Protagonist:

Lu Feng

But very quickly, his face once again regained a look full of confidence: "No matter, young people after all, it's inevitable their horizons are a bit narrow. Once our restaurant officially opens for business, the customers on his side will naturally be drawn over. When the time comes and he has no more business, when his restaurant can't keep operating, he'll naturally come looking for us on his own."

Zhou Li on the side, although in her heart she fully agreed with Yang Zhenguang's plan, still, out of professional rigor, very responsibly reminded him: "Special Chef Yang, I investigated this young man called Lu Feng before. His culinary skill is indeed very good. I heard the dishes he makes, many diners eat once and can't forget them. If we can poach him over, plus with you holding down the fort, our restaurant will absolutely be like a tiger with wings added, and we'll also have one less strong opponent……"

"I know, that's why I just invited him."

Yang Zhenguang waved his hand, interrupting Zhou Li's words, and said in a faint tone.

"Then in your view…… how great is the possibility of poaching him over? His attitude just now you also saw, he looked impervious to persuasion."

Zhou Li couldn't help but press the question.

Yang Zhenguang shook his head, and said in a very definite tone: "As it looks now, the possibility isn't great, unless his shop goes bankrupt."

"Alright."

Zhou Li sighed. Yang Zhenguang's answer was actually also within her expectations, just her heart still inevitably felt a bit disappointed.

Afterwards she looked at this Zhen Guang, with a face full of anticipation said: "Then the restaurant's dishes and reputation from now on, will all rely on you, Special Chef Yang."

"Manager Zhou, rest assured."

Yang Zhenguang smiled, a confident light flashing in his eyes: "I'll let that young man know, opening a restaurant has never been something that just relying on taste is enough. However, to crush that restaurant, later we'll still need Manager Zhou and your team's assistance."

"That goes without saying."

Zhou Li's face revealed a confident smile, and she said very proudly: "Our company's service and other aspects, absolutely aren't something that Lu Family Restaurant can compare to. After all, the philosophy of all restaurants under our company, is to let every customer who comes to dine experience a sense of honor as if they were honored guests."

"En, then I'll head back first. These few days I'll finalize the restaurant's menu as soon as possible."

Yang Zhenguang nodded, and said to Zhou Li: "When the day comes for the restaurant's official opening, I'll come on time."

"Okay Special Chef Yang, then you take care. The restaurant's preparations here you can rest assured leaving to our team, we'll definitely give you a perfect opening environment."

Zhou Li said with a smile, stepped forward two steps and sent Yang Zhenguang out the restaurant door.

"En, thanks for your hard work."

Yang Zhenguang nodded, then turned around and directly left Food Street.

…………

The next day at dusk, Food Street's smoke and fire atmosphere early on rose up.

Lu Family Restaurant hadn't yet reached business hours, the shop entrance as always gathered quite a few diners who came early, still scattered in twos and threes on the surrounding snack stalls, eating while chatting, waiting for Lu Family Restaurant to open for business.

Just at this moment, a figure hurriedly passed through the crowd, footsteps both fast and urgent, looking like he ran all the way here.

That person saw Lu Family Restaurant's gate wide open, and without a word just wanted to go inside.

"Hey! That who! Wait!"

Behind that person suddenly came a shout, reminding him: "Boss Lu hasn't started business yet! If you go in now you won't get to eat!"

That person's footsteps paused, he abruptly turned his head, a delighted expression appearing on his face: "No way! Wenliang? You brat came back from your business trip?"

The person who just shouted, was precisely Ma Wenliang, a programmer at a game company in an office building nearby. Right now he held a fried skewer he hadn't finished eating, hearing that person's voice sounded very familiar.

He was a bit nearsighted, today when he left the company he rushed out too fast, forgot his glasses, squinting his eyes staring at that person for a long time, carefully recognizing for a good while, suddenly his face revealed a shocked expression, his tone full of disbelief: "You are…… Zhu Chang?"

"If not me then who else could it be?"

Zhu Chang quickly walked to Ma Wenliang's side, raised his hand and forcefully patted Ma Wenliang's shoulder, conveniently took a skewer of fried skewers from Ma Wenliang's hand, and while eating said loudly: "What's up, just one month not seeing each other, you don't recognize me anymore?"

Ma Wenliang only now completely saw clearly, the person before his eyes indeed was Zhu Chang.

Only this guy, compared to the last time they met one month ago, the change really was too great.

Before, Zhu Chang's figure, that was a round and plump big lump.

Now his whole person had slimmed down a lot. His originally round face, couldn't even see a neck. Now the contours on his face had become somewhat clear.

Especially his belly, before round and plump like he was pregnant for several months, now it had actually flattened quite a bit, almost no different from a normal person.

"Holy cow! Zhu Chang, it really is you!"

Ma Wenliang with a face full of surprise reached out and patted Zhu Chang's belly, only feeling the touch had become quite a bit firmer, couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder: "What's your situation? Just one month not seeing each other how did you get this thin? You wouldn't have not eaten for this whole month, right? Or are you saying you finally became willing to exercise?"

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing? Greeting is greeting, why get handsy?"

Zhu Chang brushed away Ma Wenliang's hand, then said with a grin: "Every day besides eating I'm just busy writing novels, where would I have time to exercise? This isn't because of you brat? Ever since you went to Mo Du on a business trip, there was no one in Lu Family Restaurant to let me snatch food from……"

"Wait a moment."

Ma Wenliang hearing these words, the smile on his face instantly vanished without a trace, couldn't help but roll his eyes big time: "So your meaning is, after I left you couldn't find anyone to snatch food from, and starved yourself thin?"

He instantly retreated a step back, put the fried skewer in his hand behind his back too.

According to Zhu Chang's saying, after he comes back this time, wouldn't he just stick to him every day, and eat back everything he didn't get to eat this month?

"Hehe, just kidding with you!"

Zhu Chang hurriedly waved his hand, shamelessly corrected himself: "Actually it's because after you left, I missed you terribly, couldn't eat or sleep from thinking of you, ate less, that's why I slimmed down!"

"Like hell I believe you!"

Ma Wenliang angrily retorted: "I think what you said before is the real reason, right? Don't think I can't hear it!"

Afterwards he looked at Zhu Chang, remembered his hurried appearance just now, and asked a bit curiously: "Speaking of which, you just now all anxious and busy, what were you going to do? Could it be you snatched someone else's food and got chased?"

Reminded by him like this, Zhu Chang only then suddenly remembered his original purpose, heavily patted his own head: "Holy cow! You didn't say I'd have forgotten! I still have urgent business to find Boss Lu!"

Finished speaking, he also didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with Ma Wenliang, dropped a "turn head again tell you in detail", and hurriedly rushed into Lu Family Restaurant.
