On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Mingzhi got up early.
As Sister Wang was lighting the coal stove, she saw that she had gotten up so early and said, "Aren't you going home today? It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhi paused for a moment before replying, "I'll go back and have a meal after I'm done with my work."
I really should go back to see my children during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After leaving the family dormitory building, Shen Mingzhi went directly outside the factory.
The platform was set up, but not many people came. There were only small groups of young people gathered together, looking around curiously.
"What should we do? We've been advertising for days, but so few people are coming," Chen Xiao said anxiously.
There are tens of thousands of dollars worth of goods on the table, and he would be happy if he could sell a hundred.
Shen Mingzhi glanced at the traditional Chinese medicine doctor sitting at the table next to her, walked over, looked at him, and then placed the sign for free consultation in front of the table.
A little while later, a girl who loves beauty came over and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of consultation is this? Doesn't your factory produce facial creams?"
"It depends on the skin," Shen Mingzhi replied.
"Why would you let a traditional Chinese medicine doctor treat your skin? Aren't dermatologists the ones who treat it?" the girl asked doubtfully.
“That only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Most skin problems are related to internal organs, and traditional Chinese medicine can also help,” Shen Mingzhi explained to the girl. “Anyway, it’s free, so why not give it a try?”
The girl sat down and placed her hand on the pulse pillow.
The traditional Chinese medicine doctor felt her pulse while examining her face.
"Open your mouth."
After examining the girl, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor said, "Your endocrine imbalance and hormonal disorder are causing the pimple-like pimples on your face. I suggest you get plenty of rest and eat less sweet and spicy food, especially sweet food. This will improve your skin."
"Is it really that simple?" the girl asked, somewhat curious.
"Hmm, you work the night shift?" the TCM doctor asked her.
"Oh, you could tell that?" the girl asked in surprise.
Shen Mingzhi discovered that the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Chen Xiao had found was actually quite skilled.
"You can drink some yogurt to soothe your stomach," the TCM doctor said, then raised his chin to indicate that he had finished examining the patient.
The girl quickly got up, thanked Shen Mingzhi, and then asked, "How much is a bottle of your lotion?"
"One yuan and fifty cents. If you apply it every day, it will last for a month and a half." Shen Mingzhi immediately led her to the counter where the products were displayed, picked up the sample pack next to her, twisted it open, and scooped out a little. "Can I apply it to the back of your hand?"
The girl immediately raised her hand.
Shen Mingzhi applied the product to the back of her hand, gently rubbing it in before asking, "Look, this purple one is perfect for your yellowish skin. You often stay up late, which makes your complexion look bad. This one is to brighten your skin tone."
"Can I put it on my face?" the girl asked.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhi said somewhat apologetically, "It's possible, but your skin isn't really suited for it right now. How about this, you sit down here, and I'll teach you how to use it. I guarantee that if you follow my method, you'll look more than twice as good."
The girl had a smile on her face, clearly not believing it.
However, she still sat down on the chair next to Shen Mingzhi as she had asked.
"Chen Xiao, go get a basin, a new towel, and a bottle of warm water," Shen Mingzhi said to the bewildered salesperson standing to the side.
Upon hearing this, the salesperson turned around and left.
While the girl was waiting, Jiang Huanyu happened to drive by. Seeing the stalls set up at the factory gate, he stopped his car and got out.
Jiang Huanyu is also exceptionally handsome. Most importantly, he wears a suit, polished shoes, and has his hair slicked back, making him incredibly attractive.
And he's also tall.
He has the air of a spoiled young master who is naturally unapproachable.
The girls waiting to watch Shen Mingzhi's performance all looked at him with curiosity, and there was a hint of shyness on their faces.
"I thought you'd surprise me, but this is all? There are hardly any customers at Ren'an Pharmacy today. I doubt it'll last until the end of the year," Jiang Huanyu said.
He greatly admired Shen Mingzhi's intelligence and talent.
Even without department stores helping them sell their goods, her setting up a stall and having a traditional Chinese medicine doctor examine the girl's skin is one way to remedy the situation.
He thought that if Shen Mingzhi lowered her head, he could give her another chance.
After all, PolyGram is a state-owned enterprise, and state-owned enterprises helping each other is also to make the lives of the workers in the factory better and better.
“I find this strange. Why are you so concerned about Ren’an? When Ren’an goes bankrupt is none of your business, Mr. Jiang,” Shen Mingzhi said.
"Don't call me boss." Jiang Huanyu didn't like that title; it sounded like he was dealing with a capitalist.
Shen Mingzhi ignored him.
Feeling humiliated by being ignored, Jiang Huanyu snorted coldly, "I'm here today specifically to give you another chance—"
“The last time we met was our only chance. You have so many chances now, don’t block our way while we’re selling our goods. Please move aside.” Shen Mingzhi saw Chen Xiao carrying a water bottle and a basin, and then ignored Jiang Huanyu.
Jiang Huanyu, who originally intended to leave, became curious about what she was planning to do, so he moved aside and went to watch.
Shen Mingzhi directed Chen Xiao to pour water.
They did not notice that Jiang Shaozhen had also driven over.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so of course he had to find a reason to bring Shen Mingzhi back for a reunion dinner.
Shen Mingzhi, who had wet a towel, asked the girl to cover her face with the towel first.
She took a box of face cream and waited beside the girl for a while before removing the towel from her face.
