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

Tong Ya had just returned to the food truck when she saw Chen Yu continuously tapping on his phone.

"Is your phone broken?"

Chen Yu, feeling helpless, replied, "It's been roasted by the frying pan. I need to get it fixed, or else I can't contact the supplier for tomorrow's raw materials."

"Let me go fix it for you!"

Tong Ya didn't bother with formalities and quickly grabbed Chen Yu's phone before leaving the food truck.

Within fifteen minutes, Tong Ya returned, bounding back with a box in hand, glee evident in her steps.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally dropped your phone on the way, and it's completely beyond repair now. Consider this my compensation to you."

Chen Yu's mouth fell open slightly, his face full of surprise.

In Tong Ya's hands was the latest model 5G smartphone, costing over ten thousand yuan each.

"Teacher Tong Ya, I really can't accept this! I'm standing by the frying pan all day; even the best phone will end up getting roasted."

"No, it won't. I specifically bought a vacuum metal case for you!"

Chen Yu was momentarily at a loss. He indeed needed a phone, especially one that could withstand high temperatures.

Now, Tong Ya had fulfilled both these requirements for him.

Chen Yu reluctantly accepted the phone, "Then I'll transfer the money to you."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Tong Ya's eyes.

"Dad! You're really letting down Teacher Tong Ya's kind intentions!"

Chen Yu frowned, "You child, how have I taught you? You can't always think about taking advantage of others."

Hearing this, Tong Ya quickly straightened up.

"Chen Yu, consider this smartphone a gift for the opening of your food truck! If you feel like you're taking advantage of me, you can give me a gift for my birthday next month!"

Chen Yu looked up slightly, seeming to agree that transferring money might not be the right move now.

Moreover, by next month, he should have a decent amount of savings, just in time to arrange a nice birthday party for Tong Ya.

It would also serve as a thank-you for all the care she had provided during this time.

"Okay, next month it is!"

Seeing Chen Yu's agreement, Tong Ya heaved a sigh of relief.

As they spoke, the elders and aunties who danced in the square began arriving one after another.

They kept a regular schedule regardless of the weekend, showing up on time every afternoon in the vicinity.

After these elderly and regular customers dispersed, the food truck quickly quieted down.

Still, by eight o'clock in the evening, all the fried cakes and vegetable rolls had sold out.

As Chen Yu finished cleaning the food truck, the anticipated system notification rang in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for perfectly completing a day of business. Today's net profit is 45,420.5 yuan, earning an equal number of points. Current total points are 66,149.]

Chen Yu couldn't contain his excitement. Who would have thought his food truck could net over 40,000 yuan in a single day's profit?

However, Chen Yu quickly reined in his excitement and dialed the supplier's number.

He was truly exhausted and feared he might fall asleep if he waited any longer.

The order was the same as yesterday, except today Chen Yu added fifteen bags of flour and twenty buckets of mineral water.

Calculating the costs, tomorrow's expenses would be 19,900 yuan, and the savings he had accumulated amounted to 40,712 yuan.

A small sense of achievement rose in Chen Yu's heart. At this rate, he'd be able to buy his own house soon.

Looking at the 60,000-plus points, Chen Yu was tempted to see what new skills he could pull.

However, he tried to restrain himself. Currently, making fried cakes and vegetable rolls already left him half-dead from fatigue. If he added another dish, he might not have the energy to cope.

Moreover, earning money had become stable now, and Chen Yu felt no impatience whatsoever.

Additionally, he was curious to see what kind of skills would come from a high-stakes lottery that cost a hundred thousand per draw.

"Chen Yu, what are you thinking about?" Tong Ya suddenly interrupted Chen Yu's thoughts.

"Nothing much!" Chen Yu responded hastily.

"I've replaced the battery for you, and I'll take this one back to charge!"

Chen Yu did not refuse but simply shook his newly bought mobile phone.

"Thanks for your phone!"

Tong Ya's cheeks flushed slightly, "Then you must remember my birthday."

"Definitely!"

Upon receiving Chen Yu's affirmative response, Tong Ya finally drove away.

Having been tired out by the day's events, Tuan Tuan quickly lay down in bed and fell asleep.

Chen Yu yawned, checked the perimeter of the food cart, and then got into the vehicle himself.

A film set.

Fang Yuan, wearing her costume and holding her phone, sat there trembling.

However, she quickly masked her emotions and proceeded to erase all the messages on her phone.

"Chen Yu! You're ruthless."

Just as Fang Yuan was about to curse out loud, her agent hurried over.

"Dear ancestor! Why are you still here? Hurry on over, today is the best chance to hype up your 'ship'!"

Fang Yuan quickly composed herself, trying to transform her anger into a look of tender affection.

Then, following her agent's lead, she approached a popular young actor.

Since the terms had already been negotiated before, their conversation seemed flirtatious but was restrained at the same time.

As Fang Yuan gradually got into character, she repeatedly told herself to forget Tuan Tuan, to forget everything from the past, in order to chase a better future.

Lost in thought, Fang Yuan became even more invested in her role. Coupled with a bit of acting, an unknowing observer might truly believe she and the young idol were an ambiguously romantic couple.

"Sister Fang Yuan, come and have some food! There's a nighttime scene to shoot later!"

Called by the crew, Fang Yuan then separated from the young actor.

But when she saw that the crew had brought her deep-fried cakes and vegetable turnovers, her brow furrowed.

"Who ordered this? Don't they know I'm watching my figure? How can I eat such greasy food?"

"Sister Fang Yuan, give it a try! It's oily but not greasy; it's a unique find for tens of miles around! If we hadn't gone early, they might have already sold out."

Fang Yuan said she wouldn't eat it, but she couldn't resist when the fragrance wafted into her nose.

She unconsciously bit into a vegetable turnover and felt as if she had been struck by an electric shock.

"Ah, this is delicious! Where did it come from?"

"It's several blocks away from here! If Sister Fang Yuan wants more, you can wait for the stall to open tomorrow morning, I think they start at three or four a.m."

Fang Yuan maintained her elegance and finished the vegetable turnover and sugar cake in her hands.

"Since we have a night shoot today anyway, why don't we go to this breakfast spot early tomorrow morning? My treat."

Upon hearing this, all the crew members became excited.

It was also their first time tasting such delicious food.

The popular young actor nearby was also conquered by the fried cakes in his hand, gobbling them up voraciously.
