CHAPTER 797: CHAPTER 403: SWAP SPACE

Su Qian’s communication efficiency was incredibly fast. That very evening, Qin Huai received a text from Su Qian, informing him that Zhiwei Restaurant could arrange the exchange as early as the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow.

Qin Huai was stunned when he heard this specific timing.

It’s important to know that this kind of exchange is not just a simple program to visit another city for two or three months of training.

Qin Huai is not an ordinary apprentice; he’s a Master. When he goes to Zhiwei Restaurant, he will surely be treated as such. Zhiwei Restaurant would need to arrange a special cooking station for him, contact suppliers for the snacks he excels at, and also solve a series of problems and minor issues that Qin Huai couldn’t even imagine.

Most importantly, Zhiwei Restaurant was very considerate in arranging accommodation, so there was no need to rent a place. Boss Su had several vacant houses near Zhiwei Restaurant for Qin Huai to choose from.

He could pick whichever house he wanted to stay in; Su Qian had sent him the pictures. They were definitely unedited, straight from the original images.

Even Huang Ji couldn’t match such high efficiency in handling matters.

When Qin Huai received this news, it was evening, and the day after tomorrow meant that Zhiwei Restaurant might be giving him a day to pack and depart. If Qin Huai had received the news in the morning, he suspected that Zhiwei Restaurant might have said they could arrange it for the next day.

Qin Huai didn’t immediately give a definite response to Su Qian, but instead asked Su Qian if it was possible to delay for a few days if he couldn’t make it to Hangzhou the day after tomorrow. From Su Qian’s tone, Qin Huai could tell that Zhiwei Restaurant’s exchange business was very busy.

Qin Huai suspected that Zhiwei Restaurant’s exchanges might have been booked in advance, with a tight schedule. There were specific days with no available slots, and specific days when they could free up time. The day after tomorrow just happened to be open, so Su Qian used his connections to book an urgent slot for him.

After twenty minutes, Su Qian informed Qin Huai that it was acceptable, and the Boss hoped Qin Huai could go to Zhiwei Restaurant as soon as possible. Next month, Zhiwei Restaurant’s exchange matters would be extremely busy, and Boss Su also wanted to reserve more time for Qin Huai.

Qin Huai was very touched and told Su Qian that he would discuss it with everyone tomorrow and then give an answer.

So, the next day Qin Huai arrived at the kitchen early, first making a batch of beautiful Four Happiness Rolls without any cloud patterns, then shaking some lotus root powder balls, kneading chicken soup noodles according to the headcount, and in the middle sparing time for a breakfast review fed by everyone from Zhiwei Restaurant. Finally, when Tan Wei’an and others were slurping chicken soup noodles, he announced this bombshell news.

"The day after tomorrow?!" Tan Wei’an’s shocked voice nearly pierced the sky, and the noodles he was about to eat almost flew out of his mouth, "Do you mean I have to go back the day after tomorrow?"

Qin Huai gently corrected Tan Wei’an’s language flaw: "To be precise, it’s tomorrow, because I received the news last night."

Tan Wei’an hurriedly swallowed the noodles he had just stuffed into his mouth, afraid they might accidentally come out. He swallowed too quickly and nearly choked to death, quickly gulping down several sips of soup, coughing it off to catch his breath.

He performed a complete solo act.

"Do I have to go back to work so soon?!" Tan Wei’an’s face was filled with despair, and in desperation, he took another big bite of chicken soup noodles and gulped down more soup.

There was no joy of returning to a familiar place, only despair over the imminent high-intensity work.

It was evident that at Zhiwei Restaurant, Tan Wei’an couldn’t slack off like he did outside.

Qin Huai: ...

Qin Huai started to reflect on whether he did harm by specifically asking Tan Wei’an and Guli to come to Yunzhong Restaurant for exchange. Although Qin Huai now understood that sometimes one shouldn’t be too tense and should avoid blindly forcing oneself to practice snacks and increase skill level, sometimes, a little relaxation is nice, but one also shouldn’t be too relaxed.

It’s about having a sense of ease, not about doing nothing at all.

Tan Wei’an was a bit too carefree these days.

Qin Huai was still thinking about the feasibility of going to Zhiwei Restaurant for the exchange tomorrow. The earlier he went back, the sooner Tan Wei’an could end his vacation and get back on track.

However, at this moment, what Qin Huai really wanted to ask wasn’t Tan Wei’an, but Zheng Siyuan.

Qin Huai looked at Zheng Siyuan, who was calmly eating his noodles: "Si Yuan, what’s your plan? Are you planning to come with us to Zhiwei Restaurant, stay at Huang Ji, or go back to your pastry shop?"

Zheng Siyuan chose D between A, B, and C.

"I want to go back to Yunzhong Restaurant," Zheng Siyuan said.

Qin Huai & Tan Wei’an & Master Zang & Dong Shi who was eating melon: "Huh?"

"What about me?" Zang Liang was bewildered, "Qin Huai is going to Zhiwei Restaurant, Tan Wei’an will definitely go back too, Zheng Siyuan is going to Yunzhong Restaurant, my Master hasn’t come back yet, I... I’ll stay at Huang Ji?"

By the time he finished speaking, even Zang Liang himself hesitated.

Zang Liang’s words left Dong Shi completely puzzled. He wondered if he hadn’t woken up yet, otherwise, how could he hear such absurd words.

Qin Huai goes to Zhiwei Restaurant, Zang Liang stays at Huang Ji, Zheng Siyuan goes to Yunzhong Restaurant—what kind of swap is this?

Oh no, there’s one person’s location that’s correct. Tan Wei’an is about to return to his loyal Zhiwei Restaurant, but this sole person going to the right place looks like he wants to die the most.

Dong Shi’s brain shut down.

In this calm chaos, only Qin Huai barely maintained his composure.

Qin Huai first looked at Dong Shi, found him unimportant, then looked at Tan Wei’an, and found him unimportant too.

Next, he turned his gaze to the evidently babbling Zang Liang and asked, "Why hasn’t Master Zang come back yet?"
