"Xiao Yu?! Are you urgently looking for ?" Zhang San asked, puzzled.
Today isn’t the weekend, the young boss shouldn’t be off, right?
"Not looking for you! I’m here to pick up the goods!" Zhen Yu said cheerfully, "Let’s go inside to talk!"
Although Zhang San was full of suspicion, he nodded first and silently followed Zhen Yu as she turned back inside the room.
Just a few steps in, Zhen Yu stepped aside and pointed ahead, signaling Zhang San to see for himself.
"This, was this delivered at noon?!" Zhang San exclaid, looking at the cardboard boxes all over the floor, his mouth wide open. "We just had lunch, and you’ve moved everything already?!"
"There were many people on the other side, so it was moved quickly," Zhen Yu casually fibbed.
Zhang San didn’t think too much. Who sends goods and brings a crowd? A moving company?
At this mont, his mind was full of computers! Excitedly rubbing his hands, he imdiately asked, "How many units are these?"
"50 units, you guys start assembling! Another 50 units will arrive next weekend." Zhen Yu sighed, money was tight! Those 50 computers would still have to wait to be purchased.
"That’s perfect! By the ti these are assembled, those will arrive! It won’t delay anything!" Zhang San read sothing from Zhen Yu’s expression and quickly voiced his comfort.
His comfort was genuine and effective, so the worried look in Zhen Yu’s eyebrows imdiately disappeared.
"That’s true! You guys go ahead then! I have classes this afternoon!"
"Alright! Let see you out!" Zhang San escorted Zhen Yu out the door before returning to the internet café where everyone imdiately beca busy.

After evening self-study, Zhen Yu called Han Mingyue to ask him to mail the keys to Han Family’s shop in Qi City to her.
Han Mingyue agreed without hesitation. He had already discussed with his parents about the Zhen siblings needing a place to stay during the sumr break, so the next day Han Youliang mailed out the keys.
When the keys finally arrived over the weekend, coinciding with a clear sunny day, Zhen Yu had the contractor Old Wang help arrange a vehicle to move all personal items from the second floor of the internet café, including bookshelves and books, to the Han Family shop.
"Alright!" After Zhen Yu moved the last cardboard box from the vehicle to the ground, she solemnly said to Old Wang who ca with her: "Let’s start renovating the second floor tomorrow! Except for the bathroom, open everything up!"
"Don’t worry brother, you can count on ! I never drop the ball!" Old Wang patted his chest in assurance.
"Alright! I trust you!" Zhen Yu imdiately supported him and continued to arrange: "Finish renovating the second floor by Children’s Day, then imdiately start on the first floor! How about giving you fifteen days for the first floor?"
"No problem! It’s a full house renovation! Easy to manage!"
"Then it’s settled!" Zhen Yu finally decided.
In fact, over the past few days, Zhen Yu considered several options, but whether it was closing for renovation or waiting for the new internet café to open before renovating this one, none had less loss than keeping the first floor open for business while renovating the second floor!
You have to know, Zhen Yu was really tight on cash right now!
Buying gold jewelry in exchange for computers costs money! Renovations cost money! Purchasing computer desks and chairs costs money! Internet fees and staff wages are also significant expenses! Life is really full of holes everywhere, she couldn’t just completely close up shop!
So she had no choice but to instruct Li Si to start playing music through speakers from the day of renovation, hoping to retain at least half of the dayti turnover! If nothing else, there are still overnight bookings to keep things going!
——
In the following days, Zhen Yu was tense yet busy. She almost couldn’t rember a life where she wasn’t alone in this world!
After Saturday’s evening self-study, when Zhen Yu went to the internet café to inspect the renovation progress, Gu’s father suddenly appeared.
After more than a month, Gu Family’s takeout business was booming! If it wasn’t for Mrs. Zhen suddenly expressing to him that she hadn’t seen her children for a long ti, Gu’s father would hardly rember that next door to his wonton shop lived his stepson and stepdaughter.
Just in ti! He also had sothing to inquire about...
Gu’s father was still all smiles, calling out affectionately! "Xiao Yu! Your mom said yesterday that she missed you and your brother. It just so happens that tomorrow is Sunday, what do you think... shall we all have a al together?"
As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling face, and besides, he was sowhat an elder! So, Zhen Yu only pondered for a mont before nodding in agreent.
"Alright! Tomorrow night just co over a bit earlier with Xiao Yan! Uncle is heading back now!"
Zhen Yu politely followed him and said, "Take it slow! Let walk you out."
Before going to bed that night, Zhen Yu ntioned this to her brother. But recently, overwheld by studies, Zhen Yan casually agreed before returning to his room.
The next day was another busy day for Zhen Yu.
She kept busy until the late evening, then called her brother and walked one after another into Gu Family Wonton Shop, which they hadn’t visited for a long ti.
"Xiao Yan! Mom heard from Li Si’er that you and your sister moved to live at Han’s shop?!" Mrs. Zhen, who had been waiting in the lobby on the first floor, imdiately stood up and asked as soon as her children arrived.
"Yeah, there is a renovation going on." Zhen Yan truthfully replied.
"Why didn’t you tell mom if you had nowhere to live! There are exactly two empty rooms at mom’s place! No need to trouble outsiders!"
Zhen Yan glanced at his sister, didn’t make a sound, pretending he didn’t hear that comnt.
Gu’s father and Xiao Gu almost simultaneously bowed their heads to pretend to be busy, posing as if they had heard nothing.
Zhen Yu sarcastically smiled in her heart! Feeling a bit unpleasant, she looked at her mother whose stomach was bulging, and eventually, instead of saying "Can you even make such decisions?" she changed it to "No need to bother!"
—
Before dinner, Zhen Yu really thought this al was because of Mrs. Zhen’s longing and suggestion. But after the al started, she realized that she was naive despite not being young!
There’s no such thing as a free dinner!
Gu’s father lifted his glass and stood up saying a few formalities. Right after! As soon as he sat back down, he said, "I heard from Xiaoqing that she and you aren’t getting along too pleasantly at school?"
Zhen Yan instantly turned his head towards his sister, trying to communicate with eyes to confirm if she had been wronged!
Zhen Yu nodded slightly to her brother, then turned to look at the silent Gu Qing. She lightly tapped her finger on the outside of her rice bowl twice, and asked airily, "Calling for backup?"
Gu’s father furrowed his brow, and seeing this Mrs. Zhen imdiately said, "Xiao Yu! How can you talk like that! Just answer whatever your Uncle Gu asks you!"
Zhen Yu stared at Gu Qing for another mont before turning her head. But she did not look towards her mother, instead, she directly chuckled at Gu’s father, scolding, "Mr. Gu! Do you think because I would be concerned about my mother’s health and wouldn’t dare to get angry, you can use her to pressure ?"
A single faint sentence hit directly at the darkest corner of Gu’s father and Gu Qing’s hearts, causing both of their faces to change colors!
Gu’s father, his face unable to hang on, slapped the table and said, "Zhen Yu! You,"
"Smack!"
"Crash!"
The first sound was Zhen Yu standing up and directly throwing her rice bowl on Gu’s father’s bowl, and the second sound...
Zhen Yan, this worry-free one!
