"If there are no other questions, that's all for today. I will send you the detailed project plan as soon as possible, and I look forward to your brainstorming. Thank you again for attending."

"Okay, Engineer Lilia." Everyone changed their tone and stopped treating her like a child.

"Let me give you a ride." Yang Xiao said hurriedly when he saw Lilia walking out of the meeting room.

"Thank you."

When they returned to Jiang Hou's house, Li Ting immediately rushed to her, "Sister, you're back!"

Li Dajun was puzzled. "Didn't you return via the teleportation array at 2 pm?"

Due to the rush, Li Ting did not elaborate, "I went to the research institute."

Li Dajun was slightly startled, and rarely showed dissatisfaction, "You are in a hurry to work again after just coming back? You are just a child, you can't tire yourself out like this."

"Father, what are you talking about? I just attended a meeting to get familiar with the team and meet my colleagues for the new project."

"Well, I don't understand these things anyway, and I can't help you with anything. Just keep it in mind."

"Who said you can't help me? I will never be able to cook the dishes you cook in my lifetime. Isn't this helping me? Helping me grow into such an excellent person."

Li Dajun smiled again, "That's right, come and eat!"

At the dinner table, Lilia picked out some interesting stories from the recording of the show on the mysterious island and told them to Li Dajun.

When the production team asked them to find the ingredients themselves, Li Dajun said proudly, "See, I was right to ask you to bring the chicken, but you were still hesitant."

"Yes, yes, your premonition is really accurate."

"When will your 'Mysterious Waters' trial begin? I will let the guests in the store witness it together then." The guests Li Dajun mentioned were all old customers who were attracted by Li Li's wonderful adventure stories he told.

"Uh..." Thinking of the scene of dancing with the python in the show, Li Li was a little embarrassed and responded vaguely: "It should be in the next two weeks. The exact date has not been determined yet."

"Then you must tell me in advance, so that I don't miss it."

Li Ting shouted excitedly: "I want to see it too! I want to see it too!"

Li Li pretended to be angry and glared at him, "Just focus on eating, what are you looking at?"

"By the way, father, how is the preparation for the new store going?" Li Dajun has been traveling between the two places recently. He not only has to teach the Qing mother and daughter magical skills, but also has to supervise the construction of the new store. He is as busy as a spinning magic top.

Li Li is busier than her father and has not had the chance to visit Xindian to check it out.

"It's almost done. Aunt Qing and the others are learning magic very quickly. Soon I will be able to hand over the shop to them with peace of mind. I can just go over and inspect it occasionally."

Li Dajun frowned, "Something seems to be wrong with the new store."

Li Li put down her chopsticks, "What happened?"

"The 'Catering Magic License' has not been completed. We have applied to the Magic Business Administration many times, but it has never been approved. Without this certificate, even if the store is decorated, it cannot be officially opened."

Looking at her father's worried expression, Li Li thought for a moment and said, "Father, I will go with you to check it out after school tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, you know more than me, see if you can figure out what the problem is."

-----------------------

"Lili, I watched the live broadcast over the weekend. It was so heroic when you cast spells in the water to deal with fish and snakes!" Yao Shuige exclaimed with starry eyes.

Then she became indignant again, "Xu Xiwei is too much! I used to admire her plays, but I won't watch them anymore. Now her own reputation has plummeted. Hahahahaha!"

"Why get angry at those insignificant people?" Li Li consoled with a smile.

"Then... Jiang Xueer is also an insignificant person? Why is she so friendly to you and publicly supports you?" Yao Shuige's tone was filled with jealousy.

Li Li was puzzled by this. Jiang Xueer was indeed very close to her. At first, it seemed like she was trying to please her, but later she suddenly revealed her sincere emotions.

"Jiang Xueer?" Jiang Cheng raised his head.

"What? You are a fan too? I didn't realize it." Yao Shuige teased.

"No, she's my distant cousin."

"Wait, let me sort this out. Does this mean Jiang Xueer is your cousin? Is that right?" Yao Shuige was a little confused.

Lian Yu said helplessly: "I'll give you a silver coin. Go to the magic rocking horse at the school gate and turn it around to find out that it's my cousin, not my cousin! Okay?"

Yao Shuige glared at him and said, "Is there any need for you to say that?"

"Yes, but our two families are not close."

"No wonder that's the case."

Jiang Cheng's eyes became deeper. Although he was not familiar with Jiang Xueer, he knew her temper. She was arrogant. How could she be kind to Li Li for no reason? Did her uncle say something?

He looked at Li Li, only to find that she had turned her head and was talking to Qing Yu.

"Qingqing, let's go together after school. I'll go to the store too."

"Ok."

"That's about it. Roast it with a mysterious magic flame for ten minutes, then switch to a weak spiritual fire, and simmer for about twenty minutes, until the ingredients become as soft as a dream. That's when they're almost perfect." Li Dajun imparted the secret to Qing Lian in the exotic spice shop.

