Chapter 418: Four hundred eighty-one New New Human_1

After the shop was nearing closure, Gu Chen instructed Cui Hua and Xiao Fang beside him.

He told them to remember to close the shop and clean up leftover dishes and similar miscellaneous tasks afterward.

Then, Gu Chen left ahead of time.

Speaking of which, having an ample number of staff in the shop was quite beneficial for him.

For example, up till now, he didn’t need to personally handle many things anymore.

Even his time off had become much more plentiful than before.

After he manages the shop for some more time and lets Xiao Fang and Cui Hua take charge at Qiwei Vegetarian,

then, at that time, he could once again become the hands-off owner who just lays back and collects money.

At the same time, he could also consider whether to open another branch or not.

After leaving Qiwei Vegetarian, Gu Chen first drove to the bank.

These days, making a money transfer was quite troublesome, as everything relied on manual operations by the tellers.

There wasn’t even a queue number system, and everyone had to line up inside the bank.

Gu Chen, unable to avoid this customary practice, waited for quite a while before it was finally his turn.

Over the span of a week or so, coupled with the money he had saved before,

he had a total of more than 45,000 yuan. Without any hesitation, Gu Chen transferred 40,000 yuan to Li Chunlei.

With this sum of money, he would at least have a decent starting point in Haicheng.

As for whether the other party would truly lose all this money, Gu Chen didn’t really care about it.

Not only was it because he and Li Chunlei had always had a good brotherly relationship,

but also as someone who had been reborn, he knew very well that Li Chunlei’s career would definitely be successful in the future.

Anytime, providing timely help when someone is in dire need

is much better than adding flowers to the brocade when they have already achieved success.

Even if it was indeed a loss, it still wouldn’t really matter to Gu Chen.

After all, his Qiwei Vegetarian could make nearly five thousand yuan a day, and even after deducting all production costs,

those 40,000 yuan were not even half a month’s turnover for him.

After paving the way for his good brother,

Gu Chen then drove straight to Little Sun Kindergarten to wait for his daughter’s school to end.

The teacher on duty at the gate was also quite young, but she was not his daughter’s homeroom teacher.

Gu Chen wasn’t very familiar with her, so he exchanged a few polite words like the other parents,

and then stood at the gate of the kindergarten, waiting for his daughter to come out.

Speaking of which, his daughter had been reluctant in the morning, seemingly wanting to take a day off to laze at home.

Now, as she walked out with a sweet smile, surrounded by her peers like the moon among the stars,

Gu Chen distinctly felt that this little girl was actually living quite a fulfilling preschool life.

At least she was a big shot in the kindergarten, which was way cooler than his school days.

But whether it’s the nursery class, intermediate class, or senior class, in the end, they were all just a group of kids.

So one second they could be playing out a script full of loyalty and brotherhood,

almost swearing brotherhood and making oaths like in the stories between the kids.

And the next second, upon seeing the teacher, they immediately turned back into well-behaved children,

even competing with each other to see who was the most obedient that day,

or who got the most little red flowers and the like.

Gu Chen found this somewhat amusing.

He wondered where these kids learned all these tricks from their homes.

Afterward, as usual, he picked up his daughter, said goodbye to the teacher with a wave along with TangTang,

and then drove back home.

...

And on the other side, Ji Pianran, having finally finished her work at the company.

The time had already reached half-past nine in the evening.

She couldn’t help but stretch a lazy stretch in the empty office.

She needed to move her body, which had become somewhat stiff from sitting for too long.

Afterward, she also wrote a memo for the next day’s schedule.

Not until she was sure that she hadn’t missed any incomplete documents

did Ji Pianran finally pick up her handbag and drive home.

By the time she arrived home with a hint of fatigue, her daughter Tangtang had already gone to bed.

Only Gu Chen seemed to be busy fiddling with something in the bedroom.

Out of curiosity, Ji Pianran leaned closer and saw that it was a brand-new computer.

"Honey, see what you think, I bought it when I came back this afternoon.

It only took the time to eat a meal, and someone had already helped set it up.

From now on, your husband is also a new generation who can surf the internet in the z era."

Gu Chen had a big grin on his face as he showed her his new toy.

"Wow, husband, you’re so amazing."

Ji Pianran rolled her eyes, clapping and playing along somewhat insincerely.

For many people in this era, computers were still a very novel thing.

Moreover, the rather expensive price, high internet fees, and the complicated hardware installation

made many people hesitant to approach.

However, Ji Pianran had long been accustomed to such devices.

Ji Corporation was among the first in Chuan City to implement network management and office automation.

Though, at present, the use of computers was limited only to middle and upper management within the company.

Especially in Ji Pianran’s office, where she had her own.

She would often use it for work or to send and receive emails, so she felt no particular excitement about it.

"Your reading of the script is lackluster, your expression is stiff, and your praise is completely unenthusiastic.

Not good enough, not good enough. This actress, can you show a little more dedication to your performance?

I think this, you remember to stop by my room tonight, the director here is ready to give you a personal acting lesson."

Gu Chen rolled up the computer manual into a tube and then playfully lifted Ji Pianran’s chin with it.

While continuously waggling his eyebrows, he said this with a righteous look on his face.

"Drop dead."

Ji Pianran laughed, unable to help but punch him softly in the chest.

"I’m not going to your room in the middle of the night to listen to you ramble on about acting, so childish."

With that, she turned to head for a shower, but in the next second, Gu Chen pulled her directly into his arms.

At first, she thought Gu Chen was up to some mischief again.

Just as she was about to speak, the next second she heard him whisper in her ear.

"You’ve been working overtime until now, have you had dinner?

I specially saved several dishes you like when I cooked tonight,

they’re now in the fridge. Do you want me to heat them up for you?"

Feeling Gu Chen’s thoughtfulness and concern made Ji Pianran’s heart unexpectedly warm for a moment.

She had originally wanted to say that she would skip dinner to keep in shape, but her words changed when they reached her lips.

"Well, since you saved them for me, I’ll reluctantly try a bit.

But I only want a little bit, don’t heat up too much, or I definitely won’t eat it!"
