Looking at Ning Yuan, who was wearing a dark green silk shirt, suit pants, and pointed leather shoes, Shen Mingzhu walked forward to greet him with a smile.

Ning Yuan pulled down his sunglasses and threw her a handsome wink, "How are you doing recently?"

Shen Mingzhu raised her hand and gestured to the surroundings, "As you can see, I can still make it."

Following her gesture, Ning Yuan looked around the restaurant's decoration, with admiration and interest showing on his face.

"Not bad. I heard that you opened a new store, so I came all the way back from Hong Kong. How is it? Isn't that nice?"

Shen Mingzhu nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Ning, for your kindness."

As they were talking, Yan Yi and Zhong Qing walked into the restaurant together.

Compared to the last time they met, Zhong Qing's belly was bigger and her face looked a little haggard.

Shen Mingzhu hurried forward and supported Zhong Qing from the other side. "It's so hot, and it's inconvenient for you to go out. You should rest at home."

Zhong Qing smiled at her and said, "Forget about others, but I will definitely come to support you when your new store opens."

Yan Yi on the other side leaned forward slightly and greeted her with a smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Shen Mingzhu smiled back, "Welcome you and Qingqing to come."

After a pause, he continued, "I haven't congratulated you yet, but you are about to become a father."

Yan Yi nodded, "Thank you."

She brought the three people to the private room, made tea for them personally, and prepared sweet and sour plum soup for Zhong Qing. Shen Mingzhu didn't have time to chat any more and went out to continue greeting other guests.

Today is the trial operation, and those who have reserved seats are all old customers. I can’t neglect any of them, and I have to find time to go to the kitchen to supervise.

Today's dishes are mostly new, and she was worried that Shen Xiangnan might make mistakes in a hurry.

Busy time flies by.

"Xiao Qian, have all the guests left?"

The waitress Qian Xiuping pushed the food cart into the kitchen, and Shen Xiangnan asked subconsciously.

Qian Xiuping nodded happily, "They've all left. The last table just left. President Shen and Manager Zhu saw them off personally."

After saying this, Shen Xiangnan and the kitchen staff all breathed a sigh of relief.

The first day of trial operation ended successfully.

Shen Xiangnan walked around the food collection cart again and saw that there was almost no leftovers on the plates, which made him feel a little happier.

The guests ate all the dishes, which means they appreciated their taste.

The departure of the guests marks the end of business hours. Everyone goes about their duties and starts cleaning the kitchen and stove, preparing to go off work.

After a while, Julie came in with a smile on her face.

"Hurry up, Mr. Shen will treat everyone to a midnight snack after we finish cleaning up."

The entire kitchen erupted in cheers.

Half an hour later, all the employees of the new store gathered at a roadside kebab shop not far from the restaurant and filled up several small tables in the shop.

She had eaten the kebabs from this restaurant last time and they tasted very good and the meat was fresh.

In this weather, if you are not careful, you will end up eating sour and smelly meat from the previous night, which is simply fatal.

Before the skewers were served, Shen Mingzhu briefly summarized today's work, expressed her gratitude and encouragement to all employees with a glass of beer, and then left early on the pretext of having something to do.

A good manager should learn to keep a distance from employees.

You can neither act superiorly nor confuse your identity with that of employees, thereby losing your prestige.

The trial operation went smoothly in the next few days. Although we encountered many emergencies, they were all successfully resolved in the end.

Shen Mingzhu was particularly surprised by Han Zibin's performance. Whenever she encountered a rude and difficult female customer, Han Zibin would immediately eliminate her.

There's no way around it. Han Zibin looks too much like that superstar. He has the gentle and elegant temperament of a nobleman, is sunny and handsome, and is nearly 1.8 meters tall. Which woman wouldn't be confused when she sees him?

The first was to review and summarize the problems encountered during the trial operation, the second was to formally negotiate with Mr. Tang and sign a formal supply agreement, and the third was to take the self-study exam.

After the self-study exam, Shenji’s new store officially opened.

In order to distinguish the old store from the new store, the old store was renamed Shen Ji Shang Yangchun and the new store was renamed Shen Ji Tian Xiang Yin.

For a period of time after the store opened, Shen Mingzhu would go to the store almost every day to keep an eye on it personally.

Thanks to the care of old customers and Shen Mingzhu and Pei Yang's excellent connections, the new store has been very popular since its opening, with the daily occupancy rate reaching 50% to 60%, and the business of the old store has not been greatly affected.

Shen Mingzhu's heart was finally at ease. She handed over the new store to Julie and Shen Xiangnan, and she shifted her focus back to the food factory.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just two months away, and she has to devote all her efforts to the sales and production of mooncakes this year.

Work is important, but enjoying life is the true meaning of life.

On the weekend at the end of the month, Shen Mingzhu had a rare free time, so she drove Shen Hongmei out for a blind date.

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

The blind date was scheduled to take place on the scenic Sun Moon Lake Island.

The island in the middle of the lake used to be private, but last year it was developed into a scenic area with hotels and restaurants built. After a good meal, you can take a pleasure boat to tour the Sun Moon Lake, and there are also speedboat and boating activities.

In order to avoid embarrassment during blind dates, both parties brought their relatives and friends.

Shen Mingzhu brought Pei Ziheng, Guoguo and Zhao Yun, and the man's side was Chen Liang and his family of three.

On the way there, the three children sat in the back seat and played happily, while Shen Mingzhu chatted with Shen Hongmei to relieve her tension.

"Has Ma Chao contacted you recently?"

"without."

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "See, as soon as he mentioned paying back the money, he disappeared. I couldn't even see him in the examination room."

Shen Hongmei sighed, "It's good this way, from now on everyone can just go their own way."

When we arrived at Sun Moon Lake, there were still about ten minutes before the agreed time.

Shen Mingzhu found a place to park the car. Before getting off the car, she specifically asked Pei Ziheng to hold Guoguo tightly. Then she took Shen Hongmei and the child to buy tickets.

You need to take a boat to get to the island in the middle of the lake. The round trip and the tour on the island cost ten yuan.

Accommodation, meals and entertainment are subject to additional charges.

Less than two hours after buying the tickets, Chen Liang and his group arrived.

While the two sides were greeting each other, Shen Mingzhu paid close attention to Liang Ke'an, Shen Hongmei's blind date this time.

He has a decent appearance and is well-dressed. He is about 1.75 meters tall and is a very handsome young man.

Shen Mingzhu was quite satisfied.

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu had already bought the tickets in advance, Chen Liang seemed particularly embarrassed.

There were three adults, and the three tickets cost a total of thirty yuan, which is not cheap for ordinary people.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have cost you so much."

"It's okay. We're all family. It's rare for us to come out and have fun. The most important thing is to have fun."

"Sister-in-law is right, let's go to the island first."

As he spoke, Chen Liang pushed Liang Ke'an and asked him to walk to Shen Hongmei's side.

In order to ensure safety and order on board, passengers are not allowed to choose their own seats but must sit down in the order in which they board.

Liang Ke'an and Shen Hongmei stood together, and there was a high chance that they would sit next to each other when boarding the ship.

This can be considered as indirectly increasing the opportunities for the two to get along with each other.

Chen Liang's efforts were not in vain. After boarding the ship, Liang Ke'an and Shen Hongmei sat together. (End of this chapter)
