Chapter 462: Four hundred and sixty-two, Dad, computer games!_1

After saying these words, Boss Gu returned to the Qiwei Vegetarian restaurant.

Upon entering, he saw Xiao Fang wiping tears in the kitchen.

Boss Gu walked in and just quietly watched her.

"Why are you crying?" Boss Gu asked her.

"Boss, I really didn’t do anything wrong," Xiao Fang said, looking at Boss Gu with an aggrieved expression.

The commotion that old lady caused at the door obviously scared her terribly.

She’s only in her early twenties; how could she have seen much of life? This kind of scene made her cry.

At that moment, Boss Gu patted her on the head and said with great solemnity, "Silly girl, why cry? Of course, I believe you.

I’ve seen all your hard work and attention to detail. I know it’s definitely not your fault."

Boss Gu hurried to comfort Xiao Fang.

He was worried that this incident might damage Xiao Fang’s self-confidence because she had always done very well.

That morning, he had also tasted Qiwei Vegetarian’s breakfast, and it tasted almost the same as if he had made it himself.

Even the regular customers of Qiwei Vegetarian wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, and of course, Boss Gu, as the founder, could feel a teeny bit of discrepancy, but it was negligible.

That is to say, Xiao Fang was now a fully qualified chef.

"Alright, don’t cry; we still have to open for two extra hours today.

Look at the customers waiting at the door; they are all looking forward to Chef Xiao Fang showcasing her skills. Everyone still supports and believes in you," Boss Gu spoke to Xiao Fang in a gentle and slow voice.

His words wrapped around Xiao Fang like a warm breeze, giving her a sense of inexplicable courage and warmth in her previously helpless heart.

She looked at Boss Gu and nodded firmly, "Thank you, Boss."

For the next few hours, Boss Gu also stayed in the kitchen, watching.

Seeing Xiao Fang make one exquisite dish after another, Boss Gu’s heart was also at ease.

Leaving the matter to Xiao Fang was definitely the right choice; Boss Gu felt she had done extremely well.

If it had been someone else, they probably couldn’t have achieved such a result.

"Xiao Fang, you indeed have a talent," Boss Gu encouraged Xiao Fang while she was cooking.

After he said this, Xiao Fang felt embarrassed, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

"Not at all, it’s all because the Boss teaches well," Xiao Fang humbly said.

Whether it was Boss Gu or the patrons complimenting her, she would always say that it was because Boss Gu taught her well.

She never thought of her abilities as particularly remarkable but attributed all her successes to Boss Gu.

Boss Gu knew that with a character like Xiao Fang’s, she would be the most popular wherever she chose to work.

Because people who selflessly attribute all their accomplishments to others are the kind that any team would like: they don’t compete for attention yet work hard in silence.

This trait has its advantages but also a significant downside that can’t be ignored: it’s a bit too self-deprecating.

When faced with any issue, like the one earlier, she could become so fragile that she couldn’t cope.

Therefore, Xiao Fang still needed someone to look after her well; with just one person holding an umbrella for her, she would be safe.

Today, after extending business hours by two hours, it was already noon.

When it was time to get off work, Boss Gu took out some extra cash and distributed it among the four of them.

The incident that happened today inevitably scared all four of them to some extent.

So the money Boss Gu gave was also meant to help them calm down, urging them not to dwell on the incident.

After sorting out these matters, Boss Gu then left Qiwei Vegetarian.

He went to the café, which was also bustling with business.

Now, all three industries he had invested in were not failures; they were all incredibly successful!

He began to ponder what his fourth side business should be.

Basically, Boss Gu had done about all he could think of.

Many things that might become money-making machines in a few years just wouldn’t work at present.

Take, for instance, the cat café experience. In a few years, people would pay to caress cats, a similarly lucrative venture.

But at the moment, this idea was not feasible because there was no such trend as ’cat hype.’

Even cats themselves could be easily obtained for free through a simple negotiation at a cat market.

Another example would be speculating on sneakers, which could also make a fortune.

Unfortunately, the time for that had not yet come, and it wasn’t suitable to delve into it now.

Boss Gu couldn’t think of what to do for the moment.

At six in the afternoon, he went to the net café.

By six o’clock, it was time to tally up the day’s accounts.

From six o’clock yesterday afternoon to six o’clock this afternoon, a full twenty-four hours had passed.

The number twenty computer had only gone unplayed for one minute, so the total money added up to one thousand four hundred and thirty-nine yuan.

When he handed this stack of money to Old Zhang, Old Zhang’s hands trembled.

This sum was already more than what he used to earn in an entire quarter working in a renovation team.

"Thank you, Boss Gu," he said to Boss Gu.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Old Zhang made his investment back, and then he’d be raking in profits.

"Take it easy, no rush," Boss Gu told Old Zhang.

Twenty computers were not nearly enough to fill the gap in a city as large as Chuan City, so he was considering whether to get another twenty, or to simply open a branch.

This way, he could make money even faster.

After all, this business was like a snowball effect; there was no way he could lose.

After dealing with the net café business, Boss Gu went home.

At home, Ji Pianran and Tiantian had been waiting for quite some time.

While cooking, Boss Gu also talked to Ji Pianran about the incident that had occurred at Qiwei Vegetarian that morning.

Ji Pianran was very worried upon hearing this.

"What does this mean? Is someone deliberately targeting us? Should we find a lawyer?"

Ji Pianran took the matter very seriously, and she could tell that it was definitely someone’s deliberate ploy.

"No worries, don’t be anxious; let me see who is behind this," Boss Gu shook his head.

Acting now would be like startling the snake in the grass; he needed to find the person who was instructing the old lady from behind the scenes.

Otherwise, even if the old lady was punished by the law, it would be meaningless, because there would just be a second old lady stepping forward.

"People are so malicious these days, getting jealous just because you’re doing well?" Ji Pianran said indignantly.

"It’s fine, they’ll show their true colors sooner or later," Boss Gu said with a smile.

Although Ji Pianran understood this reasoning, she still felt resentful on Boss Gu’s behalf.

After finishing dinner, Tiantian, the little sticky-sweet, came along.

"Daddy, my classmate said there are games to play on the computer, is that true?" Tiantian asked Boss Gu curiously.

Children are extremely sensitive to the word "play."

"Of course, you can; do you want to try it?"
