Yan Yi doesn't like going to entertainment places like bars, so the two of them were on the balcony of Yan Yi's residence.

Ning Yuan took two bottles of Romanee-Conti from his old man's wine cellar. On the way, he stopped by Bernardo to pack some dishes to go with the wine.

"Look, one hundred and eighty million. Isn't this a decent gift? Wouldn't she be so touched?"

While drinking, he couldn't help showing off the acquisition contract in front of Yan Yi, feeling quite pleased and satisfied.

Yan Yi took the contract and flipped through it. He paused for half a second at the acquirer column before returning the contract to Ning Yuan and teasingly said, "This is the first time in my life that I've seen you pursue a woman so attentively."

Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Who wants to pursue her?"

"I just wanted to thank her for giving birth to two children for me. This was the first time she asked me for something, and if I didn't give it to her, I would look stingy."

"This is a matter of a man's face. I'm not trying to please her."

Yan Yi smiled and said, "If it's not true, then it's not true. Why are you so anxious?"

Ning Yuan gulped down a big gulp of red wine and tried to save his dignity by saying, "I don't want to be misunderstood by you."

"It's okay if you have no interest in Xueqi."

"What do you mean?"

"Some time ago, I ran into her when I was out having dinner with Qin Hao."

Ning Yuan's body suddenly straightened, "Qin Hao? The prince of Tiancheng Group? Why is she with him? Where did they eat? No, when did they meet? How come I don't know?"

Yan Yi did not comment, "You, as my husband, don't know, so I don't know either."

Ning Yuan choked for a long time and asked again: "So it's just the two of them? No one else? It should be just a coincidence. Maybe Qin Hao is a friend of her friend."

"You have no feelings for her, and you don't like her, so why do you care so much?"

Ning Yuan stood up and walked back and forth, looking very reasonable: "This has nothing to do with feelings, but a matter of a man's dignity. She is nominally my wife and the mother of my child. No matter what, she can't cheat on me in public, right? I don't want to lose face?"

Yan Yi comforted him: "Be patient, life will pass quickly."

Ning Yuan almost vomited blood: "..."

This is fucking shit, I can’t stand it for even a day!

…

It was already eleven o'clock when I got home after drinking with Yan Yi.

Ning Yuan, drunk, knocked on Zhuang Xueqi's door and threw the acquisition contract to her before she could open her mouth.

"for you!"

After Zhuang Xueqi lowered her eyes and read the contents of the contract, a hint of surprise finally appeared on her expressionless face.

"You bought the New Parkview?"

"ah."

Ning Yuan looked up with a smug tone, "Didn't you say you wanted it? I can still afford it in a shopping mall."

That Qin Hao, would he be willing to spend 180 million to buy a shopping mall for you?

Zhuang Xueqi couldn't hear his inner complaints. She stared at him for a few seconds and then cursed, "Are you sick?"

Ning Yuan was a little confused and didn't understand why he spent money and still got scolded.

"I don't want it!"

Zhuang Xueqi slapped the contract against his chest and was about to close the door.

Ning Yuan was quick to block the door with his foot, "No, what do you mean? You bought it because you wanted it, and now that I've bought it, you don't want it anymore? Are you kidding me?"

Zhuang Xueqi looked at him and said, "I just said it casually. Who knew you took it seriously? Are you stupid? Can't you tell the truth from the lie?"

Ning Yuan was speechless.

Although he is a billionaire with countless properties under his name, he actually does not have much cash on hand.

In order to raise enough money to acquire New Parkview, he sold a piece of land, four cars, and several collectibles such as jewelry and watches.

And he did it secretly, like a thief.

When has this young master of a noble family, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, ever felt so aggrieved?

"You can take it or not. If you don't like it, just donate it. Anyway, I never take back the things I give away!"

After saying this, Ning Yuan left angrily.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, he paused, turned back and glared at the closed door, his face getting even darker.

Shouldn't this damn woman be so moved that she burst into tears and throw herself into his arms? In the room, Zhuang Xueqi sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking down at the acquisition documents in her hand.

After a while, she stood up and locked the acquisition documents into the safe. She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window alone, looked at the inky night and smiled.

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

After the National Day holiday, Shen Mingzhu, who was fully revived, devoted herself to work.

Automated production equipment was gradually introduced into the factory. With the new equipment, productivity increased several times compared to the past, but a large number of assembly line workers were no longer needed.

Instead, more operators with professional skills are needed.

To this end, Shen Mingzhu provides free training for employees, signs new employment contracts, and purchases social insurance and pensions for employees.

The current social security and pension system is still in its infancy, and is generally only enjoyed by employees of state-owned enterprises and large groups.

Shen Mingzhu's action of paying social security for all employees in the factory can be regarded as the first response to national policies.

This move made the current employees ecstatic, while those who had left earlier were regretting it so much that they slapped their thighs.

The reason I chose to leave was because the wages at the food factory were too low and I wanted to move to a higher position.

But now, the food factory not only raised wages, but also had to pay social security and pensions for employees.

"Boss Shen, these past few days, many old employees who resigned have been asking if our factory is hiring, saying they want to come back."

"You can tell everyone clearly that there are no plans to recruit this year."

Seeing Shen Mingzhu's confident look, Xia Wushuang suddenly had an idea, "Boss Shen, the large number of resignations in the first half of the year was not part of your plan, was it?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled slightly, "Guess."

Xia Wushuang clapped his hands excitedly, "I guess so! You have long planned to introduce an automated production line, and you also foresaw that the new production line would lead to a surplus of labor. These people cannot be kept for nothing. If you fire them, you will have to pay a large sum of compensation, and it will also be easy to get a bad reputation as a capitalist."

Shen Mingzhu did not comment, "This only represents your personal opinion and has nothing to do with the food factory."

"Yes, yes, this is all my guess, don't take it seriously."

After taking the document signed by Shen Mingzhu, Xia Wushuang turned around with a smile and went outside to work.

Shen Mingzhu closed the pen cap, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the well-organized factory with a knowing smile on her face.

Only when you are in danger can you survive.

Watching the food factory go downhill and letting employees resign and leave was indeed her tactic and means of selecting the best and eliminating the worst.

…

"Boss Shen's methods are endless. She used some tricks to force you to leave before, and now she is trying to win you over. Everyone in the food factory worships her like a god. Even Su Xiangyu and the others are discussing behind her back that they regret leaving the food factory!"

"Boss Du, it's a good thing you left. If you had stayed there, you wouldn't have been able to defeat them with all their tricks."

As usual, after learning that Shen Mingzhu was purchasing social security and pensions for employees, Mai Qiu immediately ran to Du Juan to cause trouble.
