Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

Wu Xu glanced around, and before Mu Qingyan could speak, Manager Hong hurried forward to report: "Boss, Madam is checking the operation of the workshop and understanding the work of us managers."

Ran He raised his eyes slightly, with a touch of casual gentleness, and cast a meaningful look at Manager Hong. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said: "It's not a big deal. It's just that I, the new owner, have a little understanding of the daily management of our workshop. I didn't expect that this seemingly complicated job is so simple that it seems that an ordinary servant can do it with ease. Manager Hong, I see your ability. It is really unfair to put such a talent in such a basic position. I think I should find a place for Manager Hong where you can better display your talents. However, the workshop's affairs still require your nod of approval. It happens that you are here at this moment, so why not listen to my little suggestion, what do you think?"

Her tone was gentle but with unquestionable power. Wu Xu stood aside. Even though Ran He had never directly accused Hong Xiaoting or Manager Hong, Wu Xu could keenly capture the hidden dissatisfaction and determination from her delicate words.

Manager Hong's negligent behavior, especially his disrespect towards his own wife, was sufficient reason for Wu Xu to replace him.

After all, the rice cake workshop nominally belongs to Ran He, and he is only an agent for operation. When the owner is neglected and the subordinates ignore the authority of their superiors, especially in the business field, such a situation is tantamount to challenging the boss's bottom line. Which boss can safely hand over the business to such a person?

Wu Xu's voice was steady and powerful, revealing a firmness that could not be refuted: "Manager Hong's talent really should not be buried here. This is my oversight. I am really sorry for letting you worry about these trivial matters."

Upon hearing this, Manager Hong's heart tightened. He was not stupid and he heard the hidden meaning in Wu Xu's words clearly.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Wu Xu interrupted him directly, "Manager Hong, please rest assured. The workshop will never treat you unfairly. We will give you an extra month's salary as compensation."

Manager Hong looked bitter and confused, as if he didn't understand why the situation took a sudden turn for the worse. He looked at Ran He helplessly, with pleading eyes: "Auntie, I was not very articulate just now. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

Ran He shook his head gently, his voice soft but firm: "Manager Hong, you are too serious. I just want to make things more concise and efficient."

Manager Hong was speechless for a moment, and then he said quickly: "I... I can take a pay cut and stay on."

"That's not necessary."

Ran He smiled calmly, "Manager Hong, you have great talent. Why worry about not being able to make a name for yourself in other worlds?"

Wu Xu's eyes turned cold, and Manager Hong immediately stopped talking and dared not say any more.

After the group left, Manager Hong had a worried look on his face, Hong Xiaoting was frightened and silent, while the female workers around them were secretly delighted and almost applauded.

After leaving the workshop, Ran He immediately gave instructions: "Re-evaluate the junior managers in the workshop, replace those who are unqualified, and select capable people from the female workers to fill the vacancies."

Wu Xu quickly admitted his mistake: "It was my negligence."

Yan Shisan hurriedly added an explanation: "Aunt, I was blind. I thought he was smart and capable, so I entrusted the workshop to him, but I didn't expect him to be just a show. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Ran He looked at Yan Shisan who was loyally protecting his master, and sighed helplessly: "I haven't said anything yet, how could I not know your master's temper?"

Her trust in Yan Shisan is obvious, and Wu Xu is by no means a brainless person.

Although the workshop was managed by Wu Xu, the specific execution mostly relied on his subordinates, and he himself acted more as a decision maker.

"Thirteen, sort out the personnel arrangements in the workshop, and strengthen supervision in the mixing room to prevent anyone from entering without permission."

The essence of rice cake lies in the ingredients. Although all the ingredients are prepared in advance by Ran He in a dedicated space, the fewer people who know about it before the final production, the better.

She never underestimates anyone's wisdom. Just as the fuel oil workshop cherishes its recipe, the secret recipe of the rice cake workshop's ingredients is equally valuable.

Afterwards, Ran He inspected several houses again. Just as the two of them reached the door, a figure suddenly jumped out and knelt at their feet.

"Auntie, please let my uncle go. I promise I will never cause you any trouble again."

Hong Xiaoting's eyes were filled with tears, and she would occasionally glance at Wu Xu.

Ran He looked at her with interest, "Making trouble?"

I wonder what this girl is imagining?

Hong Xiaoting pleaded pitifully: "Aunt, I really have nothing to do with the Dong family, please don't misunderstand. I am willing to leave, but please don't blame uncle. Woo woo... It's all my fault. I harmed uncle."

Although the people watching around did not dare to say anything, their eyes were full of sympathy when they looked at Ran He.

There have been rumors in the market that Hong Xiaoting has some intentions towards her employer, either overtly or covertly.

It is difficult to tell whether these rumors are true or false. As for whether the boss really has any improper behavior, most people do not believe it and are more inclined to think that it is just Hong Xiaoting's unrequited love.

Of course, some people also made malicious speculations, believing that the boss was good at covering up things and might have already had an affair with Hong Xiaoting in private, but had never made it public.

This kind of people always like to judge others with their own narrow-mindedness, thinking that it would be a waste not to take the benefits that are offered to them. What's more, Hong Xiaoting is quite pretty, so the employer naturally has no reason to refuse.

Today, Hong Xiaoting's disturbance made people who were already suspicious of the relationship between the two even more certain that there must be an unspeakable secret between the Dong family and Hong Xiaoting.

The bystanders who were originally skeptical, after hearing Hong Xiaoting describe that the purpose of the lady's visit was to expel her and her uncle, especially emphasizing that everything was caused by her, the complex emotional entanglement behind this was enough to arouse people's imagination even without words, and a plot of love and hate emerged in people's minds.

Ran He and Wu Xu, both of whom were so smart, how could they not see through the deep meaning of the attempt to sow discord? This intention was almost blatantly on their faces, without any cover.

An ordinary woman, even if she deeply loves her husband, would probably inadvertently plant the seeds of suspicion under such deliberate instigation.

Not to mention those women who are deeply bound by tradition. In order to stop the gossips of the public and avoid being condemned as jealous women, they may really put on an "understanding" appearance and accept this uninvited intruder for their husbands.

Hong Xiaoting's move was indeed brilliant.

She herself was extremely intelligent and fully aware of the current situation. She knew that after this series of events, there would be no place for her and her uncle in the workshop.

If she wanted to turn the tide, she had to go all out, and she thought she had a sure win in this gamble.

After all, in that era deeply bound by feudal ethics, the norms of female virtue were like shackles, binding the minds and freedom of countless women. How many women had accepted their husbands taking concubines with tears, just in exchange for the false reputation of being "virtuous and kind."
