Chapter 897 - I Have Faith On Your Introduction (2/2)

Yuan Zhou blanked out when he heard the familiar voice. He asked, “Yes, Master Deng?”

“Master Yuan, if you know someone suitable and interested in learning our magic tricks, please do introduce that person to me.”

“Ok, will do,” Yuan Zhou agreed.

Master Deng smiled, “I have faith in anyone you might introduce.”

Right this moment, a taxi arrived. Yuan Zhou took his leave and got on the taxi. After giving the driver his address, the taxi sped off.

Yuan Zhou had arrived at around 8:00 pm, and after the performance ended, it was about 9:00 pm. And by the time he reached his restaurant, it was 9:40 pm.

The pub was still bustling. Yuan Zhou was planning to enter from the back door, but when he saw that the lights at the front of the restaurant were still on, he walked to the main street instead, preparing to enter through the front door.

“Is Zhou Jia still around?” Yuan Zhou wondered.

Yuan Zhou was aware that Zhou Jia had daily night classes. Since someone needed to be at the pub, Shen Min was definitely upstairs at the moment. If the lights were still on in front of the restaurant, that could only mean that Zhou Jia was still around.

Yuan Zhou started getting worried.

The moment he reached the door, Yuan Zhou looked over and saw a woman in uniform with a pair of black heels sitting with her back to the door.

“She’s not Zhou Jia,” Yuan Zhou judged.

Ta. Ta. Ta. Yuan Zhou stepped lightly, but the footsteps were still rather distinct in the silent restaurant. The woman turned around.

“Boss Yuan, you’re back.” The woman was Zhong Lili, holding a purse with her hand.

“You have been waiting here?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“I have just arrived. The chairman was worried that you might need this ancient text so he got me to immediately deliver it to you,” Zhong Lili said as she passed Yuan Zhou a wooden case.

“Thank you,” Yuan Zhou said as he accepted the case.

Yuan Zhou knew that Zhong Lili must have been waiting for a long time. Her arms had been resting on the table so long some red markings could be seen. Furthermore, it was already quite late.

But since Zhong Lili was downplaying it, Yuan Zhou did not say anything about it.

“You’re welcome. The chairman also said that this is a late Ming ancient text and you need to handle it with care,” Zhong Lili passed on Zhou Shijie’s message.

“Um, I know,” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“I’ll be leaving then,” Zhong Lili nodded and did not say anything else.

“Ok. Be careful on your way back,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Um,” Zhong Lili walked out of the restaurant.

Yuan Zhou put the case down and followed Zhong Lili out the restaurant. He watched on as Zhong Lili walked away under the moonlight and entered her car.
