After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu was immediately thrilled and quickly sat down to review all the inspection records.

Liu Kuohai indeed had an airtight way of speaking; there was not a single flaw in the inspection records, only an admission of some minor offenses.

If this continued, he might be released on bail after forty-eight hours.

Chen Yu took a moment to regulate his breathing. Currently, Liu Kuohai was not his concern, and as for the Childe Family, they still lurked in the shadows, having not yet shown their faces.

He had to settle the matter of Xiangyun Restaurant in the shortest time possible.

The next morning, Chen Yu was already in front of his computer, watching the stock market's movements.

Ban Cheng immediately sold all his stocks at market opening at nine o'clock.

At the same time, Chen Yu swiftly moved to buy up all the shares that Ban Cheng had released.

By this point, the entire stock of Xiangyun Restaurant was completely under the control of the sole proprietorship established by Chen Yu and Ban Cheng.

Chen Yu let out a long sigh of relief, immediately located the contract he had prepared earlier, and headed straight to the top floor of Xiangyun Restaurant.

Ban Cheng had already been anxiously waiting in his office.

As soon as Chen Yu walked in, Ban Cheng immediately greeted him and placed a portion of the documents on the table.

"Mr. Chen, we don't have much time; those old fellas will come to check the situation before too long,"

Chen Yu didn't say much, simply spread out the documents he brought on the table, and then both men quickly signed and sealed them.

Once all the procedures were completed, a series of hurried footsteps sounded at the door. Chen Yu immediately dodged, hiding behind a large screen.

"Ban Cheng, how did it go? Did we get a good price for our stocks?"

Ban Cheng immediately welcomed them with a smile and pushed the newly signed contract in front of the crowd.

"Gentlemen, all you need to do is sign these contracts, and then you can receive the money from selling your shares. I guarantee it's a good price,"

Without any hesitation, the people immediately signed their names, not even glancing at the contracts.

These old fellows were already impatient, eager to get their money for retirement and couldn't care less about these empty formalities.

After they had signed the contracts, Ban Cheng directly brought out a laptop and completed the last part of the transaction.

A significant amount of money immediately transferred to the elders' hands; when they saw their balances, their faces instantly darkened.

"Ban Cheng, what on earth is going on? How come the share price is still the same as yesterday?"

The smile instantly vanished from Ban Cheng's face.

"Uncles and elders, you have spent enough time at Xiangyun Restaurant, made numerous contributions, and it's time for you to retire and enjoy your remaining years,"

The people were taken aback for a moment, subconsciously looking at the contracts they had just signed.

When they clearly saw the content of the contracts, they immediately became agitated.

"Ban Cheng, you dare to trick us! Do you realize that what you're doing is fraud?"

Ban Cheng didn't care much about that, pulling over a chair to sit down in.

"I have already exhausted my duties and obligations to you all. If you feel the money you've received is too little, I can add more, but I hope you will no longer interfere with the matters of Xiangyun Restaurant,"

Although these words were spoken gently, the ruthless intent they carried sent a chill through the spine of the elders.

Before this, Ban Cheng had always appeared to be compliant, but now he was unexpectedly ruthless and resolute.

"No, your shares are among them too, and now it seems that all the shares of Xiangyun Restaurant have been sold. What will you use to control the restaurant?"

Ban Cheng let out a hearty laugh and then took out a business license, throwing it in front of everyone.

"I had long established a sole proprietorship. All of the shares and equity of the restaurant were bought by this enterprise. As of now, I control fifty-one percent of Xiangyun Restaurant's shares."

The veteran members all wore faces of astonishment, staring at Ban Cheng with a strange look.

"What do you mean? Where's the remaining forty-nine percent of the shares?"

"They're with me!" Chen Yu stepped out from behind the big screen, "I had signed an agreement with Boss Ban a long time ago. Now, the two of us have real-time control over Xiangyun Restaurant."

The veterans in the room couldn't help but breathe more rapidly. They had never dreamed Ban Cheng would collude with an outsider to cheat them.

Ban Cheng slowly stood up, his face full of contempt.

"The fixed assets under your names have all been separated from Xiangyun Restaurant. I won't pursue that matter. Given the current situation, I can completely take back the fixed assets in your hands through legal means."

The crowd dared not say anything more; they could only swallow their anger and leave one after another.

Chen Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, moved over a chair, and sat next to Ban Cheng.

"Boss Ban, starting from today we are truly partners. However, I would like to hand over the entire management of Xiangyun Restaurant to you."

Ban Cheng's pupils suddenly dilated; he had thought that Chen Yu, upon acquiring the shares, would progressively encroach on Xiangyun Restaurant. He hadn't expected Chen Yu to be so generous.

"Mr. Chen, are you really willing to hand over the management rights to me?"

Chen Yu nodded.

"Right now, Xiangyun Restaurant is controlled by our personal sole proprietorships. Logically, management rights should be evenly split between us, but there is a regulation that allows us individuals to decide on the actual distribution of equity and shares."

Ban Cheng's breathing immediately quickened; he was, of course, clear about this regulation.

Before this, he had prepared himself to negotiate with Chen Yu, using this very regulation as his basis.

"May I ask how Mr. Chen would like to distribute it?"

Chen Yu directly took out a prepared contract from the side.

"Regarding equity, we'll stick to the sole proprietorship, fifty-fifty. As for the shareholdings, you get sixty-four percent and I take thirty-six percent!"

Ban Cheng's mouth formed an 'O'; this was essentially transferring the lion's share of the profits to him.

He knew that the properties in the building opposite were already under Chen Yu's control. He could totally claim a larger share of the equity based on that building.

"Mr. Chen, did I hear you wrong?"

Chen Yu smiled faintly: "Besides, I will also send a professional management team to spearhead Xiangyun Restaurant. The combination of both our features, with no distinction between primary and secondary, its operational model is entirely up to you to be in charge of."

Ban Cheng swallowed hard: "Do you mean to say that I'll have full control over the building across the street as well?"

Chen Yu pushed the contract forward.

"Boss Ban, you can look at the contract yourself! I've written all the clauses already. If there are no issues, then please sign."

Ban Cheng, unable to contain his excitement, took the contract, glanced over it quickly, and then signed his name before stamping it with his seal.
