Before long, the kitchen staff brought in a few dishes of medicinal cuisine. Huo Yao unhurriedly folded up the test papers that she had yet to put into her bag and put them away.
Only then did Old Mr. Yi notice that Huo Yao was wearing the No.1 Middle School uniform. He could not help asking her in surprise. "You study at No.1 Middle School?"
Huo Yao acknowledged him softly.
"Miss Huo is a senior in high school. That's why she doesn't have time to study," explained Zhuo Yun.
When Elder Yi heard this, a look of realization flashed across his face. No wonder the young lady rejected him so straightforwardly. Then, he smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. It's the turning point of a student's life. You should focus all your attention on your studies."
After a pause, Old Mr. Yi continued, "I have a good-for-nothing grandson who's also a senior in No.1 Middle School. I asked him to learn how to make medicinal cuisine from me, but he's not interested at all."
"Most young people have an unstable temperament," Zhuo Yun said with a smile.
"Yeah." Old Mr. Yi sighed. He glanced at the medicinal cuisine on the table and quickly stood up. He looked at Min Yu and said politely, "I won't disturb your meal then."
Min Yu nodded at them.
Soon, Elder Yi left the private room.
After some time, Zhuo Yun looked at Huo Yao and said, "Miss Huo, do you know what kind of great opportunity you just turned down?"
Huo Yao raised her brow and looked at Zhuo Yun without a word.
"Sigh, let me put it this way. The Yi family has an important position in City S. If you become Elder Yi's disciple, you and your family will be able to do whatever you want in City S. Plus, Elder Zhuo is a member of the Apothecaries' Association …" Zhuo Yun suddenly stopped talking.
He recalled that Huo Yao had grown up in a small county, so she probably wouldn't understand the Apothecaries' Association even if he told her about it. In the end, he swallowed all thoughts about the Apothecaries' Association and concluded. "Anyway, getting involved with the Yi family will do you no harm."
After a pause, Zhuo Yun added, "You don't have to worry about university anymore."
"Oh." Huo Yao shrugged nonchalantly. Then she lowered her head and continued with her meal.
Zhuo Yun, who had wanted to see Huo Yao upset that she had missed this opportunity, was speechless.
Did he not make it clear enough?
Why didn't Miss Huo react at all?
Min Yu glanced at Zhuo Yun. "Eat your food."
Zhuo Yun touched the tip of his nose. He felt that other than him, who had been excited for half a day, these two were completely indifferent.

After dinner, they left Elder Yi's medicinal cuisine restaurant.
But the moment she stepped out of the door, the service staff chased after her and handed her a token. "Old Mr. Yi asked me to give this to you."
Huo Yao took the box and opened it. There was a custom-made identity card inside.
Min Yu glanced at it. A look of surprise flashed across his handsome face. He said slowly, "Take it. This card is quite useful."
Huo Yao raised her brow and looked at Min Yu. She said half-jokingly, "Do I get a discount?"
Min Yu's lips twitched. He did not explain further. "You can think of it that way."
"Alright." Huo Yao veered her eyes and put the card away. She turned to the attendant and said, "Thank Old Mr. Yi for me."
Zhuo Yun, who had just driven the car over and was about to open the car door for his master, had overheard the entire conversation between the two of them: "???"
That was an identity card. Why did it become a discount card in their hands?
