"I heard the new production line has arrived at the port and is currently clearing customs." Jiang Shaozhen's expression turned serious. "A price war is about to break out. We don't even know if your new product will be successful. Are you confident?"
After losing, Poly will be in a slump for a long time.
Worse still, they faced market share loss, elimination of high-priced products, and bankruptcy.
Shen Mingzhi, however, remained unconcerned, saying calmly, "Don't worry, I already have a plan. Cosmeceuticals are just the first step; there's more to come..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhouzhou on the small bed suddenly whimpered a few times, and the two of them immediately fell silent.
Once Zhouzhou was sound asleep again, Shen Mingzhi lowered her voice and continued, "Next, I want to bring Baoli's products into every household. Price war? I'd like to see who can last the longest."
Looking at her spirited demeanor, Jiang Shaozhen couldn't help but smile. "You get so excited when you talk about doing business. I really like that about you."
Shen Mingzhi looked at him, a smile playing on her lips, "Don't you think I'm not family-oriented at all, not like those other women, not virtuous at all..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't like doing housework and cooking, but prefer doing business, then you should do it. A woman doesn't necessarily have to be in the kitchen to be considered virtuous. Maybe if my construction work isn't done well, I'll have to rely on my wife to support me in the future," Jiang Shaozhen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhi nestled into his arms.
Jiang Shao Chen put his arm around her waist and said in an even softer voice, "Just do it. I'll take care of things at home. Since I'm asking you to do it, I won't do what others do and then criticize you later. Making money is not easy, especially since you're taking care of Bao Li now. So many people in Bao Li are watching you live a good life. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders, and I feel sorry for you."
"I'm not tired, I enjoy doing this." Shen Mingzhi pressed her face against his chest, feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat. "I will work hard to give you a better life."
"What you're saying... Men used to say that to women, well, my family has changed. But it's good, I quite enjoy it. I have such a capable wife, others are so envious." Jiang Shao Chen's voice was chuckled, deep, husky, and charming.
As night deepened, the two quietly tidied up and prepared to rest. Before going to sleep, Shen Mingzhi checked on the two children again and tucked them in.
Back in bed, as soon as she lay down, Jiang Shao Chen hugged her from behind, his warm breath brushing against her ear: "You've worked hard."
Those three simple words brought tears to Shen Mingzhi's eyes. She turned around, buried her face in Jiang Shaochen's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "With you here, it's not hard."
The next morning, Shen Mingzhi didn't rush to the factory, but stayed at home instead.
Jiang Shaozhen ate breakfast and prepared to take her to the factory.
"I won't go this morning. Anyway, the factory is still operating normally. I'll stay home and spend time with the kids." Shen Mingzhi thought about how her two children were fighting for attention yesterday, and she had actually reflected on it while she was sleeping.
They're so young... but they already know how to compete for attention, which shows that she has indeed neglected them too much.
Before Jiang Shaochen was discharged from the military, she picked out her two children wherever she went.
When going to the fields to dig for medicinal herbs, they always had to be taken along.
Perhaps they didn't know it at the time, but they were aware of it.
Now that she's often away from home, her two children inevitably miss her.
Jiang Shao Chen had just put on his construction site clothes when he heard this, so he took them off again, walked over and sat down next to her. "What's wrong?"
“It’s not anyone else’s idea, it’s just my own. I’m always busy with factory work. Look, the two kids almost fought when they saw me yesterday. I’m just not home enough,” Shen Mingzhi told him.
Jiang Shaochen hoped that she would stay at home and spend more time with the children, but he also hoped that she could do her job well enough to satisfy herself.
“That’s fine, a midday should be enough,” he said to Shen Mingzhi.
Shen Mingzhi nodded, "I'll try to stay home as much as possible when the factory isn't busy."
“When the kids grow up, they can come visit you at the factory. It’s only tough for them for two or three years. It’s okay. If you’re really busy, we’ll take care of them. When they’re old enough to understand, I’ll tell them that Mom is working so hard for their future, for the future of countless families,” Jiang Shaozhen said gently.
Shen Mingzhi thought to herself, "He really has a nice way of speaking."
Each time, it transformed her from feeling guilty into believing that she should do it...
"You keep coaxing me like this, making me feel like everything I do is right...meaningful, and I've forgotten my responsibilities as a mother." Shen Mingzhi smiled sweetly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shaozhen asked with a serious expression, "Am I just telling the truth to coax me? I never lie."
"Alright, alright, you're just being cheeky." Shen Mingzhi punched him lightly.
Jiang Shaozhen is really good with words.
Jiang Shaozhen smiled, pursing his lips.
The two were whispering to each other in the courtyard.
Jiang Qing, who was inside the room, was buttoning her clothes while looking at them through the window. She said to Jiang Guofu, who was still in bed, with a worried expression, "Don't you think Shao Chen is spoiling Shen Mingzhi too much? These two children wait for her to come home every day, they are so eager for her to come home. But she... she only stays for half a day after she comes back, and then she goes to the factory."
"What's there to be spoiled about... She's working so hard at the factory, what's there to be spoiled about... There's a lot going on at the factory... Let her go." Jiang Guofu was confused and his words were also incoherent.
Their son is happy with it, so what right do the parents have to say anything?
"If you spoil and pamper them, the two children won't learn well in the future—"
"Tsk, look at what you're saying. Don't say unlucky things. I think our grandchildren are great. They're smart and will be as capable, responsible, and dependable as their parents!" Jiang Guofu was startled awake by her words.
Jiang Qing finished dressing and took a comb to comb her hair.
Turning her head, she saw he was still on the bed, walked over and slapped him. "I've never seen you spoil me like this when you were young. How come the child you gave birth to is completely different from you?"
Jiang Guofu turned to look at her after being hit.
After watching for a while, he turned back and said, “How could I not spoil you? You want to go dancing and be the lead dancer. I brought a whole troupe of brothers to cheer you on. Back then, we were the loudest.”
"How dare you say that!" Jiang Qing sat down and pinched him.
At this point, Jiang Qing's face turned red. "You idiot, you shouted so loudly, it made me so embarrassed, you know that?!"
"I don't know, and you were quite happy afterwards, weren't you?" Jiang Guofu felt pleasant when he recalled that time.
That day was also the happiest and most blissful day of his life.
He will never forget the way Jiang Qing danced on stage back then, so beautiful and graceful.
