Su Yan turned around.

The person who called her was a young man in a suit and tie, but no matter how glamorous he was, he couldn't hide the obvious signs of excessive indulgence and haggardness on his face.

"Who are you?" she asked, puzzled.

Lou Kai squinted at her for a moment before arrogantly speaking, "I am Lou Kai, the manager of Fanghua Restaurant in Lan City. You are the girl Feng Caixia picked up Yunxiang the other day, right? Did you sell her two recipes?"

Hearing this tone, Su Yan couldn't help but laugh, and said sarcastically with a curl of her lips, "Manager Lou, is it? First of all, I have no obligation to answer your questions. Secondly, what I sell or who I sell to is my own business, understand?"

Lou Kai's expression changed; he hadn't expected a village girl to have the audacity to speak to him like that.

However, he was pretty sure that the person who sold the recipes to Feng Caixia was this young girl in front of him. Since she was capable, he couldn't afford to offend her too much.

"My Fanghua Restaurant is sincerely looking to buy the other recipes from Miss Su. I will pay double the price for the others, no matter how much Feng Caixia paid. Miss Su will not lose out at all." He stated his purpose directly.

He acted quickly and was willing to spend money.

Double the price, that's twelve thousand.

Su Yan refused without changing her expression: "I only have two family recipes. First come, first served. Manager Lou is late. You should go find someone else."

After saying that, she turned and left.

“Miss Su, you don’t need to lie to me. I know you sell braised food yourself. How about I buy your braised food recipe for 12,000 yuan? No matter how you look at it, you’re guaranteed to make a profit,” Lou Kai said loudly.

His face was pale, and he didn't believe Su Yan when she said there were no other recipes.

Moreover, her attitude was far from good; Feng Caixia must have said something bad about him.

Su Yan stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around.

Thinking she was interested, Lou Kai pressed his advantage, continuing, "Miss Su, I'm only charging you the recipe for one braised dish. What reason do you have to hesitate? Feng Caixia's way of running a restaurant is outdated. Why don't you sell a few more to Fanghua? That way, those delicious dishes won't go to waste, right?"

Anyone would be tempted by his price, let alone an ignorant village girl.

Lou Kai felt utterly disdainful.

Su Yan curled her lips, her voice laced with laughter but utterly disdainful, "Manager Lou, you should have a conscience whether you're a person or a businessperson. Since I sold the recipe to Feng Caixia, I won't sell it to you. Fanghua, as Yunxiang's mortal enemy, shouldn't be so greedy. Things always turn out the opposite of what they should be. No thanks."

After saying that, she strode away, not stopping no matter what Lou Kai said.

Lou Kai's expression was extremely ugly. Looking at Su Yan's back, he gritted his teeth and said, "You won't listen to reason, so I'll make you drink the penalty cup. I don't believe I can't get it out of your mouth!"

Su Yan had an extremely bad impression of Lou Kai.

If you're asking for a favor, you should have the right attitude.

Lou Kai was going to put on that arrogant and condescending attitude for her? She wasn't going to put up with it.

However, judging from his posture, he doesn't seem inclined to give up easily.

It seems I need to find a time to inform Feng Caixia and ask her to find something for Lou Kai to do, so as not to bother her.

After opening a bank account and depositing the money, Su Yan went to the post office first.

At the entrance of the post office.

Su Yan could see the Su family members standing at the door from afar, with Old Master Su at the head.

Su Zhi, Zhang Yu, Old Lady Su, and Su Changcheng were all behind him, each carrying a straw mat and a quilt.

"I've already said Su Yan's admission notice hasn't arrived yet. If you keep sleeping in front of the post office every night, I'll report you to the police for disrupting the post office's work!" Huo Qianli's angry voice rang out. "Besides, isn't Su Yan a woman? Why doesn't she come to sign for it herself? What's the rush? You're not going to do anything bad with her admission notice, are you?"

These next few questions immediately changed the expressions of the Su family members.

Apart from Old Master Su, the others who couldn't keep their secrets were practically radiating guilt.

"How can you talk like that?" Zhang Yu said disapprovingly. "Su Yan went out to play after finishing her college entrance exam. Before she left, she asked us to sign for her admission notice. Do you think her own grandparents would harm their own granddaughter?"

Huo Qianli sneered and said sarcastically, "Who knows? Anyway, you're not allowed to stand in front of the post office anymore, or I'll call the police right now and charge you with disrupting the work order of a state-owned institution, and have your whole family stay in jail for a few days!"

This is a very serious crime.

Huo Qianli was very confident. Grandpa Su guessed that her family must have connections, and that they were indeed in the wrong for sleeping in front of the post office.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered with a stern face, "Let's stay at the guesthouse for two days."

He went to inquire a few days ago, and the town mayor said that Su Yan's admission notice would arrive at the post office in the next couple of days. Thinking about the changes in Su Yan now, and hearing that she is doing very well in business, the people in Su Family Village are now laughing at their old Su family. Old Master Su was both angry and uneasy, and had to take precautions to prevent Su Yan from taking advantage of the situation.

Once they were out of sight, Su Yan slipped into the post office and teased, "Wow, Miss Huo's fighting power was off the charts just now, she was so cool!"

Huo Qianli wasn't surprised to see her at all. She glared at her and said irritably, "How dare you only come now? Those people have been sleeping in front of my workplace for three nights in a row, eyeing your acceptance letter like hawks."

"I knew there wouldn't be any accidents with you around, right?" Su Yan continued to flatter, "We're good friends, you'll definitely care about my affairs and won't let my grandfather and the others succeed, right?"

"Definitely."

Huo Qianli looked smug, feeling quite pleased with herself for being trusted wholeheartedly.

"But if you come a little earlier these next couple of days, the mail delivery truck usually arrives at the post office around 8:30. I've already asked someone to put your admission notice in a separate package."

Su Yan nodded seriously and replied, "I know. After we finish dealing with this most important matter, I must take you to the Lan City Department Store to buy the latest clothes and lipsticks."

After all, Huo Qianli had even affected her own relationship, so she would remember this kindness.

Huo Qianli snorted and said, "Fine, I won't be polite with you. But your relatives don't seem like good people. Be careful they don't cause you trouble if they don't get their acceptance letters."

“It’s certain they’ll cause me trouble,” Su Yan said calmly. “Of all my relatives, only my grandfather has some ability. He has some connections with the town mayor, otherwise he wouldn’t have found out about my admission to Southern Medical University so quickly.”

Upon hearing the words "town mayor," Huo Qianli's eyes flickered slightly.

After much hesitation, she decided to trust Su Yan and leaned closer to whisper, "I overheard a secret a few days ago."
