Of course, Grandpa Ye wanted to cooperate with Zhan Siyu. He and the old general actually shared the same idea: Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan's talents were beyond doubt, and they would definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future.

The old general wasn't simply after money; what he needed was the ability to consolidate his position.

Zhan Siyu possessed such abilities, which is why the old general wanted to help them.

"So how should we handle this warehouse matter?" the old general asked.

Grandpa Ye let out a sigh of relief; there was nothing they could do right now.

"Of course, we'll wait for Nan Xiangwan to come looking for us. We'll pretend we know nothing. I have to thank the old general for telling me this news. Otherwise, I might not have received the news for a month, and then it would have been too late!" said Old Master Lin.

The old general smiled after being flattered like that.

"Come on, your news is only half a day behind mine, but it doesn't matter, everyone will find out the truth in the end anyway!"

"That's it then, I don't have time to stay here forever!"

The old general stood up, and Old Master Lin naturally stood up to see him off as well.

By this time, Ye Chaoqun had already greeted his cousins, so he came over to find Grandpa Lin.

"General, are you leaving so soon? I was thinking of having you stay for lunch!" Ye Chaoqun said.

Upon hearing this, the old general burst into laughter. After all, the custom of eating was a cultural practice on the planet Water Blue, while they would at most take a nutritional supplement in the morning and then not feel hungry all day.

"It seems that Chaoqun has been hanging out with those people from Aquamarine for a long time. Now he feels like he's half Aquamarine himself!" the old general said.

Ye Chaoqun only then noticed his own changes, but he was also happy about them.

"I don't know if this is a compliment or an insult, but I don't think there's anything wrong with this custom. Besides, being able to taste delicious food three times a day makes life complete!" Ye Chaoqun said.

Grandpa Ye shook his head silently. Although he admitted that the food on Blue Star was indeed delicious, he mostly used it as a commercial resource for development.

Ye Chaoqun and her brother are taking this too seriously. If they continue like this, they might be taken advantage of.

However, these may be obstacles they are destined to face, and no amount of persuasion will help.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. The old general is very busy and needs to go back to the military base to make arrangements. Don't cause him any trouble!" said Grandpa Ye.

Ye Chaoqun nodded quickly. Since the old man had said so, what could he possibly argue against?

“Okay, it’s a bit of a pity, but my cousin will be having lunch at Xingfu Community this afternoon and will also be fixing up the remaining incubators. I’ll have him bring you some food back then!” Ye Chaoqun said.

The old general quite liked Ye Chaoqun's personality, so he nodded in agreement.

"Then thank you in advance. I really want to eat these delicacies too. Could I have one of these gift boxes? I heard a lot of positive reviews about the rose petal cakes yesterday!"

"What kind of delicious food could possibly convince Old Master Ye to give it as a gift? To be honest, he's quite capable!" the old general said.

Ye Chaoqun was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a gift box.

The gift box contained six rose petal cakes, the same rose petal cakes that Nan Xiangwan had given them that night.

“How could I forget… Grandpa, why didn’t you remind me?” Ye Chaoqun said.

They came today to give gifts, some rose petal cakes to their cousin and extended family, but after seeing the old general, they completely forgot about it.

"If I didn't remind you, wouldn't you know what etiquette is?" Old Master Ye asked.

Ye Chaoqun slapped his forehead; he realized that he was indeed rather muddle-headed in this matter.

So he quickly took out a gift box and handed it to the old general.

"I'm so sorry, General, your name was on our gift-giving list. One of these gifts was already reserved for you, so I thought we had already sent them!"

"It's all my fault, I'm so sorry!" Ye Chaoqun said with a forced smile.

The old general nodded silently. He didn't blame Ye Chaoqun for this, since they wouldn't normally have such thoughts.

After receiving the gift box, the old general left as he had wished.

Ye Chaoqun was curious about what the two of them had talked about, so he went over and started playing with Old Master Ye's arm.

"Grandpa, were you talking to the old general about Sister Nan just now? Is it related to the food street?"

"If there's any news from Sister Nan, Grandpa, you must tell me! I really consider them good friends, and they don't treat me like an outsider!" Ye Chaoqun said.

Old Master Ye was well aware of Ye Chaoqun's thoughts, but he certainly couldn't casually reveal these matters concerning trade secrets.

"Don't overthink it, girl. I was just catching up with the old general!" said Grandpa Ye.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Ye family arrived to pick them up, so Ye Chaoqun could not continue the conversation.

At the same time, Nan Xiangwan also arrived at the warehouse. The ingredients here were well preserved, and the temperature control system here was excellent.

"Only such a large temperature control system can keep all our ingredients fresh. But if we transport the goods back in advance, we won't be able to preserve them even if we use all the temperature control boxes!" Nangong Chen said.

Nan Haochen also breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting things to be so much more difficult than they had imagined.

Ouyang Qian also felt very discouraged. She had just solved one problem when another one came knocking on her door. It was really frustrating.

"Sister, what should we do? If we bring the ingredients back to Happiness Community in advance, they will definitely spoil. But if we don't bring the ingredients back, we won't make it to the food festival at all!"

"Those people behind this are truly despicable and shameless. They not only restrict the quantity of ingredients, but also limit entry and exit to only once a day!"

Ouyang Qian was furious. She had no idea why the people behind this were targeting them.

Although Nan Xiangwan was in a bad mood, he kept his anger in check because he knew that getting angry would not solve anything at this point, and he had to calm down and think of a solution.

"Qianqian, getting angry won't solve anything. We need to think of a solution!" Nan Xiangwan comforted her.

Ouyang Qian knew, of course, that getting angry wouldn't solve anything, but what other good solutions did they have at this point?
