It was a starless moonlit night. Ling Hong and Grandpa Jia stood at the street corner, talking and laughing.

“Grandfather Jia, I drank some liquor just now. So I will have to trouble you to drive me back home,” Ling Hong said proactively.

“No problem,” Grandpa Jia agreed directly.

“But now that I call you Grandfather Jia, I won’t be paying you,” Ling Hong said smilingly while getting seated on the passenger seat nimbly.

“Haha. What a coincidence! I never charge my grandson.” Grandpa Jia laughed straightforwardly.

“That’s perfect. I can save some money.” Ling Hong got seated steadily.

“Where are you going?” Grandpa Jia got on the tricycle and asked.

“Purplevine Garden.” Ling Hong reported the location where he lived.

That’s right. Ling Hong didn’t live together with his grandpa, which Grandpa Jia also knew. After all, he and Ling Little Six had maintained contact frequently recently.

“Alright. Let’s go.” Grandpa Jia powered on the tricycle and started to move.

Neither of them mentioned Ling Hong’s car in the parking lot. They just headed for Ling Hong’s dwelling while talking enthusiastically.

“Grandfather Jia, I will treat you to dinner some other day. After all, I haven’t shown you any filial respect after I recognized you as my grandfather.” Ling Hong took advantage of the heated atmosphere and invited him conveniently.

“No problem. Ling Little Six owes me a meal and so do you now. I don’t need to spend my own money in Boss Yuan’s restaurant this month.” Grandpa Jia answered with a big smile.

“Did my grandfather also owe you a meal? He’s quite stingy and has never even invited me to any meal.” Ling Hong complained. Though his grandfather was in a high position, his old habit of thriftiness has never changed.

“Exactly. The other day, he also told me he would treat me to dinner,” Grandpa Jia said, “But till now, I still don’t know when this day will arrive.”

“Alright. Let me treat you first. I’m more generous than my grandfather,” Ling Hong patted on his chest and said.

“You are definitely generous.” Grandpa Jia nodded his head approvingly. As the famous No Discount Ling in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, he was known by everybody.

Ling Hong suddenly asked, “Speaking of which I still don’t know when is your birthday.”

“It’s on July 6th, lunar calendar,” said Grandpa Jia.

Ling Hong then asked with puzzlement, “As far as I can remember, my grandfather once mentioned that your birthday is in November.”

Grandpa Jia said, “It was once in November. But I was bored of the date, so I change to another one to celebrate.”

Though he said that casually, Ling Hong could feel the date of July 6th seemed to be a little special to him. He decided to go to ask his grandfather.

Just like that, they talked and moved at full speed on the streets of Chengdu.

Time passed quickly at night. The competition for the Exemplary Restaurant was to start three days later. The organizer had already confirmed the activity scheme as well. Now, there was only one problem left.

The chief planner of the entire activity had participated in this activity three times. In other words, he was responsible for this activity from the very beginning. The man surnamed Gu and in his forties. A man with experience, abilities, and ideas.

Director Gu was sitting in his own office and leafing through the overall process of the activity when there was a knock on the door.

“Kou Kou”

“Come on in,” Director Gu said loudly.

It was his assistant Little Guo, who had a pretty face and had her wavy long hair tied neatly behind, appearing energetic. As soon as she saw Director Gu, she said straightforwardly.

“Director Gu, we have confirmed with Mr. Bai. Do you need to make the final confirmation or else?” The assistant Little Guo asked.

“What did Popular Mouth Lee say?” Director Gu knitted his brows and then asked.
