Yan Ruize replied: "It was lucky that it met someone who was willing to help it."

Pei Tang said crisply: "If you want the small fruit seedling to grow into a towering tree, you need to take good care of it."

After listening to the three children's answers, Yan Yi concluded: "It shows that nothing is difficult in the world if one sets his mind to it. Even a sour fruit tree can produce sweet fruit."

At this time, Shen Mingzhu called from a distance: "Guoguo?"

Pei Tang stood up happily, ran to a prominent position and waved in the direction of Shen Mingzhu, "Mom, I'm here~"

Shen Mingzhu came quickly and greeted Yan Yi and his son with a smile. Then she looked at the loquat tree that looked like a giant umbrella with curiosity.

“This loquat tree bears good fruit.”

Yan Yi smiled, "You can pick some to taste."

Shen Mingzhu was not polite and walked forward to pick a big, round loquat that was golden in color.

As soon as you tear open the skin, the rich juice will overflow all over your hands, and take a bite of the flesh, it is so sweet that it fills your heart.

"Mmm, so sweet."

Seeing that she was enjoying the meal, Yan Yi said, "If you like, you can pick more and take them home to eat slowly."

Shen Mingzhu smiled and nodded, "Then I'm welcome."

"Um."

Soon, Zhong Qing and Yan Su also came over.

Yan Yi left tactfully, leaving the two brothers Yan Ruili and Yan Ruize behind to pick loquats with them.

The three adults used scissors to cut the ripe, golden loquats, while the three children carried baskets to fill the loquats.

While picking the fruits, Pei Tang vividly told Shen Mingzhu and others the story he had heard from Yan Yi.

After listening, Zhong Qing was the first to sigh: "Things in the world are so unreasonable. A tree grows into a forest. A person casually throws a seed and it grows into a towering tree and bears a lot of fruits."

Yan Su agreed: "Perhaps the parties involved don't even know it exists."

Shen Mingzhu: "If you don't know, then don't know. It's a good deal for us."

This made the three children laugh.

Not only is the crown of the loquat tree huge, but the loquats it bears are also large and numerous. In just a few minutes of picking, several baskets were full.

A few people simply moved small stools and sat under the loquat tree, picking loquats to eat while resting.

There are always a few sour ones on a tree full of loquats.

Shen Mingzhu was lucky enough to eat a sour one. After taking a bite, she found it extremely sour. She instinctively dug a small hole in the ground with her toes, preparing to bury the sour loquat quietly.

The long-forgotten memories suddenly emerged.

It seemed that she had once buried a loquat here? She turned her head and looked at the loquat tree in disbelief, unable to believe that this was the sour loquat she had casually buried in the grass.

After returning home from a social event in the evening, Pei Yang saw loquats on the coffee table. He picked up two and held them in his hand, peeling them while going upstairs.

In the study, Shen Mingzhu was teaching Pei Tang to practice Wubi typing on a computer.

"dad."

Seeing Pei Yang, Pei Tang shouted happily.

Pei Yang walked over, cut the peeled loquat flesh into two halves, fed half to his daughter and the other half to Shen Mingzhu.

"I won't eat it anymore."

After eating loquats all day, I can see that the loquats are causing stomach acid.

Seeing that she didn't eat, Pei Yang ate it himself.

"Dad, are loquats sweet?"

Pei Yang originally thought loquats were quite sweet, but then he heard that they were from the Yan family.

"It's so sour."

Pei Tang's beautiful almond eyes were full of doubts, "Is it sour? It tastes sweet to me."

Pei Yang reached out and poked her forehead. "How sweet is this? Wait, Dad will buy you something sweeter tomorrow."

"oh."

Shen Mingzhu saw through it but didn't say anything, pretending to be unaware of the man's pettiness.

For the next few days, Pei Yang ran around all the fruit stalls in Fengcheng, but he couldn't find any sweeter loquats until the loquats were off the market.

…

In June, under Shen Mingzhu's vigorous promotion, employees of the food factory gradually accepted and enjoyed the convenience and speed brought by computerized office work.

However, the operating conditions of the food factory are not optimistic.

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

Not only did performance continue to decline, but the number of employees also dropped sharply to less than 400.

You know, at the peak of the food factory, the number of employees in the factory once reached 800.

Such serious staff turnover is enough to prove how bad the current situation of the food factory is.

However, Shen Mingzhu is not responsible for business issues.

After the successful implementation of the office computerization system, she embarked on the next step of reform to improve and perfect the welfare of employees.

Shen Mingzhu's reform mainly focuses on three aspects.

The first aspect is to improve the accommodation environment for employees.

In the past, employees lived in old tube-shaped buildings, with dozens of employees on an entire floor sharing a public toilet and bathhouse.

The improved new dormitories are not only equipped with independent bathrooms, but also independent wardrobes, balconies and ceiling fans.

The second aspect is to improve the food of employees.

The meal allowance has increased from 40 yuan per person per month to 50 yuan, and canteen meal coupons will no longer be issued uniformly, but will be replaced by cash.

In this way, employees can freely choose to eat in the cafeteria or eat out.

The third aspect is to increase the wages of ordinary employees, with the salary increase ranging from 20-30%. Management above the manager level are not included in the salary increase for the time being.

In addition to these three reform measures, Shen Mingzhu also proposed the establishment of a workers' union.

In addition to restraining and managing ordinary employees, the main responsibilities of trade unions are to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of ordinary employees.

At the same time, the union president will also represent ordinary employees and participate in the management and operation of the food factory, even including increasing the shareholding of the food factory.

Not surprisingly, as soon as Shen Mingzhu's several reform measures were proposed, they caused an uproar throughout the factory.

The grassroots employees who benefited naturally applauded, but the management was unanimously opposed.

As Du Juan's assistant, Mai Qiu criticized her move: "Vice President Shen, what the factory lacks most right now is funds and resources. What we need to do is to find a way to improve performance and sales, rather than increase costs and carry out reforms."

"Mr. Du is the general manager, the top manager, responsible for the operation and management of the entire factory. You suddenly set up a workers' union and directly gave them the power to participate in the operation and management. If you don't know, people would think you want to get rid of him and split Mr. Du's power!"

"Mai Qiu, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Although Mai Qiu was scolded by Du Juan, the atmosphere in the meeting room inevitably became awkward and cold.

"Well, let's vote by raising our hands."

Shen Mingzhu ignored Mai Qiu's provocation and spoke out to break the silence.

Du Juan followed up her words and said, "Then let's go through them one by one. Those who agree to rent the new dormitory building, please raise your hands." (End of this chapter)
