However, with such a good resource, something could be done to transform the business instead of letting it go bankrupt.

Since it was a grain store, the transformation didn’t need to be very big. They just needed to remain within the same industry.

When Xiao He saw that Xiao Yun had fallen silent, he said, “It’s getting late. Time to go to bed.”

Xiao Yun nodded and was about to walk to his small room. However, he found that Xiao He was following him.

Confused, Xiao Yun stopped and looked up at Xiao He. “Dad, aren’t you going back to your room to sleep? Aren’t you going to work tomorrow?”

“What’s wrong? You’re acting weird today. Didn’t you always let me sleep with you in the dark before letting go?”

Xiao Yun slapped his forehead and thought to himself. ‘How could I forget about this? Although I’m mentally mature now, I still have the body of a child.”

But if he let Xiao He coax him to sleep, he would feel a little strange about it.

Thus, he hurriedly stopped Xiao He. “Dad, our teacher said that I’m already a big child now and I have to sleep alone. I’m not afraid of the dark now, so Dad, you should also go rest.”

Xiao He looked at Xiao Yun with an expression that said, “Are you sure?”

Xiao Yun felt helpless. It was not his fault that Xiao He did not believe him. After all, Xiao Yun had once said the same thing to Xiao He only to end up wailing and howling for his father in the middle of the night.This was definitely one of Xiao Yun’s dark history.

But what could he do? The previous incident had indeed happened, but that was what the ‘prevoius’ three-year-old Xiao Yun experienced. Currently, he was the three-year-old Xiao Yun with the mental age of a twenty-three year old.

Thus, he solemnly raised three fingers to make a promise to Xiao He. “I swear that this time, it won’t happen again.”

Xiao He nodded his head doubtfully, deciding to trust his son once more. “Alright then, you can go back sleep in your room by yourself. If there’s anything, call me.”

As he spoke, he rubbed Xiao Yun’s head and went back to his bedroom. After all, he still needed to work tomorrow and it was getting late.

Xiao Yun watched Xiao He enter the bedroom and close the door before returning to his own room.

As he lay on the bed, Xiao Yun’s thoughts became active.

“I remember that in my previous life, non-staple foods or snacks were very profitable. With the reform and opening up of the economy, everyone’s days started to improve and many people started to spend more on food.”

Snack were quite a popular industry in the future he had come from.

“Since children especially love snacks, the adults who dote on them such as their family members will generally be more willing to buy them for their children.”

Xiao Yun remembered that the spicy bars, Latiao, were one of the most popular snacks.

It was also Xiao Yun’s favorite snack and the thought of it made Xiao Yun start to salivate. The temptation for one was too great and it was always hard for anyone to refuse munching on them.

Moreover, if he developed the snack before anyone else did, he would definitely make a lot of money.

And while he would be the first to introduce it to the market, he would also be paving the way for the other players who joined in to develop and sell their own versions of Latiao.

In any case, it was always good to be one step ahead of others. Moreover, Xiao Yun had the memory and experience from his previous life.

If Xiao He and the lady Wang Li could get together, then it would be an even stronger alliance since she had the production logistics while Xiao He had the tastebuds of a chef.

Xiao Yun, on the other hand, could provide the best formula to produce the snacks in large batches. Xiao Yun did not so many bags of spicy sticks for nothing in his previous life.

If he wanted to combine Wang Li’s factory with Xiao He’s tasting and cooking abilities, then the first thing he needed to do was to set the two of them up.

Although it was impossible to get married so soon, he could still let them get to know each other a little better and start a relationship first.

If he felt that it was the appropriate time, Xiao Yun would certainly not object to the two of them being together.

Even if they fall out of their relationship, they could still work together.

Xiao Yun was 90% certain that this matter could be done.

Still, regardless of whether any of these ideas worked out, Xiao Yun genuinely intended to treat Wang Li a little better in this lifetime to make up for the silly things he had done in his previous life.

Previously, Xiao He and Xiao Yun had once happened to meet Wang Li when they were eating out. At that time, Wang Li bought good food for him and sold him some fun things. In fact, in the beginning, they got along very well and Xiao Yun also liked Wang Li very much.

However, one of Wang Li’s suitors said to Xiao Yun, “Aunt Wang Li is treating you so well now to be your stepmother. But once she has become that, she will fight with you for your father’s love. And one day, they will give you a little sister and little brother. By then, your father will not like you anymore.”

When Xiao Yun heard that someone was going to compete with him for his father and also take away Xiao He’s love for him, he ran home crying and smashed all the things that Wang Li had bought for him.

Xiao He and Wang Li were shocked. When the two of them asked him what was wrong, Xiao Yun refused to tell them. He simply pushed Wang Li away and called her a bad woman.

As such, Xiao He had no choice but to request Wang Li to leave first. Then, he asked Xiao Yun what exactly had happened. Only then did Xiao Yun roughly explain the matter.

When Xiao He heard that Xiao Yun did not like Wang Li as much anymore, he told her not to come for the time being.

Wang Li had asked what was going on, but Xiao He did not say anything. In the end, after Wang Li’s repeated attempts, Xiao He repeated what Xiao Yun had told him.

When Wang Li heard it, she immediately went to find the culprit. Xiao He stopped her, but it was useless. In the end, Wang Li found that person and taught him a harsh lesson. After that, that person did not appear before them again.

Unfortunately, although the person no longer appeared, the words that he said remained stuck in Xiao Yun’s mind.

And thus, no matter what Wang Li bought for him after that, Xiao Yun still kept throwing them away in front of Wang Li.

No matter how Wang Li took care of him, he never accepted her gestures. It would take a long while before Xiao Yun would ever be able to let go of his impression of Wang Li as a competitor for his father’s love.
