Chapter 234

“My dear Brother Hai, listen to me please . You can only leave after the press conference ends tomorrow . ” Zheng Jiawei seldom spoke toughly like this time .

“No way . You tell them that I’m sick and can’t speak . Therefore, it’s of no use even if I am there,” while stroking his small mustache, Wu Hai said firmly .

“We can’t do like that . The journalists tomorrow are said to be really tough to handle . Elder Brother, please stay, please . ” Zheng Jiawei was so anxious that he called Wu Hai whatever he could think of .

“Stop it . Ok, I stay . ” Wu Hai could cope with Zheng Jiawei very easily even if he cried . But once he called him elder brother, Wu Hai had no idea how to refuse this brother-in-law of him . After all, he had to show due respect to his sister, Wu Ling’s feelings .

“Excellent . Listen, you go to the press conference tomorrow . After that, you can go back home for a meal and then come back at once . I can handle everything here,” Zheng Jiawei murmured to Wu Hai .

“Ok . Now you can go,” Wu Hai pulled Zheng Jiawei’s hand down and then said with a tone of contempt .

“Where am I going?” Zheng Jiawei was a little stunned .

They lived together these few days so that he could take care of Wu Hai conveniently . Formerly, Wu Hai had often been unable to fall asleep due to stomachaches and needed to drink something warm, so Zheng Jiawei ordered a suite with a usable kitchen as usual this time .

Although Wu Hai slept very well this time and didn’t wake up from the stomachache at midnight, they still lived together in a suite .

Now that Wu Hai let him go, Zheng Jiawei really didn’t know what he meant .

“Order the flight ticket,” said Wu Hai concisely .

“Got it . Don’t worry . I have never forgotten about your instructions . But the way you talk really scared me just now . I just thought that you didn’t allow me to sleep here . ” Zheng Jiawei patted on his chest in a manner of being scared .

“Hurry up . ” Said Wu Hai, who felt rather speechless .

“Ok, sure . Let me first go to run the hot water for you so that you can take a bath . Then you’ll become more spirited . You have eaten too little these days . ” The first thing that Zheng Jiawei was concerned about was naturally Wu Hai’s physical health .

“It doesn’t matter . I feel I’m pretty good . ” Reminded by Zheng Jiawei, Wu Hai suddenly realized the stomach troubles had not affected him for a long time .

“That’s true . You look better recently . ” Zheng Jiawei suddenly went up to about 4 or 5cm far from Wu Hai’s face . He stared at him for several minutes and then said affirmatively .

“Keep away from me . ” Wu Hai reached out his hands and directly pushed Zheng Jiawei’s head away .

“Jesus . Xiao Hai, not only you look better, but also your skin becomes better too . ” Zheng Jiawei suddenly shouted in surprise .

“Talk to me normally . ” Sometimes, Wu Hai really couldn’t endure Zheng Jiawei’s noisy utterance .

“Ok . I’m going to run hot water for now . ” Said Zheng Jiawei in a pitiful tone .

“It’s supposedly because the dishes of Boss Yuan are good . ” Wu Hai could apparently feel the ingredients of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were all top-notch ones . Therefore, he had never complained that the price was high . It’s just that he didn’t like his rules .

“I’m going to take Wu Ling there, too, to savor the dishes when we go back,” as soon as he heard that, Zheng Jiawei said excitedly .

“Humm . ” Wu Hai nodded the head .

On the next day, Wu Hai attended the press conference earnestly . On the other side, Yuan Zhou was likewise checking his leave request notice .

“Boss, I wrote three different ones . Please check which one you need . ” Shen Min took out three pieces of A4 paper and handed them to Yuan Zhou .

“I also wrote three notifications . They are all here . ” Obviously, Zhou Jia and Shen Min had agreed on to write the notifications by each with the same number and same paper .

“Humm, let me have a look . ” Yuan Zhou picked all up and carefully read them, preparing to select one and paste it on the door .

The first two were all of the same pattern while the last one was nevertheless quite creative . It was too creative for Yuan Zhou to be able to understand the meaning .

