Chapter 491 (1/2)

“Shua”. Upon hearing Yuan Zhou asking Mu Xiaoyun to fill his tea cup again, Division Chief Lin immediately handed his cup to her.

Yes, he did that even before Yuan Zhou brought up his own cup.

“Come on. Fill my cup 90% full. I can handle it.” Division Chief Lin said affirmatively.

“But this is for Brother Yuan.” Looking at Division Chief Lin, Mu Xiaoyun said seriously.

“Never mind. Boss Yuan is a talented master and won’t make a fuss about that.” Division Chief Lin bamboozled Mu Xiaoyun with a smile.

“Not really.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and said coldly.

“Aha, okay. You first and I will follow.” Division Chief Lin just followed up after Yuan Zhou. He wasn’t angry at all.

After that, Yuan Zhou didn’t know what to say. In order to drink the tea, Division Chief Lin had decided to do anything, even if he had to lose face.

Because of Division Lin’s unending efforts, Mu Xiaoyun had to pour tea for him.

Yuan Zhou didn’t have much leisure time. As dinner time was about to arrive, Yuan Zhou started to get things ready and then returned to the kitchen.

“Why did you come over here today?” While rinsing and washing the teapot and cups, Yuan Zhou asked Mu Xiaoyun casually.

“I just wanted to ask if I can come to work again during the winter vacation.” Once she said that, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise.

Mu Xiaoyun indeed came over here today for something, but she was just too embarrassed to tell Yuan Zhou. After all, she knew that Yuan Zhou had recruited two helpers. When she was drinking tea later, she had intended to forget the idea. But in the end, Yuan Zhou still asked her.

“Boss Yuan, how did you know I came here for something?” Mu Xiaoyun stared at Yuan Zhou with her eyes wide open and her ponytail wagging worriedly.

“Yes, you can. The pay is the same as before.” Yuan Zhou didn’t answer the second question, but just said straightforwardly.

“Huh? Thank you. Thank you, Boss Yuan. That is so kind of you.” Mu Xiaoyun was so happy now that she didn’t care how Yuan Zhou knew about the issue anymore. She just kept thanking him.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then put the teaware away before he went back to his restaurant.

“Fantastic.” Mu Xiaoyun clenched her fists happily and prepared to follow Yuan Zhou into the restaurant.

“Go back earlier.” Yuan Zhou uttered and stopped her directly.

“Ok. I’ll come by next time.” Immediately, Mu Xiaoyun followed Yuan Zhou’s advice and left.

“There’s no tea anymore.” Yuan Zhou looked at Division Chief Lin who followed him into the room unhappily.

“I only drank two cups of the tea.” Division Chief Lin made a gesture with two fingers and said irritably.

“Okay.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head, without saying yes or no.

“So I still want some more.” Division Chief Lin said immodestly.

“I don’t have more.” Yuan Zhou refused him cleanly.

“There are still some tea leaves over there. I want to buy 50g, only 50g.” Division Chief Lin estimated his salary and said reluctantly.

The tea leaves were definitely top-quality, therefore Division Chief Lin didn’t dare to buy too much. But no matter what, 50g of the tea leaves should still be affordable.

“I am not selling them.” Yuan Zhou refused.

“Why?” Division Chief Lin stared at Yuan Zhou’s tea box without even blinking.

“Dinner time has not yet arrived. No service is available at the moment.” Yuan Zhou started to drive him away directly.

“Okay, I’ll stand by the door.” Division Chief Lin didn’t dare to disobey Yuan Zhou.

The life of Division Chief Lin was like the tea leaves in Yuan Zhou’s hands, being grasped by Yuan Zhou. If it were the grandpa, however, he would probably would have snatched it forcibly or helplessly collapse on the ground to get it. After all, the grandpa had been taking care of his grandson recently and might have learned these little tricks from his grandson.

“The tea leaves are not for sale.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he returned to the kitchen and started to prepare dinner.

Division Chief Lin was still there. Even if he heard Yuan Zhou’s words, he didn’t leave and remained standing at the door.

Therefore, the customers that came to line up for the dinner surprisingly saw Division Chief Lin standing at the door and looking toward the inside of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant eagerly, not intending to go line up.
