Chen Yu didn't pay much attention to this woman. After making sure that Wang Qingshan and Chu Hong could operate the marinated food process in an orderly manner, he got in his car and headed straight for the farmer's market.
Beyond purchasing ingredients for the staff meals, he also needed to buy the ingredients for the medicinal meals. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
In the hall, the woman in sunglasses looked at the noodles and marinated meat in front of her and couldn't wait to take a bite.
"I truly didn't expect them to have a new product this time; I'm so in love with this place! I'll tell my agent I want to shoot in Suzhou City from now on."
The assistant by her side was startled upon hearing this.
"Sister Rui, it's enough just to say so here. If the company or the paparazzi hear this, they will definitely make a big deal out of it."
Su Rui snorted coldly, "So what? Let them make a fuss if they want to; I just love it! Hey, why didn't you get some donkey meat? Bring it here quickly; I want to try it."
At that moment, many people's gazes had already been drawn to Su Rui.
After all, it was hard not to be noticed when accompanied by so many bodyguards.
Just then, a young girl pretending to be nonchalant circled around and snuck a quick glance.
"Ah! Su Rui! It really is the big star Su Rui!"
The shop was already crowded, and this shout immediately alarmed everyone.
Some fangirls screamed, took out their phones, and ran over.
The bodyguards quickly stepped forward, forming a ring, and circled Su Rui in the center.
"What are you all doing?" Su Rui was somewhat angry, "They're my fans; why block them? Moreover, this is someone else's restaurant. We are all here to eat, so cut out these pretentious airs."
Although the bodyguards were scolded, they didn't back away but instead tightened the circle slightly and left a small gap open.
The very first girl who had spotted Su Rui excitedly came forward with a notebook.
"Sister Su, I really like you. Can I have your autograph?"
Su Rui generously wrote down her name and handed it over.
The screams in the shop grew even louder; after all, a star so approachable emitted an inexplicably warm feeling.
Tong Ya had just descended from the third floor. When she saw the situation in the shop, she frowned.
However, when she heard someone shouting Su Rui's name, her pupils dilated slightly.
She hurriedly squeezed through the crowd.
"Su Rui? Is it really you?"
Hearing this voice, Su Rui also hastily stood up and took off her sunglasses.
"Tong Ya? What are you doing here?"
Crossing her arms, Tong Ya sat down beside Su Rui with an air of pride.
"I'm the owner here, why can't I be here?"
Su Rui's mouth fell open in surprise, "The owner?"
As soon as she asked, Tong Ya clapped her hands.
"Everyone, please don't crowd here. Su Rui will have the chance to come here again in the future, and I hope everyone can stay calm and maintain order while dining."
At her words, the people nearby immediately quieted down.
"Wow, when the boss lady speaks, we better disperse."
"It looks like the boss lady and Su Rui have a good relationship; there will be other opportunities."
...
Seeing this, the customers dispersed, and Su Rui was finally certain of Tong Ya's status as the owner.
"So, does that mean it's your husband who made these delicious dishes?"
Tong Ya's face lit up with a hint of bragging, "You also like the stuff my husband makes."
Su Rui nodded repeatedly, "I love it so much. The last time I was here for the reality show and tried it, that flavor was unforgettable for a lifetime."
As she spoke, Su Rui got up and looked around, "Where's your husband? Let me get a look at the man who can make such delicious food. What does he look like?"
"He's gone out to prepare ingredients for the staff meal; he should be back in an hour."
Tong Ya propped her chin up with one hand, her eyes turning towards the door suddenly filled with expectation.
Su Rui suddenly grabbed Tong Ya's hand, "I'm so envious of you! You can truly pursue your freedom! I can't do that; my family elders were all in the cultural troupe, so I had no choice but to mingle in the entertainment circle."
Tong Ya chuckled playfully without saying much.
During this time, Su Rui sent her assistant and bodyguard away.
Around ten in the morning, Chen Yu parked the car at the front door.
"Han Cai, call a couple of people to help carry the vegetables!"
Han Cai, who was busy in the lobby, heard Chen Yu's voice and quickly rushed out with Du Ling and Liu Tong.
Tong Ya reflexively got up and ran out following them.
Su Rui followed closely behind; she wanted to see for herself what kind of man Tong Ya had married.
"Honey, you're back!"
Once outside, Tong Ya threw herself into Chen Yu's arms.
Chen Yu affectionately tapped her forehead, "I've just come back from the market, I'm all covered in mud, don't you mind getting dirty?"
Tong Ya pouted, "Why would I mind my own husband?"
Su Rui was forced to watch this sweet display of affection.
"Wow, Tong Ya, your husband is so handsome!"
Chen Yu glanced up, "And you are?"
He rarely paid attention to the entertainment industry, so he didn't recognize Su Rui.
Tong Ya quickly introduced her, "My college classmate, Su Rui, just like Xiao Wei, she's also one of my childhood friends!"
Chen Yu nodded, offering a simple 'hello' before plunging back into moving bundles of vegetables inside.
Su Rui felt a touch disappointed; even though she was a big star, she seemed to hold no importance in Chen Yu's eyes.
Moreover, looking at Chen Yu, he seemed to only have eyes for Tong Ya, which made Su Rui genuinely envious.
Those in the entertainment industry, for various reasons, often couldn't properly engage in relationships.
Their days were spent either promoting CPs or creating scandals with strangers.
From the outside, their relationships looked so heart-wrenching and touching, but deep down they knew, it was all an act.
Once Chen Yu got to the kitchen, he immediately set up the large pot and began preparing meals according to the number of people in Xie Jiang's family.
Before long, the rich fragrance had already begun to waft through the air.
Once again drawn by the aroma, Su Rui couldn't help but walk over.
"Your husband can also cook Sichuan cuisine? Can you get some for me to try?"
Tong Ya shook her head, "Today the neighbor's hardware store owner reserved a birthday table, this is especially made for them. You'll have to wait if you want some."
Su Rui pouted, then suddenly leaned into Tong Ya's ear.
"Lately, I've been thinking of terminating my contract with the agency and registering my own company in Suzhou City."
Tong Ya was momentarily stunned, "I remember your company is ranked among the top ten in the world, right? So many people can't even get in, and you actually want to break the contract!"
Su Rui licked her lips, "I've been truly enchanted by your husband's... ah, no! Enchanted by his cooking."
