Chapter 496 - 21: The Interweaving of Fate_2
Shen Yinian listened for a long time without a word. It should be noted that his appearance resembled his father’s by at least eighty percent, and here he was still a diamond bachelor—so how come no one was pursuing him so fervently?
"What did you say?" Lin Xiaoguai was stunned, "A state banquet?"
Shen Chi nodded, "Isn’t the millennium approaching? They are placing a lot of importance on this state banquet and hope that your gift shop can provide a batch of fruit wine."
He paused, "According to their wishes, they also hope that you can personally provide two kinds of Chinese-style pastries."
Chinese-style pastries had been limited-time freebies during past events held by the gift shop. Although they were freebies, they became universally liked by customers, many of whom even wanted to buy them afterward. Unfortunately, Lin Xiaoguai was not interested in doing business with such short shelf-life food, leaving many customers no choice but to leave disappointed.
However, her good reputation had spread.
"Isn’t this taking it a bit too seriously?" Lin Xiaoguai asked, somewhat surprised.
It’s not like state banquets hadn’t been held in previous years.
"It’s not about taking it too seriously, it’s that the higher-ups are now confident," Shen Chi said, in a good mood.
Lin Xiaoguai was initially stunned, then she realized, yes, the millennium was here, and China had indeed started to gain a firm footing internationally.
"If it weren’t for the fact that having the recipe for your shop’s products would be useless, they probably would want to ask for it," Shen Chi remembered something and said with a bit of amusement.
He knew there must be some reasoning behind it, but since Wanwan didn’t say, he wouldn’t press the matter.
