Chapter 191: Candlelight Dinner
"Student! Why don't you take a look at the opening of the Internet cafe, full LCD screen, leather sofa! New store opening, new users get 20 free after charging 50!"
"Student, do you want to take a look at the newly opened Internet cafe? It is an Internet cafe built by our students. It has a specially set up non-smoking area. The environment is very good. Look, there is publicity!"
"The students did it themselves? Which rich student did it? So powerful?"
"It's that Zhou Yuwen who wrote novels!"
"Zhou Yuwen? Oh, I know him, no, why did he open an Internet cafe?"
"Can he do it? Looks all right?"
"Why don't we go and see?"
On the first day of the Internet cafe’s opening, there were not many boys, but mostly girls, and they all came here for Zhou Yuwen’s name. They wanted to see whether the propaganda on the leaflets was true or not. This Internet cafe is really that good ?
After entering the door cautiously, I found that several people were already surfing the Internet. The environment of the Internet cafe is really good, the windows are bright and clean, and there are no wires all over the floor like other small Internet cafes.
The receptionist was Liu Yueru in a black lady's uniform, a suit and trousers worth 200 yuan from Taobao, which were worthless, and she put on a little lipstick, and she felt different immediately.
The lipstick was given by Zhou Yuwen. Liu Yueru was so old and hadn't put on lipstick yet, so some of them couldn't put on lipstick, but Zhou Yuwen was good at it. Zhou Yuwen carefully helped Liu Yueru put on lipstick.
Liu Yueru's pretty face was flushed, and Zhou Yuwen wiped it on Liu Yueru's lips after finishing painting. The intimate action made Liu Yueru's pretty face flush, and the big dragon and two tigers beside him laughed and said, "Sister, boss, kiss!" !"
"Go!" Liu Yueru blushed and beat her brother away.
Zhou Yuwen just helped Liu Yueru put on some makeup. After all, on the first day of opening, Liu Yueru was asked to work after putting on makeup.
On the first day, Zhou Yuwen must go to the Internet cafe to see if Liu Yueru's three siblings can manage the Internet cafe. If they can't, Zhou Yuwen may really have to hire someone again.
"Hello, do you want to go online?" Liu Yueru said to the two new women respectfully.
"It's really Zhou Yuwen!"
"Ah, so handsome."
The two girls became nympho against Zhou Yuwen who was standing with Liu Yueru in a suit.
Zhou Yuwen said, "Hello? Do you want to go online?"
"Well, um, how do you charge here?"
"Downstairs is 2 yuan an hour, upstairs is the VIP non-smoking area, 3 yuan an hour, we are now holding an event here, buy 50 and get 20 free." Zhou Yuwen said.
"Well," the two girls thought for a while, the environment here is so good, and they really need to surf the Internet, instead of staying in other dirty and messy Internet cafes, they might as well come here to surf the Internet in the future.
"Then you can get a card for the two of us, fifty yuan each." A girl said.
Zhou Yuwen said, "Okay."
Then let Liu Yueru handle it, and Liu Yueru went to handle it in a hurry.
The two girls continued to chat with Zhou Yuwen nympho. One girl said that she had read Zhou Yuwen's book and felt that Zhou Yuwen's writing was very good.
Zhou Yuwen said thank you for your support.
"Can you sign for us?" the girl asked with a smile.
Zhou Yuwen nodded and signed Mr. Zhou for the two of them.
After the two left, several girls cautiously entered this Internet cafe.
To be honest, on the first day of the opening of the Internet cafe, the effect was not as good as Zhou Yuwen imagined. The attendance rate was almost 50%, and the effective time of the day was only 15 hours. Then it was 10 yuan for the night, which was about the same for one night. Make two hundred.
The net profit of a machine is about RMB 1.51 for an hour, and the 15 hours is RMB 225. With a 50% attendance rate, the daily income is about RMB 2,500.
Seventy-five thousand yuan a month, excluding various expenses, water and electricity bills, etc., the net income is sixty thousand yuan.
In this case, it will take five months to pay back the capital. Sure enough, Internet cafes are not so profitable.
At first, Zhou Yuwen thought that the attendance rate of 5% was already very good, compared to other Internet cafes, it was indeed very good, but when he woke up the next day, he received an excited call from Liu Yueru: "Boss, boss, we don't have a computer! Guests are here There is no computer to access the Internet!"
Zhou Yuwen was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Good guy, I went to the Internet cafe the next day, and the Internet cafe was full of people clamoring to go online. It turned out that the first wave of people who ate crabs started to hype after returning.
