Chapter 444: Four hundred and forty-four, one hundred yuan! Buying midnight snack_1

She clutched Gu Chen’s hand tightly, with tears still glistening in her eyes.

All the grievances she had felt throughout the day, Gu Chen had now summoned them back for her.

Once Tangtang got into the car, Gu Chen directly drove her to the coffee shop.

They had originally agreed on a one-hour break at the coffee shop, but now it seemed they would be a few minutes late as the time was almost up.

However, he didn’t mind at all, because nothing was more important than Tangtang’s affairs.

In front of any matter, Tangtang was always his priority.

So no matter what others said, Gu Chen would always support Tangtang.

After returning to the coffee shop, Tangtang obediently followed behind Gu Chen.

The customers in the coffee shop, seeing that Gu Chen had finally returned, were all eager to start ordering.

Gu Chen was peacefully brewing coffee behind the bar.

Since there were no seats left in the coffee shop, even Tangtang had nowhere to sit.

Gu Chen could only casually find a large jar for Tangtang to sit on temporarily.

Having a jar to sit on was already quite good in the coffee shop.

Many customers had been sitting on the floor all along, from the moment they entered until now, without getting up.

Those who knew it was a coffee shop might think so, but those who didn’t could mistake it for a train station.

Operating continuously like this, they went through the whole afternoon.

By around eight o’clock in the evening, the coffee shop once again entered a small peak period.

Lin Xuan made what could be said to be the last cup of coffee for each customer.

After finishing the coffee, Lin Xuan directly turned off the lights inside the coffee shop bar.

It was an obvious sign that the coffee shop was about to close.

Once he stopped making coffee, Gu Chen squatted down and looked at Tangtang.

While looking at Tangtang, Gu Chen didn’t know what to say.

Tangtang thought Gu Chen was going to blame her, but instead, he just gently stroked her hair.

"Are you hungry?" he asked Tangtang.

"Daddy, Tangtang is hungry," Tangtang honestly said.

"What would you like to eat later?"

"Tangtang wants to eat the dishes Daddy makes."

At eight o’clock in the evening, the coffee shop closed on time.

All the customers dispersed, leaving the coffee shop with slight regret.

After they had all left, the first thing Gu Chen did was to check the accounts.

He wanted to see how much money had been sold today, because today was truly the first day from opening to closing.

"Seventy-four regular coffees, six hundred and sixteen premium coffees."

After calculating these numbers, Gu Chen was also somewhat astonished.

By this calculation, the net income of the coffee shop today reached thirteen thousand and sixty yuan.

That was a full three thousand more than yesterday.

Adding the four thousand from Qiwei Vegetarian, it amounted to seventeen thousand and sixty yuan in a day.

This income was quite high.

At this moment, Gu Chen called over Jia Xiaoyi and the other two.

Then, quite generously, he took out three hundred yuan and gave a hundred to each of them.

"This is your hard-earned money for the past two days; take it and go enjoy some late-night snacks," he said.

The three of them were immediately frightened and dared not reach out to take the money upon hearing Gu Chen’s words.

A hundred yuan for two days of hard work? That was way too generous.

Spending one hundred yuan on late-night snacks? That expense is way too much!

"Just listen and take it."

Under Gu Chen’s insistent demand, the three of them could only shakily accept the three one-hundred yuan bills.

Once they had the money in hand, the exhaustion they had felt over the past two days immediately vanished.

After closing the door, Gu Chen took Sugar out with him.

By this late hour, the markets and such were almost all closed.

But, after all, this was Chuan City, where many fresh supermarkets were still open.

Gu Chen decided to drive to the market intending to buy some vegetables.

Once he had purchased an armload of groceries, Gu Chen and Sugar returned home.

Since Sugar had withdrawn from kindergarten, there was, of course, no homework to do.

Sugar sat on the sofa, laughing carefree for the first time in a long while.

As Gu Chen was putting away the groceries, he pondered which kindergarten to send Sugar to next.

Could it be that the only option was kindergartens abroad?

But that would be far too troublesome.

One had to admit that, nowadays, the education level abroad was still a cut above that within the country.

Wealthy families would still send their children to study overseas, or even let their children grow up abroad from a young age.

Educational resources are one thing, but whether Sugar could adapt to that environment was another uncertainty.

If Sugar truly could adapt, then there was one last problem.

It was who, between himself and Ji Pianran, could take her and pick her up every day?

A child so young couldn’t possibly be without a father or mother, right?

Gu Chen hoped to give her a whole childhood, one without any regrets.

Gu Chen thought about these matters for a long, long time, but in the end, he could not come up with an answer.

It was well past nine o’clock when Gu Chen had all the food prepared, at which time Ji Pianran returned from work.

After arriving home and seeing the table full of food, her mood became very joyful.

"Why are you cooking such a large spread today?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen curiously.

Today wasn’t a holiday or a special occasion, so what could have made Gu Chen prepare so much food?

"Nothing much, just to improve the meal," Gu Chen said casually.

Ji Pianran didn’t take it too seriously. She hadn’t had much appetite at the office and hadn’t felt much like eating.

But seeing the dishes that Gu Chen had made instantly gave her a hearty appetite.

Her stomach even started to rumble incessantly.

After the three of them sat down, Ji Pianran and Sugar voraciously ate their meal.

Gu Chen, who was preoccupied, didn’t eat much.

It wasn’t just because he was preoccupied, but also partly because the cook often loses interest in eating the food after making it.

After Sugar was full, Gu Chen took her to the bedroom to sleep.

Once she was asleep, Gu Chen went to the living room.

After Ji Pianran had washed the dishes, she sat on the sofa waiting for Gu Chen, naturally sensing that he had something on his mind, possibly something he wanted to talk to her about.

"Did something happen today? How’s the coffee shop doing?" Ji Pianran took the initiative to ask Gu Chen.

"Not bad, the coffee shop did well today, three thousand more than yesterday," Gu Chen said.

After he spoke, Ji Pianran’s heart nearly numbed.

Money seemed like a printing press to Gu Chen, giving the impression that no matter how it was spent, it would never run out.

Since it wasn’t about the coffee shop, Ji Pianran was even more curious about what was on Gu Chen’s mind.
