Chapter 884 - Sun Mings Arrival (2/2)

“You’re welcome. Will do,” Yuan Zhou replied.

“Ok. I’ll be sure to get that kid to apologize to you,” Cao Zhishu said.

“No need for the trouble,” Yuan Zhou shook his head and said seriously.

“Head Chef Yuan has a big heart, but we still have to abide by proper etiquette,” Cao Zhishu said.

“You’re too polite,” Yuan Zhou replied, knowing he would not be able to change Cao Zhishu’s mind.

While talking politely, they walked out of the restaurant.

“Alright, you can stop sending me off here. I will be leaving. Since there is nobody watching over your restaurant, don’t bother sending me further,” Cao Zhishu said with a wave of his hand.

“Ok. See you, Head Chef Cao,” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“We’ll have tea next time,” Cao Zhishu said as he walked away.

Yuan Zhou did not reply. He nodded and stood there until Cao Zhishu left the street before he went back into the restaurant.

“The amount of courteous words I have spoken today is probably equivalent to the total amount I would normally speak in a year,” Yuan Zhou muttered.

Yuan Zhou was never one who enjoyed speaking courteous words. But due to the incident with Little Zhao, Cao Zhishu apologized repeatedly, forcing Yuan Zhou to keep speaking those courteous words.

“It’s not tiring to cook, but talking sure is tiring. Good thing it’s over,” Yuan Zhou said. Socializing was indeed very tiring.

Clink. Clank.

Yuan Zhou started cleaning up the table and the countertop used earlier.

Due to the incident with Little Zhao, the exchange today ended early. It was not even 4:00 pm yet. Of course, there was no time left for Yuan Zhou to sharpen knives. Therefore, he decided to practice sculpting for a bit.

Right at this moment, a familiar voice sounded outside the restaurant.

“Compass, you are cleaning again? I see you are busy every single day. Why don’t you hire more people?” Sun Ming walked in and teased when he saw Yuan Zhou wiping the countertop.

“Sun, you’re here,” Yuan Zhou spoke in a familiar tone, directly calling him by his nickname, just like how Sun Ming was calling him Compass.

“Compass, this is very unfriendly of you. I am here visiting you but why are you calling me names?” Sun Ming continued teasing.

“Visiting?” Yuan Zhou stared at Sun Ming’s empty hands.

What he meant was obvious. He was doubting Sun Ming’s words since he had came empty-handed.

“You are a restaurant boss and you have everything you need. And anything you don’t need, there’s no point in me gifting them to you anyway. But I have been here for a bit, why haven’t you welcomed my arrival yet?” replied Sun Ming. He was a person who was well-trained in the art of shameless. Therefore, he would never feel embarrassed. He immediately turned the situation around and started picking on Yuan Zhou instead.

“I already greeted you,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Can that even be considered a welcome?” Sun Ming said resentfully.

“Sure, the next time your goddess…” Yuan Zhou started speaking indifferently and calmly.

“No, please, I got it. There’s no need to welcome me. We are such close friends anyway,” Sun Ming quickly waved his hands. His goddess was his fatal weakness.

“It is not business time yet,” Yuan Zhou gave Sun Ming a kind reminder. It was impossible for him to get a free meal.
