Chapter 458: Four hundred and fifty-eight: Earning is faster than robbing_1

Long before, Boss Gu had made it clear to Old Zhang.

"Family matters should not be brought to the internet cafe and affect the business."

So at this time, Old Zhang was being extremely cautious, afraid that something might go wrong.

Boss Gu waved his hand and then said to Old Zhang.

"Old Zhang, since your wife is here, take her home and have a good meal.

From nine o’clock this morning to six in the evening, a total of nine hours.

One minute costs one yuan, so the total is five hundred and forty yuan. I’ll go get the cash for you in a moment.

From now on, let’s settle the accounts every day at six in the afternoon, accounting for a full twenty-four hours."

Boss Gu said this to Old Zhang.

Old Zhang and his wife, upon hearing about the day’s earnings, were immediately dumbfounded.

"How much, how much?" Old Zhang asked incredulously.

"Five hundred and forty yuan, no more, no less, just right. Your machine, over nine hours when no one booked it in advance, was all paid for by the minute, so the total is five hundred and forty yuan."

When Boss Gu finished explaining this to Old Zhang, he almost couldn’t stand steady on his feet.

In just nine hours of time, he had made so much money.

If one day, counting twenty-four hours as twenty hours, he could make twelve hundred yuan in a day.

This wasn’t just making money; it was faster than robbing a bank.

At this moment, Boss Gu went to the cash register at the bar and took out five hundred and forty yuan.

He then personally handed the money to Old Zhang.

Old Zhang, holding the banknotes in his hand, shed tears he hadn’t seen in a long time.

He felt a sourness in his nose; after such a long time, he had finally accomplished something.

Decorating, in the eyes of many, was already something he did well, but Old Zhang’s true intention wasn’t to swing a hammer and chip at walls every day. He wanted to do business, the kind that could help him get rich.

He had been looking for opportunities all this time, but chances like that are not easy to find.

He never expected that today, his entire life’s trajectory would change and from then on, he would rise to success.

Old Zhang’s wife, seeing the money in Old Zhang’s hands, still had a somewhat fearful look on her face.

"Is this money really earned by our Old Zhang?" She still couldn’t believe it.

Boss Gu, reading the expression on Old Zhang’s wife’s face, could tell that she was definitely a hardworking and complaining housewife.

Her skin wasn’t in great condition. Though she didn’t look very old, she now had the face of a yellow-faced woman, with the marks of time clearly etched upon her visage.

"Yes, this is the money earned by Old Zhang’s machine number twenty in six hours," Boss Gu confirmed again.

Upon hearing this, his wife’s tears suddenly disappeared, replaced by the excitement from her emotional state.

"Old Zhang, you, you’ve really started doing business, you didn’t go gambling!" she said to Old Zhang, her face bright with happiness.

After hearing this, Old Zhang immediately became unhappy. "Quiet, you, what do you think I am? Don’t you know me by now? How could I possibly go gambling?"

Boss Gu now understood that his wife had thought Old Zhang had gambled away the money after discovering it missing.

No wonder she cried so hard at the door just now.

At this moment, Old Zhang turned his head and said very earnestly to Boss Gu, "Boss Gu, I truly can’t thank you enough. Without your help, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity to invest in a machine in this internet cafe. You are really a good person."

Old Zhang didn’t skimp on his praise, immediately issuing a ’good person card’ to Boss Gu.

But when he said Boss Gu was a good person, it was his most genuine feeling from the bottom of his heart.

By this time, his admiration for Boss Gu was complete and absolute.

Before, he had thought the internet café might make some money, and his demands weren’t high; his biggest dream was to earn two hundred yuan a day, which seemed very difficult to achieve.

But unexpectedly, now he could earn more than five hundred yuan in just six hours, a figure he had never even dared to dream of before.

He who drinks the water should remember who dug the well, and Old Zhang was very clear that all of this was thanks to Boss Gu. The cost of the staff in the shop, the newspapers and TV stations Boss Gu had contacted, and those very interesting flyers he had printed—all these ideas had come from Boss Gu alone. He hadn’t been involved in any part of it except for putting in some effort when distributing the flyers.

He and Boss Gu were neither relatives nor friends, so for Boss Gu to do all these things was something he greatly admired about Boss Gu’s magnanimity.

"Boss Gu, I don’t know if you’re free right now, but I’d like to invite you for a meal, to properly thank you," he said to Boss Gu.

He knew Boss Gu didn’t need his money.

He had earned five hundred and forty yuan in nine hours, but Boss Gu had earned much more than him.

In nine hours, Boss Gu’s eighteen machines had made nearly ten thousand yuan.

The flow of money for Boss Gu was like an endless waterfall.

"Let’s skip the meal; you treat your sister-in-law to a nice dinner instead, I need to go home and check on the kids," Boss Gu said.

After hearing this, Old Zhang was a bit surprised; he hadn’t realized Boss Gu had children, as he had never asked about Boss Gu’s family before.

In an instant, he seemed to understand why Boss Gu was so composed; he was someone who had already become a father.

"Then another day, definitely another day!" he told Boss Gu.

Boss Gu nodded, then drove off straight away.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was just six o’clock, he still had time to make dinner at home.

He just didn’t know if Tangtang and Ji Pianran had eaten yet because he was returning so late today; they might have been hungry and eaten without waiting for him.

When he arrived home, Boss Gu saw Ji Pianran tutoring Tangtang with her homework in the living room.

Upon seeing Boss Gu return, Ji Pianran immediately asked him, "How was business at the internet café today?"

"Packed," Boss Gu replied succinctly with just these two words.

After hearing these two words, Ji Pianran felt relieved.

She had been worrying about this matter for nearly the entire day.

Upon hearing "packed," she knew she hadn’t been wrong about Boss Gu once again.

"Have you two eaten yet?" asked Boss Gu.

"Not yet, Daddy, Tangtang wants stir-fried prawns with scallions!" Tangtang said, sitting there and telling Boss Gu.

Boss Gu quickly put on an apron and started to show off his skills in the kitchen.

You cannot make your wife suffer, and you cannot let your children be in need.

Boss Gu was bustling around with his quickest speed.

In less than ten minutes, the aroma started wafting into the living room.

Smelling the fragrance, the two of them no longer felt like doing homework; they sat there, eagerly waiting to be fed.

Boss Gu finished cooking in half an hour, and everything was brought to the table.

The two rolled up their sleeves, almost ready to dive in with their hands.
