Chapter 616: Chapter 617: Sleep until you wake up naturally, count money until your hand cramps

Seeing Liu Xia crying there, Xiao Hong didn’t know what to say.

She guessed that there must have been some misunderstanding between Ye Qiu and Liu Xia, hence Liu Xia’s reaction.

"Xiaxia, how about I help you clear things up with Ye Qiu?"

Xiao Hong said.

Having spent so much time with Liu Xia, she naturally knew what kind of girl she was.

"No."

Liu Xia wiped her tears and said, sobbing.

...

A bit past eleven at night, Ye Qiu saw Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, Liu Daqing, Zhang Yuehong, Ye Xue, and Liu Lingxiu just returning home.

Seeing them all looking exhausted, Ye Qiu knew they must have been busy all day again.

"Dad, Mom, how was business today?"

"Extremely busy, we’re fully booked until the day after tomorrow now,"

Ye Weidong said with a smile.

He truly didn’t expect that the cost of a table full of dishes now would equal the previous day’s total revenue. Considering the situation where they offered an 80 to 90 percent discount before, it was clear to Ye Weidong that the Imperial Cuisine was highly profitable.

The better the business was at the restaurant, the happier and more motivated Ye Weidong and Chen Fang were, feeling that their son Ye Qiu was indeed very capable.

"Dad, Mom, you look exhausted. You don’t need to go tomorrow; let the female waitstaff handle it!"

Ye Qiu said.

"How could that work? Without someone supervising, wouldn’t the restaurant descend into chaos?"

Ye Qiu didn’t want to go to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant because, to him, there was nothing much to see. The chefs did their cooking, the staff in the logistics department did their logistics work, and the receptionists did their receptionist work. Everything operated according to the usual procedures.

Of course, Ye Qiu knew that it was best to choose two managers from among them to take turns supervising.

"Dad, Mom, what I hope for is that you can sleep in and wake up naturally, and count money until your hands cramp, not be as busy as you were at the congee and noodle shop from morning till night. That’s pointless."

Ye Qiu said.

"I understand, but we can’t stop."

Ye Weidong said.

Of course, he understood his son Ye Qiu’s meaning, but now that they were actually enjoying their work, he couldn’t just sit and relax.

Since that was the case, Ye Qiu didn’t say more and let them go to wash up and rest early.

Seeing Liu Lingxiu sitting there, she had been busy at the restaurant all day, too. Although she wasn’t wearing the uniform of the waitstaff, other guests still mistook her for one.

"Lingshow, thank you for your hard work."

Ye Qiu said, sitting down next to her.

"It’s no trouble."

Liu Lingxiu said.

Now, she admired Ye Qiu even more. From the interior and exterior design diagrams of the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant to its dishes, and even the training of the chefs and female waitstaff, all of it had been handled by Ye Qiu alone.

Just the design diagrams, in Liu Lingxiu’s view, couldn’t have been so beautiful and humanized without studying architectural design.

But Ye Qiu had accomplished it.

This made Liu Lingxiu increasingly curious about Ye Qiu.

The Ye Qiu she knew in the past was clearly the worst student in the class – his grades, personality, and everything else were quite poor.

She never expected that after recovering from the car accident, he would seem like a completely different person to her. The more time she spent with Ye Qiu, the more she felt he was different from ordinary people.

"You should also rest early. Tomorrow, don’t go to the restaurant with your parents. Just stay home and watch TV or use the computer."

Ye Qiu said.

"I want to help Sister Ye Xue."

Ye Xue brought back the account book with today’s records. She still needed to make sure the calculations were accurate.

Ye Qiu shook his head and let them do their tasks.

After the two women went up to bathe, Ye Qiu returned to his room and looked out of the window at the moonlight. Tonight’s moonlight wasn’t very bright and was often obscured by clouds. It might rain heavily later in the night.

The recent weather had been very hot and humid. According to the weather forecast, there was a tropical cyclone forming in the East Sea and the Pacific Ocean, which might turn into a typhoon that would affect Jinling.

Under such circumstances, Ye Qiu’s cultivation was somewhat difficult in absorbing Moonlight Essence.

Still, he decided to quiet his mind and continue his practice.

...

There was a sudden knock on the door. Ye Qiu thought it might be Liu Xia or Liu Lingxiu, but it turned out to be his sister, Ye Xue, in a nightgown.

The sea-blue nightgown was the one Ye Qiu bought for her when she and Liu Lingxiu went shopping for lingerie and sleepwear.

"Sis, what’s up?"

"Today’s account book, I can’t get the numbers right no matter how many times I calculate. Can you help me check?"

Ye Xue had been calculating today’s earnings and expenditures, which were meticulously recorded in the account book. However, despite running the numbers multiple times on the calculator, the totals weren’t adding up. Maybe the cashier at the front desk had made an error.

But these accounts should have backups; each table’s menu served as the backup record, which she could review from the beginning.

"Sis, come in then!"

Seated at his computer desk, Ye Qiu quickly flipped through the thick stack of menus and the account book, calculating rapidly.

Ye Qiu’s skill wasn’t just due to his intelligence but also because he had absorbed the Soul Consciousness of various experts.

As a result, he was able to quickly check the account book.

"Ye Qiu, are you hungry?"

"Not really."

Ye Qiu didn’t stop calculating the accounts.

"I’ll go make something for you to eat."

Previously, Ye Xue would cook a bowl of noodles for Ye Qiu every night, feeling it was the least she could do.

While Ye Xue went downstairs to make noodles for Ye Qiu, it took him less than half an hour to calculate the income and expenditure clearly.

The reason Ye Xue felt there was an error was because several tables had identical amounts, making her overlook them.

"Ye Qiu, the noodles are ready. Want to come down and eat?"

"Sis, the accounts are all sorted."

As Ye Xue reviewed the calculations, she found they were indeed accurate.

After eating his sister’s lovingly made egg and beef noodles, Ye Qiu went back upstairs to continue his cultivation.

The next morning, Ye Qiu woke up, dressed, washed, and went downstairs. He saw that Chen Fang hadn’t left for the restaurant, but Ye Weidong had already gone, probably early.

"Mom, why are you up so early?"

"It’s a habit. Once your dad wakes up, I wake up too. By the way, Liu Xia told me that you helped her find a place. She’s moving out this afternoon. This young girl has it tough, being alone outside. Anything could happen."
