Chapter 462 First Day of Business
Shen Jiaxu enthusiastically introduced the flavors and characteristics of the desserts to the guests, saying, "This cake is our shop's signature dish. It has a delicate texture and is sweet but not cloying. You can give it a try!"
"Wow, the owner and employees of this store are all so good-looking!" an online influencer said, holding up her phone to the camera.
Her clear and loud voice attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.
“Yes, and the desserts look delicious too,” another influencer said.
Her eyes darted around, searching for the best angle to capture the beautiful moment on her social media.
With the arrival of some online celebrities, the dessert shop has become even more bustling.
They all took out their phones to take pictures of the store's environment and desserts, and then shared them on their social media.
In no time, the dessert shop's name spread rapidly online, attracting even more people to visit and check it out.
However, as the number of guests increased, the situation began to get somewhat out of control.
Gu Suiwan never expected it to be so popular. She only hired five employees, but now, even with eight of them, she is still overwhelmed.
"What are we going to do? There are too many customers, we can't keep up at all," a shop assistant said anxiously.
She held the order in her hand, her face showing anxiety, and sweat dripping from her forehead.
"Don't rush, let's try our best to meet the guests' needs and not make them wait too long."
Gu Suiwan comforted him, though she was also a little anxious.
But she knew she couldn't panic; she had to stay calm.
"How about we find a few more helpers temporarily?" Li Yan suggested, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she spoke.
"Where can we find help now? And there's no time to train them."
Gu Tingyan frowned as he spoke, but his hands did not stop; he continued to quickly arrange the desserts.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Duan Yujing suddenly came up with a solution.
“We can contact nearby part-time students; they should be able to come and help soon.”
Duan Yujing immediately took out his phone and began contacting the relevant personnel.
The dessert shop's first day of business came to a close amidst excitement and busyness.
As night falls, the city lights gradually illuminate, twinkling like stars.
Inside Gu Suiwan's dessert shop, the lighting was soft, yet a sense of weariness permeated the air.
The tables and chairs were arranged in a somewhat messy manner, and some wrapping paper and ribbons were scattered on the ground, traces of the hustle and bustle of the day.
Gu Suiwan, Li Yan, and the others were all exhausted, slumped in their chairs like wilted eggplants.
Their faces showed signs of fatigue, but their eyes gleamed with a sense of accomplishment.
"Mom, I'm exhausted today, but I feel really great," Gu Suiwan said weakly.
Her voice was slightly hoarse, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.
Li Yan smiled and replied, "Yes, baby, seeing how popular the dessert shop is, it's all worth it."
Li Yan's voice sounded somewhat tired, but her smile was incredibly bright.
The next day, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains into Li Yan's quiet room.
The room was filled with a faint scent of lavender.
That was the flavor Li Yan usually liked; it helped her relax.
Li Yan was fast asleep on the bed, her hair slightly disheveled on the pillow, her face pale, and her breathing even and calm.
Gu Tingyan came home to retrieve an important contract.
He stood at Li Yan's door and gently knocked.
"Knock, knock, knock," the knocking echoed in the quiet corridor, but no one answered from inside.
Gu Tingyan assumed Li Yan wasn't home, so he took out his key and opened the door.
