Chapter 883: 883

“He is only an odd-job worker . That is absolutely impossible,” Little Zhao shouted with his finger pointed at Yuan Zhou .

Little Zhao wasn’t exactly an idiot . If his brain was working normally, he would never utter such words before his master .

But envy could cause one to lose one’s judgment . Many conducts that seemed idiotic were actually done when one was envious .

Moreover, Little Zhao was telling the truth . It was true that Yuan Zhou used to be an odd-job worker at the kitchen . Little Zhao was merely protecting his restaurant by saying that .

Unfortunately, words could never be spoken indiscriminately .

Therefore…

“Is this a madman?” Meng Meng looked at Little Zhao in disbelief, feeling like this guy had mental problems .

“Zhao Xin!” Cao Zhishu turned and shouted with a grave voice .

“Heh, I have a bad temper . Do you want to try my fist? Let me tell you that if you don’t give a proper apology, don’t dream of leaving this door today,” Master Cheng rolled his sleeves up in preparation for a brawl .

However, since Yuan Zhou had not spoken, Master Cheng did not dare to act recklessly . After all, he truly saw Yuan Zhou as his master and therefore, he needed to abide by his master’s wishes .

Yuan Zhou gave Little Zhao a glance and spoke like it was nothing .

“You really do remember me . But we were never that close, right?” Yuan Zhou said in astonishment .

Yuan Zhou did not feel offended . Rather, he started recollecting his past at that hotel .

In truth, Little Zhao did not have any enmity with Yuan Zhou . After all, Little Zhao used to be the sous-chef while Yuan Zhou was merely the odd-job worker there . Even if there were work politics, there wouldn’t be any between the two of them .

And thus, Yuan Zhou was shocked the other day to find that Little Zhao still remembered him . And now, looking at Little Zhao’s look of hatred, Yuan Zhou was completely confused and could not make sense of the reason for this enmity .

“So you have never learned from Head Chef Yuan before?” Cao Zhishu frowned and asked while rubbing his bald head .

“Learn my ass . Cao Zhishu, you are the one who brought him here . Give an explanation on his behalf,” Master Cheng shouted .

Being angrily glared at by so many people, with one of them being his master, Little Zhao became panicky . But when he saw the confused expression on Yuan Zhou, he felt like his enmity was completely a one-man show . This caused his temper to flare up, instantly giving him more courage .

“I am telling the truth . He really was an odd-job worker!” Little Zhao pointed at Yuan Zhou and emphasized .

“Do you want to be dead, crippled, or bleeding? I will deal with all the consequences,” Master Cheng said as he looked around, looking for a suitable weapon . He was obviously looking for a knife .

“What are you being all agitated for? He is my disciple . I do not need you to deal with him,” Cao Zhishu said as he gave Little Zhao a slap .

Pa . The slap resounded throughout the restaurant .

In the beginning, Cao Zhishu was stunned by Little Zhao’s sudden outrage and did not have the chance to do anything . This time, he decisively gave him a slap before gazing at Little Zhao coldly .

The slap was imprinted on Little Zhao’s face, instantly clearing his head .

“Sorry, Head Chef Yuan . I seem to have lost control of myself earlier . I’m sorry,” Little Zhao bowed and apologized without hesitation, his tone filled with sincerity .

“I am terribly sorry about this, Head Chef Yuan . It is my fault for failing to discipline my disciple,” Cao Zhishu bowed his head and voiced his apology as well .

Yuan Zhou did not say anything, while Master Cheng was still looking around, considering the flower pot as a weapon instead . When he heard their words, he spoke again .

“What the hell? You want to deal with this with just an apology? Are you dreaming?” Master Cheng said as he glared fiercely at Little Zhao . He was completely unlike the usual him who was simple, honest, and polite .

“Why are you getting so agitated? I have already admitted that I failed in educating my disciple . Head Chef Yuan will be the one to say what he wants to do about this . What does that have to do with you?” Cao Zhishu said impatiently .

“What does that have to do? Hah . Let me tell you that I am the one who is learning under Master Yuan, and can be considered half a disciple of his,” Master Cheng announced with a snort as he started lifting the flower pot .

“Zhao Xin, piss off right this moment,” Cao Zhishu immediately told Zhao Xin to leave .

“Ah?” Zhao Xin was somewhat stunned as he stared blankly at his master .

“Are you going to stay here waiting for him to beat you to death?” Cao Zhishu said as he pointed at Master Cheng who had just lifted a flower pot .

“Oh, ok,” Zhao Xin finally noticed that Master Cheng was really going to smash the pot on him and was not kidding around . He immediately turned and ran .

Master Cheng was about to toss the flower pot his way .

“Don’t smash the flower pot,” Yuan Zhou immediately said . This was a flower pot he had newly bought after spending 50 RMB .

The moment Yuan Zhou spoke, Master Cheng stopped and placed the flower pot down . When he saw Little Zhao running, he started chasing while yelling, “Don’t run . Stand there! If I don’t beat you to death today, I will start writing my name upside down in the future!”

And just like that, the two were gone from the restaurant . Meng Meng was the one to react quickly . Scared that something bad might happen, she ran after Master Cheng and shouted, “Master Cheng, calm down . ”

Now, only Yuan Zhou and Cao Zhishu were left in the restaurant .

“I am really sorry, Head Chef Yuan . That Little Zhao has truly gone crazy . It is my bad for failing in disciplining him,” Cao Zhishu said apologetically while rubbing his bald head .

“So how do you propose we deal with this?” Cao Zhishu stood there, looking at Yuan Zhou with shame on his face .

That was truly quite embarrassing . He was the one who had brought his disciple along to this restaurant to have a friendly exchange . But it was his disciple that ended up scolding his opponent . All this happened in the restaurant of his opponent, a conduct that was the same as visiting someone at his house to give him a slap .

When Cao Zhishu recalled what happened, he had the urge to drag Little Zhao and give him a kick . He was a person who emphasized greatly on etiquette . Nothing could be ruder than what Little Zhao just did .

As for Master Cheng, Cao Zhishu was not worried . Indeed, Master Cheng had a bad temper and had even gotten into a fight with Zhou Shijie, but he was already old, unlike Zhao Xin who was still in his prime years . Master Cheng would never catch up to Zhao Xin .

More importantly, he had to help ease the victim’s anger .

“Just finish the food,” Yuan Zhou said indifferently .

“Ah?” Cao Zhishu blanked out, completely confused .

“If you don’t finish your food, you won’t be able to come and eat anymore,” Yuan Zhou said, pointing at the “no food wastage” notice on the wall . It was quite humorous the way he said it .

When Cao Zhishu saw that Yuan Zhou had a calm expression and did not seem to mind, he concluded that this was Yuan Zhou trying to end this in an amicable fashion . His respect for Yuan Zhou grew while a sense of gratitude welled within him .

To be completely honest, if he was in Yuan Zhou’s position, he would definitely not let this matter rest easily . Even if he would not let his temper flare up for the sake of etiquette, he would still wonder if this was simply a show the opponent put up using his disciple after losing .

It’s not like he was a vile person to have such thoughts . But it was too coincidental . Right after the opponent praised that the Spicy Boiled Fish was better, the disciple started going crazy .

“I only cooked a portion for one,” Yuan Zhou added .
