The entire internet is urging Su Yu to release the official version.
However, Su Yu has no time.
Because his novel is going to be listed in a few days.
He glanced at the book reviews.
They were all comments urging him to update.
There were also some readers who were driven to the brink of madness by his writing block, threatening to send him razor blades.
"It's gone again!!!"
"Old thief Jiangnan, update quickly!"
"Does anyone know the author's address? No other intentions, just want to send some local specialties."
"Old thief Jiangnan, if you don't update soon, I'll make your writing as short as your update!"
"..."
Su Yu was also helpless in the face of so many urgent requests.
Actually, it wasn't that he intentionally blocked his writing.
It was simply because this book was too good, and he was too busy, and the word count he updated each day was too small.
That's why readers felt it wasn't enough.
But there was nothing he could do, because he was really too busy.
The book had not yet been listed, so there was no subscription, and therefore no income. However, the platform had a gift system.
When he opened it, he was surprised to find that the gifts alone had brought in tens of thousands in income.
Keep in mind that the Qingkong Literature platform does not have recommendations before a book is listed. The only exposure is for a few seconds when it is updated.
And before it was listed, he received so many gifts, not to mention free gifts like "fighting for love," but even "God-level certifications" worth thousands of yuan sent by wealthy readers, which was enough to show how much readers loved this book.
"Thank you all for your support of this book and for all the gifts!"
After thanking them in the comment section,
he added two more chapters.
Then he closed Lin Yanyu's computer.
"Little fairy, are you ready?"
He called out to the bathroom.
Not long after, the rustling sounds stopped after a few seconds.
Lin Yanyu came out.
She was wearing a light-colored long dress with a white long down jacket over it, and her hair was tied back, looking exceptionally pure and sweet.
It was the feeling of first love.
"What's the rush? Today is to see your parents, of course, I have to dress up carefully!"
She said indignantly, pouting her small lips.
"My little fairy is naturally beautiful. Cosmetics will only ruin this perfect face."
Su Yu walked over and kissed her pouting lips.
Mmm, strawberry flavor again.
It was like a soft candy, making one want to take a bite.
"Hehe, stop joking and let's go, it'll be noon soon."
Lin Yanyu giggled at Su Yu's teasing and then pushed him towards the outside of the dormitory.
Su Yu complied with her while rolling his eyes.
You know it's almost noon? You came to wait for me at eight in the morning and you're still here.
However, for the sake of his life, he naturally couldn't say such a thing.
...
Yan Yu Noodle Restaurant.
The name of the noodle restaurant opened by Su Yu's parents.
Although the school was about to go on vacation, because it was located in a commercial street, the customer flow was guaranteed even during the holidays.
The noodle restaurant was over a hundred square meters.
There were three waiters and one cashier in the noodle restaurant.
These people were all experienced employees transferred from other stores by Gong Shixiong Hot Pot.
At first, Su Yu's parents repeatedly refused.
They felt it was inappropriate to use someone else's shop and employees.
However, the person in charge of Gong Shixiong Hot Pot said that everything they did was for their own company, and they asked Su Yu's parents not to feel pressured.
The original words were: "We also get a share of the profits, so of course we have to do our best to keep the store running. If the noodle restaurant does well, we will also make money."
It's just that Su Yu's parents weren't fools. Gong Shixiong only got a 20% share of the profits, and after paying rent and labor, how much money would they make?
However, the person in charge of Gong Shixiong Hot Pot said they had professional budget personnel. Although they weren't making money for now, they would make money if the store became a chain.
Su Yu's parents didn't understand these explanations.
But Gong Shixiong Hot Pot was so big and ranked among hot pot restaurants nationwide, so they must have their own considerations.
Therefore, they didn't say anything more. The partners were professional, and they just needed to cooperate.
"Xiao Liu, you say it's almost mealtime, and we still have so few customers. Is our opening promotion not strong enough?"
Zhang Guizhi came out from the back kitchen.
She looked outside. The commercial street was bustling with people, but very few entered the restaurant to eat.
"Boss's wife, don't worry. We're not focused on traffic. Your cooking skills can completely build a reputation, so you don't need to invest too much money in promotions in the early stages."
Cashier Xiao Liu said with a smile.
She majored in marketing in college and worked in the marketing department of Gong Shixiong Hot Pot after graduation.
Not long ago, the company asked her to work as a cashier at the noodle restaurant. At first, she found it very absurd, but after the company promised a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, she happily accepted.
Amidst the envious glances of her colleagues, she became a noodle restaurant cashier.
"That's right, boss's wife. We've all tasted your cooking, and it's truly exceptional. Once customers finish eating and the word gets out, business will pick up."
The speaker was waiter Xiao Zhang.
He and the other two waiters were all among the top ten outstanding service staff of Gong Shixiong Hot Pot for the year.
Having performed outstandingly in such a large hot pot restaurant, they could handle this small noodle restaurant with ease.
"Hehe, you guys just say nice things. I've been cooking noodles for decades, but this is my first time opening a restaurant. Honestly, I'm a little nervous, but with your words, I feel reassured."
After Zhang Guizhi finished speaking, she went to the entrance of the store.
In fact, this commercial street was filled with high-end restaurants, Western restaurants, and coffee shops.
Their noodle restaurant opening here was quite risky.
After all, the consumer group here was considered upper-middle class.
They were not very interested in noodle restaurants.
"Xiao Liu, please play these songs."
At this moment, Su Zhengguo also finished his work and came out from the back kitchen. Although he couldn't cook noodles, he could help out.
There were only five or six customers in the store, so it wasn't busy.
He took out a piece of paper and handed it to cashier Xiao Liu.
The store usually played some music, not too loud. With some music, customers wouldn't feel too bored while eating noodles.
"Qing Hua Ci... Chi Ling... You He Bu Ke..."
"Boss Su, you're really keeping up with the times. These songs are the hottest online."
Xiao Liu looked at the song list, smiled, and operated the computer.
The songs given by Su Zhengguo were all popular online, and one of them was sung by the company's young master.
Speaking of this young master, he was the pride of the entire company.
He was both a second-generation rich heir and a popular singer. The entire Gong Shixiong Hot Pot was his fan.
"Hehe, I don't know what's popular. These songs were all written by my son."
Su Zhengguo said proudly when he mentioned Su Yu.
His son achieving great success made him, the father, feel very honored.
"Pfft... Boss, you're really joking. These songs were written by Ting Yu, who is the hottest right now. Judging by your son's age, he's probably just started college?"
Xiao Liu covered her mouth and chuckled. She thought Su Zhengguo was joking.
"I, Su Zhengguo, never lie. It's okay if you don't believe me. My son will be here soon, and you'll believe me then."
Su Zhengguo didn't say much more. He knew it was normal for others not to believe such things.
Moreover, the more others disbelieved, the more it proved his son's capabilities.
"Boss, are you bragging?"
"Boss, is your son really Ting Yu?"
"Then we should eat slowly and wait for your son to arrive so we can meet the legendary Ting Yu."
Su Zhengguo's voice was loud, and the customers also heard him and started to tease him.
"Then I'll wait and see."
Xiao Liu nodded with a smile. Although she didn't believe it, she didn't ask further. After all, Su Zhengguo was her other boss, and embarrassing the boss was a major taboo in the workplace.
