Chapter 556 (2/2)

“Ling Hong, do you feel my dishes are cheap?” Yuan Zhou changed another way to ask.

“For me, not really.” Ling Hong stroked his hair and said confidently.

“I’m asking if they are cheap.” Yuan Zhou stressed.

“Do you want to raise the price?” Ling Hong asked with uncertainty.

“No. I’m just asking randomly.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

“Oh, good. They are neither expensive nor cheap.” Ling Hong said to the point.

“Don’t you feel they are cheap?” Yuan Zhou asked again.

“What’s wrong with you?” Ling Hong was quite skeptical about the purpose of Yuan Zhou asking that.

“Never mind.” Yuan Zhou shook the head.

“Cheap, cheap. Please do not close the restaurant and go to rest.” The last few words of Ling Hong were said very softly.

“Um.” A faint smile was creeping around the corner of Yuan Zhou’s mouth. When he turned around and went back to the kitchen, he checked the mission progress.

[Main mission] From The Heart

[Mission progress] 0/100

“Why is it still 0?” Yuan Zhou frowned slightly and inquired in the heart.

The system displayed, “The mission requires sincere answers from the heart of the customers.”

“Did Ling Hong answer me perfunctorily out of fear that I will close the restaurant?” Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the last few words of Ling Hong and guessed.

However, the system didn’t give him any hint this time.

Though Yuan Zhou had finished reading the book “The Art of Speech”, he still hadn’t mastered the genuine art of speech.

If he asked this question in this way, others would only consider the price on the surface. If so, how could they bring out the words that the dishes were very cheap?

Having failed twice, Yuan Zhou nevertheless didn’t ask that anymore during the lunchtime. He prepared to make a summary first and then asked that again after the business time ended.

Therefore, this interlude of Yuan Zhou was mistaken by the customers to be an abnormality in Yuan Zhou’s routine life.

That’s right. Among the familiar customers, Yuan Zhou always had such a name. Of course, it was because Yuan Zhou kept asking strange questions from time to time.

For example, bullsh*t such as “Am I awesome?” or “Do I need to open a branch restaurant?”. At the very beginning, the customers felt Yuan Zhou would definitely ask for leave. But later, they found Yuan Zhou often asked the same thing during daily life, they got accustomed to that. For fear of Yuan Zhou asking for leave, however, they still had to say something that made Yuan Zhou unable to close the restaurant.

Therefore, the customers would mostly give Yuan Zhou the satisfactory answers that he wanted.

Of course, the conclusion of the girls was that that trait was just what made the prince charming appear cute.

When lunchtime had barely ended, a crowd of people came through the door. At that time, Zhou Jia had already gone back too.

“I’m sorry. The lunchtime has ended. Please come earlier for the dinner.” Yuan Zhou greeted them courteously.

“Hello, I’m Lingzi. Are you Boss Yuan?” A seemingly lively and cute girl stood out from the tens of people and introduced herself.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head.

“Fantastic. Hi, Boss Yuan, I have long heard of your great name. And I’m considered to be one that is in the same line of work as you.” While saying that, Lingzi reached out her hand and intended to shake hands with Yuan Zhou.

“Dear me! It’s surprisingly a beauty. It seems there is a real plot existing in this novel.” Yuan Zhou felt happy in the heart, but on the surface, he said calmly.

“Are you also a chef?” While asking that, Yuan Zhou reached his hand and prepared to shake hands with her with a quite friendly attitude.

“No, I’m good at eating, a professional epicurean. I’m actually someone that does sort of same work as you.” Lingzi blinked playfully.

On hearing the answer of Lingzi, Yuan Zhou immediately drew back his hand and stood still with his attitude back to normal. Then, he asked blandly, “Since you are not a chef, what do you come here for?”

“Well…” Then, Lingzi was embarrassed. Her hand stayed in the air awkwardly and she could neither draw it back nor leave it out.
