Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away
Chapter 625: Six hundred and twenty gradually warming up

Chapter 625: Six hundred and twenty gradually warming up

It was nine o’clock in the evening.

The bar had been completely empty for an hour.

In that hour, not a single customer had appeared.

And it was just over three minutes past nine.

A black Mercedes-Benz finally stopped outside the bar.

Four people got out of the Mercedes.

Wei Dahong and the others’ eyes lit up when they saw people coming.

However, Gu Chen had no reaction, because the one who came was Wu Dazhu who had brought three people with him.

Although Gu Chen didn’t know who these three were, they must be some influential figures from Chuan City.

After the four of them entered, they looked around at the situation.

When Wu Dazhu saw Gu Chen, he spoke directly, "I’m a bit late, are there any spots left? We just had a simple meal together."

"There are plenty of seats inside; Dahong, the boss’s card has been activated."

Gu Chen said this to Wei Dahong.

Wei Dahong was startled and seemed not to understand what the boss’s card meant at first.

But it took only a few seconds for her to get it.

When Wu Dazhu heard there were still many seats, he instantly understood Gu Chen’s subtext.

What else could it mean except that there weren’t many clients at the bar today?

He glanced at Gu Chen but didn’t say anything else to him.

It wasn’t the time to discuss that matter anyway.

Wei Dahong opened the best spot in the bar at the front desk, VIP666.

After opening this spot, she led the group inside.

About five minutes after Wu Dazhu and his party entered, there was no new figure at the door of the bar.

Gu Chen then turned his head and walked into the bar.

Wu Dazhu had actually brought people here, and he had to go and pay them some attention, regardless of who they were or their status in society. Their presence was an endorsement for his establishment, and he couldn’t afford to drop the ball.

Upon entering the bar, he could hear the electronic music had started already.

However, it wasn’t the kind of high-energy sound that directly hit the climax.

It was just the warming-up level of electronic music.

Of course, to Gu Chen and Qin Long, this was just warming up, but for these people who had never been to a bar or experienced electronic music before, it was already very loud and almost deafening, even the waitstaff’s faces were flushed.

This was all because the business was so substantial—this type of electronic music easily influenced a person’s mood.

Gu Chen appeared at this moment, glanced at the drinks that had been ordered by their table.

Wu Dazhu was quite generous, ordering the bar’s 3999 yuan per bottle Night Champagne and some other miscellaneous items, the consumption had reached at least five thousand yuan.

In any entertainment venue in Chuan City at present, this was considered high spending.

After Gu Chen arrived, he picked up a glass and clinked glasses with the few guests that Wu Dazhu had brought.

These guests did not show any hostility when they looked at Gu Chen, as if they were looking at an old friend they hadn’t seen for a long time.

Everything was proceeding so normally.

The background music was at the warming-up stage, where regular conversation could still be heard, requiring only a slightly louder voice to speak.

"Boss Gu, it’s normal for the first time doing this kind of business to be not so good. Even Liu Dahai didn’t do very well on his first day of business; it was all about friends helping by supporting the place," one middle-aged uncle with a profound look said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen smiled and nodded after hearing this, acting as if he had learned a valuable lesson.

At that moment, Wu Dazhu also said to Gu Chen, "Don’t worry, just relax."

He was the one who knew best how much money Gu Chen had put into this venture.

At the time, Gu Chen had emphatically assured him that this place would definitely make money.

Looking at the current situation, it seems the end isn’t far away.

The investments made amount to several hundred thousand, and losing that would be no small sum.

Of course, compared to the assets Gu Chen currently has, this few hundred thousand doesn’t seem like much.

After spending a little while with them, Gu Chen stood up and went back outside to the bar.

Just as he reached the door, he saw three people coming over.

One of them was holding a flyer that Gu Chen had sent out.

"Hello, is this place mentioned on the invitation here?"

The man in the middle, still wearing sunglasses at night, asked Gu Chen.

"Yes, that’s right, it’s here. Welcome," Gu Chen went up to them, collected the invitation, and said.

The girl with purple hair led the three of them into the bar.

Thank goodness, finally someone came in because of the flyer he distributed.

At the very least, it proved his earlier judgments weren’t wrong.

His promotional efforts were indeed effective.

This comforted Gu Chen greatly.

At 9:20, Gu Chen checked inside the bar again.

Wu Dazhu’s table on one side, and the sunglasses-wearing party on the other.

Fortunately, Qin Long’s DJing skills were quite good, and though the bar looked sparse, it felt different than the atmosphere in a restaurant.

In a restaurant, the lack of eating patrons would mean a noticeable decrease in lively chatter.

But here, what wasn’t lacking was sound.

Finally, an hour and a half after opening, it was 9:30 in the evening.

Gu Chen quietly waited outside the bar.

Suddenly, three cars pulled up directly at the entrance of the bar.

A bunch of people got out of the cars, and it looked like they were here to cause trouble.

Smelly Tinker immediately stood at the forefront when he saw this scene.

Wei Dahong and the others were also startled by the sight.

Such disturbances were all too common in entertainment venues.

However, Gu Chen appeared quite relaxed when he saw the newcomers.

He patted Smelly Tinker on the shoulder, signaling there was no need to be anxious.

Because it wasn’t anyone else who had arrived; it was Old Yuan.

After coming in, Old Yuan said to Gu Chen with a smile, "I’ve brought my brothers over for drinks, you still got room?"

Gu Chen nodded in response, "Yes, there’s room. Dahong, show the way."

Wei Dahong let down her guard upon realizing they were here to patronize the bar.

Especially since Old Yuan brought quite a few people, a total of seven.

And just as Old Yuan had entered, more people came into the bar right behind him.

"Boss Gu, do you have any seats left?"

"We just took a stroll outside, but we didn’t see the new Qiwei Vegetarian."

After entering, the two recognized Gu Chen and directly addressed him with their questions.

Gu Chen knew these two were regulars of Qiwei Vegetarian.

So he smiled and said, "It’s just opposite over there, but it’s still being renovated. It probably will take a while before it opens for business."

Upon hearing this, the two men seemed understanding.

Then they too entered the bar.

After they’d gone in, new customers arrived straightaway.
