It was unclear how the Xia family had discussed things, but after having breakfast, Xia Wan hurriedly headed into the city!

With a mix of nervousness and anticipation, Xia Wan stepped through the wide doors of the food factory with a smile on her face.

Her right hand was tightly gripping the instant noodle seasoning recipe she had meticulously prepared the night before. Those few seemingly thin sheets of paper actually represented the culmination of her tireless research and repeated adjustments to various flavors over the past few days.

It not only includes the popular classic braised beef flavor, but also mouthwatering spicy chicken flavor, savory and rich mushroom stewed chicken flavor, and many other unique flavor combinations and detailed preparation processes.

Xia Wan took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, and then walked straight towards Director Bai's office with steady and powerful steps.

When she arrived at the door, she first raised her hand and gently knocked on the door a few times. After receiving a voice from inside granting permission, she slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside.

As soon as she entered the room, Xia Wan's bright eyes looked directly at Director Bai, who was sitting behind his desk, and she said in a firm and confident tone, "Director Bai, this is the instant noodle seasoning recipe and its corresponding preparation method that I personally developed. Please take a look."

She steadily handed the stack of invaluable papers to Director Bai with both hands.

Director Bai was taken aback at first, then quickly took the document and began to browse through it.

As his gaze moved across the paper, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and a look of surprise spread across his face.

"This...this is wonderful! Xia, you've truly brought a treasure to our factory!" Director Bai excitedly slapped the table, his voice filled with undisguised joy.

With just these few recipes, if their factory actually produces instant noodles in the future, it will definitely bring them a lot of profits!

Seeing Director Bai's reaction, Xia Wan felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Taking advantage of Director Bai's elation, she mustered her courage and said softly, "Director Bai, I'm taking my father to Beijing for leg treatment in a few days. I'm afraid we won't be back for a while, and he won't be able to come to work until at least the end of the year. But I can still provide him with plenty of food every month, what do you think..."

Director Bai seemed to be considering something, and after a long silence, he said, "Xia, you've done such an excellent job, exceeding the target! The factory leaders value you highly, but there are still three months until the New Year. Can you really complete three food formulas?"

Xia Wan nodded seriously and assured him, "Don't worry, Director, I can deliver the food formula to you by tomorrow at the latest!"

The recipes are all in her head; I could write them out quickly, let alone three, or even thirty.

Director Bai pondered for a while before speaking: "Okay, you go back and prepare the formula first. I'll go discuss it with the factory manager now. We should have a result by this afternoon!"

Anyway, we can't let it interfere with the fact that he's taking his father to see a doctor. Besides, Xia Wan isn't an ordinary worker. When he asked if it was possible, he was just discussing the bonus and salary!

Xia Wan nodded apologetically to Director Bai: "Okay, Director, I'm sorry to trouble you! I'll find a quiet place to prepare the prescription!"

After Director Bai nodded in agreement, she left the office, but instead of going to the factory, she turned around and left the food factory.

She rushed to the steel mill without stopping, knowing that she had connections there and might be able to get some useful information.

Upon arriving at the steel plant gate, Xia Wan politely explained her purpose to the gatekeeper, saying she was looking for Tian Hui and providing her name and workplace. The gatekeeper nodded and went inside to fetch him.

Xia Wan stood at the door, frowning in thought, wondering if she could get any useful information from Tian Hui.

Not long after, she saw Tian Hui come out of the factory. To her surprise, Li Chengjun also came out at the same time.

As soon as Tian Hui saw Xia Wan, a smile appeared on his face. Before Xia Wan could speak, he whispered, "Xia Wan, what brings you here today? Did you get something good again?"

Xia Wan's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile. She shook her head gently and said, "Oh dear, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Brother Hui. Actually, I came to see you today because there's something I'd like to ask you about."

Hearing this, Tian Hui couldn't help but feel curious and quickly asked, "Oh? What is it? Just tell me, sister. I'll tell you everything I know without reservation."

At this moment, Xia Wan's gaze unconsciously fell on Li Chengjun, who was standing behind Tian Hui.

Her lips parted slightly, as if she was about to say something but then stopped herself, appearing somewhat hesitant.

All of this was observed by the perceptive Tian Hui, who seemed to immediately grasp the source of Xia Wan's concerns.

So, he patted his chest with a smile and assured her, "Haha, don't be afraid, sister, Brother Jun is one of us! He might even be able to provide you with a lot of useful information and be of great help!"

He had come out specifically because he heard that Xia Wan was coming to see him, so how could he dare to send her back?

After Tian Hui said that, Xia Wan began to ponder it to herself.

Yeah, anyway, Li Chengjun isn't the male protagonist in this novel, so there's really no need for me to keep hiding and concealing myself.

Thinking of this, she asked in a low voice, "I just wanted to ask you about your Deputy Factory Director Guo. I wonder how much Brother Hui knows about him?"

After saying this, Xia Wan felt she had been straightforward enough, so she decided to stop beating around the bush and state her purpose directly.

However, Tian Hui was clearly stunned for a moment after hearing her question.

Then, he frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look, "Hmm? Why did you suddenly start asking about Deputy Factory Director Guo? That guy isn't exactly a good person. What do you want with him?"

That old man always acts like a pedantic scholar, but who in the factory's upper management doesn't know what kind of person he really is?

He was worried that Xia Wan, a young girl, would be deceived by that old man, so he spoke a bit harshly.

When Guo, the deputy factory director, was mentioned, Tian Hui couldn't help but glance at Li Chengjun next to him, his eyes filled with a meaningful look.

Xia Wan naturally noticed the exchange between the two, and now she was certain that they both harbored a hostile attitude towards this Deputy Factory Director Guo, which put her at ease.

"I know he's no good, that's why I wanted to teach him a lesson! To be honest, my dad has a personal grudge against him!"

Xia Wan also sensed the concern in Tian Hui's tone, so she first stated her own position.
