Chu Xuyao looked at Su Wenji across from him and said, “Then we’ll have to trouble you to join us in investigating, one by one.”

Su Wenji was speechless.

He felt that his fate was in the iron grip of Chu Xuyao.

He Shaozhi looked out of the window and urged, “Chu Xuyao, if you have anything to say, say it quickly. Don’t keep us in suspense. We’re in a hurry to go home.”

Chu Xuyuan asked curiously, “Why are you in such a hurry?”

He Shaozhi retracted his gaze and stopped talking.

Su Wenji looked at He Shaozhi with a complicated expression. “Chu Xuyao, tell us what we need to do. We’ll cooperate.”

Chu Xuyao said slowly, “Go and spread rumors tomorrow. Say that I already know who did it. I’ll look for him tomorrow afternoon.”

These words attracted He Shaozhi and Su Wenji’s probing gazes. Did he really know? Or was he faking it?

Chu Xuyao’s expression was calm. He did not show anything. “You don’t have to think about it. I won’t tell you. Just go spread the rumor tomorrow, and then wait for the fish to jump out of the water themselves.”

Even Chu Xuyuan was puzzled about what Chu Xuyao was planning.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Wenji couldn’t help but ask, “After it’s done, will you really plead with the teacher on our behalf?”

Chu Xuyao retorted, “We are not like you two who can’t keep their promises.”

The two of them remained silent, their faces flushed.

After paying for the tea, the four of them left the teahouse and parted ways.

On the way back, Chu Xuyuan could not help but ask, “Brother, what exactly is your plan? Will the other party really come out on their own?”

“Just wait and see, Seventh Brother,” Chu Xuyao replied. He wasn’t entirely sure himself, but he appeared confident.

Seeing that Chu Xuyao didn’t want to divulge more, Chu Xuyuan didn’t press further. His younger brother could be very secretive; when he didn’t want to talk, nothing could get him to open up.

In the Chu Village.

The workers of Chu Qingzhi’s family had all gathered in the factory area, lining up according to their respective workshops.

“Why did Qingzhi call everyone over?”

“Don’t be anxious. You’ll know in a while.”

“It must be something big, or she wouldn’t make such a fuss.”

Amidst the murmuring of the crowd, Chu Qingzhi emerged from the office building and approached the workers.

“I’ll get straight to the point. Our family is in the food business, and the most important thing in food production is cleanliness. To ensure cleanliness during production, I’m going to issue two sets of clothing to everyone. When you come to work in the workshop, you’ll wear the clothes I provide.”

“This is the clothing I’ll be distributing to everyone. Ordinary workers will wear these white clothes, while those in charge will have colored clothing.”

She began to show and explain each set of clothes…

After the clothing demonstration, Chu Qingzhi brought out hats. “Besides the clothing, we also have hats. When wearing these hats, all hair must be tucked inside to prevent any hair from falling into the food during production.”

Finally, she presented masks. “These are to be worn over the face to prevent saliva from splashing onto the food while speaking.”

“Wearing the work uniform, hat, and mask is mandatory. If anyone fails to comply, they won’t be allowed to enter the workshop. Please remember this.”

“The core of what I want to say has been covered, but there are a few more things everyone needs to keep in mind.”

“Firstly, if there’s an issue at any stage of food production, 1 will hold the responsible individual accountable. If discovered, that person will be immediately dismissed and banned from working in the workshop, and this includes their relatives and friends. Please be very careful.”

“Secondly, stealing anything from the workshop is strictly forbidden. If caught, the penalty will be ten times the value of the stolen items, and the offender will be immediately dismissed and permanently banned from working in the workshop, along with their relatives and friends.”

“Thirdly, if you accidentally damage any workshop tools, report it immediately. Those who come forward voluntarily will be treated leniently, but those who hide it and cause significant loss will bear full responsibility.”

“Fourthly, discussing workshop matters with outsiders is prohibited. If discovered, the penalty will be dismissed, and I will report it to the authorities. This could result in a fine and imprisonment. Everyone signed a confidentiality agreement upon joining, so don’t take any chances.”

“Fifth, and what everyone is most concerned about, is the selection of managers. Being a junior manager means a triple increase in salary and bonuses. Being a senior manager means a six-fold increase. However, the responsibility also increases proportionally. Please bear this in mind.”

“Additionally, the position of managers will not be permanent. They will be reevaluated every six months.”

“Next, Ruyue will announce the names of the junior and senior managers. Those called will come to me to collect their uniforms, hats, and masks. For now, everyone will receive two sets each. Those who don’t receive their clothing today needn’t worry, as it will be distributed to everyone gradually.”

Shen Ruyue approached with a list in hand. “Now, I will announce the names of the junior managers for the rice dumpling workshop. They are Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Gao Xia, Zhou Ying, and Sun Ju.”

The women selected for the rice dumpling workshop were mostly from the village, both middle-aged and younger.

The five women whose names were called wiped their hands on their clothes, nervously and excitedly walking towards Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi handed out the uniforms to each one of them.

They repeatedly thanked her, visibly moved and excited, with tears in their eyes as they stood aside with their new uniforms.

Shen Ruyue continued, “Next, I will announce the senior manager for the rice dumpling workshop…”

At this moment, all eyes were on her, everyone eager to know who the lucky person with a six-fold salary increase would be.

“Zhao Qiu!” Shen Ruyue’s voice rang out clearly.

Zhao Qiu was the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the village elder. Her being selected as the senior manager was not based on her relationship with the village elder but on her abilities.

Zhao Qiu was 25 years old and was the daughter of a declining family in the county. Her grandfather and the village elder were classmates.

She could read, she could calculate, and she had a certain level of knowledge.

When Chu Qingzhi and the others went to the capital, she helped the workshop solve a problem. Shen Ruyue gave her a huge credit.

Her appointment as the senior manager was widely supported, as her abilities were evident to everyone in the workshop.

Zhao Qiu, amidst the crowd, was so overwhelmed that she nearly fainted. “Is it me? Is it really me?”

Her aunts-in-law, supporting her, laughed, “Yes, it’s you. Go get your uniform.”

Zhao Qiu, dizzy with excitement, approached Chu Qingzhi and bowed deeply, “Thank you, Qingzhi. Thank you, Ruyue.”

Chu Qingzhi helped her up, “You deserve it.”

Zhao Qiu beamed, “Qingzhi, I will work hard and strive to increase our rice dumpling’s sales.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Good.”

Shen Ruyue patted Zhao Qiu’s shoulder. “Wait at the side for a moment. Once 1 finish reading the names, I have something else to say.”

Zhao Qiu crisply responded, “Okay..”
