正说着，办公室的门被轻轻敲响，秘书小陈推门而入，脸上带着兴奋的笑容：“林总，沈总，好消息！我们的产品在全国食品博览会上获得了金奖，还有好几家国外的经销商想要和我们合作，想要把‘自然臻味’的产品卖到国外去！”
小陈手中拿着一本烫金的荣誉证书和几份合作意向书，快步走到办公桌前，将东西递了过去。
林晚秋和沈廷舟对视一眼，都从对方眼中看到了惊喜。全国食品博览会金奖！这意味着“自然臻味”的产品质量和品牌影响力，得到了全国行业内的高度认可。而走出国门，更是他们多年来的梦想。
Lin Wanqiu accepted the certificate of honor, opened it, and saw the name "Natural Taste" printed on the golden certificate, with the official seal of the Expo Organizing Committee below, the gold lettering gleaming in the sunlight. Her fingers gently traced the words on the certificate, her heart filled with pride. This was not merely an honor, but the best reward for her years of dedication to quality and honest business practices.
"That's great!" Shen Tingzhou picked up a letter of intent for cooperation and read it carefully. "These overseas distributors are all quite capable, and their market prospects are very good. In late autumn, we can consider cooperating with them to promote our products to the international market."
Lin Wanqiu nodded, her eyes shining with determination: "Yes, that's what I think too. However, before we cooperate, we must conduct a detailed investigation of their market, understand local consumption habits and laws and regulations, and ensure that our products can adapt to the local market. At the same time, the quality and packaging of the products must also be further improved to meet international standards."
“You’re right,” Shen Tingzhou agreed. “I’ve already arranged for people to conduct market research, and I believe we’ll have results soon. In addition, the factory’s production equipment also needs to be upgraded and transformed, and some internationally advanced production lines should be introduced to improve production efficiency and product quality, so as to meet the growing market demand.”
As the two were discussing future development plans, there was another knock on the office door, and this time it was Shen Nian'an who entered.
Shen Nian'an is now a top student in the mathematics department of a prestigious university. He inherited the handsome features of Shen Tingzhou and the gentleness of Lin Wanqiu. He is tall and straight, wearing a clean white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, which adds to his refined and scholarly air. He had just returned from school, and although his face still showed signs of travel fatigue, he could not hide his joy.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Shen Nian'an strode to the desk, her eyes landing on the financial statement. When she saw the net profit figure, her eyes lit up instantly. "Wow, 12.65 million! Mom, you're amazing!"
Lin Wanqiu looked at her son with a relieved smile on her face, and reached out to pat his head: "Silly child, this is not my achievement alone, but the result of everyone's hard work. You just got back, are you tired? Sit down and rest."
Chen Nian'an sat down on the sofa, took the water glass handed to her by Xiao Chen, took a sip of water, and said, "I'm not tired. Just thinking about the good news at home gives me a lot of energy. By the way, Mom, Dad, I came back this time to discuss something with you."
"What is it? Tell me." Lin Wanqiu looked at her son, her eyes full of expectation. She knew that Shen Nian'an had always been very thoughtful, and this time he must have something important to tell them.
Shen Nian'an put down her water glass and said earnestly, "Mom, Dad, I'll be graduating in six months, and the school has arranged for us to do internships. I'd like to intern in the R&D department of 'Natural Taste'. On the one hand, I can apply the math knowledge and data analysis skills I learned at school to my actual work. On the other hand, I also want to learn more about your company's product development process so that I can better help the family in the future."
Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and relief in each other's eyes. They had always hoped that Shen Nian'an could achieve academic success and take over the family business in the future. Now that their son had volunteered to intern in the R&D department, this was exactly what they had hoped for.
“Great!” Lin Wanqiu spoke first, her tone full of agreement. “The R&D department is the core department of our company. Over the years, it has been constantly innovating and has launched many products that are loved by consumers. We would love to have you here for an internship. You can apply your professional knowledge to product development, which may bring us new ideas and inspiration.”
Shen Tingzhou nodded and said, "Nian'an, I'm very pleased that you have this idea. Although the work in the R&D department is hard, it is very important because it is related to the long-term development of the company. During your internship, you should humbly learn from the seniors in the R&D department, listen more, observe more, and do more, combining theoretical knowledge with practical operation to continuously improve your abilities."
"I understand, Dad, Mom!" Shen Nian'an said happily. "I will definitely do my internship well and live up to your expectations. I have already made some preparations and studied our company's existing products and similar products on the market. I found that there is still some room for improvement in the nutritional ratio and taste optimization of our products. I want to use mathematical modeling to optimize the product formula so that our products are more nutritious and more delicious."
Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou were both impressed by Shen Nian'an. They hadn't expected their son to have done so much research and come up with such constructive ideas before even starting his internship.
"Nian'an, your idea is excellent!" Lin Wanqiu said approvingly. "Nutrition and taste are the core competitiveness of food products. If you can optimize the product formula through mathematical modeling, it will greatly help our company's development. Director Zhang of the R&D department is an expert in food research and development. I will put in a good word with him and ask him to mentor you."
