Chapter 717 - Rain (1/2)

Ta. Ta. Ta. Yuan Zhou put on his Han attire and walked down the stairs to reach the kitchen.

To make it easier to keep his phone, each of Yuan Zhou’s Han clothes had a pouch at the waist. That would be where his phone was kept.

“It’s getting late. I can start now.” Yuan Zhou looked outside the window of the kitchen and stood in the middle of the kitchen.

“Hold on.” Yuan Zhou was about to wash his hands when he stopped and quickly took out his phone instead.

“This is serious.” Yuan Zhou started checking his text messages.

After he went through his text messages, he did not find any new messages. After a frown, he sank into thought for a second before he started making a call.

He called 10086, the number that would forever have a “friendly” person speaking on the other end.

The call connected shortly. Yuan Zhou directly pressed zero to speak to a customer service representative.

“Hello, how can I help you?” a clear voice of a man sounded from the other side of the phone.

“Huh?” Yuan Zhou checked his phone to find that he got the correct number. He was somewhat curious as everyone else would be talking to gentle girls when they called but his call was answered by a man instead.

When the man repeated his question, Yuan Zhou reacted. He immediately spoke, “Sorry, I want to check my bill.”

“Ok. Is it about your monthly bill? Do you need it to be sent to you through text messages or do you prefer voice messages? Or perhaps you prefer to have both of them?” the man patiently asked.

“Text messages,” Yuan Zhou gave a simple and concise answer.

“The message has been sent to your phone. Do you need any other help?” the man asked his routine question.

“Will I be charged for answering a phone call from France?” Yuan Zhou calmly asked.

“When answering an overseas call from within the country, you won’t be billed. You can also receive overseas text messages for free,” the customer service answered seriously.

“How much will the caller be charged when using a local French number?’ Yuan Zhou asked again.

“This will depend on which telecom company the caller uses. Each telecom company has different rates,” the customer service replied.

“Ok. Thank you,” Yuan Zhou thanked.

After ending the call, Yuan Zhou gave the customer service guy a five-star review. Then, he hung up the call while the expression on his face eased up.

“Um. It’s free,” Yuan Zhou muttered while putting his phone into the drawer.

“Indeed, I am still the smarter one.” Yuan Zhou looked at his phone in satisfaction.

After dealing with his questions on the phone call, Yuan Zhou started focusing on preparing the ingredients. After completing the basic preparations on these ingredients, his cooking would be much faster later.

After done with the preparations, Yuan Zhou washed his hands again. He then opened the front door and waited for dinner time to arrive.

Creak. Boom! While Yuan Zhou was opening the door, a thunderclap sounded on the sky as the entire sky lit up.

“It’s going to rain?” Yuan Zhou frowned as he looked at the cloudy sky.

The customers queuing up outside all stopped talking and looked up at the sky as well.

“Hey, seems like it’s going to rain soon,” someone said.
