1678 Good news is near

After washing up, Yuan Zhou had already changed into a snow-white middle coat and was sitting at the table with an ancient book in his hand, preparing to read.

Time passed by minute by minute. Soon, Yuan Zhou raised his head and looked at the clock. It was already the closing time of the pub.

“Hua la,” Yuan Zhou pushed open the window and happened to see Mao Ye locking the door.

“Be careful on the road.” When Mao Ye stood up, Yuan Zhou lowered his head and warned her.

“Okay, thank you, boss.” Mao Ye nodded and ran to the bus stop.

At this time, the last bus to the University was waiting there. He had to run faster so that the bus wouldn’t have to wait for him.

Yuan Zhou watched Mao Ye get on the bus all the way. Only when the tail lights of the bus disappeared did Yuan Zhou withdraw his gaze and prepare to close the window.

“Compass, compass,” An energetic voice came from the opposite side. Obviously, Wu Hai was greeting Yuan Zhou when he saw him.

“Yes, sleep early.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou decisively closed the window and returned to his room.

“This way, the crow beast won’t have any thoughts about having supper.” Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

But at this moment, the phone suddenly rang with a piercing “Ding Ling Ling Ding Ling” sound.

“It can’t be that the crow beast, the crow beast has arrived, right?” Yuan Zhou was startled and didn’t take out his phone immediately.

Only after the phone rang several times did Yuan Zhou take it over. When he found it wasn’t Wu Hai on the screen, he then picked up the phone with relief.

“Ling Hong, it’s so late. What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou asked directly.

That’s right. It was Ling Hong who called at this late hour, not Wu Hai that Yuan Zhou had thought.

“You should congratulate me now, compass.” Ling Hong’s voice revealed a jubilant mood and he said complacently.

“Oh? Very well, congratulations. ” Yuan Zhou directly congratulated him straightforwardly.

“You’re so insincere. Aren’t you going to ask me what it is about?” Ling Hong said discontentedly.

“What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou sat down, closed the ancient book and asked seriously.

It wasn’t because Yuan Zhou had become easy to talk to recently, but because he had seen how hard Ling Hong had been working recently. As a friend, he was willing to joke with Ling Hong.

“I’ve succeeded! I’ve succeeded in my proposal! I’m getting married!” Even through the phone, Yuan Zhou could feel that Ling Hong had added at least three exclamation marks when he said that.

“Then, congratulations to you. You’re about to become Xiao Qing’s husband. It’s only right now.” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to say such a long sentence, but his tone was very sincere.

“Yes, it’s perfectly legitimate.” Ling Hong nodded heavily and said.

Yuan Zhou lowered his head and took a look at the shelf at the side, which was filled with the precious gifts from the customers. Almost without hesitation, Yuan Zhou said,””I’ll be free soon. Can I prepare a wedding banquet for you and Xiao Qing?”

After saying that, Yuan Zhou frowned slightly and touched his forehead, saying again,””This way, I can save on the money.”

Yuan Zhou felt that his question was too serious, thus he hurriedly added a reason.

On the other side, Ling Hong said cooperatively,””That won’t do. You’re saving on cooking, but you can’t be stingy with Xiaoya’s share.”

“Um … Okay, I’ll pay for her.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Hahaha, okay. I’ll be waiting for you to give me a big red packet then.” Ling Hong said with a bright smile.

“I will,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly.

“Actually, I want to hold a big one, but Xiao Qing said it’s not necessary. She doesn’t like it to be too crowded, so she only wants to invite her close friends and family.” Ling Hong sighed and said.

“That’s good too. It’s too tiring with so many people. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“Yeah, I’m too tired.” Ling Hong said.

“When do you plan to get married?” Yuan Zhou didn’t mention that he was tired, but asked directly.

“Come directly to the banquet three days later.” Ling Hong paused for a while and then continued,”but you have to come earlier. You’ll be the host. After all, you’ve just agreed to it.”

Ling Hong’s tone was as if he was taking advantage of Yuan Zhou, which made Yuan Zhou unable to laugh.

“Okay, I just checked the calendar. Three days later is a good day for marriage. It’s an auspicious day.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Of course, this is a good day for me. If it wasn’t for the fact that tomorrow and the day after aren’t so good, I would have held a wedding banquet tomorrow and told everyone that Xiao Qing is my wife.” Ling Hong said in high spirits.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou answered lightly and didn’t say anything more.

“Then I’ll get someone to send you an invitation tomorrow. I’ll also say it in the main group.” Ling Hong said.

“Alright, I’ll wait for the invitation.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“Sleep early.” After saying that, Ling Hong hung up the phone first.

“Du, du, du.” The phone buzzed twice and then the screensaver was automatically restored. It was a photo of Yin ya holding a glass of red wine. Together with the afternoon sunlight, it made Yin ya look beautiful and warm.

