Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Exponential Growth

```

[Congratulations, Host, for completing a day's business. Today's net profit is 780,600 yuan, earning you 780,600 points. Your current total accumulated points are 2,542,480.]

The system prompt echoed in Chen Yu's mind at that moment, and even he himself was stunned.

He hurriedly checked the day's turnover and found it had reached over 860,000.

This was nearly three times as much as yesterday!

Looking at the images provided by today's delivery system, an area with a six-kilometer radius was entirely covered. Even people more than ten kilometers away were ordering takeout from here.

The increase in foot traffic was practically explosive.

Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh at his own hastiness.

He should have waited until the store was more solidly established and hired more staff before launching the delivery system.

However, he merely lamented in his heart for a moment and then quickly called the raw material suppliers.

Though he wanted to stock up more, the capacity of the cold storage meant he could only order enough raw materials for the next couple of days.

For tomorrow, the 10,000 jin of pork used for marinated meat, along with other various raw materials, added up to a total of 358,000 yuan.

Subsequently, Chen Yu rushed to place an order for three sets of machinery from Zhang Fan and also gave a shout to Xie Jiang next door, asking him to source twenty larger pressure cookers. Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After paying for all these expenses, he had 433,600 yuan left in his hands.

Depositing 430,000 yuan into a current account and adding what was left over from yesterday, Chen Yu had a bit over 6,000 yuan in reserve funds.

After ordering the goods, Chen Yu sat down again to roughly calculate the costs.

He found that just today's raw material costs were nearly 220,000 yuan.

It was a good thing he had listened to Tong Ming and hadn't opened another branch but chose to expand his current shop instead.

Otherwise, who knows what kind of mishaps might have occurred.

Before long, several large trucks stopped in front of the shop.

The delivery guys had become numb to it all, as it seemed that the amount of raw materials Chen Yu needed would double every so often.

But the sheer volume of supplies this time was indeed too much; even Wang Qingshan was so exhausted he could hardly catch his breath.

Just then, Chu Hong approached Chen Yu with her mobile phone, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Brother Yu, some girls from back home want to come out and find work. Can I invite them to work here?"

Chen Yu's eyes instantly lit up, "Of course! How many?"

The six girls currently working in his shop were meticulous in their duties.

Not only did they learn quickly, but they also had honest and straightforward characters.

Since they were Chu Hong's fellow villagers, their character and integrity were surely not far off.

Moreover, after today, Chen Yu clearly felt the need for more hands.

"There are roughly eight girls. If they don't come out to work and earn money soon, they'll be pressured into marriage. And I can assure you that they are diligent workers…"

"Enough," Chen Yu interrupted Chu Hong with a raised hand, "tell them to come quickly. I'll reimburse the travel expenses."

With that, he directly transferred the over 6,000 yuan in reserve funds to Chu Hong.

"Brother Yu, this is too much…"

"The rest is a bonus for you six for this period; take it back and split it among yourselves!"

Chu Hong immediately became excited and stepped aside to make some phone calls.

After Wang Qingshan and the six girls had left, Chen Yu, holding his forehead, went next door.

Xie Jiang was still there with his workers, busy with construction in a hive of activity.

The previously independent five shops had been consolidated, and the stairs and various passages were also reinforced.

Moreover, the design from the beginning had anticipated integration with Chen Yu's existing shop.

"Hard work, Old Xie!"

Chen Yu placed a stack of drinks on the ground.

The workers were somewhat embarrassed; none of their other clients had ever gone out of their way to provide them with drinks.

"Old Chen, why go to all this expense? With our relationship, there's no need for such politeness."

Chen Yu checked the time—it was almost ten o'clock at night.

"Old Xie, let's call it a day. Let the masters go back and rest! Don't wear them out."

Xie Jiang waved his hand dismissively: "My construction team gets paid by the hour, overtime means overtime pay, why are you worrying?"

"Right, the pressure cooker you asked me to order earlier will be delivered first thing in the morning!"

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'll leave this place in your hands."

Back in the third-floor room, Chen Yu found Tuan Tuan already asleep, with only Tong Ya sitting on the couch, struggling to keep her eyes open as she waited for him.

"Husband!" Seeing Chen Yu return, Tong Ya opened her arms and called out, then threw herself into his embrace: "Did you tire yourself out today?"

Chen Yu pinched Tong Ya's nose: "Not at all! And I have some good news to tell you."

"What news?" Tong Ya's face was filled with anticipation.

Chen Yu smiled slightly and pointed to his own face: "Give me a kiss and I'll tell you."

Tong Ya's face turned red; she hadn't expected to start being teased by Chen Yu at this time.

Nevertheless, she didn't think too much, bent down, and kissed Chen Yu on the face.

"Now you can tell me!"

Chen Yu leaned back on the couch: "My current account balance has already reached over two million, we're getting closer and closer to buying a house and setting up a shop!"

Tong Ya curled her already petite body into Chen Yu's embrace.

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard; buying a house is a matter for us both, and I have some savings too..."

Chen Yu suddenly looked straight into Tong Ya's eyes: "Keep your money for spending; leave these matters to me."

Tong Ya burrowed her head deeper into Chen Yu's chest: "I want to sleep in the same room with you tonight, is that okay?"

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, then gently tousled Tong Ya's hair.

"Of course!"

Tong Ya was overjoyed: "Then carry me back."

Chen Yu smiled slightly and picked up Tong Ya to return to the room.

At three-thirty in the early morning the next day, Chen Yu was already up and about.

As Wang Qingshan had said, the customer flow might be even greater today, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.

He had just finished processing a batch of pork and placed it in the pressure cooker when Wang Qingshan hurried into the shop.

Right behind him came fourteen laughing young girls, entering the shop with chatter and laughter.

Chu Hong quickly ran into the kitchen: "Brother Yu, they all arrived at the high-speed rail station at twelve last night; I went to pick them up and settled them in the dormitory for the night."

Last night, when Chu Hong called, eight young girls had already arrived together at their local train station.

They initially wanted to head to Suzhou City to join Chu Hong and others to work in the factory together.

But since Chu Hong was no longer at the factory, she tried recommending them to Chen Yu.

At this moment, Chen Yu was also rising to scrutinize the eight new girls.

They all looked the same, the youthfulness and rustic origin not yet leaving their faces.

But from them, Chen Yu saw the same character traits that Chu Hong and the other six shared.
