Chapter 18 – 18 Gifts

Tong Ya had just returned to the food truck when she saw Chen Yu continuously tapping on his phone.

“Is your phone broken?”

Chen Yu, feeling helpless, replied, “It’s been roasted by the frying pan. I need to get it fixed, or else I can’t contact the supplier for tomorrow’s raw materials.”

“Let me go fix it for you!”

Tong Ya didn’t bother with formalities and quickly grabbed Chen Yu’s phone before leaving the food truck.

Within fifteen minutes, Tong Ya returned, bounding back with a box in hand, glee evident in her steps.

“I’m sorry, I accidentally dropped your phone on the way, and it’s completely beyond repair now. Consider this my compensation to you.”

Chen Yu’s mouth fell open slightly, his face full of surprise.

In Tong Ya’s hands was the latest model 5G smartphone, costing over ten thousand yuan each.

“Teacher Tong Ya, I really can’t accept this! I’m standing by the frying pan all day; even the best phone will end up getting roasted.”

“No, it won’t. I specifically bought a vacuum metal case for you!”

Chen Yu was momentarily at a loss. He indeed needed a phone, especially one that could withstand high temperatures.

Now, Tong Ya had fulfilled both these requirements for him.

Chen Yu reluctantly accepted the phone, “Then I’ll transfer the money to you.”

A flicker of disappointment crossed Tong Ya’s eyes.

“Dad! You’re really letting down Teacher Tong Ya’s kind intentions!”

Chen Yu frowned, “You child, how have I taught you? You can’t always think about taking advantage of others.”

Hearing this, Tong Ya quickly straightened up.

“Chen Yu, consider this smartphone a gift for the opening of your food truck! If you feel like you’re taking advantage of me, you can give me a gift for my birthday next month!”

Chen Yu looked up slightly, seeming to agree that transferring money might not be the right move now.

Moreover, by next month, he should have a decent amount of savings, just in time to arrange a nice birthday party for Tong Ya.

It would also serve as a thank-you for all the care she had provided during this time.

“Okay, next month it is!”

Seeing Chen Yu’s agreement, Tong Ya heaved a sigh of relief.

As they spoke, the elders and aunties who danced in the square began arriving one after another.

They kept a regular schedule regardless of the weekend, showing up on time every afternoon in the vicinity.

After these elderly and regular customers dispersed, the food truck quickly quieted down.

Still, by eight o’clock in the evening, all the fried cakes and vegetable rolls had sold out.

As Chen Yu finished cleaning the food truck, the anticipated system notification rang in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for perfectly completing a day of business. Today’s net profit is 45,420.5 yuan, earning an equal number of points. Current total points are 66,149.]

Chen Yu couldn’t contain his excitement. Who would have thought his food truck could net over 40,000 yuan in a single day’s profit?

However, Chen Yu quickly reined in his excitement and dialed the supplier’s number.

He was truly exhausted and feared he might fall asleep if he waited any longer.

The order was the same as yesterday, except today Chen Yu added fifteen bags of flour and twenty buckets of mineral water.

Calculating the costs, tomorrow’s expenses would be 19,900 yuan, and the savings he had accumulated amounted to 40,712 yuan.

A small sense of achievement rose in Chen Yu’s heart. At this rate, he’d be able to buy his own house soon.

Looking at the 60,000-plus points, Chen Yu was tempted to see what new skills he could pull.
