Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 110
Chapter 110 Lu Qin Was Undeniably Impressive, Achieving Financial Success at Such a Young Age!
Shen Muyan found Lu Qin’s joke about earning enough in three months to buy a Bentley entirely reasonable. Based on his current sales, the income from his food stall in that timeframe could indeed make it possible.
She had personally queued to buy his stir-fried noodles and witnessed how overwhelmingly popular his food stall was. Unlike ordinary vendors who might see customers trickling in every ten minutes, Lu Qin’s stall had a continuous stream of eager patrons, with the real concern being running out of stock rather than a lack of customers.
In fact, Lu Qin’s current income had already surpassed her own as the CEO of a corporation managing eight five-star hotels—excluding her stock dividends.

Shen Muyan brought up the matter of Ouyang Lin.
“What do you think about Ouyang Lin’s request?”
Ouyang Lin had promised an investment but hadn’t yet delivered. Shen Muyan knew this delay wasn’t due to unwillingness but was a tactic to pressure her into persuading Lu Qin to prepare the liver paste soup for his father’s birthday banquet.
However, her persuasion wasn’t motivated by the investment, as the contract between their hotel group and Shengyang Corporation ensured the funds would eventually arrive. Instead, she saw it as a significant opportunity for Lu Qin. Shengyang Corporation was one of Haishi’s top financial groups, and preparing the soup at the banquet would be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for any chef.
Not only would it enhance Lu Qin’s reputation, but Ouyang Lin would undoubtedly offer a generous red envelope in return. If she knew how to make the soup, Shen Muyan admitted she’d take on the task herself without hesitation.
After some thought, Lu Qin responded.
“If it’s next weekend, I can make a trip to Haishi. It’ll be a good chance to take the little one on a trip.”
Shen Muyan was delighted.
“Great, I’ll arrange for a car to pick you up.”
“You’re coming too?”
“Of course! I’m the contact person. Do you know how to find Shengyang Corporation or Ouyang Lin in Haishi?”
“Good point. I’ll wait for your call, then.”
“Alright.”
The conversation ended, leaving Shen Muyan in a good mood as she stretched and prepared for a night of beauty sleep.

Meanwhile, Lu Qin, after his shower, checked his system points. He had earned 600 points from selling 600 servings of food that day, bringing his total to 624. Not in the mood to use his points just yet, he decided to save them for later.
Lu Qin had already mastered many full-level culinary techniques. However, offering five or six types of dishes per day was sufficient for the stall. Expanding the menu would complicate the process, requiring more effort and diverse ingredients.
In the future, as he mastered more techniques, he considered rotating dishes daily—for example, selling iced jelly on Mondays and crystal shrimp dumplings on Tuesdays. For now, though, it was premature to implement such changes.

At 4:30 AM the next day, Lu Qin woke up refreshed. After checking on his sleeping daughter, who was cuddling her carrot-shaped pillow and humming softly in her dreams (likely enjoying imaginary food), he smiled and shook his head before heading out to buy ingredients.
Driving his car instead of his old three-wheeler made the task much more convenient. The vehicle’s spacious trunk easily accommodated his purchases.
When neighbors saw his new car, they couldn’t help but admire it.
“Lu Qin, you got a car? I didn’t realize food stalls were so profitable!”
“It’s not something just anyone can do. Old Liu from Block 16 has been selling skewers for seven years and only saved enough to buy his son a Volkswagen. Lu Qin achieved this in no time!”
“True. His cooking is incredible, and the customers just keep coming. If he doesn’t make money, who does?”
Some added snarky comments about those who had underestimated him.
“Remember Old He’s daughter? She looked down on Lu Qin because he ran a food stall. Bet she’s regretting it now!”
When someone remarked on the car’s price, others chimed in, guessing it cost around 350,000 yuan. While they didn’t believe Lu Qin earned that in just a few days, they agreed he must be making tens of thousands monthly.

As Lu Qin chatted briefly with the neighbors, a woman handed him a box of pineapples for his daughter. Although he initially refused, her insistence made him accept with a promise to add extra toppings to her stir-fried noodles.
The car’s sleek features, like an automatic handle release and illuminated footboard, impressed onlookers, leading to more astonished murmurs.

Nearby, Old He’s wife, Zeng Guiping, who had previously dismissed Lu Qin, spotted the car and inquired about its owner. Upon learning it was Lu Qin’s, her shock was palpable.
One neighbor gleefully showed her a TikTok video of Lu Qin’s bustling food stall, packed with customers, while other vendors’ stalls were nearly empty. Another noted he could earn several thousand yuan in just one day.
Zeng Guiping, realizing her earlier disdain had been misplaced, hurried off in a fluster.
