Chapter 525 (1/2)

The restaurant fell silent for an instant and then became noisy and clamorous again. People kept talking and enjoying the delicacies like before.

Yuan Zhou stared at the dishes in the pan earnestly and his arms slightly shook. Then, the Stir-fried Dongpo turned over evenly and beautifully in the pan.

Yuan Zhou’s movements of tossing the pan were quite aesthetic. When he put forth his strength, his shoulders were slightly hunched; his arms were taut; and the outline of muscles were revealed on his wheat-colored skin. With his five fingers holding the panhandle strongly, he could toss the pan very evenly every time although the movement range wasn’t really large.

And this was just the quick tips of tossing the pan that Yuan Zhou had mastered after he exercised repeatedly again and again. His movements were swift, effective, and beautiful like the floating clouds and flowing water.

Having been immersed in the cooking of the delicacies, Yuan Zhou naturally had no time to answer Liu Jianan.

Therefore, Liu Jianan just stood there still like a fool and felt a little puzzled.

“Hello, sir.” Fortunately, he didn’t need to wait too long. Zhou Jia spared some time to go up and speak to him courteously.

“Hello.” Liu Jianan also answered courteously.

“Boss Yuan never talks about other things when he is cooking.” Zhou Jia said politely.

“I see. Boss Yuan is really attentive.” Liu Jianan sighed with emotion and didn’t say anything else.

“Yes.” Zhou Jia nodded the head.

“Then when does Boss Yuan have time? I’m really very anxious to ask him something.” When Liu Jianan said that, he revealed sincerity in his eyes with a look of anxiety.

“The business time of our restaurant is two hours during noon, three hours in the evening and another three hours for the pub.” Zhou Jia said carefully.

“Okay. Thank you.” Liu Jianan raised his wrist and checked the time before he thanked her hurriedly.

“You are welcome.” Zhou Jia shook her head and then continued to greet other customers.

“Then I’ll wait for him outside the restaurant.” After saying that, Liu Jianan ran out of the restaurant and then stood still at the door like a security guard.

“So many silly boys.” Master Cheng sighed with emotion.

“It seems that you also succeed this way.” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and appeared to harbor malicious intentions.

“Ahem Ahem. I’m different from him. I’m a guest-pupil approved by Boss Yuan.” Master Cheng smiled patiently and said unhurriedly.

“But you are still a guest-pupil.” Wu Hai said to the point.

On hearing that, Master Cheng turned his head and stared at Yuan Zhou’s hands without even blinking. Without saying anything more, he just studied cooking seriously.

Yuan Zhou, who was now cooking earnestly, was nevertheless fully immersed in the delicacies and unable to extricate himself. At the other side, however, Jiang Changxi got a new idea.

She got a new idea to embarrass Yuan Zhou. Of course, she attributed the new idea to one of her assistants surnamed Yang.

“Special Assistant Liu, do we have a holiday for the lunar new year?” Assistant Yang blinked her big eyes and looked at the Special Assistant Liu beside her.

“Little girl, you start to think about holidays even before the holiday arrives?” Special Assistant Liu was a little older. When he heard that, he poked Assistant Yang’s forehead and then said with a smile.

“No, I’m not. Director Jiang is always so busy that she hasn’t been to Boss Yuan’s restaurant for a few days.” Assistant Yang fawned on her boss and said that.

“Humph. You really think too much.” Special Assistant Liu patted Assistant Yang.

“As I see our work seems to be coming to the end, I gossiped a little bit.” Assistant Yang stuck out her tongue to act cute and then said with an innocent expression.

“So you know this is just gossip, don’t you? Don’t worry. We’ll go off work on time today.” Special Assistant Liu rolled his eyes at Assistant Yang and said what she wanted to hear most.

“Amazing!” Assistant Yang immediately cheered.

“Keep your voice down, otherwise Director Jiang will hear that.” Special Assistant Liu glared at Assistant Yang.
