Chapter 387: A New Side Mission

“Thank you,” the man in a suit said courteously.

“Did anybody praise you?” Ling Hong frowned.

Zhou Jia wanted to laugh at the side. Due to her professionalism, however, she managed to refrain herself from doing so. She merely turned around and reported the names of the dishes solemnly.

The man in a suit nevertheless cared little about their jokes.

“Why do you always sit here and not leave every day?” Ling Hong pointed at the man in a suit and asked immodestly.

“This young man who never eats discounted dishes, it seems to be none of your business.” Although the smile of the man in a suit turned into an artificial smile, he nevertheless still looked to be very gentle.

“Yeah, it’s indeed none of my business. So my question is also none of your business. You just need to answer me and that will be fine,” Ling Hong said quite naturally.

If it was said by others, Zhou Jia would inevitably grumble that he was so shameless. However, it was quite different since this person was Ling Hong. When she heard that, she felt it quite natural, but the man in a suit didn’t think that way.

“Ho Ho.” Instead of giving him an answer, the man in a suit just laughed.

“What are you laughing for? Tell me the reason, please.” Ling Hong looked at the man and said that.

“Sorry. I’m not prepared to tell you,” the man said decidedly.

“Interesting. However, I must know it today.” Ling Hong looked at the man with much interest.

“Mr. Ling, here are your dishes.” Zhou Jia carried his dishes to him.

“Um.” Ling Hong nodded his head. Just when he was about to inquire him again, Zhou Jia carried the dishes to the man in a suit.

This time, the man in a suit uttered ahead of him, “I’m going to have my meal now.”

Then, Ling Hong became stuck with his words and didn’t know what to say. After all, the man came here for meals rather than listening to him ask questions.

Fortunately, Ling Hong knew this man wouldn’t leave after the meal, therefore he was relieved and thus started to savor his food carefully.

In just that short while, the restaurant fell silent. Every customer was eating his own dishes.

Seeing the man not explain anything, Yuan Zhou quelled his curiosity temporarily and began to prepare other dishes earnestly.

However, the silence didn’t last long, because Ling Hong had finished his meal.

“I’m done. You can call the next person now.” Ling Hong wiped his mouth elegantly and then stood up before saying to Zhou Jia.

“Ok. Thank you, Mr. Ling,” Zhou Jia said smilingly.

“Um.” Ling Hong nodded his head.

Only then did Zhou Jia call the next customer to come inside and have the meal.

Having finished his meal, Ling Hong became idle and he started to satisfy his curiosity.

“Come on. Let’s talk.” Ling Hong said to the man in a suit who was eating his meal.

“No need. I don’t want to talk to you.” The man refused blankly.

“Then I’ll speak and you just answer,” Ling Hong said naturally.

Without a word, the man in a suit just sat there still, not giving his seat to others as always. He just stayed seated in the chair and ate leisurely.

“You should eat more quickly. Many people are still waiting for the seats.” Ling Hong didn’t really care about that. He just said that at the side.

“Are you eating slowly just to stay here longer?” Ling Hong even became worried when he saw how the man in suits ate the meal.

An adult man surprisingly ate meals in a way that dishes and plain cooked rice were eaten alternately. Not to mention the extreme slowness, he likewise liked looking around at others. Only after he peered around carefully did he lower his head and take a bite of food.

“You are also dressed decently and should not lack money for the meals. Why do you stay here for so long?” Ling Hong stroked his chin and revealed a curious expression.

“You really want to know?” The man in a suit might have been annoyed by his repeated questions and finally he turned his head and said to Ling Hong.

“Of course.” Ling Hong nodded his head.

“Actually I feel the dishes here are way too common.” Once the man talked, he uttered something surprising.

Even Yuan Zhou gaped at him in surprise.

“I mean it. The taste is indeed common.” Seeing Ling Hong not believe in him, the man in a suit said affirmatively.
