Chapter 145
After thinking it over for a few brief seconds, Zhang Bei gave up on the legal question.
“Are you doing business here?”
Little Cao was in the middle of negotiating a group-buying price with several tourists. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Bei’s face.
“Boss, you wouldn’t even exploit a child’s hard-earned money, would you?”
Little Cao ducked behind the other kids, his eyes full of vigilance.
“Do I look like that kind of person?”
“You don’t look like it. You just are!”
“Boss, we brought you a gift, so please don’t tell our parents!”
It was just basic social etiquette. How could Little Cao not understand that?
Zhang Bei fell silent for a moment as he looked at the Apple gift box the children handed over.
This thing wasn’t cheap, was it?
It had to be a few hundred yuan, right?
These kids were practically turning into little monsters!
But as he looked at the enticing Apple in the gift box, Zhang Bei ultimately nodded.
“Keep it up. I’ll give you ten percent off lunch!”
“Thank you, Boss!”
Little Cao smiled and went back to greeting customers.
The gift box had naturally been prepared in advance. Even if they hadn’t run into the boss, they would have asked an employee to pass it along.
After all, the Amusement Park would become a major source of income for Boss Little Cao in the future.
During this period, the money he had earned at the amusement park had already allowed Little Cao to expand his business without even realizing it.
He had secured the homework business for an entire elementary school, then outsourced it at a markup to students with good grades.
He had even gotten in touch with top students at a key elementary school and started selling their notes.
Although a portion of the money had to be split off, Little Cao could still bring in a large amount of funds.
What would a child do after getting his hands on that much money?
Buy toys?
Buy skins?
As a child with dreams, Little Cao signed up for an economics tutoring class.
Recently, Little Cao’s offline tutoring class needed to hire an English teacher and had run into a short-term cash shortage.
And so, the plan to restart the Amusement Park business came into being.
“Brother Cao, should I go now?”
Little Cao looked at the little girl being led away by another girl and nodded. “Be careful.”
In less than five minutes, the dozen or so children had all been snatched up by tourists.
Two girls had even started bidding against each other over an adorable little girl.
“Little friend, big sister wants to play too!”
Hearing the voice beside him, Little Cao pulled his gaze back from the parachutes in the sky.
When he turned his head, his heart nearly stopped from fright.
Jiang Hongyu’s hair was disheveled, and her face looked like a vengeful ghost’s.
“Fifteen yuan. I’m the only one with time right now.”
Jiang Hongyu looked at the QR code hanging in front of Little Cao’s chest and paid without hesitation.
“Can we play now?”
Little Cao nodded, set his sign aside, and let Jiang Hongyu pull him toward the Human Cannon.
Soon, the previous batch of tourists had landed, and the staff quickly helped the two of them put on their equipment.
“If you feel like you’re going too fast, you can pull the ring by your hand.”
Jiang Hongyu obediently nodded, hugged Little Cao, and lay down inside the Human Cannon.
With a faint rumble, an enormous force instantly launched the two of them into the sky.
Jiang Hongyu desperately suppressed the scream in her throat.
Feeling the distance beneath her grow higher and higher, she pulled the ring without even thinking.
Little Cao watched as they detached from the device and let out a long sigh.
I knew it!
The parachute opened immediately after. Jiang Hongyu felt their falling speed slow and finally let out a long breath.
Now this was an Amusement Park!
What on earth had those things she played before been?
Were those attractions really meant for living people?
The moment she took in the view from high above, the thrill of skydiving rushed straight through Jiang Hongyu.
So freaking awesome!
But this was still high up in the sky, after all. With adrenaline surging through her, Jiang Hongyu’s legs went completely weak.
Once the parachute touched down, Little Cao deftly undid the gear strapped to him.
Then he started walking on his own two legs toward the children resting off to the side.
Jiang Hongyu stared at Little Cao with her eyes wide.
Was this kid running on cheats?
Hey, hey, hey-what on earth had he been through to be this skilled?
Little Cao paid no mind to the stare behind him and went straight up to the kids.
“It was only a few hundred meters. And you’re already scared?”
A chubby little boy looked like he was about to cry. “Brother Xiao Cao, it was s-so scary!”
“You came here today to make money. If you’re scared already, how are you supposed to earn anything?”
As he spoke, Little Cao looked at the chubby boy in front of him. “Weren’t you going to buy Lili a present? You’re backing down now?”
Seeing the chubby boy fall silent, Little Cao narrowed his eyes.
The knowledge he had learned in training class flashed through his mind.
“If you don’t work hard to make money now, what are you going to do when Lili gets tricked away by someone else’s roses? Regret it then?”
People always said the power of love was great. No one knew where the chubby boy found the strength, but he shot right to his feet.
Little Cao repeated the process. These dozen or so kids were all his classmates, so he had every one of their likes and weaknesses completely figured out.
Watching the group of kids regain their spirit, the next round of business opened in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Hongyu sat off to the side, completely dazed.
Which business tycoon had trained this kid?
This was way too ridiculous.
Even she was getting fired up by his success-coach spiel!
The morning’s business passed amid the joyful sound of Little Cao counting money.
A chef pushed a cart into the center of the amusement park.
“Time to eat! Pick whatever you want!”
Drooling, Little Cao glanced at the Human Head Hotpot, then silently looked away.
“Boxed lunches. Seventeen portions. The money’s been transferred!”
The chef moved with lightning speed, taking out seventeen boxed lunches and handing them to the children one by one.
Meanwhile, Xu Kuan led a group of women who looked like Sadako into the Staff Cafeteria.
“Sorry to bother you again, boss!”
Zhang Bei waved a hand. “All right, hurry up and eat!”
This was hardly Xu Kuan’s first or second time here, so he had long since made himself at home.
He plopped down beside Li Yang. “Save me one later!”
“No problem, no problem!”
Li Yang narrowed his eyes as he watched Chef Li bustling around.
At the shout of “meal’s ready,” a pushcart appeared in front of everyone.
“The special dishes are here. Take them if you want them!”
Li Yang rubbed his hands together, rushed over in one stride, and lifted the lid.
What greeted his eyes was a hideous human head.
Holding the human head in one hand and a plate of Braised Human Hand in the other, he returned to his seat.
“Eat up, eat up. These hands taste best while they’re hot!”
As soon as he said that, Xu Kuan skillfully picked up a hand with his chopsticks and placed it on his plate.
The two men, immersed in their feast, didn’t notice the strange atmosphere at all.
A group of nurses stood silently off to the side.
Several young nurses who had only recently graduated had eyes full of terror.
Where had those human heads and hands come from?
Tourists who had fainted and not woken up?
Why had the genre suddenly changed?
You Bai rubbed their aching shoulders and walked in from outside.
Seeing an entire Cafeteria full of girls, they froze on the spot.
What was going on?
Had the boss’s ex-girlfriends, the ones he’d loved and dumped, come knocking?
No, that couldn’t be right. How could their black-hearted boss possibly get a girlfriend?
