Shen Tingzhou also places great emphasis on building a strong corporate culture. He established scholarships within the company to support employees' children's university education; created an employee activity room to enrich employees' leisure time; and regularly organized employee health checkups to care for their well-being. Under his leadership, the corporate culture of "integrity, innovation, win-win cooperation, and gratitude" has taken root, continuously strengthening employee cohesion and a sense of belonging.

"President Lin, President Shen, thank you so much!" An employee's child was admitted to a prestigious university, and he brought the child to express his gratitude. "If it weren't for the company's scholarship, we really wouldn't know how we would have been able to afford the tuition."

Lin Wanqiu said with a smile, "This is what we should do. Employees are the company's wealth. You have contributed so much to the company, and we hope to solve your worries as well."

Shen Tingzhou also said, "We will raise our child well so that he can become a useful member of society. In the future, the company will continue to increase its financial support for the children of its employees so that more children can realize their dreams of going to university."

Seeing the happy smiles on their employees' faces, Shen Tingzhou and Lin Wanqiu felt a great sense of accomplishment. They knew that the success of a company was not just about accumulating wealth, but also about taking on responsibility.

As the company continued to grow, Shen Tingzhou and Lin Wanqiu began to consider its long-term development. They realized that in order for "Natural Flavor" to thrive in the long run, they had to continuously innovate and launch more new products that met market demands.

Using the food knowledge base within her space, Lin Wanqiu combined it with modern consumers' demands for health and nutrition to develop a series of new products: low-sugar, low-fat whole-grain meal replacement powders, fruit and vegetable crisps rich in dietary fiber, and nutritious porridge suitable for the elderly. These products were an instant hit with consumers, becoming bestsellers in the market.

Shen Tingzhou was responsible for the production and promotion of the new products. He organized technicians to upgrade and transform the production equipment, improving production efficiency and product quality; he also developed a detailed promotion plan, using a combination of online and offline methods to let more consumers know about and recognize the new products.

Through their joint efforts, "Natural Flavor" has become increasingly diversified in its product line and more competitive in the market. The company's annual sales have continued to climb, and profits have increased significantly, bringing it closer to its goal of becoming a well-known domestic food enterprise.

At the end of that year, "Natural Taste" held its annual summary meeting. The meeting room was brightly lit, and branch managers and department heads from all over the country gathered together, their faces beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Standing on the stage, Lin Wanqiu reviewed the company's development over the past year and announced the exciting sales results: "Dear colleagues, thanks to everyone's joint efforts, our company's annual sales have exceeded 500 million yuan this year, and our annual profit has reached 80 million yuan! This is the result of our joint efforts. Thank you all for your hard work!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience and lasted for a long time. Shen Tingzhou stood beside Lin Wanqiu, looking at her confident and composed demeanor, his heart filled with pride. He knew that this woman, who had suffered hardship and lack of food and clothing in the 1960s, had now become a successful entrepreneur, and all of this was inseparable from her resilience, wisdom, and unremitting efforts.

After the debriefing meeting, Shen Tingzhou and Lin Wanqiu stood side by side by the conference room window, gazing at the dazzling city night view outside. The distant skyscrapers were ablaze with lights, and the streets were bustling with traffic—a scene of prosperity.

“Late Autumn, we did it.” Shen Tingzhou held her hand, his voice full of emotion. “I still remember when we separated from the family with Nian’an, we were penniless and could hardly afford a full meal. Now, our company has become a leader in the industry, and our children have all realized their dreams.”

Lin Wanqiu leaned on his shoulder, tears glistening in her eyes, but a smile played on her lips: "Yes, we did it. There have been so many difficulties along the way, but thankfully you've always been by my side. Tingzhou, thank you."

"Silly girl, no need to thank me." Shen Tingzhou gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "We are husband and wife, comrades-in-arms, and soulmates. In the future, we will work together to build 'Natural Flavor' into a well-known food company in China, so that more people can eat healthy and delicious food, and more farmers can increase their income and become rich." Lin Wanqiu nodded, her heart filled with anticipation.
