As soon as Lin Zhiyue's figure disappeared from the gate of the compound, Compound No. 2 began to ripple like a lake with a stone thrown into it.
The spies from various factions in the compound suddenly became active, whispering to each other with different expressions.
"Did you see that girl who just walked out?"
A middle-aged man pretended to touch his companion beside him casually, but his eyes were fixed on the direction where Lin Zhiyue left.
"I saw it. I was wondering, who is this distinguished guest from the Zhou family today?"
The companion responded nonchalantly while pricking up his ears for fear of missing any news.
Soon, the news spread throughout the compound - it turned out that she was the granddaughter that the Lin family had recently adopted.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smack their lips.
"This girl is not simple!"
Someone whispered something, but it was like a spark that instantly ignited everyone's curiosity.
"I heard that a lot of things were made by her, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Some people looked suspicious, but their eyes were filled with anticipation.
Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, an old man with gray hair and a cane in the corner coughed lightly. The originally noisy discussions suddenly became quieter, and everyone subconsciously looked at him.
The old man looked deep in his eyes and spoke slowly, "I know something about the granddaughter of the Lin family. The Lin family sent her away out of helplessness, but after so many years, who would have thought that she would be so capable."
Everyone's curiosity was completely aroused, and they gathered around, staring at the old man without blinking, afraid of missing a word.
"I heard that she met a lot of strange people outside and learned some skills that others didn't have."
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but interrupt in a low voice.
At this time, a smartly dressed young woman sneered, "What's the use of just listening to rumors? Seeing is believing. Maybe the Lin family deliberately spread the rumor to raise the value of this girl."
As soon as she finished speaking, some people echoed her.
While everyone was discussing Lin Zhiyue's abilities, in a corner, a skinny old man narrowed his eyes slightly, his cloudy eyeballs rolling around, like an old fox who was calculating something.
His fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair beside him, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound.
The extraordinary abilities displayed by Lin Zhiyue kept circling in his mind.
If he could get Lin Zhiyue to join his faction, things would be very different.
In this complicated situation in the compound, various forces are fighting openly and secretly, and the competition is fierce.
Although his faction had a relatively solid foundation, if it wanted to move to a higher level and stand out among many forces, it lacked a person with unique abilities like Lin Zhiyue.
She can come up with so many novel and useful things. If she can use them for her own benefit, she can become a powerful trump card both in political achievements and in dealing with other factions.
Maybe you can use this opportunity to open up those personal connections that have always been difficult to conquer, open up a different situation, and bring your family endless wealth and immeasurable benefits.
The old man became more and more excited as he thought about it, and a blush appeared on his dry face, as if he had already seen that with the help of Lin Zhiyue, his group's status would rise steadily and become the leading presence in this compound.
He slapped his thigh heavily and thought to himself that this was the best idea. He must come up with a comprehensive plan as soon as possible to recruit Lin Zhiyue.
On the other side, Lin Zhiyue was completely unaware of all this.
On a sunny afternoon, Lin Zhiyue stood in front of the window, and Mu Yushang's voice was heard downstairs.
"Sister Zhiyue, Grandpa told me that you are back."
Hearing Mu Yushang's voice, Lin Zhiyue shook his head helplessly and slowly walked downstairs.
Mu Yushang saw Lin Zhiyue coming downstairs and said to her, "Yueyue, I haven't seen you for a long time! Do you want to go to Uncle Zhang's place to satisfy your craving?"
Lin Zhiyue's face instantly blossomed with a pleasant smile, and the mouth-watering delicacies in Uncle Zhang's shop immediately appeared in her mind. She replied without hesitation: "Yes, yes, I miss Uncle Zhang's cooking so much!"
Lin Zhiyue leaned over and held Grandma Lin's calloused but extremely warm hand, her tone gentle and a bit coquettish: "Grandma, Yuchang and I have an appointment to go to Uncle Zhang's store to eat delicious food. We are leaving first. You should have a good rest at home. I will chat with you when I come back."
Grandma Lin looked at them lovingly, with a smile on her face. She waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
They stood up, straightened their clothes, and walked out of the house hand in hand.
Along the way, the sun shone on them, the breeze caressed their hair, they talked and laughed, and walked briskly towards Uncle Zhang's shop, their hearts full of anticipation for tasting the delicious food.
After a while, they arrived at the familiar store entrance.
The store is still as warm as ever, with wooden tables and chairs neatly arranged, and the air is filled with the aroma of food, which makes people's appetite increase.
Uncle Zhang heard the noise at the door and immediately came out from the kitchen.
When he saw Lin Zhiyue and Mu Yushang, he smiled kindly and said, "Oh, you two haven't been here for a long time! The restaurant has recently added a few new special dishes. What would you like to eat today?"
Lin Zhiyue walked forward with a smile and said, "Uncle Zhang, long time no see! I've been so busy lately that I'm exhausted. But no matter how busy I am, I can't stop missing your craftsmanship, so I quickly brought Yuchang along today."
Mu Yuchang also echoed, "Yes, Uncle Zhang, we miss you and your cooking."
