[Congratulations, Host, for completing a day's business. Today's net profit is 1,216,600 yuan, earning 1,216,600 points. The current total accumulated points are 5,508,980 points.]
Chen Yu subconsciously glanced at his watch; it wasn't even eight o'clock yet.
In fact, this business model was rather healthy, unlike those that operate till midnight or even 24 hours non-stop, which basically just fill up time with extended hours.
Moreover, closing early allowed the staff in the store to have a proper rest and not to be too exhausted.
Once everyone had left, Chen Yu took out his phone and checked his current account.
It had already reached 8.42 million yuan.
He estimated that in another day or two, he would be able to buy the store outright.
At this moment, the first-floor lobby was empty, leaving only Chen Yu, Tong Ya, and Tang Xiaowei.
After these past two days of hard work, Tang Xiaowei had almost finished painting murals on all the walls.
Even the last wall was already halfway done.
"Xiaowei's painting skills are getting better and better. Looking at the shop, her painting really adds a touch of class to it,"
Tong Ya said, sitting beside Chen Yu, resting her chin in her hand, gazing at him with affectionate eyes.
"So, how much do you plan to pay her this time?"
Without hesitation, Chen Yu replied, "The same as before, 11,000 yuan a piece. I'll transfer the money to you later."
Tong Ya didn't say anything, after all, Tang Xiaowei's painting skill was worth that much.
"So what do you want to do now? Go for a run outside?"
Chen Yu shook his head, "Not necessary. Why keep going out for runs? Today, I just got my certificate. It seems I haven't yet had the chance to properly watch a movie with my wife or do things that couples should do."
Tong Ya quickly straightened up, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Chen Yu.
"You mean..."
"Today, the medicated dishes made over a thousand yuan, and I still have five thousand yuan in reserve. Although it's not a lot, today I want to spend it all."
Tong Ya pouted, "Don't be so wasteful. A movie ticket only costs within a hundred yuan."
Chen Yu smiled, greeted Tang Xiaowei, and then left the store with Tong Ya.
Before long, the two arrived at a nearby mall.
After discussing back and forth, Chen Yu and Tong Ya booked a movie and then headed straight to the fourth-floor cinema.
While they were sitting in the waiting area, suddenly there was a commotion nearby.
"What the hell? Are you blind? You spilled my cola all over."
A fat-faced man was berating a worker at the cinema. Searᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The worker looked quite young, probably around the same age as Chu Hong.
And she kept apologizing.
But the fat man was relentless.
At this point, a crowd had already gathered around.
They were all trying to calm the fat man down.
However, unexpectedly, the fat man cursed at anyone who spoke to him, showing an arrogant attitude.
Chen Yu could no longer just watch and pushed his way through the crowd to pull the worker aside.
"You're being too much, man. The girl has already apologized to you, and you show no grace at all. It's just a bottle of cola! Are you planning on devouring her or what?"
The fat man, seeing someone stand up for the worker, became even more enraged.
"Don't give me that bullshit. It was a large cup of cola."
Chen Yu was speechless, what difference did a large cup make?
He ignored the fat man and turned to comfort the worker nearby.
The little girl seemed to be frightened, trembling all over, her face flushed red.
Chen Yu could even hear her heartbeat. see-more-MVLeMpYr
Suddenly, the fat man shouted loudly and then charged towards Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was not about to indulge him, moving forward directly, he grabbed the fat man's shoulders and delivered a hard shoulder throw.
Just then, the cinema's security also arrived.
They dragged the fat man down.
After comforting the little girl a few more times, Chen Yu entered the cinema with Tong Ya.
"Husband, I've noticed that you're really getting more and more handsome. How am I going to live if I ever leave you!"
Chen Yu looked at Tong Ya with amusement, "What, you're planning to leave me?"
"That's not what I meant!" Tong Ya suddenly became anxious, "It's just a figure of speech, how could I bear to leave you?"
Chen Yu tousled Tong Ya's hair, "Alright! I was just joking."
As soon as they entered the cinema, Tong Ya lay directly in Chen Yu's arms, maintaining this position until the movie ended.
At ten-thirty in the evening, after the movie ended, Chen Yu took Tong Ya by the hand and left the cinema.
Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw a frail figure sitting on the nearby stairs, sobbing non-stop.
Upon closer inspection, it was the little girl from the cinema.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Yu frowned as he approached her, suddenly having a bad feeling.
The girl cried even harder, "Our manager said I was affecting the image of the cinema and fired me."
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment; it seemed clear that the fat man was in the wrong, so why fire the little girl?
"But you can't just sit here and cry! Hurry home! It's dangerous out here so late at night."
At these words, the girl's crying intensified, giving Chen Yu a shock.
"I'm an orphan, with no home! Now that I'm of age, the orphanage won't take me. It was so hard to find this job, and now I've lost it..."
Chen Yu was dumbstruck, not expecting the girl's backstory to be so pitiful.
Tong Ya hurried forward to help the girl up.
"Husband, why don't we let her work at our shop? After all, you're not one staff member over, just a waitress."
Chen Yu nodded, "If the boss's wife has spoken, what else can I say?"
Tong Ya's face flushed all at once; before she got together with Chen Yu, she would always manage to make Chen Yu blush.
But now, she suddenly realized that the tables had turned.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Tong Ya quickly changed the subject to calm her own agitated heart.
"My name is Yang Shu."
Tong Ya took out a tissue and wiped Yang Shu's tears, "Then come with us!"
Yang Shu nodded without hesitation.
It must be said, the girl was still somewhat naive.
She didn't even consider if Chen Yu and Tong Ya were good people and agreed so easily.
If it had been someone else, the poor girl might have been abducted.
Chen Yu didn't say much else and took Tong Ya and Yang Shu back to the shop.
On the way, Chen Yu casually called Chu Hong to come and take Yang Shu back to the dormitory.
After returning home, Chen Yu and Tong Ya started packing the things they needed for the next day.
Although the competition venue was not too far from here, the whole place was fully enclosed.
Moreover, it was a three-day-long competition, and Chen Yu couldn't do without taking some personal items with him.
