Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Going Out

Just after finishing the meal, the pork delivery master arrived at the shop.

After Chen Yu and his colleagues had moved the pork and cleaned the shop, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host, perfectly completing a day's business, today's net profit is 188,200 yuan, obtaining 188,200 points, the current total points are 663,480.]

After paying for the pork, Chen Yu deposited the 180,000 yuan into his current account.

He then kept a little over 9,000 yuan on hand as emergency funds.

Chen Yu roughly calculated today's business revenue.

About 20,000 fried cakes, 10,000 vegetable pastries, 2,000 jin of marinated goods, 6,000 pancakes, and 4,000 bowls of noodles were sold.

Compared to before, the sales volume of fried cakes and vegetable pastries indeed dropped a bit, basically returning to the level of the food cart before.

However, the sales volume of vegetable pastries was 4,000 more than when they were sold at the food cart.

Adding the daily sales of beverages, the daily cost is roughly around 54,300 yuan.

If calculated in this way, the average daily net profit could reach 150,000 yuan.

If he could continue to operate stably like this, he could earn a net profit of 4.5 million yuan in a month.

Chen Yu slightly adjusted his emotion, and at this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could open another branch.

He could even buy a set of housing in full payment.

"What are you thinking about? You look so happy!"

Tong Ya suddenly appeared behind Chen Yu, startling him.

"I was just roughly calculating the revenue these days!"

After only a sentence, Chen Yu realized that the six girls and Tang Xiaowei had already left.

"I have something to talk to you about!" Tong Ya suddenly seemed a bit nervous: "There is a dance competition in the next three days, and I have to take Tuan Tuan to the capital."

Lying for the first time in front of someone she liked, she indeed felt a bit panicked.

"Then go!" Chen Yu agreed very readily.

After all, Tong Ya was Tuan Tuan's dance teacher, and moreover, their relationship had grown much closer recently.

Even Chen Yu had the impression that they were a family of three.

Besides, he was accustomed to Tong Ya taking Tuan Tuan to competitions.

Tong Ya was somewhat surprised and didn't react immediately.

"Don't you have anything to ask? Or any instructions?" Tong Ya asked with some uncertainty.

"I trust you with Tuan Tuan! What's there to instruct? But you two must call me each evening to report that you're safe."

Tong Ya giggled: "Alright, then I'll go pack."

Tong Ming's sudden arrival in Suzhou City caught Tong Ya off guard.

Staying in the shop for the upcoming days might result in running into Tong Ming.

She had to think of a way to avoid Tong Ming and still pass muster with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu didn't say anything more, but as he was about to check the inventory in the cold storage, he received a message from Tang Xiaowei.

"Brother Yu, could you bring me some pancakes and marinated food tomorrow morning? I'm going to the nearby mountains for inspiration."

Chen Yu frowned slightly, thinking, why does everyone have to leave in such a hurry?

But he didn't dwell on it.

"Come to the shop before you leave tomorrow morning to pick them up."

After taking inventory in the cold storage, Chen Yu went straight back to his room to sleep.

At four o'clock the next morning, Tong Ya got up early with Tuan Tuan, saying they had to catch the earliest flight.

At six o'clock, Han Cai took some pancakes and marinated goods, rushed out of the door, saying that Tang Xiaowei was in a hurry and might not have time to come to the shop.

Chen Yu couldn't help frowning, suddenly having a bad premonition.

Just as he was about to take out his phone to call Tong Ya, he noticed a message from her.

"These days, I will keep you in my mind every moment, and don't you forget to think of me too!"

Chen Yu's eyebrows twitched, and the bad premonition from earlier vanished completely.

At eight in the morning, a convoy of cars grandly arrived at the shopfront.

Tong Ming entered just like yesterday, surrounded by a group of security guards.

However, today, he seemed to be much more rule-abiding.

After finding an empty table and sitting down, he sent his bodyguard to order food.

Two shrimp dumplings, two fried cakes, two pancakes, and half a pound of marinated meat.

It has to be said, the old gentleman really had a good appetite.

Once the bodyguards had ordered exclusively for Tong Ming, they began their frenzied mode as per his instructions.

Twenty men, two hundred fried cakes, one hundred shrimp dumplings, forty bowls of noodles, and twenty pounds of marinated meat.

Considering they were bodyguards, this wasn't a particularly large amount of food.

But their manner of eating truly intimidated the surrounding customers.

"Delicious! No wonder Mr. Tong came so early."

"I never expected to find such tasty food in such a small city."

"It makes me not want to leave, and I wonder when Mr. Tong's next meeting in Suzhou City will be?"

...

After finishing his food, Tong Ming moved a small stool and sat near the display window.

"Young man, I really appreciate you. Have you considered opening your store in the capital?"

Chen Yu was helpless, this was just another approach to talk about investment.

"Old sir, I need to do well in this small city first, make a name for myself, before I can move to a big city!"

Tong Ming chuckled, "Lads like you are rare these days! By the way, are you married? I have a daughter…"

"Old sir, I'm already divorced, and I have a kid who's five or six years old!"

Chen Yu was somewhat impatient.

His business was essentially on the right track now, and this was the time he least appreciated being disturbed.

Moreover, he didn't know this older gentleman well, and any potential harm coming his way was an unthinkable consequence.

"So what if you've been divorced?" The old man, with a big wave of his hand, affirmed, "These days, men are tested on their perseverance and ability to break new ground. I believe you will definitely find someone better."

These words left Chen Yu quite stunned.

Somehow, he felt a resonance with this old man on many levels.

Gradually, Chen Yu kept busy while chatting with Tong Ming off and on.

Tong Ming's insights on business were exceedingly shrewd; in just half an hour, Chen Yu felt as though he had completed a special course from a business school.

By nine in the morning, Tong Ming bid farewell to Chen Yu and left with his entourage.

By noon, Tong Ming sent one of his bodyguards to order food again.

A day flew by, and although busy and fulfilling, Chen Yu felt something was missing. Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Not until Tong Ya sent several photos of her with Tuan Tuan did he feel somewhat reassured.

At eight in the evening, as the foot traffic dwindled, Chen Yu began to instruct Chu Hong and the others to slowly clean up the shop.

He also made calls to order pork and ingredients.

[Congratulations to the host for perfectly completing a day's business, today's net profit is 188,200 Yuan, earning 188,200 points, with a current total of 851,680 points.]