Qing Lian looked focused, holding a feather pen in her hand, and taking careful notes on the parchment.

“Father, we are here.”

Li Dajun turned his head.

Qing Lian said happily: "Lili, you are here. It's been a long time since we last met. I feel that you have become more beautiful."

"No, I'm still the same. Aunt Qing, you look even more radiant." Li Li responded with a smile on her face. She had secretly cast a healing spell to diagnose Qing Lian. Physical illnesses are easy to cure, but what really needs to be healed is the inner trauma. When a person unloads the burden of the mind, a radiant state will naturally appear.

Li Dajun took off his apron and said to Qinglian, "Let's go first."

"OK."

The father and daughter came to the new store on Libei Street. The store area was almost the same as the old Yashe, but it had an excellent location, a constant flow of people, and there were no other similar fantasy food stores on the entire street.

Li Li walked into the store. The walls and floors had been decorated, and several craftsmen were busy installing magic cabinets.

"Father, the industrial and commercial department has not approved it yet. There must be a reason."

"I just don't know the reason. Every time I go there, they say they have too many things to deal with recently and the approval process is backlogged, so they can only do it one by one."

Li Li frowned. It wasn't the holiday season, so why was it so busy? Besides, this was just a simple signature confirmation, how long could it take?

"Father, why don't we go and ask together?"

Li Dajun thought about it and was indeed a little anxious: "Okay, let's go after dinner, so as not to affect your magic class in the afternoon."

The two decided to have a simple lunch at a nearby tofu pudding shop.

Li Li likes spicy food, so Li Dajun sprinkled some chili powder on his daughter's tofu pudding. "If I had known, I would have eaten it over there first. I forgot about it when I was in a hurry."

“It’s okay, it tastes great here too.”

"Yes, the tofu pudding in our store is a craft that has been passed down for more than ten years." The shop owner sitting next to him interrupted, "Brother Li, is this your daughter?"

"Yes, my daughter. She's beautiful, right? She inherited my good looks." Li Dajun nodded happily. He often came here to supervise the decoration work and had already become friends with the owner of the tofu pudding shop.

"So beautiful!" But it seems like you didn't notice it.

"Brother Li, your store will be open soon, right?"

"It's almost done. The cabinets will be installed soon." Li Dajun was a little worried again, "But I haven't received the "Catering Magic License" yet. It's been almost a month."

“Why haven’t you received it yet? Is there a problem?”

"It's because we can't find the problem that we're having a headache. The industrial and commercial department said they're too busy recently."

"Too busy?" the shop owner asked in confusion. "Not really? My business license expired last week, so I went to get a new one. It was approved in a few days. They were pretty efficient."

"Then why is this happening to us?" Li Dajun was confused.

Li Li felt that things might not be that simple. "Father, let's eat first. After we finish eating, we will go and ask."

"Yes, go and ask again, maybe something went wrong?" the owner comforted.

In the business administration hall, the father and daughter took a number and waited patiently.

"Sister Wang, that customer is here again." Inside the window, the lady in uniform gestured to her colleague next to her...

Wang Xinmei stared at Li Dajun sitting on the magic stone bench, frowned, and said in a voice full of magic with annoyance, "You are so annoying. This is the eight hundredth time you have asked, but you still haven't got the license."

The woman glanced around and whispered, "Sister Wang, who did that gentleman offend? Why is the approval so delayed?"

Wang Xinmei glared at her warningly, "It doesn't matter who you offend or not, don't say anything irrelevant!"

The woman kept silent tactfully, muttering to herself: Why are they so arrogant? They are just more experienced, but such blessings never come to them.

Soon, Li Dajun's name was called out by the magic crystal ball, and Li Li accompanied him to the service window.

"Magician, I am the owner of a shop on Libei Street. I came to ask when my restaurant license will be completed successfully."

"Haven't I told you this long ago? Just be patient and wait. There are others ahead of you in the sequence."

"But the owner of the shop next door got a new license last week and it was approved in just a few days. So, if there is any error in the procedure, please let me know and I will go back and correct it."

"I told you, just wait." Wang Xinmei responded wearily: "Renewing a license and applying for a license are very different, and the procedures are different."

"But this kind of delay is not a long-term solution. My restaurant is about to open, but the license has not arrived yet. How can I accept this?" Li Dajun was very anxious.

"Even if you're anxious I can't change it. This is the rule of magic law. If everyone is like you, where will the power of industry and commerce exist?"

Wang Xinmei spoke righteously, and Li Dajun was speechless for a moment, unable to refute this deeply rooted and experienced wizard.

Li Li stood silently by the side, witnessing Wang Xinmei's impatience, with a sarcastic smile on her lips. Even the government's responsibilities were brought up, what a compliment!

"It's indeed busy. The approval has not been completed yet?" Li Li interrupted gently.

Wang Xinmei glanced at Li Li and said, "What other reasons could there be? Would I delay on purpose? What a joke."

"Well, you have the final say."
