Seeing the puzzled look on Nangong Chen's face and the worried look in Nan Haochen's eyes, Nan Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief.
She had said many times before that she would never ask the Ye family for help again; he had to accomplish everything he was supposed to do through his own efforts.
However, Nan Xiangwan has now realized a problem.
With only tens of thousands of people on Planet Blue, it's unlikely that the situation can be changed at all.
After all, their foundation is not here. Several powerful families are currently eyeing them covetously. The technology and advancements that Water Blue Star brought to this planet are all unexpected to them.
Several families have even secretly colluded to further disrupt their plans.
Nan Xiangwan said, "We must find someone to help us!"
"There are some things we can't interfere with, such as the company that makes the nutritional supplements and the powerful families behind them. These are forces we can't deal with!"
"I used to think that as long as I did my job well, everything would fall into place, but I was too naive."
Hearing Nan Xiangwan's worried words, the two people around him also sighed at the same time. They really needed a backer right now.
It's not about asking them to interfere with subsequent experiments and projects, but simply to have the ability to retaliate when those powerful families are secretly targeting them.
Although Nan Haochen somewhat disagreed, he remained silent.
Nangong Chen actually understood Nan Xiangwan very well, because he knew from his previous conversation with Zhan Siyu that they would eventually have to take this step.
They've persevered for so long, it's not easy. The Ye family needs an opportunity now, so why not cooperate?
They are currently in a favorable position, and if they can cooperate well, it will be a great opportunity for them to rise to the top.
Nangong Chen wanted to offer some words of comfort, but at that moment, Old Master Ye had already walked over.
"Miss Nan, I never expected you to visit my Ye family!" Old Master Ye said with a smile.
After all, Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu were both very stubborn before, but the old man could understand that the couple at least had the determination and ability to do so.
However, Grandpa Ye was not worried at all, because he knew that the current situation could not be reversed by the efforts of just a few people.
He had been waiting for a long time, and Nan Xiangwan persisted for even longer than he had expected.
Both of them were well aware of the purpose of their trip, so there was no need for further pleasantries.
Grandpa Ye said, "I've heard about what happened at the base. It's such a pity. I wonder who's causing trouble behind the scenes. That kind of person is just too despicable!"
"The old general flew into a rage a couple of days ago, and even cleared out several people from the base because of it!"
They talked about it while sighing, and Nan Xiangwan nodded with a smile.
Zhan Siyu will handle this matter, so he only needs to take care of the food street business he's in charge of.
"Mr. Ye, I didn't come here today to say these things!"
"Our food street is about to open. I wonder if you would be interested in investing, sir?"
Nan Xiangwan didn't beat around the bush at all; instead, he went straight to the point. After all, they were all waiting for this result, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
Although Grandpa Ye knew why Nan Xiangwan had come to see him, he was still a little surprised to hear Nan Xiangwan get straight to the point.
"So suddenly? Although I've always wanted to invest in the food street and the seed research program, I remember you guys didn't seem to want others involved in this project?"
“I can actually understand, so I haven’t brought it up much. After all, you are Chaoqun’s friends and the saviors of those two siblings. I have always respected you!”
"But why are you bringing this up so suddenly today? Did something happen?"
Grandpa Ye spoke these words in the tone of an elder caring for a child, so his attitude and sincerity were certainly genuine.
In truth, he was overjoyed. Nan Xiangwan had taken the initiative to talk to him about this matter, and he could roughly guess what had happened. However, on the surface, he still had to pretend to be calm and composed, and instead inquired about Nan Xiangwan's recent safety beforehand.
Nan Xiangwan silently shook his head. Whether Grandpa Ye was genuinely concerned or not, it didn't matter to him.
Some things couldn't be delayed any longer. With only a month left until the food street's scheduled opening date, he certainly couldn't postpone it any longer.
"A lot has indeed happened recently, Mr. Ye. If you are interested in investing in the food street project, you may not necessarily get the results you want!"
Let me be frank from the start: this project was originally progressing quite smoothly, but recently many people have been secretly obstructing it.
So even Nan Xiangwan isn't entirely sure whether the plan will go smoothly.
Grandpa Ye was impressed by Nan Xiangwan's straightforwardness, realizing that the people from Water Blue Star were indeed quite intelligent.
"Miss Nan, I need to go back and discuss this matter first, because it's all too sudden!" said Old Master Ye.
This was within Nan Xiangwan's expectations, since he had only made the decision in the morning and came to see Grandpa Ye immediately in the afternoon.
Although he didn't trust them, the Ye family had never had such an idea. They probably had already made relevant contingency plans and were just waiting for Nan Xiangwan to come looking for them.
However, at least on the surface, they still had to do their job properly, so Nan Xiangwan readily agreed.
"Mr. Ye, how much time do you think you need? The food street will open next month, and we may not have much time to wait!" Nan Xiangwan said.
The preparations for the food street are now 80% complete. The remaining workload is less, but it is all crucial.
If the Ye family really wants to invest, they must make a choice at this time.
Grandpa Ye said with a smile, "Alright, since Miss Nan is so straightforward, then it's decided!"
"I will come to see you in two days with the relevant information. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration then!"
Nan Xiangwan smiled and nodded. The two then discussed some details about the food street, agreed on a future meeting, and then left with Nangong Chen.
At this moment, Nangong Chen and Nan Haochen still couldn't understand why he had accepted the Ye family's investment so easily!
"Sister, now that we've left the Ye family, can you explain yourself to me? Didn't you say before that you would never accept help from the Ye family no matter what? Why have you changed your mind now?"
