My brother was silent for a second or two on the other end of the phone, his voice tinged with a helpless smile: "You keep coming up with one idea after another every day."

"Going to work and doing live streaming isn't enough, now they're getting into e-commerce. Do they really think they're made of iron?"

Jiang Yiting chuckled, her tone slightly coquettish: "That's why I came to you and the old man for help! You know the ropes, so help me out."

Given the company's current situation, I need to pave more paths for myself.

The older brother sighed, his tone softening: "Alright, if you have any other requests, just say them all at once."

Jiang Yiting immediately seized the opportunity, her speech quickening: "Ideally, we should focus on one or two reliable factories, the kind we can have in-depth collaborations with. And... hehe, it would be even more perfect if we could handle customer service too!"

The older brother couldn't help but scoff: "With only two or three hundred people in your livestream, you think they'll provide you with customer service?"

This statement reveals that he occasionally checks his sister's live stream updates.

"Brother, that was before the New Year. Don't underestimate me," Jiang Yiting immediately retorted, a hint of smugness in her voice. "Now I have several thousand viewers in my live stream every night, and my follower count is almost over 100,000!"

Seeing that Jiang Yiting wouldn't be able to hang up the phone anytime soon, Chen Bainian quietly began preparing the dishes.

He picked up the green pepper and gently gestured to her with the knife.

"Can you slice it for me?" Jiang Yiting covered the microphone and quickly instructed.

"Who are you talking to?" The older brother keenly caught the subtle movement on the other end of the phone.

"I'm having dinner at my neighbor's house," Jiang Yiting said vaguely, quickly steer the conversation back on track, "So, brother, with my current influence, is it possible for me to talk to them about a collaboration?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. The older brother seemed to be thinking: "...There are two factories that use Dad's formula. I'll find some time to sound them out."

"That's great!" Jiang Yiting felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

She dared to consider this idea because she knew that with her father's skills and connections, she had a certain degree of success.

Starting from scratch would be far too difficult for someone like her who is a complete novice in e-commerce.

After a brief chat about everyday things, Jiang Yiting hung up the phone.

"Your brother cares about you a lot," Chen Bainian said casually, his knife work continuing.

"Yeah, he's my brother. He's always worried about me being alone out there." Jiang Yiting smiled. The two had become quite familiar with each other, so talking about family was much more natural for them.

"What a coincidence, my sister called to 'check up' on me today too." Mentioning his sister, Chen Bainian's lips unconsciously curved into a gentle smile. "I hadn't told my family in detail about quitting my job to work on games, and she found out."

"Teacher Chen, you have a younger sister?" Jiang Yiting asked curiously. "It's not common for people of our generation to have younger sisters."

Her father started running a restaurant on his own after she was born.

However, his father was skilled in cooking, and he managed to carve out a niche for himself.

"Yes, I'm a senior in high school now, and the college entrance exam is in June."

"Your grades are pretty good, right?" Jiang Yiting sensed no worry in his tone, so she followed up with the question, as naturally as if she were greeting a relative's successful child during the New Year.

"It's alright. Zhejiang University is a safe bet, but it's not like we don't have a chance to challenge the two schools in Beijing." Chen Bainian's tone was calm, but the satisfaction and pride in his eyes were undeniable.

In my previous life, my family underwent a sudden and drastic change. At that time, my younger sister was pursuing her doctorate, and she had no choice but to interrupt her studies.

In this life, he is determined to protect her.

"Then maybe she could become my junior. I'm from Peking University," Jiang Yiting said with a hint of pride, though this was a boast from back in the day.

However, discussions about the college entrance examination are an indispensable part of the daily interactions among Chinese friends.

Because no matter where you are in the world, you will experience similar memories.

Although Chen Bainian already knew, he still cooperated by showing just the right amount of surprise: "Wow, Teacher Jiang is quite the hidden talent."

Jiang Yiting raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down: "Teacher Chen, your surprise is just as exaggerated as Xiao Yezi's bow just now."

"Yes, it's not surprising that you recognized me at a glance in the community garden and knew I graduated from Beijing University."

Jiang Yiting recalled the scene when they first met a few days ago.

"I already told you I'm a big fan of Teacher Jiang," Chen Bainian said with a smile, draining the washed shrimp.

He really didn't know much about Jiang Yiting now.

However, he was indeed a long-time fan of Jiang Yiting after she became famous in her previous life.

Heat the oil in a pan, stir-fry the shrimp simply with minimal seasoning, and it quickly releases a refreshing aroma.

"Back then, you were calling me 'Brother Lou' in the live stream." Jiang Yiting finally found an opportunity to bring up the old story.

Seeing Chen Bainian busy at the stove, she washed her hands and took out the vacuum-packed spicy rabbit legs to start processing.

"That's different. Back then, we were just fans, so it was to be more friendly," Chen Bainian replied. "Now, if you mind, can I call you 'Sister Lou'? Or like Xiao Yezi, 'Sister Jiang'?"

"Hey, little brother." Jiang Yiting didn't seem to care about the details, and instead took advantage of his words.

During her usual live streams, some viewers called her the streamer, while others called her "Twelfth Floor."

These terms of address always feel somewhat distant.

The nickname "Brother Lou" solves these problems very well.

Chen Bainian shook his head and chuckled.

As Jiang Yiting tore apart a rabbit leg with her hands, watching her father's skillful cooking, she couldn't help but stuff the freshly torn rabbit meat shreds into her mouth.

"Teacher Jiang, why are you sneaking a bite first?" Chen Bainian chuckled as he caught a glimpse of you.

"Hey, you should try some too, to shut your mouth, little brother." Jiang Yiting casually handed him a strip of rabbit meat that she had just torn off.

She got better and better at calling him "little brother" the more she called him.

Chen Bainian looked at the food being offered to his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth to take it.

"How was it? My dad's cooking was pretty good, wasn't it?"

Although Chen Bainian had not personally experienced the power of the original spicy rabbit leg, he could tell from Xiao Yezi's reaction and the memory of the red oil wontons.

Now, as she tears it into thin strips, the spiciness remains, but it has melted into the skin, becoming a perfect garnish that brings out an even richer aroma.

"Teacher Jiang's cooking skills are quite good," Chen Bainian said with a small compliment.

"I didn't do anything."

Chen Bainian explained at the right moment, "If Teacher Jiang hadn't torn it open by hand, I might be in the same boat as Xiao Yezi, needing milk to save my life."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Yiting's hand, which was tearing the rabbit meat, paused almost imperceptibly.

She didn't reply, but lowered her head, letting the strands of hair that slipped from her shoulder cover the slight curve of her lips, and mumbled an "Mmm".
