When she got back from the mansion, Ye Jiayao immediately went to find Shopkeeper Li.
The ice cream mooncake has been added to the feast's menu so she knew that people would be going to the restaurant after the banquet to get ahold of it. She wanted a share in the mooncakes' future profits. Of course, she knew that as the head chef, it was her responsibility to bring out new dishes for the restaurant, but this was different. She had already relinquished the profits she should've gotten for the chilled drinks, she couldn't give up the mooncake, too.
However, when Ye Jiayao told Shopkeeper Li about it, his response wasn't as enthusiastic as before. He told her that he'd have to think about it first and that dampened Ye Jiayao's excitement. She wondered if he wanted to keep all the profits that the mooncake would make to himself. If that was the case, she'd definitely keep all the other good things she was planning to herself.
