Chapter 528: Five hundred and twenty-three has a project_1

"I can’t skip this. I’m the group leader for the activity, and I need to participate actively, plus share my impressions," said Tang Tang with utmost seriousness, leaving Gu Chen clueless as to when she had become a group leader.

He realized that Tang Tang seemed to enjoy being in charge.

At one nursery school, she wanted to be the boss, and at this one, she aims to be the group leader.

It even sounded somewhat comical to him.

Nevertheless, Gu Chen also knew that this was quite a challenge for Tang Tang.

Though she was young, such habits needed to be cultivated from an early age.

Some kids can boldly speak on stage, while others won’t even look up as they walk down the street.

Compared to the latter, Gu Chen much preferred Tang Tang to become the confident former.

After sitting down, Gu Chen placed the footbath below.

He watched Tang Tang, waiting for her next move.

But with Tang Tang looking bleary-eyed, it seemed she could hardly tell north from south.

He had no choice but to take off his socks himself and put them in the footbath.

"Daddy, I’ll wash your feet for you; don’t move around," she said as she squatted down and began to scrub Gu Chen’s feet.

Her small hands were gentle, barely applying any pressure.

It was more like tickling Gu Chen; he almost burst into laughter.

But since Tang Tang was so earnest, he had to stay serious.

However, as Tang Tang washed his feet, she kept looking back at the clock.

Gu Chen didn’t understand, thinking maybe Tang Tang was worried about waking up on time the next morning.

So he took the opportunity to say to her, "It’s okay, we can wake up later tomorrow, and daddy will explain it to your teacher."

He wanted Tang Tang to sleep well without any stress about getting up for school.

But Tang Tang didn’t respond, just kept turning her head back and forth, seemingly fixated on something.

Just as Gu Chen was about to ask, Tang Tang suddenly stood up.

"Daddy, five minutes are up. Tang Tang is going to bed now."

After saying that, Tang Tang didn’t even wait for Gu Chen’s reaction; she walked off on her own.

Gu Chen was left stunned, completely confused by her actions.

"Is that it for the foot wash?" he asked hastily.

But Tang Tang confidently replied, "The teacher said five minutes is enough, and Tang Tang is sleepy now, good night daddy."

She went back to her room and closed the door behind her.

Gu Chen was flabbergasted by her antics.

What did that mean? What was going on? Was this the homework after washing daddy’s feet?

Wow, just like an internet cafe, when time’s up, it’s an immediate shutdown.

"Bring me the towel to dry my feet!" he suddenly remembered, realizing that after washing, he surely needed to dry off.

But after he spoke, he didn’t hear Tang Tang’s reply, as it seemed she went straight to sleep once back in her room.

Gu Chen felt helpless and had to properly finish washing his feet himself, then slip on his slippers to find a towel.

After tidying up, he finally went to bed...

Three days passed.

For Gu Chen, those three days felt quite long.

Because he hadn’t done much else during those days.

The first thing was securing a location for his future company and leasing the space.

Next, he posted job advertisements to start recruiting.

The second aspect was the ongoing critical hardship, and over these three days, Qi Qi’s illness had really improved, while Xiao Meng’s complexion became better day by day, with some color returning to her face and her hair gradually thickening.

Everything was developing in a good direction.

The four major industries that he owned— internet café, coffee shop, Qiwei Vegetarian, and flower shop—were all generating a fairly stable daily income.

The internet café’s profit was as high as fifty thousand yuan per day, the coffee shop maintained at ten thousand, Qiwei Vegetarian at five thousand, and the flower shop fluctuated around four thousand.

That is to say, Gu Chen’s daily income was now nearly coming up to sixty-nine thousand yuan.

This was absolutely a staggering figure.

This first crab was eaten by Gu Chen to the extent that not even the crab legs were left.

All his focus was on Xiaobaijiu, believing that as long as Xiaobaijiu could be successful, that would be where the real big money was made.

The tens of thousands of yuan he was making daily were merely considered small change in comparison.

On the fourth day, the interviews at Xiaobaijiu Food Co. Ltd. began.

These days, college graduates are not found everywhere; they are considered a scarce resource.

Many families are still proud of their children being able to attend university.

But while their numbers were few, the quality was high, and those who could get into university were generally talented.

For the recruitment conditions Gu Chen set, eighty percent of the positions required a college degree.

The remaining twenty percent were not as demanding because those positions were in sales.

Sales is a magical position, with many king-of-sales emerging who do not have high academic qualifications.

Therefore, Gu Chen significantly lowered the requirements in this regard, satisfied with just a junior or senior high school education.

There were very many people coming for interviews, not in the hundreds, but reaching the thousands.

Because Gu Chen offered a very high salary package.

Thus, more people came to try their luck at the interviews.

After an entire day of interviews, Gu Chen himself was suffering from visual fatigue.

In the end, exactly twenty employees were confirmed for hiring, and of course, these were just employees, not management.

Gu Chen was now yearning for the role of a hands-off manager; his few previous experiences in such a role were very comfortable.

Thus, he hoped that in the future, Xiaobaijiu Food Company would become an endless money tree.

After recruiting the twenty employees, Gu Chen needed a management team.

For those who could determine the fate of a company, Gu Chen intended to be extremely cautious.

If there was such a hardworking and capable person by his side, Gu Chen would not let them slip away.

However, looking at the people he knew, it seemed that he could not find anyone suitable to take on such a responsibility.

Gu Chen could only delay this matter for now and think about it later.

It was today that Gu Chen went to the Wei Family to deliver medicine to Xiao Meng.

Wei Tianfu suddenly pulled Gu Chen aside and sat down with him in the study.

With a secretive look, Wei Tianfu aroused Gu Chen’s curiosity, making him wonder what it was about.

"What’s happened?" Gu Chen asked, puzzled.

"Here’s the thing, Xiao Gu, there is a project we are working on recently, and we are recruiting people for it. I’m not sure if you have any interest in that," Wei Tianfu said.

Hearing Wei Tianfu suddenly talk about a project made Gu Chen curious.

A project overseen personally by Wei Tianfu was bound to be a major one.

"It’s about the development of rural land, that is, demolition and relocation."

When Wei Tianfu finished speaking, Gu Chen’s eyes lit up.

Demolition! That could mean big business.

In these times, what does demolition mean? For many people, it just means living in an apartment and getting some extra money.

But in Gu Chen’s eyes, it was something entirely different.
