Chapter 450: 450 Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat racing_1

After hearing this, Gu Chen glanced at Tangtang’s bedroom and then said, "Kids are usually a bit unfamiliar on the first day. Let’s wait a couple of days and see. If she still feels strange then, we’ll think of another way."

"When we get to the bridge, we’ll cross it," he believed that Tangtang’s personality would quickly adapt to a new environment.

But Ji Pianran’s worries were not without reason.

If she couldn’t get used to this entirely new environment, it wouldn’t be good for Tangtang.

She might even develop a dislike for learning and be unable to accept the whole environment.

"Honey, do you think we should take Tangtang out for some fun and relaxation during this time?" Ji Pianran was very concerned about Tangtang’s mental health, so she took the initiative to suggest taking her out.

Gu Chen believed that Tangtang would be very happy to hear this in her bedroom.

But at this moment, Gu Chen still had his reservations.

"Going out is not impossible, but I’ve been quite busy recently, and haven’t you also not sorted out your company’s affairs yet?"

It wasn’t that Gu Chen didn’t want everyone to go out and have fun; he felt that relaxing every day was possible.

But the truth was there were still many things undone, like the computers that were about to arrive.

The business model for the internet cafe was only a concept in Gu Chen’s mind; he hadn’t figured out how to implement it yet.

So, in his view, now was not a good time to go out.

Ji Pianran completely understood what Gu Chen said and knew what he meant.

"Then, after we’re done with our busy period, we’ll take her out," Ji Pianran said to Gu Chen.

"Don’t worry, even if you didn’t mention it, I would take you two out for fun," he reassured her.

Gu Chen smiled casually and then focused on cooking.

While cooking, he asked about the situation at the company.

"How are things at the company now?" Gu Chen asked.

"Not bad, there’s been a slight increase in sales recently, but it’s not very significant," Ji Pianran replied.

The advertisement had been out for a while now, and they were burning money non-stop.

If all this money thrown out didn’t come back, then Ji Pianran might really struggle to stand her ground.

"Trust me, everything will be alright," knowing that Ji Pianran was very anxious, Gu Chen said this to reassure her.

He still hoped Ji Pianran could maintain a calm attitude and, most importantly, believe in herself.

Ji Pianran knew Gu Chen would never harm her.

But seeing Ji Pianran’s distracted appearance, Gu Chen still let slip a little spoiler in advance.

"Next holiday, you’ll understand," Ji Pianran didn’t quite get what Gu Chen meant.

She quickly checked the calendar; the next holiday was the Dragon Boat Festival.

There were exactly seven days before the Dragon Boat Festival.

Could it be that Wang Laoji’s sales would skyrocket within seven days?

"Why?" Ji Pianran really couldn’t figure it out; she didn’t understand why Wang Laoji would suddenly take off during the holidays.

This wasn’t easy for Gu Chen to explain, but in the coming New Year period, many beverages have ordinary sales on regular days; however, during the holidays and festivals, sales often surge dramatically.

The beverages sold in those few days alone could surpass the total sales of the entire year.

Because these gifts for festivals and holidays all revolve around one word, "ritual," many people don’t drink this stuff themselves, but choose to give it as a gift when the occasion arises.

The reason is very simple; the ads are so pervasive that basically every household knows about them.

When it comes to gifts, that’s what people give. If you really wanted to be economical, you might as well go to the market and buy some pork or lamb.

Watching Gu Chen’s mysterious demeanor, Ji Pianran was genuinely curious, but there was nothing she could do if Gu Chen didn’t say anything.

After Gu Chen had finished cooking a whole table full of food, he told Ji Pianran to go call Tiantian to come eat.

Tiantian scampered out, washed her hands, and quickly sat down at the dining table.

Looking at the sumptuous dinner, this was probably the happiest moment of Tiantian’s day.

During dinner, Gu Chen didn’t ask Tiantian about anything related to kindergarten.

There might be stories inside the kindergarten too; it wasn’t necessary for him to pry.

He trusted that if his daughter really had any problems, she would definitely talk to him about it in time.

"Honey, what do you say our company should give to the employees for Dragon Boat Festival?"

Ji Pianran wouldn’t even have realized the festival was coming up if Gu Chen hadn’t suddenly reminded her.

The company always provides some benefits for the employees during festivals.

Especially for a company like Ji Pianran’s, they couldn’t skimp on the benefits and compensation.

"How about zongzi gift boxes or just give them some money," said Gu Chen, not sure about the best benefits to offer, but he knew that what employees most hoped for was paid vacation, and if you could give them a little bonus on top of that, it would be the icing on the cake.

Although Gu Chen’s suggestion was straightforward, Ji Pianran felt there was some truth to it after hearing it.

Giving all sorts of fancy items didn’t beat the simplicity of giving money directly.

Upon hearing about the upcoming festival, Tiantian nearby couldn’t help but interject.

"Mom and Dad, let’s go dragon boat racing together for Dragon Boat Festival."

When Gu Chen heard this, he looked at Tiantian.

"Dragon boat racing? Okay," Gu Chen agreed without any hesitation.

That kind of thing usually only existed in textbooks, and most people didn’t know what it felt like to actually race dragon boats.

Gu Chen was willing to take Tiantian to experience these new things, as it could not only broaden her horizons but also leave a lasting impression on her for life.

"Dragon boat racing for Dragon Boat Festival? But I’ve never done it before," said Ji Pianran with a bit of worry.

"Neither have I, we’ll figure it out when we try," Gu Chen replied.

Gu Chen was quite interested in trying it himself, as he had no experience with it either.

Ji Pianran also felt a little excited about the idea of going dragon boat racing.

Despite the years she’d lived and even having a child, she still didn’t know exactly how to go about dragon boat racing, having only ever read about it in newspapers.

Tiantian was also very excited; for her, this was like opening the door to a new world.

Only Gu Chen remained calm, but seeing the excitement of the mother and daughter, he felt somewhat happy inside as well.

Everything he worked so hard for was for the two of them, and aside from them, there was nothing else that could bring Gu Chen joy.

That night, Ji Pianran was in high spirits and kept Gu Chen up all night, leaving him listless the next day.
