Chapter 413: Treating

Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

While Ling Hong was driving and getting annoyed at his end, Yuan Zhou wasn’t actually thinking of that . He was dealing with Jiang Changxi .

Or rather, Jiang Changxi made him struggle to cope with her .

Jiang Changxi, who had been absent for a long time, didn’t leave immediately after she finished the breakfast . She was dressed in a white shirt with two buttons undone . Besides that, she was wearing a gray short-tassel jacket outside and black skinny pants . On the whole, she looked refreshing and experienced . As she was leaning against the table, she also carried a little sexual attraction . However, Yuan Zhou didn’t have that luck to enjoy .

“Boss Yuan, it’s not a good habit to break your promise with me . ” The voice of Jiang Changxi was leisurely and languorous . Of course, it would have been better if there wasn’t the purely teasing look in her eyes .

“No, I didn’t . The first time I invited you, you said you would consider it carefully . ” Yuan Zhou straightened himself up and then said calmly .

“For the second time, you were out on a business trip . ” Yuan Zhou continued saying .

“Today is the third time and you just came back . ” Yuan Zhou stared blankly at Jiang Changxi and said earnestly .

“Don’t pay attention to such trivia . Is it a fact that you owe me a meal?” Jiang Changxi reached out her white hand and waved them .

“Yes, it’s true . Do you need me to treat you today?” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Of course . . . . not . ” Jiang Changxi liked taking long breaths and consequently teased Yuan Zhou again .

“Then business hours have come to an end . ” Yuan Zhou gestured at the time .

“I just want to accompany you to chat a while in case you feel bored alone . ” Jiang Changxi shrugged and said casually .

“Haw-haw-haw . ” Having watched the interesting scene, Wu Hai laughed undisguisedly .

The reason Jiang Changxi flirted with Yuan Zhou lightly like that was because she was their hidden agenda as it was really difficult to find a slow person like Yuan Zhou .

“I heard from Zheng Jiawei that you boiled Ink Eel recently to eat . ” Yuan Zhou said with a bland tone, like he wasn’t taking revenge on him .

“Wait . What is Ink Eel?” Jiang Changxi revealed a look of interest .

“The boiled eel blended with blue ink . ” Yuan Zhou explained considerately .

“Wu Hai! Why did you cook the dark cuisine again?” Apparently, Jiang Changxi also knew that . On hearing that, she just felt speechless instead of being surprised .

“Not really . That bowl of eel was just like the dark sky glistening slightly with blue color . And the finely divided small pieces of flesh were nevertheless like the countless stars . ” Wu Hai gasped in admiration while stroking his small mustaches . Obviously, he enjoyed that work of his and was quite proud .

“Was it edible?” Yuan Zhou came to the point .

“Hahahaha . ” It was Jiang Changxi who was covering her own mouth and laughing loudly .

Yuan Zhou could promise that he really didn’t laugh, at least not on the surface . Instead, he said solemnly with his face tightly taut, “Don’t waste the ingredients . “

“That is art . ” Wu Hai retorted, being reluctant to admit defeat .

“Yes . But still, it can’t be eaten . ” Yuan Zhou said indifferently .

“Ok, you win . I’m leaving . ” Wu Hai turned around and left angrily with an expression of “You ordinary people don’t know how to appreciate it” .

“Little Hai Hai, see you later . ” Jiang Changxi waved her hands .

“I’m going to close the door and go buy radishes . ” Yuan Zhou said that .

“Alright . Remember the treat . ” Upon seeing Yuan Zhou’s earnest expression, Jiang Changxi also knew Yuan Zhou’s habit of sculpting and thus said approvingly .

“You are always welcomed . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Boss Yuan, you look so lovable with that expression . ” Jiang Changxi always couldn’t help teasing him when she saw Yuan Zhou’s prim manner .

“It is actually called handsome . ” Yuan Zhou frowned and corrected her .

“Haha . Yes, it’s handsome . ” Jiang Changxi walked out while covering her mouth and laughing .

Seeing everybody leave, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief .

“Fortunately, I presented the facts and reason things out smartly and consequently got rid of the stigma of breaking promises with others . ” Yuan Zhou rubbed his own forehead and praise himself .

It was still early and was merely 9:30 a . m . At that time, some people appeared in the Bureau of Land Management .

One of them was dressed in a decent black suit; his upper pocket was decorated with a silk scarf, which looked a little fashionable; and his hair was combed meticulously . He was none other than Mr . Cheng, who had been humiliated by Yuan Zhou more than one month ago .

However, Mr . Cheng was extremely proud of his success today . He said with a smile, “Niu Li, is everything prepared?”

“General Manager Cheng, all information is here, all complete . ” Niu Li was still as serious and earnest as always, with some documents in her hand .

“General Manager Cheng, the business achievements submitted by Masterwork Nonsuch is rising steadily and besides, within the first ten among all branch restaurants . Why do this?” Another man at the side asked with puzzlement .

“Exactly because of that, we need that piece of land . ” General Manager Cheng said affirmatively .

“Assistant Deng, please look at their daily turnover . ” Niu Li handed him a document .

“Ok . ” Assistant Deng opened the document and leafed through it quickly .

“The sales in these three days seem to be quite high . ” Since Assistant Deng could work as the assistant to the General Manager, he naturally had excellent convincing capabilities . At least, he read the documents very quickly .

“Yes . During the three days, that small restaurant wasn’t open . Even the turnover in the following few days was higher than that of normal times . ” Niu Li nodded her head affirmatively .

“Ok . So let’s get inside, General Manager Cheng . ” Assistant Deng got relieved and walked into the Bureau of Land Management quite confidently .

“Um . ” General Manager Cheng nodded . After that, the several people entered the door in quick steps .

“Hello . I made an appointment with Director-general Zhang . ” It was General Manager Cheng who said that .

“Ok . Please wait a moment . ” The female receptionist nodded her head and then went to confirm the schedule before she took them inside .

After a sound of “Zhi Ya”, the wooden door was opened . Then, the receptionist went out .

As soon as the door was opened, the middle-aged man seated behind the office table stood up and said smilingly .

“Haha . Manager Cheng, what brought you here?” Director-general Zhang was actually a deputy . He didn’t really have much power, but was just in charge of the area of Taoxi Road .

As the saying goes, it’s better to find the right person than the big boss . Therefore, General Manager Cheng directly came here .

The several people entered the office one after another .

“I need your help . ” General Manager Cheng’s attitude was enthusiastic, but not of flattery .

After all, the market value of his company was fairly high .

“Now that you came to me, you definitely must have taken a fancy to some place . ” Director-general Zhang was a middle-aged man with thick hair . He was thin, but was quite spirited .

“You are right . Director-general Zhang knows me so much . Let me tell you now . ” General Manager Cheng signaled Niu Li standing behind him to hand the documents to him and to Assistant Deng standing at the other side to hand him the quotation .

“Huh . You are well prepared . ” Director-general Zhang received them smilingly .

“I definitely have to prepare well before I come to see you . I don’t want to be kicked out . ” General Manager Cheng answered fluently .

Speaking of which, the two people indeed knew each other and had come into contact before . General Manager Cheng knew the rules of Director-general Zhang . He didn’t accept gifts, but only approved the applications under the condition that it was good for the place and could improve urban constructions .

Last time, general Manager Cheng witnessed clearly a person who came here to send gifts was sent away .

He was far from being commented as great . However, Director-general Zhang was now a deputy and besides, he was no more than 45 years old, still young .

“No . 14 of Taoxi Road? You want to take that land?” Director-general Zhang flipped through the documents and asked for confirmation .
