Although Zhang Yan disliked Zhou Shijie, after trying all 10 restaurants, Yuan Zhou's bravery and cooking skills had conquered his taste buds.
Moreover, since Yuan Zhou was still so young, Zhang Yan was able to let go of his prejudice against Yuan Zhou. After that, his satisfaction toward Yuan Zhou grew.
Thus, he put a lot of effort when introducing Yuan Zhou to the people around him. Even before the award conferment, he was already echoing what Zhou Shijie and the others were saying about Yuan Zhou.
After done with all the introductions and conventional greetings, Yuan Zhou felt like leaving. After all, he had something important to do, and it would be even better if he could do that today.
"Chairman Zhang, I still need to open the restaurant tonight," Yuan Zhou said.
