Lin Wan'er's eyes sparkled with curiosity. She gently put down her chopsticks, turned to the busy Su, and asked softly, "Aunt Su, what is that magical thing that you just sprinkled on the dishes? What makes the dishes taste so unique?"

Su stopped what she was doing, turned around, and said with a warm smile on her face, "Wan'er, you are really attentive. Haha, this is the secret recipe carefully prepared by Yan'er and Uncle Lu! They blended various rare medicinal materials together and boiled them into a rich soup. Just drop a few drops into each dish to instantly enhance the taste and make it more delicious."

Lin Wan'er was amazed: "Aunt Su, no wonder every time I visit your house, I always praise the food. It turns out there is such a secret!"

Lu Tingyan smiled slightly, turned her gaze to Lin Wan'er, and asked expectantly: "Sister Wan'er, do you think if our restaurant uses this unique condiment, will it attract more customers?"

Lin Wan'er pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Sister Yan'er, your suggestion is very good. This unique flavor will definitely arouse the interest of diners and make them linger."

After hearing this, Lu Tingyan showed a happy smile on her face. She continued, "Sister Wan'er, we have a bigger plan. We plan to launch a new dish for the restaurant every month so that diners can taste different delicacies every time they come."

"New dishes?" Lin Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up. "This is a great idea! But how to implement it?" She couldn't wait to know more details.

"Sister Wan'er, then we can talk about cooperation." Lu Tingyan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, with a hint of joy in her eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a charming smile, and responded softly: "Sister Yan'er, I am deeply honored by this. I have always been very happy to work with you to work together to push this restaurant to a new height. I just don't know what specific cooperation plans Sister Yan'er has this time?"

Lu Tingyan seemed to have thought it over carefully. She explained calmly, "Sister Wan'er, this unique seasoning soup is a versatile product. Whether it is used for cooking dishes, making staple foods, or carefully baking desserts, just two or three drops each time will add unparalleled deliciousness to the food. As for the mode of cooperation, we hope to invest in the secret recipe, and the profit sharing will be distributed according to the ratio of 40:60. I will get 40% and sister will get 60%." After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Lin Wan'er, looking forward to the other party's reaction.

In fact, Lu Tingyan and her friends are fully capable of opening a restaurant on their own, but opening a new store will inevitably face many tedious matters, and if there is not enough support behind it, it will probably be difficult to operate it.

"Sister Yan'er, this... this ratio of 4:6 is a little high. This matter is of great importance. I need to consult my father before making a decision." Lin Wan'er replied tactfully.

Lin Wan'er thought that this could indeed be a possible collaboration in the long run, but she was afraid that her father would not agree.

Lin Wan'er said to Chef Lin, "Uncle Lin, ask my father to come over right away." Then she looked at Lu Tingyan and said, "Sister Yan'er, please wait a moment. My father will be here soon."

Lu Tingyan nodded to show her understanding. She gently smoothed the wrinkles of her dress and sat aside calmly, with determination and expectation in her eyes. She had expected that such a proposal might make Lin Wan'er hesitate, but this was also the result of her careful consideration. She believed in the potential of this seasoning soup, and believed that cooperation with the Lin family could bring a win-win situation.

After a while, Lin Wan'er, the chef, came in hurriedly, followed by a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament, who was Lin Wan'er's father, Master Lin. As soon as Master Lin entered the door, he nodded to Lu Tingyan as a greeting, and then turned to Lin Wan'er and asked, "Wan'er, what is the matter that you called me here for?"

Lin Wan'er briefly recounted what had just happened, and then said, "Father, look at this cooperation..." Before she finished her words, Master Lin waved his hand, signaling her not to continue.

Master Lin walked up to Lu Tingyan and said with a smile: "Niece Lu, I guess you are the niece Lu Tingyan that my daughter often mentions. I have a general understanding of your proposal. This seasoning soup is indeed a good thing. If it can be used in the dishes of our restaurant, it will definitely attract more diners. However, regarding the proportion of profit sharing, I think we can discuss it again."

