Chapter 802 - Yuan Zhous Care (2/2)

This got Jiang Changxi and Chen Wei confused. Yuan Zhou had already finished the noodles. How could he found out now?

Shortly after, the crew members were done putting their equipment away. They stared at the countertop expectantly only to see a completely bare countertop. Apart from a chopping board, everything else had been put away. It did not seem like Yuan Zhou was intending to cook more.

The crew members were all stunned at this sight. They stood behind the director, and since Xiao Longren was not willing to give up, he started gesturing at the director with his eyes.

He was gesturing to the director to quickly tell Boss Yuan that they were hungry.

Da Hai was somewhat nervous when he saw that Yuan Zhou was resting and no additional ingredients had been prepared.

But when he thought of the appearance of the Steamed Cold Noodles earlier and smelled the lingering aroma in the air, he steadied his heart and stepped forth before saying, “Boss Yuan, we have already finished putting away the equipment. We are still very hungry so we will be taking our leave now.”

Da Hai was a person who relied on his talents to make his living. He wasn’t a young man either. He was a middle-aged man that knew the ways of the society. A man like him would usually speak tactfully.

Therefore, taking his leave, he was also telling Yuan Zhou that they were hungry. What he truly meant was that since they were done with business, shouldn’t Yuan Zhou treat them to a meal now?

Of course, those words should remain unspoken. After all, there was no official agreement that Yuan Zhou needed to treat them to a meal. They were all paid their due for the work here, and even their transportation fees had been accounted for.

Treating the crew to a meal after filming was merely a common courtesy.

“Our job is so hard. It’s nearly 10 at night and we have yet to eat our dinner.”

“Thank you, everyone, for your hard work. Be careful on your way back and stay safe,” Yuan Zhou stood up and advised in a concerned manner, “By the way, since it’s already so late, remember to eat some porridge before you take any solid food. Don’t eat anything that is too spicy as well.”

Yuan Zhou was behaving exactly like he was telling them to leave.

Of course, Yuan Zhou was feeling somewhat ashamed inwardly. He had initially thought that a promotional video filming would only take 10 minutes. Yet he had accidentally made too many noodles and therefore, the filming was extended for more than 10 minutes just filming him eating. Even their dinner time was delayed because of this.

That was why Yuan Zhou had gone out of his way to advise them to not eat spicy food so late at night.

Inwardly, Yuan Zhou was praising their professionalism and dedication to their job, to the point they neglected dinner.

Da Hai, “…”

“I…” Xiao Longren who was a straightforward person was somewhat confused. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Bai Li.

“Oh, don’t worry. Thank you, Boss Yuan. We will be leaving now,” Da Hai answered, still somewhat dazed.

“See you,” Yuan Zhou nodded and watched on as they left.

The crew members were completely confused, especially Da Hai. “Why isn’t Boss Yuan doing what everyone else will do?”

Based on Da Hai’s societal experience, in that situation, Yuan Zhou should have persuaded them to stay behind. And then, they would exchange some pleasantries before the crew ultimately settled with eating at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

But now, something entirely different was happening? Da Hai turned around and looked at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, still puzzled.

Meanwhile, Fang Heng who had long prepared himself initiated his attack. As a hungry tiger pouncing on a lamb, he charged at the countertop and as nimble as the monkey stealing the peach, his hand reached towards the chopping board.

That’s right. Fang Heng was aiming for the tiny strains of Steamed Cold Noodles leftover on the chopping board.
