Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Zeus Alliance
```
At eight in the evening, all the delivered raw materials had been placed in the warehouse, and the entire store was cleaned and closed for the night.
[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business, today's net profit is 1,636,600 yuan, and you have earned 1,636,600 points, with a current total accumulation of 61,399,980 points]
Chen Yu couldn't help but feel excited, it wouldn't take long to gather another ten million points.
However, after purchasing next week's raw materials, along with the meat and vegetables needed for tomorrow, there was only 10,800 yuan left in Chen Yu's payment account.
Chen Yu didn't put it into his current account but planned to use it to buy more porridge ingredients.
The spare funds that Chen Yu had left over this period had been almost entirely invested, and another ten thousand wasn't much.
Including the bounty Zhou Shengtao gave today, Chen Yu's current account once again had over ten million in deposits.
The task now was to speed up the establishment of the factory.
After dinner and a quick tidy up, Chen Yu took Chen Guang and Tong Ya back to Shuiyue Number One.
As soon as he parked the car, Chen Yu saw a long queue in front of his villa.
All of them were the neighborhood's elderly uncles and aunts.
"Dear neighbors, my son hasn't arrived back yet, I hope everyone can wait patiently."
Looking at the scene, the news of Chen Yu healing Auntie Wang last night had spread throughout the neighborhood.
When Chen Yu got to the door, he was immediately surrounded by these uncles and aunts.
"Young Boss Chen, I've been suffering from insomnia recently, please take a look at me."
"I've been having trouble seeing things clearly, and the hospital couldn't find any problems either."
"My husband and I have been married for eight years and have never had a child..."
...
Chen Yu was at a loss for words, the ailments were varied, and some people didn't have any real problems; they were just there for the excitement.
"Everyone, it is quite late now, so let's do this: write down your symptoms on a piece of paper, and if you have medical records, that's even better. Pass them all to me tomorrow morning, and I will tend to each one of you."
Hearing Chen Yu's arrangement, the many neighbors present didn't say much more and dispersed.
Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The TV in the living room was showing the anime produced by Tang Xiaowei, and it seemed to have been updated to the third episode.
Chen Yu couldn't help but admire the girl's speed at updating.
After watching it with Tuan Tuan for a while, Chen Yu stretched lazily and went back to his room.
Just as he lay down, his phone received a text message.
It was an invitation to the Zeus Culinary Alliance, forwarded by Tong Ming.
Chen Yu had heard of this alliance before.
It was said that all of Europe's top chefs were within the alliance.
"Son-in-law, the Zeus Culinary Alliance has issued a challenge. This is a world-class contest between Western and Chinese cuisine, the stake being half the Chinese restaurants in Europe. Are you interested in representing Tong Group in the competition?"
Reading the message, Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Wife, does Tong Group have any restaurants besides the breakfast brand?"
Tong Ya nodded, "Yes, there are some high-end restaurants that are more show than substance, both domestic and international."
After a brief reply, Tong Ya tilted her head to glance at Chen Yu's phone screen.
"The Zeus Alliance! Husband, I'm afraid you really need to make a trip. This alliance has always been the public enemy of overseas Chinese restaurants. In the past two decades, they have initiated challenges more than forty times with the aim of nipping Chinese cuisine in the bud."
It was the first time Chen Yu had heard of such an audacious alliance.
"According to the invitation, the competition should be in three days. How about we go tomorrow? It would be a perfect opportunity to have our wedding photos taken there."
```
Tong Ya immediately got excited, "Great!"
…
In the capital, Qingquan Mountain Film and Television Base.
Fang Yuan was packing her luggage in a bit of a hurry.
Han Mintao was also beside her, helping to prepare her daily necessities.
"Daughter, this notice should allow you to stay in Europe for at least a week, remember, don't be in a hurry to come back, wait for my message."
Fang Yuan didn't speak, just continued to pack her luggage in a fluster.
She didn't even bother to answer her constantly ringing phone.
By now, Fang Yuan had already successfully become an on-screen couple with Zhao Hai.
The capital's major media had even concocted a love story for the two of them.
But Fang Yuan knew that all she wanted was the commercial value that Zhao Hai could bring.
Being with Zhao Hai, that was absolutely impossible.
The milk tea shop had been doing quite well during this time.
Just another half a month and she would be able to fulfill the terms of the contract, becoming capital herself.
Then she would be able to completely rid herself of Zhao Hai.
But at this stage, she could only rely on Zhao Hai and choose to stay far away, avoiding meeting him as much as possible in the face of relentless harassment.
At this juncture, Fang Yuan was panicking.
She was afraid that Zhao Hai, in a fit of anger, would cut off their cooperation, and then it would be a long way off before she could fulfill the contract.
"Mom, can you really guarantee that everything will go smoothly?"
Han Mintao nodded, "Don't worry, when I signed the contract I was cautious. Even if Zhao Hai unilaterally terminates the agreement, we can still operate the milk tea shop independently, after all, we just need to collect the franchise fee."
Fang Yuan's tense emotions relaxed slightly, she didn't linger any longer, picked up her suitcase, and got into the nanny car parked outside.
Seeing the car drive away, Han Mintao also breathed a sigh of relief.
She lit a lady's cigarette, calmed her emotions, then leaned back in a chair at the photo studio.
About half an hour later, Zhao Hai's sports car stopped at the entrance of the studio.
"Sister Han, where is Miss Fang?"
Han Mintao exhaled a ring of smoke, "Young Master Zhao, you're out of luck, Fang Yuan had to catch an urgent notice, I'm afraid she's already on the plane now."
Zhao Hai couldn't help frowning; he had arranged meetings with Fang Yuan several times, but every time it seemed like they just missed each other.
He suddenly lost his patience.
"Sister Han, you and Miss Fang aren't deliberately making fun of me, are you?"
Han Mintao put out her cigarette and took out a notice from her bag.
"What are you talking about, I wouldn't dare make fun of you. This notice was indeed urgent, involving several international bigwigs, and that Zeus Alliance in Europe."
Zhao Hai took the notice and frowned.
Although this alliance was only a chefs' union, all the chefs inside were world-class, and it was affiliated with a significant number of large international capitals.
If it were a typical entertainment circle notice from the capital, he could have used his influence to put a stop to it with just a word.
But this one, even his father, would probably be powerless to intervene.
Zhao Hai cleared his throat a few times, "I really didn't expect Miss Fang to go international. Make sure you let me know when she's back, so I can welcome her."
Han Mintao chuckled a few times, "Naturally, the relationship between you and Fang Yuan is quite special. I'll definitely let you know when she's back."
