Chapter 1579: Chenxin Snack

Sheng Hanyu wanted to keep a low profile, but he never expected that keeping a low profile would actually lead to being bullied.

The couple originally did not want to fuss over minor matters.

But today's incident must be fussed over!

Not only must they fuss over it, they must also teach her a harsh lesson, so that she will remember forever that being a sycophant who kicks the weak will lead to a miserable end!

Sheng Hanyu said in a deep voice, "You are fired. Pack your things and leave now!"

"Chairman, you want to fire me? Please, I beg you, don't fire me. I didn't know Sheng Yueyue was the young lady of your family. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have spoken like that..."

She pleaded bitterly, yet it was of no use.

This teacher did not realize her own mistake and still thought she was only being fired because she had offended the Chairman.

If such a person remains in the education industry, she will only mislead students.

Sheng Hanyu not only fired her but also wrote the specific reason for her dismissal in her file.

With such a reason for dismissal, no kindergarten or educational institution would hire her; she would have to change professions.

……

When the couple returned home, he said to his wife, "When the new teacher comes in, you must strictly vet them; their character must be impeccable."

Shi Youxuan: "Why is it me doing the vetting, and not you?"

"I don't care; children should be educated by you."

"Why? Most of the children are managed by me, but Yueyue is the one you insisted on keeping, so you manage her yourself."

Shi Youxuan regretted it as soon as she thought of Yueyue.

She regretted that she shouldn't have had the youngest daughter; although the little daughter's mouth is as sweet as honey and she is very cute, the trouble she creates every day is not small either.

Having one more child requires more energy to take care of, and while her face is still young, her energy is far less than it was when she was younger.

She imagined a wonderful life: "If I didn't have Yueyue, I would go travel the world right now, see all the beautiful mountains and rivers, taste all the delicacies in the world—how wonderful that would be..."

"What about me?" her husband asked.

Shi Youxuan: "I'm not taking you."

Sheng Hanyu: ……

He was furious and grabbed his wife, refusing to let go: "You explain clearly to me, if you aren't taking me, who are you planning to take?"

"I'll take some other old man, just not you."

"You dare?"

"I just dare." She stuck out her tongue and turned to run.

The two of them chased each other in the courtyard, laughing and playing.

Sheng Jiang and his wife sat by the window watching, and Wang Yinghao shook her head as she watched: "Sigh, the grandchildren have all grown up, but these two children will never grow up."

Sheng Jiang said: "Hanyu wasn't like this before he got married; he was always stern and didn't smile, like a little adult. Only now has he found his childhood back."

A virtuous wife brings prosperity for three generations.

Marrying the wrong wife ruins three generations.

Sheng Jiang has the most right to speak on this kind of saying.

Back when he was living with Wang Yingzhi, it was like living through years in a single day, and the house was in chaos every day.

Now that he is old, he has finally corrected the course and everything has returned to the right path; only then did he feel this is what a human life should be.

It's just that they hadn't lived a happy life for long before they grew old!

He held his old wife's hand and sighed: "In the next life, be a bit tougher. Never let me miss you again. I searched for so long, and it took decades of missing you before I finally found you back."

"Okay, in this life we die together, and in the next life we will be reborn together. In life and in death we will be together, and we will never be separated."

……

After Zichen returned to school and registered, the first thing he did was to get the little restaurant up and running.

The storefront was not large, totaling only about fifty square meters including the kitchen. The shop layout was not complicated; two original rooms were opened up, and the slightly smaller inner part was partitioned off with glass to serve as the kitchen.

The outer area was for the cashier and the dining space.

A U-shaped narrow table was placed along the wall with high stools beside it, and the cashier counter was in the center of the room, making it convenient for customers to order and pay.

A four-person table was also placed on each side of the cashier counter; this layout could accommodate ten more guests at a time than a similar storefront!

It didn't look crowded either.

The storefront was designed by Gu Yuxin. After it was designed, Zichen praised it endlessly: "You really have a knack for this, it's great. All future storefronts will be designed by you."

"Future?"

Yuxin chuckled: "Your first shop hasn't even opened yet, and you're already thinking about the future. You're thinking really far ahead."

"It's a must. If a man has no long-term worries, he will have near-term troubles. That's what my dad says."

Although Zichen was a university student, he still chose an auspicious day for the opening and calculated the right time before uncovering the red cloth on the sign.

Chenxin Snack.

The wooden sign with gold characters on a black background had a bit of a retro feel.

The four large characters were very eye-catching, and in the bottom right corner of the sign, there were a few small characters: Chenxin Snack Shop No. 1.

A classmate who came to show support asked: "Zichen, why is 'Shop No. 1' written on the sign?"

Zichen said: "You can't even tell? Shop No. 1 naturally means it's the first shop. We will be a chain of snack shops; later there will be Shop No. 2, Shop No. 3, Shop No. 4, Shop No. 5... Shop No. 1000!"

"Wow—"

The classmates exclaimed: "Zichen, your appetite is not small."

Everyone thought he was opening a restaurant to experience life.

They didn't expect that he wanted a single spark to start a prairie fire.

Zichen said: "That goes without saying. Just watch, in less than half a year, I will open at least ten shops."

"Hahaha!"

"You're just bragging."

"Give you an inch and you take a mile; you think opening a shop is just drawing a cake? Opening ten shops in half a year, I don't believe a word of it..."

Regarding his bold words, his classmates did not believe him; everyone thought he was bragging.

They were all studying Business Administration, so they were not unfamiliar with the field of business.

Opening ten shops in half a year—if doing business were that easy, if money were that easy to pick up and gold were everywhere, then why would anyone go to school?

But the classmates' discouragement did not make Zichen lose heart.

He was full of confidence and certain he could do it.

The small shop mainly sold wontons and various types of noodle soup.

Additionally, there were some cold side dishes, spicy stir-fried chicken racks, and duck racks.

The noodles and wontons were very down-to-earth, and the prices were very accessible. They ranged from six to ten yuan, with ten yuan being the upper limit, which even included seafood noodles!

Side dishes were only two or three yuan per plate, and the spicy stir-fried chicken or duck racks were also ten yuan per serving.

Yuxin doubted: "Zichen, if we set the prices this low, will we make any money?"

Other places charged at least fifteen yuan for seafood noodles, yet their most expensive noodle dish was only ten yuan; would they really not lose money?

"We will make money, look at this."

He handed Yuxin a small notebook, which contained the shop rent, labor costs, utilities, and the costs of various raw materials.

Zichen had calculated everything in great detail, considering almost every single aspect.

Gu Yuxin calculated it carefully several times and found it to be accurate and error-free; this cost accounting was truly brilliant, and as written in the notebook, it could completely serve as a case study to be taught in class!

But she thought about it carefully and realized something was wrong.

"You planned all these things in such detail. How did you manage to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

Among the recommendation quotas for their department, there was originally one for Sheng Zichen.

But he had declined the recommendation for postgraduate studies and instead got in through his own ability!

Zichen smiled indifferently: "I just took the exam casually, and I got in."
