Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Parents Arrive

Tuan Tuan had not seen Chen Guang and Li Lan for a very long time.

After playing wildly for a while, Tuan Tuan seemed to remember something and suddenly became quiet.

"Grandpa and Grandma, don't you want to try the food Dad makes? It's delicioust."

When Chen Guang and Li Lan entered the shop, they had already smelled the aroma.

And since the store was so full of customers, the taste must be good.

"Of course!" Li Lan was somewhat impatient.

She also wanted to know what made this shop so popular.

Tuan Tuan nodded his little head and scurried downstairs.

However, Tuan Tuan didn't go to find Chen Yu but instead approached Tong Ya.

"Teacher Tong Ya, quickly make two big bowls of noodles, with some side dishes to be taken upstairs, for important guests," Tuan Tuan said.

Tong Ya didn't think much of it, after all, those heading to the third floor must be Chen Yu's good friends.

She quickly pressed out two bowls of Hele noodles, added some side dishes, and headed upstairs with Tuan Tuan.

"Grandpa and Grandma, the noodles are here!"

Tuan Tuan shouted excitedly and led Tong Ya into the room.

Just as Tong Ya placed the noodles on the table, she realized something.

When Tuan Tuan had called for Grandpa and Grandma, it seemed there was no family name added.

Could it be that the couple sitting on the sofa were Chen Yu's parents!

Chen Guang, attracted by the scent of the noodles, began eating from his bowl right away.

But when Li Lan saw Tong Ya, she paused.

"Wow, what a beautiful girl! Do you work here?"

Tong Ya was startled for a moment, stammering, uncertain of how to reply.

"She's my dance teacher!" Tuan Tuan quickly stepped forward and grabbed Tong Ya's hand.

Tong Ya hurriedly bowed.

"Hello, Uncle and Auntie!"

Li Lan looked puzzled: "Teacher? Then why are you... "

"I'm here helping out because it's the weekend!" Tong Ya explained in a hurry: "It's very busy outside, I'll get going first."

Having said that, Tong Ya left the room somewhat flustered.

Li Lan still hadn't grasped the situation; even if it was the weekend, why would a kindergarten teacher come to the shop to help out with odd jobs!

Tuan Tuan chuckled softly: "Grandma, isn't Teacher Tong Ya pretty?"

Li Lan nodded: "I haven't seen such a good-looking girl before."

"Then, should we have her be my mom?"

Chen Guang, who was beside them, nearly sprayed the noodles out of his mouth.

"Is she your dad's new girlfriend?"

Tuan Tuan shook his head: "No, she's my dad's college classmate!"

A flicker of disappointment crossed Chen Guang's face. If such a beautiful girl were together with his son, he would wake up smiling from his dreams.

"But, Teacher Tong Ya has liked Dad for a long time and is currently pursuing him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guang immediately put down his bowl.

"What, such a pretty girl is interested in your dad?" seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Li Lan also exclaimed in surprise: "Then has your dad agreed or not?"

Tuan Tuan sighed: "Dad is really a blockhead. Teacher Tong Ya has confessed so many times, but he just won't agree."

Li Lan suddenly became indignant: "This kid is really stubborn. Doesn't he know his own situation? To have such a wonderful girl by his side and not to cherish it."

Tuan Tuan found empathy: "Exactly, Teacher Tong Ya is so nice, she dances well, is beautiful, comes over to help Dad unconditionally, and even gave him a mobile phone..."

Tuan Tuan talked as if he was listing all of Chen Yu's misdeeds!

Li Lan stopped eating and was ready to go downstairs right away.

Chen Guang hurriedly stopped her, "It's okay, it's busy downstairs right now, let's ask him again after he's finished with the evening rush."

Li Lan didn't say anything else, and simply picked up her chopsticks to take another bite of noodles.

"I really didn't expect the kid to have this trick up his sleeve!"

Tuan Tuan recounted some more details about Chen Yu and Tong Ya, then dashed downstairs.

By now it was past two o'clock, and the crowd had slowly thinned out.

Tong Ya also found a lull and sat at an empty table to rest.

But her breathing seemed a bit rushed.

After all, the encounter upstairs was almost like meeting the parents, yet she was wearing an apron, not to mention her hair was a bit messy, and she looked a bit dirty all over.

She feared that she had already made a poor first impression on Chen Yu's parents.

"Miss Tong Ya!" Tuan Tuan suddenly shouted, rushing over to her side with great enthusiasm.

"Grandpa and Grandma really like you!"

Tong Ya's eyes widened, the dark cloud lingering in her mind dissipated a bit.

"How do you know?"

Tuan Tuan giggled, "I just told them about you and dad, and they decided to have a good talk with him tonight."

Tong Ya immediately became excited; she had thought that Chen Yu's parents would disdain her because of her appearance.

Now, hearing Tuan Tuan's words, she was suddenly at ease.

"You'd better not be lying to me."

"Don't worry! Miss Tong Ya, it won't be long before I call you mom!"

With that, Tuan Tuan stretched out her little hand and high-fived Tong Ya.

"What are you two chatting about? You seem so happy." Chen Yu came over with a bowl of noodles for Tong Ya: "You've been busy all morning, eat something to fill up first."

Tong Ya didn't speak and just started eating from the bowl.

Before the braised dishes were added, there used to be time for a lunch break at midday.

But now, time was a bit tight, and sometimes they couldn't even have lunch.

So, whenever there was a break, Chen Yu would try to arrange a meal for the employees.

Since there was no lunch break, they should at least have a full meal.

By eight o'clock in the evening, after the braised dishes had sold out, the customer flow in the store had gradually decreased.

The store had been closing around this time for the past two days.

By eight-thirty, after arranging for the employees to have their meal and moving the ordered pork and flour into the cold storage,

Chen Yu called the six girls to head back to their dormitory.

[Congratulations Host, you have perfectly completed a day of business, with a net profit today of 184,200 yuan, earning 184,200 points. Your current total accumulated points are 1,035,880.]

Chen Yu felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart; his points had finally exceeded one million.

However, he was not in a hurry to draw a lottery.

The store was now stable and should progress in an orderly manner.

Adding one new braised dish recently had already kept him more than busy.

So, it was better to observe for a while.

He had just ordered ten thousand pounds of flour and two thousand pounds of pork.

Considering the current daily consumption of pasta and flatbreads, which was four thousand pounds of flour, it would just last until the day after tomorrow.

By then, the semi-finished products like the fried cakes and vegetable pastries would also be sold out, and he could place a unified order for raw materials.

But the meat used for braising still needed to be purchased on the same day.

After calculating briefly in his mind, he transferred sixteen thousand yuan into his savings account.

Leaving himself with just over five thousand yuan for contingencies.
