Chapter 1419: A man’s way

Although Yuan Zhou stated his condition coldly, ruan Xiaoqing still nodded her head hard and revealed a smile,””Boss Yuan, you are too gentle.”

Apart from Yin ya, Yuan Zhou’s gentleness was felt by ruan Xiaoqing the most. Ruan Xiaoqing had seen it and remembered it in her heart.

“I’m running. ”

Only after ruan Xiaoqing left did Yuan Zhou start to run again.

As per Yuan Zhou’s request, ruan Xiaoqing took some time to come for breakfast. However, she still looked exhausted. Her lips even looked paler after she wiped off her lipstick during the meal.

Seeing that, Ling Hong became anxious in his heart, but he didn’t dare to show it on his face.

That was because ruan Xiaoqing had become even colder when he greeted her today. There was usually some faint warmth, but it had all disappeared today.

Ling Hong was very nervous. However, ruan Xiaoqing left quickly after breakfast and didn’t give Ling Hong a chance to speak.

Looking at Ling Hong’s puzzled expression, Yuan Zhou put down the bowl of noodles in his hand and raised his head,””You’ll be coming to the afternoon meeting, right?”

“Are you talking about the evaluation site?” Ling Hong was stunned for a while and then asked.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Of course I will.” Ling Hong said affirmatively.

“See you in the afternoon.” Yuan Zhou said.

“I might be here at noon.” Ling Hong said with a smile.

“No, she won’t be here at noon.” Yuan Zhou said with a hidden meaning.

“Alright, then I’ll stay in the office and work hard.” Ling Hong shrugged his shoulders and said in a seemingly carefree manner.

“See you in the afternoon.” After saying that, Yuan Zhou turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking the noodles.

Ling Hong then turned around and left the restaurant.

Just as Yuan Zhou had predicted, he told Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing in advance that they wouldn’t be here at noon. As expected, neither of them came at noon.

As soon as the lunchtime ended, Wu Hai and Jiang Changxi didn’t leave immediately but stayed in the restaurant.

“Compass, we’ll wait for you upstairs. You have to come quickly.” Jiang Changxi said with a smile.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Do you need some snacks for the meeting?” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches solemnly and suggested primly.

“There’s no need for serious business. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“You just finished your meal.” Jiang Changxi reminded him.

“I know. That’s why I’m talking about desserts.” Wu Hai nodded his head and said matter-of-factly.

“There’s nothing to eat. Didn’t Zheng Jiawei prepare some tea?” Jiang Changxi said.

“What’s so good about bitter?” Wu Hai muttered to himself. Suddenly, he looked at Yuan Zhou with his eyes shining and said,””The refreshments from the last Tea Party were very good. There must be refreshments when drinking tea.”

“You can’t take the food out of the store.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the wall behind Wu Hai and then turned around to go upstairs to wash up.

“Um …” Wu Hai became speechless at once when he heard that. Since it was a rule, Wu Hai knew that his dream of eating tea and snacks was shattered. Thus, he also turned around and walked out of the shop.

Jiang Changxi also walked out of the store with a smile.

As for Yuan Zhou, he had already gone straight to the bathroom to wash up and change his clothes. After all, he had a meeting later and naturally had to change his clothes. Yuan Zhou was sure that he didn’t change his clothes just because Yin ya would come later.

As for why he changed into three sets of clothes upstairs, it was purely because he wanted to find clothes that were more comfortable.

Yuan Zhou patted the hems of the narrow-sleeved Han Chinese traditional clothing and looked at the spotless cloth shoes gifted by Yin ya on his feet. Then, he nodded his head to the person in the mirror contentedly and went downstairs.

He walked to the kitchen, opened the partition, and walked straight to Wu Hai’s art studio.

Wu Hai lived on the second floor. When he pushed the door open and entered, he found that the easel had been replaced by the sofa and the coffee table. And everyone had arrived.

The few of them sat around the coffee table with their own teacups on it. They were all sitting comfortably on the sofa, not looking very formal.

Actually, there weren’t many people here. They were just several senior figures of the queuing Committee, including Jiang Changxi, Yu Chu, Wu Hai, Zheng Jiawei, Ling Hong, Yin ya, and Yuan Zhou who had just entered the restaurant.

These people were also the main people in charge of Yuan Zhou’s evaluation website.

The main purpose of the meeting today was to confirm the future development of the evaluation site.

The reason was that after Yuan Zhou became more and more famous, many stores began to take the initiative to request the website to review their stores.

In fact, they had already discussed this matter on WeChat. This meeting was just to confirm it. Therefore, after talking about this matter, the few of them mainly talked for a while and parted ways after an hour and a half.

After the meeting was over, Jiang Changxi left with Yu Chu, while Zheng Jiawei and Wu Hai stayed in the studio. Yuan Zhou only said to Yin ya hurriedly,””Be careful on the road and pay attention to your safety.”

Then, he followed Ling Hong downstairs.

The two of them ran into each other downstairs. Ling Hong stopped, turned around and said,””You’re looking for me?”

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then went back to his restaurant without saying anything.

“This compass.” Ling Hong was also rendered speechless by Yuan Zhou’s taciturn manner. He could only follow him into the restaurant.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they found it was very quiet inside and isolated from the bustling outside. Only Yuan Zhou and Ling Hong were in the restaurant.

With both hands in his pockets, Ling Hong looked at Yuan Zhou with a sunny and relaxed manner, waiting for him to speak.

Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, was standing there with his back straight. He looked quite imposing and his expression was also quite serious.

“Tsk, tsk, you look a little like my grandfather. He has this expression every time he wants to scold me.” Ling Hong couldn’t help saying first.

“Let’s have a drink tonight. It’s my treat,” Yuan Zhou didn’t pay any attention to Ling Hong’s words, but invited him earnestly. After thinking for a while, he continued,””Drink as much wine as you like from the wine cellar.”

“F * ck! Compass, have you been transported to another world?” Ling Hong was startled. He immediately ran to Yuan Zhou and sized him up from all directions.

“No, I’m serious. This is the only time.” Yuan Zhou said with a slight frown.

“Alright, I’ll take it as true. But you want to treat me to a drink? What’s the matter?” Ling Hong asked.

“I’ll treat you to a drink after the tavern is over tonight. I’ll tell you then.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and then said.

“So mysterious? What’s the matter?” Ling Hong became more and more curious.

It wasn’t because of curiosity. Compass had invited him for a drink, and he was even drunk. He could drink whatever he wanted in the wine cellar. It was just that the person invited wasn’t Chen Wei. If it was Chen Wei, he would have been drunk to death in the wine cellar and not come out.

Therefore, Ling Hong became even more curious. One should know that he wasn’t a person like Chen Wei who loved drinking as much as his life. So why did Yuan Zhou suddenly invite him to drink?

Moreover, he said that. It was only because the time was not right. Otherwise, he would have broken Yuan Zhou’s rules.

How could Ling Hong not be curious and surprised?

“You’ll know when you come. ” After Yuan Zhou said that, he directly went upstairs without waiting for Ling Hong to continue asking.

“Okay, I’ll be there at 12 p.m.” Ling Hong shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the restaurant when he found he couldn’t get any answer out of him.

“I hope Ling Hong can bear it.” Yuan Zhou sighed in his heart when he heard Ling Hong’s footsteps fading away.
