Chapter 77 - Chapter 77 - 77: Exponential Growth (2/2)

Moreover, the design from the beginning had anticipated integration with Chen Yu’s existing shop.

“Hard work, Old Xie!”

Chen Yu placed a stack of drinks on the ground.

The workers were somewhat embarrassed; none of their other clients had ever gone out of their way to provide them with drinks.

“Old Chen, why go to all this expense? With our relationship, there’s no need for such politeness.”

Chen Yu checked the time—it was almost ten o’clock at night.

“Old Xie, let’s call it a day. Let the masters go back and rest! Don’t wear them out.”

Xie Jiang waved his hand dismissively: “My construction team gets paid by the hour, overtime means overtime pay, why are you worrying?”

“Right, the pressure cooker you asked me to order earlier will be delivered first thing in the morning!”

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good, I’ll leave this place in your hands.”

Back in the third-floor room, Chen Yu found Tuan Tuan already asleep, with only Tong Ya sitting on the couch, struggling to keep her eyes open as she waited for him.

“Husband!” Seeing Chen Yu return, Tong Ya opened her arms and called out, then threw herself into his embrace: “Did you tire yourself out today?”

Chen Yu pinched Tong Ya’s nose: “Not at all! And I have some good news to tell you.”

“What news?” Tong Ya’s face was filled with anticipation.

Chen Yu smiled slightly and pointed to his own face: “Give me a kiss and I’ll tell you.”

Tong Ya’s face turned red; she hadn’t expected to start being teased by Chen Yu at this time.

Nevertheless, she didn’t think too much, bent down, and kissed Chen Yu on the face.

“Now you can tell me!”

Chen Yu leaned back on the couch: “My current account balance has already reached over two million, we’re getting closer and closer to buying a house and setting up a shop!”

Tong Ya curled her already petite body into Chen Yu’s embrace.

“Actually, you don’t have to work so hard; buying a house is a matter for us both, and I have some savings too…”

Chen Yu suddenly looked straight into Tong Ya’s eyes: “Keep your money for spending; leave these matters to me.”

Tong Ya burrowed her head deeper into Chen Yu’s chest: “I want to sleep in the same room with you tonight, is that okay?”

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, then gently tousled Tong Ya’s hair.

“Of course!”

Tong Ya was overjoyed: “Then carry me back.”

Chen Yu smiled slightly and picked up Tong Ya to return to the room.

At three-thirty in the early morning the next day, Chen Yu was already up and about.

As Wang Qingshan had said, the customer flow might be even greater today, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.

He had just finished processing a batch of pork and placed it in the pressure cooker when Wang Qingshan hurried into the shop.

Right behind him came fourteen laughing young girls, entering the shop with chatter and laughter.

Chu Hong quickly ran into the kitchen: “Brother Yu, they all arrived at the high-speed rail station at twelve last night; I went to pick them up and settled them in the dormitory for the night.”

Last night, when Chu Hong called, eight young girls had already arrived together at their local train station.

They initially wanted to head to Suzhou City to join Chu Hong and others to work in the factory together.

But since Chu Hong was no longer at the factory, she tried recommending them to Chen Yu.

At this moment, Chen Yu was also rising to scrutinize the eight new girls.

They all looked the same, the youthfulness and rustic origin not yet leaving their faces.

But from them, Chen Yu saw the same character traits that Chu Hong and the other six shared.
