The weather in Chengdu was sweltering in the middle of August. Therefore, Yin ya turned on the air conditioner as soon as she got in the car. However, it was still a little hot in the car.
Seeing Yuan Zhou sitting on the passenger seat obediently, the helplessness in Yin ya's heart disappeared. She took the initiative to say,""Are You Hot? there's some water beside you. Have some."
"I'm not hot. Little ya, Are You Hot?" Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
"I'm not hot. I'm afraid you'll be hot. " Yin ya said.
"I'm used to staying in the kitchen every day, so this is not considered hot. " Yuan Zhou said as if he was used to it.
However, these words that she was used to made Yin ya's heart ache a little. She immediately said,"Why don't you rest for a few days? I saw the weather forecast say that there will be high temperature warnings for the next three days. It will be very hot."
"No need. There's an air conditioner in the kitchen now. It's always at a constant temperature, so it's not that hot." Yuan Zhou said. He had always been very confident in the black technology of the system.
"I know there's air-conditioning now, but it's definitely not cool to be by the stove all the time. Don't get a heat stroke." Yin ya turned her head and said to Yuan Zhou while the traffic light was turning red and green.
"I'm fine. Don't worry, Xiaoya. " Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and patted Yin ya's hand and said comfortingly.
"Alright then, don't tire yourself out." Yin ya nodded her head. Just as the traffic light turned green and the red light turned red, she started to drive towards Taoxi road again.
"Sometimes, I really wish you weren't so compass." Yin ya muttered softly.
With his sharp hearing, Yuan Zhou naturally heard that. He said gently,""Then I'm not your block of wood."
Yin ya's face blushed and she didn't say anything. She just drove more seriously.
Yuan Zhou also turned his head towards Yin ya's direction and closed his eyes to rest. After all, he got up too early today and was a little tired.
It was because the wedding banquet this time wasn't that simple. It could be said that Yuan Zhou had already prepared all the dishes that were good for ruan Xiaoqing.
Seeing Yuan Zhou close his eyes, Yin ya slowed down the car slightly and turned the air conditioner to another direction in case it blew directly on Yuan Zhou. Then, she drove away smoothly.
As Yuan Zhou was resting with his eyes closed, it took Yin ya 20 minutes longer than the morning before she arrived at the underground parking lot of Taoxi road.
By the way, Yuan Zhou had already bought a parking space in the garage so that Yin ya's car could have a parking space every time.
And now Yin ya was parking in her exclusive parking space. The happiness of the rich was so simple and plain.
"We're here. " Yin ya extinguished the fire and said softly.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, little ya." Yuan Zhou immediately opened his eyes and said quite clearly.
"Sometimes, I wonder if you're really asleep. Why do you look so awake when you open your eyes?" Yin ya asked curiously.
"I just took a short nap. I didn't fall asleep." Yuan Zhou answered honestly.
"Alright, let's go to the shop." Yin ya said.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then unbuckled his seat belt and got off the car. He waited for Yin ya to lock the car and then they left together.
Naturally, the people they met on the way would greet Yuan Zhou and Yin ya enthusiastically.
Although it was the hottest afternoon in Chengdu, there were still a lot of people. Therefore, Yuan Zhou took Yin ya back to the back alley decisively.
Of course, they had to pass by that garbage disposal station if they went to the back alley. Yin ya looked at that place carefully and found no one there. However, she couldn't help looking back again after she had passed by that place and still found no one there.
Only then did he follow Yuan Zhou to the restaurant.
Yuan Zhou took Yin ya into the pub through the back door. As soon as he entered the pub, the roses planted on the day of the confession were in full bloom facing the sun, looking very magnificent and colorful.
"The flowers are growing really well." Yin ya said with a smile.
"If you like it, I'll get you some flower shears. You can cut some and put them in your room." Yuan Zhou said immediately.
"It's okay, I can come over every day. " Yin ya said.
"Yes, I can do it every day." Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly.
"Alright, let's stop being cheeky. Didn't you say that you wanted me to translate a few medical reports from United States?" Yin ya said.
"Yes, it's a report about my food, so I want to take a look." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said earnestly.
"Okay. Although I rarely translate medical books, I have no problem with food." Yin ya said with full confidence.
"I believe you." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then led Yin ya to the small table where they usually drank.
"You rest for a while, I'll go get something." Yuan Zhou pressed Yin ya down on the seat and then stood up to prepare.
First of all, he naturally served the desserts and cold white tea that were prepared in the morning on the table and let Yin ya have some snacks first. Then, he went to sober up and prepare the red wine that she would drink later. Only after that did he bring along a whole set of translation tools that Yin ya usually left here.
