Reborn in 2000: I just want to love a few people properly.

"Boss, there are so few customers today."

At the entrance of Zhuoyue Internet Cafe, the internet cafe manager was complaining bitterly to his boss, Wang Jun.

"That arcade is stealing our business; today's revenue isn't even half of yesterday's."

The network administrator handed the bill to Wang Jun.

With a sigh, Wang Jun waved his hand and said.

"I understand. I've already contacted a friend, and someone will come to check tomorrow."

Wang Jun smiled confidently: "You should also find some young and beautiful girls to come and dance every morning, and work as waitresses in the store."

Wang Jun has a strong business sense; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand firm in the face of the current industry downturn.

He quickly provided a solution and also proposed an improvement plan.

"By the way, try to keep wages low. After all, there are girls everywhere. If you don't want to work here, get out of here as soon as possible."

In the end, Wang Jun couldn't forget his identity as the boss, after all, every little bit saved counts.

As darkness fell, Wang Jun stared at the gradually bustling street and sneered.

......

As the city lights begin to twinkle, more and more people are leaving get off work, and those who didn't have time to experience it during the day are gradually arriving.

The previously sluggish sales suddenly surged.

Fortunately, the girls Liu Mei brought had recovered after the afternoon's rest and began to greet the customers with their sweetest smiles.

"Chen Ying, you should go back now. Your sister is waiting for you at home."

Xu Bo stopped hiding in the inner room to oversee the whole situation and came to the front to help out.

"No need, Brother Bo, let me help you with something first, otherwise there's nothing to do when we get back."

Seeing how well his childhood friend's business was doing, Chen Ying couldn't help but want to lend a hand.

Yang Xun had just bought a boxed lunch from outside and said, "Let's go back. Bo and I are fine here, and we have so many other buddies."

After spending a day together, Yang Xun started to treat these young people like brothers.

Looking around, Chen Ying realized that his presence or absence wouldn't make much of a difference, so he finished sweeping the floor and took his leave.

At 8 p.m., it should be the girls' time to get off work, but the store is still packed with customers, and the girls are willing to work overtime in order to earn more tips.

After a busy period of time, at nine o'clock, Song Leisong closed the thick security door amidst the reluctant complaints of the guests.

"Phew~"

Xu Bo, who was still a bit tired, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the colorful banknotes in the cash register.

The thickness of those red banknotes alone is at least four thousand, not to mention the other loose banknotes.

"Everyone's come over to collect their wages."

Xu Bo beckoned everyone over and first handed Liu Mei several bills that were over fifty yuan.

"You can divide it yourselves."

He counted out another 1,100 and handed it to Song Leisong.

At this moment, one of Song Leisong's underlings gently nudged his lower back. Although the movement was subtle, there was no indication that he was trying to hide it, so Xu Bo easily saw it.

At this moment, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had already thought of it.

The shop was on the verge of closing down, but after I took it over, it was given a second life.

Moreover, these operations of mine don't require any technical skill and can be easily copied.

Seeing so much money in front of you, it's perfectly normal to have some thoughts about it.

Song Leisong stared at the people in front for a while, and his brothers behind him reacted in an instant, taking a few steps forward to surround Xu Bo and Yang Xun.

"They should get this money; it was agreed upon."

At the height of the tension, Song Leisong spoke up to stop them, and with a wave of his hand, the young men behind him all obeyed and retreated.

Xu Bo stood behind the cashier, appearing calm on the surface, but in reality, he was sweating profusely.

If Yang Xun were to touch Xu Bo's back at this moment, he would be able to sense Xu Bo's tension.

Although he was prepared for the money to be taken away, Xu Bo was not afraid. If Song Leisong really took it, he was confident that he could make him return it in the same way he took it.

The main reason is that Xu Bo is afraid of getting beaten up.

He's afraid of pain.

"Here's your money, the agreed-upon fee for the store."

After stuffing the money into Song Leisong's pocket, Xu Bo took out another two hundred yuan and put it into Song Leisong's hand.

"Buy some cigarettes for the guys, they've had a tough day."

Because they were afraid that someone would cause trouble in the store or grope the girls, these young people stayed in the store almost the entire time.

"No need," Song Leisong initially declined.

"It's okay, it's okay. We've all worked so hard. Once this week is over, I'll take the guys out to have some fun."

Upon seeing this, Xu Bo immediately stuffed the money into Song Leisong's pocket.

Song Leisong couldn't refuse, so he thanked him a few times and accepted the gift.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Yang Xun and Liu Mei left.

The girls looked very happy, their shadows stepping on each other, and their words were full of joy.

After all, their earnings today are enough to cover half a month's living expenses.

Yang Xun and Liu Mei walked at the very back, holding hands and chatting and laughing.

Watching their departing figures, Xu Bo stood at the door and suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

"Damn, they can't actually be together, can they?"

Thinking that he had never held hands or kissed a girl, Xu Bo felt that it was useless to have so much money, as he had gained nothing in terms of love.

With that in mind, Xu Bo quickened his pace and headed to the water bar.

The shop was already closed for business, and Luo Qiaoqiao hadn't come looking for him all afternoon.

"Hello, when did Luo Qiaoqiao leave?"

Xu Bo stopped the manager and asked.

"Qiaoqiao, she left this afternoon."

After closing the security door, the manager said, "Young man, Qiaoqiao is a good girl, but she's a year younger than you. I wish you both the best when she gets into university."

Ever since the manager witnessed the two of them at the counter at noon, a long-lost girlish feeling has quietly resurfaced in her heart.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, who wouldn't envy them?

But she also knew that Luo Qiaoqiao was at a crucial stage in her studies, so she still gave her a subtle reminder.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'll head back now."

Hearing that Luo Qiaoqiao had left early that afternoon, Xu Bo became suspicious.

Logically speaking, when I passed by the water bar in the afternoon, I took a few steps ahead so that Luo Qiaoqiao wouldn't see me walking with He Yimei.

They'll probably come looking for me.

This little girl is quite interesting; she exudes a youthful charm and is as well-behaved and adorable as a girl next door.

Xu Bo was truly reluctant to part with the time he spent with her.

Just keep walking along the street.

On his way home, Xu Bo bought some food to fill his stomach.

This grilled cold noodle stall is only two shops away from Zhuoyue Internet Cafe.

Looking at the deserted scene inside, Xu Bo had a bad feeling.

Especially when he saw the boss standing at the door and saw his smiling expression.

Xu Bo felt like he was being watched by a tiger.
