“This is nice,” Yuan Zhou did not turn around. Rather, he smiled and muttered to himself before heading toward his restaurant.

In a suit, Yuan Zhou’s back was perfectly straight while he walked leisurely. On his way, many pedestrians would greet him.

“What are you doing all dressed up today, Boss Yuan?” asked someone from a store beside the street.

“Just taking a stroll,” Yuan Zhou did not say that he had received an award tonight.

In Yuan Zhou’s opinion, he was a humble man who did not enjoy showing off. Therefore, there was no need for him to brag about his award.

“Is Boss Yuan going on a blind date? Boss Yuan is quite popular nowadays,” teased a middle-aged woman with a laugh.

“Nope,” Yuan Zhou said without a shift in his expression.

“If you have your eyes on anyone, don’t be shy about it. Let us know and we will help you out,” said someone else.

All those people were basically the people from the restaurant’s surroundings. Even Fatty Wang from the hardware store had joined in on the fun. With a smile on his face, he urged Yuan Zhou to quickly get a wife.

“Spring is almost over, right? Why do I feel like a second spring is arriving?” Yuan Zhou had a calm expression, yet his heart was quite anxious.

“Perhaps the girlfriend my parents found for me is going to appear?” Yuan Zhou started imagining the appearance of his future girlfriend.

He started thinking about how they should interact in the future, and how he should change his schedule when he got a girlfriend.

And next, well, there was no next. After all, there was a limit to the imagination of a person who had never been in a relationship before in terms of life with a girlfriend.

“Should I do my research on those relationship games to prepare myself for when I get a girlfriend?” Yuan Zhou considered this seriously.

As Yuan Zhou thought about all those random thoughts, he arrived at his restaurant.

“How is it, Compass? Where’s the pennant?” Wu Hai asked curiously from upstairs while rubbing his mustache.

“I hung it,” Yuan Zhou answered after a slight pause.

“Hung? Did you enter from the back door again? I did not notice you,” asked Wu Hai with a frown.

“Not in my restaurant. Somewhere else,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Somewhere else? Are you not the winner? This competition is rigged! Even the official website has already declared you as the winner yet they gave the award to someone else? Who got it?” Wu Hai said before rushing downstairs in his sandals.

He looked like he was about to go demolish the award recipient.

Ta. Ta. Ta. Wu Hai arrived before Yuan Zhou and stared at Yuan Zhou solemnly.

“I hung it at the granny’s house,” Yuan Zhou explained slowly.

“Holy sh*t. Couldn’t you say that earlier? You gave me a fright. I thought the competition was rigged or something,” said Wu Hai as he finally lowered his raised arms.

“You came down before I could finish my words,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Forget it. I now remember how infuriating it is talking to you. I won’t bother bickering with you,” said Wu Hai while stroking his mustache with a generous expression on his face.

“I’m going to open the restaurant,” said Yuan Zhou as he slowly turned around. He couldn’t be bothered to bicker with Wu Hai as well.

“You sure are generous, Compass. Giving away the symbol of glory just like that,” said Wu Hai while walking in circles around Yuan Zhou.

“You’re pretty generous too. Your paintings are expensive,” said Yuan Zhou as he opened the door and pointed at the two paintings on the ceiling.

“Of course. That was me being unmoved by money,” Wu Hai boasted. He added, “A painting will be worth the world if people like it. If nobody likes it, the painting will be worthless.”

“Yes, you’re the noblest,” Yuan Zhou agreed so he could get to his work sooner.

“Although you are still the same Compass, you have finally smartened up today. That’s right. I am that noble,” said Wu Hai as he continued circling Yuan Zhou before stopping and rubbing his mustache smugly.

“Hoho,” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but look at Wu Hai in disdain before entering the kitchen to prepare for dinner.

“What is the meaning of that, Compass? Did I say anything wrong?” Wu Hai stepped forward and asked.
