Chapter 606 - A Dark Road (1/2)
The news that Yuan Zhou came back and the restaurant was opened spread to more people at noon. As a result, a great many people waited in line outside of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant before lunchtime commenced.
Even those who knew that they couldn’t get their turn also lined up and waited there, just in order to chat with others.
That’s right. Building and maintaining relationships had become a habit when the people waited in line outside of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. If anybody were to set up a booth selling sunflower seeds or tea water, the business would presumably be very good.
“Tsk-tsk. The business is so good. What kind of delicious dishes can that young boss serve?” The female boss of a nearby store that sold noodles looked at the big crowd of people in front of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant enviously. The tone of jealousy couldn’t even be concealed.
“Stop it. Don’t chatter over there. Come and make noodles now.” The male boss glared at the lazy female boss discontentedly.
“Oh, okay, got it. There’s not even a customer here,” answered the female boss. Then, she muttered while walking back “Sooner or later, I will know why your business is so good. There’s definitely some trick.”
The female boss would never believe that a young man that couldn’t even grow a beard could cook any delicious dishes. In her opinion, there was definitely a trick.
“Come over here quickly.” The male boss urged her again, which interrupted the jealous stare of the female boss.
There were a great many people in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant at noon while in the evening, more people arrived. They behaved as if it was a festival. And the cars were parked everywhere outside.
Of course, many of the car owners also received a traffic ticket.
Man Man was also waiting in line and preparing to eat dinner.
The crowd all waited under the eaves at both sides of the street. Some raindrops fell on the ground from the sky. A rainy night during winter was quite cold.
“Huh? It’s that girl.” Just when Man Man wanted to enter the restaurant, she suddenly saw the girl she had seen in the convenience store in the morning.
The short-hair girl whose scream even startled her was quite impressive.
On seeing the girl, Man Man naturally thought of the matter that she was afraid of ghosts.
“Please come in. Boss Yuan has prepared dry towels for you to wipe your hair.” Shen Min’s voice sounded by Man Man’s ears.
That’s right. Whenever it rained, Shen Min would come earlier to offer help, because Yuan Zhou would let her go back to rest when he served BBQ sometimes.
If she came earlier, she could do some more work. It wasn’t right to take the salary without doing anything after all. She couldn’t accept that.
Meanwhile, Zhou Jia greeted the customers at the other side of the door.
“Alright. I know Boss Yuan is always considerate.” Man Man knew that Shen Min and Zhou Jia said that purposely just to publicize Yuan Zhou’s kindness.
After she got seated, Man Man first said hi to Jiang Changxi beside her.
“Sister Jiang, drinking some liquor tonight?” Man Man asked.
“Of course. I haven’t drunk any for a whole week. I won’t leave until I get drunk tonight.” Jiang Changxi nodded her head deservedly.
“How is it possible for you to get drunk since there is so little of Boss Yuan’s liquor?” Man Man immediately contradicted.
“I can pretend that I’m drunk. Right, Boss Yuan?” Jiang Changxi started to make fun of Yuan Zhou while talking with Man Man.
“Wrong.” Yuan Zhou answered her cleanly.
“It looks Sister Jiang isn’t afraid of ghosts.” Man Man looked at Jiang Changxi who joked with Yuan Zhou happily and then shook the head secretly. How could a President be afraid of ghosts?
After all, Jiang Changxi always revealed a queenly temperament. How could she be afraid of, the dark or ghosts?
“Come. Come over here, Little Min.” When Man Man turned her head and saw Shen Min, she immediately summoned her.
“Okay. One minute.” Shen Min nodded her head to her and then turned back to greet other customers.
Only when there was not a vacant seat left did she walk to Man Man.
