"But we don't have the secret recipe for Qin Jiao's family's noodle shop. We wanted to learn it, but they're only willing to do a franchise."
Lu Jiuan was probing, bit by bit, but Meng Lanlan didn't know much about business.
She said apologetically, "Jiuan, I don't really understand business matters either."
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just mentioning it to you."
Perhaps sensing his disappointment, Meng Lanlan quickly added, "Jiuan, even though I don't know anything about business, Qin Jiao was still my classmate for all three years of high school. If you need help with anything later, just tell me. I can help."
Lu Jiuan's eyebrows raised slightly, but he said, "It's really nothing. As for the business stuff, I'll let my uncle handle it himself. I was just talking. Besides, I don't want you to have to call in any favors."
Meng Lanlan quickly replied, "Why are you being so polite? We're husband and wife."