Leave Request Notification: I caught a fever in the cold wind and felt that my throat was rather uncomfortable and is now constantly drowsy . Because of that, I am really unable to open the restaurant for business . I’m really sorry for any inconvenience . “

“What does it mean?” Asked Yuan Zhou calmly while taking the notification that was written in the unintelligible ancient Chinese prose .

“I heard that from my senior classmate . It means that you are sick and is unable to open the restaurant for business . ” Shen Min carefully explained to him .

Leave requests all had similar reasons .

“We can’t lie to the customers . Change it to another one . ” Said Yuan Zhou with a face of righteousness .

“Ok . Shall I write another one?” Shen Min asked tentatively .

“Humm . There’s still time . Go ahead . ” Yuan Zhou agreed with a nod .

He continued to read the notifications written by Zhou Jia . The first one was almost the same to Shen Min’s and the second one was that he needed to ask for leave due to some personal affairs . The last one was the most unreliable .

Leave Request Notification: I have been set up for a blind date by my family and hereby request for leave for 5 days in order to end my single status . “

As for the remaining content, he didn’t read anymore .

“Zhou Jia, do you feel your boss needs blind dates?” asked Yuan Zhou seriously .

“No, no . It’s just because when I was working in a factory, some of my workmates wrote like that and then their application was approved . So . . . . . ” Zhou Jia indicated that she didn’t mean that intentionally . She just felt it easy to ask for leave that way and could guarantee it’s true .

“Humm . Write again . ” Yuan Zhou gave the six notifications back to them and then got seated on his seat . Then, he began to think of the reasons to ask for leave .

Just in a little while, Shen Min first handed a notice to him, which was quite satisfactory .

Leave Request Notification: As I have been suffering from being too handsome at my current age, I get exhausted mentally and physically and hence need to calm down . Therefore, I hereby ask for 5 days of leave . The restaurant will be opened again for business after 5 days . “

The signature area was left blank and to be filled out by Yuan Zhou .

“This one is nice . ” After reading, Yuan Zhou nodded primly with satisfaction .

“Really?” Shen Min got surprised immediately .

This leave request notification was written by her after she was inspired by a joke told by her roommate last night . Never had she ever expected that her boss would use it .

“Humm . When you write the leave request notifications again in future, do it exactly according to the truth . Don’t use the excuses like getting sick or having a blind date . A man has to be honest . ” Said Yuan Zhou seriously .

“Eh . . . ” Zhou Jia and Shen Min felt quite speechless to Yuan Zhou .

“You can come over to help clean the entrance area in the next few days and check if the notification is well pasted by the way . The salary will be paid as usual . ” Said Yuan Zhou while taking the satisfactory leave request notification .

“Sure . Just be rest assured, boss . ” The two girls truly felt Yuan Zhou was the most handsome man at the moment . Any boss that paid salary during holidays was most handsome .

On that day, both Shen Min and Zhou Jia stayed there and busied themselves explaining to the customers the matter that Yuan Zhou wouldn’t open the restaurant tomorrow . The effect of the advance notice was that the business of that day became much better . Luckily, Shen Min had only one class that day and helped Zhou Jia a lot .

. . . . .

On the next day, Yuan Zhou set out on a journey to Yanfeng Village with only a few pieces of luggage while Wu Hai likewise boarded the plane back to Chengdu with only a few pieces of luggage . They had barely missed each other .

Two and a half hours later, Wu Hai got off the plane and took a cab to Taoxi Road directly . He was a little surprised when he arrived at the cross of the side road .

“Why is it so quiet today?” Carrying a small bag on his shoulder, Wu Hai said in puzzlement .

However, Wu Hai had no time to think much about it due to his thirst for the delicacies . He just walked to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant in big strides .

Nevertheless, the uncomfortable feeling came true . There was no one at the entrance but only a piece of white A4 paper pasted loosely on the firmly-shut door .

“Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!” The abrupt shout of Wu Hai just scared quite a few sparrows to fly away .
