Chapter 56: This Inn Will Always Be Reserved for You (2/2)

“Oh…” Lin Zhensheng pondered for a moment, then asked, “How much profit did your Cat Café make in a month?”

Shen Cheng calculated in his mind and raised a few fingers to Lin Zhensheng: “As of now, the net profit is this much because I don’t need to pay wages to most of the staff. The only one who needs to be paid is a pastry chef.”

“No need to pay wages…” Upon hearing this, Lin Zhensheng’s lips twitched slightly. “By the way, you have three spirits… cough, cats… Demi-Humans? Is that what they are called? You have three cat Demi-Humans working as waitresses at your café, hasn’t anyone noticed anything strange?”

Although Lin Zhensheng always had a book in his hands at the front desk, he was actually quite modern for an older man and adapted quickly to new things.

“There probably were some, but it doesn’t matter. It’s my mission to help Demi-Humans integrate into society.” After all, if Lin Zhensheng could immediately tell that these cat girls weren’t ordinary, then surely other customers also noticed that Cheese and the others weren’t human. However, everyone chose to remain silent.

The fact that they could do this showed that those customers clearly understood that these creatures posed no harm to society and tacitly accepted their presence.

In this sense, Shen Cheng had fulfilled the mission given to him by the Bio-Scientific Institute perfectly.

“Little Cheng, have you ever thought about opening a branch of your Cat Café?” Suddenly, Lin Zhensheng asked this question, which made Shen Cheng pause.

If the Cat Café continued to thrive, opening a branch was inevitable. However, when it came to Demi-Humans, having just one Light Spot Cat Café in Lingshi City was hardly influential.

Shen Cheng didn’t voice his thoughts, remaining silent instead, as he had a vague understanding of what Lin Zhensheng was implying.

“This inn can no longer sustain itself.” Stroking the edge of the hot spring, Lin Zhensheng’s eyes revealed a trace of nostalgia. “I’ve been working hard for this inn since I was young, watching it grow from a small shop into what it is today. I saw Huihui’s father grow up here, and then Huihui as well…

I can no longer bear to watch it decline like this. If… it could continue to operate in another way, then I… would have no regrets!”

Shen Cheng: “…”

In the end, Shen Cheng politely declined Lin Zhensheng’s request to take over the inn, using the excuse that the Cat Café was still in its early stages and he lacked the energy.

Lin Zhensheng wasn’t surprised. He merely said softly, “This inn will always be reserved for you,” before getting up and leaving the men’s bath.

That night, after dinner, Shen Cheng lay on his bed in his private room, browsing his phone.

He opened the official account of the Light Spot Cat Café and saw a group of people in the comments section, complaining about the café’s temporary closure. Of course, many were also eagerly anticipating what changes would come after the café’s expansion.

At the same time, Shen Cheng’s private messages were flooded with collaboration requests from pet food companies.

Nana: [Picture]

Nana sent a message. Shen Cheng blinked and clicked on it.

The phone screen switched to Nana’s chat interface, showing a picture of her with Ximing and Lingxue.

In the photo, Nana was smiling happily, her arms around the other two Demi-Humans. Ximing, as usual, had a lazy expression, while Lingxue, standing on a stool, showed a bittersweet, helpless smile.

The day after Shen Cheng left the Bio-Scientific Institute, Nana had already escaped her lonely state and made friends.

Thinking of how pitiful Nana had been, always trailing behind him, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but smile.

He forwarded the picture to Mo Xinya, yawned, and turned over to sleep lightly.
