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

Early the next morning, Chen Yu and Tong Ya drove together to the competition site.

The competition was set in the wilderness and seemed to be a temporary setup, and there were also many traces of reality show filming.

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown, thinking the competition might be grand, but it turned out to be quite ordinary.

"Welcome chefs from every kitchen, this competition is very special, we require you to gather ingredients on site to create a sumptuous feast."

When the host's voice rang out, Chen Yu's eyes immediately widened.

The person standing there as the host turned out to be Su Rui.

While he was still surprised, Su Rui on the stage winked at Chen Yu and Tong Ya.

"Accompanying family members, we hope you can stay at the camp to let the chefs perform independently."

That statement was clearly directed at Tong Ya.

By now, Chen Yu had figured it all out.

Perhaps the invitation wasn't sent by a competitor at all, but by Tong Ming.

Now, as Su Rui was signing endorsement contracts with Tong Ming, it was impossible for her to take on projects from other investors.

So, it was highly likely that the competition was organized by a company under Tong Ming's banner.

After analyzing the situation in his mind, Chen Yu quietly shared this conclusion with Tong Ya.

"I knew it all along! Who else but my old man would host something in such a boring place?"

Tong Ya pouted and at the same time, looked at Su Rui on the podium with a resentful gaze.

As Su Rui announced the start of the competition, chefs who had come to participate got up one after another, heading into the forest.

Chen Yu affectionately kissed Tong Ya on the cheek.

"Wait for me to come back, okay?"

The forest seemed to be meticulously selected by the organizers. hosted-on-MVLeMpYr

Not only were there many mountain delicacies on the hills, but there was also a large number of poultry and livestock released to roam there.

What surprised Chen Yu the most was that this place was actually next to the sea.

And on the cliff facing the sea, goose barnacles flourished.

That was an exceptionally perfect ingredient!

Chen Yu didn't second-guess himself and immediately climbed down the cliff.

His movements were incredibly agile, leaving the few chefs that had come with him in awe.

…

At that moment in the competition site, some chefs had randomly gathered some ingredients and hurried back.

In reality, for many, this competition had no real significance.

Their shops were barely making ends meet in the first place.

They came here primarily to get on camera, in hopes of driving some traffic to their own places.

Tong Ya sat in the audience with a worried expression on her face.

No matter if this place was pre-designed by the organizers, it was still in the wilderness.

There would always be some unknown dangers.

"Yo, our little beauty is worried about her man, huh?" Su Rui suddenly appeared behind Tong Ya.

Tong Ya humphed softly, "Go away, you capitalist stooge! Why didn't you tell me the details of the competition beforehand?"

Su Rui quickly raised her hands in defense, "I swear, I didn't know anything about this place beforehand, your dad just called me to come over and host."

Tong Ya pouted, "I think you just couldn't resist the lucrative pay."

Su Rui smiled awkwardly, "I had no choice, you know my situation! Besides, your dad offered so much, I couldn't refuse."

While the two were talking, Chen Yu had already come running back with a big basket in his arms.

Although the organizers didn't provide the ingredients, they did have a full range of condiments available.

Chen Yu quickly processed the barnacles he had picked and prepared the sauce before presenting it directly to the judges.

The judges on site were instantly baffled.

They knew there were gooseneck barnacles here, but the environment where these barnacles grew was far too harsh.

Gathering them required the cooperation of at least five people.

Yet it looked as though Chen Yu had gathered the barnacles all by himself.

The other chefs looked at Chen Yu with eyes full of admiration.

They all knew how harsh the environment for harvesting gooseneck barnacles was.

"Delicious!" a judge suddenly shouted, "This sauce is a perfect match for the barnacles, it's so tasty."

Chen Yu seemed indifferent to such praise.

He simply returned to his makeshift kitchen, bringing out a large bowl.

He then took a big bowl of the prepared sauce and sat next to Tong Ya in the audience.

"Want to try some?"

Tong Ya didn't expect Chen Yu to have prepared a portion especially for her.

She was stunned.

Chen Yu didn't care about that, picking up a barnacle with chopsticks, dipping it in some sauce, and placing it into Tong Ya's mouth.

The sight filled those nearby with envy.

The barnacles Chen Yu had prepared for Tong Ya were much more delicate and careful than those for the judges.

The most important part was, there was a bigger portion!

Su Rui, sitting nearby, also looked on with envy.

However, as she was currently the host, she couldn't get too close to the contestants.

Suppressing the urge to eat, she returned to the host's stand somewhat disgruntled.

"Our chefs have been presenting their dishes one after another. However, Chen Yu from Yuya Bansheng Park seems to have a decisive advantage."

On stage, Su Rui was praising Chen Yu to the hilt, secretly hoping he'd let her taste the barnacles after the competition was over.

By five in the afternoon, the first day of competition ended, and all the contestants and their families were arranged to stay at a nearby hotel.

Actually, Chen Yu felt the competition was a bit off-track.

A fine cooking contest turned out to feel like wilderness survival.

What's more, chefs were accompanied by a dedicated cameraman when they were searching for ingredients in the mountains.

This made Chen Yu feel as if he was participating in a reality show.

After taking a shower, Chen Yu lay on the bed wrapped in a bath towel and placed an order for the next day's braised ingredients.

Tong Ya was furiously making a phone call to Tong Ming.

"You've done enough, letting Chen Yu join this kind of competition! How is this a culinary contest? It's just nonsense!"

On the other end of the phone, Tong Ming was just as unyielding, "Little girl, what do you know? I'm creating precious video records for Chen Yu, which will all be part of his resume in the future."

"Resume my foot, you dare say it's not for the ratings?"

Tong Ya argued for a bit and then hung up the phone in indignation.

Chen Yu didn't speak; after placing the order for the ingredients, he just lay there, staring straight at Tong Ya.

It seemed like this was the first time someone had been so angry for him.

When Tong Ya turned her head and saw Chen Yu's gaze, she suddenly felt aggrieved and flung herself into his arms.

"Let's not compete anymore, I feel like he is just bullying you."

Chen Yu stroked Tong Ya's hair, "It's okay, I don't mind, the shop can run normally without me now."