"It's really an Internet cafe opened by Zhou Yuwen! And he's so gentle, he signed for us!"
"Sisters! I strongly recommend a newly opened Internet cafe to you. It is really great. There are no people in it, and the environment is very good. The most important thing is that the boss is very handsome! Sisters who want to surf the Internet, go and have a look!"
"The Internet speed is not slow at all, compared to the black Internet cafes outside the school, I don't know how much better it is!"
"Brothers, let's go to Leiting Internet Cafe to surf the Internet!"
"Thunder Internet Café? Isn't it the Internet Café opened by Zhou Yuwen? Can he do it?"
"I went with my girlfriend yesterday. The machines on his side are all brand new, and the screen doesn't freeze at all when playing games. There are also three-pack rooms and four-pack rooms, and the price is not expensive. Let's go and form a team together!"
"I'll go, I'll go! Let me tell you, there are so many girls over there, Xu Ling from our class directly applied for a 100 yuan card there yesterday!"
"Damn it! If you hadn't said it earlier, I would have gone if I knew Xu Ling was going!"
"I'm going too, I'm going too!"
All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of customers in the Internet cafe, and Liu Yueru was a little overwhelmed, both collecting money and selling drinks to everyone.
Fortunately, these rough jobs can be shared by the two big dragons and two tigers.
The two are big guys, but they are harmless to humans and animals, so they won't scare everyone.
Seeing how busy the next day was, Zhou Yuwen took off his coat and got busy with Liu Yueru. Zhou Yuwen likes to wear a white shirt, take off his coat, and roll up the cuffs. He looks like a school boy.
Over there, I was helping others to turn on the card, and the girls who came over looked flushed, asking Zhou Yuwen if he had a girlfriend, and even molested Zhou Yuwen directly if he was bold enough.
Zhou Yuwen didn't pay any attention to these, just doing his own thing honestly.
Then he got the title of a high-cold male god.
"Boss, can you turn on a machine for me too?"
"Okay, ID card." Zhou Yuwen didn't even look up, but when he looked up, he found that it was Jiang Ting.
Jiang Ting covered her mouth and secretly smiled over there.
"Why are you?"
"Can't I come online? It seems that your business is doing well." Jiang Ting said with a smile.
"It's a bit busy. I guess Yueru and the others won't be too busy. In a few days, if there are still so many people, I will hire a few more people." Zhou Yuwen said.
Jiang Ting nodded thoughtfully.
"Don't you want to go online? I'll turn on the phone for you."
"No need, you are so busy, I can't occupy the machine that you make a fortune with, can I help you?" Jiang Ting said, and went directly to the front desk, putting on a special anti-dirty apron.
"Help me tie it." Jiang Ting said to Zhou Yuwen with her back turned to Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen looked at Jiang Ting's long black hair and fair neck. Jiang Ting's neck was beautiful. The most important thing was that she was wearing a gold necklace on her neck. She hadn't noticed it before, but at this time, Zhou Yuwen discovered it.
She helped Jiang Ting tie the apron on and said, "Then I'm sorry, I've been really busy recently."
"Hello, a cup of Coke." Someone said at this time.
"Okay, here we come." Jiang Ting quickly integrated into the role and greeted the guests with a smile.
The guest who came to the Internet was taken aback: "Jiang? Jiang Ting?"
It's a classmate of Jiang Ting's student union. Jiang Ting said generously: "Hello, welcome to the Internet?"
The guest looked at Jiang Ting, then at Zhou Yuwen, as if he knew something, he said with a smile, "No wonder you are so diligent in publicizing?"
Jiang Ting blushed and lowered her head, Zhou Yuwen was curious: "What do you mean?"
"No, it's nothing, tell me which machine you are on, and I'll deliver the Coke for you." Jiang Ting immediately sent the man away.
Zhou Yuwen didn't understand it, but at this time someone turned on the phone, and Zhou Yuwen was busy there in a hurry.
The attendance rate reached 50% on the first day, soared to 90% on the second day, and the attendance rate has remained stable at around 70% since then.
Although they were a little busy, Liu Yueru's three siblings could barely keep busy.
Zhou Yuwen asked Liu Yueru if he needed to recruit people, but Liu Yueru smiled and said, "No, boss, I can do it!"
For her, being busy is more fulfilling and makes her feel useful.
Business is booming these days, and they earned nearly 10,000 yuan in three days. Zhou Yuwen felt that Jiang Ting had contributed a lot, so he specially invited Jiang Ting to have a meal.
