“Grandpa, why are you here?”


  Grandpa Cheng looked sullen, and he snorted coldly in response. “I’ve been there all the time, but you were so absorbed in your conversation that you didn’t notice me.”


  Su Yayan smiled guiltily. “You heard it all.”


  “Yes.”


  “Then what do you think of my idea? Can I open a medicinal cuisine restaurant?”


  “You can definitely open it. The research institute has recently planted the seeds, and the only ready products they have are those you sent. You are the only source before these things enter the market. The people at the research institute know how effective they are, and if you are willing to take them out to open a medicinal cuisine restaurant, they can’t be more supportive of it. Maybe they will be happy to support your shop.”


  Su Yayan’s eyes gleamed. If the research institute could really support her shop as her grandfather said, then her small shop would have a solid foundation, and it would be something she could rely on in the future if anything happened.

  “However, opening a restaurant is harder than sitting in an office. I am afraid it will be very tiring for you.”


  Su Yayan had thought about this a long time ago. She laughed and said, “It’s okay. I’ve just asked Uncle Cheng to find help for me. Otherwise, I can also conduct a time-limited sale and make one or two hundred portions a day and nothing more. Don’t all those high-end restaurants do that? I know that I won’t wear myself out.”


  “Hmph, how na?ve!” Grandpa Cheng knew his granddaughter well. When he needed to be tough, he was tough, and when he was softhearted, he was indeed a softie.

  When people started begging her once she opened the shop, she might be exhausted from the effort.

  Su Yayan smiled noncommittally and did not respond.

  When Grandpa Cheng saw her expression, he knew that she did not take his words to heart and continued to persuade her. “These things are your responsibility, and it is both a blessing and a curse. You may have to face a lot of challenges when you open this store, and there may be troubles you cannot solve.”


  Su Yayan’s smile faltered, and she nodded in understanding. “Yes, I know.”


  “Even so, do you still want to open the shop?”


  “Yes. Now that I have these things, I have the responsibility to make the best use of them. Opening this shop can help some people, and I also want to have a career that I work hard for.”


  “A career that you have worked hard for?” Grandpa Cheng’s expression went slightly dark. “Didn’t your parents leave you some businesses?”


  “Yes, brother just gave me an entertainment company to manage recently, but I think it’s not enough.”


  “Not enough?” Grandpa Cheng’s expression improved a little, but he was still serious. “Do you think that one company is too little? Then…”


  “Grandpa, you misunderstood what I meant.” Su Yayan knew what he was thinking and chuckled lightly. “I simply want to do what I want to do and am capable of doing. I want to experience it all and improve myself. This way… I will be worthy of him.”


  “Him?” At first, Grandpa Cheng was pleased to hear Su Yayan’s words, but when he heard her last sentence, his whole face clouded over.

  Su Yayan’s face was slightly red. Facing Grandpa Cheng’s piercing gaze, she felt a little embarrassed. “It’s just… It’s just…”


  How could Grandpa Cheng not understand her thoughts when she looked like this? “That Huo family lad?”


  “Yes.”


  Perhaps it would have been better if she did not admit that. Now that she did, Grandpa Cheng was furious. “What do you mean that you aren’t worthy of him? My granddaughter is beautiful and gentle, and she cooks good dishes. How could she not be worthy of that stinky lad? Who told you that? Grandpa is going to find him to put some sense into him!”