That's right. As he had gotten up so early in the morning, Yuan Zhou had even prepared some snacks for Yin ya to eat in the afternoon.
"I'll get started then. I'll print it out once it's translated. That way, you'll be able to read the text version and won't have to waste your time." Yin ya said.
"It's been hard on Xiaoya. Have some snacks. " While saying that, Yuan Zhou fed a small snack to Yin ya.
"It's not hard. You can go and study the ancient books. I'll be quick." Yin ya swallowed the snack and then said.
"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"I've just looked through it. Many reports have Chinese versions, but there are no comments. I won't translate those that have Chinese versions and will just translate the comments below for you. For those that don't have Chinese versions, I'll send you the articles and comments." Yin ya said.
"This is fine, don't work too hard." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Don't worry, I won 't. " Yin ya nodded her head and then lowered her head to translate.
Yin ya soon got into the mood. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, couldn't help staring at Yin ya for a long time. Only then did he stand up quietly and prepare to take the ancient book to study the dishes.
Just after Yuan Zhou stood up and left, Yin ya raised her head and took a look at him. Then, she lowered her head and continued to translate the documents.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was as harmonious as ever. Even though there were only the two of them, it felt like time was peaceful.
As soon as Yuan Zhou walked past the Begonia tree and entered the restaurant through the Sergestes wall landscape, he opened the door at once.
Yuan Zhou didn't have the system to control the temperature during the stipulated business hours anymore. Now, he had it all the time.
Therefore, as soon as the small shops opened, the area near the entrance instantly became cooler.
After he opened the door, nobody came in as it wasn't the business time. This was also a tacit understanding between the customers. They didn't come in during the business time to disturb Yuan Zhou. But soon, more and more people sat on the chairs provided by the queuing Committee to cool down.
This was Yuan Zhou's original purpose. Therefore, he directly went upstairs to get the ancient books after he opened the door.
Even when he brought it to the courtyard to have a look, Yuan Zhou still carefully put it in a wooden box instead of taking it down directly.
"Ta ta ta." As Yuan Zhou went downstairs, a series of questions sounded.
"Hello. Is boss Yuan here?" An old voice came from the entrance of the shop.
Yuan Zhou quickened his pace and came to the partition of the kitchen. He then saw an old man in ordinary clothes standing at the door.
The man was wearing a gray-blue shirt, a pair of short suit pants, and a pair of black leather sandals. His hair was all white, and he was looking carefully into the shop.
When he saw Yuan Zhou, his eyes lit up and he asked with a smile,""Little brother, is your boss, boss Yuan, in?"
That's right. The old man didn't know Yuan Zhou yet. He asked Yuan Zhou if boss Yuan was there.
"I'm the boss you're talking about. If you have anything to say, you can come in and talk. " Yuan Zhou said gently.
"So you are boss Yuan. You are really young and promising. Young and promising." The old man immediately said with a smile.
At the same time, he also followed Yuan Zhou's words and walked into the restaurant.
"Did I disturb you by coming here so rashly?" After the old man entered the room, he asked somewhat uneasily.
"No, I don't know why you're looking for me." Seeing the old man's hunched back, the beads of sweat on his forehead, and his dry lips, Yuan Zhou poured a glass of water and handed it to him without saying anything.
"Thank you. Thank you so much for the water, boss Yuan. How much is it? I can pay you if I have money." The old man didn't stand on ceremony, but his other hand began to take out money from a small bag.
"No, it's just plain water." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"I'm so sorry. You're a businessman. How can you not charge me?" The old man shook his head and insisted on paying.
"It's just a glass of water. It's free. " Yuan Zhou refused again. Before the old man could say anything, he continued asking,""Is there something you need from me? You haven't said anything yet. "
"Oh, oh, right, there's serious business." The old man stopped taking out the money and nodded.
"There's no hurry. Have some water. " Yuan Zhou said.
Obviously, the old man in front of him was quite old. He even forgot to drink water while talking. Only then did Yuan Zhou remind him.
After the old man drank the water, he said with a smile without waiting for Yuan Zhou to ask,""Boss Yuan, just like what little stone said, the water here is very good."
"Is there something you need from me?" Yuan Zhou didn't bring up the matter of water again, but asked again.
"Yes, I have something to do. I haven't introduced myself yet. Actually, I came to the big bank in the city today to handle some business, but I thought I'd have to go to your place first before going to the bank." The old man said.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he was listening carefully.
"By the way, little stone is the little fatty who used to come here for meals. I'm his father." Only then did the old man remember that he hadn't said who he was and hurriedly said,"
"You're talking about boss Shi, manager Shi, right?" Yuan Zhou instantly thought of the big boss who used to come here often and the person who came to say goodbye to him after he went bankrupt.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's the kid." Old Shi nodded.
