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

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Is She Your Girlfriend?



```

With Wang Qingshan's help, the work sped up significantly.

And although Wang Qingshan looked as rotund as a small hill, he was all muscle.

A bag of flour weighed a hundred pounds, and Chen Yu usually found carrying one bag somewhat strenuous, but Wang Qingshan could effortlessly shoulder three at a time.

This scene genuinely left Chen Yu a bit dumbfounded.

The day was no different from any other, the only change being that Wang Qingshan's arrival had given Chen Yu quite a bit of leisure time.

He could even have a decent conversation with the neighbors who visited the place.

In the past, Chen Yu would have been too busy to do more than offer a symbolic response to the neighbors' chatter.

At half past eleven in the morning, Tong Ming sent someone to pick up a thousand pounds of marinated meat.

They also paid an advance and said they would take another thousand pounds in the afternoon, asking Chen Yu to keep it aside for them.

It seemed that Tong Ming's company in Suzhou City was well established, and they had quite a few employees.

At half past four in the afternoon, Tong Ya came back to the store with Tuan Tuan.

Oddly, Tong Ya was wearing a hat and a mask, and also had sunglasses covering her face.

When she first walked in, even Chen Yu almost failed to recognize her.

"What happened to you? Why are you all disguised like this?" Chen Yu asked, somewhat worried that Tong Ya might be allergic to something.

Tong Ya still cautiously looked around the shop before she took off her mask and sunglasses.

"It's nothing, just that the sunlight outside is too glaring."

Right in the midst of their conversation, a small pickup truck and two vans suddenly stopped at the entrance.

These were Tong Ming's company vehicles, here to collect the marinated meat.

Chen Yu did not dare to neglect his duties and quickly instructed the kitchen staff to get ready.

He had barely called out when Tong Ming, supported by two bodyguards, hurried into the shop.

When he saw Tong Ya standing with Chen Yu and Tuan Tuan, he looked utterly stupefied.

Tong Ya also opened her mouth wide, instinctively wanting to go upstairs.

Tong Ming immediately made a gesture akin to an eagle catching a chick, blocking her way.

"Why are you here?"

Chen Yu frowned, sensing that Tong Ming's gaze toward Tong Ya was somewhat unusual.

Almost instinctively, Chen Yu pulled Tong Ya into his arms.

"Old Master Tong, do you know my girlfriend?"

Tong Ming's eyes widened in shock: "She's your girlfriend?"

Chen Yu nodded, looking at Tong Ming with a hint of confusion.

He wondered if the old man was seriously ill; why such a big reaction to learning Tong Ya was his girlfriend?

The next moment, Tong Ming suddenly shouted, "Heaven has eyes!"

He had been puzzled as to why Tang Xiaowei specifically instructed him to be at the shop personally between four-thirty and five in the afternoon.

Now he understood, his daughter had already become someone else's stepmother.

Of course, she had to take up the responsibility of the child's school runs.

It was the peak of the off-work rush, and the shop was filled with customers. Hearing Tong Ming's sudden outburst, they all turned to look, puzzled.

Wang Qingshan, seeing this commotion from the kitchen, immediately grabbed a kitchen cleaver and rushed out.

"Master, is someone causing trouble?"

Chen Yu coughed twice, signaling Wang Qingshan to return to the kitchen first.

Even he wasn't clear about what exactly had happened.

Tong Ya's chest heaved violently a few times before she looked at Chen Yu like a child who had made a mistake.

"I'm sorry, I never told you, but he is actually my father."

Chen Yu's pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked at Tong Ming with a mix of astonishment in his eyes.

```

Tong Ming's emotions at this moment were truly exhilarating.

The man he had taken a liking to had actually become his son-in-law so easily.

"Young man, my daughter can be a bit headstrong, if she has caused you any trouble, don't take it to heart,"

"I still have things to handle at my company, so I won't stay here any longer."

He had merely followed Tang Xiaowei's hint to come and take a look.

Now that he had his answer, there was no need to continue his stay here.

Before Chen Yu could even react, Tong Ming had already hurried off with his people and the braised dishes.

It was only at this moment that Chen Yu completely understood.

No wonder Tong Ya had been so elusive each time Tong Ming visited.

Chen Yu smiled briefly and then rubbed Tong Ya's head.

"What's with you acting so strangely lately? It turns out it was your father coming over."

Tong Ya nodded repeatedly, "Actually, he was purely attracted by the braised dishes you made! I swear, I didn't ask him to come over to look after your business, nor did I..."

"Alright," Chen Yu lightly flicked Tong Ya's nose, "I understand, go take Tuan Tuan back to the room first."

Joy was written all over Tong Ya's face, it seemed her previous worries were superfluous.

But she found it a bit curious, the timing of Tong Ming's visit this afternoon was too coincidental, wasn't it?

By seven in the evening, the braised dishes had already sold out.

The stream of customers gradually dwindled.

Chen Yu then called everyone to start cleaning up.

With Wang Qingshan joining, everything became fast and systematic.

After all, managing a store independently for over ten years had given him a wealth of experience.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business, today's net profit is 296,200 yuan, earning 296,200 points, with a current total of 1,716,680 points.]

Unbeknownst to Chen Yu, the points were close to reaching two million, and he was feeling more expectant about the future.

After ordering four thousand kilograms of pork, Chen Yu then deposited a neat sum of 300,000 yuan into his savings account.

Leaving 600 yuan in his pocket for emergencies.

In fact, the emergency funds he had set aside during this period seemed to be of little use.

By early morning, around five or six o'clock, the day's earnings would already reach over ten thousand yuan.

Now, the savings account held a sum of 1.89 million yuan.

Although it was not enough to buy the whole block of shops, it was more than sufficient to open a branch.

Moreover, with the considerable help of Wang Qingshan, planning to open a branch should definitely be pushed forward soon.

Additionally, the items related to the braised dishes that were in his mind, he had only introduced pig's head and pork knuckles so far.

After the delivered pork was stocked, Wang Qingshan went off to the neighborhood behind with the six girls, chatting and laughing.

Having worked hard here for ten years, he had long bought a house in the community.

He was, after all, able to walk part of the way with the girls.

Just as Chen Yu was about to close the shop, a horn suddenly sounded from not far away.

Tong Ming drove up in a modest sports car, parking right at the storefront.

He didn't wait for Chen Yu to invite him in, directly taking two bottles of alcohol into the shop from his car.

"Lad, can you join me for a drink?"

Chen Yu didn't say much, just pulled out a table and placed two stools down.

Tong Ming sat down without any pretense, producing two cups.

"This is a wine I've cellared for twenty-two years, buried on the day Xiaowei was born! It was flown in especially three hours ago,"

As he spoke, Tong Ming opened the seal on the wine jar and poured two bowls.

Chen Yu was greatly spirited, lifting a bowl and downing it with throats gurgling.