Lu Tingyan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Lin, I understand your concerns. However, the secret recipe of this seasoning soup is made by us using precious medicinal materials, which is very precious. Moreover, we will also be responsible for the subsequent research and supply work and provide new dishes, so the ratio of 4:6 is not high."

Master Lin pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this, we both take a step back and split the money 50-50? This will not only show the sincerity of our Lin family, but also guarantee the interests of your Lu family."

Lu Tingyan thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Uncle Lin is really straightforward, then let's do as you say."

Lin Wan'er was also relieved when she saw this. She knew that her father was a shrewd man. He must have made such a decision after careful consideration. She looked at Lu Tingyan and said gratefully, "Sister Yan'er, thank you."

Lu Tingyan smiled and shook her head: "Sister Wan'er, this is our common cause, why should I thank you?"

"Of course, all of this requires our joint efforts." Lu Tingyan said seriously, "But I also believe that as long as we do everything with our heart, we will be able to make our restaurant's business more and more prosperous!"

Lin Wan'er also smiled: "Sister Yan'er, your ideas are always so novel, interesting, and quirky. It's great to have you here! Let's work together to run the restaurant well~"

Hearing Lin Wan'er's praise, Lu Tingyan smiled modestly: "Sister Wan'er, you are too kind. I just like to think and try new things. Besides, I feel very honored and happy to be able to work with you."

Master Lin heard the conversation between the two and praised again: "Niece Lu, you are indeed a rare talent. You are so outstanding at such a young age. Not only are you smart, but you are also so courageous. It is really admirable!"

Su smiled and interrupted, "Mr. Lin, you are too kind. Tingyan has been a little eccentric since she was a child, but she is indeed a kind-hearted, smart and good child. It is her honor to be able to cooperate with the Lin family this time. Please don't blame her for her previous presumptuous proposal. She just wanted to contribute to the development of the restaurant."

After hearing what Su said, Master Lin smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, how could I blame her? Her proposal is very good and we are very satisfied. It is our Lin family's honor to be able to cooperate with the Lu family. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, the restaurant will definitely get better and better."

During the heated discussion, Jun Moyuan sat quietly by the side, his eyes gently on Lu Tingyan. His eyes were full of admiration and deep love for her.

"Yan'er, you are really very smart." Jun Moyuan said suddenly.

Hearing this, Lu Tingyan lowered her head shyly, chuckled and replied: "No, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Without your support and help, I would not be able to do so well alone..."

Looking at this group of energetic, passionate and creative young people in front of him, Su couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief and pride on his face.

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Lu Tingyan said softly, her voice clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature. Then, she turned to look at Lin Wan'er, her eyes flashing with determination, "Sister Wan'er, the bottle of seasoning we brought today should be enough for the restaurant to use in the next few days. I will arrange for someone to deliver it later to ensure a stable supply."

Lin Wan'er smiled and nodded, indicating her agreement. She thought to herself that Lu Tingyan was indeed careful and thoughtful. "Okay, I will also arrange some staff to fully cooperate with your work." Lin Wan'er responded firmly.

"Then I'll leave it to Sister Wan'er! But regarding this bottle of mysterious seasoning, please keep it confidential. It would be best to have your chefs sign a confidentiality agreement to avoid leaks." Lu Tingyan reminded solemnly.

Lin Wan'er's heart tightened, realizing the importance of this seasoning, and quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Sister Tingyan, I will definitely do what you asked. I will personally arrange it later and let all relevant personnel strictly abide by the confidentiality regulations."

After receiving Lin Wan'er's promise, Lu Tingyan felt relieved. She knew that Lin Wan'er had always been steady and reliable, and since she had promised, she would definitely do it. After the two of them discussed some details, Lu Tingyan led everyone to leave.

Looking at the backs of Lu Tingyan and others leaving, Lin Wan'er was filled with emotion. She secretly made up her mind to work hand in hand with Lu Tingyan to make Ruyi Restaurant a leading food destination in the city.
