Chapter 553 (1/2)

Indeed, Yuan Zhou knew nothing about the contest of the Chef’s Association of Sichuan Province. He still wanted to have a chance to be well-known in the province, but not with this kind of opportunity.

As for why Yuan Zhou knew nothing about this contest, it was fairly simple.

Chairman Zhou naturally wouldn’t invite Yuan Zhou personally for these kinds of petty things.

Lee Yanyi had his own reasons and definitely wouldn’t tell Yuan Zhou about this kind of information. After all, in his opinion, this was only a trivial contest of the next generation, even if it was actually a provincial contest.

It was more understandable for Li Minghui. How could he voluntarily invite Yuan Zhou to attend the contest? He couldn’t even invite him to be the judge.

It was as funny as inviting Chu Xiao, the youngest Michelin Three Star chef, to attend the contest.

As for why the judges didn’t invite Yuan Zhou, it was simpler. After all, a high-level chef such as Chu Xiao wouldn’t have time to attend such an insignificant contest.

As a result, this was the situation that happened.

During the interval after breakfast and before lunch, Yuan Zhou put on the Han Chinese Clothing embroidered with lotus flowers as usual and came to the door to prepare sculpting.

“Hi. Are you Boss Yuan?” A man dressed in a business suit and leather shoes took two steps forward and asked politely.

“Yes, I am.” In front of others, Yuan Zhou subconsciously kept his face taut before nodding his head.

“You are really busy. I have waited here for you for two hours.” This person said gently and politely. He didn’t flaunt when he said he had waited for two hours, but contrarily appeared excited upon seeing Yuan Zhou.

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou stood up and asked.

“Yes, I indeed have something to talk to you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come over to bother you.” This person appeared older than Yuan Zhou, but he used a very polite salutation when greeting Yuan Zhou in a natural and harmonious manner.

“What’s the matter?” Instead of addressing his greeting, Yuan Zhou asked straightforwardly.

“Here’s the thing. My name is Liu Xinming and I’m a businessman doing small business. I heard Boss Tong gave her store to you. I want to ask how much are you prepared to sell it.” Liu Xinming, namely the man dressed in business suit and leather shoes, brought out his own purpose in one breath.

He simply came here for Boss Tong’s dry cleaning shop next to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. In this case, he naturally would be courteous to Yuan Zhou.

However, there was another reason for Liu Xinming to be courteous to Yuan Zhou. He had done preliminary market research and knew it was Yuan Zhou who brought prosperity to this side street. If he wanted to do business here, he must be very courteous to Yuan Zhou.

“I never intended to sell it.” Yuan Zhou refused flatly.

“I know you got this store for than a month ago, but you neither decorate it nor open it. That’s why I’m asking. Just tell me a price and let’s discuss about it. Alright?” Liu Xinming didn’t lose heart because of Yuan Zhou’s refusal.

“No need. It’s not a matter of money.” Yuan Zhou said cleanly.

Speaking of the matter of money, Yuan Zhou felt very proud in the heart.

Ever since Yuan Zhou knew these words, Yuan Zhou had wanted to say that out. And now, he finally got this opportunity.

“Okay. This is my name card. Please keep it. If you want to sell that store later, remember to consider me. Sorry for bothering you, Mr. Yuan.” Liu Xinming handed his name card to Yuan Zhou courteously.

“Okay, but I won’t sell it.” Yuan Zhou received the name card and said earnestly.

“Then treat it as making a friend. Yeah, making a friend.” Liu Xinming remained smiling enthusiastically and then left.

Yuan Zhou put away the name card. Though he wouldn’t call him, he still kept it well. This was Yuan Zhou’s way of doing things.

After that, Yuan Zhou came back to the door. When he prepared to sit down, another person came to him. The opening remark was as same as that of Liu Xinming.
