"Grandma, this is your room, the sunlight is wonderful!" Shen Nianxi led Grandma Shen into the south-facing bedroom. The bedroom had a brand-new solid wood bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and several potted plants on the windowsill, making it look vibrant.

Grandma Shen looked at the spacious and bright bedroom, her eyes full of satisfaction: "It's really nice, really nice. I can sunbathe and read here from now on."

Zhang Lan walked in carrying a glass of water and said with a smile, "Mom, this was all carefully prepared for you by Wanqiu. She said that you are getting old and need to live in a room with good lighting and quietness, so she specially reserved this best bedroom for you."

Grandma Shen was deeply moved, and her eyes welled up with tears again. She knew that Lin Wanqiu had genuinely accepted them and wanted to live a good life with them.

At noon, Lin Wanqiu prepared a sumptuous housewarming feast at her new home. Sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, braised chicken, stir-fried vegetables—a table full of dishes, all favorites of the Shen family. Everyone sat around the table, raising their glasses to celebrate the housewarming, their laughter and chatter filling the air.

"Come on, brother, sister-in-law, Mom, let's toast you!" Lin Wanqiu raised her glass and said with a smile, "Wishing you a prosperous new home and a thriving life!"

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses, the clinking of glasses producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

Old Master Shen took a sip of his drink and said with emotion, "I never imagined that my wife and I could live in such a nice house in the city. It's all thanks to Wanqiu and Tingzhou. We will definitely live a good life from now on and live up to your kindness."

Shen Tingzhou said, "Brother, we're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just let us know, and we'll do our best to help."

Zhang Lan also said, "Wanqiu, Tingzhou, don't worry, I will take good care of Mom and manage the household chores well from now on. I will never be as lazy and greedy as before. I also want to find a job to help supplement the family income and make our family's life better and better."

Lin Wanqiu said with a smile, "It's wonderful that you have such an idea, sister-in-law. If you want to find a job, I can help you arrange a position at 'Natural Taste' food workshop. The work isn't tiring, and you can still take care of your family."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Lan's eyes: "Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, Wanqiu! I will definitely work hard!"

Grandma Shen felt a deep sense of satisfaction watching her family's harmonious gathering. She knew that her family was finally at peace, and their future would only become happier.

After their housewarming party, the Shen family began their new life in the city. Grandma Shen quickly adapted to the neighborhood, taking walks and practicing Tai Chi with other elderly residents every morning, and chatting and knitting with them in the afternoons—living a fulfilling and comfortable life. Zhang Lan found a job in the packaging workshop of "Natural Taste" food shop. Although the work wasn't easy, she worked exceptionally hard, leaving early and returning late every day, completely shedding her former laziness. Grandpa Shen found a stable job as a security guard near the neighborhood, allowing him to take care of his family.

Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou often took their children to visit the Shen family. Sometimes it was on weekend evenings, when everyone would get together for a meal and chat; other times it was on holidays, when the family would go out together to strengthen their bond. Shen Nianxi was especially fond of visiting Grandma Shen's house, performing dances for her, and chatting with her, becoming Grandma Shen's "joy."

Once, Old Lady Shen accidentally sprained her ankle. Upon learning this, Lin Wanqiu immediately rushed over with the medicinal herbs from her spatial storage. She used the spiritual spring water and herbs from her space to apply a compress to Old Lady Shen's foot and massaged it to reduce the swelling. In just a few days, Old Lady Shen's foot was healed. Watching Lin Wanqiu's busy figure, Old Lady Shen was filled with gratitude: "Wanqiu, you are truly closer than a biological daughter."

Lin Wanqiu said with a smile, "Mom, what are you saying? I have always been your daughter."

Shen Tingzhou watched Lin Wanqiu and Old Madam Shen's intimate interaction, his heart filled with relief. He knew that Lin Wanqiu, with her kindness and tolerance, had resolved past conflicts and restored harmony and warmth to this large family. This made him happier than anything else.

With the integration of the Shen family, Lin Wanqiu's life became more fulfilling. Every day after work, she would first visit Grandma Shen to check on her health and chat about everyday things. On weekends, the two families would have meals and go out together, with the children laughing and playing, and the elders chatting and laughing, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

However, Lin Wanqiu was not content with her current happy life. She knew that although "Natural Flavor" Food Workshop had developed into a well-known food company in China, market competition was becoming increasingly fierce. In order to remain invincible in the market, it was necessary to continuously innovate and launch more new products that met consumer needs.

That evening, Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou sat in the living room, watching the children play nearby, and talked about the development of the food workshop.

“Tingzhou, I want to establish a research and development center in the food workshop, focusing on new product innovation,” Lin Wanqiu said, her eyes shining with determination. “There are more and more types of food on the market now, and consumers’ needs are becoming more and more diversified. Only by constantly launching new products can we attract more consumers and allow the ‘Natural Taste’ brand to go further.”

Shen Tingzhou nodded and said in agreement, "I support you. The development of the food workshop over the years is inseparable from your innovative spirit. Establishing a research and development center is a good idea. We can hire professional R&D personnel and invest more funds and energy to develop more high-quality, high-value-added new products."

“That’s what I’m thinking too,” Lin Wanqiu said. “I plan to hire some food research and development experts from universities and research institutions to form a professional research and development team. At the same time, we will increase investment in research and development, introduce advanced research and development equipment and technology, and ensure the quality and taste of new products.”

Shen Tingzhou said, "You don't need to worry about funding. We can use a portion of the profits from the food workshop as R&D funds. As for the site, we can build a new R&D building within the food workshop's factory area, equipped with complete laboratories and office facilities."

Lin Wanqiu smiled and said, "That's great! With your support, I have even more confidence. I believe that as long as we persist in innovation and continue to launch high-quality new products, 'Natural Taste' will definitely occupy a larger share of the market and develop better and better."

Shen Tingzhou held Lin Wanqiu's hand, his tone gentle yet firm: "I believe in you. No matter what you do, I will always support you. Let's work together to make 'Natural Taste' an internationally renowned brand, so that more people can taste our products and feel our dedication."

Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, bathing the room in a gentle, bright glow. Lin Wanqiu looked at Shen Tingzhou beside her, her heart filled with a sense of peace and happiness. She knew that establishing a research and development center was a daunting task, requiring a significant investment of time, energy, and capital, but she was confident in achieving her goal. This was because she had Shen Tingzhou's support, a loyal and reliable team of employees, and a spirit of continuous progress and innovation.

The fact that the Shen family lives nearby also relieves her of any worries, allowing her to fully dedicate herself to the development of the food workshop. She believes that with the support of her family and the efforts of her team, "Natural Flavors" will surely usher in an even brighter future.
