Yuan Zhou started doing this after that one time when he encountered an old man at the trash dump station at the end of the street.

One ought to know that in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, only the most tender and freshest part of many ingredients would be used, resulting in a large number of leftover ingredients. For example, only the middle part of the watermelon would be used for the Watermelon Juice and all the other parts would be disposed of by the system.

In order to stop the system from disposing of the leftover ingredients and obtain permission to take these ingredients out of the restaurant, Yuan Zhou had paid a large price in the form of an extremely difficult side mission.

The difficult side mission would be mentioned at another time. Presently, Yuan Zhou carried the bag of trash and placed it on the rubbish bin.

“This spot should do it,” muttered Yuan Zhou after looking at the spot he had chosen before turning and leaving.

With wide strides, he returned to the restaurant. When leaving, Yuan Zhou would usually not close the door. With the security provided by the system, nobody would be able to steal anything from the restaurant.

Moreover, there were many neighbors and stalls around. When Yuan Zhou was not around, strangers would not have the chance to even enter the restaurant.

As the saying goes, a relative afar is less useful than a close neighbor. Of course, this saying would have to exclude the neighbor who had the habit of sleeping with their neighbor’s wife.

Dinnertime.

This was a special evening at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Zhuang Xinmu and Wu Zhou who hadn’t been here for a very long time had arrived.

It had been a very long time since the two came. And this was a special evening because Zhuang Xinmu had gotten pregnant. Wu Zhou was going to be a father soon.

That’s right. This couple that enjoyed showing off their affection at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had gotten married and created a new life.

And perhaps due to coincidence, Ling Hong, the Wei Wei father and daughter pair, Sister Wan, the rickshaw grandpa, and Chen Wei were all there.

“Wu Zhou, you have been working hard,” said Chen Wei as he gave Wu Zhou a thumbs up.

“Not only is he hardworking, he has good marksmanship as well. That is a fatal combination,” said Ling Hong. At times, he would trash talk as well.

The other customers started joining in as well. This was one of the good parts of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Even for people who were not familiar with the others, it was very easy for one to blend in with the others and join in on the fun.

Zhuang Xinmu was feeling embarrassed, her face flushed red. When Wu Zhou saw the blushing face, he immediately understood what to do.

Wu Zhou spoke loudly, “Alright, alright. That’s enough. There are women here. Please, mind your manners.”

“Women? Mind our manners? Wu Zhou, you have to be grateful that Jiang Changxi is not here. She would not be as pure as us,” said Ling Hong.

When Wu Zhou pictured what Ling Hong said, he immediately shivered. Nobody was Queen Jiang’s match when it came to teasing.

“Speaking of which, why is Sister Jiang not here today?” Wu Zhou quickly spoke, trying to shift the topic.

“How will I know the whereabouts of Jiang Changxi. You need to ask Boss Yuan,” Ling Hong tossed the ball at the court of Yuan Zhou who was eavesdropping while cooking.

“She went to the award ceremony of Top Ten Chinese Young Entrepreneurs,” Yuan Zhou easily gave an answer.

Zhuang Xinmu was unsure of what award that was. When he saw Wu Zhou’s eyes lit up, she asked him in whispers.

“The Top Ten Chinese Young Entrepreneur is a very distinguished award,” Wu Zhou explained. “I once paid attention to this award. Those nominated are all people who are greatly successful in life.”

Alas, Wu Zhou wasn’t too good at narrating. He used a lot of words to expound upon Zhuang Xinmu the significance of this award.

“Sister Jiang is one of the top 10?” Wu Zhou asked and answered the question himself, “Then again, that’s understandable. We are in the same age bracket yet Sister Jiang is really very accomplished.”

Listening to Wu Zhou’s explanation, Jiang Changxi was indeed quite accomplished. Zhuang Xinmu nodded in agreement.

“She is the chairperson of the selection committee. She’s there to present the award,” Yuan Zhou added leisurely.

“Chairperson of the selection committee?” Wu Zhou blanked out.
