"Yes, what's wrong?" Shen Mingzhi asked with a smile.
"If you leave, I'm afraid other factories will make new moves..." the female worker hesitated.
Shen Mingzhi put the packaging box back on the assembly line. "Let him do what he wants. We'll do it at our own pace."
She walked around the production line, then suddenly stopped and said to everyone, "Although the products are sold in Hong Kong and Macau, I heard that there are overseas customers there, so we can't be careless, because overseas customers are more discerning than those in China."
"yes!"
Back in the office, Lin Xiaoyu had already changed into her work clothes and was organizing documents.
Upon seeing Shen Mingzhi enter, she immediately stood up. "Deputy Factory Director Shen, Factory Director Sun asked me to learn from you first."
Shen Mingzhi glanced at her and asked, "Can you take shorthand notes?"
"Yes!" Lin Xiaoyu nodded quickly.
“Alright,” Shen Mingzhi took out a stack of documents from the drawer. “Organize these product parameters and price lists into English versions. I need them for tomorrow.”
Lin Xiaoyu took the document, somewhat hesitantly, "In English...why?"
Isn't this a domestic product? Why bother with an English instruction manual?
"Just do it, don't ask any questions." Shen Mingzhi didn't reveal her intentions, after all, Lin Xiaoyu had just arrived and she didn't know what kind of person she was.
There have been cases of kickbacks and the sale of trade secrets at the Baoli factory, so she really couldn't tell a newcomer almost everything about her future without reservation.
"Okay..." Lin Xiaoyu could only quickly agree.
She came here because Shen Mingzhi was a female factory manager... She thought female factory managers were gentler and might speak more kindly.
Who knew? The female factory manager is very serious too!
Shen Mingzhi patted her shoulder, "If you don't know how, you can look it up in the dictionary. If you still can't figure it out, then come to me."
Just then, the phone rang.
Shen Mingzhi answered the phone; it was Jiang Shaozhen calling.
"Zhizhi, something came up at the construction site, and I might have to work overtime tonight. I won't have time to pick you up, so remember to go home early." Jiang Shaozhen's voice was somewhat serious.
Shen Mingzhi glanced at the wall clock. "Around what time will you be back?"
"I'm not sure, you guys eat first, don't wait for me." After saying that, Jiang Shaochen added, "By the way, Mom said to remember to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy milk powder after you get off work, the one at home is almost gone."
"Okay, then be careful." Shen Mingzhi's expression softened a bit because of his phone call.
Lin Xiaoyu silently observed for a moment, then opened the letter and began to do her own thing.
In fact, Deputy Factory Director Shen also has a gentle side, but not towards the factory's employees.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Mingzhi left the factory early. It's not as convenient to buy things now as it is later. Shen Mingzhi queued for quite a long time at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative before it was her turn.
"Comrade, two bags of milk powder, please." She stood in front of the counter and said to the sales clerk.
After paying, I took the milk powder and was about to leave when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me, "Deputy Factory Director Shen, what a coincidence."
Shen Mingzhi turned around and saw Jiang Huanyu standing behind her in a sharp suit, holding a net bag containing several cans of food.
"It's quite a coincidence, I seem to run into you everywhere I go," Shen Mingzhi said calmly.
Jiang Huanyu smiled and asked, "You're going to the Canton Fair, what kind of products are you taking with you?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Shen Mingzhi frowned immediately. If Jiang Huanyu's inquiries had reached her personally, did he think he was particularly shameless?
Not wanting to block the road, she carried the milk powder and walked out.
Jiang Huanyu followed her. "Don't misunderstand, I'm here to give you a heads-up."
"What do you mean, 'wake up'?" Shen Mingzhi asked without stopping.
“Although there are foreign merchants at the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, they really don’t care about our products. Ask my father; I’ve taken our medicines to the Canton Fair several times, but they didn’t even glance at them. Logically speaking, with our 5,000-year history, Western medicine can’t compete, and traditional Chinese medicine has a very rich foundation, right? They don’t believe it.” Jiang Huanyu lowered his voice. “Just the year before last, some medicines were actually chosen, but the goods were returned at the port, resulting in heavy losses.”
Shen Mingzhi stopped and looked him straight in the eye. "Thank you for the reminder, but I have my own plans."
Jiang Huanyu shrugged. "Whatever you want. But..." He gave her a meaningful look, "If you mess this up, the losses will be heavy. Our factory will always welcome you and your workers."
Shen Mingzhi's face fell, and she expressionlessly pushed her bicycle.
Jiang Huanyu leaned against the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, watching her get angry at him, and laughed like a smug man.
He was dressed in a suit and was very fashionable, so the women coming in and out of the supply and marketing cooperative couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him.
Jiang Huanyu was good-looking, with the refined features of a wealthy young master, and his every move exuded the elegance of someone from a prominent family.
Unfortunately, Shen Mingzhi couldn't see him like this, and she pushed her bicycle away.
After she rode her bicycle away, Jiang Huanyu stood up straight, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
Why does Shen Mingzhi still refuse to believe that success is impossible?
Back home, the yard was quiet. Shen Mingzhi tiptoed open the door and found Jiang Qing dozing in a rocking chair, while the two children slept soundly in their crib.
She came back early; the children were still napping.
She had just put down the formula and was about to speak when she noticed that Niannian had opened her eyes.
Seeing that it really was her, she jumped up and cried, "Mommy!"
The loud call woke up Zhouzhou as well, and the two little ones immediately perked up, vying to be held by Shen Mingzhi.
"Shh—Grandma is sleeping," Shen Mingzhi whispered, picking up one child in each arm.
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Qing was already awakened. She yawned and asked lazily, "You're back? Did you buy the baby formula?"
"I bought them." Shen Mingzhi put the two children on the ground. "Mom, you go and rest for a while. I'll play with them for a bit."
Jiang Qing leaned back in her rocking chair, looking at the sky, and said, "I found birth control pills in your room today. What's going on between you and Shao Chen? You only had two children and you're already stopping?"
This topic has been avoided countless times, but it still came up... Shen Mingzhi coughed lightly and said, "He said that considering Dad's work, we won't have any more children. After all, we're still implementing the one-child policy. Families like ours should set a good example for the people."
"Come on... His dad's almost retired, and I don't expect him to keep working there. Besides, with the two of you earning money, are you worried about not being able to support us in the future? Let's have another one... Maybe it'll be twins again. Kids are so lucky."
Shen Mingzhi couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have four children... Although they would certainly not face much pressure in the future given their current earning capacity, she simply didn't have the time to take care of them right now.
When two children are between two and seven or eight years old, it's the most troublesome time. If two more little ones come along then... wouldn't that be a nightmare?
