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

Chen Yu held Tong Ya in his arms, constantly comforting her.

In fact, Chen Yu understood that Tong Ming had his reasons for doing what he did.

But Tong Ya didn't think so, she truly felt sorry for Chen Yu.

"Alright, no more crying! Do you want some late-night snacks? I saw there's a supermarket downstairs, we can buy some stuff and cook ourselves."

It was only then that Tong Ya stopped crying: "Sure, I'll help you!"

Both of them got dressed and went downstairs together.

The supermarket didn't have a lot of items, and Chen Yu picked a few vegetables at random.

Just as he was about to check out, he suddenly saw a young man with a backpack loitering around the shelves.

And this guy had a knife tucked at his waist.

Chen Yu frowned involuntarily and instinctively looked for Tong Ya.

At that moment, Tong Ya happened to move from a nearby shelf to where the young man was.

"Ya Ya!" Chen Yu suddenly called out, "Grab me some buttered bread."

Tong Ya responded and went back to the previous shelf.

The young man looked very nervous, took a deep breath, and then abruptly pulled out the knife and charged towards the counter.

"Everybody get down on the floor, and you, give me the money..."

Before he could finish, Chen Yu suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and after a kick to his leg, threw him over his shoulder.

Only then did the supermarket owner realize what was happening and quickly called several employees to help control the young man.

Chen Yu also breathed a sigh of relief; this wasn't the first time he had encountered such a situation in a supermarket, but compared to last time, he now had the confidence to resolve the trouble.

Tong Ya was also startled, and she quickly realized that when Chen Yu asked her to get the buttered bread, he was actually saving her.

The people in the supermarket were now applauding, and some looked at Chen Yu with admiration.

Chen Yu didn't linger there and quickly took Tong Ya back to the hotel.

As soon as they entered the room, Tong Ya threw herself onto Chen Yu and gave him a fierce kiss.

"Husband, you were so cool just now! Did you already notice something was off with that guy, and that's why you asked me to get the buttered bread?"

Chen Yu pinched Tong Ya's nose: "Alright, come over and peel the tomatoes for me."

By the time Chen Yu had finished cooking, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

[Congratulations Host on completing one day's business, today's net profit is 1,210,600 yuan, you've gained 1,210,600 points, your current total points accumulated are 6,719,580.]

Chen Yu was immediately excited; at this rate, it wouldn't take long to reach 10 million points.

Moreover, the money he had transferred to the current account had accumulated to 9.63 million.

At this moment, Tong Ya helped serve the food.

"Husband, I've noticed that every day at this time, you zone out, is there something on your mind?"

Chen Yu smiled: "I'm just crunching numbers! Once this competition is over and we go back, I can buy the store, and by next week, we might even be able to buy a house."

"Really!" Tong Ya suddenly got excited: "Our life is getting better and better, and sooner or later, you'll definitely surpass my dad, and then he won't dare to bully you anymore."

Chen Yu was momentarily choked up; it seemed that in Tong Ya's heart, Tong Ming was indeed bullying him.

After dinner, Tong Ya cleaned up the disposable cutlery and went to bed with Chen Yu.

The next morning at eight o'clock. stay-updated-with-MVLeMpYr

When Chen Yu arrived at the competition venue, he found that it had undergone substantial changes compared to yesterday.

The temporary kitchens set up yesterday had been replaced with fairly classical honeycomb stoves.

These kitchens were highly efficient, capable of frying, deep-frying, boiling, stir-frying, and stewing, you name it.

Moreover, today the organizers had prepared a fairly complete variety of ingredients for the competing chefs.

Even the number of people who came to watch the competition on-site had doubled since yesterday.

It seemed that yesterday's broadcast had attracted a good deal of traffic.

"Yesterday's competition was just the appetizer, so we didn't eliminate any chefs, but today we will implement an elimination system,"

Su Rui, holding a microphone, shuttled between the chefs while explaining the rules of the competition.

"Today we're testing a chef's speed, as well as their mastery of different types of dishes! Contestants must fry at least six dishes within half an hour, and also prepare the corresponding staple food."

All the chefs present were momentarily stunned, since six dishes in half an hour was reasonable but still a bit strict.

After all, there are many subcategories of chefs.

While many head chefs excel in their craft, they are primarily responsible for the main cooking, requiring side dishes and ingredients to be prepped by others.

Without these support staff, their speed would be greatly reduced.

Just when many chefs were troubled, Su Rui threw out another condition.

"As all the audience members present today are the judges, our chefs must prepare enough servings of dishes for them."

At this, nearly half of the chefs were frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.

The number of people who came to the site today was not small; there were at least a hundred or more.

Having to cook for so many people, and within only half an hour, such a rule was somewhat extreme.

Firstly, cooking for so many people meant they had to cook in large pots.

But to some extent, large pot cooking loses the deliciousness found in individual dishes.

And large pot cooking could never be quick; even with six stoves working simultaneously, it might not be possible within half an hour.

While the other chefs were feeling despondent, Chen Yu had already picked up a kitchen knife and started preparing the ingredients.

Seeing this, the other chefs did not want to be outdone and quickly got busy.

Su Rui looked at the chefs on-site and then raised one hand.

"I declare the competition has begun!"

The scene immediately became bustling, with all the chefs pulling out all the stops.

Among them, it was Chen Yu who was the fastest.

Moreover, his hand coordination was extremely strong; while one hand was cutting vegetables, the other could handle a strainer to blanch the vegetables.

By the tenth minute, Chen Yu had already prepared all the ingredients.

He then spun a large ladle in his hand, and poured the six separate portions of prepared dishes into the pots at once.

"Mapo tofu, potato chicken stew, Mala blood curd, spicy shrimp, bean sprouts with meat, Kung Pao chicken! Although all these are common household dishes, they are also representative of large pot dishes, and this chef's technique is very professional,"

One of the judges, who appeared to be in his sixties, couldn't help but comment.

In front of Chen Yu, the honeycomb stove had eight pot openings.

Six were used for cooking dishes, one was dedicated to cooking rice, and the last one Chen Yu did not waste; he diced carrots, potatoes, and taro, combined them with minced meat to make a soup.
