Chapter 436: Four hundred thirty-six, Memorizing vocabulary by watching panda_1

Just like that, I received a card from a well-wisher.

I didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.

After Jia Xiaoyi left with high spirits,

I continued to wait for the next interviewee.

I found an interesting trend; the vast majority of those who came for interviews were girls, and the number of boys was significantly lower.

I understood the reason for this, of course.

The boys of our times were generally full of youthful vigor.

For them, if they were going to get a job, of course, they should pick something physically demanding.

And roles like being a server were considered jobs for girls.

This was a characteristic of our age, which I did not judge.

Anyway, after an afternoon of interviews, I had already settled on three candidates in my mind.

Three, all of them servers!

I had originally planned to recruit a coffee barista so that I could deliver some raw materials every week and let the barista experiment.

But finding someone in this profession was quite difficult.

Mainly because coffee hadn’t become utterly ubiquitous just yet, making it hard for baristas to find work.

This also led to many people not learning the trade.

They’d rather learn how to repair MP3 players than understand this industry.

If it had to be three servers, then so be it. I wanted to see if they were all malleable talents, so I could cultivate them bit by bit, just like Xiao Fang.

Having sorted out the recruitment details, it was getting late.

I decided to pick up Tangtang from kindergarten and rushed straight home.

On the way home, I listened to Tangtang tell me interesting things about her day at kindergarten.

"Daddy, today at kindergarten they talked about the national treasure, the giant panda.

Daddy, do you know how to pronounce the English word for giant panda? I’ll tell you, it’s ’Panda,’ that’s what it means."

Tangtang sat in her seat, looking very serious as she explained this to me.

Watching her cute little face, I hardly knew what was best to say.

"Tangtang is really amazing, she has to memorize five English words every day.

Of course, if Tangtang isn’t interested in English, then we can just figure it out when we’re older."

I was very open-minded about this.

I had no intention of making Tangtang do anything she didn’t like, including learning English.

This was definitely a big problem in the eyes of many people.

Most people were not good at English, and the learning environment wasn’t great either.

The main issue was that teaching wasn’t an easy task.

If Tangtang said she didn’t like English, I would not have argued; in fact, I wouldn’t have mentioned the subject to her again.

"Five English words a day?"

"Tangtang believes she can do it. So, can we go see the giant pandas after Tangtang has memorized a hundred English words, with mom and dad?"

I was amused and surprised to hear this; she had suddenly developed an interest in giant pandas.

Every day she had all sorts of strange and curious ideas.

Just yesterday, she suddenly wanted to eat grilled fish, and today she was keen on seeing giant pandas.

I had no idea how oddly Tangtang’s mind worked.

"You don’t need a hundred, once Tangtang can memorize fifty English words, mom and dad will take you to see the giant pandas!"

Gu Chen did not set his goals so far away.

Often, smaller goals are easier to break through, and when a big goal is broken down into various smaller ones, it gives people the sense of slightly increased effort.

He agreed with that saying, which goes, "Every step leaves a footprint."

Accumulating bit by bit like this wouldn’t be trivial in helping Tangtang.

Hearing it was only fifty English words, Tangtang immediately became happy.

"Thank you, Daddy, thank you, Daddy!" she said gratefully to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn’t know if this little one would have any stranger ideas in the future.

If she did, then there would be many more ways for her to give him a hard time later.

If the little girl suddenly wanted to climb Tai Mountain, he obviously couldn’t just take her to climb Tai Mountain at night.

Of course, within his abilities, Gu Chen still chose to satisfy her requests as much as possible.

When Ji Pianran got off work and returned home, Tangtang couldn’t wait to tell her about the promise she had made with Gu Chen.

Upon hearing that Tangtang wanted to go see the giant pandas, Ji Pianran almost agreed without thinking.

To see the outside world is always much better than staying at home every day.

So, deep down, she was very willing to wander around different places with her family of three.

"Mommy, you must come with us then," Tangtang instructed Ji Pianran.

"Don’t worry, anything concerning Tangtang will always be my top priority," she replied.

"Thank you, Mommy, thank you, Daddy, you are the best. I’m going to sleep now, and tomorrow I will start learning the words."

Tangtang said energetically to Gu Chen and Ji Pianran.

After saying this, she obediently went back to her room.

Only Gu Chen and Ji Pianran were left in the living room.

Gu Chen then asked, "How’s the advertising effect?"

Ji Pianran shook her head, "It seems to be of no use, the market share hasn’t increased by much."

Gu Chen nodded, "Let’s wait another month. In one month’s time, our brand is definitely going to make a name for itself."

He assured Ji Pianran of this.

After hearing Gu Chen’s words, Ji Pianran instantly felt much happier and gained more confidence.

It was evident that Gu Chen had really encouraged her.

This would allow her to sleep well tonight.

Gu Chen was then handling his coffee beans in Spiritual Spring.

He discovered something very interesting.

Even after these coffee beans were picked, they would grow back after a day’s time.

What did this mean? Doesn’t this imply that he could potentially achieve the standard of coffee bean freedom from now on?

Gu Chen felt much happier inside.

All the various permits that could be arranged were in order now.

Now, he just needed to wait obediently and patiently.

He estimated that by The Day After Tomorrow, they should be able to start working thoroughly and officially.

Gu Chen was looking forward to what kind of customers would appear on the day the coffee shop opened its doors.

And whether the coffee sets he had painstakingly prepared for so long would be appreciated by some.

He hoped to reach the level of Qiwei Vegetarian.

That way, his daily net profit would be around ten thousand yuan, and that’s just one day’s net income, not a week or a month.