Little girls like the idea of petty bourgeoisie. Girls from good backgrounds like Jiang Ting presumably prefer romanticism, so Zhou Yuwen took Jiang Ting directly to a western restaurant that he was familiar with in his previous life.
When the car drove to the entrance of the western restaurant, the doorman came over and opened the door naturally. Zhou Yuwen skillfully tipped him and gave him the car keys.
After Jiang Ting got off the car, she was flattered to see the high-end store decoration.
She only knew that Zhou Yuwen brought her to dinner, but she never expected Zhou Yuwen to bring her to such a high-end place.
"Let's go." Zhou Yuwen said with a smile.
Jiang Ting held Zhou Yuwen back, and said with some embarrassment: "Why don't we change to another one? This one is a bit too expensive."
"You are the one who brought you here. You are my hero, so I should reward you." Zhou Yuwen said lightly.
When Zhou Yuwen said this, Jiang Ting felt even more embarrassed, and was carried into the western restaurant with Zhou Yuwen's arms around her waist.
In fact, western restaurants are not considered high-end. If you have a meal, the average person is about 1,000 yuan. If you want to order red wine, you can just order it. It is about 2,000 yuan. The quality is not too bad, and you can barely make up for it. drink.
Zhou Yuwen skillfully ordered western food over there, and Jiang Ting looked on, full of surprises. She didn't understand why Zhou Yuwen knew this, but looking at the candlelight dinner and steak with red wine in front of her, Jiang Ting was really happy.
She asked Zhou Yuwen how he knew so much.
While cutting the steak, Zhou Yuwen replied that he had eaten it twice before.
"I was still very young at the time, maybe Qianqian didn't know."
Jiang Ting listened quietly to Zhou Yuwen telling about her own affairs. Zhou Yuwen said that she might have grown up with Su Qianqian, but to be honest, they were busy with their own things after high school.
"Qianqian's mother has strict requirements on Qianqian, and she enrolls in different cram schools every week, and I am a free-ranging child by nature, so I have nothing to do on weekends, and sometimes I skip classes. Experience everything, secretly save a sum of money to go to a western restaurant for a meal, and then go to a theater in the city to listen to an opera, anyway, it’s boring.”
Zhou Yuwen took a sip of the red wine and said lightly.
Zhou Yuwen said that he likes to travel alone, and he likes the feeling of enjoying loneliness alone. He took the train to Mount Tai alone in the middle of the night, and then climbed to Yuhuang Road to see the rolling sea of clouds and the rising sun.
That feeling is really beautiful.
Jiang Ting rested her chin on her hand and listened quietly.
The candlelight flickered on the table, and the flames danced in Jiang Ting's eyes.
"You eat my part, I'll cut up my part." Zhou Yuwen cut up the steak and brought it to Jiang Ting.
Jiang Ting didn't realize it for a moment, she was so focused on listening to Zhou Yuwen that she forgot to eat.
"I..." Jiang Ting faltered, trying to refuse.
"It's okay, just eat mine. I've been to this restaurant once before, and the steak tastes okay, but I don't know if it suits your taste." Zhou Yuwen said lightly.
It was the first time for Jiang Ting to receive such subtle care from others, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only drink some red wine from her glass to cover up the throbbing in her heart.
This night, the two chatted a lot. Jiang Ting is actually a very boring girl, and ordinary boys may not be able to pick up on her words. She would talk about Balzac, Marquez, and then Stendhal, she said. Zhou Yuwen is a Julien-style character.
Zhou Yuwen smiled and said that if you go to the guillotine, will you hold your head like Queen Margaret.
Jiang Ting burst out laughing, and the two chatted happily.
Jiang Ting let go of it completely. She drank some red wine and began to chat with Zhou Yuwen about her childhood. She was not happy in her childhood. Her father was an old-fashioned person. He not only let her study her own studies, but also let her learn the violin. Piano, dancing and all that shit.
The most important thing is that Jiang Ting's father restricted Jiang Ting's social interaction. He felt that those people had a purpose to make friends with his daughter, so no matter what, Jiang Ting's father was not willing to let his daughter socialize with others in school.
Jiang Ting's childhood, in retrospect, seems to have classes during the day. After class, she was picked up by the driver and sent to learn violin or dance.
Sometimes she really envies the children playing in the sand outside the car window.
"Zhou Yuwen, I really envy you. I think your father must be a very enlightened person." Jiang Ting looked at Zhou Yuwen and said enviously.
Zhou Yuwen chuckled, cut a piece of steak, put it in his mouth to chew gracefully, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of the red wine, under Jiang Ting's adoring eyes.
Zhou Yuwen said slightly sadly: "My father died before I was born."
