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

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Gourmet Association

A once extremely secluded area was now suddenly teeming with over a hundred people.

They were dressed in a variety of clothes, clearly small merchants from all walks of life, but now, for some inexplicable reason, they had united together.

It seemed that these people inside the color steel house were also involved, or at least part of the entire chain of interests.

Chen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he dragged the leading man out of the color steel house.

The two accompanying officials next to him seemed somewhat nervous at the moment, with their fingers on the trigger, ready to pull it at any time.

"Steady!"

Chen Yu patted one of the accompanying officials on the shoulder and then slowly walked out.

"I'll give you all a chance, everyone put your hands on your head and stand by the roadside, or else you'll be deemed as assaulting the officials!"

But these people simply did not listen, instead slowly approaching while waving the weapons in their hands.

[Host detected in a dangerous situation, do you need an escape plan to be made?]

Chen Yu couldn't help but be taken aback, the system usually made plans for him directly, why was it now asking him?

"No shit, of course!"

He had barely replied in his mind when suddenly the system fell silent.

Just as Chen Yu was about to speak up, the voice of the system sounded again.

[Best plan has been made, requiring the host to pay 500,000 points]

Chen Yu's pupils dilated slightly, seeming like the system had a bit of a temper, or perhaps it still remembered Chen Yu questioning it the night before.

Moreover, he had just spent ten million points, and today's business wasn't over yet, where would he get another 500,000 points to pay?

He sighed helplessly, never expecting the system to let him down at a critical moment.

Scanning his surroundings, Chen Yu rapidly planned an escape route in his mind.

Even with his exceptional physical fitness, carrying the two men behind him, there's no way he could break through the encirclement of over a hundred people.

After adjusting his breathing slightly, Chen Yu locked onto a surrounding wall.

"Both of you, keep up with me!"

He shouted hastily, then knocked the leader unconscious, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and ran towards the wall, taking two steps at a time.

The two did not dare to delay and closely followed behind Chen Yu.

The wall was high but rickety, and with just one punch on it, Chen Yu brought it crumbling down.

The three of them ran forward with all their might, turned a corner down a narrow alley, and found themselves on the main road outside.

Four in the afternoon.

Zhou Shengtao, looking at the documents and reports in front of him, was overjoyed.

"We've been watching these guys for a long time, desperately lacking evidence, and now we can finally uproot them completely."

But Chen Yu didn't care about these things, he simply placed the bills in front of Zhou Shengtao.

"So these things do not comply with regulations, and the debtor doesn't have to pay them back, right?"

Zhou Shengtao nodded, "Making a person with cerebral palsy pay debts, isn't that a joke? Of course, it doesn't count."

Chen Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Laoliu was his employee after all now, how could he let his own people take on such a huge debt for no reason?

After confirming a few more details with Zhou Shengtao, he returned to the factory.

Hou Jianchang at this moment had already loaded the finished semi-products onto the truck and simultaneously contacted the Tong Group's related officials to take them away.

According to the requirements of the contract, about half of the semi-finished products that had been completed these days, and the rest could all be finished within another week.

After that, the entire factory would be able to get back on track.

Old Wu Six was incessantly talking to Zhou Shengtao at the moment, seemingly lamenting the misfortune of his family.

Chen Yu didn't join the conversation but went over to check the accounts instead.

After all, he had handed over all the affairs of the factory to Zhou Shengtao; there was no need for him to meddle too much.

After verifying the accounts, Chen Yu found an empty room and sat down.

"System, you definitely possess independent consciousness now, I think we need to talk."

[Due to the host's lack of trust, the system refuses.]

Chen Yu was momentarily stunned, astonished that a mere system could have such an attitude.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Shengtao briskly walked in.

"I've investigated the matter. There are a total of four people who were deceived in the factory, each of them with debts of over two hundred thousand..."

"I've already taken care of this issue, the owed money doesn't need to be repaid," Zhou Sheng said.

Hou Jianchang kept nodding his head: "Now that's a relief. My workers here are all half-disabled, their monthly wages are so meager, suddenly saddling them with debts of over two hundred thousand would have ruined their entire families."

Chen Yu didn't say much, simply passing the account book on the table to Hou Jianchang.

"The factory is about to enter normal operations; it's time to find a financial manager. Always doing the accounts myself is time-consuming and laborious."

Hou Jianchang sighed helplessly. "I truly dare not recruit a financial manager from outside right now, most of the ones I had before were disasters."

Chen Yu exhaled softly; the financial department of any company is a key link. If the wrong person is chosen, what's ruined is not just a single company.

[The system can perform fund pool calculations; no financial manager is needed.]

A notification suddenly sounded in Chen Yu's mind, startling him.

Right, he had a system, why bother bringing in a financial manager.

Chen Yu instinctively smacked his head: "Let's talk about it later then, just keep an eye on these accounts for now! But take some rest whenever you can, even if something goes wrong, I've got your back."

Hou Jianchang smiled awkwardly, indeed scared stiff by his past experiences.

At half-past eight in the evening, Chen Yu hurriedly drove back to Shuiyue No.1.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business. Today's profit is twenty-eight million five hundred and sixty thousand yuan, earning the same number of points. The current total accumulated points are twenty-one million four thousand and eighty.]

It seemed that the business system of the factory had not yet been included.

After parking the car in the underground garage, Chen Yu returned to the villa.

But as he entered, he saw a man dressed in a suit and leather shoes engaging Li Lan in conversation in the living room.

Upon seeing Chen Yu come in, the man quickly stood up and handed over an invitation.

"Mr. Chen, I am here on behalf of the Suzhou City Culinary Association to deliver this invitation, hoping you will be able to join us at Huameilai Hotel for a culinary competition tomorrow noon," he said.

Chen Yu frowned, just about to speak when the man hurriedly left, not giving him a chance to talk.

Li Lan stood up excitedly. "Xiao Yu, you're truly famous now; even people from the culinary association are inviting you to competitions."

Chen Yu was unsure of how to explain, although he knew that even if he did, Li Lan would probably not understand the intricacies.

Looking at the invitation in hand, a cold glint flickered in Chen Yu's eyes.

It would be a good opportunity to meet with the culinary association properly.
