Chapter 71 - The Legendary French Cuisine (3)

Truth be told, it quite ruin her fairy-like image going to a movie with all her plastic bags. It’s all the better if the boss was willing to do that for her. Yan Shuyu didn’t feel a shred of guilt. A cola in hand, she walked in front of the boss in a carefree manner, turning occasionally to grab a couple of popcorn to pop into her mouth. She couldn’t be any happier.

They walked all the way up to the ticket check before she realized that both of the boss’s hands were occupied and couldn’t provide the tickets to the worker. This was when Yan Shuyu nicely and matter-of-factly took the tickets from the boss and handed it over to the worker, accepted the 3D glasses, and walked down the hallway with a smile on her.

Through the entire process, Yan Shuyu was busy with eating and drinking and didn’t talk to the boss at all. But that didn’t bother Zhou Qinhe at all. With a slight smile on him, he followed behind her at her pace.

The movie was a little over two hours long and Yan Shuyu enjoyed the movie thoroughly and her popcorn even more so. She ate over half of the bucket. If she wasn’t thinking about a big dinner later, she could probably finish up the entire bucket.

As she had so much fun, she naturally felt that the boss also made a good buddy. He didn’t make a lot of fuss during the movie nor did he fight over the popcorn with her. How nice was that? Granted, that would be the first and last time that she went to a movie with the boss. Yan Shuyu didn’t think or want to be so unlucky as to run into him again next time she went to a movie.

Walking out of the theater, Yan Shuyu was already planning on bidding the boss goodbye. 

But before she could get a word out, Zhou Qinhe looked at the time and said to her, “It’s already 6:30, what would you like to get for dinner?”

Perhaps, the boss felt that the distance between them had shortened, and that they were friends now that they had watched a movie together. He straight up skipped the asked part altogether and directly asked her what she wanted for dinner.

Unfortunately, that trick worked very well on Yan Shuyu. As soon as the boss had finished asking, Yan Shuyu’s eyes immediately started to look around faithfully and stopped at the French restaurant kitty-corner to them before her brain was even able to process the message. 

Manger Yang had mentioned this restaurant yesterday when they were talking about going shopping. He said this was one of the more authentic French restaurants that one could find in the country. The ingredients were flown in, and the service was also quite good. The only knock on it was that the pricing was exceptionally high, at 4-digit per person. Even a relatively rich man like Yang Zifeng hurt a little when he went that one time. The price point was definitely too high for Yan Shuyu and her buddies.

Sadly, even in her past life, her family was doing just okay in a second to third tier city. They weren’t poor but also weren’t the wealthiest. As such, she had never had the legendary French cuisine her entire life. Now that the boss had offered to take her out for dinner, the loser Yan Shuyu was not able to peel her eyes away from the French restaurant.
