Chapter 681 - Fighting Over Red Packets (1/2)

“Huh? System, you’re awake?” This was Yuan Zhou’s first reaction instead of accepting the reward.

The system displayed, “The mission is completed and the reward is available to be received.”

“Fine. Looks like you are not planning to wish me Happy New Year.” Yuan Zhou sighed helplessly.

The system directly hid itself, not giving any response whatsoever.

Just was Yuan Zhou was about to accept the reward, several people walked into the restaurant.

“The restaurant is closed for the day,” Yuan Zhou stood up and said.

“Heh heh, we’re not here to eat,” Man Man said with a smile on her face.

However, the smile seemed rather sinister in Yuan Zhou’s eyes. It was as if she had some hidden plan here.

“Yeah, it’s the first day of the Chinese New Year. Eating is naturally not the main priority,” Ling Hong spoke seriously.

“We’re here to wish Boss Yuan for the Chinese New Year,” Jiang Changxi said after taking out a bag.

“Happy New Year. May you stay healthy forever,” Jiang Changxi placed the stuff she brought before Yuan Zhou and wished him a happy new year.

“Happy New Year.” Yuan Zhou took out a red packet and passed it to her.

“Boss, I’m here as well. May you become more and more handsome. Happy New Year,” Mu Xiaoyun poked her head out and quickly said.

“Um. May you be more and more beautiful.” Yuan Zhou nodded and passed a red packet to her as well.

“You two are cheating. I thought we agreed to say our greetings together. Why did you say it first?” Ling Hong pointed at Jiang Changxi and Mu Xiaoyun and complained.

Mu Xiaoyun immediately blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ling Hong and Man Man.

On the other hand, Jiang Changxi still had her usual expression and calmly said, “You’re wrong. I’m helping you guys.”

“Heh.” Ling Hong obviously did not trust what she said.

Man Man looked at Jiang Changxi and asked doubtfully, “How are you helping us?”

“Simple. All of you must know that Boss Yuan is a Compass. If we all greeted him together, what if he gives us only one red packet?” Jiang Changxi patiently explained.

“That makes sense.” Man Man frowned.

“Of course that makes sense. Therefore, I and Xiaoyun greeted him first. Then, you guys can give your wishes one by one as well. This way, everyone will get a red packet,” said Jiang Changxi as she waved her red packet.

“True. Boss Yuan, I hope your business grows greatly in this brand new year, and may your cooking skills improve greatly as well.” Man Man was a business owner as well. Therefore, her greetings involved business.

“Idiot.” Looking at how lively Man Man was acting, Ling Hong face-palmed.

She had obviously been tricked by Jiang Changxi. Not only had she not realized that, she even did what Jiang Changxi told her to do.

“Same goes for you.” Yuan Zhou returned the greetings and handed her a red packet as well.

Of course, inside the red packet was still a meal ticket he had written himself.

“Boss Yuan, I don’t think you need any other greetings apart from mine.” After complaining about Man Man, Ling Hong couldn’t wait to say his greetings.

Yuan Zhou did not answer. He only looked at Ling Hong silently.

“May Boss Yuan find a girlfriend in this brand new year, to put this single life behind as soon as possible,” Ling Hong said with a rascally smile on his face.

Yuan Zhou did not bother replying. He only passed over a red packet to send Ling Hong away.

Even if he really wanted to look for a girlfriend, he should never mention it out loud like this. Yuan Zhou believed that he was still a low-profile person.

“Haha, I got a red packet as well.” Ling Hong immediately opened his red packet after receiving it.

“Ok. We won’t be disturbing you anymore, Boss Yuan. We’re leaving now.”

“Goodbye, Boss Yuan.”

“Goodbye, boss.”
