Chapter 794 - A Chef Who Has His Bottom Line (1/2)

“Boss Yuan, you are not going to ask for leave again, are you?” Ling Hong looked at Yuan Zhou and asked him.

“I also wanted to ask that. Boss Yuan, you won’t ask for leave again, right?”

“Please don’t do that. I don’t want to see Boss Yuan leave again.”

Ling Hong’s words were like a signal starting a discussion. Everybody there joined the discussion whether they had finished the meal or not.

“Boss Yuan, please look into my sincere eyes. I think we can discuss about this matter. What about cooking only breakfast and leaving lunch and dinner alone?”

“Nooooo. If I can’t see Boss Yuan here, I can’t eat anything, either. Boss Yuan, do you really hope for me to become slimmer?”

In an instant, Yuan Zhou was directly surrounded by various questions from the customers. Even Zhou Jia was looking at Yuan Zhou with an expectant look on her face.

“Ahem ahem.” Yuan Zhou took off the face mask once in a blue moon and pretended to cough. Only then did he speak seriously.

“No, I won’t ask for leave this time. I think even Chairman wouldn’t agree,” Looking at the people who were discussing outside, Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

After all, Yuan Zhou could hear their conversation outside the door. With his sensitive senses, he had no way not to hear that.

“Really? Are you serious?” The customers all emitted a sound of disbelief.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“I think Boss Yuan is right.” Ling Hong affirmed what Yuan Zhou said first this time.

“Zhou Jia, continue with your work,” Yuan Zhou suddenly said to Zhou Jia beside him.

“Oh, okay. Sir, what do you want to eat today?” Zhou Jia immediately reacted and continued taking orders.

Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou put on his face mask again and then went back to the kitchen to cook.

“No-discount Ling, how do you know that old man won’t agree with Steamed Bun Ji?” A long-haired pretty girl at the side looked at Ling Hong and asked.

When Ling Hong turned around and found it was a pretty girl, he immediately said gently, “Obviously it is because they don’t get along well with each other.”

“They don’t?” The long-haired pretty girl took a look at the three people outside and felt a little puzzled.

“Of course. It would be strange if a person that cooks dishes and the other that makes snacks can get along well, let alone that Chairman Zhou didn’t look delighted as soon as he arrived. However, he definitely will agree to be in the video,” Ling Hong said affirmatively.

Then, the pretty girl became more puzzled and even some other customers that heard him revealed a puzzled look, too. Of course, there were also some customers who seemed to be clear about the reason.

“It’s very simple. Because this matter is actually good for Boss Yuan. As an activity promoted by the Alliance of Cooked Wheaten Food Masters, it’s a kind of prestige. And that Chairman Zhou will not refuse a matter that is good for Boss Yuan,” Ling Hong shrugged and said.

“I see. If it’s good for him, Boss Yuan had better be in the video,” the long-haired pretty girl thought for a while and then said hesitantly.

The customers at the side also behaved as if they had made a big decision. They said, “Right. If it is good for Boss Yuan, he better be in the video. Anyway, it will only take one day.”

“If worse comes to worst, I won’t eat on that day. After all, even during normal times, I don’t come every day since I don’t have so much money.”

“I will just take it as an opportunity to lose weight.” It was the slim girl who had said that she couldn’t eat anything if she didn’t see Yuan Zhou.

Many customers looked at Yuan Zhou and then at the delicacies in front of them when they heard Ling Hong’s analysis and they all felt it was better for Yuan Zhou to agree.

All their discussions were heard by Yuan Zhou. It was rare for him to stop and turn around to look at the customers in the restaurant, “A promise is a promise. If I say I won’t ask for leave, I won’t. I’m a chef who has a bottom line.”

The customers in the restaurant all fell silent for a while. Yuan Zhou said that so seriously that they almost believed him.

The long-haired pretty girl that had asked questions just now said first, “It doesn’t matter, Boss Yuan. You can go to participate in the video.”

“Nothing will be delayed whether or not I enter the video,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show his gratitude at their kindness before he said that.
