It was a little after six in the evening when Han Zheng drove alone to the Blue Sky Fast Food Main Store.
Erhu quickly relayed this news to Meng Chuyue.
Meng Chuyue smiled and said to the person beside her, "My dad has arrived, Shen Ci, have Muyang go down to meet him."
Shen Ci nodded and went to the fourth-floor classroom to tell Han Muyang in a low voice, "Your dad is here."
Han Muyang was both surprised and pleased, "Really? That’s great. I just knew he wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of your family’s fast food restaurant and would come in person."
He often had his family’s bodyguards deliver all sorts of fast food to Han Zheng.
Shen Ci smiled, "Tell your uncle that if he’s not in a hurry, to stay a bit longer and have dinner with us, as you know, Yueyue’s cooking skills are even better."
"Sure, sure, that’s fine."
Han Muyang saw nothing wrong with Shen Ci’s invitation.
Shen Ci and Zou Xiaojun used to often eat at his house, and besides that, Han Zheng had once browsed the antique street together with Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue.
He went downstairs beaming with joy to find Han Zheng.
Naturally, Han Zheng would not decline. He said with refined grace, "Of course. I came to eat precisely because I wasn’t in a rush. However, it wouldn’t be right for me to come empty-handed. Take the key and get a tin of Da Hong Pao from the car trunk."
Han Muyang happily took the keys to fetch the tea leaves.
Han Zheng did not go upstairs alone but stood in a more discreet spot while waiting for Han Muyang and looked around the fast food restaurant.
He nodded as he looked around.
Yes, Yueyue and Shen Ci are both quite impressive.
The fast-food restaurant was decorated in a way that was both trendy and practical, even better than those in future generations.
Now, the wealthy and influential in Hai City loved to patronize the Blue Sky Fast Food Restaurant.
It wasn’t that they lacked taste.
It was that rarity creates value, and fast food restaurants in this era were few in the country.
Blue Sky Fast Food Restaurant was the only one in Hai City, not to mention the taste of their Western fast food was even better than abroad.
Therefore, the wealthy and influential customers here were more than usual.
Most of them were business partners with Han Zheng, and some were good friends. They were somewhat surprised to see him but quickly understood.
Although Han Zheng was steadfast by nature, he was still human and couldn’t resist the allure of good food.
Seeing that Han Zheng came alone, they all invited him to join them for a meal.
Han Zheng declined with a smile, "I should have joined you all, but Xiao Wu here is good friends with the owner of this place, and they just invited me to join them. I’ve already agreed. How about we get together another day?"
The others expressed their envy upon hearing this.
"I’ve heard about it; the owner’s cooking skills are really good. Boss Han, you’re so lucky to enjoy such a treat today; I’m quite envious."
"Yeah, so envious of you, Boss Han. If it weren’t for having a family to tend to, I’d be thick-skinned enough to tag along with you for a meal."
While everyone was chatting merrily, Han Muyang came over with the Da Hong Pao and the keys.
Han Zheng smiled, said goodbye to everyone, and made his way to the fifth floor.
Shen Ci had already organized the tutoring class schedule and was now helping Meng Chuyue in the kitchen.
Seeing Han Zheng come up, both of them went over to greet him.
Shen Ci handed Han Zheng a cup of freshly squeezed grape juice, and Meng Chuyue handed him a pair of brand-new slippers.
To be treated this way by his daughter, Han Zheng was nearly moved to tears.
But because he had not yet distributed some people like Han Muchuan and letting Han Muyang know his real relationship with Meng Chuyue could cause a lot of trouble, he composed himself and said, "Thank you, I’m imposing on you today."
Knowing Meng Chuyue was too emotionally stirred to speak, Shen Ci laughed and picked up the conversation, "Uncle, you’re being too polite. Have you forgotten how often I used to eat at your house?"
"I remember, I remember. Oh, and I recall you had a classmate named Zou Xiaojun. Where is he now?"
"He got into Hai City Finance University. It’s a bit far from here, so we don’t get to see each other often, but he comes to visit us during holidays."
"Well, when you have time, be sure to come over to my house with him."
