When Chen Xier heard Su Yu's question, she smiled and nodded without hesitation. She explained that all the merchants she had introduced were located in the same wholesale market, though each specialized in different types of tree fruits. Su Yu could visit their shops one by one and take a look for himself. Most importantly, these people all had their own orchards and stable supply channels. If Su Yu planned to place long-term orders in the future, cooperating with them would be the best choice. They were serious, honest businesspeople, not the kind who cheated customers or cut corners. Naturally, Chen Xier wouldn't recommend unreliable profiteers to him.
Su Yu nodded after hearing her explanation and thanked her sincerely. The gratitude in his words went far beyond simple politeness. Chen Xier chuckled lightly, then didn't linger any longer. She said she had to leave as well, since she still had work to attend to afterward. After gently putting Ralts down, she waited for the car she had arranged. Once all the energy cubes were loaded, she waved goodbye and left the breeding house.
After seeing Chen Xier off, Su Yu turned back and noticed Xiaoyu and the others still staring at the contract, whispering among themselves. He waved his hand helplessly and told them to stop gawking and get back to work. They needed to get used to this kind of thing sooner or later—there was no need to make such a fuss over a contract. His tone was casual, almost dismissive.
That immediately earned him several rolled eyes. Xiaoyu protested loudly, pointing out that this was a deal worth hundreds of millions. How could he be so calm about it? She declared that she didn't care what anyone said—there had to be extra chicken drumsticks for dinner tonight. Feeling deeply offended by Su Yu's lack of excitement, she crossed her arms dramatically.
The moment she mentioned chicken drumsticks, several children who had just come back ran over and hugged Su Yu's legs, their eyes shining. If there were chicken drumsticks, they wanted some too. Seeing this scene, Su Yu was completely helpless. Laughing softly, he agreed immediately, promising extra food for everyone that night. He said he would talk to Aunt Wang and ask her to go grocery shopping.
As soon as he agreed, the children erupted with cheers. The words "chicken drumsticks" seemed to light up the entire orphanage. Watching their excitement, Su Yu's lips curved upward unconsciously. Not only would there be chicken drumsticks, but a proper feast as well—it really was something worth celebrating.
After saying a few more words, Su Yu turned and headed outside. Pikachu, Ralts, and Charmander all wanted to follow him, but Pikachu and Charmander were quickly stopped by the children. Ralts, however, was far more clever. With a quick Teleport, it vanished and reappeared on Su Yu's shoulder, even turning back to make a smug face at the two who had been left behind. Pikachu and Charmander could only feel wronged but didn't dare to resist. Pikachu, in particular, had learned its lesson—if it caused trouble, Xiaoqing would probably grab it again to use as a power generator. After being "used" several times recently, Pikachu felt like its life energy was being drained and absolutely refused to provoke those little devils anymore.
Su Yu, of course, knew exactly what was going on behind him. He was actually glad that Pikachu feared Xiaoqing and the others. That fear showed that Pikachu cared about the children and didn't want to hurt them. Charmander was the same—even though it was still young, it instinctively understood that the children of the orphanage were family. As for Flash Pidgeot, Su Yu had heard that it often flew to the back mountain these days and had even taken a liking to a wild Pidgey. That development left Su Yu speechless.
When Su Yu found Aunt Wang and the other aunties chatting, he directly told her to go buy more food. Today was a day for a big meal—they had just received a huge order and deserved to celebrate. Hearing this, the aunties were immediately confused. Aunt Wang frowned, asking if Su Yu was joking. Celebrate? Even if they had money, they couldn't spend it recklessly. Was he dissatisfied with her cooking? The orphanage had always lived frugally—how could they suddenly start wasting money?
Su Yu instantly realized they had misunderstood. Calmly, he explained that it was precisely because of the big order that he wanted everyone to eat better. He also said he would cover the food expenses and told them not to skimp on meals in the future. The children's health was the most important thing. He didn't mention how much money he had earned—he knew that if he said it himself, it might sound like bragging. Xiaoyu and the others would explain it sooner or later.
As he spoke, Su Yu took out his phone and transferred 100,000 directly to the orphanage's account, asking Aunt Wang to use it for better food and daily needs. When Aunt Wang saw the notification, she was stunned. She scolded him lightly for not knowing how to save money, saying that even if he was rich, he shouldn't spend it so freely. Still, she accepted it in the end, agreeing to go shopping—and even planned to buy some new clothes for the children while she was at it.
Although she didn't know exactly how much Su Yu was earning now, she understood him well. If he dared to transfer such a large amount so casually, it meant he truly had the means. Thinking about how Su Yu had grown up eating the food she cooked and was now so capable, Aunt Wang felt deeply relieved. The lives of the children in the orphanage were only going to get better from now on. The aunties exchanged looks and smiled warmly, their faces filled with genuine happiness.
