Zhang Lan smiled and said, "Wanqiu, your pastries are really good. I just tried a piece, and they're not too sweet at all. My mother-in-law has high blood pressure, so these are perfect for her. I plan to buy a few more boxes and send some to my parents as well."

Seeing her in-laws, who had once made things difficult for her, now sincerely promoting her, Lin Wanqiu was filled with mixed emotions. Time truly is the best healer; those past grievances had long since transformed into bonds of kinship. She smiled as she packed pastries for everyone, saying, "Mom, sister-in-law, I'm glad you like them. If you want some more in the future, just let me know, and I'll have the factory save some for you."

The overwhelming popularity of the experience zone quickly spread throughout the city. Television reporters rushed to the scene, frequently filming the bustling crowds and exquisite pastries. "Ms. Lin, may I ask why you decided to develop low-sugar health foods?" a reporter asked, handing the microphone to Lin Wanqiu.

Lin Wanqiu took the microphone, her gaze sincere and firm: "As living standards improve, middle-aged and elderly people have higher and higher demands for health. However, many foods on the market contain large amounts of sucrose and additives, making them want to eat but afraid to. Our 'Natural Taste' has always adhered to the principle of 'natural, healthy, and delicious' in developing these products, hoping that middle-aged and elderly people can also enjoy delicious food with peace of mind and feel the sweetness and beauty of life."

Her words were simple and sincere, and they reached every household through the television screen. That evening, news of "Natural Taste" low-sugar healthy food spread throughout the city, and many elderly people dragged their children along, wanting to try this "pastry that you can eat with peace of mind".

Meanwhile, healthy eating lectures were being held in the community. Professor Li explained the importance of a low-sugar diet to the elderly in simple and easy-to-understand language, and even demonstrated how to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure through diet. Lin Wanqiu answered questions about the products, combining her culinary knowledge from her past life with her research and development experience in this life to make professional nutritional knowledge vivid and interesting, winning rounds of applause from the elderly.

After the lecture, many elderly people immediately ordered "Natural Delight" low-sugar pastry gift boxes. One old man held Lin Wanqiu's hand and said, "President Lin, after listening to your lecture, I didn't know that eating pastries could be so healthy. You've really done a great thing!"

Lin Wanqiu responded with a smile, "Grandpa, this is what we should do. Our greatest wish is to help everyone eat healthily and happily."

Shen Tingzhou stood silently in the corner, watching his wife surrounded by the elderly, his eyes filled with tenderness and pride. He knew how much hardship Lin Wanqiu had endured to achieve her success. From a small workshop in the 1960s to a large enterprise today, from a widow tormented by her in-laws to a respected businesswoman, every step she took was incredibly difficult, yet incredibly determined. He stepped forward and handed her a glass of warm water: "Are you tired? Drink some water and rest."

Lin Wanqiu took the water glass, leaned on his shoulder, and said softly, "I'm not tired. Seeing everyone like our product so much makes me happier than anything else."

Shen Tingzhou gripped her hand tightly, his tone resolute: "I knew you would succeed. You've always been so outstanding; whatever you do, you always do your best."

As the promotional campaign intensifies, sales of "Natural Taste" low-sugar health foods are soaring. Long queues often form in front of supermarket shelves, and numerous distributors are approaching the company wanting to become agents for this wildly popular product. Warehouse stock cannot keep up with demand, and workers in the factory are working overtime to produce more, but they still cannot keep up with the increasing orders.

Lin Wanqiu was extremely busy, coordinating production, liaising with distributors, and monitoring product quality feedback. Shen Tingzhou saw this and felt for her, so he proactively helped her with much of the workload. He used his connections to contact more high-quality raw material suppliers to ensure a sufficient supply; he also helped coordinate logistics so that products could be delivered to consumers faster.

That evening, Lin Wanqiu dragged her tired body home and was greeted by the rich aroma of food as soon as she entered. Shen Nian'an was sitting at the dining table, diligently working on math problems, while Shen Nianxi was sprawled on the sofa, drawing her entry for a dance competition.

"Mom's back!" Shen Nianxi was the first to rush over, hugging her leg and acting cute. "Mom, the teacher said today that my dance piece won first prize in the city!"

"Xixi is amazing!" Lin Wanqiu picked up her daughter, kissed her on the cheek, and her fatigue instantly disappeared.

Shen Nian'an put down his pen and stood up: "Mom, I did a mock college entrance exam today and got a perfect score in math." His face showed the naivety and pride of a young man, and his eyes were bright and determined.

Lin Wanqiu looked at her sensible children, her heart filled with joy. Nian'an would be taking the college entrance exam next year and had been preparing intensely lately, yet she still remembered to check on her work. "Nian'an, you've worked so hard. Studying is important, but you also need to rest and not overwork yourself."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll manage my time well." Shen Nian'an nodded, her gaze falling on her tired face. "Mom, you're the one who's worked the hardest. My grandma and maternal grandma both love the low-sugar pastries you developed. They say you've done a great thing."

Shen Tingzhou carried the last dish out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Alright, let's eat. I specially made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs today to help you recover."

At the dining table, the warm, soft light illuminated the happy faces of the family. Looking into her husband's gentle eyes and at her children's adorable faces, Lin Wanqiu felt a deep sense of peace and happiness. She knew that no matter how busy or tired she was at work, this home would always be her warmest haven.
