"Grand?" Tao Jin didn't take it seriously. "It's not a matter of grand or not. The proper ceremony is still necessary. Besides, having this status will make doing business much easier in the future and will save you a lot of trouble. Don't you want that?"

Su Yan: It's impossible not to be moved.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I'm worried people will say I'm taking advantage of the Tao family."

"You're already the Tao family's adopted daughter, isn't it only right that you take advantage of them? Do you expect me to let others take advantage of me?"

Tao Jin said strangely, "Besides, we're all family. It sounds awful to say we're taking advantage of you. We have readily available resources for you, so just use them without worrying about it. Just listen to me."

Grandma says you're very smart, and I think so too. If one day you rise above me, I hope you won't forget the kindness of the Tao family.

Tao Jin has a long-term vision; he has already foreseen how far she will grow in the future, which is why he is reminding her.

Su Yan naturally understood his meaning, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I am not an ungrateful person, so you can rest assured, brother."

"With your words, I have nothing to worry about." Tao Jin smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Remember to call me before you come to Beijing so I can have someone make arrangements."

"good."

As Su Yan emerged from the phone booth, Feng Caixia immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why did you talk for so long? Is there a problem?"

She could guess that Su Yan's call was either to Tang Li or Tao Jin.

Su Yan smiled happily, "No problem. Tao Jin said that a buyer has been found for the ginseng. I asked the buyer to transfer a deposit of 700,000 yuan to my account. I will have money to buy the restaurant tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Feng Caixia said with a complicated expression, "I really envy your luck."

She hadn't expected finding a restaurant to go so smoothly, both in terms of price and money.

Suddenly, she realized that Su Yan was like a darling of the heavens, able to do everything smoothly and successfully.

Su Yan couldn't deny it, so she put her arm around her shoulder and joked, "I'm the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. All you need to do is cling to me and watch me make you rich."

"Actually, the money you got from selling the ginseng was enough to open your own restaurant. You didn't need to bring me and Tang Li in to share the profits at all..."

“Sister Caixia,” Su Yan interrupted her directly, “You and Uncle Tang have been so devoted to me and my family, it’s gone beyond the scope of friendship. So when there’s good news, of course I have to share it with you. That’s how I’m worthy of our past relationship.”

Feng Caixia couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling both happy and touched. "If we're talking about favors, you've helped me more. Without your recipes, I would have lost my position at Yunxiang long ago."

"Why bring this up? You'll be one of the bosses from now on, so you won't have to worry about these issues anymore."

Although becoming a boss is a good thing, Feng Caixia still couldn't help but worry when she thought of what Uncle Deng had said earlier. "Uncle Deng said that a lot of restaurants around here have closed down. Ayan, are we really not being too impulsive?"

"I believe that no matter where you are, as long as the food is good, you can definitely keep customers. If a store is not doing well, it must be a problem with the food. The environment only accounts for a small part."

These days, money is the easiest to make; just look at the braised food shop she runs.

Business is bad simply because the taste of the food is not commensurate with the price, so customers won't buy it.

Su Yan wasn't worried about this at all. She patted Sister Caixia on the shoulder and said, "You should trust my skills."

Feng Caixia nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Mr. Su is right, I was overthinking it."

Qiu Xiaorou asked, "So, after we finish the transfer tomorrow, will we go back?"

"Of course not. After the transfer of ownership is completed, I still need to find a reliable renovation company. I don't know if the renovation can be finished before I start school."

After you finish one task, there's always another one waiting for you.

“Tang Li and I can’t come to Guangzhou often, so you’ll have to come here more often after school starts,” Feng Caixia said. “Headquarters wants me to be promoted, so I’ll see if I can be transferred to Guangzhou to help you with some of the workload.”

Yunxiang Restaurant also has a branch in Guangzhou, but it's not in Yuexiu District.

Her children are grown up and there are no more problems to worry about, so she has no concerns about being transferred to Guangzhou.

However, Tang Li is different; his wife lives in Lanzhou, so she definitely can't stay in Guangzhou permanently.

Su Yan said, "We'll talk about these things later. Let's go back to the hotel and rest first. It'll be 2 a.m. when we get back."

She was still thinking about Jiang Jingxing, wondering if he had returned to his unit.

...

Upon arriving at the hotel, Su Yan immediately called Jiang Jingxing.

The call was answered almost instantly. Before she could even react, a familiar voice rang out, "This is Jiang Jingxing."

The man's voice was deep and magnetic, tinged with weariness and indifference, yet she felt incredibly at ease, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak.

Having received no response for a long time, the previously nonchalant man's heart skipped a beat, and he asked uncertainly, "Ayan?"

Su Yan pursed her lips and softly replied, "It's me."

Hearing the voice he had longed for day and night, all his weariness vanished instantly. Jiang Jingxing stood up from his chair, flustered, and asked her anxiously, "Are you... are you still angry with me?"

Su Yan sensed his unease and felt guilty. She bit her lip and said, "I'm not angry anymore. I just didn't understand. I shouldn't have been angry with you. I'm sorry, Brother Jiang."

"Brother Jiang?" Jiang Jingxing's tone was very dissatisfied. "You still say you're not angry anymore? Are you just trying to coax me?"

"No, why do you say that?" Su Yan asked, puzzled.

Jiang Jingxing thought she was pretending to be stupid and couldn't help but say angrily, "What should you call me?"

Su Yan?

So you're angry because of a way of addressing me? How pathetic!

"Jingxing, Jingxing, Jingxing!" she shouted three times, puffing out her cheeks in annoyance. "Are you satisfied now? How childish!"

Although there was an element of stubbornness involved, Jiang Jingxing was still coaxed into a smile, his eyes softening to the extreme.

"Ayan, I love you," he said.

The moment those words were spoken, Su Yan felt as if her brain had exploded, and her body temperature gradually rose.

In less than ten seconds, her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

She swallowed hard, feigning composure, and said, "We've only been talking for a short time, and your feelings for me have already turned from liking to love? Commander Jiang, you're not falling in love with every girl you see, are you?"

“No.” Jiang Jingxing’s tone was serious. “I can guarantee you with this military uniform I’m wearing that my feelings for Comrade Su Yan are from the bottom of my heart, unwavering until death, and absolutely genuine. If there is even the slightest falsehood, then let me die on the battlefield!”

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who swore they'd risk their life for this? Don't say things like that again!" Su Yan was both angry and amused.
