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

On her way back home, Tong Ya drove very slowly.

There was always a smile on her face, and from time to time she hummed a few lines of a song.

Upon reaching the residential complex, she parked the car and her smile never ceased.

Uncontrollably, she started dancing in the underground garage.

Her arms were wrapped as if resting on someone's shoulders.

With graceful motions, she spun around in the garage, as though there truly was someone facing her and dancing along.

"Ghost ah!"

A shrill scream suddenly erupted, snapping Tong Ya back to reality.

In the middle of the night, dancing a partner's dance alone, and doing so convincingly, was bound to scare someone.

Tong Ya was frightened too, her heart still pounding as she hurriedly went upstairs.

When she ran into the room panting, Tang Xiaowei was still sitting on the sofa staring eagerly at the door.

"What are you doing? Sitting here every night without even turning on the light, you scared me to death!"

Tong Ya complained with a touch of resentment and then placed the fried pastries and vegetable turnovers she had brought back on the table.

Tang Xiaowei, who was extremely hungry, didn't mind the greasiness on the bag and grabbed a turnover to gnaw on it.

"I was just waiting for you to bring me some food!"

No sooner had she spoken than Tang Xiaowei noticed Tong Ya's unusually heavy panting.

Grunting so fiercely didn't seem like the aftermath of just strenuous exercise.

An adult-only scenario quickly formed in Tang Xiaowei's mind.

"Tong Ya! You didn't actually get it done, did you? Completely conquered the kid's father?"

Tong Ya naturally understood, "You just wish I'd fall into that trap! Eat your pastry!"

Tang Xiaowei pouted, "If I could eat something this delicious every day, I'd have laid back long ago and let someone have their way!"

Tong Ya rolled her eyes, "By the way, my male god has taken over a shop, and he might need staff after a while. Do you want to go?"

Tang Xiaowei put on an arrogant face, "Please, I wield a paintbrush! An artist! How can I stoop to waitressing?"

"You'll have fried pastries and vegetable turnovers to eat every day! And maybe they'll introduce new dishes after expanding the shop."

Tang Xiaowei stiffened briefly before rising up righteously after a short internal struggle.

"Artists need to experience life too, right? Otherwise, where would inspiration come from?"

Tong Ya looked at her with contempt, "Then just wait for my notice!"

Tang Xiaowei stuffed a pastry into her mouth with a choke, "You really have a bit of a boss lady vibe!"

...

Before three o'clock, Chen Yu awoke from his sleep with a start.

He couldn't tell if it was the unfamiliar bed in his new home or the sudden change in environment that made him uncomfortable.

Slapping his face to wake himself up, Chen Yu quietly washed up and went downstairs.

The main reason for renting this house was to provide Tuan Tuan with a peaceful place to sleep.

If he woke her up, all his efforts would have been in vain.

As soon as he got down to the dining cart, Chen Yu saw Tong Ya's car parked by the road.

With a helpless sigh, he went over and knocked on the car window.

"Tell me, you're not my employee, what's the point of you rushing over so early every day?"

Tong Ya playfully got out of the car, "I'm here to repay my debt; just consider me your little long-term worker!"

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, initially accepting the reason when Tong Ya first mentioned it.

But there had to be a limit to repaying a favor, and all he did was, after all, a small effort in driving Tong Ya to the hospital.

Over the past few days, Chen Yu suddenly realized that now this reason seemed to be one he was using to convince himself, allowing Tong Ya to stay by his side.

"You should take a good rest too, and besides, you're not working here full-time. You're a teacher!"

Tong Ya pouted like a child.

"Since ancient times, isn't repaying a debt of gratitude always like this? Lady White Snake, Sea Snail Maiden, Red Fish Lady, which one didn't work from dawn to dusk tirelessly?"

Chen Yu's head was filled with question marks—how could you compare real life to fairy tales?

Before he could reply, the supplier for the raw materials arrived.

Chen Yu hurriedly received the materials into the food truck, banging out his preparations at a rapid pace.

After all, the renovation of the storefront was today, and there might be many things he needed to do.

Tong Ya also put on her work gear, following Chen Yu around like a little shadow.

Though these past few days had been tiring, Chen Yu's pace had unknowingly picked up.

And his techniques for kneading dough and preparing fillings were firmly etched into Tong Ya's memory.

As usual, after crushing the raw materials, she deftly shaped the fillings herself, her skills so professional they even matched Chen Yu's.

"Looks like it won't be long before you learn all the tricks I know! You're taking my job away from me!"

Tong Ya giggled, "So you should work harder and come up with some new dishes!"

Chen Yu turned to look at the store behind him.

"It is about time to come up with some new dishes!"

Working together, the two were indeed fast.

After Chen Yu finished the dough, he immediately started wrapping fried cakes and vegetable turnovers.

To his surprise, Tong Ya had learned this process as well.

But compared to Chen Yu, Tong Ya was still slow.

Chen Yu could produce five while Tong Ya could barely finish one.

"Wrapping clockwise is a bit faster!" Chen Yu didn't mind at all and kept instructing her.

Tong Ya was eager to learn, and sure enough, her speed improved a lot.

She looked at her accomplishments, feeling very pleased.

By four o'clock, when the crowd started coming, the two had already wrapped quite a few semi-finished products.

At six-thirty, Xie Jiang also arrived with dozens of workers in front of the food truck.

"Old Chen! Our crew's meals will be settled here for the next few days, so you'll have to work a bit harder!"

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, "You guys are here to renovate for me, I should be treating you to meals! Why settle any meals here?"

"No way, everything must be kept separate! No confusion."

Saying that, he directly paid.

"Boss Chen, are you switching to a bigger shop?" A young girl asked expectantly.

Chen Yu pointed to the shop across the street, "Yes, right across! Once the renovation is finished, we'll move in there!"

With that, the queue of people at the scene erupted into chatter.

"With business booming like this, it's time to expand. Otherwise, we can't even get a seat to eat!"

"Make sure to let us know ahead of time when you open, so we can come support you!"

"We've got to do justice to Boss Chen's grand opening!"

...

Word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon everyone coming to the food truck knew Chen Yu was expanding his business.

At six-thirty, Tong Ya washed up a bit and went to the third floor to pick up Tuan Tuan from school.

Just then, Chen Yu suddenly noticed a girl skulking around the food truck.

She was dressed in a panda costume, completely wrapped up, and in her hands, she held a paintbrush and a sketchpad, continuously sketching something.

However, Chen Yu merely glanced at her and didn't pay much attention to it.
