As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store - Chapter 695
Chapter 695: The Five Great Avenues
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The comic performance lasted until ten o’clock in the evening before finally concluding. At the moment of curtain call, thunderous applause filled the entire teahouse, indicating the considerable success of Deshe’s performance!
When the curtain fell, Lao Guo’s face blossomed into a smile like a flower, clearly pleased to have gained face in front of the hometown folks.
Zhou Chao was chatting with Jiang Li about the funny moments just now when they heard a knock on the private room door.
Lin Wu sitting nearby quickly got up to open the door,
The visitor was none other than Lao Guo, who seemed to have hurried over after the performance ended.
“Young Master Zhou!” Lao Guo greeted enthusiastically as soon as he entered the room.
“Long time no see, Lao Guo. Why didn’t you chat with your colleagues and came over to me instead? It wouldn’t be good if they misunderstood!”
Today, many renowned comedians from Tianjin came to listen to the comic performance. Zhou Chao thought Lao Guo would come to see him after sending those people away, but he didn’t expect this.
“I let Yu Qian take care of them. He’s more suitable than me! You know, many people in this business don’t like me!”
Lao Guo didn’t beat around the bush and straightforwardly explained. Compared to those colleagues, Zhou Chao held a much higher position in his heart.
Zhou Chao glanced meaningfully at Lao Guo and nodded slightly, “It’s getting late. Let’s have a meal together. Our stomachs are growling!”
Although there were many snacks and fruits in the private room, they couldn’t fill their stomachs, especially since Lin Wu had eaten most of the snacks.
“Young Master Zhou, let me arrange this meal. As a local from Tianjin, it wouldn’t be right for me to let you handle it!” Lao Guo patted his chest and said.
“Sure!” Zhou Chao didn’t care much about who was treating. The key was to taste the delicious food. As a true Tianjin native, Lao Guo should have plenty of experience in this regard.
Lao Guo then gave some instructions to Xiao Yuanyuan and others before leading Zhou Chao and Lin Wu out.
As they reached the door, Lao Guo patted his head, seemingly remembering something. He quickly asked, “Young Master Zhou, did you drive here to Tianjin?”
“We drove a camper!”
Lao Guo nodded and took out a car key from his pocket, “Young Master Zhou, you can drive my car. It’s just a bit lower in grade!”
“Grade doesn’t matter. As long as it can drive!” Zhou Chao said nonchalantly.
Lin Wu took the key and pressed a button, seeing a few flashes not far away, indicating that the car was Lao Guo’s!
Just then, Yu Qian came out of the teahouse with several apprentices.
Seeing Zhou Chao and others, Yu Qian smiled and said, “Long time no see, I really missed you!”
“I’m afraid you’re not missing me, but my bars!” Zhou Chao jokingly responded.
Lao Guo and Sun Yue and others laughed. They were all clear about Yu Qian’s intentions, as they all had their eyes on Zhou Chao’s good wine!
“How is that possible? I definitely miss you, not the good wine in your cellar!” Yu Qian quickly explained, but his choked throat betrayed him!
Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile, not continuing to expose Yu Qian’s words, which would only make everyone feel awkward.
“Let’s go, it’s getting late. If we go later, we might not get a table!” Lao Guo stepped forward and said.
Zhou Chao and others didn’t dawdle and got into their respective cars.
Lao Guo sat in Yu Qian’s car at the front, followed by Zhou Chao and Xiaoyucyue driving two cars behind.
After about twenty minutes of driving, the front car stopped by the roadside.
“The time is a bit late for dinner, so we’ll have to make do. We used to frequent this restaurant, but I’m not sure if it still suits our taste buds!”
Zhou Chao glanced at the restaurant Lao Guo mentioned. It seemed like the place had been around for quite some time. Through the glass, they could see quite a few people inside, indicating that business was still bustling.
“No problem, as long as the food is good!”
With that, they followed Lao Guo into the restaurant.
As soon as they entered, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the boss greeted them. He seemed to have a good relationship with Lao Guo, and the two shook hands with smiles.
Zhou Chao also surveyed the restaurant’s decoration and layout. It was simple but seeing the happy faces of the diners, it was evident that the food here was good.
The boss even specially arranged a large private room.
As the saying goes, “the guest is the master.” Initially, Lao Guo wanted to order some dishes for Zhou Chao, but Zhou Chao directly waved his hand to refuse. Seeing this, Lao Guo could only take the menu and order quite a few dishes.
What surprised Zhou Chao was that although the restaurant didn’t look big, they had a wide variety of dishes, from home-style dishes to various grilled skewers and seafood dishes. They had it all!
Perhaps worried about neglecting Zhou Chao, Lao Guo ordered a table full of dishes.
“Young Master Zhou, how many days are you planning to stay in Tianjin?” After the boss left, Lao Guo smiled and asked.
“It’s hard to say. It mainly depends on what fun things there are to do in Tianjin. If there’s nothing interesting, we might go elsewhere the day after tomorrow! Lao Guo, as a local here, do you have any recommendations for places worth visiting?”
This question caught Lao Guo off guard. As someone who was completely focused on their career and hadn’t paid much attention to what was happening outside, he really didn’t know any fun places in Tianjin..
