Xiang Ying expressed her attitude that she did not want to continue the relationship. Shen Mingzhu tactfully did not insist. After saying some polite words, she politely left.

After sending Shen Mingzhu away, Xiang Ying felt unhappy.

She originally really wanted to be friends with Shen Mingzhu, but what Sun Feifei said made her feel like she had a thorn in her throat and she couldn't let it go.

Although Shen Mingzhu appeared calm and magnanimous in front of Xiang Ying, she was actually quite depressed.

They were getting along pretty well before, but suddenly they broke up, which is like a cliff-like breakup. It would be hard for anyone to accept.

However, she has always been an open-minded person and will not give up on starting a business just because of the breakup with Xiang Ying.

When Pei Wenping was not at work on the weekend, Shen Mingzhu packed her things and took Pei Ziheng to visit Chen's house, and also talked to Pei Wenping about her entrepreneurial ideas.

Although Pei Wenping is a professional woman of the new era, she is not optimistic about Shen Mingzhu's idea of ​​starting a business.

"Mingzhu, starting a business is not as easy as you think. You are a woman with no background or connections. How can you compete with those business experts?"

"In my opinion, you can just run the mooncake factory well, and make some snacks to sell. It's easy and you can earn some pocket money. Isn't that great? Why bother with all that?"

Shen Mingzhu was mentally prepared for Pei Wenping not to support her.

After all, according to the thinking of people of this era, women should take care of their husbands and children and take good care of the whole family. People like her who are only focused on pursuing a career are seen by outsiders as being restless and out of place.

"Sister, this is my business plan. You can take a look at it first."

Pei Wenping took the manuscript and read it carefully.

After finishing reading, Pei Wenping's expression showed a bit more surprise and seriousness.

"Did you write this yourself?"

Shen Mingzhu nodded.

Pei Wenping looked at her and suddenly didn't know what to say.

From her perspective, this plan is very mature and every aspect has been carefully considered, from preparation to operation to development. Short-term goals, long-term goals, and subsequent plans are all clearly and specifically listed.

From this we can see that Shen Mingzhu has great determination and confidence in starting a business.

But even knowing Shen Mingzhu's determination, Pei Wenping still wanted to persuade her, "Mingzhu, if you really want to find a job, I can help you find a unit and you can go to work, how about that?"

Shen Mingzhu politely declined, "Sister, I am used to being a free-spirited person and don't like being constrained. Rather than living a stable and unchanging life, I would rather do something I like and delve into all kinds of delicious snacks. This is both my interest and my specialty."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Pei Wenping did not try to persuade her any further and said that she would help her find friends to ask.

At night, in bed.

Pei Wenping talked about this with her husband with a worried look on her face. "...I never dreamed that a rural woman like her would have such great ambitions to start her own business. How could it be so easy to do business? She thought it was too simple."

Chen Yi glared at her and said, "I don't think she is just being simple-minded. You are just thinking too much. You are obviously worried that she will become rich in the future and won't want to live with Pei Yang anymore."

Pei Wenping did not feel guilty when her worries were exposed. "Am I wrong to be worried? She doesn't lack food or money at home. It's not good for her to live a stable life. Why do you have to make trouble?"

"People are different. Some are content with the status quo, while others like to make trouble. You can't impose your own ideas on her."

Pei Wenping's eyes turned red at what she said, "My brother is already this old, and he finally got married. As his sister, shouldn't I help him look after him more?"

Pei Wenping wiped her eyes and said, "How could I say I wouldn't help her?"

Chen Yi smiled, "That's it, since we have to help anyway, just be happy and help her get it done. You don't have to think too much. We outsiders can't make the decision on matters between them."

After Chen Yi’s consolation and enlightenment, Pei Wenping finally came to her senses and actively sought help from her friends the next day.

Through the introduction of a high school classmate of Pei Wenping, Shen Mingzhu successfully met an official in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau who was specifically responsible for individual private business management.

That night, Shen Mingzhu specially hosted a banquet for the other party at a famous state-owned restaurant in Fengcheng, and took the opportunity to ask for advice on opening a food processing workshop and registering food trademarks.

Pei Wenping and her high school classmates also joined the party, and everyone at the table had a great time chatting.

It was also a coincidence that Feng Shaokang also had a dinner here today, and Shen Mingzhu ran into him when she went out to the bathroom.

Shen Mingzhu thought that Feng Shaokang was still brooding over what happened at the last cocktail party and his attitude would be very cold.

The result was unexpected. After the two greeted each other, Feng Kangshao asked her with concern whether she had found a cooperative manufacturer.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

This couldn't help but make Shen Mingzhu feel strange.

Judging from Feng Shaokang's attitude, he didn't seem to blame her for the cocktail party. Then why did Xiang Ying suddenly become distant from her?

Shen Mingzhu was not a person who would easily get stuck on details. She put the matter behind her as soon as she returned to the box.

However, after Feng Shaokang returned home, he told his wife about his encounter with Shen Mingzhu in Ginkgo Building.

"...I saw her having dinner with Liu Xianguang from the Self-employed Department today. Is she planning to start her own factory?"

When Xiang Ying heard that her husband had met Shen Mingzhu in Ginkgo Building, she felt mixed emotions.

"I think she is a troublemaker, so I cut off all contact with her. You should also stay away from her in the future to avoid being implicated by her."

Feng Shaokang looked at his wife with some surprise, but did not mention Shen Mingzhu again and started talking about something else.

——

It is easier to get things done if you have acquaintances. Shen Mingzhu easily obtained the approval document for registering an individual business operator, but other information and procedures are still needed to obtain a business license.

At the same time, she also had to find a business location, apply for a food production and operation license, and register a food trademark.

In addition, manpower and funds are also difficult problems that Shen Mingzhu needs to solve.

Shen Mingzhu took some time to go to Chengjiao Village to find Shen Chaobei and his wife.

The couple were particularly happy to see her as they hadn't seen each other for a while. Shen Chaobei took her aside and told her incessantly about the business performance during that period.

The honest man who used to be taciturn and tongue-tied has now turned into a chatterbox.

Shen Mingzhu was happy to see the changes in Shen Chaobei.

She also told the couple about her business plan without hiding anything, "...Brother, sister-in-law, to be honest, I came to you today to recruit you to join us and run a food workshop together."
