Chapter 456: Four hundred fifty-six Tangtang won the award certificate_1

Ji Pianran originally thought that it would already be quite expensive to charge ten or eight yuan for using the computer once.

But she didn’t expect that the price Gu Chen set far exceeded her acceptable range.

"Husband, this price might be a bit too high, won’t it? Will people be willing to pay?" Ji Pianran asked with a tinge of worry.

"I think there should be," he said.

Gu Chen teased her, his own heart, of course, full of confidence.

The price of forty yuan per hour was indeed high, but there would still be people willing to pay.

Of course, this price wouldn’t last very long; Gu Chen estimated that other internet cafés would appear after three months.

By then, he could lower his prices.

Ji Pianran was a little worried because the scale of Gu Chen’s investment this time was too large.

The price of computers is transparent, to say the least, Gu Chen’s investment this time amounted to at least two hundred thousand yuan.

Two hundred thousand! She had no idea how many bottles of Old Wang’s sauce would have to be sold to make that much money.

However, after her concern, she was still full of confidence in Gu Chen because in all this time, Gu Chen had never once made a wrong judgment. Since Gu Chen was bold enough to spend so much this time, he must be filled with confidence.

As Gu Chen’s wife, she, of course, should unconditionally support him at this time!

After the meal was prepared, everyone sat together harmoniously, enjoying their food.

Midway through the meal, Tangtang suddenly left the dining table and ran to her room, busy with something unknown.

It wasn’t long before Tangtang emerged with a piece of paper in hand, which she kept hidden behind her back, looking very mysterious.

"Tangtang, what is that?" Ji Pianran asked.

"Is it a test or an assessment from kindergarten?" Gu Chen added his inquiry casually.

Tangtang shook her head, then approached Gu Chen and Ji Pianran.

"Ta-da! Ta-da!" Tangtang brought out the paper from behind her back.

Only when she revealed it did Gu Chen see clearly what it was.

"A certificate, ’First Place in Kindergarten Composition, Dragon Boat Festival Theme Diary,’ Tangtang?"

"My girl! You won a prize!"

Ji Pianran was extremely happy to see this small certificate, even happier than she had been when Old Wang’s sauce had sold well a few days before.

At this moment, Gu Chen also started to smile, "Our Tangtang is really smart, winning a prize! Tell Daddy if there’s anything you want as a reward."

When a child receives a certificate or something similar, parents should respond immediately, and Gu Chen was very clear about this.

So he was the first to offer some rewards for Tangtang.

Upon hearing this, Tangtang’s watery large eyes spun around.

Then she said, "Tangtang hasn’t decided what she wants as a reward yet."

Indeed, she didn’t know what to ask for because there was nothing she lacked in her daily life; both Gu Chen and Ji Pianran never stinted on buying things for her or taking her to places to play.

Thus, she really couldn’t make up her mind about what she wanted.

"Then wait until Tangtang has decided, and tell Daddy and Mommy later," he said.

"Tangtang, show Mommy the diary you wrote."

Ji Pianran spoke to her with great indulgence.

Then Gu Tangtang went to fetch the diary she had written herself.

The diary detailed the events that had happened to their family of three during the Dragon Boat Race, and it also included how she felt afterward.

The teacher’s comment at the bottom was that it was a Dragon Boat Festival with very special commemorative significance.

Although the child’s writing was somewhat immature, it conveyed genuine emotion and sentiment.

All evening, Gu Chen and Ji Pianran could not stop praising her; they encouraged Tangtang incessantly, much like a duo performing together, and also lavished praise on her.

Tangtang was extremely happy that night, and at the first moment she received the certificate, she thought of sharing it with Gu Chen and Ji Pianran.

The thoughts of children are rather pure; she simply wanted to see the look of proud happiness on the faces of Gu Chen and Ji Pianran for her.

Indeed, she had achieved just that.

Primarily, it was because Gu Chen and Ji Pianran both implicitly knew how to take care of Tangtang’s feelings.

The next morning, Gu Chen woke Tangtang up on time; even with the small award, going to kindergarten was not something she could be late for.

He quickly made a few sandwiches and, after Tangtang finished eating, he took her to kindergarten.

After dropping her off, Gu Chen returned to his internet café.

There were quite a few people walking past the internet café today; they had all come to check out the excitement after watching the report about the café the previous night.

By noon, a young man walked into the café.

This guy, wearing plain glasses, had a refined and cultured air about him, and at first glance, Gu Chen could tell he was a student who had graduated not long ago.

"Hello," he said to Gu Chen, "are you looking for a computer administrator here?"

What is a computer administrator? It was a slight modification Gu Chen made to the name "internet café manager" because it sounded better. The recruitment advertisements outside all listed the position as a computer administrator.

"Yes, we’re hiring, please take a seat."

Gu Chen casually pulled over a chair and asked him to sit down.

"Hello, boss, let me introduce myself; my name is Wei Bin Guo, twenty years old this year. I graduated from a top high school in Chuan City."

After hearing his introduction, Gu Chen did not appear very surprised.

It was more or less as he had guessed; this person was indeed a recent graduate, now looking to join the workforce.

"Have you had any introduction to computers before?"

Gu Chen knew that it was unlikely he had hands-on experience with computers, so instead of asking such a question, he asked if the young man had some understanding of them.

Even though computers weren’t yet common in every household, there were books on computers for sale.

Therefore, if someone was interested in computers, they could find some information in those books.

"I have perused some computer materials and have a certain understanding of computers," he replied.

Hearing that he actually had a slight understanding of computers, Gu Chen felt somewhat surprised.

It was clear this was a very diligent and eager-to-learn individual.

Since computers were not yet widespread, the great majority of people had no chance to interact with them; so those willing to learn about this technology were few and far between. The fact that Wei Bin Guo had read books on computers proved his interest in them.

"Good, we don’t have many requirements for the job. We’ll hire two more people to do the same job as you, and the three of you will work an eight-hour shift system. While the working hours are a bit long, the pay will not be less, and there will be plenty of benefits during holidays and festivals."

When Gu Chen said these words, it meant that he had agreed to Wei Bin Guo’s application.

The young man was quick-witted and immediately thanked Gu Chen: "Thank you, boss, for this opportunity; I will definitely work hard!"
