Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Pei Yang couldn't help but take a bite as well, and his facial features were distorted by the sour taste.

"Hiss, it's so sour, how can you eat it?"

Shen Mingzhu took the peeled orange with a bad temper and ate it one slice at a time.

"If you think it's sour, don't eat it."

Pei Yang watched her eat, his face full of doting, "I'll listen to you. If you say you won't reply, then don't reply."

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him and felt much better.

The two sat and chatted for a few minutes, then the phone on the corner table rang.

Pei Yang answered the phone, exchanged a few polite words, and hung up. He turned to Shen Mingzhu and said, "My third aunt called and wanted to buy candy boxes and cake boxes as gifts."

Shen Mingzhu was very happy when she heard that.

Including this call, she has received five or six calls in the past two or three days, all asking about candy boxes and biscuit boxes.

When she had this idea, she did want to test the market reaction.

The effect was better than she imagined.

…

The weather was nice, and after lunch many people moved their stools to sit in the staff quarters to bask in the sun and kill time.

As they chatted, the topic somehow turned to Shen Mingzhu.

"Hey, it's been a while since I saw Pei Yang go out, right? She's not afraid of getting bored staying at home all day."

Speaking of Shen Mingzhu's gossip, Shen Baolan was as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood -

"She caused such a big mess, and even caused her husband and her eldest brother to clean up her mess. How can she be so ashamed to go out now?"

"You can't say that. The accident at the food factory was caused by that black-hearted person. You can't blame her for that."

"That's right. Although the big order with Hengxing fell through, we still sold a lot of sugar. I heard that we sold nearly 2,000 kilograms of sugar."

"Hiss, two dollars and a half per pound, that would be four or five thousand, right?"

Shen Baolan curled her lips, "Just listen to her bragging. Her candy is not an elixir. Does she really think everyone is rushing to buy it?"

"If you don't believe me, forget it. You just can't stand seeing Shen Mingzhu being better than you."

These words touched Shen Baolan's sore spot.

She jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Who wouldn't want to see her do well? If she really made that much money, she would want to publicize it with a bang. Would she still hide at home like a turtle and not dare to go out?"

That's true.

It has been almost half a month since the accident at the factory, and Shen Mingzhu has not shown up. It is quite strange.

Seeing that everyone believed her opinion, Shen Baolan was very proud. Just as she was about to take the opportunity to insult Shen Mingzhu, a voice from the side interrupted her -

"Shuhuan's wife, I'm not like you who has no taboos and walks around with a big belly. I'm very careful and cautious."

Not only Shen Baolan didn't understand what was said, but the crowd around her were equally confused.

The man didn't keep it a secret, "Pei Yang's daughter is pregnant, and she's staying at home to take care of the baby."

"What?!"

The melon seeds in Shen Baolan's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Shen Mingzhu is pregnant? Impossible!"

Seeing her determination, the man insulted her, "We are all women. You can get pregnant, so why can't others?"

Shen Baolan puffed out her belly and said, "I can get pregnant because my man is good, but her man is useless, so how can she get pregnant? Unless she finds a strange man and gets pregnant with a bastard!"

This is not only unpleasant to hear, but also vicious.

Although everyone likes gossiping, it's all just trivial gossip. This person just said that someone was pregnant with a bastard. He lacks moral integrity! Immediately, everyone condemned Shen Baolan.

"You can eat more, but don't talk nonsense."

"What makes you say she's pregnant with a bastard? Do you have any evidence? You're pregnant with a baby yourself, so you should do more good deeds."

"They live together every day and know each other well, but you went back to your parents' home for a month or two. Who knows what you did in the countryside?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her and her belly in a strange way.

Shen Baolan was so anxious that her face turned red and her neck became thick. "You're talking nonsense! I got pregnant after I came back!"

Of course Shen Baolan was anxious. The world was harsh on women. Once she was branded as a bastard, her life would be ruined.

This just proves the saying that you won't know how much pain it hurts unless the knife stabs you.

Shen Baolan shot herself in the foot and was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so she left in shame.

"She is just jealous that Shen Mingzhu has a loving husband and a filial stepson."

"She forgot the time when she stared at Pei Yang and drooled. How shameless."

After Shen Baolan got home, she went back to her room, closed the door, and sulked alone.

Shen Mingzhu was surprised that she made money again, and she earned four or five thousand yuan. She had never seen so much money in her more than twenty years of life.

Last month, Zhou Shuhuan got a promotion and a raise, and now earns 70 yuan a month, but compared to 4,000 or 5,000 yuan, it's nothing.

Not only did Shen Mingzhu make money, she was also pregnant.

Pei Yang was clearly a useless woman, good looking but useless. How did Shen Mingzhu get pregnant? No, she had to find out the truth. If Shen Mingzhu was really pregnant with a bastard, what else would those people say! ...

"Manager Huang, come on, have a drink, and let's put the unhappy things behind us."

In the box, Shi Guangsheng held a glass of wine and tried to persuade Huang Yuan.

Huang Yuan pushed Shi Guangsheng's hand away in annoyance, and the wine in the cup spilled all over Shi Guangsheng. He was not angry, but just flicked it away.

"Manager Huang, I understand how you feel. We are in the same boat. If you are in trouble, I will also suffer heavy losses."

Shi Guangsheng is also a smart man.

The poppy shell inexplicably turned into cardamom, and Hu Guifen was arrested. After he went home and thought about it, he guessed that his plan might have been discovered by Pei Yang in advance, so he deliberately took advantage of the situation and wanted to catch him.

As a result, he had a feud with the food factory.

He knew very well that one must root out the problem, so he found Huang Yuan right after the Chinese New Year and wanted to conspire with him.

Although Huang Yuan was fired by Hengxing, he still had some connections after working in Hengxing's purchasing department for so many years.

If the two of them join forces, I don’t believe they can’t destroy a small broken factory.

However, Huang Yuan and Shi Guangsheng thought differently.

He still wanted to continue to stay in Fengcheng. The food factory had a close relationship with Young Master Ning, so he must have been stupid enough to go and cause trouble for the food factory.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't hate Pei Yang.

Therefore, he rejected Shi Guangsheng's proposal verbally, but in his heart he hoped that Shi Guangsheng would take some action so that he could vent his anger.

Looking at Huang Yuan's back as he rode away on his bike, Shi Guangsheng spat with an unhappy expression on his face, then turned around and went to the parking lot to get his car.

When he was halfway there, a man suddenly jumped out from nowhere and bumped into him hard, and the briefcase under his arm was knocked to the ground.

"You are blind, how can you walk without seeing?"

"I'm sorry."

After recognizing that the person who picked up the bag for him was Shi Yizhen, Shi Guangsheng showed surprise on his face.

"Brother, is that you? What are you doing..."

Shi Yizheng was very embarrassed, "I came to deliver the coal."

Looking him up and down, Shi Guangsheng smiled and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. I just delivered the coal."

Shi Yizhen wiped his face, feeling very embarrassed.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal."

"good."

The place was chosen by Shi Yizhen, a noodle shop that was so shabby that it couldn't be more shabby. There was a strange smell in the shop.

Shi Guangsheng was very disgusted. He ordered a bowl of braised pork noodles for Shi Yizhen and went outside to smoke and get some fresh air.

Outside the noodle shop, Shi Guangsheng opened his briefcase to take out a cigarette and suddenly found something in the bag.

Happy National Day! May our motherland prosper and our people be safe and sound.
