Chapter 665 - Hotpot for Three (1/2)

Nobody said anything about the girl’s eating habit. In fact, some even approved of it.

“Yes, this is how it should be. But it has been a while since I last did that,” a customer lamented.

“I remember hearing from the older generation when I was young,” someone else said with a thoughtful look.

“Eating this way seems to make the food taste even better,” a different person said when he glanced over at the girl who was focused on eating.

“Should we give it a try?” someone proposed.

“Jia Jia, one more Egg Fried Rice, please.” Someone acted immediately on the thought.

A good eating ambiance was infectious. A proof of this was the fact that suddenly, the amount of Egg Fried Rice orders increased.

This drove those who were in the line outside helpless. After all, if the customers inside ate more, they would have to wait longer.

“I feel like this is the cruelest torture, being made to smell and not eat like this,” Zhao Yingjun rubbed his belly and said with a sigh.

“Yeah, I was only a bit late and have to be subjected to this.” Man Man nodded in agreement.

“We’re good. After all, we’re the next batch up,” Liu Chen said with his neck stretched out as he looked into the restaurant.

This Liu Chen was precisely the guy who had brought a group and surrounded Yuan Zhou’s restaurant requesting for a solution for one line.

“Luckily, we made our booking two days ago.” Brother Jun behind Liu Chen nodded thankfully.

Inside the restaurant, the customers were eating in a lively atmosphere. Outside the restaurant, everyone waited silently. The entire scene looked rather harmonious.

Just like that, lunchtime passed.

Ling Hong, Jiang Changxi, and Wu Hai were the last diners to leave the restaurant.

“Let’s go have hotpot. I’ll pay for it,” suddenly, Ling Hong said when they reached the door.

“It is quite rare for a stingy rich kid like you to buy us a meal. You’re not thinking of poisoning us, right?” Wu Hai rubbed his small mustaches and cautiously said.

Wu Hai was still holding a grudge over Ling Hong not inviting him over for the fish banquet. However, there was no helping it as Ling Hong never ate discounted food.

And that fish banquet turned out to be holding a promotion.

“Indeed, it’s quite rare. What’s the occasion?” Jiang Changxi turned around and asked.

“No occasion. It will be the Chinese New Year soon and I will be away for a few days. The old man kept asking me to go back for the new year,” Ling Hong shrugged and casually said.

Of course, Ling Hong automatically ignored the contents of Wu Hai’s words.

“True, I will be away for a few days as well. I’m flying over to Beijing to sign a contract during the new year,” Jiang Changxi nodded in agreement and nonchalantly said.

“Looks like I’m the one that is the most free here,” Wu Hai said smugly.

“Hehe, Zheng Jiawei will come to look for you,” Ling Hong said as he looked at Wu Hai in disdain.

“Why should I care about that?” Wu Hai said, his face indifferent.

“Of course you don’t care about Zheng Jiawei. But I think the younger sister of a certain someone will come as well,” Jiang Changxi teased with a smile on her face.

After all, the story of how Wu Hai was dumped into the trunk had already spread everywhere by the hardworking Wu Lin.

“Hmm, I think so as well. After all, it’s the Chinese New Year.” Ling Hong rubbed his chin and nodded earnestly.

Wu Hai first had a pained expression on his face. He then said smugly, “Her? She’s very busy.”

Looking at Wu Hai’s smug expression, Ling Hong merely smiled and did not comment on that. He then suggested, “Ok, let’s stop here. We’ll meet during dinner.”

“See you tonight.” Dragging his slippers, Wu Hai returned to his own building.

“See you.” Jiang Changxi waved and walked away.

Inside the restaurant, Yuan Zhou heard everything with his sharp ears.

“It’s the Chinese New Year soon,” Yuan Zhou sighed.
