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

Chen Yu placed the contract he had previously signed on the table.

"Old Hou, you should organize these files, and as for these new factories, I'm afraid I'll have to entrust their management to you."

Upon hearing this, Hou Jianchang immediately felt overwhelmed.

Although Chen Yu would give Hou Jianchang corresponding shares for every additional factory,

a person's energy is limited, especially at Hou Jianchang's age, when health issues are more or less inevitable.

Managing the food processing zone had already exhausted him, and now having the pharmaceutical factory industrial park added to his responsibilities, even if he was willing, he simply lacked the strength.

"Old Chen, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I've truly reached my limit!"

Seeing Hou Jianchang like this, Chen Yu also felt somewhat embarrassed.

With the help of the system, his business had been developing too quickly, especially the factories, whose growth rate even Chen Yu hadn't anticipated.

If both of these large industrial parks were to be put on Hou Jianchang, it might indeed exhaust him to death.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, as currently, the only reliable and capable person he could find was Hou Jianchang.

Finding someone like that in a short amount of time was truly impossible.

"How about this, Old Hou, we'll keep the financial structure the same as before, and my personal company will still hold the controlling shares of the parent factory."

"However, from today on, you will serve as the chairman of the parent company. As for the structure beneath, you can differentiate it according to the existing model and then recruit managers externally."

Hou Jianchang immediately let out a sigh of relief, his shoulders feeling somewhat lighter regardless.

When setting up the company, he hadn't anticipated the factories would develop so quickly, so he hadn't thought too much about it.

But now, the previous company could no longer satisfy the current scale of the factories.

"Alright, I'll get to it as soon as possible in the next few days!"

Chen Yu nodded, then took out another document from his person and handed it over.

This was the optimal company model for the current scale provided by the system before.

But this was merely the part that suited the factories, while the parts for the department stores and foreign trade exports had indeed been drawn up, they were not yet fully implementable.

After discussing some details with Hou Jianchang, Chen Yu left the place, but as he did, he kept some of the pre-manufactured medicine produced by the pharmaceutical factory.

It was a special medication made specifically for Hou Jianchang's health, which could greatly improve his condition.

Water Moon Villa No. 1.

Jin Lingsu was practicing yoga on the mat wearing form-fitting clothes.

According to her, it was necessary to practice like this for two hours each day, not just to maintain her figure but also to ensure the flexibility of her body.

However, practicing yoga at midnight struck one as somewhat peculiar.

If one observed closely, they would notice that Jin Lingsu did not close her eyes like others did while doing yoga.

Not only were her eyes open, but they were also full of vigilance.

After all, she had fled back from Europe, and there was always the chance that someone could come after her at any time.

Before coming here, she had thought about whether this would cause trouble for Chen Yu, but after careful consideration, she realized that in this world, the only one who could provide her shelter and match her in strength was probably Chen Yu.

Just then, a noise suddenly came from outside the door, and Jin Lingsu instinctively grabbed the spike that was tucked into her waistband.

Seeing Chen Yu come in, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chen, you really are a busy man, coming back so late every day! How come you've brought back a little sister today? What's this, have you started to eat meat outside?"

Chen Yu rolled his eyes, "She's the new secretary I just hired. She has nowhere to go for the moment, so I brought her back home first."

Jin Lingsu didn't say much more. After all, she was an outsider, and even if Chen Yu were to cheat outside, it wouldn't have anything to do with her.

[System Alert, Danger Detected]

The sudden alert tone made Chen Yu's body tremble violently, and he subconsciously crouched down to watch his surroundings warily.

Jin Lingsu also became alert, instinctively flipping up, with two sharp spikes already in her hands.

The two glanced at each other and rushed outside without needing to speak.

They saw a rather sleazy-looking man standing under the nearby wall, his eyes full of shadows.

This guy had a Western face, one could tell right away that he was sent by the Edward Family.

It seemed he was here to assassinate Jin Lingsu, but when he saw Chen Yu, he couldn't help but pause.

"Mr. Chen? Is this your home?"

Chen Yu nodded slightly, "Didn't you do your homework before coming here?"

The man hesitated, "Earlier in Edinburgh, this woman killed several people from our Edward Family. The higher-ups ordered me to bring her head back. I hope Mr. Chen can make it convenient for me."

Chen Yu scoffed, "If I make it convenient for you, then who will make it convenient for me? Miss Jin is my esteemed guest. As long as she is here, I have to ensure her safety for that duration!"

"Even if she leaves this door, I'll seek revenge for her."

The man frowned deeply and slowly stepped back, retreating into the shadows nearby, and then the sound of dialing a phone rang out.

After some inquiring, the man reappeared in front of Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, I believe there must be some misunderstanding. Starting today, the Edward Family's pursuit of Miss Jin is revoked!"

"As for the companies in Miss Jin's name, my Edward Family will take it as compensation."

After dropping these words, the man flipped over the wall and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, aware of the situation in Europe to some extent.

Although the Edward Family was at odds with William's family and the Charlies family, their main strategic goal was to penetrate the Eastern market.

At such a time, they absolutely couldn't afford to offend any enterprise or family in the East, especially a person with as many connections as Chen Yu.

Jin Lingsu also patted her chest.

"If I'd known, I would've asked you to help me negotiate directly, saving me days of worry and fear."

Chen Yu felt helpless. Indeed, whenever this woman appeared, she would bring trouble to him.

"Don't act coy after getting a bargain. The Edward Family just needs the Eastern market, which is why they gave me face. If it were any other time, who knows what the outcome would be."

Jin Lingsu felt somewhat embarrassed, she put away the spikes, closely following behind Chen Yu.

"Worst comes to worst, I'll stay here from today on and be a personal bodyguard for your family as payment for saving my life."

Chen Yu paused in his steps. He did not expect Jin Lingsu to repay him for any favor; as long as she didn't cause him any more trouble, he would be ever so grateful.

Nevertheless, having her stay on as a bodyguard wasn't a bad idea after all.
