After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

The image that appeared on the computer screen unsettled even Chen Yu.

However, upon further thought, he realized that the Zhao Family could only resurge by resorting to such extreme measures.

Chen Yu suddenly felt a chill down his spine, originally thinking that by stripping all the capital from the Zhao Family, he could completely cripple them.

Now it seemed, there were still unforeseen dangers left!

"Don't worry, I won't let such a person live in this world."

Chen Yu stowed away the memory stick and then took out a promissory note with a face value of ten million.

"Mr. Li, you did a great job; this is your reward for this time!"

Li Mao shook his head, "You gave me ten million last time, including the job this time! Besides, that money is already enough for me to live on for a lifetime..."

"This is for your next mission!" Chen Yu got up and directly stuffed the promissory note into Li Mao's chest, "Next time, I might use the information you provide to save tens of millions of people!"

Li Mao's eyes suddenly lit up, reflecting a mix of complex emotions.

Ever since he entered this line of work, he had been determined to use the information he gathered to benefit the masses.

This was also the reason why he had been reluctant to trade the information he held for money.

Chen Yu's words undoubtedly touched his heart.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, whenever you need me next time, just give me a call."

Li Mao accepted the promissory note and disappeared into a nearby alley.

It was noon, the peak time for lunch, and the street quickly became bustling with traffic.

Despite the high prices at Xiangyun Restaurant, there was a nonstop flow of people reserving tables to dine every day.

It was nearly always packed, which also boosted the surrounding industries.

Chen Yu sat there, chin propped on his hand, watching the passersby and observing the economic logic between the various industries.

Before long, Tong Ya came over pushing a small cart carefully.

"Husband, I've prepared everything you asked for. Are we really going to be okay doing this?"

Chen Yu stretched lazily, moved to the back of the cart to change into a chef's outfit, and then turned on all the devices on top.

A pot of hot oil quickly boiled, releasing a very peculiar fragrance.

This pot of oil used over a hundred different spices and herbs, claiming it could cure a hundred ailments was not an overstatement.

Chen Yu swiftly shook his hands over a counter beside him, and soon had made a dozen shrimp cakes, which he then placed into the frying oil.

From the moment the small cart was pushed out, people began to gather around it in dribs and drabs.

The area was already crowded with foot traffic, and given it was mealtime, even without the unusual fragrance, curious onlookers would have gathered.

"Boss, what are you selling? Why does it smell so good?"

An elderly man dressed simply, fanning himself, couldn't help but draw near.

"It's just ordinary shrimp cakes. Would you like to try one, sir?"

Chen Yu casually picked up a small dish, served a shrimp cake, and handed it to the old man.

The man eagerly took a bite and put it in his mouth.

"Oh my, these shrimp cakes really are uniquely soft and savory, they just melt in your mouth after a couple of chews."

Seeing this, other people were also curious to try the shrimp cakes.

Chen Yu immediately put up a sign—five yuan for one shrimp cake!

Although the shrimp cakes weren't large, selling for five yuan each was indeed a bit pricey.

However, the unique aroma they emitted made people's mouths water.

Especially the elderly man who had just had one insisted on taking out a hundred yuan to buy twenty.

At first, people thought the old man was just fussing and wouldn't buy, but unable to resist the fragrance, they decided to buy one to try for themselves.

The situation quickly became uncontrollable, with a long queue forming in front of the small stand.

Even customers from the surrounding shops were drawn over.

"Damn, this is so unique, it's even better than the signature dishes Xiangyun Restaurant introduced."

"How come this couple selling shrimp cakes look so familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere before!"

"That woman seems to be the eldest daughter of the Tong Family!"

…

As the discussions among the crowd grew, more and more people gathered, some not just to eat shrimp cakes but also to gossip about Tong Ya.

Recently, Tong Ya had let slip that she had a child for Chen Yu when she was eighteen.

How could such gossip not be exciting?

In no time, the stand was surrounded, impenetrable, with everyone chattering about all sorts of messy questions.

But Tong Ya didn't seem to mind at all and just gently helped Chen Yu on the side.

The situation soon attracted the attention of Xiangyun Restaurant.

The lobby manager hurried over with several people, and after understanding the situation, they chickened out.

The Tong Family was not someone Xiangyun Restaurant could afford to mess with, especially now that the Tong Family had become even stronger after carving up the Zhao Family.

With just a flick of their fingers, they could doom Xiangyun Restaurant.

The lobby manager immediately frowned.

"Quickly go find the boss. These two are not someone we can afford to provoke."

Before long, a richly dressed, corpulent man waddled over to the side of the stand.

Seeing the throngs of people in front of the small stand, the man couldn't help but sigh before elbowing his way into the crowd.

"Oh, Miss Tong, what are you doing here?"

Tong Ya just glanced up before continuing with her work.

"Mr. Huang, there's no need to beat around the bush, just speak your mind."

Huang Ban Cheng twirled the string of beads in his hand quickly.

"Miss Tong, how about this? Why don't you just push your cart into my restaurant and sell the shrimp cakes there? What do you think?"

You have to admit, Huang Ban Cheng did have some brains.

At this rate, it wouldn't take long for Xiangyun Restaurant's popularity to be completely snatched away by this tiny stand.

But if they could invite Tong Ya and Chen Yu into the restaurant, then the popularity would still belong to Xiangyun Restaurant's.

For a brand that's been around for hundreds of years, what they want isn't just profit, but reputation.

"That would depend on what my husband thinks!"

The moment she said that, the love-struck girls in the crowd cheered.

Not only did they deal with the Zhao Family recently, but they also crafted a pure love persona for Tong Ya.

Such a persona could attract countless fans wherever it goes.

Huang Ban Cheng was somewhat dazed before he hurriedly leaned in toward Chen Yu with an almost obsequious attitude.

"Mr. Chen, about my offer just now, I hope you'll consider it!"

Chen Yu didn't stop his hands, "The several shops behind me have already been taken over by me, and we'll be moving in within a few days! No need for Mr. Huang to trouble himself."

To ordinary people, these words seemed harmless, but to Huang Ban Cheng, they were a naked provocation.

Selling delicious food near Xiangyun Restaurant and even taking over the shops, this was clearly a challenge to Xiangyun Restaurant.

Or rather, it was the Tong Family preparing to make a move on the Huang Family!
