Chapter 584 (2/2)
“Um. When can the ID be returned?” Yuan Zhou asked casually.
“Don’t worry. I will return it to you tomorrow. I’m leaving now. See you tomorrow.” Zhong Lili said smilingly.
“See you.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head.
It didn’t require a very long time to apply for group visas concerning public affairs. Besides, Yuan Zhou didn’t need to go there in person. Regarding this matter, it was quite convenient.
Three days passed in a flash. Yuan Zhou had already given the request of leave to Zhou Jia last night and instructed her to come over to post it early in the morning. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was quite relieved when he left.
At 5:40 the next morning, Yuan Zhou pulled a silver luggage bag and walked out from the back door. He directly walked to the side street and waited for Zhong Lili to come to pick him up.
Zhong Lili arrived punctually. At 5:50, she drove a white Volvo XC60 and reached the street outside Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
Once the car stopped, Zhong Lili caught sight of Yuan Zhou who was waiting at the street intersection, hence she immediately got off the car.
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting for so long, Mr. Yuan.” Zhong Lili said with an apologetic look.
“It’s just 5:50 now. Let’s go.” Yuan Zhou took a look at Zhong Lili and then said.
“Let me help you.” Zhong Lili wanted to receive Yuan Zhou’s suitcase, but Yuan Zhou just evaded her.
“No need.” Yuan Zhou refused her and then carried the suitcase to the trunk of the car by himself.
“Open it.” After Yuan Zhou stood still, he said again.
“Okay.” Zhong Lili walked quickly to Yuan Zhou again. She moved her foot under the trunk and shook it slightly, opening the trunk.
“Cars are really advanced nowadays. The remote control can even be installed on the feet.” Yuan Zhou looked at Zhong Lili’s feet and the trunk without turning a hair and muttered inwardly.
An ignorant fellow like Yuan Zhou could not drive, nor did he want to buy a car. Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t know there was actually a sensor below the trunk rather than a remote control being installed on a foot.
Zhong Lili had no idea of that. If she knew Yuan Zhou’s thoughts, she would definitely feel helpless. After all, it was really a crazy thought that a remote control was installed on a foot.
Having packed the suitcase in the trunk, the two of them got into the car. As usual, Yuan Zhou sat at the back seat even if the passenger side wasn’t occupied. He was accustomed to sitting behind.
“Mr. Yuan, there are 12 people in all who are going to Japan this time. Apart from Mr. Li Minghui and Mr. Liu Tong who comes from our province, the others have already checked into the hotel beside the airport. They will set out directly from the hotel.” When the car was running steadily on the highway, Zhong Lili said to Yuan Zhou.
“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head, indicating that he was listening to her.
“Of all the 12 people, three come from our province and the rest are from other provinces. However, different chefs are basically good at different cuisines. Liu Tong and you are the two youngest chefs among them.” Zhong Lili said in detail.
“Liu Tong should be elder than me.” Yuan Zhou said abruptly.
“Yes. Mr. Liu is elder than you by one and a half year.” Zhong Lili was stunned for an instant and then answered.
Yuan Zhou naturally knew who Liu Tong was. During the All-Fish Banquet last time, he realized that Liu Tong was older than him. After all, it could be clearly seen that he was younger and more handsome than Liu Tong.
“We are heading for Tokyo, Japan this time. Because there’s a direct flight to Tokyo from Chengdu, we will leave from here. Everyone will have a separate room in the hotel. If you have any problems then, you can come to me at any time. I can speak Japanese.” Zhong Lili didn’t ask Yuan Zhou if he could speak Japanese, but only stated that she could. It was also a kind of courtesy in communication.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou listened to her carefully the entire ride…
