Although Old Master Ye's words were rather tactful, he genuinely wanted to cooperate well with Nan Xiangwan and the others. However, due to the Ye family's influence, he couldn't be too explicit in his statements.
Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan were certainly aware of this; Old Master Ye had his own difficulties, and they had no reason to make things difficult for him.
"Actually, it's not a particularly difficult problem. The main issue is the restrictions on the number of goods entering and leaving the warehouse, which will cause problems in the preparation of the food street!" Zhan Siyu said.
Nan Xiangwan then added, "Yes, sir, if the food street operates smoothly, the number of goods coming in and out of the warehouse every day will definitely be no less than five trucks!"
"But the warehouse is now limited to one warehouse per day, allowing only one truck to enter and exit at a time, which is causing problems with the quantity of goods!"
Grandpa Ye was shocked when he heard about the difficulties Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu were talking about.
"Why is there such a rule?" Grandpa Ye asked.
Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu exchanged a glance and shook their heads silently. It seemed that the Ye family was not behind this, and the old man was unaware of it.
"This is indeed a difficult matter for us, but for the old man, it might just be a matter of a word?"
"We don't want to find out who's behind us preventing us from preparing for the food street; we just want it to open smoothly!"
Zhan Siyu didn't ask for much. He knew someone was deliberately targeting them, but what he needed wasn't the truth. Even if they found out the truth, they probably wouldn't be able to handle the enemy.
The eight major families were all eyeing their technology and wisdom, and at this time their enemies came from all directions, so they only sought to protect themselves.
Grandpa Ye let out a breath. He couldn't agree to Zhan Siyu's request directly because he wasn't sure he could handle it.
"I'll send someone to investigate for you!" said Old Master Ye.
Zhan Siyu nodded gratefully. He was very happy as long as Grandpa Ye had such thoughts.
"Then I'll thank the old man on behalf of the people of Xingfu Community!" Zhan Siyu said.
Originally, Grandpa Ye thought that Zhan Siyu wanted to talk to them about the Academy of Sciences. He had recently received some information that, apart from the old general, the other two military bases were opposing Zhan Siyu's research on planting projects.
Given the Ye family's influence, they certainly have the ability to stop this.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhan Siyu hadn't come for this matter, which truly impressed Old Master Ye.
Ye Chaoqun came over to inquire about the situation after finishing all the work in the kitchen because he was worried about Nan Xiangwan.
"Grandpa, you didn't make things difficult for my sister, did you?" Ye Chaoqun asked.
Nangong Chen and Nan Haochen followed behind them, and Situ Mo and the others also came, seemingly to find Zhan Siyu on purpose.
"How can you talk like that, child? Is your grandfather such a cruel person in your eyes? Why would I target Miss Nan?" Old Master Ye asked.
Ye Chaoqun laughed. He had just said that as a joke, mainly to lighten the mood.
As soon as they entered the old man's backyard, they noticed the atmosphere seemed a bit tense, so Ye Chaoqun made a joke.
"Don't make jokes like that so casually!" Old Master Ye scolded.
Nan Haochen said, "Dinner will be served in two hours. How about we rest in this garden for a while? I hope the old man won't mind?"
Nan Xiangwan frowned slightly. This guy Nan Haochen was really fearless. How could he be so disrespectful to his elders in front of Grandpa Ye?
However, Grandpa Ye was quite happy. Zhan Siyu was still a bit too experienced in front of them, but in fact, Grandpa Ye preferred younger generations like Ye Chaoqun and Nan Haochen, who at least had a bit of a childlike spirit.
"Haochen, how dare you speak like that? How can you be so disrespectful to Old Master Ye?" Nan Xiangwan said.
Hearing his older sister say that, Nan Haochen felt a little wronged.
"What's wrong with me? Sis, the old man already said that we should treat him like family and that I don't need to be polite. If we keep putting on airs, it will only make him feel uncomfortable, okay?"
Nan Haochen feigned innocence, simply wanting to get closer to Old Master Ye.
Everyone around laughed. Nan Haochen was indeed a bit disrespectful, but he did manage to make everyone laugh.
Nan Xiangwan was helpless; this kid really deserved a beating.
“Miss Nan, I think your brother is right. You don’t need to be so polite. First of all, you are my grandson’s saviors, and now we have a business relationship. There’s really no need to be so formal!” said Old Master Ye.
Since the host had said so, Nan Xiangwan really had nothing to refute.
"Grandpa, don't spoil him like this!" Zhan Siyu said helplessly.
Grandpa Ye's smile widened, but since the main elders of the Ye family had all arrived, Grandpa Ye had to go over to greet them.
"Alright, you younger folks can relax here for a bit. Not everyone's here yet. We'll have to trouble you in two more hours!"
"By the way, if you all have time, you can go and take a look at the garden in the back. Those potted plants that Nangong gave me before, I don't know how to take care of them, and the leaves are starting to dry out and turn yellow. It's such a pity!"
"If anyone has a moment, could you help this old man take a look and see what's wrong?"
Grandpa Ye did indeed have something he needed Zhan Siyu and the others to do. Before, Nangong Chen would send Grandpa Ye two potted plants every week, which the old man loved very much.
However, he didn't know how to take care of these potted plants, so the leaves of the potted plants started to dry out and turn yellow.
Grandpa Ye consulted a lot of information, but still didn't know how to care for the potted plants.
Today, Zhan Siyu and his family came to the Ye family's banquet as guests, so the old man simply asked them to help with this favor.
"The potted plant is drying out and turning yellow? That's probably because the soil isn't getting enough nutrients, right?" Nangong Chen said.
This is actually not a big deal, but people on Rose Star don't have the habit of keeping potted plants at home, so they don't know how to take care of them, which is why they made such a fool of themselves.
“No problem, sir, leave this to us. We will do our best to save those potted plants!” Zhan Siyu said.
Seeing Zhan Siyu agree so readily, Old Master Ye smiled and then followed the butler to the main hall.
Afterwards, Nan Xiangwan led Nan Haochen, Situ Mo, and the others to the garden to see what was wrong with the potted plants.
