“Daxia, it’s no use telling me this. I’m not Daya. You’re a smart person, you can definitely understand what I mean, right?” Jiang Ling said with a smile.
Zhou Daxia hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said in an almost mosquito-like voice, "I...I understand!"
"Okay, let's go in! I need to emphasize discipline regarding Daya's situation, so that she won't be bullied again!" Jiang Ling said with a smile, patting Zhou Daxia's shoulder.
Zhou Daxia nodded and followed behind Jiang Ling.
After what just happened, everyone is working quite hard now, with almost everyone keeping their heads down and busy with their own tasks.
"Alright, everyone put down what you're saying for now, I have something to say!" Jiang Ling clapped her hands and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling glanced at Daya, whose eyes still held a hint of fear, and said, "Da Ya, come here!"
Da Ya thought Jiang Ling was going to criticize her, so she walked up to Jiang Ling with a nervous expression.
"I'm sure you all know about Er Ya's situation. I'm just asking who spread the word, but there are some things I still have to say! Her name is Daya. Although she and Er Ya are sisters, you all know how Daya works here! You can't start targeting Daya just because of Er Ya's situation!" As she said this, Jiang Ling's gaze fell on Lu Qiaoqiao again, giving her a meaningful look.
Lu Qiaoqiao felt a little guilty under Jiang Ling's gaze and quickly lowered her head. Jiang Ling was right; Lu Qiaoqiao had indeed been targeting Daya from time to time lately. Jiang Ling smiled faintly and continued, "Who among you doesn't have siblings? If you're targeted because of your siblings' mistakes, I can't guarantee that someone else won't be the next target! You're here at my factory to work, but I also need to resolve the issues between you!"
"Da Ya and Er Ya are not related. I hope everyone understands this!"
Hearing these words, Daya almost burst into tears on the spot. Heaven knows how wronged she had felt after Erya's accident. She never expected that Aunt Jiang would stand up for her. She took a deep breath and said to Jiang Ling, "Auntie, thank you... thank you!"
Jiang Ling smiled faintly, "It's nothing, you didn't do anything wrong in this matter!"
"Alright, let's call this matter closed for now. If I find anyone targeting anyone else, being disunited, or harming the factory's interests in the future, they'll be fired immediately!" Jiang Ling's tone turned even colder as she said this.
Seeing that Jiang Ling was angry, everyone immediately lowered their heads and went about their own business.
Er Ya's matter was resolved smoothly, and Shen Congxin's pregnancy gradually became more stable.
Time flies, and four months have passed. Shen Congxin's belly has grown quite a bit, and many people who see it secretly speculate that this baby is definitely a girl.
Jiang Ling's family didn't take it to heart. In any case, having a boy or a girl was a happy event for Jiang Ling. She would comfort Shen Congxin from time to time, afraid that she would overthink it.
“Yaojie’s mother, I’ve already had someone calculate it. Half a month from now is an auspicious day. That day will be the best for opening the business!” Just as Jiang Ling was chatting with Shen Congxin, the village chief walked in from outside, holding a piece of red paper in his hand.
"Take a look at these lists, see if anyone is missing!" the village chief said, placing the red paper on the table.
Jiang Ling looked up and saw that the paper contained the names of people she knew. She carefully checked it and then handed the paper to Shen Congxin, saying, "Congxin, can you check if I've missed anyone?"
Chen Congxin took the paper and examined it carefully. "Mother, I feel like there shouldn't be any problem!"
Jiang Ling nodded and said to the village chief, "Alright, let's send out the wedding invitations according to the list on this paper!"
The village chief nodded and jogged away from Jiang Ling's house. It turned out that Jiang Ling's previous phase of planning was nearing completion. Some time ago, Jiang Ling had specifically sought out the village chief to discuss the opening date and the list of invitees.
Today, the village chief specially prepared a list and had someone calculate the time to verify the matter with Jiang Ling.
As night fell, the village chief rang the bell again, and almost everyone in Lujia Village gathered in the ancestral hall.
The village chief cleared his throat and said, "Our first phase of construction is almost finished, and we'll have a grand opening in half a month. Yaojie's mother will invite some dignitaries to attend. You can start thinking about what to sell now! If you've decided, come and sign up!"
Everyone's eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing this, especially those who had signed contracts with the village chief in advance to rent shops, their smiles practically reaching their ears.
The village chief gave a few more brief instructions, mainly about being mindful of one's manners and reminding everyone that the other party's identity was not simple, before dismissing the crowd.
Zhao Erleng's wife was also at the meeting. After hesitating for a moment, she found Jiang Ling and asked, "Yaojie's mother, I... I was thinking if I could open the spicy hot pot stall back in the village and join in the fun!"
Jiang Ling was about to agree, but then she thought of something and shook her head, saying, "Sister-in-law Er Leng, it's so hot, there might not be anyone who wants to eat spicy hot pot. How about you consider cold pot skewers?"
Zhao Erleng's wife was stunned for a long time before she could react.
Jiang Ling smiled faintly and said, "Look at mala tang, aren't fewer people eating it in the summer?"
Reminded by this, Zhao Erleng's wife nodded repeatedly. Jiang Ling smiled mysteriously and said, "Do you think it's possible to cook the spicy hot pot ingredients in advance, and then soak them in a broth to let them absorb the flavor naturally? The broth will be cold, so the customers won't feel hot when they eat it."
Zhao Erleng's wife was a smart woman. She immediately understood Jiang Ling's idea after being reminded of it. She nodded gratefully, but soon she discovered a new problem.
