Chapter 359: Counting Money Together
Wen Shihua picked up Dandan and said, "Hey, little darling, do you miss grandpa?"
Dandan stuck her butt out and arched her back in his arms: "I thought about it!"
Wen Shihua laughed loudly with a kind look on his face.
After the two of them finished reminiscing about the past, they remembered Wen Wan and followed her into the house, asking her as they walked, "Have you eaten yet? We're eating right now."
Wen Wan said, "I've eaten."
Zhang Qianfeng stood up and greeted her.
Wen Wan smiled and nodded: "No need to greet me, just eat quickly, it's already this late."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Wen Shihua: "Dad, put him down, aren't you eating?"
Wen Shihua put Dandan on the sofa and turned on the TV for him, then went to the restaurant to finish his meal.
Wen Wan got up and made tea for him.
The father and daughter sat on the sofa and had a rare chat.
"How's it opening today?"
Wen Wan said, "I just took a look after school this afternoon. It's pretty good. I guess they haven't finished their work yet."
"That's good." Wen Shihua said, glancing outside. "It's getting late. If Dongping is busy, he probably won't have time to pick you up. You can stay here for one night. I'll have Xiao Zhang take you to school tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, that's what I planned." It was already this late, and she hadn't planned to leave since she came back.
Lu Dongping originally said that he would come to pick her up after he was done with his work, but she refused.
It takes more than ten stops to get from Tonghua Lane to the compound, and the ride time is too long.
"Dad, I plan to take some time to learn how to drive during the holidays."
Wen Shihua asked, "Aren't you going to do an internship during the holidays?"
"The summer vacation is almost two months long, and the internship time is more than 20 days, so there is still time left!" The internship in the sophomore year is actually to familiarize yourself with the working environment and work processes on the spot. The real internship will be in the second semester of the junior year. After determining the internship place, you will actually start working after entering.
Wen Shihua said, "Okay, it's good to learn it. It will be convenient for you to go wherever you want in the future. I'm thinking that if Dongping really wants to make his business successful, he'll need to buy a car, so he has to learn it too."
After saying that, he paused for a moment and then asked Wen Wan, "The last time I saw your third uncle, I heard him say that Qingming has a girlfriend?"
Wen Wan nodded: "Yes! He is my classmate, also in the Economics Department of Hua University. You saw him the day before yesterday, with my seventh brother."
Wen Shihua then remembered: "Oh, it's that girl? I have some impression of her."
That day, he was talking to someone else and didn't pay much attention.
Wen Wan hummed: "Yes! It's her. My seven brothers still have very sharp eyes."
Wen Shihua chuckled, shook his head gently, and sighed. His children had grown up and started their own families, and he was really old.
Not long after the father and daughter talked, it was completely dark outside.
Dandan took a nap in the afternoon and is still very energetic.
Wen Shihua was used to going to bed early and getting up early, so he watched TV with him for a while and then went into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, Lu Dongping's voice came from outside: "Wanwan, open the door!"
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then she went outside in her slippers, turned on the light outside and opened the door for him: "Why are you here now? Didn't you say you don't have to pick me up if it's too late? I'm exhausted after a long day."
Lu Dongping pushed his bicycle into the yard and said, "I'm not here to pick you up. I'm staying here tonight."
As he said that, he put the bicycle away and went into the house.
Dandan was obsessed with TV. When he heard the noise, he slipped down from the sofa and shouted "Dad" at the door. Lu Dongping reached out to hug him, but he turned around and ran back, sitting on the sofa and continuing to watch TV intently.
My aunt was getting ready to go to sleep when she heard the sound. She came out to take a look and said with a smile, "Dongping is back! Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll make you something."
Lu Dongping said, "I ate, I ate, I came here after eating."
Only then did the aunt come back into the house.
"Dad is asleep?"
Wen Wan said "hmm", and Wen Shihua came out of the house wearing a white cotton vest.
"Wanwan said you were very busy today. Why are you back at this time?"
Lu Dongping smiled and said, "Today is the first day of business. The results are good. I want to share it with Dad and Wanwan."
Wen Shihua smiled and said, "That's good, that's good."
Lu Dongping said, "It's getting late, Dad. You should rest and don't worry about me. I'll get up tomorrow morning and go jogging with you."
How long has it been since we went out together?
Wen Shihua nodded: "I can do it." After that, he looked at Dandan and said: "Do you want to sleep? Grandpa has to sleep. If you don't get up tomorrow morning, you will be spanked."
Upon hearing this, Dandan suddenly felt that the TV was no longer interesting. He turned around and pouted at Wen Wan: "Mom, can Dandan go to Auntie's house with you again tomorrow?"
Wen Wan reached out and pinched her chubby face: "No, Mom is busy these days, just stay at home with Grandpa."
Dandan wanted to cry, so he slid down from the sofa and went into the house angrily.
He had no objection to accompanying his grandfather. After all, there were many friends here and it was fun, but he didn't want to get up early in the morning to run.
