Upon learning that the couple had bought a house, Shen Mingzhu felt relieved. After settling down in the hotel, she asked to go and see the new house the couple had bought.

The house is very nice, it is a newly built commercial housing community.

The couple does not have local household registration and can only buy commercial housing.

The price of commercial housing is much higher than that of ordinary residential housing, but the environment is really good and the location is also good.

"The floor is a bit high, take a rest if you are tired."

When going upstairs, seeing Shen Mingzhu was out of breath, Du Juan said considerately.

Shen Mingzhu nodded, holding onto the railing and gasping for breath.

"How did you choose the seventh floor?"

"The lower floors were sold out long ago, and only the sixth and seventh floors were available. If I buy the seventh floor, I can use the platform upstairs. I thought it would be convenient to dry clothes and quilts in the future, so I just bought the seventh floor."

Shen Mingzhu nodded and continued to go upstairs, saying, "If I have some spare money in the future, I can build a sun room on the roof and plant some flowers and plants. It would be nice to invite friends to barbecue and eat hot pot during my vacation."

Du Juan smiled and responded, "That's what I thought."

The house is being renovated. The walls have just been painted and the workers are laying floor tiles.

Shen Mingzhu took a quick look, offered a few suggestions, and then followed them to the couple's rented place.

As soon as I entered the door, Daya came to greet me with her younger brother in her arms.

"aunt."

The little girl has grown a lot taller, her skin is much whiter, her eyes are dark and bright, and she has a high ponytail behind her head. She looks as tender as a lotus tip just emerging from the water.

"She's taller and prettier."

Daya's cheeks blushed when she was praised by her, and she was still as shy as when she was a child.

Seeing Shen Mingzhu's eyes fall on her brother, Daya lowered her head and taught her brother to call people, "Dandan, call auntie."

Dandan is Shen Zilong’s nickname.

Dandan was just over one year old and had the same temperament as Shen Chaobei. He stared at Shen Mingzhu with his black eyes without blinking, but refused to call her aunt.

When Shen Mingzhu reached out to tease him, he stood there motionless, looking a little silly.

"Little sister, you take a good rest at home. I'm going to the company first."

Shen Chaobei put down his things, said hello to Shen Mingzhu and went out.

Du Juan took her son from her daughter and asked her daughter, "Where's Aunt Chun?"

"I went to buy groceries."

Daya replied while taking a clean cup to make tea for Shen Mingzhu, "Auntie, drink some water."

"good."

Shen Mingzhu took it with a smile, put the cup on the coffee table, stood up and took out a large rectangular box from the gifts she brought.

"Daya, here you go."

When she saw the pattern on the box, Daya's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank you, auntie!"

"Take it apart and have a look."

After hearing what Shen Mingzhu said, Daya immediately ran to the sofa, put the box on it and started to unpack it. She was very careful, as if she was afraid of damaging the box.

Du Juan recognized the popular Subor learning machine from the wrapping paper. While teasing her son, she said to Shen Mingzhu, "There's no need to buy these for the children. They're too expensive."

The current price of a Subor learning machine is more than 300 yuan, which is several months' salary for an ordinary person.

Shen Mingzhu held the tea and said, "It's OK if we didn't have the conditions before, but now that we have the conditions, we can't let the child suffer. When you have time, take Daya to buy some learning cards so that the child can learn more. There's no harm in that."

She has always believed in Shen Mingzhu and listens to whatever Shen Mingzhu says.

Daya ran to Shen Mingzhu with the learning machine that she had just opened and still smelled of plastic, like she was presenting a treasure. Her cheeks turned red with excitement.

"Aunt, I will study hard and repay you when I grow up!"

Shen Mingzhu was amused and touched her round little head. "Do you know how to use this? If not, call your brother Ziheng in the evening and ask him to teach you."

"I know how to use it! Li Mengjie's family has this learning machine. I have used it at her house. She is my deskmate and we are best friends!" Daya said happily with a beaming smile on her face.

"Then you give it a try."

"Um!"

Watching her daughter lying in front of the TV cabinet, skillfully plugging the different connecting cables of the learning machine into the TV, Du Juan suddenly felt a little guilty.

Although she had promised Shen Mingzhu that she would treat the two children equally, her energy had been occupied by work and her son in the past two years, and she inevitably neglected her daughter.

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

Although the learning machine is not cheap, it is affordable given their family's current financial situation.

Although her daughter was sensible and didn't ask her family for it, every time she mentioned Li Mengjie and Li Mengjie's learning machine, her tone was full of envy, but she didn't take it seriously.

Thinking about this, Du Juan took the initiative to ask Shen Mingzhu which study cards would be better to buy.

Shen Mingzhu replied: "She can first master the contents of the attached study card, and then delve into the direction she is interested in later."

Du Juan nodded and took note of it.

After lunch, Shen Mingzhu followed Du Juan to inspect the company.

There is only one month left before the branch office celebrates its second anniversary, and this is the first time for her as the boss to come.

The office is located in an office building in the city center, with an office area of ​​about 100 square meters, divided into three areas: employee office area, manager's office and finance office.

Including Shen Chaobei and Du Juan, the total number of employees is ten.

In addition, we rented a factory floor in the industrial park in the eastern suburbs for production and warehousing purposes. The number of employees in the factory and store is 20.

All in all, the branch has thirty employees.

That night, Shen Mingzhu invited all the branch employees to dinner at a famous local restaurant.

In addition, each employee also received a welcome gift.

They are all local specialties of Fengcheng, such as tribute wine, pearl rice and sausages.

The things are not expensive, but they are a good way to win people's hearts.

Sure enough, when she arrived at the branch the next day, all the employees greeted her with smiles and were very enthusiastic about the tasks she assigned to her.

After arranging the preparations for the Food and Drinks Fair, Shen Mingzhu followed Du Juan to Mingzhu Food Court and the department store to inspect the work.

She went to Mingzhu Food House first.

The food court has an advantageous geographical location, with a commercial pedestrian street just across the street. It has a huge flow of customers and its monthly profit is over five thousand.

In contrast, the business of the department store was particularly bleak. There were few customers in the entire building, and it was quiet and deserted.

"Since the beginning of last year, several new shopping malls have opened nearby. Not only do they have a good environment, but they also sell new products. They have taken away at least 80% of the department store's customer flow."

Du Juan sighed.

Who could have imagined that the state-owned department store that was so popular two years ago would be on the verge of bankruptcy in less than two years.

State-owned enterprises lack operational autonomy, managers are used to eating from the same pot, lack a sense of responsibility and enthusiasm, and everyone just muddles along. It is inevitable that they will be replaced by new-age shopping malls with first-class service and richer shopping experience.

After walking around the department store, Shen Mingzhu, under the guidance of Du Juan, came to the counter where Guo Xin was. (End of this chapter)
