The cost of exhibiting at the Food and Drinks Fair is high, including travel expenses, labor, food and lodging, and exhibition space, which will cost at least 4,000 yuan.

In addition, her due date is approaching, and she has to take care of the delivery, the food factory, and prepare for the Food and Drinks Fair. She will definitely be overwhelmed.

Another thing is that by participating in next year’s Spring Food and Drinks Fair, she can take the opportunity to promote the Ronghua Mooncakes brand, which will make the investment much more cost-effective.

…

The trade fair will last for seven days, from June 6th to 12th.

Although she failed to become an exhibitor, Shen Mingzhu was still very interested in going for a walk, taking a look and learning some experience.

The trade fair was held in the city gymnasium. It was initiated by the municipal government and it was the first time it was held, so it was quite eye-catching.

The entire venue was packed with people, some were there to stroll around and watch the fun like Shen Mingzhu, and some were companies and individuals who came to purchase.

You wouldn't know until you see it. You will find that there are so many well-known sugar and wine companies in Fengcheng, including state-owned enterprises and large joint ventures. It is understandable that small private enterprises like theirs did not participate.

Soon they arrived at Fushun's booth, and Shen Mingzhu's good mood disappeared instantly.

There was a red banner right above Fushun with the words "Ronghua Mooncakes" written on it, and "Yuan Ronghua Mooncakes" written in brackets at the end.

Many citizens were gathering around to order mooncakes, and an employee stood by and explained loudly: "Everyone, please recognize that our Fushun Cake Factory is the founder of Ronghua mooncakes. Because the trademark was preempted by an outsider, we had to change the name to Ronghua, but it still has the same old taste. In order to give back to new and old customers, all mooncake gift boxes will be 10% off during the exhibition!"

Shen Mingzhu's anger grew rapidly as she watched this.

"Let's go take a look at the front."

Pei Yang pulled her and prepared to leave, but Wang Hongcheng appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of the couple, his face smiling like a rotten chrysanthemum.

"Director Shen, you look so excited that you even came all the way to visit the trade fair. It's such a pity that your food factory didn't get selected for this trade fair."

Although he said he was sorry, his face was full of gloating, and he didn't forget to show off, "Look, this trade fair is so popular. We sold more than 300 boxes of Fushun mooncakes in the past two days, and other products are also selling well."

Shen Mingzhu held her waist with one hand and pointed at the banner and the employee who was shouting with a small loudspeaker, "Mr. Wang, the Ronghua trademark belongs to me. We agreed on this at the beginning. Please take down the banner immediately and stop distorting the facts and making up rumors and slandering others. Otherwise, I will take legal action to protect my reputation and interests."

Wang Hongcheng laughed contemptuously, "Director Shen, it's true that the trademark rights belong to you, but my Fushun Cake Factory is also one of the founders of Ronghua Mooncakes. Your craftsmanship and recipes are good, but if it weren't for my Fushun Cake Factory's packaging, publicity and promotion, you would still be selling things on the roadside!"

"Director Shen, since we have worked together before, I will kindly give you a few pointers. In business, it is not the brand that matters, but the ability and means. Do you believe it or not, even if you put up the Ronghua brand, no one will buy your mooncakes?"

"You're a woman, pregnant, why don't you just stay at home and have your baby? Why do you have to get involved in a man's business?"

Pei Yang said, "It seems that Mr. Wang looks down on women. If that's the case, then don't use my wife's recipe. Make a better one yourself."

Wang Hongcheng's face froze for a moment, then he snorted and laughed, "I spent money to buy the right to use your formula, why shouldn't I use it?"

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Don't you look down on us women for running a business? You look down on us while relying on women to make money. Aren't you cheap?"

Wang Hongcheng was furious, "Who are you calling a slut?"

"I'm calling you a jerk! You look down on me and use my formula to make money by dragging down my brand. You're not a real man."

Shen Mingzhu was still not satisfied after she finished scolding him, and she yelled at the top of her voice, "Aunties, aunties, and sisters, come and see, this boss Wang from the Fushun Bakery looks down on us women, saying that we women should stay at home to take care of our husbands and children, and should not work in public."

In an instant, a group of women gathered around.

"That's right. Women in our new era are no worse than men. They can study, go to college, and work to earn money. Why do you look down on women?"

"Bah, you didn't come out of a woman's belly? Do you look down on your mother?"

There were already a large number of female buyers at the trade fair, and Shen Mingzhu's shout directly turned Wang Hongcheng into a public enemy of women.

Those aunties and grandmas who were originally going to buy Fushun mooncakes and food also gave up the idea and decided not to buy them.

Wang Hongcheng was so angry that his face turned green.

Shen Mingzhu was in a much better mood. "Boss Wang, in three minutes, if the banner and the small speaker are still there, I will go to the reporters and tell them how you cheated me, your partner, out of money. I wonder if a big company like Hengxing will continue to cooperate with you after knowing that you, the boss, have problems with your integrity and character?"

Among the onlookers, a young man listened to Shen Mingzhu talking about Hengxing, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Shen Mingzhu's words were like a grasp on Wang Hongcheng's lifeline.

Although the business at the trade fair was good, the customers were all individual customers, and at most he could only sell a few thousand boxes of mooncakes. Hengxing was his big brother, and he was counting on long-term cooperation with Hengxing. He absolutely could not lose the big picture for the small.

After seeing the banners being taken down, Shen Mingzhu smiled and said to Wang Hongcheng, "Boss Wang, your Fushun business is so prosperous, it must have something special. I will send an employee to guard your Fushun booth when I get back, so that we can learn from you and gain experience."

What I mean is, I will have someone keep an eye on you all day and night, and you won't be able to hang up the banner secretly again.

Seeing Wang Hongcheng's face turn black, Shen Mingzhu walked away, holding her waist and feeling refreshed.

"You're not angry now, are you?"

The trade fair was crowded with people. Pei Yang used his arms to protect Shen Mingzhu from being bumped while talking to her.

Shen Mingzhu snorted softly and was about to say something when something soft suddenly stuck to her leg.

When I looked down, I saw a little girl of three or four years old.

She was wearing a green dress, her big wet eyes were prettier than washed black grapes. She looked up at her with her snow-white face, pouting her little mouth, looking aggrieved and uneasy.

"Auntie..."

The childish voice almost melted Shen Mingzhu.

"Baby, what's wrong? Can't you find your mother?"

"Dad, looking for dad..."

The little girl of three or four years old is simply a pure little angel, even her tears are crystal clear.

Shen Mingzhu took the other person's soft cotton hand, looked around, and after not finding any parents looking for their children, she had no choice but to take the person to the office.

Less than two minutes after the missing person notice was broadcast, a middle-aged man ran in anxiously.

Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but look surprised when she recognized the person. (End of this chapter)
