There were three finger-sized bird eggs in the bird's nest. Guoguo was so happy that he danced with joy and completely forgot about the rabbit to be slaughtered.

Shen Mingzhu was both relieved and worried.

I am relieved that my daughter can let go of things and not get stuck in a rut. I am worried that she will develop a fickle nature and only be interested in things for a short period of time.

…

At noon, the whole family sat around the dining table, except for Jia Yuemei and her daughter.

Shen Jianguo looked at the second son, Shen Xiangnan, and said, "Where's your Yuemei? Call her to eat."

"She said she didn't want to eat."

The whole family looked at Shen Mingzhu.

Jia Yuemei was angry about Qiao not going out to eat, obviously because she was scolded by Shen Mingzhu before.

Qin Jinlian said: "Mingzhu, go call Yuemei."

This is to let Shen Mingzhu give Yuemei a way out.

"Eat it or not, I'll eat first. I have to go back early after eating because I have something else to do in the afternoon."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish belly meat, peeled off the fish skin and fed it to his daughter's mouth.

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was unwilling to go, Shen Jianguo poked his wife's arm and said, "Go and ask her to come out for dinner."

Qin Jinlian got up and went to the west room.

She came out after a while, with a happy look on her face. Jia Yuemei followed her, holding her daughter.

"There is a happy news, Yuemei is pregnant."

The whole family looked at Jia Yuemei, but Shen Mingzhu didn't even raise her eyebrows, and continued to concentrate on cutting the fish for her daughter.

Guoguo loves eating fish. She can eat half a pound of fish by herself.

Both the Shen family father and son were very happy, especially Shen Xiangnan. His family business was now successful and he just needed a son to carry on the family line.

"How long have you been pregnant?"

Jia Yuemei wasn't sure either. She just relied on her body's reactions and experience to determine that she was pregnant. She hadn't had time to get a check-up yet.

She didn't dare go to the town for a check-up, fearing that she would be forced to have an abortion by the JSB people.

Originally, she wanted to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival to go to the city for a check-up before talking about it, but today, Shen Mingzhu scolded her for being greedy, and she couldn't bear it, so she had to bring up the matter in advance.

"Little sister, it's not me who is greedy, it's your nephew who wants to eat rabbit meat." Jia Yuemei touched her stomach and tried to make amends for herself.

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "If that's the case, you should thank me. The older generation said that you can't eat rabbit when you're pregnant. If you eat it, your baby will have a cleft lip."

Qin Jinlian agreed repeatedly, "That's right, Yuemei, you can't eat rabbit meat, and you can't eat mutton either."

Jia Yuemei was annoyed, but couldn't refute.

Shen Mingzhu sneered in her heart.

She didn't believe these things, but she didn't mind using them to cause trouble for Jia Yuemei.

Today was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Jia Yuemei was pregnant with the good news, which added to the joy. Shen Jianguo was the happiest one, and he dragged Shen Xiangnan and Pei Yang to drink a lot of wine.

After dinner, Shen Mingzhu left, not wanting to stay at her parents' home any longer.

…

On the way back, Shen Mingzhu was driving. Pei Yang drank a lot and dozed off in the passenger seat. The two children sat in the back seat.

When they got home, Shen Mingzhu opened the back door of the car first and carried her daughter, whose face was rosy from sleeping, back home.

He waited until his daughter was settled before coming out to call Pei Yang.

After calling her several times, Pei Yang finally opened his eyes. After glancing at her, he turned his head to the other side and closed his eyes again. His cheeks were lightly pink due to the effect of alcohol, and he looked inexplicably childish.

Shen Mingzhu couldn't lift the big man, so she simply lowered the seat and let him take a nap in the car.

"You don't care about me anymore?"

His voice was heavily reeking of alcohol, and also contained a hint of grievance.

Shen Mingzhu bent down and tapped the tip of the man's nose, "I called you, but you didn't wake up."

"Then couldn't you yell a little longer?"

The man looked at her drunkenly, "Liar."

"How am I a liar?"

"When you say you love me, you are just trying to coax me. In this family, you love Ziheng the most, then Guoguo, and finally me."

Shen Mingzhu didn't expect the man to say this and didn't know how to react for a moment.

However, Pei Yang took her silence as consent, and the grievance on his face became even stronger. He pulled her into his arms with force, and his arms clamped her waist like iron clamps.

"Why can't you love me the most? Am I not good enough for you? I will do whatever you want. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Shen Mingzhu suddenly realized that her earlier joke about asking the man to act as a cushion for her son had hurt him.

In the relationship between the two, the man has always been the one who gives the most, so he also wants to get the same return from her.

She softened her voice and coaxed, "Let's go home first, okay?"

"I won't go back unless you say you love me the most."

"I'll tell you when I get back."

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

"Well, I won't lie to you."

After much persuasion, the man was finally coaxed back home.

While turning around to make a cup of honey water, Pei Yang fell asleep leaning on the sofa, his slightly wrinkled brows showing his unhappiness and depression.

Shen Mingzhu went back to her room and took out a pillow and a thin blanket.

After settling the man down on the sofa, she gently smoothed out the wrinkles between his brows with her slender white fingertips.

…

The first thing to do when I go back to work after the holiday is to hold a meeting.

At the meeting, Shen Mingzhu wrote the revenue for the entire Mid-Autumn Festival on the blackboard.

Currently, the food factory has three business segments. The first is the retail of snacks, such as Mingzhu spicy strips and potato chips; the second is Mingzhu Food Court, which sells freshly baked snacks; and the third is the sales of Ronghua mooncakes.

In the third quarter, the sales volume of Ronghua mooncakes was far ahead, which was twice the total of Mingzhu Snacks and Mingzhu Food Square in the first three quarters of this year.

"This year, we sold a total of 58,768 boxes of mooncakes, just a little short of the expected target of 60,000. This is a 47% increase over last year, which is a very good result. I would like to thank everyone here. It is your steadfast efforts that have made the food factory achieve today's results."

"I am a layman and don't like fancy things. This month, everyone can get an additional 10% bonus on top of their original salary. This is my sincerity and my gratitude to everyone."

The applause lasted for a long time.

In fact, the money is not much. The average salary of ordinary employees is around 60, and 10% is only 6 yuan, but it is enough to inspire and encourage people and let everyone see hope.

After the staff meeting, Shen Mingzhu called a small meeting with office staff.

After one year's development, the department configuration of the food factory has become more complete.

It is divided into five major departments: General Manager's Office, Human Resources Department, Finance Department, Production Department and Marketing Department. There are nearly thirty employees from the five departments, including the team leaders of the Production Department, filling the 30-square-meter conference room.

Looking at the happy faces, Shen Mingzhu's expression turned serious.

"We encountered an unprecedented crisis in mooncake sales this year, and lost nearly 90% of our old customers. One reason for this was the strength of our competitors, but another important reason was that there was a traitor in the factory."

Shen Mingzhu's words were like cold water dropped into a frying pan, and the conference room exploded instantly. (End of this chapter)
