Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Arranging Accommodation
Chen Yu felt somewhat embarrassed by the compliments.
He quickly pointed to four girls standing nearby.
"These four young ladies will be staying for now, how many rooms do you think would be appropriate to rent?"
Auntie Li looked over the four timid girls.
"A bunk bed in one room will be enough for them."
After considering for a moment, Chen Yu said, "Then I\'ll rent two rooms, I might hire more people in the future."
Auntie Li waved her hand, "We\'ll talk about that when the time comes."
One of the young girls timidly stepped forward,
"Excuse me, boss, we have two other sisters who went for a cleaning job interview on the next street, can they come and stay as well?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the young girl bashfully tapped her own head.
Chen Yu was lucky enough to take in these four.
Now they were pushing their luck, wanting to bring two more.
Anyone would get angry.
But after some thought, Chen Yu surprisingly agreed.
"Then quickly bring them over, I\'ll arrange the dormitory for you right now."
The four girls burst into cheers.
"Boss, you\'re the best, we\'ll definitely work hard in the future."
In the midst of their talking, the seniors dancing in the square had already arrived at the shop.
Chen Yu was at a loss, not sure whether to arrange the dormitory for the girls first or to make fried cakes.
"I\'ll go arrange the dormitory for them!"
Tong Ya naturally saw Chen Yu\'s dilemma and quickly stood up to help.
Chen Yu had no choice but to agree.
"Auntie Li, how much is the rent? Just text me the amount, I\'ll transfer it directly to you."
"Okay, got it!"
Chen Yu was actually afraid that Tong Ya would end up fronting the rent money herself.
By five o\'clock, the shop was already overflowing with people.
Chen Yu was truly feeling overwhelmed.
In this area, Auntie Li was a well-known landlord.
She owned countless properties, not to mention that half of the shops at the entrance of the neighborhood were hers.
At this moment, the other two girls had also been called over.
Tong Ya led them, following Auntie Li, to building number three.
This building had been constructed as single apartments, targeting single occupants.
The rooms averaged from sixty to eighty square meters each.
Auntie Li checked the room numbers written on her hand for a while and found two rooms facing each other.
"3301 and 3330, these are the two!"
When the doors opened, all six girls were momentarily stunned.
"Oh my, there are private bathrooms."
"And the balcony is so big."
"This is so much better than the factory dormitories."
Tong Ya was also stunned for a moment; these two rooms were top-notch even within the single apartments.
And with two double beds, four people living in one room was more than spacious.
After the six girls put down their luggage and changed their clothes, Tong Ya led them back to the shop.
At this point, Chen Yu was already swamped with work, while Tang Xiaowei and Tuan Tuan were struggling to keep up.
After the expansion of the store, business had definitely improved, but it had also become busier.
Tong Ya didn\'t hesitate and quickly assigned work to the six young girls.
Essentially, she divided the areas among them to manage.
Tong Ya habitually entered the kitchen, offering Chen Yu a helping hand.
"Here are the personal details of those six girls!"
Tong Ya pulled out a list and laid it in front of Chen Yu.
"Oh right! I\'ve ordered four wooden bunk beds from Master Xie Jiang. He\'ll deliver them tonight."
Chen Yu was somewhat surprised; he hadn\'t expected Tong Ya to have already taken care of everything.
There was no denying that those six girls were truly hardworking and reliable.
With their addition, Chen Yu instantly felt much more relieved.
Now, he only needed to focus on making fried cakes and dumpling corners; he didn\'t need to worry about anything else.
It wasn\'t long before Aunt Li sent a message.
"Two rooms total three thousand, including water but not electricity."
Chen Yu was somewhat surprised; the complex behind was considered high-end, and renting a studio apartment alone would cost nearly two thousand.
Aunt Li had clearly given him a discount.
Chen Yu didn\'t hesitate and directly transferred six months\' rent, eighteen thousand yuan.
By nine o\'clock in the evening, Xie Jiang had delivered the custom-made wooden beds and some matching bedding to the apartment dormitory.
"Miss Tong, everything is taken care of. Here\'s the key to the apartment, I\'m returning it to you."
Tong Ya didn\'t move but gently nudged Chen Yu instead.
Chen Yu had been a bit busy earlier, so she had stepped in to take over.
Now that Chen Yu was here, there was nothing for her to do.
After all, she wasn\'t the real boss\'s wife yet.
Chen Yu hurried out of the kitchen.
"Old Xie, your efficiency is as fast as ever!"
Xie Jiang chuckled, "Can\'t neglect my own people, can I?"
With that, Xie Jiang handed the bill to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu glanced at the total amount at the bottom of the bill and directly transferred two thousand yuan.
"Oh, right, Old Xie, here are the fried cakes and dumpling corners I kept for you. You can take them now."
Xie Jiang rubbed his hands together, "Old Chen, my whole family loves eating these! But now that your store has expanded, you should really come up with some new items!"
Chen Yu nodded. Even the tastiest food would become tiresome if eaten too much.
"I\'ll introduce some new ones once things stabilize in the next couple of days."
"I won\'t bother you anymore, you\'re busy."
Xie Jiang waved and hurried off.
At ten o\'clock at night, there were still a few scattered customers in the store.
They were probably residents from the nearby complex.
[Today\'s net profit is sixty-eight thousand two hundred yuan, earning sixty-eight thousand two hundred points. The current total accumulated points are two hundred thirty-five thousand nine hundred forty points.]
Chen Yu was initially stunned, then remembered that today\'s turnover was all pure profit.
However, the system had accounted for the rent and the cost of the wooden beds as expenses.
Moreover, Chen Yu\'s current savings had reached three hundred fifty-five thousand three hundred twenty yuan.
Chen Yu closed his eyes, trying his best to calm his excited emotions.
He decided then and there that he wouldn\'t purchase raw materials tomorrow; instead, he would take some time to buy a car.
The shop behind came with a parking spot, and it was about time he bought a car, lest the spot remained unused.
"You must have earned a lot today, right?" Tong Ya asked softly.
Chen Yu opened his eyes, "Back when I had the food cart, the net profit had already stabilized at around ten thousand a day. These past two days, it\'s been close to sixty thousand."
"Hearing that, I\'m tempted to come work for you," Tong Ya joked.
Chen Yu waved his hand, "That won\'t do. You\'re a fine dance teacher. What would you be doing working for me?"
Tong Ya giggled, "Oh, by the way, didn\'t you mention wanting to buy a car? One of my colleagues, their family sells cars. Maybe they can give you a discount."
"Then I\'ll limit the supply tomorrow and take some time to buy the car."
With plans in mind, Chen Yu slowly began to tidy up the kitchen.
Now, unlike with the food cart, cleaning up was actually a bit of a hassle.
