A clear, melodious voice seemed to descend from the heavens, like a heavenly sound, striking the three dejected hearts like a heavy hammer.

The three of them, who were immersed in endless depression and sorrow, were startled by the sudden sound and their bodies trembled slightly. They subconsciously looked up.

In an instant, their eyes seemed to ignite with two blazing flames, staring intently at Jiang Wanwan.

"My dear niece, you've finally arrived!" Zhang Laifu suddenly stood up from the bench, and in his excitement, his legs slammed against the corner of the table.

But Zhang Laifu seemed oblivious to the pain, running excitedly to Jiang Wanwan's side.

"Miss Wan, we've been waiting for you for so long," the waiter said, wiping the corner of his eye with his sleeve.

Waaah~ If you don't show up soon, I'm really going to go home and eat dirt!

"Niece, my dear niece, you finally arrived before the restaurant closed." Chef Li's voice trembled as he looked at her, his eyes slightly red, and his voice even tinged with a sob.

He slowly stood up from the bench, his rough hands clasped tightly together, his knuckles white from the force.

The three were so excited they didn't know what to do, as if Jiang Wanwan was their lifeline, and that as long as she came, the restaurant's closure problem would be solved.

"Oh, why are you all so excited? Did you miss me too much?" Jiang Wanwan blinked her eyes and said, pretending not to know. "Hehe, my family has been busy with some orders lately, so I haven't had time to come to town to visit you."

Before Zhang Laifu and the other two could answer, Jiang Wanwan continued, "By the way, Uncle Laifu, how did the mosquito coils you ordered last time sell? Are they all sold out?"

"I recently developed a new batch of mosquito coils, and I brought them here for you to try out."

As Jiang Wanwan spoke, she took out three packets of mosquito coils from her crossbody bag. "These are mint flavored. They're incredibly effective at repelling mosquitoes and smell wonderful too. Take them home and try them out, see if you like them."

She spoke so quickly and so rapidly that Zhang Laifu didn't even have a chance to interrupt her.

Zhang Laifu was extremely anxious, but Jiang Wanwan didn't mention the cooperation at all, as if she wasn't the one who proposed the 40/60 split.

He was practically fuming with anxiety, while the person involved leisurely poured himself a cup of tea, grabbed a pastry without ceremony, and nibbled on it in small bites.

The waiter and Chef Li were in a panic, constantly giving Zhang Laifu meaningful glances. Their eyes were practically cramping from blinking so much.

Jiang Wanwan saw all the little things the three of them were doing, a smile flashed in her eyes, and then she continued eating the pastry in her hand with a normal expression.

It seems that the cooperation is almost finalized.

She deliberately arrived two days late, causing the Laifu Restaurant's business to decline day by day. This would make Zhang Laifu anxious and irritable. At this point, she would suddenly appear and easily gain his control.

Sure enough, Zhang Laifu suddenly sat down in front of Jiang Wanwan, his face beaming with a fawning smile. "Niece, these things aren't important. Let's put them aside for now and talk about the cooperation you mentioned last time."

"Hmm? What's up? Is it about mosquito coils? Uncle Laifu, do you want to order more mosquito coils?" Jiang Wanwan looked up at him excitedly.

"Oh dear, it's about Laifu Restaurant! Didn't you say last time that if we cooperated, you could open branches throughout the entire Daqi Kingdom? Even in the capital?"
