Fuqiu called out solemnly, "Miss, I'm very sure. I've learned a lot from you over the past year or so. Now is the time to put my knowledge into practice. My greatest hope now is to become your independent voice in the capital."

After hearing the affirmative answer, Shen Jia didn't want to persuade him anymore. It seemed that he had already made up his mind to help him run the store in the provincial capital.

There has been no bad news coming from the workshop so far, which means that the three people can still support their work in the workshop, and Fuqiu's failure to return will not cause a big impact.

After much deliberation, she agreed to Fuqiu's request. "Since you've made up your mind, stay in the city. If you have any questions, you can ask someone to send me a message. I don't think I'll be able to come to the city for a while, and I still have a lot of things waiting for me to deal with."

"I understand. Miss, please leave this place to me."

Then the two held each other's hands for a long time without saying anything, but they both understood each other's meaning.

There is always a time for separation. When the employees in the shop went to work, Shen Jia took Xu Zhao and An Yun all the way to Linyuan County. Because she had made a lot of money recently, she directly replaced her ox cart with a horse carriage. The speed along the way was much faster, and there was also a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

It was the hottest time of the summer, and there was a shady place along the way, so Shen Jia felt a lot more comfortable.

When the group returned to Ning'an Town, the three of them didn't even go home, but immediately rushed to the workshop. The main reason was that Shen Jia was worried about several important things that needed to be done urgently in the workshop, and they were all waiting for their reply.

If she only wrote a few words in the letter, she might not be able to explain it clearly. As soon as she entered the door, she was discovered by Shen Ci who was sitting inside.

Chen Ci immediately stood up and asked with concern, "Why are you so exhausted and why don't you go home and rest? There's no need to rush the affairs in the workshop for the time being."

Shen Jia raised his hand to stop him from saying the next word, and immediately asked, "The letter my brother sent me last time said that the soybeans in some areas we previously cooperated with are about to mature, and many farmers are worried that we will break our promise and come to inquire about it from time to time.

Are there any statistics on the approximate percentage? Or how much difference does the maturity time have? I need to make careful arrangements now to avoid any mistakes."

Seeing that Shen Jia was so concerned about official business, Shen Ci didn't say anything, but took the booklet he had recorded before to Shen Jia.

"This is a booklet I compiled based on the words of the people who came to visit me. It contains detailed information about each village. You can take a look at it."

Shen Jia immediately took the booklet, looked at it and memorized every word clearly. He became more and more satisfied with Shen Ci's current behavior. Then he took the things to his desk.

"I'll take a look first, then make a plan. We'll then proceed to acquire them one by one according to this schedule. However, how are the new dormitories and expanded workshops progressing?"

Because Shen Jia deeply felt the manpower and factory buildings he currently needed, he arranged for Shen Ci to follow up on this matter early on, and now he doesn’t know what the situation is.

"It's the renovation team you're used to working with. Basically, everything you mentioned has been expanded, especially the number of classrooms. A lot of new rooms have been added."

Shen Jia nodded to indicate that he understood. "So, what about the promotions and demotions I mentioned earlier, as well as another round of recruiting? This time, we're mainly looking for people willing to go to the neighboring counties. We need quite a few recruits here, too. I wonder if Brother is prepared?"

"You've arrived at a perfect time. Recruitment will begin in about two days. The details of promotions and demotions have been determined according to your arrangements. Now, no one dares to lose sight of their own status based on their small status."

"That's great! It seems that my decision to change to a carriage for the return trip was a good one."

After the two of them finished discussing some of the previous arrangements, Shen Jia began to look at the booklet in her hand again. In addition to these, she also had some other miscellaneous matters to deal with, so she asked someone to call Wen Zhaonan.

Although Wen Zhaonan is now a senior manager in the workshop, he has very few opportunities to meet Shen Jia alone, so he was still a little uneasy when facing Shen Jia's sudden call.

So he lowered his head and knocked on the door and asked, "Master, I am Wen Zhaonan. What can I do for you?"

Seeing Wen Zhaonan being very reserved, Shen Jia knew she had misunderstood. He smiled and said, "Do you know when Li Qin will be home soon? If he returns home tonight, tell him to come to the workshop tomorrow to discuss things with me."

After the incident in the provincial capital, Li Qin was arranged by Shen Jia to go to other places. When she came back, she wanted to take advantage of the favorable situation in the provincial capital to finish the things she had discussed with Li Qin as soon as possible. Then she thought of asking his second sister-in-law if she had any news about him.

Because Li Qin always didn't know the time when he was doing things. If it was late, he would either sleep in the shop or go home. He would not easily disturb Shen Jia unless there was a result.

She has important things to do now, so Li Qin had better come back as soon as possible.

Wen Zhaonan hadn't expected Shen Jia to ask him about this, so he immediately said, "I'll let you know as soon as I see my third brother come back."

After saying that, Shen Jia waved his hand to signal her to leave first, while he continued to fight on the desk.

Shen Ci, who was watching Shen Jiayi coming back and then began to deal with the things accumulated in these days in an orderly manner, was also very impressed by this. He really had an indescribable aura.

When the night began to spread to the horizon, Shen Jia began to realize that it was getting late. He took the book where he recorded his affairs and went home with Shen Ci, Shen Yue and his aunt.

When Shen's mother saw Shen Jia, whom she had not seen for many days, she missed her so much that she hurried over, took Shen Jia's hand, and carefully examined her whole body.

Finally, she said with heartache: "You've become thinner and darker. It's still not safe for you as a girl to walk outside. From now on, you should leave this matter to your father and your brother. During the days you were away, your mother really couldn't eat and was worried every day."

She almost shed tears while speaking, Shen Jia immediately took Shen's mother's arm and explained:

"Mom, don't worry. I'm not alone when I go out. I have several people protecting me. Besides, our workshop here also needs my brother to be in charge. I'm used to being exposed to the wind and sun when I'm out."

Speaking of this, Mother Shen was even more worried, "You are already over 28 years old now, and I am still thinking about finding you a good husband. A woman's appearance and virtue are both important, so you still need to pay attention to it."

Shen Jia frowned immediately. Why did they bring up the issue of marriage again? She had thought that Shen's mother wouldn't have any thoughts for the next two years, so she could just avoid it for a while. Adhering to the principle of "I'd rather die than let my friend die," she tentatively asked:

"Brother has already come of age, why don't you find out for him?"

Shen Ci, who was walking behind, froze when he heard Shen Jia throw the question at him, hoping that his mother would let him go for the time being.
