Ta. Ta. Ta. Yuan Zhou walked, his footsteps crisp and clear with the leather shoes he was wearing, giving off a professional look.

This place was, in fact, a village within the city of Chengdu. The environment was rather poor, and the buildings along the street were in worse condition compared to the buildings at Taoxi Road. The buildings were comparatively shorter as well.

At Taoxi Road, there were still seven-floor old-style residential buildings. Yet here, most of the buildings were old-style brick and tile buildings, with the doors facing each other. As for the unit number, only dark spots were left and the numbers could no longer be seen clearly.

But Yuan Zhou seemed familiar with this place. Without checking the unit numbers, he directly headed toward a certain direction.

When he reached a crossing, a tiny house laid before him. The door of this house was an old wooden door. A padlock hung on it.

At present, the padlock was unlocked, showing that someone was inside the house.

“Luckily, I arrived in time,” Yuan Zhou muttered before he knocked on the door.

Thud. Thud. Yuan Zhou knocked in a tempo that was slow yet clear.

“Who is it?” asked an old voice from inside the house.

“Yuan Zhou,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Boss Yuan?” the voice replied before the door was opened, revealing the granny that always set up a stall in front of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

That was the same granny that would always help Yuan Zhou swept the floor every morning, also the same granny that had gone to Mount Qingcheng to pray for Yuan Zhou when she heard about the Exemplary Restaurant Selection.

“Yes granny, it’s me,” said Yuan Zhou with a nod.

“Why are you here, Boss Yuan? Come, have a seat,” said the granny cheerfully.

“It’s fine. I’m only here to tell you something,” said Yuan Zhou gently.

“What can I help you with? Just tell me,” said the granny with a nod.

“You see, thanks to your good luck charm, my restaurant won the award,” said Yuan Zhou.

“You won? That’s good news! Boss Yuan, with how amazing you are, the win is only natural,” said the granny while waving her hands repeatedly.

“That’s all thanks to your good luck charm. One particular restaurant had really close grades with me, but I eventually won. Thank you,” said Yuan Zhou seriously.

In truth, Yuan Zhou was making that up. He got 39.5 points in total, only 0.5 away from full marks. And the 0.5 was only deducted because Hu Yue was still hungry after the meal.

As for the restaurant in the second place, it only got 37 points. A difference of two points caused Yuan Zhou’s victory to be a firm one.

Yuan Zhou rarely lied, but he was able to lie with a deadly earnest face.

“We really need to thank the heavens for the blessing then. Thank the heavens, thank the heavens,” the granny immediately put her palms together in a pious manner and thanked the sky when she heard Yuan Zhou’s words.

“Therefore, I am thinking of hanging this thing here,” said Yuan Zhou as he handed over the wooden case to her.

“What is this?” asked the granny, confused.

“Open it and take a look,” said Yuan Zhou.

Whoosh. The granny nodded and opened the case.

The pennant was neatly folded, with the words “Exemplary Restaurant” on top. The granny immediately understood and shut the case and tried returning it to Yuan Zhou but was rejected.

“Don’t be in a hurry. This award is given once per year. I am a greedy person and want to get another one next year. Therefore, I will keep this one here so you can take care of it for me,” said Yuan Zhou.

“No way, no way. How can you give this to me? No way,” the granny shook her head repeatedly and resolutely refused.

“But I only won because of your good luck charm. See, I have it on me at all times,” said Yuan Zhou as he opened a button and revealed the good luck charm hanging on his neck.
