Chapter 585: 585

It took about 30 minutes to get to the airport from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . As Zhong Lili didn’t drive quickly, she had time to carefully describe their schedule in Japan on the way to the airport .

Of course, she also mentioned the things that she was responsible for .

Simply speaking, they just needed to communicate with the Japanese chefs in the kitchen of the hotel within those three days . The remaining time was for free activities .

Of course, the accommodations and meals were all provided by the host . But if they wanted to play, they had to pay by themselves .

“Mr . Yuan, the hotel we are going to live in is called Century Kaiyue Hotel . It’s seated in the boisterous and flourishing Xinxiu District . ” Zhong Lili continued introducing the hotel after she finished the introduction of their schedule .

“We have booked the luxury suite for you . The surroundings are fairly nice . You can watch the Central Park and night scenes of Tokyo from the suite . There is a private balcony and a special working region in the rooms . If you have any opinions, you can tell me in advance . ” Zhong Lili introduced the facilities in the room simply and dutifully .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

“Mr . Yuan, we are arriving at the airport . ” Zhong Lili parked the car and then said .

“Alright . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head and then got off the car from the seat .

“Ta Ta Ta . ” Yuan Zhou walked straight to the trunk and then stood aside, waiting for Zhong Lili to come and open the trunk .

After all, Yuan Zhou believed that the remote control of the trunk was installed on Zhong Lili’s foot and thus, he naturally wouldn’t open the trunk by himself .

“How many hours will the journey take?” As the two of them took an elevator upstairs and headed to the airport terminal T1, Yuan Zhou asked her .

“I’m sorry, Mr . Yuan . It was careless of me not to tell you about that just now . We are taking the direct flight and it will take us 5 hours and 20 minutes to get there . As there are only ten seats in the first-class cabin of this plane, I have bought the business-class tickets for you . ” Zhong Lili was a little embarrassed, thus, she immediately said quickly .

It was indeed Zhong Lili’s carelessness . After all, she had said everything but forgot to tell him about how long the flight will take and the matters of boarding the plane .

“The plane will take off at 9:05 in the morning and arrive at 3:25 in the afternoon . This is the scheduled time under the condition that the flight isn’t delayed . “

“I’m so sorry, Mr . Yuan . ” Zhong Lili said with a slightly embarrassed manner .

“It’s alright . ” After Yuan Zhou said that, he continued staying silent .

Zhong Lili tilted her head slightly and took a peek at Yuan Zhou . Then, she became relieved when she found Yuan Zhou didn’t reveal any angry manner .

“Though this guy looks indifferent, he really has a good temper . ” Zhong Lili had a rare favorable comment about Yuan Zhou .

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou was thinking of something else with a solemn look at that moment .

In his opinion, the reason why those chefs were willing to come to Chengdu to take the direct flight was because Chairman Zhou, namely Zhou Shijie, was here .

Yuan Zhou was just unwilling to socialize with others, but actually, he knew everything . He was quite clear that people had to do something to show respect to their superior if they came to his territory .

Therefore, Yuan Zhou was just thinking of the scene where those chefs visited Zhou Shijie . After all, he was bored .

“Hi, everybody . I’m Zhong Lili . I’ll be responsible for the journey this time . You can contact me directly if anything happens . ” Just when Yuan Zhou was lost in thought, Zhong Lili had led him to the airport terminal T1 and met other chefs .

As Zhong Lili was working for Zhou Shijie, other chefs naturally gave her enough respect to respond to her greetings .

As for Yuan Zhou, he just stood there in silence and didn’t intend to say anything . Nonetheless, Li Minghui greeted Yuan Zhou proactively .

“Don’t be so courteous, Assistant Zhong . We are not going there for the first time . We know the rules . ” Li Ming said to her first as he was quite familiar with her .

“Yeah . No need to be so courteous, Sister Zhong . ” Liu Tong stood beside Li Minghui and said smilingly .

“Don’t worry, Assistant Zhong . Let’s go . ” A middle-aged man, who was dressed, casually chimed in too .

