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

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Painting Murals



Tong Ya looked at Tang Xiaowei with annoyance. This guy was clearly here for the fried cakes and vegetable pies.

However, she didn't say much else, just put on her apron and gloves, and entered the food cart.

Tang Xiaowei seemed to have grasped that Tong Ya wouldn't dare to be too barbaric in front of Chen Yu.

She gradually became more and more unrestrained.

"Boss! Then I'll draw a few more! Can you cover my dinner today as well?"

"Cover what? You still need to pay!" Tong Ya suddenly scolded, "You really think it's falling from the sky, free for you to eat!"

Tang Xiaowei was startled. Tong Ya indeed had to act more ladylike in front of Chen Yu.

In Tong Ya's mind, she probably already considered everything belonging to Chen Yu as hers.

Tang Xiaowei pursed her lips, "Just now the boss said we could trade with drawings! You're not the boss's wife, why are you saying it's not okay?"

Tong Ya stood up angrily, "It doesn't matter whether I am or not! Go clean up that bench, later you will help Tuan Tuan collect money!"

This scolding scared Tang Xiaowei.

"Why are you so fierce! I'll go, isn't that okay?"

No sooner had Tang Xiaowei turned her head than she saw Tuan Tuan.

She had seen him in a photo before and was almost melted by his cuteness at that time.

Now that she saw him in person, Tang Xiaowei was even more excited and directly went to pick Tuan Tuan up.

"So you're called Tuan Tuan! I've finally met you, sister!"

Tuan Tuan's little face looked somewhat puzzled.

"Sister, do we know each other?"

Tang Xiaowei felt a bit awkward, "Well, I'm a good sister of your teacher Tong Ya! Let me help you collect money."

Hearing that Tang Xiaowei was a friend of his teacher, Tuan Tuan nodded and, like a little adult, began to teach Tang Xiaowei hand in hand.

Soon, customers had already surrounded the food cart.

"Hey, young boss Chen, another pretty girl has come here!"

"Being handsome is different after all, attracting all the pretty girls."

"Girlie, do you have a boyfriend? Want me to introduce one to you?"

...

A group of uncles and aunties bombarded Tang Xiaowei with a three-question combo, leaving her flustered.

"Xiaowei is our waitress here, you can ask her to place an order, pay the bill!"

Tong Ya suddenly shouted, branding Tang Xiaowei with a waitress's label.

By eight o'clock in the evening, all the fried cakes and vegetable pies had sold out.

Tang Xiaowei had never done such a thing before, and as soon as she relaxed, she slumped down there.

"Oh my God, just taking money and placing orders, and I'm this tired. Tong Ya, how have you been managing these days?"

Tong Ya didn't respond but walked over and lifted her up with quite the air of a boss's wife.

"You better get up and clean the tables now, or forget about eating later!"

Tang Xiaowei pouted and started to reluctantly wipe the tables.

After cleaning up the food cart, Chen Yu also heard the system's voice in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host, for perfectly completing a day's business. Since costs exceed profits, no points accumulated for now, current total points are one hundred forty-seven thousand and forty.]

Chen Yu was slightly stunned. Although he had guessed it would be this result yesterday, he still felt somewhat disappointed.

It looked like he wouldn't see any point accumulation until tomorrow, at the earliest.

After steadying his emotions, Chen Yu went ahead and called to order raw materials, as was his routine.

The same raw materials as yesterday, totaling nineteen thousand one hundred yuan.

Chen Yu roughly calculated today's turnover, and the savings he now had on hand reached ninety-two thousand three hundred and twenty yuan once again.

Seeing this result eased some of the disappointment in Chen Yu's heart.

No matter what, he could always maintain a net profit of over forty thousand per day.

"I'll take the battery back to charge!"

Tong Ya gently patted Chen Yu's back.

"No need!" Chen Yu pointed to a shop next door, "I have a place to charge now! In a few days, we won't need them anymore."

Just then, Tuan Tuan suddenly grabbed Tong Ya and Chen Yu's hands.

"Let's go quickly, let's see how the shop renovation is going!"

Tang Xiaowei had just finished packing up her drawing board, and when she saw Chen Yu and the others walking toward the shop, she suddenly felt a sensation.

"They really look like a family of three!"

Muttering to herself, she hurriedly followed them.

By the end of the day, Xie Jiang and his construction crew had completely overhauled the entire shop.

Using the old restaurant's layout as a base and incorporating Chen Yu's own design ideas, Xie Jiang indeed made it absolutely perfect.

With this rate of progress, in at most two more days he would be able to move in.

Plus, Xie Jiang used environmentally friendly materials, completely harmless.

Even if there was a slight release of formaldehyde, Xie Jiang had cleaned it up during the construction.

At this moment, Xie Jiang had also gathered the workers, paid them their daily wages, and then sent them home.

"Old Chen! How does it look?"

Chen Yu nodded repeatedly, "This has surpassed my imagination! Thank you for your hard work, Old Xie!"

"You're being too polite!" Xie Jiang said as he took out some certification.

"Here are some official proofs, in case relevant departments come for inspection in the future, they will be useful!"

Chen Yu was surprised, he had dealt with construction teams before.

Such certificates were not something many teams would provide.

He had not expected that Xie Jiang would get all the documents ready on the first day of construction!

"Old Xie, I don't even know what to say! By the way, is the ten thousand yuan I prepaid enough? If not, you've got to tell me."

Xie Jiang laughed heartily, "Don't be fooled by the transformation here; we just made some simple modifications on the original basis. All the raw materials added up to just over four thousand, and the rest is just the workers' wages and food, not really much expense!"

Just at that moment, Tang Xiaowei suddenly screamed.

"This wall, it's just perfect!"

Tong Ya frowned, "Xiaowei, what's wrong with you now?"

Tang Xiaowei pointed at the wall, "I can paint a three-dimensional mural here! Just give me one day, and I promise you'll be satisfied."

Although Tong Ya hesitated, she didn't refuse.

She knew Tang Xiaowei's drawing skills well; she had a bit of fame both in the comic and oil painting circles.

And originally, she was a mural painter herself. The highest-priced mural she ever sold went for twenty thousand yuan.

Chen Yu smiled slightly, "Alright, this wall will be yours to handle then! After it's done, you name your price; I can't let you work for nothing!"

"No need to wait, I'll come with the construction crew tomorrow! I'll do my painting while they do their work. We all need to apply putty anyway, so nobody will get in the other's way!"

"And also, I don't want any payment, just give me more fried cakes and vegetable pies," Tong Xiaowei said with a smile.

Xie Jiang was also stunned for a moment.

"Old Chen, I didn't expect you had such a master around! I was wondering what to hang in this place, but now it seems, painting a mural is just perfect!"
