After saying this, Shen Hongmei pretended to eat the eggs as if nothing had happened, but she was extremely nervous inside.

If she wants to start her own company, she must get the support and help of Zhao Dafa.

"So what do you think? Do you want to go back to work?"

The older you are, the wiser you are. Zhao Dafa did not express his opinion directly, but threw the question back to her.

Shen Hongmei pretended to be distressed, "I don't know, I'm very confused."

"Then take a good rest first and think it through. Sister Shen has made arrangements at the factory anyway."

Just as Shen Hongmei was about to nod, she heard Zhao Dafa say, "Actually, work is secondary. You and Sister Shen should have a good talk. Sister Shen is not a petty person. She must have her own intentions for doing this."

Shen Hongmei paused, then responded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll find time to meet her."

"You take a good rest at home, I'm going to work."

After finishing his breakfast, Zhao Dafa patted her shoulder soothingly before going out to work.

Only when the rear of the Cadillac was out of sight did Shen Hongmei go home, change her clothes, put on makeup, and drive her newly purchased sports car to the securities exchange.

On the road, although the sun was very hot, she still opened the roof of the car, wore large sunglasses, and drove through the streets and alleys at lightning speed, attracting envious glances from passers-by.

Three days passed in a flash.

After finishing the work at hand, Shen Mingzhu glanced sideways at the mobile phone next to the water cup and could not help but stare blankly.

Until a hand waved twice in front of his eyes.

Shen Mingzhu came back to her senses and saw Pei Wenping standing in front of the desk. She asked, "What's the matter?"

Pei Wenping put the folder in front of her and scolded: "Why were you sleepwalking? I called you several times."

Shen Mingzhu silently opened the folder, which contained last month's employee payroll.

Pei Wenping's work ability is unquestionable. The table is clear, concise and easy to understand at a glance, but she looked at it for a long time but couldn't read a single line.

She closed the file irritably and said, "Put it aside for now. I'll look at it later."

Pei Wenping stared at her for two seconds, turned around to close the office door, and pulled a chair to sit opposite her.

"Are you going to keep this stalemate with Hongmei? If you want to break the deadlock, one of you has to give in."

Shen Mingzhu was annoyed: "I don't think there is anything wrong with my handling of the matter. Not only did she take leave to trade stocks, she was also absent-minded at work during this period."

"If she was just an ordinary employee, I could turn a blind eye, but she is the manager of the administrative office, and she is in charge of the discipline of all employees in the factory. But she took the lead in not doing her job properly."

"If I handle it with care, everyone will follow my example, and it will be a mess, right?"

Seeing that she was very angry, Pei Wenping stood up and patted her back to calm her down. "Yes, Hongmei was indeed outrageous, but it's not serious enough to suspend her. Even if she was suspended, you don't have to find someone to replace her immediately. You didn't leave her any room for maneuver. What do you think?"

Shen Mingzhu rubbed her forehead. "I was so angry at that time. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be so angry. She used to insist on going to work even when she had a cold or a fever, but now she actually asked for leave to trade stocks!"

"Just give her a break for the sake of her excellent performance in the past. You are the superior and she is the subordinate. It is not shameful to be polite to the virtuous. A prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, don't you think?"

…

After thinking for an unknown amount of time, Shen Mingzhu picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed a familiar number.

"Hello?"

"It's me. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together and chat."

There was silence for two seconds on the other end of the phone. "Okay, let's go to Jinzhao."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing the backlog of work in the afternoon as quickly as possible, Shen Mingzhu packed up her things and called home so that they wouldn't have to wait for her for dinner in the evening.

At this moment, the waiter led her to the large private room on the third floor.

Shen Mingzhu didn't care too much. Jinchao's business has always been good. The small private rooms on the second floor are full, and it is common for them to be arranged to the large private rooms on the third floor.

Pushing open the door of the box and seeing the lively scene inside, Shen Mingzhu thought she had walked into the wrong place and subconsciously wanted to leave, but -

"Pearl!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, who else could it be but Shen Hongmei?

After entering the box, Shen Mingzhu sat down calmly, quickly glanced at the people at the table, and found that they were all familiar faces.

Some of them were junior high school classmates, as well as several female friends that Shen Hongmei met when she took self-study exams and attended training classes.

"This is our important guest tonight, the famous founder of Beautiful Food, Mr. Shen!"

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

Following Shen Hongmei's introduction, everyone at the table raised their glasses to toast Shen Mingzhu.

"Sorry, I can't drink much, so I'll have tea instead. Please help yourself."

Seeing Shen Mingzhu wanted to drink tea, a voice rang out: "That's right, ordinary people like us who have no money and power are not worthy of drinking with a big boss."

Shen Mingzhu looked over in surprise, "Where do you get that from? I don't even know you, your name, what you do, or your family background. How can I talk about whether we are a good match?"

Everyone at the table fell silent.

Shen Mingzhu seemed to be explaining, but in fact, she was making a double entendre.

I'm not familiar with any of you here, and I can't even call out your names, so why should I drink your wine? Shen Hongmei spoke to ease the atmosphere, "Actually, I've met you before, but you're busy, so you may not remember."

"Really? Then why don't everyone introduce themselves, starting with her."

Shen Mingzhu pointed at the person who had just spoken, "What's your name, your education level, your job, and what skills do you have?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the person named by Shen Mingzhu sneered angrily, "You are so funny, am I your employee? You are showing off to me!"

"We are all lucky to be sitting together for dinner. I really want to make friends with you, but since you don't want to, I won't force you. Just eat. I won't spoil your fun."

Seeing Shen Mingzhu get up and leave, Shen Hongmei did not stop her. She smiled and greeted her a few words before chasing after Shen Mingzhu.

"Why are you so angry? They don't mean any harm."

Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Hongmei who was smiling calmly, "I thought it was just the two of us tonight."

"You didn't explain it clearly. I thought it would be more lively with more people, so I specially called them."

Shen Mingzhu looked down at the tip of her shoe, trying to keep herself calm and free of any other emotions.

"Hongmei, do you still want to come back to the factory?"

Shen Hongmei laughed at herself, "Look at what you said. Didn't you suspend my position? And you arranged for Wen Xiaoqin to take over my position. Mingzhu, you must have thought about it a long time ago. Do you really want me to go back?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at her steadily, "Okay, I'll ask you again, do you want to come back?"

Whether to go back or not, the initiative lies with Shen Mingzhu.

Whether to return or not, the initiative lies with Shen Hongmei. (End of this chapter)
