Now, even without them, he still got things done.
It's better that they're sick, so I don't have to feel so upset looking at their old faces.
Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang had also heard about this matter and thought that these managers were indeed going too far. They took the money but didn't do their jobs properly, and even their masters were controlled by them.