“I hope everything will get better.” Yuan Zhou stroked Yin ya’s photo gently and sighed.

Actually, Ling Hong’s phone call came suddenly and late, but Yuan Zhou didn’t ask anything. He just answered readily and even proposed to hold a wedding banquet.

It was only because Yuan Zhou wanted to do so.

“Speaking of which, the group is probably going to be lively soon.” Yuan Zhou unlocked his phone and began to peep at the screen silently.

Just as Yuan Zhou had said, although it was already late at night, the people in the group were still blown out by Ling Hong’s Red Notice.

Although the people in the group weren’t clear about ruan Xiaoqing’s condition, they didn’t ask about it out of consideration. They just congratulated Ling Hong and looked forward to Yuan Zhou’s wedding banquet.

“Little ya didn’t come out. She must be asleep.” After peeking at the phone screen for quite a while, Yuan Zhou came to such a conclusion. Then, he turned off the phone and prepared to go to sleep.

In the early morning, Yuan Zhou woke up one minute before the alarm clock rang. He turned off the alarm clock at once and then got up to wash up.

Nowadays, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t go to the toilet with his eyes closed after waking up in the morning. After all, he had been used to sleeping late and waking up early for a long time.

After washing up, Yuan Zhou changed into his sportswear and went downstairs to start his morning run.

“Morning, boss Yuan.”

“Good Morning. Boss Yuan has become more handsome again.”

“Good Morning, boss Yuan.”

“Hehe, Good Morning, uncle Yuan.”

As Yuan Zhou ran past them, the neighbors who passed by all greeted Yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhou also nodded his head in response to them one by one.

Then, a familiar person joined Yuan Zhou’s morning run. It was none other than Xia Yu.

“Good Morning, boss Yuan,” Xia Yu greeted him with a smile.

“Yes, morning.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he habitually moved two steps away from Xia Yu.

It couldn’t be helped. Xia Yu was even taller than Yuan Zhou. As a Prince Charming, he naturally couldn’t let others find out that he wasn’t even as tall as a girl.

Xia Yu could now follow Yuan Zhou to run the whole course and even do more exercise than Yuan Zhou because she had basically recovered recently.

Soon, the two of them ran to the small path below Xia Yu’s house.

“Hey, daughter.” Xia Yu turned around when she heard her father’s greeting.

Xia Yu’s parents were both standing on the path and looking at her and Yuan Zhou.

“Hello. You must be boss Yuan, right?” Xia Yu’s father greeted Yuan Zhou politely and respectfully.

It was out of respect. After Xia Yu’s father heard of Yuan Zhou’s name, he earnestly inquired about Yuan Zhou and came to the conclusion that his daughter’s current recovery was definitely related to Yuan Zhou.

That was why he was so respectful.

“Yes, Hello.” Yuan Zhou slowed down his steps and said with a nod.

“Boss Yuan, you’re really young and promising. You’re a famous person in the American Medical field.” Xia Yu’s father could not help but ask.

“Thank you for the compliment.” Although Yuan Zhou didn’t understand the joke that he was a famous person in the medical field of the United States, it didn’t stop him from thanking her with a serious expression.

“That’s not a compliment. There are so many reports about you over there now. ” Xia Yu’s mother nodded.

“Thank you,” he said. Yuan Zhou thanked him earnestly.

“Alright, we won’t stop you from running. You guys can continue, continue.” Xia Yu’s father pulled his wife aside and made way for her.

“Alright, see you next time.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then started to run.

Naturally, Xia Yu also went with them. However, she felt a little embarrassed now. After all, her parents had disturbed Yuan Zhou just now.

“I’m sorry. My parents have disturbed you, boss Yuan. ” Xia Yu took a deep breath and apologized.

“It’s fine, it’s not considered a disturbance. ” Yuan Zhou shook his head.

“Thank you,” he said. Xia Yu said.

This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t answer her. He just jogged earnestly. In fact, he was thinking about the medical field of the United States that Xia Yu’s father had mentioned just now.

“Looking at that person’s expression, he didn’t get the wrong person. He’s pretty sure that the famous person in the medical field is me.” Yuan Zhou thought seriously.

“Did I conquer the United States medical community without my knowledge?” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help muttering inwardly.

Suddenly, the system appeared and a line of familiar words appeared to make its presence known.

The system displayed,[this system is the master chef system.]

“…” Yuan Zhou said,”I know. I’m talking about my cooking skills.”

“I’ll go back and look for it. How can there be reports praising me without me knowing? this is a sign that they don’t have a deep understanding of their own cooking skills.” While thinking that, Yuan Zhou slowly ran back to the back alley and prepared to end today’s morning run.

Although he said he was going to check the news about him in the United States, Yuan Zhou, who had been busy as soon as he entered the restaurant, really didn’t have the time for a while.

Apart from opening the restaurant, Yuan Zhou also started to make the wedding banquet menu after receiving the invitation card. It was also a very cumbersome work.

