Su Yan felt a little guilty upon hearing this. "Uncle Dahai, I'm really sorry. I'm not a qualified partner."
She was starting to feel uneasy about receiving 40% of the profits just for providing the formula.
Seeing her like this, Yu Dahai couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know you're busy, so I'm very satisfied with just providing the formula and some technical guidance. Everyone in the factory understands you, so don't worry, don't overthink it."
"Thank you," Su Yan said. "I'm going to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and I probably won't be back until after the winter break, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with at the factory."
"The new products are currently in normal production, and there should be no problems if nothing unexpected happens."
After Yu Dahai finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and cautiously asked, "If you go to the school, are you still willing to come up with new product formulas? I can go to Guangzhou to talk to you, and we can come back after we've reached an agreement."
He was nervous when he asked the question, afraid that Su Yan would find it troublesome and refuse.
However, without the formula produced by Jiangsu Tobacco, it would be really difficult for the factory to continue operating.
Su Yan smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing. There's no need to come to Guangzhou to find me. We can contact each other by phone. I'll send you the formula back by telegram. If you don't understand anything, just call me."
The food factory wasn't too busy, mainly because Yu Dahai was there, which made her feel at ease, as she didn't have to personally oversee things.
Yu Dahai's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "That's great! Don't worry, I won't bother you unless it's necessary."
"Uncle Dahai, we're business partners. I'm paid by the factory, so you don't need to worry about bothering me. You can contact me anytime you want, and I won't be upset," Su Yan said helplessly.
Yu Dahai's attitude would make her uneasy.
"Okay, okay! I understand." Yu Dahai readily agreed, though it was unclear whether he actually listened.
"You're leaving soon, and I haven't treated you to a meal yet. You can't refuse me today, can you?"
Yu Dahai looked at her with an expression that said, "If you refuse again, I'll really be unhappy."
Su Yan said, "Okay, let's go. It's a state-run restaurant. I'll treat you next time I come back."
She's been busy for so long and is a little tired.
Yu Dahai was delighted and immediately put down what he was doing to go to the state-run restaurant together.
It was already 1:30 pm when we finished lunch.
Yu Dahai was called back to the factory by his assistant when it was a little late.
He ordered seven or eight dishes, but Su Yan tried for half an hour to eat more than she could, so she simply packed up the three meat dishes that she hadn't touched.
On my way home, my cell phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the number; it was an unfamiliar number, but it was from Guangzhou.
She answered and held it to her ear, "Hello?"
Tang Li's voice came through, "Ayan, it's me."
"Uncle Tang?" She stopped and sat down on a bench under a nearby tree. "How are you doing in Guangzhou?"
Tang Li has been in Guangzhou for a few days, but hasn't called back yet.
With a new official in office, he is likely to be very busy, so she and Feng Caixia did not take the initiative to contact him, and they did not know Tang Li's contact information in Guangzhou.
"Everything works perfectly and everything is settled. I was too busy the past few days, so I called you as soon as I had a little free time today." Tang Li's tone revealed a hint of fatigue. "As for the restaurant, I need to finish up my current tasks before I can go and take a look. It will probably take another three or four days."
"Oh, there's no rush at the restaurant. You can take your time with your work. Boss Zhu will call me if anything comes up."
So far, Zhu Gongcheng has contacted her less than three times, and she hasn't asked about the progress. Anyway, she's not in a hurry; slow and steady wins the race.
"By the way, how is Ms. Fang doing?" she asked casually.
Speaking of this, Tang Li's voice softened a bit, "Ya Jun's condition has stabilized after taking your medicinal diet. She's already in the hospital. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her alone at home. Thank you, Ayan."
Su Yan said, "You're welcome, Uncle Tang. I just happen to know a bit about medicinal diets for preventing miscarriage; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help much."
If Fang Yajun's pregnancy is truly unstable, there's nothing she can do.
After all, she was only an expert in medicinal cuisine, not in medicine.
"Regardless, thank you." Tang Li then asked, "When are you coming to Guangzhou?"
Su Yan thought for a moment, "My school starts on the 1st, which should be the last few days of August. I will go early."
Tang Li calculated the time and then said, "Then let's go to the restaurant together when you get to Guangzhou."
Su Yan responded and then asked a few more questions about Tang Li's situation before hanging up.
She stuffed the mobile phone back into her pocket and was about to leave with it.
Suddenly, a strong smell of blood filled the air.
Su Yan paused in her steps.
Her sense of smell was very keen, and she immediately discerned the direction of the bloody smell.
She looked back, her brow furrowing slightly.
There were few people around, and the place was quite remote. The smell of blood was coming from the alleyway across the street.
Su Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally walked into the alley.
She wasn't entirely without vigilance; she stopped at the entrance of the alley.
The alley was very short, so she could see everything inside from the intersection.
At this moment, at the end of the alley, a man in a white custom-made suit leaned against a corner, his head down, blood gushing from some unknown part of his body, and a pool of blood that had not yet congealed on the ground.
Su Yan held her breath and observed carefully before realizing that the man's body was still fluctuating, albeit very slightly.
"Hey, are you still awake?" she asked warily. "Should I take you to the hospital?"
Although she wanted to pretend she didn't see it, she couldn't get over her conscience if she saw someone in distress and didn't help.
After a long while, the man finally made a move.
He slowly raised his head, revealing his blood-stained face. His vision was already somewhat blurred, but he could vaguely make out a pretty figure. He struggled to speak, "No, don't take me to the hospital. Just treat my injuries casually. I won't die..."
"thump--!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground.
Su Yan: "..." Is it too late for me to leave now?
She took a deep breath, cursed under her breath, and turned to run wildly towards home.
Five minutes later, she rushed into the yard, grabbed a basket and stuffed all the herbs that could stop bleeding that were drying in the yard into it, then ran back into the house to prepare some supplies.
Su Yu returned home just after running away from home, and the two siblings bumped into each other at the door.
"Ouch!" Su Yan cried out in pain, clutching her head. "Brother, are you made of steel? How can you be so hard?!"
Seeing her sweating profusely and carrying a basket, Su Yu refrained from scolding her and asked, puzzled, "Ayan, are you going up the mountain again?"
