Moutai was really cheap in those days, with the lowest price being 12 yuan a bottle and the most expensive Feitian Moutai being only 58 yuan. It was because she didn't have the money, otherwise she would have stocked up on ten or eight bottles of Feitian Moutai and put them there. Twenty or thirty years later, wouldn't she have made a fortune?

But then she thought again, a small house is only a little over 10,000 now, wouldn't it be better to buy a house with this money? Unfortunately, she has no money.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Shen Mingzhu made five kilograms of chocolate with wine filling, packed it in a beautiful box, and gave it as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift along with mooncakes.

The next day after the products were delivered, Shen Mingzhu received many calls from relatives and friends who wanted to order chocolates with liqueur fillings. Shen Mingzhu took the opportunity to officially sell chocolates with liqueur fillings at Mingzhu Food Court.

However, in order to avoid commercial disputes, she did not use the name of Moutai liquor, but only advertised that it was a ten-year-aged sauce-flavor liquor.

Zhuang Xueqi ordered chocolates with wine filling in order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with her friends. In order to ensure the best taste, Shen Mingzhu specially made them the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival and personally delivered them to the Zhuang family after they were finished.

After the chocolates were delivered, Zhuang Xueqi picked one at random to taste, and then asked Shen Mingzhu to find the housekeeper to settle the bill.

"Ms. Zhuang, I used Feitian Moutai for this batch of chocolates with liquor fillings, so the price is a bit more expensive."

Zhuang Xueqi nodded indifferently, "I understand."

Shen Mingzhu placed the two boxes of mooncakes she brought in front of Zhuang Xueqi and said, "Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish you and your family a happy family."

Zhuang Xueqi glanced at the mooncake, not paying much attention to it. She said thank you halfheartedly and got up and went back to her room.

Shen Mingzhu settled the bill with the housekeeper and left.

The banker also lives in Mingyuan, but unlike Ningyuan, he does not live on the top of the mountain, but halfway up the mountain.

But even at the location on the mountainside, the scenery is so beautiful that every frame taken is a landscape blockbuster.

Especially the Sun Moon Lake directly opposite, the lake surface is gentle and calm, like a huge mirror. Occasionally, a breeze blows, and ripples are formed on the water surface.

The scenery around the lake is equally pleasant, with willows swaying, birds singing and flowers blooming, it is simply a paradise on earth.

Damn capitalism. These scenic spots that are difficult for ordinary people to even see are just the scenery in front of other people's doorsteps. Who can we complain to?

“Beep beep.”

Shen Mingzhu walked down the mountain, enjoying the scenery all the way. When she heard the car horn behind her, she subconsciously moved closer to the side of the road.

After a moment, a black car slowly stopped beside her.

Shen Mingzhu turned around and saw a familiar face in the lowered rear window.

It was Zhong's mother, whom I met once at the engagement party.

"You are Qingqing's friend, right? You still have some distance to go down the mountain. I'll give you a ride."

Mrs. Zhong had a warm smile on her well-maintained face, and looked very amiable.

It was not at all like what Zhong Qing said, the parents had very strict education and were harsh on their children.

But compared to Zhong's mother, whom she had just met for the second time, Shen Mingzhu obviously trusted Zhong Qing more.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Zhong. I can just walk slowly on my own and take a look at the scenery along the way."

Hearing this, Zhong's mother did not force her. She said a few polite words to invite her to her home and then asked the driver to drive away.

After watching Zhong's mother's car disappear on the winding mountain road, Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. She raised her wrist to check the time on her watch and subconsciously quickened her pace, wanting to go home early to hug her sweet and soft daughter.

…

The next day was Mid-Autumn Festival, and Shen Mingzhu gave all the factory employees a day off as usual.

The factory’s performance is good this year, and the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits are better than last year.

In addition to a box of Ronghua mooncakes for each person, there is also a pound of assorted soft candies, a pound of flower cakes and an assortment box of egg yolk pastries.

These things added up to nearly twenty yuan, and the employees were all very happy.

It was a rare holiday, and Xiao Guoguo was still young and it was inconvenient to take him out, so the family of four celebrated the holiday at home.

Shen Mingzhu was responsible for preparing delicious food, Pei Ziheng helped to look after his sister, and Pei Yang used sponge strips to cover the soft edges of all the furniture, table corners, and stool corners in the house to prevent Xiao Guoguo from accidentally hitting his head when he learned to crawl and walk.

After covering the soft edges of the furniture, Pei Yang took out nails and made a photo wall on the right wall of the living room.

The photos on the photo wall include those from their wedding, ordinary times, and a family photo taken on the day of the full moon banquet.

Pei Yang specially reserved a lot of space on both sides of the photo wall, planning to take a family photo every Mid-Autumn Festival and hang it there.

After finishing the photo wall in the living room, Pei Yang nailed nails on the bedroom wall and hung an enlarged wedding photo.

Looking at the home being decorated warmly bit by bit, Shen Mingzhu's heart was filled with indescribable happiness and sweetness.

The moon is bright in the sky, the golden osmanthus is fragrant, and it is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival again.

On this day last year, Pei Yang returned from the sea with injuries all over his body.

This year, they not only have a cute and lovely daughter, but also live in a big house.

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

Hopefully next year will be better.

…

On the first day of work after the holiday, Shen Mingzhu convened a small meeting of senior executives, with participants including Shen Chaobei, Du Juan, Pei Yang and Shen Hongmei.

When she wrote the profit amount on the blackboard, cheers broke out in the office.

In less than three months, the total sales volume of mooncakes reached 4,567 boxes, with a total profit of 2,740 yuan.

Shen Mingzhu wrote down the goal for next year on the blackboard with chalk: "Next year, we will strive to achieve sales of more than 20,000 boxes and a total profit of more than 10,000 yuan. Do you have confidence?"

"have!"

After setting the goals, Shen Mingzhu also announced the new rules and regulations as well as salary and benefits.

"From last year to this year, in just one year, the number of employees has expanded from five to the current thirty. As we develop further, the variety of products will become richer, and the production scale and number of employees will also expand accordingly. Before that, we must establish a complete management rules and regulations to ensure the orderly and standardized operation of the enterprise."

"Good salary and benefits can not only motivate employees, but also attract outstanding talents."

Several people expressed no objection to this.

After talking about the system and salary, Shen Mingzhu brought up the management training that several of them were going to have.

"I have enrolled everyone, including myself, in a training course on human resources and business management. Starting from the 10th of next month, there will be two-hour courses every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening for a month."

Shen Chaobei was furious when he heard this. "Forget about me and Daya's mother. We didn't study much and we won't understand what they say. It's a waste of money."

Unexpectedly, Du Juan rolled her eyes at him after she finished speaking. "Boss Shen, I'll go. I'm willing to learn more."

Shen Chaobei remained silent.

Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Chaobei with a serious and earnest expression on her face. "Science and technology are developing, and the times are progressing. If you keep standing still, you will eventually be left behind and eliminated."

Shen Chaobei hesitated: "Well, then I'll go and learn it too."

"Not only should you learn, but you should also understand and apply it to your work. This is why I ask you to study."

Several people nodded in unison, Du Juan and Shen Hongmei were particularly excited.

As rural girls, their fate seems to be determined from birth: do farm work, grow up, get married, have children, and raise children.

But now, Shen Mingzhu has put a completely different path in front of them, giving them the opportunity to learn more knowledge and change their destiny. (End of this chapter)