“You are too courteous, Assistant Zhong . “

“Indeed . We should give thanks to you now as we’ll inevitably bother you a lot when we get there . ”

“That’s right . Sorry for bothering you . ”

“Sister Zhong is still so beautiful . Did you bring something tasty cooked by the chairman? Speaking of this exchange meeting, are we going to be challenged this time? I felt rather regretful last time as no one did so . Will they challenge us this time? If we don’t accept their challenge, will that affect us on some aspects . . . ” While other chefs all made small talk briefly, only this person kept going on and on .

The key point was that this person even walked in front of Zhong Lili and Yuan Zhou while saying that .

This person was dressed in a shirt and a grey cardigan outside . The pants were dark red and the coat was beige . Though the way he dressed was a little weird, he appeared uninhibited on the whole .

“Thank you, Mr . Wu . The chairman has not cooked anything recently . ” Zhong Lili took a deep breath and then answered after the person stopped .

“Let’s hurry up and check in . It’s not early now . ” After that, Zhong Lili said immediately before the person could reply .

With Zhong Lili’s assistance, they checked in quickly . When Zhong Lili released the boarding pass, she hesitated for a while and arranged Mr . Wu’s seat beside Yuan Zhou .

After all, in Zhong Lili’s opinion, a talkative man should get along well with a person who spoke little .

Yuan Zhou felt that he had fairly good luck . Not long after he entered the departure lounge, they started to board the plane . It seemed that the plane could take off on time .

“Ah, a window seat . Nice . ” After he boarded the plane, Yuan Zhou saw his own seat and felt rather content .

Yuan Zhou had barely got seated when the person beside him sat on the chair . It was Mr . Wu, who had kept talking just now .

“Hoo . . . What a long journey! 5 hours! How shall I endure it?” Once he got seated, Mr . Wu complained .

Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything at all, but just looked out from the window .

Yuan Zhou didn’t know how to communicate with a stranger at all, hence naturally kept silent . However, Mr . Wu wasn’t that kind of person . He was good at communicating with strangers .

“Are you displeased since you have a long face? You can see lots of pretty girls in Japan . Oh, no . Maybe they are too busy making money and you might not see many on the streets . ” Mr . Wu said to Yuan Zhou .

“Um . ” Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t want to talk to him . However, Mr . Wu not only spoke to him but also tugged Yuan Zhou’s sleeve .

“I’m Wu Jun and I’m a chef . What’s your name? It is okay if you don’t tell me . Anyway, I feel it’s really not bad to call you ‘long face’ . I have never seen such a young man like you among the people going to Japan . How many years have you been cooking? And what cuisines are you good at? Are you good at picking up girls? Do you want to get a drink after we get off?” As soon as Wu Jun finished introducing himself, other questions followed .

Yuan Zhou found that he hadn’t answered the last question when the second, third and more questions followed .

In the end, Yuan Zhou just closed his mouth and watched this person chatter . Then, he realized he was wrong . This person didn’t even need others to answer him before continuing .

“Speaking of which, the in-flight meals are really not bad . Besides that, the food provided are all Japanese food . Do you want to have a try later?” By the way, did you bring some wine? I don’t like drinking Japanese sake . If you didn’t bring any wine, I will treat you to the Japanese sake . The taste is not bad . Sigh! The airline stewardesses not only have long legs, but also have pretty faces . Which one do you feel is prettier? By the way, are you going to Japan for the first time? If you need any help, just tell me . I won’t refuse you . ” Wu Hai said ceaselessly .

“I want to ask for your help now . ” Yuan Zhou’s face was almost paralyzed due to maintaining his poker face for a long time . On hearing the last word, he finally got an opportunity to break in and thus immediately said .

“Tsk Tsk . Look at your expression . I’m so familiar with it . I know you want me to shut up . No way . Let me tell you I won’t help you in this regard . ” Wu Jun looked at Yuan Zhou’s face carefully and said affirmatively .

Yuan Zhou immediately choked . He couldn’t help thinking of Wu Hai who sometimes made people speechless .

“After I meet you, I finally understand the meaning of ‘A young Wu in the presence of an Elder Wu’ . ” Yuan Zhou leaned against the back of the chair and said helplessly . Wu Hai did not seem talkative at all at this moment .
