Chapter 948 - Abundance of Good News (2/2)

Yuan Zhou washed his hands in silence and ignored Wu Hai.

Wu Hai did not give up and continued staring at Yuan Zhou.

For a moment, the restaurant sank into silence. And with the silence, Yuan Zhou felt even more at ease. Still wearing his suit, he started doing what he could do for now.

For example, wiping the countertop.

“I’ll go upstairs to get changed,” said Yuan Zhou as he headed upstairs directly.

“Right, you’re wearing a suit today. That’s rare,” said Wu Hai as he was immediately reminded of that.

“I’m going up,” Yuan Zhou said, but he was already upstairs.

“He’s definitely going to take a bath. He loves cleanliness more than me,” muttered Wu Hai while rubbing his mustache.

Speaking of loving cleanliness, Wu Hai suddenly thought of a certain customer of the restaurant. This customer would come occasionally at no fixed schedule.

At times, the customer would come once per month while during other times, the customer would come once in three months. How did Wu Hai come to remember that customer? Simple.

That person would always bring along some cinnabar paint when coming to the restaurant and would be dressed in the color of lacquer as well. That attracted the attention of Wu Hai who was very sensitive toward colors.

And that customer behaved oddly as well. Apart from bringing some cinnabar paint each time, the customer would also bow to Yuan Zhou and the other customers after eating. That was a very odd behavior.

Of course, Wu Hai was more curious about the origin of the paint as the paint had a very sharp color, looking very pretty.

“I wonder what he does for a living,” wondered Wu Hai while rubbing his mustache.

“Excuse me, is Boss Yuan around?” asked a middle-aged man. He had arrived while Wu Hai was busy entertaining his random thoughts.

Wu Hai turned and saw two people entering the restaurant. And resting on the ground next to them was a bulky object wrapped in black cloth.

“Is there anything you need?” Wu Hai asked with a deadpan face.

“This is my master, Carpenter Lian. We are here today to deliver the cabinet,” said the middle-aged man.

“Boss Yuan is taking a shower upstairs. He will be here shortly,” said Wu Hai after nodding.

“Oh…” the middle-aged man had nothing else to say.

Right this moment, Yuan Zhou arrived downstairs in his Han attire.

“Carpenter Lian, you’re here?” Yuan Zhou quickly stepped forward and greeted.

“I just finished the cabinet today so here I am, delivering it,” said Carpenter Lian loudly.

“Thank you for your trouble,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Don’t worry about it. That was what we agreed upon after all,” said Carpenter Lian as he waved his hand indifferently. Then, he pointed at the cabinet wrapped in black cloth.

“It will definitely look good,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Master heard that you were receiving the award today, so he decided to send your cabinet here today,” said the middle-aged man while moving the cabinet.

The meaning behind his words were clear. Carpenter Lian had decided to deliver the cabinet today to congratulate Yuan Zhou on his award.

“You talk too much,” Carpenter Lian glared at the middle-aged man. Because of that, the middle-aged man lowered his head and stopped talking.

“You come at a good timing, Carpenter Lian. Eat here tonight. It will be on me,” Yuan Zhou did not have any words of gratitude to say but he offered a meal instead.

“Carpenter Lian, don’t refuse. You already agreed to this previously,” said Yuan Zhou when he saw that Carpenter Lian was about to refuse.

“Fine, I’ll stay behind. You can leave after moving the cabinet,” said Carpenter Lian as he pointed at the middle-aged man.

“Please, both of you must stay,” said Yuan Zhou seriously.

When Carpenter Lian saw how serious Yuan Zhou, he did not refuse and nodded in agreement. But he did not sit there doing nothing. He started ordering the middle-aged man around as he installed the cabinet.
