On the way back, Sonoko talked non-stop about her plans to open a shop.

From the extravagant recipe of "using Hokkaido milk to make the dough" to "adding gold leaf to the dumpling filling," to the interior design style of "every branch must have a glowing sign," and finally to the grand blueprint of "conquering the entire Japanese dumpling market within three years."

"I want to open 'Nanyuan Creative Dumplings' all over Japan!"

She waved her little fist and announced.

"How about..." Yu Shengnan kindly suggested, "We should focus on running the first store well first?"

"Don't worry, don't worry~ We have everyone here!" Sonoko said matter-of-factly, "It's not like I'm the only one investing, my sister and Ran are also contributing."

She counted on her fingers, "My older sister is in charge of operations, Ran's mom is in charge of legal affairs, and Ai is in charge of finance..."

Yuzuru asked curiously, "Then what are you doing?"

"I'm in charge of coming up with the most outrageous ideas!" Sonoko proudly puffed out her chest. "Like chocolate dumplings, strawberry cream dumplings, and even wasabi ice cream dumplings!"

Seeing Yuzuru's increasingly contorted expression, Sonoko pouted and asked, "What, Yuzuru, do you have a problem with that?"

Yuzuru Hanyu raised his hands in surrender: "No, inspiration is priceless."

It just means that the customer's life might not be worth much...

Indeed, with such a high-caliber team, they could make money even selling stones.

With the former and current chairmen of the Suzuki Group in charge of management, an undefeated queen as a lawyer, and even the CFO being the genius young scientist Shiho Miyano, it's practically a dream team in the business world.

...

...

On a weekend morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a golden line across the bed.

Yuzuru opened his eyes, but surprisingly, he didn't feel the urge to get up immediately. The reason was simple—the "body pillow" in his arms was just too comfortable.

The tea-haired beauty, who had somehow reverted to her Shiho Miyano form, nestled in his arms. The thin blanket slipped down to her waist, revealing the graceful curve of her back, which shimmered like pearls in the morning light.

"Good morning, my doctor." He gently kissed the top of her head.

Shiho, still half-asleep, nuzzled against his chest, murmuring in a dreamlike voice, "Experimental data... collect it again..."

Yuzuru chuckled and was about to respond when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Akemi stood in the doorway with two glasses of milk, blinking when she saw the scene on the bed: "Did I... come at the wrong time?"

"No, you've come at just the right time."

Yuzuru Nan reached out and beckoned, and the little maid gasped as she flew through the doorway. He took a glass of milk and grinned mischievously, "Is this imported milk? Your young master won't be used to it if it's not imported~"

Akemi was taken aback at first, then understood the implication in his words. She glanced at her sister, who was pretending to be asleep, and hesitated, "This... isn't that a bad idea..."

"What's wrong?"

"Shiho is still here..."

"Isn't this even better?"

"Hmm...that makes sense!"

The maid thought about it and realized it made sense.

She nodded and was about to take the cup to feed Yuzuru a glass of imported milk.

Shiho, who had been keeping her eyes closed, couldn't take it anymore and grabbed a pillow, throwing it at the two of them: "That's enough!"

He's using her as a tool for flirting!

"Can't you guys be serious this early in the morning?"

"I'm being very serious," Yuzuru said innocently. "Imported milk refers to fresh milk air-freighted from New Zealand, what are you thinking?"

Akemi blinked her innocent big eyes: "Yeah, we were just talking about the pasteurized milk that arrived this morning. Shiho, your thoughts are so dirty~"

"Hehehe..."

The tea-haired girl's cold laugh caused the room temperature to drop by three degrees.

Once these two collude, she has no choice but to bury herself in the blankets like an ostrich.

The three of them got up and went downstairs while joking around.

After breakfast, Yuzuru played Contra with Ai and Yingying online using a universal game card at home. Without Sonoko as a terrible teammate, the two of them and Eevee had an exceptionally smooth journey through the game.

It was almost noon when he finally put down the controller and stood up from the sofa.

"Yuanzi is going to check out some restaurants at noon, are you guys coming?"

"No, you go by yourself."

Xiao Ai didn't even look up, continuing to curl up on the sofa and operate the controller.

Essentially, she's still that homebody.

If it weren't for Akemi, the older sister, worrying about her younger sister's mental and physical health, Ai would still be spending all her free time in the lab.

"what ever."

Yu Sheng Nan didn't press the issue. He stretched and casually asked, "By the way, Yuanzi's 'Nanyuan Creative Dumplings' shop is about to open. Are you, the CFO, ready?"

The little girl raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Chocolate dumplings? Seriously?"

She initially thought it was just a passing fad from the young lady, since she hadn't needed her help these past few days. But then she was suddenly told that the business was about to open.

"Don't you understand Sonoko's thought process?" Yuzuru shook his head with a smile. "But with the Suzuki Group as a backer, plus Ayako's management and Ran's mother's legal support, and our genius doctor's financial supervision, it would be difficult for her to fail."

"You seem to have a high opinion of this project."

"Of course, after all, this is Miss Sonoko's first entrepreneurial project, and who knows, the chocolate dumplings might actually become a hit?"

Ai imagined the scene and couldn't help but shudder: "That scene is too beautiful for me to look at."

Chocolate dumplings—only a genius like Yuanzi could come up with that idea.

An ordinary person like her could never come up with such a brilliant idea even in a lifetime.

...

...

10:00 AM, Mihana Central Park.

"So, the admission ticket to this museum is only 500 yuan, and all the cakes from Etley and Jules in the night cake shop are half price."

Miss Sonoko walked ahead excitedly, leading the way for the two.

"If you let this golden opportunity slip away, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Wait a minute, Sonoko, is the cake going to grow legs and run away?"

Xiao Lan jogged after her.

Despite her physique from years of karate practice, she still couldn't keep up with her best friend's pace.

Yuzuru was thinking about something.

"500 yuan for admission, half-price cake, you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you miss this opportunity"—is it really appropriate for the second daughter of the Suzuki Group to say such things? Shouldn't that be Ran's line?

"500 yen! Half price! Nan, Ran, do you know what this means?"

Sonoko turned around, gesturing exaggeratedly with her hands in the air, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Today, she was wearing a light purple short-sleeved top and blue shorts, with a small leather bag slung over her shoulder, giving off a fresh and lively vibe, making her completely unrecognizable as the second daughter of the Suzuki Group.

Xiaolan tilted her head: "Does that mean...it's a good deal?"
