Hearing the boss lady ask this, Shen Mingzhu's heart moved slightly, and she responded, "It's open. It's under construction now. It will open when the construction is finished."

The boss lady asked again, "Have you found a new supplier? If not, why don't we cooperate? I promise to give you good products."

The boss lady's initiative also indirectly shows that Tang Jinshui is really in trouble this time.

This realization made Shen Mingzhu very happy.

However, having learned from her previous experience, she did not give an immediate reply. Instead, she made the excuse that her child was still waiting for her in the car and would discuss the matter in detail with the other party another day.

Seeing her concerns, the proprietress did not force her and enthusiastically helped her carry the things to the car.

Upon learning that Shen Mingzhu had bought lobsters and king crabs, Zhao Yun danced with joy and even the usually aloof Pei Ziheng's face was filled with a smile.

Mom must have heard some good news to buy so many delicious foods.

If his guess was correct, it should be related to Tang Jinshui.

His guess was soon confirmed by Shi Yizhen.

At the same time, he also knew that it was Yan Yi who was pushing the whole thing behind the scenes.

He didn't intend to tell Shen Mingzhu.

He will repay the favor he owes Yan Yi in the future.

He wouldn't give anyone the chance to take his mother away.

…

Seven pounds of king crabs, three and a half pounds of lobsters, two handfuls of white clams and seaweed, two pounds of oysters, a large yellow croaker, and a large plate of spicy crabs filled the table. The family could not finish them all, so Shen Mingzhu called Pei Wenping and Shen Hongmei to come home to eat together.

A table of people were eating a delicious seafood meal while discussing the fate of Hong Tai and Tang Jinshui's gang, and everyone praised the government for doing a good thing.

After dinner, Pei Wenping and Shen Hongmei helped clean up before leaving.

Shen Mingzhu took a short rest and then started to make raw pickled crabs. Pei Ziheng and Zhao Yun helped her.

Even Guoguo was not idle, sitting on a small stool peeling garlic cloves.

When Pei Yang finishes work and comes home, I'll join in.

Busy times always pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already half past nine.

Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Yang to drive Zhao Yun home, and she took Guoguo to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Pei Ziheng took the initiative to take over the task of coaxing Guoguo to sleep, while Shen Mingzhu continued to work in the kitchen.

Not long after, Pei Yang came back.

"Is Guoguo asleep?"

"Yes, Ziheng is with you."

Pei Yang looked at her expression and said with emotion: "Even God is on your side. If Tang Jinshui ends up like this, can you open your store now?"

Shen Mingzhu responded: "We'll open it after they come back from training, maybe before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"That will be soon."

There is less than a week left until Mid-Autumn Festival.

Speaking of Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Mingzhu's heart moved slightly, "I want to discuss something with you."

"You tell me."

…

the next day.

As soon as Shen Mingzhu arrived at the factory, she called Lao Zhu and asked him to go to the seafood market when he had nothing to do and inquire about the news of Shengli Seafood Restaurant, especially the character of the boss and his wife.

Old Zhu took the order and left.

Shen Mingzhu then called Shen Hongmei and asked her to go out with her to do something.

…

"Professor Yan, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Here are the mooncakes I made myself. Please try them. I also wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance."

Yan Yi looked at the mooncakes that had been carefully packaged and gently refused, "Thank you, I don't eat sweets."

"Professor Yan, I know you don't like things that are too sweet, so I only added jujube paste to season it. It's just slightly sweet."

"Don't do these things in the future. My wife won't like it."

After saying that, he didn't care about the girl's mood and just walked around her and continued forward.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Mei Qian sitting on his desk with his arms folded. When he saw him come in, he pinched his throat and teased:

"Professor Yan, just accept this little gift from someone."

Yan Yi casually put the teaching case bag on the desk, walked to the tea cabinet, and asked Mei Qian while making tea: "Have you finished investigating the case?"

"It's still early. There are too many cases involving Hongtai to count. It would be fast if we can sort them all out before the end of the year."

"Then what are you doing here?"

The implication is that when you have free time, spend more time investigating cases and less time hanging around.

Mei Qian clicked his tongue and pointed towards the coffee table, "I'll bring you something."

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

Yan Yi looked over and saw the mooncake box on the coffee table. His eyes paused for two seconds and then he turned to look at Mei Qian.

"Did you buy it?"

Mei Qian picked up the tea he had brewed and blew it while saying, "Guess."

"I don't think you bought it. You're such a stingy person."

Mei Qian didn't like to hear this, even though it was the truth.

"How can I compare with you? You have a rich brother-in-law, and you have a lot of jobs. You are a chief expert, professor, consultant, and you have your own studio. You make a lot of money. Damn, I should have studied medicine. Why did I go to the Public Security University? I work so hard every day that I don't even have time to make a baby with my wife."

Yan Yi held the tea and said lightly: "If you have time to look for objective reasons here, why not go to the hospital for a check-up."

"There are so many criminal police officers who have trouble having children, but you can't. You need to find the reason within yourself."

Mei Qian: “…”

"I can't have children? Are you kidding? I'm so strong, I have such a great physique, eight-pack abs, women can't even walk when they see me, okay?"

Yan Yi did not comment: "As long as you feel happy."

Mei Qian knew that he was not as good at talking as him, so he didn't continue the topic.

"You guessed right. The mooncakes were indeed not bought by me. Someone specially delivered them to the team. Do you know who sent them?"

"I'll give you a hint. It's a woman. A beautiful woman."

Yan Yi took a sip of tea and said, "There are more beautiful women than flowers in the park. How could I have guessed that?"

“It’s about this mooncake.”

His guess was confirmed. Yan Yi was surprised and happy at the same time, but his emotion was not visible on his face.

Mei Qian observed Yan Yi carefully.

He has handled countless cases and has studied psychology on his own. He is particularly good at observing people's micro-expressions to judge whether a person is lying and what he is thinking.

In front of him, all criminals have nowhere to hide, but he just can't see through Yan Yi's thoughts.

He remembered that the last time Yan Yi asked him to help interrogate someone, it was also related to this food factory.

His intuition told him that his brother had some connection with Ms. Shen.

"Early this morning, the owner of the Meihao Food Factory personally delivered 1,000 boxes of mooncakes to the police station, saying that it was to express his condolences to all police officers and to thank the front-line police officers for their efforts and contributions in maintaining the safety of the people of the city and combating criminal activities."

"You are now also a member of the Public Security Bureau, so of course you have a share of this mooncake. But you don't eat sweets, that's okay, I love helping others the most, I'll help you eat this mooncake."

Having said that, he put down the teacup and was about to leave with the mooncake.

"It's a rare visit, let's have a meal together."

"Your treat?"

"Well, there's a new lamb chops restaurant on Central Street, and they taste pretty good."

Mei Qian loved eating mutton the most in his life, so he didn't even bother to pick up the mooncakes and just pulled Yan Yi to leave.

Any delay is disrespectful to Lamb Chops. (End of this chapter)
