The banquet has come to an end, but the atmosphere is still warm as people clink glasses.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yu Bai stood up and said, "Everyone, thank you for your presence today. I have some simple food and wine to offer as a token of my appreciation. I also have some newly prepared little treats here, which I will give to you as a token of my gratitude."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and signaled the waiter beside her.

The waiters immediately understood and respectfully handed a small, elegantly packaged, antique-looking, slender brocade box to the head seat at each table.

"Oh? Yu Bai has something good again?" Dean Qian Ying spoke first with a smile.

"This is……"

An entrepreneur opened the brocade box out of curiosity, and a herbal scent that was even clearer and more refreshing than the previous calming incense filled his nose, instantly making his mind clear.

Yu Bai smiled and said, "This is a wake-up incense stick. Unlike the calming incense sticks used to soothe the mind and aid sleep, this one can clear the mind and brighten the eyes. Lighting it while working or studying can help you concentrate and improve your efficiency."

"Refreshing?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became more lively!

Who doesn’t have a child who is a source of worry?

Especially for those families who are either rich or noble, they attach great importance to their children's education.

"Oh my, this is a great thing!" a lady exclaimed in surprise. "My kid yawns non-stop whenever he has to do his homework. It's like he's dying! This incense stick is just what you need!"

"That's right!" Another wealthy businessman nodded repeatedly, his face full of smiles. "For our children's education, we parents really worry about it! Miss Yu, this fragrance came at a perfect time! What a coincidence!"

For a while, there was a constant stream of thanks and praises.

The previous calming incense had already allowed them to witness Yu Bai's magic, and now this brain-stimulating incense specifically for studying had precisely hit their pain points.

For them, their children’s future is more important than anything else!

These shrewd people naturally understood that the incense Yu Bai gave was not just a fragrance, but also a friendship that came in time of need, a unique favor.

Sure enough, a few days later, the "Yujia Fresh" supermarket under Yu Bai's name opened in a low-key manner. Although it was called low-key, the front of the door was already filled with flower baskets and was filled with guests.

Almost all the guests who received incense sticks at the banquet sent people to deliver generous gifts, and flower baskets were placed from the beginning to the end of the street, making the scene spectacular.

There were also several businessmen with sharp eyes who smelled the huge business opportunity. At the supermarket opening celebration party, they privately found Yu Bai and sincerely expressed their intention to invest.

"Miss Yu, if you can mass-produce this incense stick and provide a stable supply of wild boar meat, the profits will be immeasurable!"

"We are willing to invest and even participate in channel development, just to be able to deeply cooperate with Ms. Yu!"

"Yes, Ms. Yu, we're very interested in both your incense business and this unique wild boar farming. You provide the technology, and we'll take care of everything else. We can negotiate the profit split!"

Faced with these olive branches, Yu Bai still had a decent smile on his face, but he had already made up his mind.

She would not show the recipe of incense sticks or the special breeding of wild boars to outsiders.

Once the core secret is exposed, the tragedy of her previous life may be repeated in another way and at a faster pace.

She knows the risks involved better than anyone else.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu,"

Yu Bai's tone was gentle but firm.

"Thank you both for your kindness. However, both incense production and wild boar breeding are still in their early stages. Many aspects are still being explored, and the technology is far from mature. If we rashly expand production, it will be difficult to guarantee their unique quality."

She paused, and seeing some disappointment on their faces, she added:

"Moreover, the cultivation and production of these two things are both time-consuming and labor-intensive. The current production capacity is very limited and it is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale cooperation."

However, Yu Bai did not say anything final. After all, these personal connections were crucial to her future plans.

She changed the subject, with a hint of just the right amount of apology and outlook:

"I appreciate your kindness. When the time is right and all conditions permit, I will definitely give you priority. I hope you will support me then."

These words were flawless, indicating the position of non-cooperation for the time being while leaving room for future thoughts.

Those businessmen were all smart people, so they naturally heard that Yu Bai was not completely refusing, but the time was not right.

Although they were somewhat disappointed, they also understood that the holder of such a unique resource would inevitably be cautious, which made them more expectant.
