After Jiang Jing left, Li Juan couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Jiang is a good young man, but I don't know what Ayan is thinking."
After looking at it from all angles, she still felt that Jiang Jingxing and her daughter were a perfect match.
Her daughter is so smart and capable that she no longer has the same thoughts as before about whether Su Yan is worthy of her.
Guo Ziming said with a hint of jealousy, "Aunt Juan, there are more than just Jiang Jingxing as an outstanding man in this world. Junior Sister deserves someone better."
He had completely given up on the idea of being with Su Yan, but seeing others thinking about Su Yan still made him feel a little unhappy.
Li Juan laughed and said, "I just find Xiao Jiang pleasing to the eye, that's all."
"Don't say things like that in front of Ayan. She has her own ideas, so let her be," Grandma Li reminded her.
Given Li Juan's personality, if she isn't reminded, she might start nagging in front of Su Yan again at any time.
Li Juan said awkwardly, "I understand, Mother."
Grandma Tao, Tao Yue, Tao Jin, and He Jinnian were all coming over that evening. Li Juan said a few words and then went to the kitchen to prepare the food.
Guo Ziming stayed for a while and then went to the military hospital.
After so much effort from him and Ye Feixu, Zhong Jinghe's condition has begun to improve, and the newly developed drug is very effective. This research project can be considered a complete success.
Ye Feixu was originally scheduled to return to the International Research Institute after submitting his report last August, but a thorny disease emerged. The director of the Beijing Research Institute pleaded with him to stay and continue his research, promising that once the research on this disease was completed, they would no longer prevent him from leaving.
Ye Feixu had never encountered this kind of tricky condition before, but he was quite interested and agreed to take on the task. He usually shuttled between the military hospital and the Beijing Research Institute.
Master Jue also returned last September. The important figure they had been in seclusion for treatment eventually succumbed to his illness and passed away.
He had been overworked during that period and his body was somewhat depleted, so after returning, he basically stayed in the courtyard house and relied on the medicinal diet that Su Yan had customized for him to nourish his body. Now his body is a little stronger.
...
Su Yan hadn't slept for more than eight hours in a long time.
After taking a shower and lying in bed, I closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.
I was woken up by Li Juan at 10:30 a.m. until almost 7 p.m. when it was time for dinner.
The Tao family and He Jinnian were all present at the dinner table, and Guo Ziming and Ye Feixu also came from the military hospital.
Su Yan called out to everyone before sitting down next to Li Juan.
She glanced around a few times, but when she didn't see that figure, she gave up and started eating seriously.
Guo Ziming noticed all these subtle actions, but still told her sourly, "Jiang Jingxing has to attend a meeting, but he'll be here after the meeting."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at Su Yan.
Su Yan's face instantly turned bright red, and she retorted while biting her chopsticks, "When did I ask him?"
Guo Ziming mimicked her pout, "You didn't ask with your mouth, but you did with your eyes."
Su Yan wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and bury him right there, and shouted in shame and indignation, "Guo Ziming, why is your mouth getting more and more condescending?"
"Hey, you've got some nerve, girl! You're not even calling me 'senior brother' anymore!"
"You're the one who had to be so talkative, so I won't yell!"
"You dare!"
"Do you think I dare?"
...
The two elementary school kids' bickering amused everyone, creating a lively atmosphere.
Ye Feixu glanced at the two who seemed about to start a fight, then calmly continued eating.
After dinner, the elders sat in the living room by the fire, chatting and watching TV.
The young people were chatting and warming themselves by the fire in the courtyard.
At this moment, He Jinnian, Tao Jin, and Tao Yue were talking to Su Yan about work.
Guo Ziming and Ye Feixu listened from the side.
He Jinnian was the first to speak: "Second sister, it's been so long, and there still aren't any stocks that can skyrocket in value?"
Ever since he made a fortune buying stocks last time, he had been wanting to ask Su Yan for information, but knowing that Su Yan was very busy, he ultimately didn't have the heart to ask.
Su Yan said helplessly, "Brother He, greed always leads to loss. How can such a good thing as a free lunch happen often?"
Upon hearing this, He Jinnian had no choice but to give up.
He'd better just listen to Su Yan, otherwise the money he's earned might somehow slip away from his hands.
Business people are more or less superstitious.
It's impossible for a person to be without desires, but one must learn to restrain desires and greed.
“Alright, let’s talk about something else.” He Jinnian handed the documents he brought to Su Yan. “This is the total revenue and net profit of the medicinal cuisine factory from its opening to now, as well as our dividends. The money should already be in your account. I brought it here for you to see.”
Others, hearing this, curiously gathered around.
The file is just a single sheet of paper.
The above content is self-explanatory.
The total revenue of the medicinal cuisine factory was 1,456,880 yuan.
Net profit was 1,089,999.
After splitting, each person receives 0.5 yuan.
"Wow! That's quite a lot," Guo Ziming said. "Looks like business is booming."
Su Yan thought it would only be a little over 200,000, but she didn't expect it to be so considerable, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"With so much money, it seems Brother He has put a lot of effort into his business."
He Jin cleared his throat and fiddled with his hair, saying, "It's all because your medicinal cuisine is so effective that repeat customers have gradually increased. Customers who bought it at first and thought it was pretty good ended up ordering custom-made meals the second time. The majority of the profits come from custom-made medicinal cuisine."
The current staff training program for customized medicinal cuisine is not yet mature enough. After they customize the recipes based on the customers' needs, they need to hand them over to Suyan, who will then make unified modifications.
“Our factory hasn’t been open for long, but business will only get better and better. I estimate that next year’s income will be two or three times that of this year.”
Guo Ziming raised an eyebrow, "Such arrogance?"
He Jinnian straightened his back and said proudly, "I have great confidence in the medicinal cuisine of our factory."
Actually, he only saw this account a week ago.
He has many big businesses, and he entrusts small factories like the medicinal cuisine factory to his assistants to manage. He never expected that the income would be so substantial in such a short period of time!
That's why he decided to run the medicinal cuisine factory himself this year, which is why he dared to say that he would increase the profits several times over.
Su Yan patted his shoulder, "Okay, then Brother He will be in charge of being the social butterfly, and I'll be in charge of providing support from behind."
"Speaking of which, how's Banrixian's income this year?" Guo Ziming asked curiously.
Although I'm not in Guangzhou, I often hear my friends say how delicious the food at Banrixian Restaurant is, and how they crave it if they don't eat there for a while. I imagine it must be doing very well.
Su Yan frankly stated, "The total revenue of the Yangcheng branch of Banrixian in recent years is 2.9 million yuan, and the investment has been recouped. The total revenue of the Chongqing branch is 1.14 million yuan, and the investment in the branch was only a little over 100,000 yuan. Now both branches have started to make money."
Half-Day Leisure is becoming increasingly famous, and the number of customers at both stores is only increasing, with many customers coming from other places.
