(It's been over a month since the new book was released, and I haven't had much interaction with friends in the book. I apologize for that.)

To thank my friends for their continued support, I'm adding an extra update today. The second and third updates will still be posted at noon and in the evening.

Your support is my motivation for writing. Thank you for your continued support.

Please continue reading the main text;

After finishing their meal and returning to the machinery factory, Dong Qing said, "Su Wei, drive the car back and park it in the bean product factory yard. The bean product factory opens tomorrow, so you can rest at home for the day."

Su Wei said "okay," got into the car, said goodbye, started the car, and drove out of the machinery factory.

The next day, after breakfast, Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu went to the bean product factory.

Today is the official opening day of the bean product factory. A temporary stage has been set up outside the factory gate in preparation for the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu went into each workshop and inspected it.

After several months of construction, the bean product factory has been fully completed, with six large workshops and an additional drying workshop, mainly used for drying dried bean curd sticks. It has entered the production stage and the workshop is currently undergoing trial production.

The drying workshop is equipped with thick steel pipes, and there are large furnaces at both ends of the workshop. The heat source is transported from the furnaces to the drying workshop through the steel pipes. The drying workshop is clean and hygienic.

The temperature in the drying workshop can reach over 60 degrees Celsius, ensuring that the produced dried bean curd sticks are dried in a timely manner.

The production workshop for dried bean curd sticks cannot do without large pots. There are rows of large pots in the workshop, and movable steel pipes are placed on top of the pots. The steel pipes are filled with dried bean curd sticks and can be replaced in time.

The factory mainly employs female workers, with very few male workers. The male workers are responsible for making and filtering soybean milk. The filtered soybean residue is directly transported to the pig farm by tricycle to feed the pigs. Dongqing fully demonstrates the value of waste utilization, and no resources are lost.

During this period, Dongqing brought back several truckloads of soybeans from other places, which were stored in the warehouse. All the equipment was purchased, and the recruitment was completed. The company was about to officially open for production.

At 10 a.m., Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu, as the owners of the bean product factory, went on stage and cut the ribbon together with the factory manager, Zhou Hui.

Dong Qing wore a suit and tie today, while Li Yuzhu and factory director Zhou Hui each wore a red dress and red high heels.

Several girls from the bean product factory, all dressed in red dresses and red high heels, walked onto the stage holding ribbons. Dong Qing, Li Yuzhu, and Zhou Hui each took a new pair of scissors to cut the ribbon.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the three cut the ribbon.

It actually looked quite impressive; it had the feel of a large factory opening, and the atmosphere was very festive.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, all workshops began to operate normally. The processed dried bean curd sticks were pushed to the drying workshop to dry, and the dried bean curd sticks were pushed to the warehouse. Several girls professionally packed them into boxes and then placed them in the warehouse. The assembly line operation was orderly and efficient.

Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu entered the conference room and sat down in the front seats.

The factory leadership team has been established, with Zhou Hui as the factory director. Below them are departments such as sales, advertising and promotion, finance, and payroll...

The department currently has a small staff, but it has everything it needs, and the management is not chaotic at all.

Dongqing convened a leadership meeting to discuss future development, focusing primarily on sales and product promotion.

Li Yuzhu, as the company's deputy general manager, also gave a speech.

When Li Yuzhu returned home at noon, she took a shower, changed into a white dress, and went to the kitchen to cook. Just as she reached the kitchen door, Dong Qing said, "Yuzhu, don't rush, come sit down, I have something to discuss with you."

Li Yuzhu walked to the sofa and sat down. She said, "Go ahead and tell me."

Dong Qing said, "The wheat harvest is about to begin, and after that, construction of the wholesale market will start. Our businesses are multiplying every day, and we're also going to tender for construction companies soon. There are so many things that the two of us simply can't handle. We should start our own company."

Li Yuzhu said, "I've thought about that too. You can decide what to do."

In terms of work, Li Yuzhu has never held back. Apart from the 15 million investment, she has never objected to any decision Dong Qing made. Dong Qing can never deny this. Li Yuzhu has this advantage, which is something that most women cannot do.

Dong Qing said, "When setting up a company, you need to find a reliable manager. My classmate Li Churan introduced me to a potential manager, and we've arranged to meet her this afternoon."

Li Yuzhu said, "Okay, I'll support you no matter what you do. I'll go with you this afternoon. Is there anything else?"

It must be said that Li Yuzhu is a very gentle and sensible woman who can take everything in stride.

Dongqing said, "My second sister said last night that five wholesalers want goods. You and Suwei will load the truck and set off tomorrow. This truck can hold goods from five different wholesalers at once. I'll take care of some company matters at home, and then I need to register. I'll have to trouble you with this trip."

“Don’t forget, although we’re not husband and wife, we’re at least business partners. I’m doing this for myself, so it’s really not that hard. Su Wei and I are going out tomorrow, so you can go about your business.” Li Yuzhu paused for a moment and said, “There’s something I also need to discuss with you. My parents’ house leaks every time it rains. Could you buy them a house in the county town? I’ll move back to my parents’ house after we buy it. What do you think?”

Divorce is divorce. Li Yuzhu always felt it was inconvenient to live in the same house as her ex-husband. After all, they still had feelings for each other, and living together every day would add a lot of psychological pressure to both of them.

This is the main reason why she wants to move back to her parents' home, but it's inconvenient for them to live in the countryside. So she wants to buy a house for her parents in the city so they can do business there.
