From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Chapter 203: Arrangements

Jiefangbei!

Shufen Hot Pot.

"Ladies, your total for the six of you comes to 278. We’ll just round it down to 270 for you," Su Chen said as he handed over the receipt.

The customer took it and gave it a quick glance. After confirming it was correct, she promptly pulled out her phone to scan the QR code and pay.

"BEEP! Payment of 270 received!"

"Take care, ladies. Please come again." As the last few customers left, Su Chen stood up from his chair to stretch. He had been sitting for five or six hours straight, and his butt was killing him.

"Sigh... I really brought this on myself," Su Chen murmured, a wry smile on his face. ’I feel like slapping myself a couple of times.’

’He had no idea what had gotten into him. To think that staying home was boring, and to actually volunteer to come help out at his mom’s hot pot restaurant.’

What he hadn’t expected was his mom’s reaction. She had just rolled her eyes at him and mocked him for having too much time on his hands. She’d said that if he really tried to help out at the restaurant, she doubted he’d last even a single day.

Su Chen’s pride couldn’t take a hit like that. ’It’s just helping out at a hot pot restaurant,’ he had thought. ’How hard can it be?’

On the spot, Su Chen had puffed out his chest and righteously guaranteed he could definitely stick it out.

And so, Su Chen began his "life experience" at the hot pot restaurant.

Right off the bat, Su Chen chose to be a waiter. He figured it wouldn’t be a very tiring job—just taking a few orders and carrying out some dishes.

But to his great surprise, he didn’t even make it through one day. The evenings were especially brutal. Business was absolutely booming, and he was on his feet for hours without a single break.

He was either taking orders from customers or on his way to the back kitchen to carry out dishes. By a little after nine in the evening, Su Chen really couldn’t go on and just gave up. Of course, Chen Shufen had a good long laugh at his expense.

As the saying goes, it’s all a matter of pride. Su Chen didn’t want to throw in the towel after just one day. In the end, he had to swallow his pride and negotiate with Chen Shufen, taking over his mom’s post as the cashier.

"Well now, is our young master tired already? It’s only your second day and you can’t take it anymore!" Chen Shufen said with a teasing smile as she walked in from outside and saw Su Chen stretching.

"Says who? I was just getting up to see if there were any customers left!" Su Chen immediately changed the subject. "Mom, weren’t you inspecting the other stores? What brings you here?"

Hearing this, Chen Shufen gave her son a knowing look. Of course, she saw right through his little attempt to save face, but she didn’t call him out on it.