Wen Shihua laughed as he watched him enter the room: "I'll go see him, you guys should get some rest early too."
Wen Wan responded.
Turning around, he asked Lu Dongping, "There's hot water in the kitchen. Do you want to take a shower?"
"No need, I rinsed when I came here. I'll add some water for you so you can wash." After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen.
When Wen Wan finished washing and returned to the room, she saw a small blanket on the bed with a pile of money on it, all neatly arranged.
Lu Dongping waved at her: "Come sit here, I'll wipe your hair."
Wen Wan sat down on the bed and pointed at the pile: "What are you doing?"
Lu Dongping took a dry towel and wrapped the tip of her hair in his hand and said, "Today's sales, I brought it here to count for you."
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, turning her head to look at him: "You wouldn't run all the way here in the middle of the night just to give me money to count, right?"
Lu Dongping hummed, "I'm counting it for you. Business is especially good today. It wasn't very good in the first half of the day, but from lunch until almost dark in the afternoon, the store was packed."
After saying this, he paused and said, "After all this trouble, I finally see some signs of success and some benefits. I want you to be happy with me."
Wen Wan turned around and put her arms around his strong waist: "Well, thank you!"
"I should thank you. Without your support, I would never have taken this step."
Wen Wan chuckled and rubbed against his chest: "I'm sleepy."
"Then you have to dry your hair before you go to sleep, otherwise you will have a headache later."
Wen Wan said, "You haven't been home for so long, and no one has wiped my hair for me."
"I won't do that again. I will try to be there whenever you wash your hair and help you wipe it."
Wen Wan sat up and said, "Go on, you wipe your hair and I'll count the money." As she spoke, she started to sort the money one by one.
The clothes Lu Dongping brought back were purchased for a few yuan each, with the most expensive being around forty or fifty yuan. But after ironing and hanging them in the store, the cheapest ones would fetch upwards of twenty yuan, while the most expensive ones would fetch a hundred and fifty or sixty yuan. Even with a buy-one-get-one-free deal, it was still a huge profit.
In just half a day, the turnover almost exceeded 10,000 yuan.
Wen Wan asked him: "I told you to keep a record, did you remember it?"
"I've got it," Lu Dongping replied. "I've brought the account book with me, too."
As he spoke, he let go and reached into his pocket to pull out the account book, showing it to Wen Wan. "I made a spreadsheet according to your instructions. Items with the same purchase price are replaced with numbers. Every time I sell one, I'll put a mark on it. On the side, it's noted that it's a gift. It's a bit messy, and I haven't had time to sort it out yet."
"It's okay, I'll roughly calculate the profit first." Wen Wan took a piece of paper and started writing a draft.
After finishing the work, she showed it to him and teased him with a smile: "Boss Lu is amazing, keep it up!"
Lu Dongping lowered his head and kissed her pink lips: "Well, I will definitely work hard."
"By the way, have you counted the goods? Can we keep up with the three-day event?"
Lu Dongping said, "Donglin didn't go to night school today. He's working overtime with his staff there. I took a quick look and everything seems fine. The best sales will only be for these three days. Once the buy one get one free sale ends, selling at this price won't be as hot as it is now. Unless new models are released later, then maybe things will be better, but they won't be comparable to these few days."
He knew what was going on, so Wen Wan didn't ask any more questions. After he had dried his hair and put away the things on the bed, they lay down in each other's arms. Only then did she tell Lu Dongping what happened in the afternoon.
"I took Dandan back to the compound this afternoon. After I got in the car, guess who I ran into?"
Lu Dongping looked at her, waiting for her next words.
Wen Wan didn't deliberately keep him in suspense and continued, "Do you still remember those educated youth who were sent to Lujiazui a few years ago? The one who was said to have been abducted by human traffickers, Zhang Yun? I actually ran into her on the bus. What a coincidence."
"I felt she looked familiar the moment we met, but I didn't recognize her. She did recognize me."
"You said she disappeared, and so many people on the team went out to look for her but couldn't find her. She's a girl, her food supply and household registration are all in Lujiazui. Even if she had some money and some tickets, without a letter of introduction, where could she have gone?"
"I've been in Lujiazui for five years, and I haven't heard anything about her since she disappeared. I'd almost forgotten she existed, and then she suddenly popped up. It's quite a coincidence that I ran into her in the capital. It's quite strange."
Lu Dongping frowned slightly. "It's quite strange. After the accident, we couldn't find her. Our local government should have notified her family. I'm not sure what happened afterwards. I don't know whether they found her or not, but before I left Lujiazui, her food supply and household registration were still with the team and hadn't been transferred back."
After saying that, he pondered for a moment, "She's from the capital, right?"
Wen Wan couldn't remember clearly: "The group that came at that time included people from the capital and provincial capitals. I really have no idea where she was from."
Lu Dongping said, "I'll find time tomorrow to call Brother Dongcheng and ask him to help check if Zhang Yun's household registration and food supply are still in Lujiazui."
"If he's gone, then there's no problem. We're just overthinking it. If he's still there, just tell him."
