Chapter 656 - The Narcissistic Boss (1/2)

“Coming here today hadn’t been in the plan but now it seems like I don’t have to change my original plan,” Ma Zhida joyfully said.

“I’m only buying you Egg Fried Rice, nothing else, alright?” the young man replied with a smile.

“Yeah, yeah. I won’t be too picky. Don’t worry,” Ma Zhida answered and nodded with a solemn expression to reassure the young man.

“I can’t do anything about you, can I?” The young man shook his head, finding this affair funny.

Just like that, the two chatted while waiting in line. It was quite odd as the two hadn’t even exchanged their names yet they were already chatting like old friends.

“After not seeing you for so long, I thought you won’t come anymore,” Ma Zhida lamented when they were seated.

“What would you like to order?” Zhou Jia asked before the young man could reply.

“Two Egg Fried Rice,” the young man turned his head to face Zhou Jia and said.

The young man really only ordered Egg Fried Rice and nothing else.

“Ok. Please pay first.” Zhou Jia gave the usual reply.

“I know.” The young man nodded and took out his phone to transfer the corresponding amount of money over to the restaurant.

“Done. We received it. Please wait a moment.” Zhou Jia glanced at the phone and nodded with a smile.

“Ok.” Done with that, the young man turned around again to look at Ma Zhida.

“Truth be told, I have really forgotten about this,” the young man seriously said.

“Looks like I’m quite lucky then, for you to eventually recall this,” Ma Zhida answered with a laugh.

“Not really. I am also a lucky one as just like you, I had also borrowed some money to someone else.” The young man maintained a serious expression on his face.

“Oh?” This got Ma Zhida confused.

At first, Ma Zhida thought that this young man was only kidding when he said that he had forgotten. It would seem like that was not the case.

“I went outstation to Yunnan for about a month,” the young man first took a sip off the water offered as part of the set meal before he spoke.

“Is this the start of a story? Technician, aim the camera over here, please,” Ma Zhida joked.

“Don’t tease me. It’s only a short story.” The young man nodded and continued speaking.

“In fact, it’s nothing major. I went outstation and one day I had a Crossing Bridge Noodles in a restaurant. That restaurant was packed full of people. The queue alone took a long time,” while speaking, the young man did not stop moving as he took the wrapping off the appetizing candy and ate it.

“I think those are the specialty noodles of Yunnan.” Ma Zhida nodded approvingly.

“The people there do things differently than us when eating rice noodles. There, the customers will line up at the counter to place an order get a receipt before paying at a different counter,” the young man gave a short description of that restaurant.

“Oh, that’s quite similar to that hand-pulled noodles shop at Lanzhou.” Ma Zhida was quite a good listener. Not only would he seriously listen, he would also give serious replies as well.

“Yeah. They’re indeed quite similar.” The young man nodded.

“While in the line with my colleague, a girl with short-curly hair was in front of me. She has an IKEA-like look,” the young man started describing the look of that girl.

“You gave her quite a thorough observation, huh? What the hell is IKEA-like look anyway?” Ma Zhida asked with a cheeky smile on his face.

“A person that has an ordinary appearance but gives off a comfortable and obedient feeling,” the young man shrugged and selectively answer only a part of Ma Zhida’s question.

“Tsk tsk, you even found out about her character,” Ma Zhida teased with a hidden meaning in his words.
