Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Pre-Race Reception

"Little girl, can you sell me this design drawing?"

Pelota's eyes were filled with longing, tinged with a hint of greed.

Tong Ya huffed, "I've already applied for a personal patent for this design, so even if you buy it, you can't mass produce it! If you don't plan on helping me make this wedding dress, I can find someone else."

Having spoken so dominantly, Tong Ya took the drawing from Pelota's hands and left the shop, arm in arm with Chen Yu.

"We even booked a hotel here before coming, and I didn't expect Pelota to be so arrogant."

Tong Ya muttered, her face full of grievances.

With a helpless smile, Chen Yu said, "What can we do when they're famous!"

After wandering around the nearby streets, the two returned to the hotel.

Sitting on a plane all day had tired even the physically fit Chen Yu, not to mention Tong Ya.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business, today's net profit is 10,800 yuan, earning 10,800 points, the current total accumulated points are 6,157,780.]

It seems that the cost invested in the shop yesterday was accounted for by the system, but the factory's investment was still not included.

In the afternoon upon arrival in Frankfurt, Chen Yu made an international long-distance call to the supplier.

He directly booked the supply of marinades and fresh vegetables for the next seven days, asking them to deliver at seven o'clock every evening to the shop.

For this alone, Chen Yu paid 2,135,500 yuan.

Taking into account today's total sales, Chen Yu's current account had shrunk to 10,300,000 yuan.

"Husband, are you calculating accounts again? We're already in bed, why are you still daydreaming?" Tong Ya cuddled up to Chen Yu's shoulder very affectionately.

Chen Yu turned his head and stroked Tong Ya's chin, "I was thinking about where to get your designed wedding dress made."

"That was just something I drew for fun. I don't want to wear a wedding dress for a wedding; I want the most authentic Chinese wedding ceremony! I came here just to take a set of Western style wedding photos—it doesn't matter what wedding dress I wear."

Though Tong Ya said this, her eyes were still intently fixed on the design drawing of the wedding dress.

Chen Yu also secretly took note of this.

Early the next morning, the couple went to the bridal photo studio they had previously booked.

It was only there they learned that if they wanted to take wedding photos across Europe as they had initially planned, they would need to embark on a fourteen-day European tour.

With this limiting condition, it seemed impossible to have the wedding photos taken after all.

With no other choice, the two could only wander around the sights of Frankfurt.

In the evening, as they were leaving a castle, they ran into Bai Qiu and Du Bing.

"Mr. Chen, are you here for travel?"

Bai Qiu was somewhat surprised, as he didn't expect to encounter Chen Yu here.

Moreover, since they had parted in such a hurry last time at the airport, he hadn't had the chance to ask Chen Yu what he was doing here.

Chen Yu shrugged, "I was invited to attend a competition, and I arrived two days early, so I've been touring around."

"A competition? Could it be the day after tomorrow's Zeus League Challenge?" Bai Qiu suddenly became excited.

Chen Yu nodded, "Does the elder also know about this competition?"

"This is the most famous competition in all of Europe, and for the time being, it's the only competition happening in Frankfurt! By the way, Mr. Chen, do you cook?"

"I know a little!"

Chen Yu was very humble, "This time, I am representing the culinary department of the Tong Group to participate in the competition."

"What a coincidence!"

Bai Qiu took out a platinum identity tag from his person, "I am one of the invited guests for this competition, and I will be making an appearance as well."

Next to him, Du Bing took out two invitations from his person and handed them to Chen Yu.

"Tonight at seven, there will be a cocktail party for the invited guests of the competition, and if you're interested, you're welcome to attend."

Chen Yu had been worried about having nowhere to go these couple of days out of boredom, and he had not expected that there would be a cocktail party before the competition.

It was already evening at the moment, and only a few hours were left before the start of the cocktail party.

The four of them then strolled around the vicinity together before heading directly to the cocktail party venue.

The majority of the invited guests were sponsors of the competition or influential figures from various fields.

There were also some world-famous actors and a few competing contestants.

The cocktail party venue was also extremely imposing, set within an ancient castle with a history of a thousand years.

Bai Qiu even had someone bring Chen Yu and Tong Ya a set of fitted formal attire.

Both of them, whether in figure or appearance, ranked top among those with Eastern features, and with the enhancement of formal wear, they instantly became the most dazzling presence upon entering the scene.

Almost everyone's gaze was drawn to him, even the musicians stopped their tunes.

"Who are these two? Why haven't we ever seen them before? Could they be actors from some Eastern country?"

"Looking at their temperament, they must come from some prominent family."

"Quick, check the guest list, I want to know their identities in the shortest time possible."

...

Fang Yuan was also present at the venue, having secured the position of host for the Zeus Alliance Challenge through Han Mintao's connections.

But now she hid in a corner, not daring to move forward in the least.

It wasn't because Chen Yu and Tong Ya were too dazzling, but rather she was afraid of facing Chen Yu.

According to the persona she had crafted, she had never met Chen Yu, and if she got too close and any microexpression was captured by the media, it could collapse the persona she had painstakingly built.

The convergence of everyone's gaze made Chen Yu somewhat uncomfortable, so he pulled Tong Ya over to a corner and started eating pastries on his own.

[Congratulations, Host, on completing a day of business. Since costs have exceeded profits, there are no points to be added.]

Chen Yu wasn't surprised in the least; after all, he had invested over two million yesterday, while his revenue for the day was just over one million nine hundred and thirty thousand. It would have been strange if there had been a profit. seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Mr. Chen, I really didn't expect to see you in Frankfurt!"

Charles called out excitedly and walked over with a glass of wine in his hand.

Chen Yu slightly furrowed his brow, as he didn't have much affection for Charles.

As a Michelin three-star chef, to actually block someone's shop entrance just to force their chef into a competition with him.

Such a person had issues with his character.

Chen Yu reluctantly squeezed out a bit of a smile, "Mr. Charles, it seems like you will also be participating in the competition the day after tomorrow."

Charles sighed helplessly, "Since Mr. Chen is participating, I definitely don't stand a chance of even placing."

While they were chatting casually, a sudden sound of a glass bottle breaking rang out. A portly middle-aged man suddenly fell from the second floor.
