The Good Dad System (Arc 8) Chapter 61.1: After the Daughter Married Into a Wealthy Family (7)

The headquarters of Tiansheng Group is located in the new CBD of City B. The surrounding business is prosperous and there are many large and well-known companies working here. Therefore, the shops around here have also become more and more valuable. Although the flow of people is huge and most of the people in the office building are employees of large companies who are not short of money and can be regarded as high-quality customers, due to the high rental costs, some shops cannot withstand the pressure and choose to leave almost every year or so.

Just look at this, the Guang Mang Coffee that just opened with great fanfare some time ago, with all the activities and new products, went bankrupt within half a year. Just two days after the store was posted for rent, a new “sucker” came in – the term “sucker” is not sarcastic, the reason is very simple, this store has gone through several stores, and almost none of them could survive more than a year. Even if they were specially renovated and invested a lot of money, in the end they were hastily closed and the building was deserted. After a long time, even the employees in the CBD knew that this was a store with a “money-losing” buff.

“Daijun, did you see that?” Pei Naochun stood in front of the counter, holding up his phone, and patted the table excitedly. This set was left by Guangmang Coffee. The other party did not take the booth decorations inside, so he packed it all and gave it to him for 20,000 yuan. “Your dad’s new shop.”

“I saw it.” Pei Daijun held her forehead and smiled helplessly, “Dad, you really did it?”

“That’s right, who am I, your father? I do what I say, and I act with swiftness and resolution!”

Pei Daijun was worried, but she didn’t show it on her face: “Okay, Dad, you can do it, but what kind of food are you going to sell?” She remembered the food her father cooked when she was a child. It was indeed delicious – but it was only at the level of an ordinary small restaurant. It was cooked in a big pot with a big fire, and the ingredients were sufficient and fresh. How could it be bad? But if you really compare it to a gourmet restaurant, it’s far from it.

“Well… It’s secret for now.” Pei Naochun pretended to be mysterious and made a hushing gesture, “When dad’s business is good, I’ll invite you to dinner!”

“It doesn’t matter if the business is good. I’ll come anytime.”

“Also, when my shop is established, I will send soup to my son-in-law!” He noticed that his daughter looked a little uncomfortable for a moment and glared at her. “Of course, Dad will definitely ask you to give it a try. If you think my cooking is not good enough, I won’t send it to you!”

He lowered his voice, as if he was unhappy: “It’s all because of you. I worry about Junhao getting tired and thin every day.”

“Dad, I know you’re doing this for my own good.” Pei Daijun was busy coaxing her father who was getting older. “I don’t mind. How could I mind? I’ll go over and tell you what kind of soup Junhao likes to drink.”

“I’ve already told you, I’m not hanging around out there for nothing. I’ve eaten at more Michelin and internet-famous restaurants than you have, and I’ve learned a lot of great cooking skills!” Pei Naochun raised his eyebrows and glanced at his daughter, “You don’t think I’ve been out there playing alone for so many years, do you?”

…She really thought so. Pei Daijun was a little embarrassed: “Okay, then I’ll go and see Dad show his skills and become a new star food restaurant in CBD.” Yes, Dad has been away for so many years. As the ancients said, when a scholar has been away for three days, he will be looked at with new eyes. She is not like when she was a child, living with her parents every day. How could she have known that her father would suddenly be willing to devote himself to the study of food?

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly ached. Yes, she had changed a lot after her mother left, let alone her father?

“Daijun, are you not feeling well yet?” Sheng Junhao had changed into his going-out clothes and was buttoning his shirt. People say that men are in their prime at 31, and this is really not an exaggeration for him. He has maintained a good figure, has no belly, has been in a high position for many years, has a successful career, and has a good temperament. Today is the weekend, and it’s rare for him to be at home, so he plans to accompany Mother Sheng to the hospital with his wife.

“Go ahead, Daijun, go and get busy. Dad has something to do here.” When Pei Naochun heard the familiar voice, he didn’t delay. He waved his hand and hung up the phone.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Pei Daijun always gets up early. Although she doesn’t go to work, as long as her husband is at home, she will definitely have breakfast with him. After all, the couple are rarely together, and she cherishes every opportunity to be together.

“Let’s go when we’re ready.” Sheng Junhao glanced at the time. In fact, it wasn’t too late, but he was used to having everything done on his own time. As long as he was ready, everyone around him had to prepare everything.

“Wait.” Pei Daijun put her hands on Sheng Junhao’s hands, she tiptoed slightly, and carefully adjusted the position of his tie, “It’s a bit tight.” After adjusting it, she nodded with satisfaction.

“…Hmm.” Sheng Junhao walked out. When his wife approached him, he could smell a familiar scent on her – it was a light, non-pungent and refreshing orange scent, with a hint of grassy aftertaste. When they were together, this was the first bottle of perfume he gave to his wife. He said at the time that he felt this scent suited her, and she has been using it until now and has never changed.

But she could never understand one thing. Sheng Junhao put his hands in his pockets. She lived in the past, but he had already walked into the future. The once refreshing fragrance now smelled vulgar and even annoying. The fresh and beautiful face that should have been seen when looking down had lost some collagen and no longer looked young. Who can always remain unchanged? Anyway, he can’t.

Pei Daijun, holding her handbag, trotted after her husband and held his hand as usual. She looked at the road and didn’t notice the strange expression on his face. “My dad called me just now…”

“What’s wrong with my father-in-law?” he asked casually. Both his wife and father-in-law were easy to deceive. They could be coaxed into doing what they wanted with some money and some nice words.

“He came back and insisted on opening a restaurant again.” Pei Daijun finally showed a worried expression in front of her husband. “When my mother left, she told him privately that she hoped he would be more motivated and expand the small restaurant. My father has always been worried about it. He said that he had learned a lot during his years of traveling abroad and could now run a restaurant. I couldn’t persuade him, so I had to agree.”
