Shen Mingzhi was not worried at all. Now the factory was being run by national leaders. As long as she achieved political success, the factory would naturally find a way to help her.
Moreover, policies change rapidly these days; what's non-compliant today might be compliant tomorrow.
"Keep a close eye on the pharmacy. Whether it's profitable or not, protect the brand first. As for the factory, it's just me and Comrade Shen. If I make money, you'll get your allowance." Li An was worried about Shen Xiuzhu, and besides, he was greedy. If something went wrong, he would take the blame.
The Shen family's son is precious; we can't let him take risks.
"Okay..." Shen Xiuzhu felt extremely bored.
Shen Mingzhi's task this time is to apply an eyebrow pencil, a lipstick in various colors, and foundation to her face.
Although she had the formula, this was in the 1980s, when various technologies were still lagging behind, and many state-owned equipment relied on imports from abroad.
Even Shen Mingzhi couldn't be sure whether the factory could produce the formula she possessed.
In the evening, as soon as Jiang Shaozhen returned to the courtyard house, he took a shower and then pulled Shen Mingzhi into the room.
“I heard from Sister Wang that two of your business partners came to see you today. Didn’t you say you wanted to cooperate with a chemical factory? I won’t ask how you’re going to cooperate. Here’s the savings book I got from Dad.” He helped Shen Mingzhi sit down in a chair and opened the cabinet in front of her.
Shen Mingzhi didn't take the bankbook he handed her. "Let's keep this money for now. I have some on hand. What if we lose it all? Will we still be able to live?"
Although the more principal you have, the more money you will make in the end, if there are any uncertainties and you go all in, the entire Chiang family will be left with nothing if something goes wrong.
"Take it. The Jiang family still has me, right?" Jiang Shaozhen stuffed the bankbook into her hand. "I believe you have your own judgment. Keep this bankbook for yourself. In case you need emergency funds, having money on hand will help you negotiate with others, won't it?"
Shen Mingzhi took the passbook and opened it. She discovered that the Jiang family had saved up a considerable amount of money bit by bit.
There are about 50,000 left.
She herself has more than 20,000.
"Shaochen, thank you," Shen Mingzhi said sincerely.
In this day and age, 50,000 yuan is equivalent to 5 million yuan... She put all her money into business and wasn't worried at all.
With Jiang Shao-chen's savings account as a safety net, she felt much more confident.
"You gave yourself to me wholeheartedly last night, and I have nothing else to give you but some financial support for your business." Jiang Shao Chen's ears were slightly red, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes as he said this.
Shen Mingzhi thought to herself, "He's like a wild beast in bed, but how come he becomes so innocent off the bed?"
However, she still asked Jiang Shaozhen, "Maybe I'll lose all this money if I take it, would you still be willing to give it to me?"
“There are gains and losses in business, and you’re so smart, you’re sure to make money.” After saying that, Jiang Shaozhen pulled her up again. “By the way, I’ve drawn a few diagrams. Can you give me your opinions?”
"What picture?" Shen Mingzhi asked as he carried her by the waist as they went out.
Jiang Shaozhen frequently turned his head to look at her.
Shen Mingzhi looked stunning in her cheongsam, her figure curvaceous and elegant, the pearly white color making her appear as rich and noble as a pearl.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Mingzhi's cheeks flushed as he stared at her.
"My wife is beautiful." Jiang Shao Chen said, then looked away.
Shen Mingzhi smiled as the two sat down in the courtyard, and Jiang Shaozhen spread out the blueprints he had brought back.
"Building a house?" Shen Mingzhi understood immediately.
"I talked to the county committee about the new rural reconstruction you mentioned, and they were very supportive of my idea to change the environment of the villages around Beijing. They said they were willing to give me a loan!" Jiang Shaozhen said with a look of delight in his eyes.
Shen Mingzhi carefully examined the blueprints, looking at them one by one. She frowned and said, "These houses still don't have any special features. Go get some paper and pen, and I'll draw some pictures for you."
"You can draw?" Jiang Shaozhen asked in surprise.
Shen Mingzhi had a lot of experience in her past life, including drawing pictures, so she had some basic art skills.
Jiang Shaozhen took out paper and pen, and Shen Mingzhi began to draw house design plans, as well as road designs and surrounding amenities.
She drew quickly, and it was a simple sketch, the main point being to make Jiang Shaozhen understand what she was drawing.
Jiang Shao Chen's eyes lit up as he watched her finish drawing. "The surrounding amenities you mentioned are actually like this! This will not only make life more convenient, but it will also boost the economy. You're so smart."
Shen Mingzhi was embarrassed by his praise.
What's it like to have a husband who constantly praises you?
She only drew the basic facilities of the commercial buildings behind them.
Jiang Shaozhen stood in the courtyard, examining the blueprints.
Shen Mingzhi leaned back in her chair, looking at him—tall and handsome—and thought that her current life was pretty good.
After reading it, Jiang Shaochen said to her, "You're really smart. I never thought you could do that."
“Once you finish this project, you can show it to me if you have any new projects in the future, and I’ll give you some advice.” Shen Mingzhi said with a smile in her eyes.
Seeing her smiling face, Jiang Shaochen couldn't help but lean closer and kiss her lips. "Then I'll take some of the money I earn to support the family, and the rest will be for you to do business with."
“Why do I need so much? I’m not a money-devouring beast, only eating money and not making money, right?” Shen Mingzhi pushed him away.
After dinner, Shen Mingzhi took a shower and was reading on the bed when Jiang Shaozhen, wearing only a pair of pants, got on the bed and pounced on her.
"Will prices rise again tonight?" he asked.
Shen Mingzhi blushed. After all, she was still pregnant, and Jiang Qing had been taking care of both children for the past two days, feeding them formula. She hadn't had a chance to feed them... which benefited Jiang Shaochen last night.
"Isn't the child going to eat?" She pushed Jiang Shaozhen away.
Jiang Shao Chen buried his head in the crook of her neck. "I asked Mom, and she said they are full from formula too, and she also gave them malted milk powder, which is similar to breast milk. I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried that you might be uncomfortable from engorgement."
Shen Mingzhi had a good figure, and even though her living conditions weren't good after giving birth, Aunt Wang always prepared nourishing meals for her... so when the baby didn't eat, she felt uncomfortable from the bloating.
"I'm doing alright today," she said softly.
Jiang Shaochen kissed her neck. Shen Mingzhi lost her focus on reading, threw the book on the ground, and her breathing gradually became heavy.
"Don't do what you did last night." She was afraid that Jiang Shao Chen would lose control and not be able to work well, and that the Jiang family would think she was a vixen.
"Mmm." Jiang Shao Chen started thinking about her when he was almost done with work today.
A night of madness.
The next morning, Jiang Shaozhen had just woken up when he was kicked by Shen Mingzhi.
He pulled Shen Mingzhi into his arms, looking at the marks on her shoulder, his voice hoarse, "I promise to listen to my wife tonight."
