Chapter 439: Four hundred and thirty-nine sitting inside, watching from outside_1

But even so, the seats inside the coffee shop were quickly taken.

Good wine needs no bush.

The aroma of a cup of coffee, the aromas of ten cups of coffee.

When the scent became so strong it could drift outside, more and more people were attracted to it.

It quickly created a very interesting situation.

Many people were sitting inside, many more were watching from outside.

It was just like the day the first KFC opened.

There were many onlookers, as well as various journalists, it seemed.

The scene at hand was just that odd.

The customers inside the coffee shop, however, didn’t seem to care.

Because by now, anyone who was inside the coffee shop had already focused their attention on the coffee, too occupied to concern themselves with how they were being perceived by those outside.

Gu Chen sold one cup of coffee after another, and the aroma filled the entire coffee shop.

Even those standing outside were alert and extremely excited.

Not to mention the people inside, all of whom had their eyes wide open in amazement.

Gu Chen himself couldn’t remember just how many cups of coffee he’d poured.

One after the other, the coffee beans he’d prepared were quickly running out.

The customers, on average, started with three cups.

Basically, the first cup was a standard coffee, then straight onto a second cup of specialty coffee, and finally another cup of specialty coffee to finish off.

However, those who started with three cups were in the minority, as the vast majority opted for four.

Those who had three were either occupied with other matters, or simply did not have enough money to spend on drinks.

Whichever the case, they left with a sense of regret and reluctance.

Like the first female boss who came in; she had spent several hours sitting there.

She ordered almost twenty cups, though, of course, not all for herself.

She invited her friends and relatives over in succession, choosing to share this good thing.

By the afternoon, when Xiao Tangtang was about to finish school, Gu Chen saw that the customers showed no sign of leaving.

This left Gu Chen unsure of what to do.

Could he really just ask them to leave?

He could only pick up his phone and give Ji Pianran a call.

"Hello? My dear wife, do you have time now?" Gu Chen was very timely with his words, politely speaking into the phone as soon as the call connected.

"What’s up?" Ji Pianran happily basked in Gu Chen’s praise at the other end of the line.

"The coffee shop’s busy today. Can you pick up Xiao Tangtang for me?" Gu Chen asked on the phone.

"Xiao Tangtang? Okay, okay, and hey, send me the address of your coffee shop, I can come and help you out."

Ji Pianran offered considerately over the phone, even volunteering to help Gu Chen.

"No need to help, we have waitstaff in the shop. Just helping me pick up Xiao Tangtang is enough," Gu Chen said.

"I’ll come see if there is any way I can be of help," Ji Pianran coaxed in a spoiled way.

"No need, really no need." How could Gu Chen bear to have Ji Pianran come over and get busy?

But after Gu Chen’s response, there was a moment of silence on the phone.

Then he heard Ji Pianran say coldly, "Give me your address."

Gu Chen hadn’t expected Ji Pianran to say something like this so suddenly; he was taken aback by her remark.

What was this all about? Gu Chen genuinely hadn’t caught on.

Ji Pianran’s slight attitude almost seemed as if she was about to flay Gu Chen alive.

"Alright, I’ll send you the address right now." Gu Chen was clueless as to what was happening.

So he honestly gave her the address of his café.

After about half an hour, Ji Pianran, leading Xiao Tangtang, arrived.

When Jia Xiaoyi saw them, he immediately went up to them with a warm welcome, "Honored guest, hello, we are currently out of seats."

The café was already full at the moment, with a continuous flow of customers.

"I’m here to find someone," Ji Pianran said.

Ji Pianran looked around and quickly spotted Gu Chen.

Then she walked over to Gu Chen.

When Gu Chen saw Ji Pianran, he smiled and waved his hand.

"Daddy!" That’s what Xiao Tangtang said upon seeing Gu Chen.

Hearing that, Gu Chen immediately squatted down and picked up Xiao Tangtang.

Many of the customers around them were surprised to hear Xiao Tangtang calling Gu Chen "Daddy."

Even Jia Xiaoyi did not expect Gu Chen to already be a father.

"Xiao Tangtang, were you obedient today?" Gu Chen asked Xiao Tangtang.

"Daddy, Xiao Tangtang was very obedient today, and the teacher even gave me a little red flower," Xiao Tangtang said to Gu Chen with a beaming smile.

At that time, Ji Pianran spoke to Gu Chen, "Business seems good, looks like the opening went smoothly."

Gu Chen nodded, he truly did not expect to have so many customers today.

While they were still talking, another customer ordered a cup of coffee.

While Ji Pianran was observing the environment, Gu Chen could tell that her gaze did not only rest on the décor but also carefully on Xiao Yi and the others.

It was then that Gu Chen understood why Ji Pianran had come over today.

It was all to check on these servers.

Thinking about it, Gu Chen didn’t know what to say, realizing she still had moments of not trusting him.

"We’ll stop serving at eight o’clock tonight; please let the customers know," Gu Chen didn’t know how late these customers wanted to stay.

It was already six o’clock in the evening, and he could only give two more hours, no more!

Jia Xiaoyi and the others began to convey the business hours as told by Gu Chen.

Hearing that the café would close at eight, many customers started to get nervous.

They suddenly ordered many, many more cups.

Gu Chen carried on topping up the cups until eight o’clock.

When it reached eight o’clock, Gu Chen directly turned off the lights at the bar.

From that moment on, the ordering officially stopped.

"Boss, may I ask what time does the café open tomorrow?"

The first female customer who came in was still there, and she was excited as she asked Gu Chen.

"Let’s say ten o’clock tomorrow morning," Gu Chen said.

In reality, he had set it for eight-thirty in the morning.

But seeing so many people today, Gu Chen decided to delay by an hour and a half.

Otherwise, it would just be too exhausting.

The customers could only leave the café reluctantly.

After they all left, Gu Chen then said to Jia Xiaoyi and the three of them, "You really worked hard today; there will be overtime pay added to your wages."

After he said this, all three of them were very happy.

"Thank you, boss."

"Thank you, boss."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and clock off. You’ve all worked hard, make sure you have a meal when you get back home," Gu Chen said to them in a very friendly manner.
