After Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao returned to Jincheng from Jiangnan, Lu Lingxiao went to the capital immediately.

Now that there's finally a lead on the biggest boss behind the scenes, Lu Lingxiao didn't want to waste a second and immediately took a military plane back to Beijing.

Upon returning to Beijing, I went to my former boss's residence.

Meanwhile, Feng Zhiyi wasn't idle either.

The day after she returned to Jincheng, she went to the city to check on the finishing progress of those factories.

Feng Zhiyi drove to the factory in the western suburbs. As soon as the car arrived, Lin Dong saw her.

"Sister-in-law, you've arrived."

Security captain Lin Dong stepped forward and opened the car door. Seeing Feng Zhiyi get out of the car, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, the finishing work at the factory is almost done. It will all be completed this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhiyi immediately replied, "After the work is completed, arrange for someone to clean up the factory as soon as possible. We will start recruiting workers the day after tomorrow, and the workers will begin pre-job training three days later."

"Therefore, you must hurry up."

"Okay, I understand!"

After Lin Dong finished speaking, he asked Feng Zhiyi, "By the way, sister-in-law, my wife is hardworking, quick and efficient, and a great help at housework."

"I'd like her to come for an interview, is that alright?"

Feng Zhiyi nodded, "Sure, we can have her come for an interview. If she meets the factory's requirements in all aspects, then there's no problem."

"However, Captain Lin, as you know, I'm a person who insists on handling official business strictly."

The implication is that if your wife doesn't meet my hiring requirements, then even if she is your wife, I still won't want her.

Lin Dong wasn't stupid; he naturally understood what she meant.

He hurriedly replied, "Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand. I will definitely make things clear with my wife. If it doesn't work out in the end, I'll just consider it as bringing her out to broaden her horizons."

"It's good that you think that way." Feng Zhiyi smiled. "However, you work so hard and are a diligent and reliable person, I believe your wife will be fine too."

Lin Dong scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

His wife is a really good person. He fell in love with her because she was a woman who knew how to manage a household. After they got married, she kept the house and the outside world spotless, and she was just as good at farm work as the men.

In short, he's very diligent!

Feng Zhi noticed that he looked very happy whenever he mentioned his wife, which suggested that the couple must have a very good relationship.

However, on the other hand, a man who can always think about his wife when he is away from home has a strong sense of responsibility.

If a man doesn't even want to mention his wife after he gets married, then he's not someone you can entrust your life to.

Feng Zhiyi gave him some more instructions, then went into the factory and inspected several factories one by one, carefully checking everything inside and out.

It must be said that Lan Yifeng and his team did a really good job of controlling the decoration process; almost no major problems were found during the inspections of the various factories.

After inspecting the factory, Feng Zhiyi drove to the municipal staff quarters.

She brought New Year's gifts to the Zhou family to wish Grandma Zhou, Uncle Zhou, and Aunt Zhou a Happy New Year. Brother Zhou wasn't home; Grandma Zhou told her that he had gone back to Haishi to wish the Zhou family elders and relatives a Happy New Year.

I'll also go on a blind date while I'm at it!

It is said that Aunt Jin helped introduce a girl from a prominent family. Her parents also work in the government, so the Zhou family is considered a good match.

Zhou Jiahao is currently 24 years old, which is indeed the age for marriage and starting a family. Therefore, when Aunt Jin meets a good girl, she will think of her nephew Zhou Jiahao. However, Zhou Jiahao himself is not in a hurry.

Unfortunately, the elders in my family were urging me to give it my all.

Feng Zhiyi stayed at the Zhou family's house until a little after 2 p.m. before taking her leave.

When she left, Grandma Zhou and her aunt each gave her three red envelopes, saying they were New Year's money for the three children, to take back to Ziheng and the others.

The first thing Feng Zhiyi did upon returning to the family compound was to call Ma Hongying over.

Let her announce that recruitment will begin the day after tomorrow!

When Ma Hongying returned to the family compound and shared the good news with the family members, all of them were so happy that they spun around on the spot.

Everyone asked anxiously, "Big Mouth, did your wife say what time the recruitment will start the day after tomorrow? We need to be prepared to go there early!"

Ma Hongying didn't mince words this time and immediately gave the answer, "The day after tomorrow morning at nine o'clock! Recruiting will begin as soon as it's nine o'clock!"

"You two can take the bus into town with me and Yang Xiulan the day after tomorrow morning!"

Everyone cheered immediately, "Okay, no problem! I'll get ready as soon as possible!"

As requested by Feng Zhiyi, Ma Hongying poured cold water on the group who were secretly pleased.

"Don't get too excited yet!"

"I must warn you, your sister-in-law is very strict when it comes to hiring. Anyone who doesn't meet the requirements will be rejected! Especially those who like to cheat and gossip, your sister-in-law has said, she won't take them!"

"An outstanding candidate who is honest, hardworking, and quick-witted!"

Upon hearing this, everyone eagerly replied, "Then I'm definitely fine with it! I'm usually very diligent and reliable!"

"I'm hardworking and diligent, and I don't like to gossip!"

"I don't like to gossip, and I keep everything at home and outside very clean!"

"I never slack off at work, and I have no problem with that!"

"Me too, me too..."

Seeing that everyone was so excited they were almost overwhelming her, Ma Hongying quickly told them to step back and go back to enjoy their excitement. Then she turned and went up to the third floor.

The entire family compound erupted in noise.

This is the job they've always dreamed of!

Who wouldn't want to work every day and get paid? They'd rack their brains trying to perform well the day after tomorrow!

In some families, couples have even argued and fought over hiring workers.

Most of them were family members who went to the hospital to disturb Feng Zhiyi's rest before the Lunar New Year when she was hospitalized.

Feng Zhiyi remained completely unmoved upon hearing the news.

They brought this on themselves.

No wonder.

What she wants are down-to-earth workers, not parasites who do nothing but gossip, slack off, and are good for nothing but cheating and shirking!

Such workers would not be wanted by factories in later generations.

Feng Zhiyi then said to Wang Shujuan, "Sister-in-law Shujuan, you have a high school education and you used to work as an accountant in the factory, so I've arranged for you to be the accounting supervisor."

"From now on, please keep a closer eye on things for me in the finance department."

“No problem! Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I will definitely manage the finance department well!” Wang Shujuan said immediately.

I was overjoyed.

At first, she was quite reluctant to quit her job at the state-owned factory. She was also worried that Feng Zhiyi's factory was a new factory and that if business was bad and it didn't last long, it would be troublesome.

But Lao Xu advised her to listen to him, quit her job, and work with the brigade commander's wife!

I never expected that my sister-in-law would directly make her a department head; this is such a pleasant surprise!
