Those who had just slapped themselves felt sowhat ashad and kept their heads down, not daring to speak anymore. Lu Debang was even more ashad; initially, to manage the Head Flower Workshop, they had specifically called a eting. Now looking back, that eting seed laughable, with many harsh words said, but putting them into practice proved to be no small feat.
"I understand, Xiao ng, no one knows better than I do how much suffering you went through when you first set up your workshop. So many relationships aren’t built with just a word or two. Asking for favors is like warmly pressing one’s face to another’s cold buttocks. I know you faced much scorn back then, so it’s unreasonable for to still manage the workshop’s affairs after you’re gone, don’t you think?"
As Director Guo spoke, tears fell from her eyes. Before, her interaction with Shen ng did have so pretense, but the hardships within were clear to her. When she went to county etings before, she would encounter those who would flatter or belittle others—it was you who would stand with a smile for a long ti, while they wouldn’t give you a single glance. Shen ng went through so much to establish such a workshop, enduring countless grievances.
The more she observed the crowd behind her, the more stifled and teary she beca.
Shen ng: "...."
What was supposed to be an act had gotten a bit too genuine!!!
"Director Guo, please don’t be like this. I still have a job now, and I still have to manage Shenji’s workshop. I really don’t have the capacity to spare, but if everyone doesn’t mind, you can go to Shenji and give it a try. The village chief is personally recruiting. As long as you qualify, the remuneration will not be shabby."
Upon hearing this, everyone beca anxious—how could that be the sa as working in one’s own village compared to working in soone else’s village? Besides, it was their own that had caused the workshop to fail. If they really went there to seek work, wouldn’t others laugh them to death?!
Over there was Shen ng’s maternal ho. Once they were over there, how could there be any good fruit to eat?
"Xiao ng, please reconsider, can you think about it again?"
"Yes, yes, we truly recognize our mistakes, from now on we’ll listen to you. Please put in the effort, take over the workshop’s operations, okay?"
"No one but you can handle this; who else has the ability you do?"
Shen ng felt it was ti to take control and sighed, looking at the crowd: "Since that’s the case, I’ll take on the Head Flower Workshop. However, Director Guo must not leave. I have so much work on my hands. Without your help, I don’t know how to properly manage in the future. As for those who caused trouble, I’m sorry, but I can’t get past this hurdle in my heart. Sister-in-law Hua, I truly can’t dare to employ you. However, those sisters who just sincerely apologized, I’ll give you one more chance. If there’s any mistake again, just leave on your own accord, to avoid upsetting everyone."
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you Xiao ng, thank you xiao ng."
"We will definitely work well, definitely work well."
"Who do you think you are, it’s just a job. If you won’t give it, then fine, I don’t care for it. You think I want to co? I’m not the least bit willing to work for you. Saying you won’t dare to use , even if you wanted to, I wouldn’t let you!"

Sister-in-law Hua’s face turned sowhat pale. She hadn’t expected Shen ng to specifically call her out; the others who caused trouble initially were able to stay, but only she was left out. Wasn’t this a slap in Jiaojiao’s face?
And those who, like her, had been loud and aggressive during the disturbances, were now cowering, shaless creatures. They couldn’t earn much in a day, yet they so easily condemned her, truly disgusting.
Shen ng didn’t care in the least about what she said. After all, this was Sister-in-law Hua in a state of desperate flailing.
Aunt Hua was about to speak, when suddenly she saw soone hurry into the courtyard.
"Comrade Shen ng, Comrade Shen ng, I’ve finally found you, your ho was quite hard to locate, I had to ask several people before I found it."
"Secretary Guan, what brings you here? Please have a seat."
After smiling and taking a seat, Secretary Guan glanced at the people in the courtyard and cast a puzzled look at Shen ng.
"Secretary Guan, please have so water. These are all people from our workshop, they ca over wanting to ask to manage the workshop again, but we haven’t finalized anything yet."
Secretary Guan was indeed thirsty, picked up the teacup and gulped down the water, and once he felt relieved, he smiled and said, "It seems that public opinion is clear, Comrade Shen, the Secretary has already sternly reprimanded Director Feng of your Xiangyang Commune. From now on, the Head Flower Workshop of your commune will be fully under your control. The County Committee has had a eting, the workshop will no longer be called a workshop but a factory, Xiangyang Head Flower Factory, Comrade Li Qianqian is the factory director, and you are the deputy director. Your appointnt letter and salary details are all written on it. Furthermore, any matters concerning the Head Flower Factory can be directly reported to the County Committee without going through the commune."
Shen ng looked at the appointnt letter and another docunt handed over by Secretary Guan, which stated that her salary was one hundred and fifty yuan, including generous bonuses and benefits.
"Isn’t this too much? And as for deputy director, I..."
"Comrade Shen ng, you deserve it. You made such a significant contribution to the County during your trip to the Provincial City. The comrades of the County Committee all rember your hard work. It’s not just the County, the comndation from the Province will be sent to you soon. Tens of thousands of dollars in foreign currency a month, who else could achieve that? If it weren’t for you, even the Secretary would not dare to say he could have secured the deal."
The crowd watched this person who had suddenly appeared, not understanding a word he said. What about the Head Flower Factory, the factory director, the appointnt letter, foreign currency, and so on? What exactly was he talking about?
Before coming, Secretary Guan had probably heard a mouthful from Feng Si, and he really disliked the mischief caused by the villagers. It was true that the poorer the place, the more backward the thinking, and the more trouble they caused.
"Perhaps everyone isn’t aware, but Comrade Shen, while at the Provincial City negotiating the contract for the vice food product factory, encountered a foreigner who liked how well the village’s Head Flower Workshop was doing. After many visits, a large order was secured. From now on, there will be a steady stream of goods going out every month from the Head Flower Factory, even overseas. The head flowers produced by your Lu Family Village Xiangyang Head Flower Factory will be worn on the heads of foreigners. Hehehe, Comrade Shen ng is really broad-minded. Although the people in your village wronged her, she still bore no grudges and thought about the workshop even when she was out. Such great love, such kindness, such selflessness."
Shen ng: "...."
Although you are speaking up for , what you’re saying is quite exaggerated. Really, why does it feel so moving?
Secretary Guan’s words hit like a thunderbolt, exploding directly in everyone’s minds. Shen ng had actually secured such a large order for the Head Flower Workshop without their knowledge, and it was even bringing in foreign currency. The products they were making would now be for export.
"Xiao ng, is this, is this really true?"
Director Guo looked at Shen ng incredulously, with his mouth twitching as he spoke, while the others also turned their gaze towards Shen ng, filled with anticipation.
Shen ng nodded, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, she squinted her eyes, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Seeing Shen ng suddenly cry, everyone’s guilt reached its zenith, and Sister-in-law Hua just collapsed on the ground, completely numbed.
