Stop giving me bad reviews, or I'll become the richest person in the world!

Do you think I did the right thing?

"You guys say I have a system, so why are there still so many people I can't save?"

"I never wanted to be Jesus, God, or Buddha, but for some reason, seeing such scenes still makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

As usual, Wang Aiguo sat on the recliner with a pot of tea and five cups beside him. He drank from one cup himself and filled the other four cups with tea.

Just as Wang Aiguo was talking to himself, he suddenly heard footsteps from the side.

Wang Aiguo turned around and saw that it was Da Lian coming downstairs. Da Lian, upon seeing Wang Aiguo, jumped up in fright.

"Holy crap, what are you doing sitting here so late at night? You scared me!"

Upon hearing the big-faced voice, Wang Aiguo gave a wry smile and said...

"It's nothing, it's just that after Lao Du and his mother came over, I don't know why I felt a tightness in my chest, so I wanted to come and sit for a while. What about you? Why did you come down?"

Upon hearing this, Big Face remained silent for a moment, then walked to the refrigerator next to him, took out a can of Sprite, opened the can, took a sip, and sat down next to Wang Aiguo.

"Don't tell me you're feeling blocked up, I'm feeling blocked up too."

After Da Lian said that, Wang Aiguo fell silent and just sat there quietly.

And so the two grown men sat in the empty shop, quietly watching the scene outside.

A while later, when Da Lian discovered that there were five more cups on Wang Aiguo's small coffee table, he was speechless.

"Sit down here, why are you putting out five cups again like always? You're all alone, and you always need five cups, it looks terrifying!"

"What's so scary about it? What does it have to do with you if I put a cup down?"

"But you're clearly all alone here, yet it feels like you're having tea with four other people. That's a really strange feeling, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Aiguo suddenly became interested, then turned to look at the big face.

"What if I told you there are actually four other people here?"

After those words, Big Face suddenly fell silent. At that moment, Big Face inexplicably felt a little cold.

This kind of cold is different from the cold of the weather; it's a feeling of chill rising up from the soles of your feet.

"Stop joking, okay?"

Wang Aiguo didn't say anything, he just smiled and took another sip of tea.

"Big Face, you don't know, I used to dislike drinking tea, but my former class monitor loved it. Over time, I developed the habit too, drinking either beverages or tea. I didn't even realize that this was a way of alternating between warm and cold drinks."

Wang Aiguo rarely talked about his own affairs, but this time, when he did, Da Lian became interested.

"You still have a class monitor? What class monitor? The one from your school days?"

Wang Aiguo shook his head.

"No, he was my squad leader in the army."

Upon hearing this, Da Lian stared at Wang Aiguo in shock, then looked him up and down.

"You were in the army? Good heavens, boss! You can't believe someone like you joined the army? With that face of yours, there's no righteousness in you at all. You're not exactly a fierce demon, but you're definitely got a face full of scars. When you're not smiling, you look like a human trafficker, and when you smile, you look like a terrorist. Do you think the army would even accept someone like you?!"

Hearing this, Wang Aiguo was speechless. Big Face's mouth was slowly turning into a controlled weapon, just like his.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore! I'm going back to sleep. You should go to sleep early too, you have work to do tomorrow."

After saying that, Wang Aiguo got up and went upstairs. When Da Lian saw Wang Aiguo go upstairs, he didn't say anything more and followed him upstairs.

The next day, Wang Aiguo took Lao Du's mother to the hospital for a full check-up. Although Lao Du's mother was not in particularly good health, her symptoms were not very serious; malnutrition was the key issue.

Actually, as long as you eat well and take medication in time, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Old Du didn't want a salary; he only wanted food and drink provided. So all the money Old Du earned was transferred to his mother by Wang Aiguo.

With the village chief and others cooperating in taking care of her, it's definitely not a problem for Old Du's mother to live for many more years, and even living to the ripe old age of eighty is not a big deal.

After explaining everything, Wang Aiguo personally drove Lao Du's mother home and promised her that he would bring Lao Du back for about ten days every month.

Upon hearing this, Old Du's mother almost knelt down before Wang Aiguo.

For Lao Du's mother, it was already a blessing that someone would accept her son and give him a meal, but she never expected that they would also be willing to give her family money.

So in Lao Du's mother's eyes, Wang Aiguo might be the real Monkey King.

But the more this happened, the more suffocated Wang Aiguo felt.

How many people like Lao Du are there in this world? And how many people like Lao Du's mother are there?

Time passed at a leisurely pace, and soon, Wang Aiguo's vegetable supermarket had been open for a month.

A month later, Zhao Dalong and Zhao Haitang met at a coffee shop to settle their accounts.

"The calculations are all done. Business isn't particularly bad, but it's not exactly great either. The average daily turnover is 2,000 yuan, which is 60,000 yuan a month. With 30 stores, the total is around 1.8 million yuan."

Zhao Haitang spoke while typing on the computer, and Zhao Dalong nodded in agreement.

"About 1.8 million. Then there are the employee costs. Our company has a total of 90 people. Including social insurance and housing fund, plus food and accommodation subsidies, it will cost about 10,000 per person."

"After deducting 900,000 from 1.8 million, only 900,000 is left. There are 30 stores, and the rent is relatively cheap, ranging from 5,000 to 6,000. If we calculate it at 5,000, it would be 150,000, leaving 750,000."

"Of the 750,000, 600,000 is the cost, which is the money for purchasing fruits and vegetables. That leaves only 150,000. From that 150,000, we still need to deduct more than 100,000 for transportation costs, vehicle depreciation, and so on."

As they did the calculations, Zhao Dalong and Zhao Haitang felt a little embarrassed. After all the calculations, although Wang Aiguo had opened thirty stores, he only actually received about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. The profit was too low.

After finishing the calculations, Zhao Haitang tossed the computer aside and then covered her head with her hands.

"Sigh, our boss is so good to us, investing so much to open these shops. If he only earns 30,000 to 50,000 a month, how many years will it take him to break even!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dalong was filled with shame.

"Yeah, people can't just do good deeds all the time without considering the costs. Even if the boss is great, we can't keep going through all this trouble. No, next month I have to make my employees work harder, especially in terms of customer service! Let them put up with a little rough time from now on, just try to sell more!"

"That makes sense. We can't completely follow the boss's lead. He's looking out for us and doesn't want any of us to suffer. He truly treats us like family. But we can't let him lose out; we still need to sell more goods!"

At this moment, Zhao Dalong and Zhao Haitang looked at each other and nodded, having made their decision in their hearts!
