Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Five Shining Words: “Our Competitor Is a Fool!”

Lu Qin’s snack stall was the cleanest the inspectors had ever seen in their entire careers.

His personal hygiene habits were impeccable—every detail meticulously handled.

Organized workstation.

Fresh ingredients sorted properly.

Separate areas for raw and cooked food.

Clean, insulated storage boxes.

Disposable gloves for handling food.

Anti-spit face shield.

The lead inspector called over all the other vendors.

“Take notes, people! This is how it’s done!”

Meanwhile, Lu Qin’s loyal customers beamed with pride. They felt like they were part of something great. Usually, when inspectors checked food vendors, they always found problems.

But tonight? Every other vendor on Night Market Street had some issue or another except Lu Qin. Not only was everything perfect, but they gave him a record-breaking 120/100 score!

A rare moment in history!

“It’s Not Just the Hygiene—It’s the Taste!”

One inspector commented, “No wonder so many people line up here! It’s so clean, you can eat with peace of mind.”

A customer chuckled, “Inspector, you got it wrong. People don’t line up here because it’s clean—they line up because it’s delicious!”

“Oh? Is that so?”

At that moment, the tiny boss made her move.

“Uncle, my daddy’s stir-fried rice noodles are the best. Want to try some?”

The inspector looked down and found himself staring at the cutest little girl ever. His heart melted.

“Well, our inspection is done. Guess it’s time for a midnight snack.”

And just like that—a whole squad of food safety inspectors lined up at Lu Qin’s stall.

The other vendors? Sweating bullets.

When had anyone ever seen government inspectors eating at a street stall?

The moment Lu Qin’s wok fired up, the aroma exploded in the air. The inspectors gulped—it smelled insanely good.

As they waited, little Lu Xiyao ran up, holding several cups of iced mung bean soup.

“Uncles, you must be thirsty! Have some mung bean soup—it’s on the house!”

Her round little face, big blinking eyes, and innocent kindness made everyone smile.

What a smart kid!

She was adorable, but also knew how to do business. Even grown-ups couldn’t resist her charm. The inspectors ruffled her hair, laughing.

Of course, they didn’t take it for free—they insisted on paying.

One sip.

Eyes lit up. The natural sweetness, the fine, smooth texture, the refreshing coolness—It was perfection.

One cup and the summer heat was gone.

“This is amazing!”

“How is this mung bean soup so delicious?”

Then, their stir-fried rice noodles were ready. Plates were served, plastic stools were brought over. The inspectors sat down—no need for formalities.

One bite.

BOOM.

The soft yet chewy rice noodles, the fresh vegetables, the tender ham bits—It was an explosion of flavor. The inspectors ate faster and faster. The surrounding customers smirked knowingly. This reaction was normal.

Even a delicate noblewoman would devour Lu Qin’s food like a starving beast. After finishing their noodles, the inspectors bought even more food—Crystal cakes, shrimp dumplings, imperial chicken wings, and even milk tea. They couldn’t stop.

“Boss Lu, your food is too good. We’ll be back for more!”

“Are you here every night?”

“Clean, delicious, and safe—no wonder business is booming! Hope you get even more customers!”

Before leaving, the inspectors patted little Lu Xiyao’s head one last time. Then, they boarded their official vehicle and left.

The lines re-formed at Lu Qin’s stall.

But every other vendor?

Some were shut down for violations.

Some were self-inspecting, scrambling to fix issues.

That night, Night Market Street underwent a major transformation.

Hygiene standards rose.

Expired food was thrown out.

Every vendor checked their health permits.

Why?

Because they heard the inspectors say they’d be back tomorrow for more of Lu Qin’s stir-fried rice noodles. So now, everyone took food safety seriously. Not just for show—but for real.

As for Liu Ji’s fake snack shop?

Closed for good. Liu Ji was taken away by the authorities. He was heavily fined—there was no escape. And to make things worse, the entire incident went viral online.

With video proof, the government had no choice but to severely punish him. This time, public outrage wouldn’t let it slide.

The Biggest Winner?

Lu Qin’s Snack Stall, getting praised by the government meant everything.

It sent a clear message.

“Boss Lu is honest and trustworthy.”

Food safety? Guaranteed.

Quality? Best in the city.

The inspectors themselves became loyal customers.

And that was the best free advertisement ever. Lu Qin’s business was already number one.

Now?

Even more customers. Liu Ji tried to steal his success, but instead, handed it over on a silver platter.

Five Words to Summarize the Situation?

“Our Competitor Is a Fool.”

_____

At 9:30 PM—Sold Out. Tonight’s huge wave of tourists had completely blocked the alley. And just like in the daytime, many people left empty-handed. Some split one plate of noodles between three people—just for a taste which only made them crave more.

“I’m not leaving. I’m coming back tomorrow for more!”

“Me too! If I leave, I won’t be able to eat this again!”

“I take back what I said—this city is a food paradise!”

The tour guide sighed.

“We have other places to go tomorrow. If you skip them, there’s no refund.”

“DON’T CARE.”

_______

“Yao Yao, time to go home. It’s late.”

“Okay~!”

The little girl’s arms were full of snacks and fruit, barely able to carry them all. Lu Qin chuckled, packing them into a bag.

Customers loved the little boss—giving her food had become a daily ritual. Of course, Lu Qin always told them not to go overboard.

But customers insisted.

“Boss Lu, your food is too good. If we can’t tip, at least let us give gifts!”

Lu Qin could only smile helplessly. At least, running the stall was great training for Yao Yao—She learned social skills and had fun doing it.

When they got home, she immediately crashed into bed. Lu Qin cleaned up, showered, and checked his bank balance.

610,000 yuan in less than half a month. That was insane. But it was also exhausting. If not for his system’s fatigue-reduction bonus, his body would have collapsed by now.He glanced at his system points. 4,128 points accumulated. He decided time to roll for rewards.
