Chapter 401 (2/2)

“Chairman, who are you preparing to take with you to the exchange of pointers for new French dishes?” The woman handed the documents to him and asked with a slight nasal tone that sounded quite charming.

“Little Zhong, why haven’t you gone for your meal?” Zhou Shijie raised his head and asked her mildly when he saw the woman.

“Grandpa Zhou, check this one first, please. It has been more than one month and it’s the time for us to give them an answer now.” There was some mischievousness of a daughter revealed in the voice of the woman instead of the expected swift and decisive manner.

“Ok, ok.” Zhou Shijie agreed smilingly. He received the documents and wrote a name that had been decided by him a while ago.

“Yuan Zhou?” The woman called Little Zhong asked curiously.

“This guy is a prodigy, a real prodigy.” Thinking of the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou, Zhou Shijie couldn’t help praising him.

“Ok, chairman. I will hand his information to them today.” Little Zhong said earnestly.

“Ok. Go ahead.” Zhou Shijie nodded his head.

Little Zhong first handed the documents to the assistant waiting at the door and then returned to the office again.

“What’s the matter?” Zhou Shijie signaled her to sit down.

“Zhi”, Little Zhong pulled out the chair and sat down before she spoke.

“Grandpa Zhou, are you not prepared to take Adan there?” Judging from her tone to her behavior, it was obviously a private conversation.

“No, I am not. He’s not stable and will not make it.” Zhou Shijie said cleanly.

“Do you know your disciples are all waiting for this opportunity impatiently?” Little Zhong said smilingly with a pettish manner while supporting her chin.

“Those guys don’t have the talent. It’s a waste to give this opportunity to them.” Zhou Shijie reached out his hands and patted on Little Zhong’s head.

“Well, ok. Shall we go to eat something together, Grandpa Zhou?” Seeing Zhou Shijia not intend to say more, Little Zhong changed a subject.

“Girl, go eat now. Let me make two phone calls.” Zhou Shijie stroked his beard and waved his hand to Little Zhong.

“Ok. I’m leaving. Grandpa, remember to eat something.” Little Zhong stood up, turned around and then left the office.

“What a cute and mischievous girl.” Zhou Shijie shook his head to the back of Little Zhong and said that.

After Little Zhong walked out and shut the door of the office considerately, Zhou Shijie began to make phone calls.

“Du Du Du”, the phone was answered after a little while.

“Chairman Zhou, what’s the matter?” It was the flaunty and confident voice of Chu Xiao at the other end of the phone.

“This old man wouldn’t call you for no reason.” Zhou Shijie was quite clear that Chu Xiao was frank and straightforward. Thus, he continued saying that directly.

“This old man wants to treat you to dinner.”

“To dinner?” Chu Xiao was a little puzzled.

“Yes. Let’s go to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant to eat.” Zhou Shijie said affirmatively.

“Well… I don’t think that is necessary. I have returned to France.” Chu Xiao immediately reacted and refused directly.

“You left so quickly?” Zhou Shijie knitted his brows as it was out of his expectation.

“Yes. I went back already.” Chu Xiao answered positively.

“Ok. Let’s talk about it next time.” Zhou Shijie could only give up.

After some small talk, Chu Xiao hung up the phone. He didn’t put his phone down immediately, but made a call instead.

“Change the flight ticket to France to today.” Once the phone was put through, Chu Xiao said directly.

“Ok, Mr. Chu. I will notify you the precise time later.” There passed a melodious male voice from the other end of the phone.

“Um.” Chu Xiao answered, indicating that he got it.

“Interesting.” Taking the phone, Chu Xiao smiled vaguely. Then he started to tidy things up and prepared to leave.

As for the matter that the original ticket was for two days later, only Chu Xiao and his assistant knew about it.

Since Zhou Shijie said he would make two phone calls, he indeed did so. The second one was made to Yuan Zhou…
