Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

As expected, everyone was surprised. The only sound in the room was Chen Ying's "clapping"; everyone else remained silent.

After Chen Ying finished speaking, a series of exclamations of surprise rang out: "My God, a female factory manager, that's amazing!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen a woman as a factory manager!"

"Exactly, I've never heard of them before, and they're so young."

People sitting at one table turned to look at Wen Tang, while those at other tables peered at her. They all stared intently at Wen Tang, unable to believe that a factory manager could be a woman, and so young at that.

Even Shen Pengfei couldn't help but ask a few words of concern, "Did you make that Jiebao soap?"

Wen Tang nodded slightly, but then said, "I made it with a friend."

Shen Pengfei couldn't help but ask, "Do you also produce this in your factory in Haishi?"

At that time, the county sent Director Wang to communicate with Wen Tang, asking her to merge the factory into the county, but Wen Tang did not agree, saying that it had already been merged into Haishi.

This is also why the county did not provide more support later.

But Shen Pengfei had a gut feeling that the factory Wen Tang was working at in Haishi was definitely not just making soap, otherwise she would have moved her business there long ago.

As expected, Wen Tang said, "No, what we do in Haishi are cosmetic products."

"Cosmetics?" Everyone has their own expertise, and Shen Pengfei didn't know much about it.

"Yes, it's for people who need to do makeup, like those in performing arts troupes or drama troupes."

"Of course, Shanghai is a big city, and many people wear lipstick and apply whitening face cream to look better in their daily lives. That's what we produce."

"Of course, we're only producing lipsticks right now. Products like whitening face creams and eyebrow pencils will require more time to research and develop."

Shen Pengfei didn't know much about these things, but Wen Tang's words were clear and his expression showed that he was very confident. Shen Pengfei still praised him, "You young people are surpassing your teachers, each generation is stronger than the last, very good!"

Wen Tang was proud inside, but on the surface he was humble, saying, "Secretary, you flatter me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Pengfei waved his hand warmly, "Why are you calling me 'Secretary'? That's too formal."

“From now on…” Shen Pengfei pointed to Gu Shuhe at the table, and Chen Ying quickly whispered a reminder, “Shuhe!”

Shen Pengfei smiled and continued, "Now that Xiaohe has married into the family, we'll be proper in-laws. You can just call me uncle."

Wen Tang remained unfazed by the honor, saying, "Yes, Uncle Shen!"

Shen Pengfei didn't say anything more, but instead urged everyone to "eat, eat, while the food is still hot."

"Listen to my words, and serve Xiaohe some food."

"Pour some wine for you... Big Brother and Uncle Gu!"

Then he urged everyone, "Everyone, eat your vegetables, eat your vegetables!"

He greeted Gu Juyuan and the others at the main table.

The two families of Shen's aunt and her younger sister each sat at two separate tables to accompany Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jin.

Because of the good start, the meal was a great success, with everyone enjoying themselves immensely.

Jiang Ruoruo was still unhappy, and because she was unhappy, she ran out after eating only a few bites.

Because his elder brother was having a wedding, Shen Tingyu was reduced to working as a waiter.

He was serving dishes outside, and now that most of the dishes had been served and no new dishes were being made, he had some free time and was squatting by the kitchen doorway, sneaking a bite to eat.

hungry.

He would take a few bites whenever he had a spare moment.

Because she was squatting right by the kitchen door, Shen Tingyu saw Jiang Ruoruo as soon as she appeared in the yard.

Upon seeing her, Shen Tingyu naturally went up to ask, "Ruo Ruo, why did you come out so quickly?"

"Are you full?"

"There are still two dishes that haven't been served yet!"

Jiang Ruoruo saw him squatting at the kitchen doorway and became even angrier. "What are you doing here?"

“Serving the dishes,” Shen Tingyu said with a chuckle, “there are quite a few people, so my mom asked me to help serve them too.”

"Are you a waiter?" Jiang Ruoruo's expression wasn't very good.

Shen Tingyu was rather pleased. "Yes, they all went to the banquet. I didn't go; I stayed here to help out."

"Ruoruo, we'll be making the reservation in a few days. How are you planning to do it?"

His question hit Jiang Ruoruo right where it hurts, and Jiang Ruoruo immediately crossed her arms and asked, "How do I order?"

"Shen Tingyu, I've waited for you all these years, you can't let me be worse than others, can you?"

Shen Tingyu immediately shook his head, "That's definitely not possible!"

"Don't worry, you'll definitely have everything that others have."

"What did your sister-in-law buy for her engagement?" Jiang Ruoruo couldn't help but ask.

"It's something everyone gets when they get engaged!"

"New clothes, new fabric, bed sheets, duvet covers and stuff, I saw them when they came back from shopping."

How many are there?

Six new outfits!

"The others seem to all have six items as well!"

"Can I have eight of these?" Jiang Ruoruo asked, glancing at him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Tingyu said, "That's not good. My sister-in-law just placed the order. If you offer two more items than she does, not to mention others, my brother definitely won't be happy about it."

“I can’t go past my older brother either; my dad won’t agree.”

"Why doesn't it work?"

"Then who made her go to the front?"

“There are plenty of families where the younger siblings ask for more things and more dowry than the older siblings.”

"Does the one in front still want to compete with the one in back?"

Shen Tingyu frowned upon hearing this. "No, you and your sister-in-law were only a month apart. What time difference could there be?"

"Even being one day short is still a mistake!"

"I've waited for you for so many years, and you haven't said a word." Jiang Ruoruo's eyes reddened as she said this.

Shen Tingyu felt heartbroken watching this, but...

"Ruoruo, these shouldn't be confused."

"Then how can we conflate them?"

"Like your older brother's girlfriend, because your older brother took a liking to her, your family raised the standard from two or three sets of new clothes to six sets, and even hired a tractor to go to the countryside to pick her up. Can you really call that the same thing?"

"No, why did your brother agree to her wearing six sets, but you didn't want me to wear eight?"

"...Well, you already said that the others only have two or three new outfits each, so six outfits isn't a small number!"

"If you still want to buy it, I can buy it for you myself later, but you insist on doing it when we're engaged..."

Before Shen Tingyu could finish his sentence, Jiang Ruoruo glanced at him with disappointment, then turned and went back into the house.

Shen Tingyu suddenly felt that the remaining meatballs in his hand were no longer appealing.

Watching Jiang Ruoruo leave in a fit of anger, Shen Tingyu wanted to chase after her and talk to her some more, but he was afraid that others would talk about them behind their backs.

We can only suppress this matter for now.

Jiang Ruoruo did not come out again until the end of the banquet, when it was time to introduce relatives (which was also the time to give red envelopes). Only then did Jiang Ruoruo come to the main room with her mother.

The Shen family only had a handful of legitimate relatives: two maternal uncles, one aunt, one uncle, and one paternal aunt.

The others were his extended family, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, as well as some of Shen Pengfei's friends from outside the family.

These people weren't supposed to receive red envelopes.

But they wanted to curry favor with Shen Pengfei, so they automatically sat in the family reunion area and eagerly offered him money.

Jiang Ruoruo's father was among these people!
