After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

Looking at the frenzied crowd around him, Qin Lang also took out his phone, snapped a picture of Lin Fan's calm face, and then posted it to his WeChat Moments, a place filled with top-tier rich kids and business tycoons, with a very Versailles-esque caption:

[This is impressive! A "lifesaving medicine" personally certified by Grandpa Ye, but unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on it. Brother Lin, I'm in awe! [Image]]

……

Zurich, Switzerland.

It was late at night.

Fine snowflakes drifted outside the window, draping this ancient European city in a silvery coat.

In a five-star hotel suite in the city center, Su Qing had just returned to her room after a long and tiring business negotiation.

She slumped onto the sofa, feeling as if all her bones had been removed.

The roadshow this week did not go smoothly.

Those potential European investors were all extremely arrogant, driving down the valuation of the Su Group to an extremely low level, and some even hinted that she should pay some "extra" price.

This week's roadshow did not go smoothly; in fact, it was met with setbacks at every turn.

Su Qing leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her throbbing temples, her heart filled with bitterness.

The feeling of being isolated and helpless in a foreign land, and having to force a smile to socialize, left her feeling deeply exhausted.

"Buzz—"

My phone, which was on the coffee table, suddenly vibrated.

Su Qing opened her eyes hesitantly and picked up her phone.

It's a new WeChat message.

The sender's name is: [Hongda Group - Wang Kai].

Wang Kai: [Qingqing, still busy in Europe? When are you coming back? I miss you so much! [heart][heart]]

Wang Kai: [By the way, when you come back, I have to take you to a great place! There's a new amazing store that just opened in Phoenix Golden Street in Jiangcheng! My WeChat Moments are buzzing with it!]

Wang Kai: [I heard that restaurant has incredibly delicious food, but they only serve a limited number each day! Even Qin Lang, that kid, queues up every day! I think it's called... Lin's Shop? Anyway, when you get back, I'll pull some strings to get you a number, and we'll go try it together!]

Upon seeing this name, Su Qing's already furrowed brows deepened even further.

This is a man who has been pursuing her; his family is in the building materials business.

Ever since he learned of Su Qing's divorce, Wang Kai's offensive has become even more intense, calling her three times a day and constantly saying good morning and good night.

But Su Qing really didn't have a good impression of him.

This guy is rich and loves to show off, but he has no education whatsoever; he's a typical spoiled brat.

If it weren't for the fact that the Su Group recently had a project that required cooperation with Hongda Building Materials, she would have blocked him long ago.

Besides, she's currently preoccupied with the pressure of the company's IPO and has no time to deal with these trivial matters of eating and drinking.

Her fingers flew across the screen as she replied with a perfunctory two sentences:

[Return date uncertain. I've been very busy with work lately, I'll talk about it when I get back.]

After sending the message, she wanted to turn off her phone so she wouldn't have to see Wang Kai's cheesy replies anymore.

However, before the phone screen even went dark, another message from Wang Kai arrived.

Wang Kai: [By the way, I have some explosive news for you! Something big has happened in Jiangcheng! That Mr. Ye Weiguo you've been longing to see actually showed up on Phoenix Golden Street today!]

Upon seeing the name "Ye Weiguo," Su Qing's pupils contracted instantly, and she sat up straight, her previous fatigue vanishing completely.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed in reply: 【Ye Weiguo? What's he doing on Phoenix Golden Street? Inspecting a project?】

Wang Kai replied instantly, sending a voice message filled with unbelievable excitement:

"Hey! What inspection project? You wouldn't believe it! Ye Weiguo went to eat! And he went to a tiny, run-down restaurant that just opened! The whole rich kid circle in Jiangcheng is in an uproar!"

"I'll send you a video, take a look! This world is crazy! Ye Weiguo actually bowed to that cook! My God!"

Immediately afterwards, a video was sent over.

Su Qing's heart began to pound violently.

Ye Weiguo queued up at a small shop? And even bowed to the cook? How is that possible?

Her fingers trembled as she tapped the video.

The video was clearly taken by a passerby without their knowledge. The camera was shaky and the distance was quite far, so the faces were blurry and only the general outlines could be seen.

In the video, that familiar figure—Ye Weiguo—bowed deeply to a tall figure in a white chef's uniform in the open kitchen!

Although she couldn't hear exactly what was said, Su Qing could feel Ye Weiguo's heartfelt gratitude and admiration even through the screen.

"This... really is Ye Weiguo..."

Su Qing murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock and envy.

It should be understood that in Jiangcheng's business world, the name Ye Weiguo represents "heaven," an unshakeable authority!

Normally, let alone getting him to bow, even just getting him to nod to you in public or say "not bad" can cause your company's stock price to jump two limit-up days the next day!

He is the true god of wealth who holds the life and death of countless small and medium-sized enterprises in his hands, and the high branch that all businessmen dream of climbing to!

And Su Qing, this time she abandoned a bunch of domestic affairs and flew thousands of miles to Switzerland, even with jet lag and physical discomfort, even with a stomach hemorrhage at the dinner table, even with a forced smile, what was it all for?

Isn't it all just to establish a tiny connection with the overseas branches of the Yip Group?

She begged and pleaded with everyone she could to see Ye Weiguo, but to no avail.

But what merits did this shop owner possess to receive such a grand gesture from Ye Weiguo?

How much influence must that be? How powerful must that background be?

"What's the name of this shop?" Su Qing asked eagerly.

Wang Kai replied: 【It's the "Lin Family Shop" I just told you about! There's a rumor online that the owner is a reclusive descendant of an imperial chef!】

But looking at the text on the screen, Su Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Lin's Shop?"

Upon seeing the character "林" (Lin), she instinctively felt a sense of disgust.

Because her ex-husband, who still bothers her whenever she thinks about him, also has the surname Lin.

"Why is it always someone with the surname Lin... They're like a persistent ghost."

Despite thinking this, her fingers subconsciously tried to zoom in on the video, wanting to see clearly what the chef who accepted Ye Weiguo's bow looked like.

In the video, the chef is wearing a tall chef's hat, with most of his face obscured by steam and the hat; only his profile and back are relatively clear.

She is tall and slender, moves nimbly, and has a cool and aloof demeanor.

In that instant, Lin Fan's image uncontrollably appeared in Su Qing's mind.

so similar.

His physique, even the angle at which he slightly lowers his head while cooking, is exactly the same as Lin Fan's.

Su Qing's heart skipped a beat, and an absurd thought surged into her mind:

Could it be... him?

But in just a second, she nipped the idea in the bud, even finding it amusing herself.

"Su Qing, Su Qing, are you out of your mind? How could you possibly connect that good-for-nothing to that?"

She laughed self-deprecatingly in the empty room.
