Chapter 379 Solving Troubles

Zhang Juexia looked at Manager Yao's eyes, which were like those of a resentful woman, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Shopkeeper Yao took a few furious steps and came to her side. "You are so heartless! You are still laughing! You didn't even say hello to me before you came to town. I am so sorry for being so kind to you!"

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, okay? I still have some important things to do. I'll come to your house to find you when I'm done.

I plan to have lunch at your house. Do you think I'm good to you?"

"Forget it! Forget it, you should focus on your work. I'll ask them to prepare the meal."

Shopkeeper Yao came back and asked, "Will your family come to my house for dinner?"

"I don't know, I didn't tell you, so you should prepare more!"

"Oh well!"

Zhang Juexia couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he watched Manager Yao walk away.

Aunt Wang was teaching the embroiderers new embroidery techniques. Zhang Juexia did not disturb her. She tiptoed to an empty seat and listened attentively.

Aunt Wang was probably too engrossed in the work, and only noticed her after about half a quarter of an hour. She then found an excuse and let the embroiderers practice on their own.

Zhang Juexia said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have delayed your important work."

Aunt Wang waved her hand. "Nothing. It's almost time for dinner, and I guess they can't calm down."

Aunt Wang knew that Zhang Juexia came to see her at this time, and he must have something to say, "Boss, let's go to my room to talk!"

Zhang Juexia stood up with her, and the two of them walked and talked in the yard.

Only then did Zhang Juexia realize that vegetables were planted in the open space in the yard.

Aunt Wang explained, “The cook we hired, Mrs. Li, is a homemaker.

Originally I was thinking of planting some flowers in these open spaces.

Except for me and a few maids, everyone else in our yard is young. When these flowers bloom, it will be a pleasure to look at them.

But Mrs. Li insisted on persuading me to grow vegetables.

She said that if they kept buying food for so many people, it would be an expense every day.

I thought about it and she was right. We have to be frugal in our life.

Master, you know what, this Mrs. Li is really good. Now the vegetables we grow in this yard are almost enough for us to be self-sufficient."

Zhang Juexia was very happy to hear this. It was rare that a cook would think of saving money for her. "Auntie Wang, give this Li Madam two hundred coins later and say it was a reward from me."

Aunt Wang smiled and responded, "If Mrs. Li takes the money, she will be more motivated.

Now, she keeps saying that this is the best boss she has ever met at her age.

When they arrived at Aunt Wang's room, Aunt Wang asked Zhang Juexia to sit down while she went to pour water.

"Auntie Wang, please stop busying yourself. I'll be back as soon as I finish talking."

"Boss, did Shopkeeper Li tell you about the incident at the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop?"

"Well, actually, even if he didn't tell me, I would still come here to see you."

"It's good enough if the boss has this intention. If there is any problem in the workshop, I will ask Manager Li to handle it. If he can't handle it, I will ask him to tell you.

The embroiderers at Xiucai Embroidery Workshop have been looking for me one after another.

Sometimes, there are several in a day.

They also asked the embroiderer here to talk to me.

Jinshui Town is so small, and the people who come to see me are all their random relatives."

What Zhang Juexia was concerned about was why so many embroiderers from Xiucai Embroidery Workshop wanted to come to them.

"Auntie Wang, what happened at the Xiucai Embroidery Shop? I heard from Shopkeeper Li that their business is good!

To be honest, even if they snatched all those customers from our embroidery workshop, it wouldn't leave the embroiderers without work!"

Aunt Wang handed the water to Zhang Juexia and said, "Boss, you are wrong about this matter.

It’s not that they have no work to do, but that the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop treats them like dirt.

Our embroidery workshop opens and closes on time, and we eat on time. Once it gets dark, even if you want to embroider, we won't let them do it.

After all, the embroiderer's eyes are also precious.

As for the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop, they complained every day that they did not do enough work.

But they clearly took almost two hours longer than the embroiderers in our workshop.

That’s not all, I heard from them that they haven’t been paid for a long time.”

"Is this accurate?"

"It should be accurate. In fact, there are many skilled embroiderers in Xiucai Spinning Mill, and they are all attracted by Mrs. Liu.

When Mrs. Liu invited them, she talked a lot of fancy words, but who could have known that when they actually started working, it would turn out like this."

Zhang Juexia was not at all surprised by Fang Lan and Liu Hong's personalities.

Aunt Wang sighed and said, "I am an embroiderer and I know the hardships involved best.

It’s a pity for these embroiderers who work day and night but don’t get paid.

Boss, do you know what the embroiderers in our embroidery workshop say? "

"What do you mean?"

"They say finding a job at an embroidery workshop depends on luck. Some even say it depends on fate.

They are lucky to have such a kind-hearted boss like you."

Zhang Juexia listened to everyone praising her and smiled sheepishly, "We also achieved each other!"

After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Aunt Wang felt even more relieved.

However, she was still a little worried about how to get rid of these embroiderers in the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop. "Boss, what are your rules?"

"Auntie Wang, Shopkeeper Li and I have discussed this matter, so please ignore it for now.

Liu Hong and Fang Lan are both smart people, and they will definitely sign contracts with these embroiderers.

I don’t want to bother with them until their contracts are up.”

Aunt Wang thought for a moment, then slapped her thigh in frustration, "Boss, look at my brain, I deserve to be an embroiderer for the rest of my life.

Alas, as soon as they came to me and wiped away their tears, I felt sympathy with them.

I always feel that it is not easy for them, and I even forgot that they signed the contract.

If they really were under contract, this would be a serious matter.”

"Auntie Wang, you don't have to be upset. If they hadn't come to you, we wouldn't have known that the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop was in such a bad condition.

How about this, I'll help you with this matter.

From now on, no matter who comes to you, just say that our embroidery shop’s business has been taken away by Xiucai Embroidery Shop.

Nowadays, there is no need for so many embroiderers.

If they still refuse to give up, tell them that if they really insist, you can fire them so that there will be room for them to leave.”

Aunt Wang was delighted, "After all, the boss is the boss!

This trick is sure to work. As long as I say this, I guess no one will bother me anymore.

Our embroidery workshop is so good, how could they bear to give it up?

If I had known this earlier, I would have come to you to discuss this matter. Just a few words would have solved my problem."
