Just as these people were struggling with the restrictions on the quantity of goods entering and leaving the warehouse, the news also reached the old general.
The old general, for the first time ever, left the military base today and went to an antique auction house, where he happened to run into Mr. Ye, who was there to deliver a gift.
Ye Chaoqun was very happy to come with the old man in order to help Nan Xiangwan deliver the rose cakes.
"General, what brings you here today? Aren't you always staying at the military base? I thought you didn't have any entertainment options!"
Ye Chaoqun's words made the old general laugh heartily, saying, "I've long heard that the Ye family's girl is a bit arrogant, and seeing her today, it's definitely true!"
Hearing the old general's comments, Grandpa Ye shook his head helplessly.
"Chaoqun, why can't you be a little more restrained? Look, even the old general is saying this about you!" said Grandpa Ye.
Ye Chaoqun felt extremely helpless, never expecting his grandfather to say such a thing.
"What? Grandpa, do you want me to become like those young ladies from noble families, just putting on this fake smile and pretending to be nice to you?"
"If that's the case, I don't mind, but I think that kind of person is no good at all. Does Grandpa really want his granddaughter to become such a hypocrite?"
Ye Chaoqun's words made both the old general and Grandpa Ye laugh.
They both agreed that Ye Chaoqun was indeed an outstanding person, without a doubt.
"Forget it, you're just a smooth talker!"
"Go out and have some fun. Have you forgotten? Your cousin is outside. I need to talk to the old general about something!" said Grandpa Ye.
Ye Chaoqun nodded. He wasn't interested in the conversation between the two old men at all, so he quickly went outside.
Whenever the old general and Grandpa Ye met, the topic they could never avoid was Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan.
The two of them sat down, and in front of them was a tea set that Nan Xiangwan had sent.
"Does Grandpa Ye also enjoy tea ceremony?" the old general asked.
Hearing this question, Grandpa Ye was pleasantly surprised. Could it be that the old general also knew about the tea ceremony?
"Did Zhan Siyu tell you?" the old man said with a smile.
The old general laughed heartily. Zhan Siyu had brought out this culture he discovered at the experimental base, and now many people in the base enjoy drinking tea.
However, Rose Star had absolutely no tea leaves, so the old general had Zhan Siyu send him a large box of tea leaves.
Grandpa Ye was in the same situation. He really liked the tea set that Nan Xiangwan gave him, and afterwards, whether it was discussing serious business or relaxing in the afternoon, he liked to drink a couple of cups of tea.
"The tea ceremony is very interesting, and the taste is also quite good. I didn't know that some of the culture of the Blue Planet is so interesting!" said Grandpa Ye.
They are not the kind of rigid and stubborn people. After all, their positions mean that they must have a broad vision and the ability to accept new ideas.
Therefore, although they found the new culture brought by Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan from Rose Star very shocking, they silently accepted it.
At the same time, from their position, they must be constantly vigilant about the changes this new culture brings to Rose Star, and by taking advantage of these changes, they can rise rapidly.
These two old guys were classmates when they were in military school, so naturally they've gotten back together.
There was originally some conflict between the military base and the Ye family, because the Ye family had its own part of the army, which was used to fight against interstellar monsters, but it still clashed with the military base.
Over the past ten years or so, the relationship between Grandpa Ye and the old general has become much distant.
At most, they would engage in perfunctory exchanges at various banquets, but there were very few instances of discussing or collaborating on future matters.
However, the changes brought about by Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan have made them want to join forces again.
The old general said, "A new culture will bring new challenges. To what extent do you think Zhan Siyu can achieve this?"
"The Nanxiangwan food street project is currently underway, and I have great confidence in it!"
"Grandpa, you wouldn't be trying to stop such a promising project, would you?"
Hearing these words, Old Master Ye was somewhat surprised, not expecting the old general to say such things to him.
He made his position clear from the beginning: he would never stop Nanxiangwan's food street project.
Moreover, he has already obtained certain cooperation rights, so regardless of whether he actually has the operating rights of the food street and food court, he can at least get a portion of the profits.
Compared to other families, the Ye family has already won by a huge margin!
Whether for public or private reasons, Mr. Ye has no right to stop Nanxiangwan's food street project.
So he didn't understand why the old general would say such a thing. Was there some reason behind it?
"General, I have always had great confidence in Miss Nan's project!"
"Besides, Miss Nan only knows my brother and sister Chaoqun. Do you think I would stop their project?"
"General, where did you get this information? Don't slander our Ye family so easily. Although we have done many shameful things, we still know our place in morality and honor!" said Old Master Ye.
Upon hearing what Grandpa Ye said, the old general burst into laughter.
He had actually heard some things about what happened at the warehouse today, which was because someone was restricting the number of goods entering and leaving the warehouse, which led to his speculation.
Old Master Ye is a very cunning man; everyone who knows him knows he's a sly old fox.
Who knows if he'll outwardly comply while inwardly opposing it, agreeing to Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu's project on the one hand, and then secretly sabotaging them on the other?
This not only sabotages the project, but also keeps it a secret from everyone.
The old general had known Mr. Ye for so many years, so he was well aware of his actions.
"That's good. I thought you really wanted to stop the food street project. Then we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food anymore!" the old general said.
Grandpa Ye continued, "Why did the old general say that? Did something happen?"
Although the Ye family is one of the major aristocratic families, when it comes to being well-informed, the military base is definitely the place with the best information.
After all, the old general always had first-hand information, which is why he was able to react at the fastest speed.
Seeing the genuinely puzzled look on Old Master Ye's face, the old general knew that he wouldn't lie about something like this.
"It seems that Old Master Ye really knows nothing about this matter," the old general said.
