In the late morning, employees began to converge from all directions towards the grand hall. It didn’t take long for them to gather into a sizable group within the hall. They stood on their tiptoes, craning their necks, glancing in the direction of Su Shen and Gu Zi while murmuring amongst themselves. Their faces were filled with eager anticipation, as typically when Su Shen called for a eting, it was to deliver good news.

A few distinct voices could be heard amidst the hum of the crowd, “Brother Shen increased our pay last month, could it be another raise?”

In the midst of the lively atmosphere, Su Shen stood next to Gu Zi, his gaze lingering on her for a while before he asked in a low voice, ‘You look a bit pale, what’s wrong?”

He had been busy in his office until it was ti to announce the news. When he went to fetch Gu Zi, she was already in this state. If he hadn’t seen that the at at the stall was almost sold out, he would have thought it was due to so issue with the stall.

Gu Zi’s lips were taut. She looked up to et the man’s gaze. His eyes were deeper than most, his nose prominent, giving his eye sockets a profound depth. His eyelashes were sowhat long. While others might find his gaze cold and distant, Gu Zi found his eyes comforting and soothing.

Her mood shifted as she looked into his eyes, and a radiant smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. “Let’s discuss the matter at hand first, I’ll talk to you about the rest later.”

After saying this, she took his hand and together they faced the dozens of employees. Seeing this, the employees stopped their chatter and turned their attention to their boss and his wife.

Su Shen responded with a simple “okay” to Gu Zi. As he looked at his employees, his handso face regained its usual cool composure. His lips pressed into a thin line, and the aura of a leader, both gentle and powerful, instantly enveloped him. It was a commanding presence that demanded respect, causing everyone to hold their breath in submission.

When the hall had quieted down to the point where only the squeals of pigs from the pen could be heard, Su Shen began to speak. “I’ve gathered everyone here today to discuss two matters. First, Gu Zi is my wife. I am officially announcing that she now has managerial rights over the pig farm.

“Secondly, I am announcing a new employee pricing benefit system. From now on, when employees purchase pork, pig heads, pig offal, or pig feet from the farm, the price will be 0.2 yuan lower than the lowest price offered to the public on that day. After an employee makes a purchase, the person in charge of sales must make a corresponding written record. If the quantity is large, a receipt must be issued…”

Su Shen’s voice was deep and rich, resonating throughout the hall. Even after traveling through the air, his words remained clear and distinct. Even the person standing at the very back could understand every single word. Gradually, the expressions on the faces of the crowd began to look a bit stunned, and then sowhat grim.

After Su Shen finished his announcent, he told Gu Zi that he was going to check the equipnt and gave her a look that said, ‘the rest is up to you.’

The announcent by Su Shen to reinforce the company’s policies ca rather unexpectedly. Although they were not afraid of employees leaving due to dissatisfaction, it was crucial at this mont to have soone who could pacify the staff. The most suitable candidate for this role was Su Shen’s wife.

In response to this, Gu Zi gave him a reassuring look, indicating that she was capable of handling the situation.

After Su Shen left with the two employees on duty for inspection that day, the buzzing chatter in the hall resud. They had processed the situation; the first matter was not of much concern, as it was expected and not their place as employees to comnt.

However, the second matter was of great significance. It implied that they could no longer casually take the unsold parts for their consumption!

On the surface, it was presented as an employee welfare policy, with considerable discounts on prices. However, it directly prohibited a long-standing, unspoken special privilege—taking the cheaper parts for free. Why the sudden change?

“I’m not bothered, I generally don’t take anything ho anyway. I only took two pig heads last year during the New Year for offerings. They weren’t particularly tasty, so it’s no big deal if I can’t take them anymore.”

“So, we can’t cook pig heads to accompany our drinks anymore? We have to buy them ourselves! I think it does matter.”

“Ah Zhuang, I rember your family used to make cured pig heads with the ones you got for free, right? That ans your family will have a reduced inco this year.”

Ah Zhuang, who was among the crowd, was inevitably pointed out. While others only took a little of the pig heads and feet when needed, Ah Zhuang frequently took them ho. His mother would turn them into cured pig heads and feet. By the end of the year, when every household was preparing for the New Year, they would set up a stall in town to sell them for a lot of money..
