Chapter 955: 955

“Who is Shameless Wu?” Zhou Xi focused on something that others wouldn’t normally focus on .

“There, the one over there,” Zhou Shijie pointed at Wu Hai who was practically pouring food down his throat and said with a grumbling tone .

Zhou Xi looked over and saw a mustached guy with ordinary looks and extremely dexterous hands .

“He’s faster than me!” Zhou Xi muttered before increasing the speed of his hands .

And when Zhou Xi increased his speed, Zhou Shijie could no longer find a chance to take any food from the plate as Zhou Xi’s chopsticks seemed to be everywhere .

“Hold back a bit for your father . What’s the point of eating that fast?” Zhou Shijie said with a glare .

“This is fine, father . I got this speed from all the studying I did,” said Zhou Xi . His mouth was stuffed full of food yet he could speak extremely clearly .

“You are behaving like you have been starved for days . Eat slower,” Zhou Shijie felt like slapping Zhou Xi to death .

After all, from how Zhou Xi was behaving, one would think he was normally mistreated by Zhou Shijie . He was eating without any regard to his image .

“Gulp . ” Zhou Xi swallowed the final mouthful of food . Finally, his mouth was emptied .

“No, father, I am not full yet . Can we order more?” Zhou Xi said the moment he finished eating .

“So which brat was it that mentioned earlier that one does not need to take eating seriously?” Zhou Shijie was not surprised by Zhou Xi’s reaction, yet he still teased .

“Cough . It’s me . But now, I’m saying that I’m not full yet . You’re my father . You can’t let me starve when treating me to a meal, right?” said Zhou Xi . It would seem like he had also inherited Zhou Shijie’s shamelessness . He felt nothing saying those words .

“You, kid…” Zhou Shijie did not say too much and stopped at the appropriate moment .

“Father, the meal today is on you, right? Then I’ll order two more dishes,” said Zhou Xi with a smile while scratching his head .

“Go ahead . You don’t come back often anyway . Eat more,” said Zhou Shijie with a nod .

“Excuse me, order please,” Zhou Xi picked up the menu and called out at Zhou Jia .

“Be careful . You must finish all the food you order . Otherwise, you will be banned from the restaurant . These are the rules here,” Zhou Shijie reminded .

“Ok,” said Zhou Xi with a nod .

“Hi! What would you like to order?” Zhou Jia was already used to customers ordering extra servings after eating . In a way, this was a rite of passage for new customers here .

That’s right . Due to the expensive price of the food here, first-time customers would normally opt to order one dish to give it a try . And after tasting the first dish, 98% of them would order more .

Without stuffing their stomachs with food and emptying all the money in their wallets, the new customers would not stop .

This was especially true in situations where a regular customer was bringing a new customer here . Almost all of them would order more .

“Phoenix-Tailed Prawns, White Oil Tofu, Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork, and Smoked Fish Silver Thread Noodles . He’s paying,” Zhou Xi quickly ordered before pointing at his father .

“Yes, I’m paying . One Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set as well,” said Zhou Shijie . He glanced at Zhou Xi helplessly before taking his phone out and making the payment .

“Ok, please wait a moment . The dishes will be served shortly,” said Zhou Jia after confirming that the payment had been received . She left after a nod .

“The dishes and the noodles are enough for me,” said Zhou Xi .

“Piss off . I ordered the noodles for myself . The dishes earlier have all been finished by you . I had only eaten a single bowl of rice,” grumbled Zhou Shijie while pointing at the empty plates on the table .

“Cough, I’m just trying not to waste food,” said Zhou Xi after an awkward cough .

Zhou Shijie tossed Zhou Xi a glance, not feeling like saying anything else .

Zhou Xi did not feel anything . In any case, that was his own father . It felt good to be shameless toward him every now and then .

“No wonder even Senior Yu Chu has turned into a gourmet . How can food so good exist? This is something out of the world,” said Zhou Xi while smacking his lips and recollecting the taste of the food he had eaten .

Meanwhile, Yu Chu and his friend were happily and passionately talking about the All-Fish Banquet .

The moment Zhou Xi saw that scene, he said, “It is truly unbelievable yet understandable . The food here is too good . ”

Zhou Xi was not thinking about anything else and had completely forgotten his initial approach towards food . The only thing in his mind was the new dishes he had ordered .

“I wonder how will they taste like,” Zhou Xi muttered .

“Definitely delicious,” said Zhou Shijie .

Zhou Xi nodded on reflex before seriously looking at Yuan Zhou who was busy cooking .

“I haven’t brought him here for nothing, after all,” said Zhou Shijie . He was feeling gratified when he saw Zhou Xi’s reaction, even his facial expression eased up .

The two hours of lunchtime ended quickly . When leaving with Zhou Xi, Zhou Shijie greeted Yuan Zhou .

“See you tonight, boss,” said Zhou Jia after she was done with her job . She was the last to leave .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Truthfully boss, you are already very amazing,” Zhou Jia suddenly said when she reached the door .

Yuan Zhou had a confused expression . He gazed at Zhou Jia, not understanding what she was trying to say . He agreed and already knew that he was amazing, but this sudden praise was rather odd .

“I observed that you seem unhappy recently . In truth, the hate comments online are all written by people from other restaurants . Don’t mind them, boss . You are truly amazing,” said Zhou Jia with a stubborn look on her face .

Yuan Zhou was stupefied . What was being said on the internet? And what were the hateful comments?

That’s right . It had been a few days since Yuan Zhou last went online . He was only waiting for the news about the boxer and had no idea what Zhou Jia was talking about .

Zhou Jia was referring to the hate comments that had recently appeared . The various false information about Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was rather infuriating .

Naturally, Yu Chu, Jiang Changxi, and Ling Hong were already dealing with that and were looking for the reason of the attack . Zhou Jia believed that Yuan Zhou was unhappy because of that .

Although Yuan Zhou was a person with a deadpan face, after working for a while at the restaurant, Zhou Jia had a better grasp at Yuan Zhou’s mood . That was why she was suddenly comforting him .

“Don’t worry, boss . Hate comments will only appear because of our high popularity,” Zhou Jia said .

“Um . Don’t worry,” said Yuan Zhou . Although he had no idea what the hate comments were talking about, when he saw Zhou Jia’s anxious expression, he still gave her a serious reply .

Zhou Jia studied Yuan Zhou’s expression and left after a nod .

“Hate comments? Forget it . I’ll check next time,” muttered Yuan Zhou . He only lifted his phone for a short moment before putting it down again .

Nowadays, apart from when improving cooking skills and running his restaurant, Yuan Zhou would be in a rather downcast mood as he still hadn’t found any information about the family members of Song An, the boxer .

Right after he placed his phone down, the phone rang .

“Hello,” Yuan Zhou quickly answered the call when he saw the caller ID .

“Hello, Mr . Yuan . The results for the investigation are out,” said a male voice calmly .

“Um . Will you be sending me a document about it?” Yuan Zhou asked .

“No, not really . We failed to locate Song An’s family,” said the man .

“Oh, ok . Forward me the balance fee later,” said Yuan Zhou after a slight pause .

“Thank you, Mr . Yuan . I hope we have a chance to work together again in the future . The detailed report will be mailed to you with express mail service,” said the man .

“Um,” Yuan Zhou nodded and ended the call .