Two days passed by in a flash. Soon, it was time for the wedding banquet agreed upon by Ling Hong.

Early in the morning, Yuan Zhou set off for the hotel that Ling Hong had booked. The hotel was very close to the private hospital where Yuan Zhou and Yin ya often went to see ruan Xiaoqing. It took about 10 minutes to walk there.

When Yuan Zhou went there, he first went to pick up Yin ya. It was barely dawn and it was just 4:00 in the morning.

Naturally, it was Yin ya who drove and took Yuan Zhou to the hotel.

At that time, Ling Hong was already there. He was responsible for leading Yuan Zhou and Yin ya to the kitchen and then left in a hurry.

Although it was a little rude, Yuan Zhou and Yin ya didn’t mind.

There were actually only three tables in the wedding banquet today. Yuan Zhou only needed to prepare one main table. But in fact, when he heard that there were only three tables, Yuan Zhou told Ling Hong that he would be in charge of the wedding banquet.

Therefore, all the dishes on the three tables were cooked by Yuan Zhou.

As soon as he arrived, Yuan Zhou started to prepare. Apart from the ingredients prepared by the hotel, Yuan Zhou also brought some main ingredients.

Yuan Zhou picked up Yin ya at 4 am and then took her to the hotel. After washing up, Yuan Zhou started to prepare the ingredients at 5 am.

Even for Yuan Zhou, as he was alone and the banquet prepared this time was a little special, it was already 11 O’ clock at noon when the banquet was ready.

Of course, Yuan Zhou made breakfast for himself, Yin ya, Ling Hong, ruan Xiaoqing and Wu Hai during the meal.

How could there be no place with food without Wu Hai? Wu Hai directly slept in this hotel last night.

Their purpose was naturally for Yuan Zhou’s breakfast and lunch, as well as to congratulate Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing on their marriage.

Yuan Zhou was naturally very tired after cooking two meals at the same time with special requirements. Even Yin ya, who had been accompanying him at the side, felt a little heartache.

After Yuan Zhou washed his hands, he untied the apron and handed a hot towel to Yuan Zhou to wipe his face.

“Wipe your face, you’ll feel better.” Yin ya said.

“Yes.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou took it and started to wipe it.

After that, Yin ya took the towel, washed it, and put it away. Only then did Yuan Zhou say,””Let’s go over. Most of the people should be here already. I’ve already arranged for people to serve the dishes.”

“Alright, I’ve gone to see Xiao Qing. She’s very good today and beautiful.” Yin ya said.

“That’s good. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine. ” Yin ya held Yuan Zhou’s hand and said softly.

“Yes, you’re right.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and held Yin ya’s hand tightly.

Just like that, the two of them held hands and went to the banquet hall reserved by Ling Hong.

Sure enough, most of the people in the banquet hall had arrived.

For example, grandfather Ling and his Secretary, Ling Hong’s parents whom he met for the first time, ruan Xiaoqing’s parents and family, and the familiar customers in the restaurant.

There weren’t many people, and they could easily fill up three tables.

As soon as Yuan Zhou and Yin ya entered the restaurant, Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing, who were dressed in bright red, came to greet them.

“You’ve worked hard. ” Ruan Xiaoqing said gently.

“It’s nothing, I’m just trying to save some money. ” Yuan Zhou joked primly.

“That’s right. We’re just trying to get a bargain. Congratulations.” Yin ya congratulated him sincerely.

“Thank you. Actually, you don’t need to pay for the meal between boss Yuan and Xiaoya.” Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes. My wife is right.” Ling Hong chimed in at the side with a silly smile.

At first, ruan Xiaoqing felt a little embarrassed when she heard Ling Hong addressing her like that. But after hearing it so many times just now, she had become somewhat immune to it. She just rolled her eyes at Ling Hong and then led Yuan Zhou and Yin ya to find a seat.

Yuan Zhou and Yin ya naturally sat in the main seats, which included the family members of Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing, as well as Wu Hai, Jiang Changxi and the others.

Apart from Ling Hong’s parents and ruan Xiaoqing’s parents, whom Yuan Zhou met for the first time, they were all acquaintances. Therefore, it wasn’t awkward at all. They all greeted each other with a smile. Then, Yuan Zhou led Yin ya to sit down.

During the process, Yuan Zhou could clearly see that Ling Hong’s mother was looking at Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing from time to time with a secret worry. However, Yuan Zhou didn’t say much. He just held Yin ya’s hand tightly.

On the other side, a foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes walked in.

Ruan Xiaoqing and Ling Hong immediately went up to him. Yuan Zhou also knew this man. He was Manion, who often brought his friends here for meals a while ago.

Every time after the meal, Manion would reveal a bright smile to Yuan Zhou and thank him earnestly.

But this time, he brought a gift box and walked into the banquet hall alone.
