Chapter 405 (2/2)
Of course, visiting his peers in the same industry was also one of the purposes.
The whole day passed very soon.
“We are leaving. Let’s go to the hotel.” Zhou Shijie parted with others and then said to Yuan Zhou.
“Um. I’m very full today.” Yuan Zhou said subconsciously.
“That’s good. Then we don’t need to eat dinner and I can save some money.” Zhou Shijie said smilingly.
“Indeed. I’m going out to wander around.” When Yuan Zhou walked to the entrance of the hotel, he suddenly said that.
“Ok. I will stay out of that in case you have a nice affair.” With a temperament of a kid, Zhou Shijie teased him right away.
“No, there won’t be. I will just wander around the entrance.” Yuan Zhou shook his head.
“There might be. Remember you are in France now, young man.” Zhou Shijie burst into laughter and directly went upstairs.
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou really stayed at the entrance and thought quietly where he should go.
After about one minute or so, the doorman at the side came over to him.
“Sir, what can I do for you?” The doorman was a tall and blond handsome man.
Yuan Zhou could understand him. He turned his head and looked at the doorman silently. Meanwhile, he was struggling in his heart about how to answer it.
“Occasionally, it isn’t good to understand French. How shall I answer him now?” Yuan Zhou grumbled quite speechlessly.
After all, he could only listen, but couldn’t speak.
While Yuan Zhou was in an embarrassing situation outside, Zhou Shijie received a phone call after he went back to his room.
“Why do you have time to call me?” Looking at the two characters Chu Xiao on the screen, Zhou Shijie answered the phone decisively and teased him.
“I know you are in France now. Are you used to the surroundings here?” Chu Xiao revealed a natural tone as if he had called to make small talk.
“This old man merely came here for a visit. I didn’t see you today.” Zhou Shijie asked conveniently.
“Yes. Presumably we didn’t meet.” Chu Xiao said calmly.
“So tell me. What’s the matter?” Zhou Shijie came to the point.
“How many of you are there?” Chu Xiao suddenly asked that.
“Two.” Zhou Shijie knitted his brows and said frankly.
He didn’t forget that Yuan Zhou was also here.
“Please don’t feel surprised if I want to treat you guys to dinner.” Even when Chu Xiao was talking, his polite remarks couldn’t conceal his pride.
“You are going to cook?” Zhou Shijie immediately understood what Chu Xiao meant.
“Of course. I will serve my signature dish then.” Chu Xiao said affirmatively.
“Ok. No problem.” Zhou Shijie accepted this invitation directly. He didn’t ask Yuan Zhou for his opinion before deciding to take him there together.
“Then let’s meet in my restaurant at noon three days later.” Chu Xiao reported his address.
“Wait.” Just before Chu Xiao hung off the phone, Zhou Shijie stopped him.
“What’s the matter?” It was Chu Xiao’s turn to ask that this time.
“Since you’re going to treat me to dinner, I want to treat you when you go back home, too. How do you like that proposal?” Zhou Shijie was quite confident of this invitation.
“All right.” Chu Xiao agreed clearly at the other end of the phone.
“Then, everything is fine.” Zhou Shijie smiled contentedly and then hung off the phone.
“He’s a capable man.” Chu Xiao recalled that Yuan Zhou could always tell the merits and demerits of the dishes when he tasted them.
Even if he ate them for the very first time.
That’s right. Chu Xiao had also been to the exchange of pointers that day and he had even seen Yuan Zhou and the chairman Zhou Shijie. However, he didn’t go to greet them, but just looked at them quietly.
Nevertheless, that also provided Chu Xiao with a reason to treat them to dinner.
