Early the next morning, she drove out in her sports car to look for a suitable store.

In today's economy, large appliances such as televisions, refrigerators and washing machines are still considered luxury items for ordinary families. One unit costs thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. An ordinary family would have to think twice before buying one.

Shen Hongmei borrowed Shen Mingzhu's entrepreneurial ideas and also wanted to make money from the rich, so she planned to open a high-end and tasteful specialty store.

If you want to open a store like this, you not only need a good location, but also a large enough area.

Fortunately, she had enough money now and quickly found a suitable store.

The store is located in a bustling business district, with two floors, a total area of ​​about 300 square meters, and a commercial building upstairs.

Shen Hongmei had everything planned out. She would use the store as a showroom and retail space, and rent two offices upstairs to be used for office, large business and warehousing.

After some bargaining, the two-story shop facing the street and the two office buildings upstairs with a total area of ​​about 200 square meters had a total annual rent of 300,000 yuan.

Shen Hongmei refused to accept Zhao Dafa's funding, and as she had not sold all her stocks yet, she had no choice but to pay a deposit to reserve the store, and then sign a formal contract and pay the rent after she sold the stocks on Monday.

Shen Hongmei finished all these tasks in just one weekend.

Early Monday morning, she first called her broker Xiao Pan and reminded him to sell all her shares as soon as Founder resumed trading today.

Afterwards, she drove to the food factory to complete her resignation procedures.

When she arrived at the factory, it was just past 9:15, the working hours, but the office area was empty.

There is a regular meeting every Monday morning, and all the office staff go to the conference room for the meeting.

Wen Xiaoqin was the only one in the entire administrative office.

She had received instructions from Shen Mingzhu in advance and stayed in the office to handle the formalities and handover for Shen Hongmei.

"Sister Hongmei, you're here!"

The moment she saw Shen Hongmei, Wen Xiaoqin stood up to greet her with a smile, but her address changed from Manager Shen to Sister Hongmei.

Shen Hongmei didn't care.

She prefers the title of Mrs. Zhao to Manager Shen, and when her company is established, she will be on an equal footing with Shen Mingzhu and be respectfully addressed as "Manager Shen."

"Sister Hongmei, are you ready to go home and enjoy your life?"

While handling the formalities efficiently, Wen Xiaoqin did not forget to try to get close to the man.

At this time, she was unaware of the rift between Shen Hongmei and Shen Mingzhu, and she was still fantasizing that Shen Hongmei could say a few good words for her so that she could remove the "acting" label from her title and be promoted to the head of the administrative office.

"What kind of blessing is this? I plan to start a small business of my own."

Wen Xiaoqin couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard Shen Hongmei say this.

There has been a lot of speculation in the factory about Shen Hongmei's "vacation" in the past few days. Most of the speculations are that Shen Hongmei is pregnant and is preparing to go home to recuperate.

After all, Shen Hongmei is quite old and this is her first child. If she gives birth to a son, she will own half of the Zhao family's property in the future. Why would she still need to work?

However, Wen Xiaoqin reacted very quickly, "Oh, Sister Hongmei, congratulations, with your ability and skills, you will definitely be able to accomplish great things."

"I'll borrow your good words."

Shen Hongmei smiled faintly, her expression inadvertently revealing a sense of superiority over her inferiors, "I also want to congratulate you in advance. After I leave, you will be the only one who can take charge of the administrative office."

"No, our administrative office is full of talented people. I'm just lucky and have more experience than them."

Wen Xiaoqin was modest in words but very happy in her heart.

Especially when I heard Shen Hongmei say, "If I were to choose, I would definitely choose you."

Wen Xiaoqin was so happy that she couldn't suppress her smile. "Sister Hongmei, to be honest, I'm reluctant to let you go. I've learned a lot from working with you for so many years. Even my parents praised me for my growth."

"This is also because you are willing to learn."

With the two people praising each other, the resignation procedures and work handover were completed smoothly.

Wen Xiaoqin enthusiastically wanted to see Shen Hongmei off.

The two had just walked out of the office when the morning meeting ended. The employees walked out of the meeting room one after another and returned to their respective workstations.

At the meeting, Shen Mingzhu announced the news of Shen Hongmei's resignation.

Shen Hongmei ignored the looks of others and said to Wen Xiaoqin, "Xiao Wen, you don't have to see me off. I'm going to say hello to Mingzhu."

Hearing what Shen Hongmei said, Wen Xiaoqin nodded quickly, "Okay, Sister Hongmei, please do as you please. I'll go back to work."

Knock knock.

"Come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Mingzhu answered without even raising her head.

Shen Mingzhu didn't raise her head until she saw a pair of pink high-heeled shoes.

"sit."

She stood up and greeted Shen Hongmei with a smile, "Tea or coffee?"

Shen Hongmei stroked the hem of her skirt and sat down on the sofa, smiling at her, "Actually, you don't have to be so polite. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

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

Shen Mingzhu didn't comment, "Have you completed the formalities?"

"Um."

After a pause, he took the initiative to talk to Shen Mingzhu about his plan to start a company.

I didn't want to say it before because I was afraid that Zhao Dafa would not support me. By the time I boasted about it, I would not be able to put it into practice. I didn't want to be looked down upon by Shen Mingzhu.

"I went to see the store this weekend. It's on Taiyuan Road. You're welcome to come and support it when it opens."

"Okay, let me know in advance so I can arrange the time."

Shen Hongmei looked at her: "Don't you even ask me what I'm going to do?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "You are not a novice who knows nothing. You must have made a thorough plan and plan in advance. There is no need for me to say anything."

Shen Hongmei laughed at herself, "We are still estranged after all. You used to be like your own sister to me."

"You also said it was in the past. You used to be my employee, but now you are Mrs. Zhao, the future Mr. Shen."

The conversation was not going well, so Shen Hongmei tactfully stood up and said goodbye, "I won't disturb you from work, I just came over to say hello..."

Before he could finish his words, the mobile phone in his bag rang.

Shen Hongmei originally wanted to answer the call after going out, but then she guessed that it might be her agent Xiao Pan calling, so she subconsciously took out her phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Mrs. Zhao, Fangzheng resumed trading ten minutes ago. I followed your instructions and listed all the stocks under your name."

Shen Hongmei breathed a sigh of relief, "How much did you sell?"

When she asked this question, she couldn't help but look at Shen Mingzhu.

Shen Mingzhu lost more than 2 million yuan in stock trading, but she made more than 1 million yuan...

“No one has taken over yet.”

The words of agent Xiao Pan were like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

Shen Hongmei's smile froze, "What's going on?"

"Although Founder has resumed trading, its share price has plummeted by two percentage points and is still falling. Investors are waiting and watching."

When Shen Hongmei heard that no one wanted Founder’s shares, she suddenly panicked.

She has an appointment with the landlord to sign a contract and pay the rent tomorrow. If she can't sell the stocks, where can she find 300,000 yuan? "What's wrong?" Shen Mingzhu asked with concern.

Shen Hongmei looked over subconsciously, met Shen Mingzhu's bright and indifferent eyes, and subconsciously wanted to ask for help.
