Chapter 372: Well-Matched Competitors

Business in the evening was the same as usual. Of course the BBQ business was even better today, because Yuan Zhou’s prior notice had attracted more people to come.

Early next morning, Yuan Zhou dressed himself decently and walked to the front door with a piece of A4 paper quietly. He pasted it on the door by himself and then went to take a cab leisurely.

“Hoo. This reason is definitely just and sincere.” Yuan Zhou looked back at the A4 paper pasted on the door from a distance and said complacently.

Today, Yuan Zhou was wearing the clothes that he had bought yesterday. It was a gray-white crease-free leisure suit with collar ornaments, inside of which was a black patterned shirt. This was coupled with black casual pants and a pair of pure-white casual shoes.

He looked both well-built and cultured. Plus with the uppermost button buttoned and Yuan Zhou’s serious manner, his whole person carried a kind of confident and reserved temperament.

He reached out to pat on the lower hem of his clothes and then said unreservedly, “Although clothes make the man, the clothes are also picky about different people. Only a prince charming like me can look so handsome in the suit.”

Yuan Zhou stood at the crossing happily, preparing to take a cab. It was still early and there were quite a few cabs. In just a little while, Yuan Zhou managed to hail a cab. Once he reported the address, the cab took whisk him away directly.

That’s right. Today was the day of the competition. Yuan Zhou didn’t request for overnight accommodations, therefore he needed to go there by himself. Of course, chefs that attended the contest could ask for cars to pick them up, but they would only be picked up at 8:00 in the morning.

If it was during that time, Yuan Zhou would definitely have been beaten to death if he left his restaurant with a swagger. Yuan Zhou understood this.

“It’s not good to be too popular,” Yuan Zhou suddenly uttered.

The driver in the front that heard him turned his head and looked back at Yuan Zhou, saying smilingly, “Since you are dressed so spiritedly, are you going there to take part in an activity?”

The destination that Yuan Zhou had reported to him was a Five Star Hotel. It was most renowned for an oversize banquet hall. Apart from being luxurious, it was also fully functioning. Naturally, this was all heard from others by the driver.

“To eat.” Yuan Zhou tilted his head and thought for a while.

In his opinion, people either ate or smelled to distinguish the food ingredients. But if he said “smell”, it would sound a little weird. So Yuan Zhou specially chose the best adjective.

“Well… The breakfast there is indeed excellent.” The driver indicated that Yuan Zhou’s words were truly sudden. Only after a short moment did he say that.

Meanwhile, the driver couldn’t help grumbling silently in his heart. Would a normal person take a cab and go to a Five Star Hotel for breakfast before 7:00 in the morning? He would give the person a score of 0 for this acting because it had wounded the soul of a person who hadn’t eaten anything.

“Damn it. Why did I drive a guy that wants to act cool to the Five Star Hotel for breakfast? Stupid.” The driver took a look at Yuan Zhou and thought in his heart.

“Um. Could one eat there alone?” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of this very important question.

After all, there wasn’t any other restaurant around over there.

“Yes.” The driver glanced at Yuan Zhou with a curious gaze before nodding and replying.

“Thank you.” Yuan Zhou thanked him.

In a short moment, the park pulled off under the porch of the hotel after a braking sound of “Zi”. Outside were the widely opened glass doors, where four doormen stood there straight in red uniforms. Seeing the car pull up there, they went up and bowed before opening the car door.

“Thank you.” After Yuan Zhou paid the fare, he got off the car and nodded his head, expressing his gratitude.

“You are welcome. This is the license number of the cab. If you have anything left inside, we can help you get it back.” A doorman said carefully and courteously.

“Ok, good.” Yuan Zhou received the card from the doorman.

“Which floor is the restaurant for breakfast?” Yuan Zhou asked conveniently.

“It’s right on the second floor of the main hall. I will summon somebody to take you there right now.” The doorman said smilingly.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then in the twinkling of an eye, he saw a sign that read, “Welcome, contestant chefs.” When he slightly stepped back, he also saw the conspicuous banner outside.

“Um. It seems to be a very big activity.” Yuan Zhou muttered privately in his heart.

Not long after, a hotel waiter summoned by the doormen came up and took Yuan Zhou to the restaurant on the second floor.
