Chapter 390 I Have Never Seen So Much Money
She sat in her seat, looking up at Zheng Yifeng with a stiff expression.

“Is that really the case?” Zheng Yifeng was puzzled. He then said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Teacher Su… This is my first time as a class monitor, and there are indeed many things I don’t understand. I will try my best to keep up with your pace in the future.”

Su Miaomiao turned her head away with a stiff neck, feeling very uncomfortable. She always felt that Zheng Yifeng was punching her with his cotton fists.

Why is he suddenly keeping a distance from me? Is it his girlfriend’s request? Su Miaomiao held her forehead, a little confused.

Zheng Yifeng: “Teacher?”

Su Miaomiao looked at him with a complicated expression: “It’s okay, I… I’m not angry with you, your squad leader did a good job, you’d better discuss your affairs with me in advance in the future.”

Zheng Yifeng nodded: “That’s great, thank you for your understanding, I will work hard to fulfill my role as class monitor in the future.”

Before Su Miaomiao could respond, he turned around and left the office, closing the door gently.

Su Miaomiao opened her mouth half way, looked at the closed door, and then had to close it again.

She raised her hands and scratched her hair: “Oh my, I’m so annoyed…”

Su Miaomiao put her hands down, stared at her reflection on the computer screen in front of her with messy hair, her eyes full of depression.

In the office with only one person, she took off her teacher’s coat and looked like an ordinary girl who was trapped in the problems of youth.

Zheng Yifeng left the teaching building, raised his lips, and chanted in his heart: “If you can do something, show that you can’t do it; if you are using something, show that you are not using it; if it is near, show that it is far away; if it is far away, show that it is near.”

“interesting.”

……

The next morning, Lu Yuanqiu came to the Renjian Fireworks Restaurant with a pile of printed flyers.

It was not yet noon, and there were not many students in front of the “Xia Yiwan Noodles” shop, but the flow of people was still much greater than in front of other shops.

Lu Yuanqiu put the pile of flyers on the table. He looked into the store and found that Aunt Xu had added two pots for cooking noodles. There were fewer people in the store now, and only Aunt Xu was busy in the store. Bai Qingxia was lying on the counter and writing something. Lu Yuanqiu took a closer look and found that she was keeping accounts.

“How much money did you make?” Lu Yuanqiu lay beside him curiously.

Bai Qingxia smiled, looked around, and whispered, “From the day before yesterday to now, the net profit of the store is probably close to one thousand yuan.”

Lu Yuanqiu glanced at Aunt Xu who was busy, and lowered his voice to Bai Qingxia: “How did you two divide the money?”

Bai Qingxia was very wary of this topic. When she heard Lu Yuanqiu ask this, she walked out of the store and waved at Lu Yuanqiu quietly, indicating that Lu Yuanqiu should sit with her in the corner.

After the two sat down, Lu Yuanqiu couldn’t stop smiling. Seeing this girl’s calculating look, Lu Yuanqiu could imagine that she would hide in the bridal chamber and secretly count the gift money on her wedding day.

But by the time she gets married… I guess she won’t be short of money.

Bai Qingxia’s words pulled Lu Yuanqiu back to his senses: “I’ve always felt that I need to go to class later, and I won’t be in the store much, so I won’t be able to contribute much, so I want to give Aunt Xu more money, but I also feel that without my sauce, there won’t be so many people eating noodles, so I should take more.”

Lu Yuanqiu touched her head and said, “Did you forget? You are the boss now, and she is your employee.”

Bai Qingxia lowered her head with a depressed expression: “I know… maybe I still don’t have the potential to be a boss. I always feel that I will treat Aunt Xu unfairly… so I gave her a salary of 200 yuan a day.” Lu Yuanqiu was a little surprised: “If she was just a noodle cook, this salary would be a little high. It’s not that you don’t have the potential to be a boss, but that you don’t have the potential to be a profiteer.”

After Lu Yuanqiu finished speaking, he took a flyer and gestured to her, “I printed the words ‘meal delivery to the dormitory’ on this flyer. If the store opens a takeaway service, the daily sales should increase a lot.”

Bai Qingxia took a look and found that the flyer in Lu Yuanqiu’s hand still divided the band and the store into half the area respectively, and this time the store’s advertisement was on the top and the band’s advertisement was on the bottom.

“Why don’t you do as I say?” Bai Qingxia said angrily.

Lu Yuanqiu acted as if he should be like this: “I was originally advertising for your store, and I didn’t contribute anything from the beginning to the end when you bought this store. Why should I take advantage of you so much?”

Bai Qingxia was still unhappy, with her eyebrows drooping.

“Okay, I received your kindness. Anyway, I look so handsome on the flyer, everyone can see it at a glance.” Lu Yuanqiu laughed.

Bai Qingxia’s head sank, and she propped her chin with both hands. Her fair and tender face was squeezed fleshily by her palms. She stared at the empty table for a moment, depressed, and suddenly muttered to herself:

“Auntie Xu’s salary is 200 yuan a day, but she is definitely too busy to handle it all by herself, so we have to hire another person. This person’s salary can be slightly lower, so let’s say 100 yuan. The rent, utilities and food costs will be 250 yuan a day.”

“If we recruit students to deliver food, we definitely can’t give them a fixed salary. After all, we sell too many portions, so we have to do the same as some restaurants and charge 5 cents per delivery. According to the current situation, if things go well, we can sell about 200 portions of noodles a day, and a bowl of noodles costs yuan.”

When Lu Yuanqiu was about to do mental arithmetic, Bai Qingxia had already done the math. She said, “So my maximum net income for a day is 550 yuan!”

Bai Qingxia straightened her upper body in surprise.

Lu Yuanqiu clapped his hands gently: “That’s amazing, amazing, 550 yuan a day, that’s more than yuan a month.”

“Such a lot of money! I’ve never seen so much money before…” Bai Qingxia held her hands in front of her in disbelief.

Lu Yuanqiu nodded: “Wait a few days, you can find someone to renovate the store. At least the sign can’t be covered with paper. In a few days, the price of noodles can be slightly raised.”

Bai Qingxia suddenly shook her head: “Don’t mention it, six yuan a bowl is already very expensive.”

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, “You are the boss, you have the final say.”

Bai Qingxia happily shook her knees under the table. She hadn’t worn her pretty little dress these past few days because she had been busy in the store.

At this time, Lu Yuanqiu saw the uncle walk into the store. The uncle looked around, and Lu Yuanqiu quickly waved to him.

After the uncle sat down, he stood straight and looked at Bai Qingxia opposite him with admiration.

Although Bai Qingxia didn’t communicate much with the uncle, she still smiled at him stiffly at this moment, because she felt that the uncle looked very simple, very much like some of the elders living in Guihua Lane.

Lu Yuanqiu said to Bai Qingxia, “From today on, uncle will be the delivery student for Xia Yiwan Noodles. He has quit his original job.”

Bai Qingxia nodded quickly after hearing this: “Of course.”

At this time, the uncle suddenly raised his hand and said, “Well… I have an idea. Isn’t Xiao Xia’s store planning to hire someone? Can I help cook noodles and deliver meals at the same time?”
