Chapter 620 - Leaving The Door Open (2/2)

“He’s probably waiting for somebody or has something to do.” Yuan Zhou wasn’t curious about the old man’s purpose.

“Is it possible that he wants to eat your dishes but doesn’t bring money?” Mu Xiaoyun suddenly asked imaginatively.

“No, it isn’t.” Yuan Zhou said directly and affirmatively.

“Why?” Mu Xiaoyun felt a little confused.

“Because he’s dressed neatly in superior custom-made clothes. It’s not early anymore. Go back now.” Yuan Zhou started to urge Mu Xiaoyun to go back.

After all, darkness came very early in winter. At the moment, only the lanterns were still on in the side street.

“Okay. Bye, boss.” Mu Xiaoyun looked at the old man first before she left.

Not until when Shen Min arrived, tidied up the second floor of the pub, and all the drinkers went upstairs did Yuan Zhou raise his head from the book.

He looked at the outside of the restaurant, finding that old man with white hair and wrinkled skin still standing in the middle of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and Boss Tong’s dry cleaning store.

With the help of the lanterns hung overhead by Yuan Zhou, he could just see the old man’s face.

“Ta Ta Ta”. Yuan Zhou stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

“Dinnertime has ended. Please come early tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou stood at the door and said with a moderate volume which the old man could barely hear clearly.

“Little Boss, are you talking to me?” The old man took a while to react and then he asked.

“Yes. Please come early to line up tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou said lightly.

“I’m not here to eat. I’m just waiting for someone.” The old man smiled and then explained.

“At this time of day, no one will come for meals.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

“It’s someone else rather than your customer.” The old man shook his head.

Okay. The restaurant will be closed very soon.” Yuan Zhou turned around and left after saying that.

“Thank you. I’ll leave in a little while.” The old man moved slightly and then stood still again.

Though Yuan Zhou told him that he would close the door, he actually didn’t. Only when the old man left did he close the door.

After all, the inside temperature of the restaurant was controlled by the system. As long as one stood beside the door, one could feel the warmth. Why would Yuan Zhou save on something provided by the system for free?

Yuan Zhou wasn’t the kind of person who would be thrifty in any situation.

The next day, the old man arrived again. He had arrived even when Yuan Zhou got up and went jogging. He was still standing at the same place.

This time, however, the old man took a trunk, a big brown leather trunk. It was placed beside the old man.

“Morning, Little Boss. You are jogging for exercise.” The old man greeted Yuan Zhou first when he saw him.

“Morning.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head without saying anything and ran away.

On the third day, Yuan Zhou saw him again. He had seen him for three consecutive days. The old man stood outside Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and waited for someone early in the morning every day. Sometimes, he took the brown leather trunk while sometimes, he didn’t.

However, the duration of the stay was always the same, from early morning to midnight.

As he stayed here for quite a few days, the customers all noticed this old man. And by then, the old man graudually got more familiar with Yuan Zhou.

After all, Yuan Zhou always closed the door only after the old man left.

In the evening of that day, Yuan Zhou reminded the old man again that he was going to close the door.

“Little Boss Yuan, this restaurant was a tailor shop formerly.” There was a sense of reminiscence in the old man’s tone when he said that.

“Well, I didn’t know about that.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then said.
