This man is an old man in the guard, named Lao Huang. He was deep in thought because everyone was saying that Xu Qianzong has a woman he likes.

While everyone else thought it was a happy occasion, he felt a bit irritated.

Because he has a daughter who is of marriageable age.

The Huang family was just an ordinary family in town, but every parent felt that their child was the best.

So Lao Huang wanted to find the best husband for his daughter.

Looking around, I finally spotted Xu Yi.

One person specifically sent his daughter to deliver something to him, just so his daughter could catch a glimpse of Xu Yi.

Unsurprisingly, her daughter also liked Xu Yi very much.

However, even though the father and daughter have taken a liking to someone, that person may not necessarily reciprocate their feelings.

Old Huang is getting old and can no longer go out much. He has spent the past year staying in the inner quarters dealing with some case files and documents.

It's estimated that in another year or two, he'll reach the age where he should leave the guard.

Xu Yi is different; he's just starting out, and who knows how far he'll go in the future.

In addition, the Xu family was also a well-known wealthy family. In terms of family background and social standing, the Huang family was far inferior to the Xu family.

This matter was already enough to worry Lao Huang, and now there are rumors that Xu Yi has a woman he likes.

Old Huang's heart is truly at peace.

Such a good husband, are they really going to miss out on him?

"Old Huang, what are you thinking about? Aren't you going to eat this snack? If you're not going to eat it, give it to me." Someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.

"Who said I'm not eating them? I'll take them home to eat." Old Huang snapped out of his thoughts, packed the pastries into an oil paper bag, and took them home for his daughter.

"Alright, everyone stop standing there and get to work," someone shouted, and everyone scattered to do their tasks.

Since Fu Man'er and Xu Yi realized their feelings for each other, she felt that something was turned upside down.

She used to be the one clinging to Xu Yi, but now it's Xu Yi who clings to her.

"Miss, these jasmine flowers smell so good."

Fu Man'er was reading in the bookstore, while Shuangxi used a small clip to place a flower near the incense burner.

When the weather gets hot, Fu Man'er doesn't like to burn incense; she puts flowers in the incense burner instead.

“Our young master is so devoted to you. Look at these flowers, they’re arranged so neatly, not a single one is crushed, they’re all perfectly intact.”

Fu Man'er casually remarked, "It's been so long since I've smelled jasmine."

Who knew that when Xu Yi returned that evening, he brought back a basket of jasmine and had it kept in ice to prevent it from withering.

Thinking of this, Fu Man'er smiled sweetly and took a deep breath of the jasmine fragrance.

"Oh, right, Miss." Shuangxi closed the lid of the incense burner. "Miss Wang came by when you went out with the young master."

"She said that Manager Chen has already taken care of it."

"It's done? So fast?" Fu Man'er thought it would take a while. "How did you do it?"

Shuangxi shook her head. "This servant doesn't know either. Miss Wang's carriage just passed by our bookstore."

"I wanted to ask for clarification, but Miss Wang said she was busy delivering medicine to Steward Chen and would report back to you after she was done."

"Delivering medicine?" Fu Man'er exclaimed in surprise. "Did she beat the person into submission?"

Manager Chen was indeed beaten, but not by Wang Jingjing, but by Master Chu.

Not only was he beaten, but he also lost his job.

Ultimately, the reason was that the cloth workshop under Manager Chen's management not only failed to recruit enough workers, but also lacked sufficient dyed cloth.

Master Chu flew into a rage and fined Steward Chen and the workers inside, causing widespread resentment.

Manager Chen was furious, so he went to the Chu family to reason with Master Chu and try to explain the current situation to him.

Later, the matter was not clearly explained, and Master Chu beat the man up for talking back, kicked him out of the Chu mansion, and told him not to return to the Chu family cloth shop.

It was quite a coincidence; I had only walked a few steps when I ran into Wang Jingjing again.

This article is first published on the TaDu Novel app.

However, Wang Jingjing did not follow him this time; she simply bumped into him while shopping.

Just as he was waving excitedly to Manager Chen, the man came over in a huff.

"You woman, you are truly vicious and will stop at nothing to achieve your goals."

"If I don't go to your cloth shop, you'll make me have no place in the Chu family's cloth shop, right?"