"That kid has become rich again. It's a good thing that he's willing to give me money to mail it. Therefore, I have to come here to thank you, boss Yuan. That kid has said that it's all up to you to educate him." Old man Shi was a little incoherent when he spoke, but Yuan Zhou still caught the main point.
"If I may ask, who are you sending the money to? Are there many?" With a solemn expression, Yuan Zhou had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's not much, just a million. " Old man Shi waved his hand.
"There's quite a lot. Who are you sending it to? Does manager Shi know about this?" While asking, Yuan Zhou was thinking whether he had the phone number of manager Shi.
Because it looked like the person in front of him had been deceived.
"I know. That kid just got enlightened this year. That's why he asked me to send this. I like doing this kind of thing. Besides, this is a good thing. It's a good deed that can accumulate merit." Old man Shi rambled on.
"Manager Shi knew that you were going to send one million Yuan?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"Yeah, that kid knows that this is only the first stroke. There are more to come." Old man Shi nodded.
Could it be that both father and son had been deceived? Yuan Zhou was considering the possibility of calling the police.
However, what old man Shi said next dispelled Yuan Zhou's idea.
"We're doing this to build roads. In the early years, the leader said that if you want to be rich, you have to build roads first. Our Shi family is rich, but the village is too poor. Even if we grow good things, we can't sell them. Fortunately, little stone also agrees with my approach. I have to thank you for this, boss Yuan. " Old man Shi continued.
"Repair the road?" Yuan Zhou put down the hand that was about to take the phone and asked.
"That's right. We're building the road just to sell these peaches. Look at the peaches in my hometown. They're big and sweet." Only then did old man Shi take a plastic bag from the ground and show it to Yuan Zhou.
The red plastic bag was half-filled with peaches. Each of them was red and cute, and they were the size of an adult man's fist. They did look good.
"I brought these peaches for you, boss Yuan. Have a taste. They are really sweet." Only then did old man Shi remember this matter. He hurriedly lifted it up and wanted to give it to Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou immediately opened the partition and walked out to catch the peach with both hands,""You're welcome. I didn't do anything. "
What Yuan Zhou said was the truth. After he had digested the whole matter, he totally didn't understand why manager Shi's father specially thanked him for the sake of peace. It seemed that the whole matter had nothing to do with him.
He took the peach because he couldn't bear to see the old man mention it too heavily.
"Of course. Thanks to you, boss Yuan, little stone finally understood that he can't be rich alone," Old man Shi continued,"before we came here, little stone told us that it was you who developed this place. The entire Taoxi road is counting on you. And he also understood that even if you are rich, you have to influence others."
"Since the beginning of the year, little stone has been using money to repair the roads and tidy up the land. That's why the peaches are growing better and better, and there are sales." Old man Shi said with a smile.
"You mean you and manager Shi have been supporting the construction of your hometown?" Yuan Zhou said.
"Yes, our place is poor, but it's much better now. Little stone said that he wanted to build a second place like Taoxi road to drive the development of our place." Old man Shi said.
"You two are very powerful." Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
"No, we're not awesome. Boss Yuan, you're awesome. I know this place wasn't so good before. But now, it's so magnificent and beautiful. I know it's all thanks to you, boss Yuan. I've been asking around and they're all praising you." Old man Shi gave Yuan Zhou a thumbs up.
"Thank you for the peaches." Yuan Zhou was a little nervous in the heart, but it soon became his motivation and he thanked her earnestly.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. This peach is really sweet. Boss Yuan, please have a taste. " Old man Shi said again.
"I will. It looks delicious." Yuan Zhou nodded his head affirmatively.
"Alright, alright, alright. I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave first." Old man Shi waved his hand and turned to leave.
However, before Yuan Zhou could ask him if he wanted to give him the words, old man Shi turned around and said,""I'll drink the water first, otherwise I'm afraid it will be wasted. Boss Yuan, you don't mind, right?"
Old man Shi pointed to the remaining half cup of water on the curved long table.
"Of course not. Do you need more?" Yuan Zhou said.
"No need, no need. It's enough." Old man Shi finished the water in the cup in one breath, then turned and walked away quickly.
When he entered the door, old man Shi was very careful and slow, but when he left, he was exceptionally fast. Perhaps it was because the bag of heavy peaches was gone.
Yuan Zhou didn't even have the time to ask if he wanted to leave before he left quickly.
"Thank you," he said. Yuan Zhou walked to the door and looked at old man Shi under the sunlight and then thanked him softly.
