Chapter 488: Four hundred and eighty-eight. Are we very rich_1

And then a brand new round of sales began.

There were simply too many people coming to buy flowers.

Throughout the entire day, Gu Chen was busy driving around and made almost five trips.

By 7 p.m., they really couldn’t help but close up shop.

Because he saw that Ji Pianran and Tangtang both were so hungry they had lost all their energy.

It was then that Gu Chen finally closed the door of the shop.

When he did, there wasn’t a single flower left inside the store.

The sales volume was so high it was almost explosive.

After getting back to the car, he figured that going back to cook would definitely be cutting it close.

So, he decided to head straight to a restaurant to quickly grab something to eat instead.

After arriving at an ordinary stir-fry restaurant, Ji Pianran sat down and couldn’t wait to start asking Gu Chen.

"Honey, how many flowers did we sell today?" Ji Pianran asked out of curiosity.

"I didn’t count them precisely, but it should be around two hundred and forty or so," Gu Chen replied.

At that time, he was too busy to spare a moment to calculate the exact number of flowers sold.

However, his estimate was around that number.

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, Ji Pianran finally came to an understanding.

One flower was fifty-eight yuan, ten flowers were five hundred and eighty yuan.

Then one hundred flowers amounted to a whole five thousand eight hundred yuan.

"So, are you saying we sold over ten thousand yuan today?" Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded his head, as he felt it should be about right, definitely more than ten thousand yuan.

After hearing this, Ji Pianran was deeply shocked. She couldn’t understand why everything Gu Chen did was so successful.

Selling flowers could earn ten thousand yuan in one day, while many people would need to work hard with their entire family for who knows how many months to earn that amount.

In the whole of Chuan City, who knows how many people don’t even have ten thousand yuan in savings, yet Gu Chen seemed to treat ten thousand yuan as a routine matter.

Ji Pianran didn’t know what to say; anyhow, she thought Gu Chen was really amazing.

Counting Gu Chen’s Qiwei Vegetarian and the café, just from these, Ji Pianran knew that Gu Chen’s daily income was over thirty thousand yuan.

Gu Chen also owned an internet café, though how much money it made every day, he wasn’t clear.

But all four added together, she was certain that Gu Chen earned at least an astonishing figure of one million yuan a month.

In today’s society, how many people actually have one million yuan? It’s probably a very small number.

Apart from those well-known tycoons, it’s nearly impossible for an ordinary person to reach this step.

"Daddy, are we very rich?" Tangtang curiously asked at this moment.

After she asked this question, both Gu Chen and Ji Pianran fell silent all at once.

No one knew how to answer Tangtang’s question.

Were they considered wealthy? That was a certainty.

But ’very rich’ was not the same thing.

Whether they were considered ’very rich,’ Ji Pianran herself didn’t even know.

She just felt that she rarely heard of anyone making more money than Gu Chen, at least in Chuan City.

"Sort of, why?" Gu Chen asked Tangtang curiously at this time.

He didn’t understand why Tangtang would suddenly pose such a question.

He seldom talked about his income in front of Tangtang because he wanted her to realize the difficulty of earning money.

"It’s nothing, so can our family buy anything we want?" Tangtang asked curiously.

Ji Pianran and Gu Chen exchanged glances, confused as to why Tangtang would ask such a question.

"Tangtang read in the newspaper about capitalists—are we capitalists?"

"I also heard many people call wealthy families landlords—are we landlords?"

She had too many misunderstandings about this world, so at this time, she could only turn to Gu Chen and Ji Pianran for answers.

Only then did the two of them fully understand why Tangtang suddenly asked such a question.

"Capitalists? Of course not.

Only those who exploit common people are called capitalists; we are called entrepreneurs, understand?"

Gu Chen said this to Tangtang rather bluntly.

Actually, regarding what a capitalist is and what an entrepreneur is, even Ji Pianran wasn’t clear about the distinction.

In this unknown domain, if Gu Chen understood it, she would completely trust him; she felt that whatever Gu Chen said must be right.

"Tangtang, you have to remember, money doesn’t come easily. Mom and Dad can earn money because we have suffered hardships, maybe it’s because of good luck, but in any case, just because we have money doesn’t mean we are superior.

We enjoy more conveniences and better materials than others. These are not things we are entitled to; they are granted to us by society, and this society is built by everyone together, not just by wealthy people."

At this moment, Gu Chen took the opportunity to give Tangtang a lesson in education.

He especially hoped that Tangtang would understand that making money wasn’t easy.

She was worried that Tangtang would lose her ambition to luxuries, although if Tangtang could always be happy, that wouldn’t be so bad.

But there was just one thing he feared: Tangtang being led astray.

Such examples were not uncommon, as this era was one of rapidly accumulated wealth.

That is to say, many people were becoming rich quickly.

Once a family became affluent, everyone from adults to children would transform as if reborn.

As a result, terms like "rich second generation" emerged with derogatory connotations.

Moreover, Gu Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with what he had said.

Perhaps it really was just because of luck.

Otherwise, how could he have been reborn to give himself a chance for redemption?

Everything he experienced each day, he believed, could be attributed to luck.

"Tangtang understands." Tangtang nodded.

Maybe she didn’t understand everything now, but Gu Chen believed that one day Tangtang would understand.

Although it might not be such an easy task for Tangtang.

At this moment, Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen; she could feel his very upright values.

Especially the words Gu Chen had just said—even she felt moved.

After finishing the meal, they returned home.

Back at home today, Tangtang didn’t wait for Gu Chen to speak; she went to bed on her own, taking her toy Little Flower with her.

Gu Chen and Ji Pianran stayed in the bedroom.

With some concern, Ji Pianran asked Gu Chen, "Husband, what do you think Tangtang will become in the future?"

"No matter what she becomes, we must accept her, right?" Gu Chen said to her with a smile.

He certainly didn’t hope for Tangtang to grow up into an insolent and overbearing little rich kid.

But if Tangtang did turn out that way, Gu Chen would do everything he could to help her.

He just wanted to give Tangtang a perfect life, a life without regrets.

"That’s true," Ji Pianran replied, feeling a sense of relief.
