"Spicy strips?" Yu Dahai frowned and hesitated, "The factory used to produce spicy strips, but customers didn't really like them."
Su Yan smiled and shook her head, "Uncle Dahai, no matter what kind of food it is, taste is the eternal truth. If it doesn't sell well, it's either because the taste is bad or the price is bad."
Upon hearing this, Yu Dahai thought for a few seconds and then readily agreed, "Okay, you go and write down the production process and information. I'll take care of things at the factory. It would be best if you could make some samples to try, just like with canned fruit."
Only by gaining the respect and approval of the factory's top management can things proceed smoothly.
"good."
After a brief chat about the taste of spicy strips and soda, Yu Dahai invited her to have dinner at a state-run restaurant.
Su Yan refused and went to Baicaotang after leaving the food factory.
When they arrived at Baicaotang, Tang Li's office door was open.
I could hear conversations coming from inside; the voices sounded somewhat familiar.
She stood quietly at the door with her hands behind her back, glancing inside.
It was Tang Li and Tao Jin, along with a young man dressed in expensive clothes.
The three of them immediately noticed her.
Tang Li couldn't help but laugh when he saw her sneaky behavior. "Speak of the devil, and he appears. It seems you can't talk about people behind their backs."
Tao Jin turned around and said to her, "What a coincidence!"
Su Yan: "I came from the food factory. When did you come from Beijing?"
"I just arrived. I took my friend out for dinner and then came here. What about you? When did you get back? You didn't even bother to call and let me know," Tao Jin said, displeased.
"I arrived in the morning, and went home to catch up on sleep as soon as I got off the bus. But I was woken up after less than two hours of sleep, so I didn't have time to catch up."
Because Grandma Tao recognized her as her granddaughter, the two naturally became much closer and spoke to each other less formally.
"Brother Tao, won't you introduce me?" the young man sitting on the sofa suddenly asked.
Su Yan looked over, and the other person was also sizing her up.
However, the gaze didn't offend her, and she didn't mind.
The man was wearing a custom-made suit and was about 1.9 meters tall. His features weren't particularly handsome, but he had a noble and refined air about him, and a gentle smile on his face that drew people in unconsciously.
Su Yan immediately thought of the phrase "gentle and refined like jade," as if it were tailor-made for him.
Tao Jin walked to her side, put her hand on her shoulder, and introduced her: "This is my grandmother's adopted granddaughter, who is now my sister. Her name is Su Yan. Su Yan is a friend I met abroad, Zhou Yiran."
Zhou Yiran extended his hand to her, "Hello, Miss Su."
"Hello." Su Yan shook hands briefly before letting go.
“Indeed, the ginseng you wanted to buy was dug up by my sister on the mountain.” After saying that, Tao Jin turned to the girl next to her and said, “The final payment has already been transferred to your account.”
Su Yan was a little surprised, "So fast?"
The final payment of over a million yuan is no small sum, yet Zhou Yiran settled it so easily, demonstrating just how wealthy he is.
Zhou Yiran smiled and said, "I trust Brother Tao, so I settled the balance after lunch. I also saw the ginseng, and it's even better than I imagined. I also want to thank Miss Su for relieving my urgent problem."
Hearing this, she smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. You paid for it, and I happened to need the money urgently. It's all fate."
She spoke from the heart, and Zhou Yiran raised an eyebrow in acknowledgment.
Tao Jin glanced at the time. "We came in a hurry this time. Yi Ran and I have to rush back to Beijing later. By the way, have you decided when to go to Beijing? Why don't you come with us?"
They drove here, and the two of them took turns driving, which was exhausting.
However, Zhou Yiran was in a hurry to go back; otherwise, he planned to stay in Anping Town for one night and have a good chat with Su Yan.
Su Yan waved her hand, "I haven't settled things with the restaurant yet, and the food factory is launching new products. It will take at least a few days to process them. I'll contact you again once I've confirmed the time."
Although Tao Jin was displeased upon hearing this, she didn't say anything. "Tao Yue can't reach you. I've already asked my assistant to arrange for someone to come to your house to install a phone later."
"No need, I can pretend..."
"How long will it take for you to finish installing it?" Tao Jin said disdainfully, "We're family, no need to be so polite. You're my sister, it's only right that I treat you well."
Su Yan: "..." This is really worrying.
Seeing her troubled expression, Zhou Yiran said, "Your older brother doesn't lack this money. You can spend it without worry. Money is just an external thing. It's meaningless to earn it but not spend it."
"……good."
Tao Jin gave her a few instructions, and then she and Zhou Yiran left in a hurry.
The door slammed shut.
The office quieted down.
Tang Li handed her a bottle of soda, teasingly saying, "Your cheap brother is pretty good to you. It seems being a child of the Tao family is definitely not a bad deal."
Su Yan took a sip of soda, rested her chin on her hand, and said, "You have no idea how much I'm suffering. The Tao family is spending money on me, and I feel uncomfortable all over."
In general, it's never as reassuring to spend someone else's money as to spend your own.
The Tao family's kindness puts some pressure on her.
She doesn't think she's particularly close to the Tao family just because she's helped take care of Grandma Tao's health.
She couldn't understand what they were after.
Wouldn't it be better to maintain a distant but not overly intimate relationship?
Tang Li laughed, "I never thought you'd have moments of inner turmoil. I always thought you were a carefree person who wouldn't be bothered by worries."
"I'm a human, not a god," Su Yan muttered. "I haven't cultivated to that high a level yet."
"Alright, just accept the Tao family's kindness. Who knows who might help whom in the future?"
Based on his understanding of Su Yan, he knew that the girl was actually quite perceptive. The reason she had such emotions was simply because she hadn't put herself in the shoes of the Tao family's adopted daughter.
"How was the trip to Guangzhou? I noticed Manager Feng's attitude was a bit contradictory," he said.
As soon as Feng Caixia got off the train, she went straight to him for a chat. She seemed to be getting a little anxious about her plans to open a restaurant.
Su Yan recounted her experiences in Guangzhou in detail, and concluded by saying, "Sister Caixia is worried about the business not doing well. There's no point in talking to her about it anymore. The only way to ease her anxiety is to wait until the restaurant opens and the booming business comes in."
Her voice was impassioned, and Tang Li raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you that confident?"
"Of course." Su Yan raised her chin and boasted, "Anything made by Su Yan is guaranteed to be a masterpiece."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your masterpiece to be ready."
Tang Li was very decisive.
From beginning to end, no one questioned her ideas or suggestions.
"Uncle Tang, why do you trust me so much?" Su Yan couldn't help but voice her question.
Tang Li replied directly, "It is your ambition and the results of your work that make me feel at ease with you."
"Leaving the thatched cottage" refers to the braised food shop she opened.
