"Humph, I won't agree to them having a third child!"

Looking at his own sister who was as angry as a little puffer fish, she was obviously still a little girl, but she was pretending to be an adult. She was so cute that Pei Ziheng wanted to collect her.

He coaxed in a soft voice: "Guoguo, be good, don't be angry, I think the same as you, I don't want any more brothers and sisters."

Although Pei Tang was happy to hear that her brother was on her side, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"What if mom and dad insist on having a baby?"

"Won't."

"How do you know?"

Pei Ziheng patiently analyzed with her: "If Mom wanted to have a brother or sister, Dad would not ask you for help."

Pei Tang suddenly realized, "Yeah, look how stupid I am!"

The cute look made Pei Ziheng laugh so hard.

Only in front of his sister and mother could he smile so brightly.

…

On Monday, after the morning meeting, Du Juan took the initiative to find Shen Mingzhu.

"Do you have time? I want to talk to you."

"OK."

This time, the two went to Shen Mingzhu's office.

Seeing the rose tea in front of her, Du Juan smiled and said, "After so many years, your taste is still the same as before."

“Preferences are not something that can be easily changed.”

“Yeah, making changes is not an easy thing in itself.”

Hearing the other party's double meaning, Shen Mingzhu smiled faintly, "Let's talk about business, what do you want to talk about?"

"Two things. Let's talk about personal matters first. Dandan was rude to you at Guoguo's birthday party. It was because I, as a mother, failed to discipline him. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Shen Mingzhu nodded, "I accept."

Perhaps because Shen Mingzhu responded too quickly and was too calm, Du Juan was silent for a few seconds before speaking again: "I won't hide it from you. I still find it hard to understand why you rejected Rosen's investment, but it's done and there's nothing to say. I just complained a few times when I talked to Dandan's father in private, but please believe me, I have no ill will towards you."

"I believe you, sister-in-law. After so many years, I still know you well."

"The other thing is to report to you about the recent situation of the food factory."

Du Juan put down the tea in her hand and handed her several documents that she had brought with her.

"Take a look at these first."

As Shen Mingzhu looked down and flipped through the documents, she briefly described the recent situation of the food factory: "Compared with last year, the number of employees has dropped by more than 50%, and the number of distributors has dropped by nearly 70%. The performance is even more terrible, less than one-tenth of last year."

"So far, the total loss this year has exceeded three million. The funds in the company's account are barely enough to pay last month's salary."

As she spoke, Du Juan carefully observed Shen Mingzhu's expression.

She really wanted to know how the founder and major shareholder would react after learning about the food factory's shockingly poor performance.

To her disappointment, Shen Mingzhu did not show any anxiety or uneasiness.

Three million is just the price of half a car for the other party.

Du Juan lowered her head with some self-mockery and took a sip of rose tea.

A few minutes later, Shen Mingzhu closed the document in her hand and said to Du Juan in a soothing tone: "I will find a way to solve the problem of financial difficulties."

Du Juan looked at her, her expression revealing a firm determination and relief.

"The food factory became what it is today during my management. Ultimately, it's because of my incompetence as the general manager, so..."

Du Juan handed the last folder in her hand to Shen Mingzhu, "This is my resignation letter. I have decided to resign from the position of general manager."

Shen Mingzhu took the file but did not open it. "Sister-in-law, I can sympathize and understand your pressure. You have worked hard in the past few years. You should take a break for a while, go out for a walk, and relax."

Du Juan shook her head. "This is a decision I made after careful consideration. I hope you will approve it."

"Sister-in-law, your contribution and dedication to the food factory from a small workshop to its current size is no less than mine. Do you really want to give it up?"

Du Juan took a deep breath and said seriously, "Yes, I've thought about it. I know that with you here, the food factory will not collapse like this, but I'm tired of it."

"I don't want to live under your wings all my life. I also have my own ideals, aspirations and ambitions. In addition to resigning from my position, I also want to withdraw my shares. It would be best if you agree. I also don't want the shares of the food factory to fall into the hands of outsiders."

The last sentence has already shown Du Juan's determination to leave the food factory.

Shen Mingzhu picked up the somewhat cold rose tea and gently rubbed her fingertips along the bottom of the cup. "In this case, let's talk business. Sister-in-law, how much do you want to transfer your shares for?"

"My psychological price is 10 million."

When the food factory was first established, Shen Mingzhu gave Du Juan and Shen Chaobei 20% of the shares and an additional 5% of dry shares.

Later, Shen Chaobei wanted to withdraw his shares, and Du Juan's shareholding became 15%, plus 5% dry shares.

Later, Pei Wenping invested in the food factory, and Du Juan's shares became 13% plus 5% dry shares.

After Du Juan took over the position of general manager, Shen Mingzhu directly gave 5% of the shares to Du Juan.

Currently, Du Juan holds 18% of the shares, making her the second largest shareholder after Shen Mingzhu.

If the food factory was performing at its peak, the 18% stake would indeed be worth 10 million.

But now, with the food factory suffering losses and going downhill, this 18% stake really cannot be sold for 10 million.

"Sister-in-law, can I ask what you are going to do with the 10 million?"

"Fuwang Foods is preparing to enter the mainland market. They need a person in charge of the China region. I plan to cooperate with Fuwang to build a factory."

Shen Mingzhu smiled knowingly, "No wonder."

Fuwang is an old pastry brand in Macau with a history of nearly a hundred years. It mainly sells desserts such as egg rolls, almond cookies, meat floss biscuits, and egg cakes.

"I agree to buy your shares for 10 million, but I need some time to raise the money. Can we do the transaction in a week?"

Du Juan nodded, "Okay, are you going to find someone to take over my job, or do you want to take it over yourself?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Given the current situation of the factory, I don't think anyone else would be willing to take over. I'd better do it myself."

"Then I'll go back and sort it out and hand the work over to you as soon as possible."

"Um."

After watching Du Juan leave, Shen Mingzhu sat for a long time without moving.

Finally, this day has arrived.

She was not unaware of the fact that Liang Xian from Fangda International was in contact with Du Juan.

Fangda International is a well-known headhunting company that specializes in finding senior management talents for outstanding companies.

As a friend, Du Juan has a better place to go and better development, and she should be happy for him.

But as partners, after ten years of sharing weal and woe, they are now facing separation, and inevitably feel reluctant and sad. (End of this chapter)
