Yuanzhou sighed silently in his heart and let his thoughts go. Then he stopped thinking and prepared the meal seriously.
After a while, the meals for Li Jing and her best friend Yuan Er were ready.
This time, Yuan Zhou served it himself.
"Please take your time with your food." Yuan Zhou put down his food and was as polite as ever, but not gentle.
"Wow, Yuan'er, the chef, is so manly." Li Jing saw Yuan Zhou turn around, and then secretly said in Yuan'er's ear.
His tone was full of ridicule.
"A Jing! Why are you talking nonsense again?" Yuan'er pinched Li Jing lightly in dissatisfaction.
"He's really handsome, but he looks familiar." Li Jing was a little confused.
"Okay, so much food can't stop your mouth. We still have things to do after eating. We've been looking forward to it for a long time," Yuan'er said, pointing to the table full of delicious food.
"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, I'm really looking forward to it." Li Jing now turned her attention to the dining table and began to look forward to the delicious food.
"Yeah, let's eat." Yuan Er nodded.
Now the two of them started to eat.
The first thing Li Jing started eating was naturally the egg fried rice set.
"There are no eggs, not even chopped green onions. The color is still golden. I don't know if it tastes good or not." Li Jing was a little confused, but after looking for it for so long, she would definitely eat it.
Scoop up a spoonful and put it into your mouth.
"Yeah, it's delicious." Li Jing's eyes lit up instantly and she praised.
Then there was a gust of speed, and the same was true for Yuan Er on the side.
The two beauties quickly ate the meal prepared by Yuan Zhou with a look of satisfaction on their faces.
During this period, I would savor it carefully from time to time and let out a small voice of admiration.
"Yuan'er, this Dongpo pork elbow is super delicious. Try it. Don't just go vegetarian." Li Jing generously gave some to Yuan'er.
Girls always like to share delicious food with their friends, so the two started feeding each other.
Yuan Zhou, who was cooking on the side, would look over there from time to time.
There was a strange look in his eyes, more of a nostalgia, but it didn't look like he was missing a person, it was like he was missing a period of time.
Li Jing and Yuan Er were like ordinary diners, eating and leaving without Yuan Zhou saying a word.
He didn't remind Li Jing that they knew each other and were former classmates.
Even if Li Jing seems to be far away, maybe she will never be seen again.
Yuan Zhou can go up to talk and tell what's on his mind. After all, invitation cards are precious. But Yuan Zhou didn't do this. Maybe Li Jing wouldn't remember such a classmate in her heart, or know that there was such a person who had a crush on her.
But, this is what Yuan Zhou wants. It's my business that I like you, you don't need to know.
Just like now, Yuanzhou wants to see Li Jing and say goodbye to his student days, and Li Jing doesn't need to know.
After the two left, Yuan Zhou looked at Li Jing's leaving figure in trance, but he returned to normal in an instant.
Maybe Yuan Zhou doesn't like Li Jing, he just likes the feeling of having a crush on someone.
I regained my composure and completed the lunch business hours as usual.
After a while, Zhou Jia wiped the tables and chairs, washed the rags, and dried them.
Then he turned to Yuan Zhou, who had been slacking off since just now, and said, "Boss, I'm leaving first. See you in the evening."
"Well, goodbye." Yuan Zhou said habitually.
"Goodbye." Zhou Jia nodded seriously, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, you don't have to come at night." Yuan Zhou said suddenly.
"Ah? Why?" Zhou Jia asked in surprise.
Then she started thinking about what she had done wrong and why Boss Yuan suddenly didn't want her to come to work.
His whole expression and nerves were tense.
"What I mean is that I have something to do in the evening, so I won't open the door, and my salary will remain the same." Yuan Zhou realized after seeing Zhou Jia's shocked face, and then explained.
"Do I need to write a leave request?" Zhou Jia breathed a sigh of relief and then asked calmly.
"No, I'll do it myself." Yuan Zhou frowned and thought for a moment, then refused.
"Then boss, I'll leave first." Zhou Jia knew that his boss's decision would not be changed, so he simply left.
"Well, go ahead and don't be late tomorrow." Yuan Zhou warned as usual.
After Zhou Jia was out of sight, Yuan Zhou went upstairs and took out a blank A4 paper, preparing to write down the reasons for asking for leave.
Just kidding, as a boss with integrity and principles, he will give reasonable reasons every time he asks for leave.
"Yes, this holiday is good, you should take a rest." Yuan Zhou carefully looked through the festivals of each country on this day, and then selected one at a glance.
The tip of the pen made contact with the paper, making a "swish, swish, swish" sound, and I saw the reason for leave neatly written on the A4 paper.
[As today is International Journalists’ Day, we are taking a half-day break to show respect for all journalists.
In addition, diners will be compensated for the evening barbecue, which is from midnight to two in the morning. ]
The signature was naturally Yuan Zhou's. This time he also added a special sentence, the final interpretation right belongs to our store.
Yuanzhou has always believed that this sentence is very principled and very consistent with his taste.
"Okay, now it's time to find someone." Yuan Zhou looked at the leave request note on the table with satisfaction, took out his cell phone and muttered to himself.
"Who should I look for?" Yuan Zhou looked through the address book on his phone, feeling worried.
Yuan Zhou's personality does not like interpersonal communication, and he feels like he is playing with himself, so there are really not many people on the phone.
"Sun Ming definitely can't open a store. KFC is working at this time." Yuan Zhou looked through it and ruled it out.
Then I clicked on a person I had only contacted once, Jiang Changxi.
"Is this the phone number I left for Shen Min last time?" Yuan Zhou thought about it carefully.
Thinking of Shen Min, Yuanzhou remembered that Jiang Changxi seemed to be picked up by the same taxi every time she came here, so she must be familiar with him.
Thinking of Jiang Changxi's usual teasing, Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment before making a call.
The phone was answered very quickly, as soon as it rang.
But before Yuan Zhou could speak, Jiang Changxi spoke first with a smile.
"Xike, you called me because you planned to come to my house to try out the mattress?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, we have something serious to do." Yuan Zhou tried his best to keep a straight face and make his tone more serious.
"Oh, Boss Yuan probably wants me to pick up the little girl again, it's daytime now." Jiang Changxi's tone was clear and teasing.
"No, I want to ask the taxi driver you know well to take me to Meishan and come back before ten o'clock in the evening." Yuan Zhou quickly stated his purpose to avoid being teased again.
"This matter?" Jiang Changxi's voice was a little surprised.
"Well, that's it." Yuan Zhou nodded involuntarily while holding the phone.
"If you don't mind my presence, I can help." Jiang Changxi asked without hesitation.
"Are you going to Meishan too?" Yuanzhou guessed, not thinking that Jiang Changxi was accompanying him.
"Well, I just need to get something." Jiang Changxi was very serious when talking about urgent matters.
"I don't mind, but I need to leave right away." Yuanzhou thought for a while and felt that carpooling was no problem.
"Okay, we'll pick you up at the store now." Jiang Changxi said and then hung up the phone.
"It actually hung up faster than me. Fortunately, it was me who called." Yuan Zhou looked at the hung up call and felt lucky.
Since he needed to go out immediately, Yuanzhou picked up the leave request and walked to the door, looked around, then took out the glued paper and stuck it directly on the door.
"It's done." After posting it, Yuan Zhou quickly pulled down the door, as fast as if he had practiced it, and then said easily after closing it.
On the other side, Jiang Changxi directly asked Master Bai to head towards Yuanzhou's shop.
