Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

The next morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten with a pale, fish-belly-like white.

Chen Dong was like a little bird infused with boundless energy, jumping out of bed early.

He tiptoed into the bathroom and turned on the tap.

The cool water splashed on his face, instantly waking Chen Dong, who was still a little dazed.

After a quick wash and changing into some comfortable clothes, Chen Dong opened the door, went downstairs, and rode his bicycle.

The wheels began to turn nimbly, just like Chen Dong's joyful mood at that moment, leaving unique tracks on the street.

Soon after, Chen Dong arrived at Guo Miao's building.

He raised his head, took a deep breath, and then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Guo Miao, Guo Miao, get up!"

The sound seemed to have grown wings, echoing back and forth in the corridor.

A little while later, Guo Miao peeked out from upstairs, still half asleep, her hair a mess like a bird's nest.

Upon seeing that it was Chen Dong, he seemed to be struck by lightning, instantly becoming more alert.

Guo Miao squinted and replied, "Brother Dong, so early? Wait for me."

Soon, Guo Miao hurriedly rode his bicycle out of the building.

Chen Dong smiled and said to him, "Miaozi, go pick up Yu Qin. We have a lot to do today, so be quick about it."

Guo Miao nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, Brother Dong, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he rode his bicycle at breakneck speed toward Yu Qin's house, as if something was chasing him from behind.

Chen Dong then turned his bike around and rode towards Chu Mengran's house.

When he arrived at Chu Mengran's house, he found that Chu Mengran was already waiting at the door.

She was like a flower blooming in the morning, wearing a light blue dress, looking exceptionally fresh and charming in the soft morning light.

Upon seeing Chen Dong arrive, Chu Mengran's face immediately lit up with a sweet smile, like sunlight piercing through the clouds.

Chen Dong quickly went to meet him, and the two walked side by side toward the Hunan restaurant.

Upon entering the Hunan cuisine restaurant, one sees Chen Dong's elder sister, Chen Xiumei, diligently wiping the tables and chairs.

Seeing them come in, Chen Xiumei waved warmly and greeted them, "Mengran, come sit down. Why are you here so early today? You're usually not this early."

Chu Mengran replied with a smile, "Big sister, I have something to do today, so I'm here early."

Then the two of them sat down and chatted happily, while Chen Dong watched from the side, and everyone waited for the others to arrive.

Not long after, Guo Miao arrived with Yu Qin.

Guo Miao said, panting heavily, "Brother Dong, we're here."

Seeing that they were all present, Chen Dong stood up and clapped his hands vigorously.

Then, Chen Dong began to systematically assign tasks to everyone.

"Guo Miao and Yu Qin, you two go to the job market and post job openings for a chef and three dishwashers."

"Make sure it's eye-catching; get them to come here for the job interview this afternoon."

"It's okay if you can't come this afternoon, you can come tomorrow."

"But you need to tell those who want to work here about our advantages, such as how I pay higher wages, at least 150 a month for chefs and 50 a month for dishwashers, understand?"

Guo Miao and Yu Qin exchanged a glance, then nodded to show they understood. After receiving their mission, they set off.

Then, Chen Dong looked at his eldest sister, Chen Xiumei, and said earnestly, "Elder sister, take Mengran with you later and teach her some simple management skills."

"As you know, our restaurant is opening at the end of this month. There will be a lot of people and things to do then. It would be even better if Mengran could help out."

As he spoke, Chen Dong carefully took out a book he had bought yesterday, titled "The Training of Western British Maids," from his bag and handed it to his eldest sister, Chen Xiumei.

"Big sister, you can refer to the above to learn and teach Mengran."

"I would also appreciate it if you could teach the female students who come to work during the summer vacation a basic lesson using this."

"However, we don't need to copy it completely. Just get the general idea. After all, this is a Chinese restaurant, so we should take the essence and discard the dross."

Chen Xiumei took the book, her eyes filled with curiosity. She flipped through it while nodding in agreement, "Dongzi, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After settling things at the shop, Chen Dong set off on his bicycle again.

This time, his destination was the clothing factory owned by Chen Guorui, the son of his second uncle, Chen Jianqian.

At this moment, Chen Guorui was sitting listlessly in a corner of the garment factory, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his brow furrowed in worry.

He looked at the sewing machine and the few female workers in front of him, feeling helpless.

In 1993, people's living standards were generally low, and many people only earned a few dozen yuan a month.

For most people, there's simply no extra money to buy clothes regularly.

Therefore, Chen Guorui's private garment factory was very unprofitable, with only ten female workers and eight sewing machines in the entire factory, and very few orders.

Chen Dong's arrival surprised his second uncle, Chen Jianqian, and his cousin, Chen Guorui.

Chen Jianqian was taken aback at first, then quickly stepped forward, a delighted smile on his face, and said, "Dongzi, what brings you here?"

"I heard from your parents that you did exceptionally well on the college entrance exam. This is such a wonderful thing! You truly are the pride of our family!"

"We'll have dinner at our house in a few days, and your second uncle will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Chen Guorui nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, cousin, congratulations!"

"With such excellent grades, he's bound to have a bright future; he might even become a high-ranking official."

Chen Dong smiled and replied, "Second Uncle, Cousin, thank you for your blessings. I've come this time because I need your help with something."

Chen Jianqian and Chen Guorui exchanged a glance, then asked in unison, "What's wrong? Tell me."

Chen Dong then discussed with them the matter of customizing 70 maid outfits.

After hearing this, Uncle Chen Jianqian frowned with a puzzled look and asked, "Dongzi, where did you get the money? Ordering so many clothes must cost a lot of money."

"Besides, this maid outfit doesn't look like a normal outfit. Would anyone actually wear it? Would it even sell? You shouldn't waste your money like this."

Chen Dong helplessly spread his hands and explained, "Second Uncle, I know a friend who made tens of thousands of yuan by investing in stocks with me."

“My parents know about this, so you don’t need to worry about the source of the money.”

"As for these clothes, they definitely have a proper purpose, but how exactly they are used involves trade secrets and cannot be disclosed for the time being."

"But I can assure you, I'm not wasting money."

Chen Jianqian and Chen Guorui were both shocked upon hearing this.
