The visitor was none other than the person from Friendly Food Company who had come to purchase Cheng Su’s recipe last time. However, the individual who came today was not Technician Li but instead, a middle-aged man with a prominent belly and a bald head. Gu Lijuan followed a step behind him as they entered.
"Miss Gu," Cheng Su greeted with a mild and appropriate smile. She instructed Qiulan to clean a table inside the room and brought over two cups of tea.
"I said before that we would meet again. Let me introduce you, this is our food company’s boss, Wan Fuyu." Gu Lijuan introduced the man beside her with a smile, then gestured towards Cheng Su, "This is Miss Cheng Su."
Wan Fuyu looked at Cheng Su, his small eyes quickly sizing her up and flashing with a gleam of sharpness. He extended his hand, "Hello, Miss Cheng!"
"Hello!" Cheng Su shook his hand briefly before withdrawing it and, with a gesture towards the table, said, "Please sit."
Mu Yan quietly observed from the side.
"When I came last time, Miss Cheng, this restaurant wasn’t open yet. It seems that it’s up and running now. Is business booming?" Gu Lijuan asked with a smile.
"Thanks to you, the business is quite passable," Cheng Su responded politely with a smile.
"That’s good to hear. Miss Cheng, I wonder what you think about the proposal we, the Friendly company, made last time? If you find the price unreasonable, our boss is here, and you can make any request you wish," Gu Lijuan broached the subject.
"Boss Wan, even a ’minor brand’ has its day in the sun. I’m confident that given your company’s reputation, you will find the talent you need in this area. I’m truly sorry, but I actually want to do this business, so I can’t sell the recipe to your company," Cheng Su set down her teacup.
Wan Fuyu’s brow furrowed and, gritting his teeth, he said, "I’ll offer twenty thousand for the recipe!"
The offer shocked everyone. Twenty thousand was indeed a substantial amount, especially since the other party had managed to produce their own jam, albeit not as good as Cheng Su’s. Essentially, Wan Fuyu was just looking to buy the unique edge of Cheng Su’s jam.
Everyone present turned their gaze towards Cheng Su. What would she choose?
