After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person Chapter 276: Chapter 276 Renovating the Shop

The parent-child event at the school didn't last very long, and by two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu and Tong Ya had already returned to the shop.

The shop had now entered a state of autonomous operation, and it could run normally even if Chen Yu didn't manage it at all.

Moreover, the popularity of the shop far exceeded Chen Yu's expectations.

In the past, by eight in the evening, there would hardly be any custors left, but now, people were still coming to the shop at midnight wanting to eat.

Additionally, the various revenues of the shop had basically stabilized, and many were coming here to reserve tables.

As such, the shop was beginning to feel a bit cramped.

Wang Qingshan and the other two chefs were already swamped with work. Since coming in the morning, they hadn't left the kitchen and hadn't even had a chance to take a sip of water.

Actually, if one really thinks about it, the original scale of their shop was just a breakfast place, catering to a very limited crowd.

But as its fa grew, more and more people started coming, and now with the steady stream of people booking tables for banquets, the shop was becoming overwheld.

Wang Qingshan and his colleagues, feeling helpless, could only select a few waiters with decent talent and bring them into the kitchen to help out.

However, this made staffing in other areas sowhat tight.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yu didn't say much and went straight to the kitchen to help.

"Old Chen, how co you have ti to co by today?"

Wang Qingshan was sowhat surprised; it had been a long ti since he had last seen Chen Yu.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chen Yu replied, "I was at the school with the kid today and just happened to pass by, so I ca to have a look. I didn't expect our business to be booming like this."

Wang Qingshan sighed helplessly, "It's more than just booming. You don't know what it's like here at our busiest tis. Even those girls outside don't have ti to rest!"

"They can't even get a good night's sleep. If you ask , we should hire more people. If possible, we should also consider expanding the shop."

Chen Yu nodded, he had similar thoughts. Now that the shop's revenue had significantly increased, they could further expand the shop just from its earnings.

With that in mind, he subconsciously glanced across the street.

This street was considered one of the more bustling locales in Suzhou City, but now, apart from so other shops, there was only his restaurant left, and it seed like the convenience store across the street had started clearing out, preparing to move.

It was said that because a supermarket had opened nearby, the impact on the convenience store was too great, forcing them to leave.

However, the location of the convenience store was a pri spot, not only connecting with several specific buildings but also hooked up to a building behind!

If he could take over both the convenience store and the building behind it, not only could they strike while the iron's hot and expand the shop, but they could also build a hotel and even transition the shop to a 24-hour operating model.

At this thought, Chen Yu suddenly fell into deep contemplation, and his movents unconsciously ca to a halt.

Right at that mont, a middle-aged man barged into the shop in a hurry. He didn't care whether there were people around or not, and quite rudely pushed through several people in line to get to the window.

"What the hell is going on with your shop? Why did my child suddenly die after eating food from here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they startled everyone present, and all eyes quickly turned to the middle-aged man.

He was a sight, clad in tattered clothes, bruises covering his arms and legs, and even so bloodstains on his forehead—clearly, he had just gotten into a brawl.

Moreover, he looked dizzy, as if he were drunk.

Chen Yu's brow furrowed deeply as he quickly peered out from the kitchen.

Before he could speak, Wang Qingshan raised the large spoon in his hand.

"Where did you co from? Our restaurant is well-known far and wide, and there's absolutely no such thing as dead people here. If you're looking to cause trouble, do it sowhere else. We don't serve your kind here," he said.

Yet the middle-aged man was unrelenting, laying himself on the ground and rolling around.

The custors nearby frowned at the scene, but they didn't intend to leave, still waiting in line there.

After all, it was alti, and they had already queued for such a long ti—how could they just leave?

A group of delivery guys waiting on the side, upon seeing this situation, moved forward to help, with two even trying to drag the middle-aged man out.

Chen Yu let out a heavy sigh, feeling that sothing was off no matter how he looked at it. He had never seen this man before; it was impossible for him to specifically co to cause trouble, unless soone was behind this.

Just then, he suddenly noticed an old man with white hair standing not far from the shop's entrance.

The old man seed panicked, pacing back and forth on the street as if he was waiting for sothing.

After giving a few instructions to Wang Qingshan, Chen Yu walked out to approach the old man.

"Sir, you've been wandering around here for quite a while. Is there sothing you need? If there's an issue, we can go inside and talk," he suggested.

Startled, the elder took a few steps back involuntarily, watching Chen Yu with a wary gaze.

"Don't play dumb with . I did my howork before coming here. You, young man, practice sorcery, bewitch people, especially with the dishes you cook, adding so sort of love potion to them. Anyone who eats your food becos blindly loyal to you!" the old man accused.

Chen Yu's mouth fell open in shock—what was this all about?

"Sir, perhaps there's so misunderstanding about ? My restaurant is legitimate, and we certainly don't engage in any other..." he began.

Before Chen Yu could finish, the old man pulled out a newspaper from his person.

One could not tell which publishing house had produced it, but it painted Chen Yu's restaurant as a den of evil.

All sorts of absurd charges were attributed to him, even claiming he was ssing around with won on the side.

But even if these allegations were true, what did they have to do with the old man? Why would he co unprovoked to cause a scene?

Without waiting for a response, the old man pointed toward the high-rise behind him.

"I live right here, I can keep an eye on you every day. Whatever you do, I can see it all. I advise you to repent before it's too late, otherwise, I'll hand over all the evidence to the authorities," he threatened.

Chen Yu was unnerved, slandered beyond any reasonable asure.

Moreover, he himself was an external mber of the said authorities and had every right to arrest the old man for defamation!
