He chuckled dryly, made an excuse that he had something to do at home, and turned to leave Jingyue Pavilion.
He could grit his teeth and pay a high price, but he also needed to think it over carefully. Was the Zhu Family Embroidery Workshop, or rather Zhu Jiayu, worth such a high price?
After everyone left, Zhu Congjian finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his daughter: "What exactly happened? Why did Wei Shenglan suddenly change her tune? And what you said to him..."
Zhu Jiayu smiled and asked him to sit down. She then told him in great detail what had happened in the past few days, such as how she punished the female workers who took advantage of their seniority to slack off, and how she got involved with the county magistrate's wife to get her to endorse the embroidery workshop, and so on.
Finally, she added, "Actually, if Uncle Wei hadn't invited you out, Manager Liao would have already come to your residence to report this today. Don't blame him for not reporting it; I asked him to keep it from you first. I wouldn't dare let you know about these things and laugh at me before I've achieved anything!"

"Now I regret it a little. In my opinion, our Yu'er is clearly the most beautiful jade in the world. Fortunately, I insisted on using the character Yu as your nickname back then."
Zhu Jiayu, fearing that her father would be upset if he continued, interrupted him at the right moment: "Father, it's getting late, let's go back quickly. I have to go to the embroidery workshop tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, you've worked so hard for so long, you deserve a good rest! Your father will cook for you later and make your favorite eight-treasure duck!"
