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

7:00 pm.

The usually bustling sports square had suddenly become deserted, with a group of square-dancing seniors leading everyone to gather in front of Chen Yu's food cart.

"Oh my, this is so delicious! How the heck is this made?"

"No wonder these old men and women have stopped square dancing!"

"Owner, give me another 30 with black sesame filling!"

"Over here, 60 more! 30 with sweet potato and 30 with purple potato!"

...

The crowd was eating and taking away food so quickly that the system's provided ingredients had already diminished by half.

Fortunately, Chen Yu was by now familiar with all the processes, and his proficiency with frying cakes was remarkable, which also quickened his pace considerably.

However, the swarm of people had indeed caught him somewhat off guard.

Thankfully, Tuan Tuan had brought over some tables and chairs, and sat outside the food cart to keep track of orders and collect money, easing some of the load off Chen Yu.

"Hurry up and give us 100, we're going to a net café to stay overnight!"

Five teenagers had followed the crowd over, but these five were scruffy, clearly the types who hung around net cafes all year round.

"Five brothers, please wait a moment; we've really got too many people today! You can pay first and register your flavors with me."

The term 'brothers' softly spoken by Tuan Tuan gave the five a somewhat fluttery feeling.

People like them, addicted to games and frequenting net cafes, were often looked down upon.

But now, such a cute little girl was standing in front of them calling them 'brothers', which rapidly lifted their self-esteem.

"No worries, we'll wait!"

...

The first old lady who had bought a fried cake had already returned home.

However, her little grandson was now lying on the floor, throwing a tantrum, refusing to eat his meal, and had even strewn rice and soup all over the floor.

Her son and daughter-in-law were at their wit's end with the little boy.

The grandmother hurried over to soothe him, but the aroma of the fried cake in her hand instantly stopped the young boy's cries.

"Granny, what is this?"

The grandmother eagerly pushed the fried cake towards her grandson, "Something good, try it quickly!"

The scent was already mouthwatering, and the little boy hurriedly grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Under the astonished gazes of his family, the boy proceed to polish off 20 fried cakes.

"Granny, I want more!"

"Alright, alright, Granny will take you there now, maybe they haven't closed up shop yet."

Both the son and the daughter-in-law swallowed hard involuntarily, the scent they had smelled before was truly astounding.

...

The five teenagers heading to the net café with their fried cakes had just stepped inside when they attracted a large group of kids at the computers.

"Dude, what's that and where did you get it? It smells amazing!"

"If you have a bite of this, it'll keep you alert and awake all night! You might even snag the top spot in the game."

...

It wasn't long before Chen Yu's fried cakes caused quite a stir in the neighborhood.

Those who had bought fried cakes earlier came back with friends and family, making Chen Yu's food cart even livelier.

By 9:00 pm, the crowd waiting at the food cart had finally started to thin out.

"Ah, owner, this is truly tempting! We've been working all day and couldn't find much to eat. Give us a few fried cakes."

"Oh, this little girl is so cute, she must be your daughter, right?"

Chen Yu served the fried cakes on several plates and set them on the table.

"Yeah, daughter!"

"Wow, the boss is handsome and makes such delicious fried cakes, and having a daughter who listens and understands so well, truly a role model for us all."

"Not like us, working like dogs every day and still can't find a wife."

"Hmph, with dowries in the hundreds of thousands, plus they want a car and a house, only a fool would get married."

"Exactly, long live being single!"

...

Chen Yu suddenly had several black lines running down his forehead.

"I got divorced!"

The moment they heard this, they all showed a bit of sympathy.

"No worries, bro, with your good looks and a skillful hand, you won't have any trouble finding a wife."

"Hey, brother, is there a secret recipe to your fried cakes? They're so fragrant!"

"And they're not greasy at all, there must be a secret recipe!"

Chen Yu waved his hand: "I just use slightly better ingredients, that's all!"

"I can't take it anymore, give me another 20 with black sesame!"

"Oh my God, this is so delicious, it's my first time getting addicted to something as greasy as fried cakes! Give me a 100 more!"

Chen Yu shrugged: "I reckon you'll have to wait about ten minutes!"

"Hey, we don't mind waiting ten minutes, or even ten hours!"

With a smile on his face, Chen Yu began to deftly make the fried cakes.

It didn't take long for him to turn all the remaining ingredients into finished products and toss them into the fryer in batches.

When Tuan Tuan brought over the office workers' fried cakes batch by batch, she stood by their side obediently.

"Uncles, since this is greasy food after all, it would be best to eat a little less, for the sake of your health."

Her adorable voice instantly melted the hearts of these rough men.

"Don't worry, our stomachs are strong and we digest well, no matter how much we eat, it's fine!"

"Right, with food this delicious, even if it kills me with its richness, I'd die satisfied!"

"That's right, don't just worry about us eating, hurry and call the rest of the people from the company over; many of them haven't had a proper meal for days!"

Before long, a large group of people in uniforms were summoned by these office workers.

While they grumbled about work, they also praised Chen Yu's sweet cakes, showing a dichotomy in their behavior.

And these folks had huge appetites, soon finishing off all the remaining sweet cakes at a rapid pace.

Even so, there were a few who, still not satisfied, stood in front of the food cart, gazing eagerly at Chen Yu.

"I'm sorry, but today's sweet cakes are all sold out. If you want more, you'd better come early tomorrow!"

A group of people, a bit dejected, patted their stomachs and dispersed reluctantly.

[Congratulations to the host, today's net profit is 6235 yuan, reward points 6235!]

The system's notification tone gave Chen Yu a little thrill.

He hadn't expected this make-do business to earn such a high profit.

This morning, he was a man forced into divorce and stripped of wealth, unsure of where his next meal would come from.

Yet by evening, he had his own little enterprise!

Today's net profit was higher than what an ordinary person makes in a month.

But Chen Yu remained quite calm. After all, the raw materials he used today were provided by the system, without any investment on his part.

Starting from tomorrow, he would have to factor in the cost of raw materials! And he also had to figure out where to source them from.

"Daddy! I helped you out a lot today, shouldn't you pay me a salary? I'm still hungry. I've only eaten two pieces of sweet cake from the afternoon till now!"
