BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108 - 108: Deal Completed
Liao Ning remained silent and gazed at Lin Wan attentively.
“I only want to exchange the formula for the mental strength potion for the Wei family’s chance of survival. I hope you can show mercy and spare the Wei family’s younger members,” Lin Wan pleaded.
Liao Ning found it amusing and responded, “Miss Lin, you’ve misunderstood.
We live in a lawful society, and extermination is not on the table. As long as the Wei family members can prove their innocence in these illegal matters, they will be safe. The alliance’s laws won’t punish them.”
Lin Wan fell silent, unsure of how to counter Liao Ning’s statement. She realized that Liao Ning must have agreed to the meeting for a specific reason.
After discerning the underlying motive, Lin Wan promptly inquired, “There must be something you want from me, considering you agreed to this meeting. If you promise not to harm the Wei family, I will comply with your request. I’m willing to do anything as long as it satisfies your desires! ”
Upon hearing Lin Wan’s words, Liao Ning grinned with satisfaction. ‘Miss Lin, you truly are an intelligent person. However, there’s no need to worry. I don’t seek anything in return. I simply require your exceptional business acumen to help me promote ancient food culture throughout the alliance.”
“Promote?” Lin Wan was perplexed. Numerous researchers were already dedicated to promoting ancient food culture. Employing commercial methods seemed unnecessary, especially since her expertise lay in business, not ancient cuisine.
Noticing her concern, Liao Ning clarified, “Fear not, I don’t expect you to delve into the study of ancient delicacies. I merely need your assistance in running a restaurant.”
Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief. “As long as I’m not involved in research, I can manage a restaurant. However, opening one necessitates a skilled chef and a plethora of recipes. Can you provide these?”
She wasn’t refusing the offer, but the Interstellar Alliance lacked talented cooks and comprehensive recipes that could sustain a restaurant.
Liao Ning assured her, ‘Worry not. If you have experience in cooking, you can seek out Dr. Jiang He. As for the recipes, I can supply them. It will be sufficient for you to successfully operate the restaurant.” Liao Ning intended to assign Yu Ni to Lin Wan and have Yu Ni train a chef for her.
“I’ll listen to you,” Lin Wan said, her thoughts shifting to her son. “But I hope Miss Liao can show leniency towards my son, Wei Xuan, when Colonel Zhou deals with the Wang family’s tampering with his spaceship in the future. It was his father who forced him to do it. It’s not…
Liao Ning raised her hand to interrupt her. “I understand. While Wei Xuan didn’t intend to harm Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling nearly lost his life because of him.
I cannot forgive Wei Xuan on Zhou Ling’s behalf. However, I don’t believe Zhou
Ling will purposely take any action against Wei Xuan due to this incident.”
Having said enough, Lin Wan fell silent, realizing she couldn’t say anything more. She could only hope that Zhou Ling would show some leniency towards Wei Xuan in light of her assistance to Liao Ning.
Once the deal was concluded, Lin Wan departed. Her first task was to contact Elder Jiang and seek out a few individuals who could serve as chefs.
As Lin Wan left, Liao Ning picked up her Al device and contacted Yu Ni.
At that moment, Yu Ni was watching cartoons with Yu Guo in their hotel room.
Upon seeing Liao Ning’s call, she answered, “Why are you calling me?”
Liao Ning promptly informed Yu Ni that she wished to hire her to assist in training a chef. Without hesitation, Yu Ni agreed. However, shortly after ending the call, she began to regret her decision, realizing the challenges involved in helping Liao Ning train a chef.
Sitting inside the flying car, Liao Ning reminisced about the sudden mission the system had presented just as she was about to decline working with Lin Wan.
[Mission: Promote ancient food culture in the Interstellar Alliance. Reward:
2,000 points, 60 million star coins.]
Due to the system’s mission, she had changed her mind at the last moment, deciding to allow Lin Wan, who possessed exceptional business talent, to assist her in running a restaurant to promote ancient food culture.
She still needed to inform Zhou Ling about the situation. After all, she and Lin Wan were now in a cooperative relationship, and Wei Xuan was her son. If she didn’t handle the matter properly, the collaboration would face difficulties in
the future..
