Chapter 404: I Don’t Know If My French Is Good

Early next morning, Zhong Lili went to the company directly. Once she put her handbag down, she started to process the documents on the table.

Having arrived a little later, her assistant Chengzi also placed the breakfast in his hands down hurriedly and started to sort the schedules out earnestly.

However, she knitted her brows upon seeing the schedule for visiting Yuan Zhou’s restaurant again.

“The boss was in a bad mood when she came back yesterday and furthermore, she didn’t get the work done. It was definitely that chef who caused trouble.” Chengdi murmured with a low voice. Having thought for quite a while, she took the schedule paper and entered the office.

“Dong Dong”. Chengzi knocked on the door lightly.

“Come in.” Zhong Lili gave the impression of a strong and capable woman when she was in the office.

Therefore, she spoke clearly and concisely.

“This is the schedule for today. I have completed it. Please check if there are any problems.” Chengzi put the document in his hand on the imperial red solid-wood office table.

“Um, no problem.” Zhong Lili glanced at the schedule very quickly. When she saw the schedule of going to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, she frowned unconsciously yet did not say anything.

“I can also manage the matter of collecting information and applying for the passport. How about you go attend the meeting of the China Chef’s Alliance with the chairman?” Chengzi proposed considerately.

“No need. I will go alone.” Zhong Lili considered for a second and denied the proposal.

Even though she didn’t want to see Yuan Zhou, she would never give up since it was arranged by Zhou Shijie.

Judging from his sculpting skills, however, Yuan Zhou had enough reason to be that prideful.

“Alright. I’m going out now.” Without saying anything else, Chengzi went out obediently.

“What a bother!” Zhong Lili pinched her forehead. After she checked the time, she took her coat and set out immediately.

She had originally thought a lot of time would be required this round, and therefore prepared to wait there.

And she specifically wore flat shoes. Despite that, Yuan Zhou gave her a surprise again.

“All the necessary information is over there. After everything is done, please return them back to me. Thank you.” Yuan Zhou didn’t sculpt today. Instead, he was sharpening a knife, a common iron knife.

Seeing Zhong Lili come to him, he directly pointed at the long curved table and said.

“Ok. Thanks, Mr. Yuan.” Zhong Lili was stunned for a while and then replied.

After a nod, Yuan Zhou no longer said anything. Having gotten all the information, Zhong Lili became relieved.

“Hooo… Fortunately, I don’t need to come again.” Zhong Lili felt very lucky while she said that.

…

The trip to France came very soon. Yuan Zhou was still a little muddled even while sitting on the plane.

“Tsk. Evil capitalism!” Looking at the spacious plane, Yuan Zhou ridiculed expressionlessly.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou was sitting in the first-class cabin. The professional aircrews were beautiful and polite and their voices were light and gentle.

“Mr. Yuan, here is your seat.” An air stewardess showed Yuan Zhou his seat politely.

“Ok. Thank you.” Yuan Zhou followed her instructions and sat down.

“What would you like to drink?” The beautiful air stewardess bowed and inquired courteously.

“A cup of plain boiled water.” Yuan Zhou answered calmly. No one really realized it was Yuan Zhou’s first time sitting in the first-class cabin of a plane.

Even Zhou Shijie, who was sitting beside him, didn’t realize that.

However, Yuan Zhou was ridiculing inwardly, “It’s truly a capitalist society. Fortunately, I won’t be affected.”

The service of the air stewardess was indeed much better than that of the economy class cabin. So were the drinks and the dishes.

“We’ll go to Beijing for a flight transfer. That way, we can arrive early.” Zhou Shijie turned his head and said to Yuan Zhou.