It's no wonder Manager Chen thinks that way. The main reason is that Wang Jingjing has been appearing by his side every day for the past few days, constantly saying how bad the Chu family's cloth shop is and how good their Xuanhe cloth shop is.

In short, the goal is to get him to come to Xuanhe Cloth Workshop.

He came from the Chu family's cloth workshop, so naturally he was still unwilling.

For him to go to another cloth shop, it would be unless the Chu family no longer wanted him.

As soon as he left the Chu family, Wang Jingjing was waiting beside him. Her silly grin turned into the joy of a successful scheme in Steward Chen's eyes.

With pent-up anger, Manager Chen launched into a tirade against Wang Jingjing, so scathing that passersby couldn't help but stare at them.

After Manager Chen left, Wang Jingjing slowly realized: Manager Chen had been dismissed by the Chu family, but why was he cursing at her?

Despite this doubt, Wang Jingjing was mostly happy. Wasn't this giving you an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

Before Wang Jingjing could even start taking advantage of the situation, Manager Chen came looking for her again that same day.

After calming down on his way back, he realized that he had been taking his anger out on others.

Being fired was entirely his own doing, and had nothing to do with anyone else. Those words were an undeserved disaster for Wang Jingjing.

Feeling guilty, Manager Chen ignored his injuries and went to the teahouse that Wang Jingjing frequented, where he indeed found her.

Wang Jingjing was quite surprised when she met him.

Manager Chen immediately bowed deeply to her, expressing his apologies with a face full of guilt.

“Miss Wang, it was Chen’s fault in this matter. He has wronged you. If you want to vent your anger, you can hit or scold Chen as you please.”

It was only then that Wang Jingjing remembered that she had been scolded for no reason. Knowing her temper, she would definitely want to give him a good beating to vent her anger.

But! She is Wang Jingjing now, not Wang Erni, and she needs to be quiet.

So Wang Jingjing took a deep breath and said, "Manager Chen, my mother taught me from a young age that women should be gentle and virtuous and should not lay hands on each other."

Manager Chen gave her a strange look, thinking to himself, "You've tried to touch me inappropriately quite a few times too."

Don't get the wrong idea, it's not the kind of physical assault, it's the kind of action where you sweep your leg to trip someone, then use both hands to tie them up.

"How can that girl vent her anger?" Manager Chen humbled himself, realizing he was in the wrong.

Wang Jingjing smiled so wide her teeth were showing. "I won't hit you or scold you. Why don't you come and be the manager of our cloth shop?"

Manager Chen's lips twitched. This girl was really impolite and quite persistent.

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Wang. As you can see, I, Chen, have failed in my duties and have been kicked out of the Chu Family Cloth Shop. I would be grateful if your shop could find someone more capable."

Manager Chen gave a bitter smile, feeling that he was still not suited to be a manager.

Wang Jingjing couldn't hold on for long, and she raised her hand and patted Manager Chen on the shoulder.

"Don't just thank me verbally. You should have come when I told you to. You're a grown man, why are you dawdling like this? Anyway, you don't have any work to do right now."

“The wages I pay at Xuanhe Cloth Shop aren’t low. What will your grandmother do if you don’t work?”

Manager Chen's expression changed, not only because of Wang Jingjing's words, but also because...

This girl touched his sore spot!

"May I ask Miss Wang, what merits do I possess that make your esteemed cloth shop value me so highly?" Manager Chen subtly took a step back, relieving his shoulder.

"What makes you so special?" Wang Jingjing frowned and thought for a moment. Man'er seemed to have mentioned it, but she had forgotten.

All she knew was, "Our fabric workshop is short of managers right now. Tell me, do you need work right now, especially high-paying work?"

Manager Chen's parents died early, and he was raised by his grandmother. Now the old lady is in poor health and needs to take medicine, which costs a lot of money every month.

He really was short of work and money, and with that thought in mind, Manager Chen could only nod.

Seeing him nod, Wang Jingjing was happy again and slapped his arm. "Okay, it's settled then. Come to our Xuanhe Cloth Shop tomorrow."

"Ouch!" Manager Chen's face changed color from the pain. This Miss Wang must be his nemesis. Why does she always hit him where he hurts the most?
