Chapter 919 - Internet Crisis (1/2)

“Stop talking so much. Come down, it’s something good,” Yuan Zhou said, shutting Wu Hai’s grumbling mouth.

“Something good? Are you making something good for me to eat? Yes, I shall not walk away from this honor,” Wu Hai started running.

When Wu Hai reached, Yuan Zhou saw that he was still dressed in blue long sleeves shirt and a pair of sandals. His hair was somewhat long, yet his mustache was still trimmed neatly. He was gazing at Yuan Zhou expectantly.

“No new dishes, but you will get to eat free food,” Yuan Zhou said in deadly earnest.

“You will actually let me eat for free?” Wu Hai eyed Yuan Zhou suspiciously. It was obvious he did not trust those words.

One could not blame Wu Hai for this. Each time he ate Yuan Zhou’s food, he would have to either pay with cash or work hard for it. He had never enjoyed any free food from Yuan Zhou.

And thus, he was greatly suspicious of Yuan Zhou’s motive.

“There will be an event soon and two representatives are needed to judge the food of other restaurants. The representatives will have the right to voice their opinions,” Yuan Zhou gave a simple explanation.

“Right to voice my opinions? Do you mean I need to go eat at other restaurants and criticize their food?” Wu Hai asked.

“Not criticize. Just voice your opinions on their food. Moreover, you will only be required to visit one restaurant,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Sichuan Exemplary Restaurant, yes, I think I saw something about that before,” Wu Hai muttered to himself. Then, he concluded, “Since you have joined this event, you will definitely need to send your representatives as well.”

“Yeap.” Yuan Zhou nodded.

In truth, Yuan Zhou had no idea if Wu Hai would agree to this request. After all, Wu Hai had never eaten at other restaurants when Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was open.

Even if he had to attend some gatherings, he would first eat at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant before attending the gathering.

Yuan Zhou knew this very well.

“Sure, I’ll go. But you need two, right?” Wu Hai nodded without hesitation before asking.

Yuan Zhou was slightly astonished but he still answered, “Yes, two. I am planning to get Ling Hong to be my second representative. He should be free for now.”

“No Discount Ling? He can’t be a representative,” Wu Hai waved his hand, clearly looking down on Ling Hong when it came to eating.

He lamented that there were no expert eaters among the customers of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

Yuan Zhou did not say anything. He merely gazed at Wu Hai.

“I think Yu Chu is better. He did very well in information gathering for the website and he has done extensive research on eating,” Wu Hai suggested with a bizarre smile while rubbing his mustache.

“It will be very interesting if Yu Chu is the representative instead,” Wu Hai thought to himself.

“Does Yu Chu has the time for this?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“He will make the time for anything concerning you, Compass.” Wu Hai said. He added, “Moreover, you know his superior very well anyway. It won’t be a problem even if he needs to take leave from work to help you.”

Yuan Zhou ignored the part about the superior. He started seriously considering Yu Chu as a representative.

“I’ll talk to him when I see him during lunch,” Yuan Zhou nodded and accepted Wu Hai’s proposal.

“Ok,” Wu Hai nodded.

“Thank you.” Yuan Zhou thanked.

“Don’t worry about it. You are Compass, so I have to help you with this. But don’t forget me the next time you have some good food,” said Wu Hai righteously as he rubbed his mustache.

“Wait a bit,” Yuan Zhou paused slightly before saying.

“So you really have something nice?” Wu Hai’s interest was immediately piqued.

“I made something two days ago. But it’s something sweet,” Yuan Zhou said with a nod.

Wu Hai never liked eating sweet food, with the exception being Yuan Zhou’s sweet food. Of course, he still ate very little of them in comparison to spicy food.

“So what if it’s sweet? If it’s your food, I’ll eat it even if it’s bitter,” Wu Hai said as he slapped his chest, clearly intending to showcase his loyalty.

“Sure, I’ll make something bitter for you next time,” Yuan Zhou replied seriously.

“No, please, that was a joke. But why not we take a look at this sweet food you got?” Wu Hai surrendered.
