Jiang Yinyin stopped, turned around, and asked angrily, "What?!"

“The medicine you had Chunshan Pharmacy make won’t sell after summer. Your parents paid for it, so don’t do this again. Graduate from university first, and we’ll get you a job at the credit union.” Jiang Shaozhen walked up to her and said gently.

Jiang Yinyin looked defiant, "I'm going to sell!"

Shen Mingzhi looked at her with a smile on her lips, "Would your boss give you money to do this with my plan?"

"What are you so smug about? I'll come up with a better idea sooner or later!" Jiang Yinyin said, and then ran away.

“It’s not that I’m blinded by love, but your brain will never be as good as your sister-in-law’s. If you keep being so stubborn and going against your sister-in-law, you’ll end up bankrupting the pharmacy. The pharmacy owner will come knocking and take all your dowry money, and you’ll be all alone when you marry into the man’s family.” After saying this, Jiang Shaozhen prepared to leave with Shen Mingzhi.

He was considering whether to open a small shop for Shen Mingzhi to do business. As long as he hired no more than seven people, it would be considered a self-employed business and would comply with the policy.

She has the wit and intelligence to do business, and Jiang Shaochen will support her no matter what.

"Second brother, are you really protecting your sister-in-law like this?! Who's to blame for my inability to sell medicine this time? It's all her fault! You don't stand up for me, and you even help her laugh at me!" Jiang Yinyin was so disappointed in her brother. When he voluntarily retired, she was so anxious that she almost cried and even begged Song Wanyin to ask Song Huiquan to be lenient with him.

As a result, her second brother only had eyes for his wife and even helped her belittle himself.

"If you hadn't stolen your sister-in-law's prescription, none of this would have happened. You're brainless, yet you still try to do business like your sister-in-law. Isn't reality enough to slap you in the face and wake you up?" Jiang Shaozhen retorted mercilessly.

Jiang Yinyin was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Go back and explain to Mom that once summer is over, if your medicine really can't be sold, then have her cover your losses. Focus on your studies and stop messing around with this nonsense all day!" Jiang Shaozhen led Shen Mingzhi away.

"My way of making money is a mess, so what about your sister-in-law?!"

Jiang Shaozhen's face darkened. "You still want to compare yourself to your sister-in-law?! Don't you understand the methods she came up with, and the abortion situation at Ren'an Pharmacy?"

Jiang Yinyin was filled with anger but had no way to vent it. To make matters worse, what Jiang Shaochen said was true. She stormed off, wiping away her tears as she walked.

Shen Mingzhi certainly has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, and she has the ability to persuade the owner of Chunshan Pharmacy to fund the purchase of lottery prizes as employee benefits, using this to attract people to buy medicine. Even if she improved upon Shen Mingzhi's previous sales methods, she still couldn't beat her.

She was angry because she really didn't have the strength to deal with Shen Mingzhi, and her brother didn't comfort her at all, but instead kept discouraging her enthusiasm.

After Jiang Yinyin left, Shen Mingzhi said, "I wonder if she will give up this time."

"I tried to persuade her, but she insisted on going against you. I'd rather see her get beaten to a pulp by you, so she won't think she's so capable." Jiang Shao Chen used to protect Jiang Yin Yin, but after she repeatedly slandered Shen Ming Zhi, he gradually lost affection for his spoiled and foul-mouthed sister.

Shen Mingzhi glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Back in the car, Jiang Shaozhen couldn't help but ask her, "By the way, do you want to try starting your own business? I think your ideas are all very novel. If you use them in your own shop, you might be able to earn more."

“It’s too risky to do it yourself. The pharmacy is backed by a state-owned enterprise, and no one will question how much they make… Speaking of which, does your construction team have the necessary permits? You also need to have technical personnel. You have to arrange all of that, otherwise the risk is too great.” Fortunately, Shen Mingzhi likes period dramas, so she has some recollection of these policy changes.

"Identification documents?" Jiang Shaozhen was a soldier. Although he had attended high school, that was many years ago.

Although I've heard a lot about policy changes, I've never heard of needing permits to carry out construction projects.

"You'd better have your dad keep an eye on this lately, and find a few qualified technical engineers, at least those with the authority to sign off. Also... did your dad tell you whether your construction team is private or collective?" Shen Mingzhi remembered that around this time, all sorts of document checks would start.

If the permits cannot be obtained and there is no technical personnel to sign them, the construction team will be disbanded before long.

Given how much Song Huiquan targeted the Jiang family, would he still provide them with these things once the policy was implemented?

Jiang Shao Chen turned around, looking at her with a deep gaze. "Perfect timing. My dad came to the construction site to see me yesterday, saying he wanted to see the two kids. Let's go home for lunch, and you can talk to my dad?"

Although he didn't know how Shen Mingzhi knew about these policies that hadn't even started yet, he was still willing to believe what she said.

“Okay.” Shen Mingzhi agreed. After all, Jiang Shaozhen was no longer in the military, and besides… even if he were in the military, it wouldn’t matter. There are some things he wouldn’t be aware of if he didn’t come into contact with them. He would never know about these policy changes.

What may be a legal act today could become illegal tomorrow due to a new document from above.

When Jiang Shao-chen drove to the Jiang family home, he asked her, "Why don't you run your own business and just keep helping Ren'an Pharmacy?"

"Do you know what it means to be affiliated with a state-owned enterprise?" Shen Mingzhi asked him.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it. What's wrong?" Jiang Shaozhen asked.

“This is the only way I can go about doing this, and right now, I’m more inclined to help them and save some money first,” Shen Mingzhi said.

She already had a plan: first, to cooperate with Ang Lee, and ideally, to leverage his connections with state-owned enterprises to improve her relationship with the cosmetics and daily chemical factories.

Shen Mingzhi hoped to get to know the factory manager of a daily chemical and cosmetics company, and then use their empty production lines at night to create benefits for the workers while saving herself the money to invest in the production lines.

Even though the economy was underdeveloped in this era, the production lines for these daily chemical and cosmetic factories were imported from abroad, and each production line cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. Where would she get that kind of money?

She wants to make beauty products for women and create her own brand, so naturally she can't open a small shop.

Shen Mingzhi's goal is to create a brand.

Upon arriving at the Jiang family's residence, Jiang Guofu immediately came out as soon as we entered the courtyard.

As soon as Shen Mingzhi got out of the car carrying Jiang Zhou, he immediately came to greet her, reaching out to take the child. "I've been looking forward to seeing you all this morning. I'm so glad you've finally arrived. Here, let me hold Zhouzhou. You can rest, Zhizhi."

“Dad, let’s go inside and talk. Zhizhi wants to discuss some policy matters with you.” Jiang Shaozhen got out of the car and took Jiang Nian from Shen Mingzhi.

Wearing a floral dress, Jiang Nian had just reached his arms when she let go of his hands and, with her chubby body, climbed onto his shoulder.

Jiang Shao Chen lifted her onto his shoulder and said, "You like sitting on Daddy's lap, don't you?"
