Chapter 673 - An Awkward Incident and Comfort (1/2)
“I won’t be holding myself back then. Give me a bowl of sweet Tangyuan first,” Chu Xiao suddenly said.
That’s right. Earlier, Chu Xiao had only been silently looking at Yuan Zhou kneading the dough and hadn’t ordered.
“Ok.” Yuan Zhou nodded with his back facing Chu Xiao.
Yu Chu couldn’t understand this. It was not his first time hearing Jiang Changxi complaining about Yuan Zhou being miserly. Even though today was the Chinese New Year’s Eve, it shouldn’t affect him being miserly.
After all, he had never heard of a person being miserly only on selected dates.
Therefore, Yu Chu frowned and looked at Jiang Changxi doubtfully.
“Although Boss Yuan is a miserly person, although he is extremely obstinate, although he has low EQ, but when it comes to food, he would never be dishonest.” After Jiang Changxi spoke, she gazed at Yuan Zhou, seemingly expecting Yuan Zhou to show some appreciation for her praise.
Yuan Zhou turned his head and continued cooking. He pretended to not notice Jiang Changxi. Should he even react to this kind of praise?
Even though Yuan Zhou had ignored what Jiang Changxi said, everyone else resonated with what she said.
“So true. That is the only good point about Compass.” Wu Hai stroked his mustache.
“I have never seen someone as unlikable as Boss Yuan.” Ling Hong continued the line of discussion. However, he neglected to say that he himself was also an unlikable person. That was why he would feel somewhat empty during the family gathering and instinctively arrived here, being unknowingly attracted toward people that were similar to him.
“If Boss Yuan could change his rules and allow his customers to order two servings, I believe he would be a very popular guy.”
“I agree.”
Mr. Wei and his daughter said one after the other, trying to change Yuan Zhou’s mind.
Chen Wei was a frank person. Therefore, he stepped out to provide a fair judgment, “Don’t talk about Boss Yuan like that. Let me say something fair. If it wasn’t for the fact that Boss Yuan’s dishes are tasty, he would have been beaten up long ago.”
Chu Xiao sat there silently while nodding in agreement.
Yuan Zhou was speechless when he saw Chu Xiao nodding. One ought to know that Chu Xiao was more unlikable than him. Was he not embarrassed to nod his head here?
“Sometimes, truth is better off not spoken. You guys will hurt Boss Yuan’s heart.” Wang Nan interrupted softly.
“Hahaha, your words will hurt Compass’s heart more.” Wu Hai laughed.
“Old pal, your heart has been hurt.” Ling Hong added with a laugh.
Pig, you have two holes in your nose. Yuan Zhou started replaying the “Song of Pig” in his head. At the same time, he muttered inwardly without stop, Pig Jiang, Pig Wu, Pig Chen… Everyone is a pig, don’t be angry, for a prince charming will not be bothered with pigs.
Yuan Zhou was demonstrating an impeccable self-comforting technique.
As a person who had never even kissed a girl at 25 years old, this technique was the reason why he had been able to sleep at night all these years… Oops, something was exposed.
“Actually, I think that Boss Yuan is merely someone who does not know how to express himself. He is a very nice and gentle person.” When everyone was nearly done talking, Sister Wan suddenly started countering them on behalf of Boss Yuan.
Yuan Zhou’s five senses had been upgraded by the system. Therefore, his hearing was very sharp. Although he was pretending not to care, he had still praised Sister Wan inwardly when she defended him.
“Oh?”
Everyone was waiting for Sister Wan to continue. They were all curious as to how a person with a deadpan face like Yuan Zhou could be described with the word gentle. Then, Sister Wan continued speaking with a gentle tone.
“I remember the last time when I was in a somewhat bad mood after getting into a small fight with my family, I ordered the Egg Fried Rice set meal and started eating very very slowly. I could almost count the grains of rice in the bowl. At that time, my best friend found out I was unhappy and had come over to comfort me as well.”
