In the late morning, employees began to converge from all directions towards the grand hall. It didn’t take long for them to gather into a sizable group within the hall. They stood on their tiptoes, craning their necks, glancing in the direction of Su Shen and Gu Zi while murmuring amongst themselves. Their faces were filled with eager anticipation, as typically when Su Shen called for a meeting, it was to deliver good news.

A few distinct voices could be heard amidst the hum of the crowd, “Brother Shen increased our pay last month, could it be another raise?”

In the midst of the lively atmosphere, Su Shen stood next to Gu Zi, his gaze lingering on her for a while before he asked in a low voice, ‘You look a bit pale, what’s wrong?”

He had been busy in his office until it was time to announce the news. When he went to fetch Gu Zi, she was already in this state. If he hadn’t seen that the meat at the stall was almost sold out, he would have thought it was due to some issue with the stall.

Gu Zi’s lips were taut. She looked up to meet the man’s gaze. His eyes were deeper than most, his nose prominent, giving his eye sockets a profound depth. His eyelashes were somewhat long. While others might find his gaze cold and distant, Gu Zi found his eyes comforting and soothing.

Her mood shifted as she looked into his eyes, and a radiant smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. “Let’s discuss the matter at hand first, I’ll talk to you about the rest later.”

After saying this, she took his hand and together they faced the dozens of employees. Seeing this, the employees stopped their chatter and turned their attention to their boss and his wife.

Su Shen responded with a simple “okay” to Gu Zi. As he looked at his employees, his handsome face regained its usual cool composure. His lips pressed into a thin line, and the aura of a leader, both gentle and powerful, instantly enveloped him. It was a commanding presence that demanded respect, causing everyone to hold their breath in submission.

When the hall had quieted down to the point where only the squeals of pigs from the pen could be heard, Su Shen began to speak. “I’ve gathered everyone here today to discuss two matters. First, Gu Zi is my wife. I am officially announcing that she now has managerial rights over the pig farm.

On the surface, it was presented as an employee welfare policy, with considerable discounts on prices. However, it directly prohibited a long-standing, unspoken special privilege—taking the cheaper parts for free. Why the sudden change?

“I’m not bothered, I generally don’t take anything home anyway. I only took two pig heads last year during the New Year for offerings. They weren’t particularly tasty, so it’s no big deal if I can’t take them anymore.”

“So, we can’t cook pig heads to accompany our drinks anymore? We have to buy them ourselves! I think it does matter.”

“Ah Zhuang, I remember your family used to make cured pig heads with the ones you got for free, right? That means your family will have a reduced income this year.”

Ah Zhuang, who was among the crowd, was inevitably pointed out. While others only took a little of the pig heads and feet when needed, Ah Zhuang frequently took them home. His mother would turn them into cured pig heads and feet. By the end of the year, when every household was preparing for the New Year, they would set up a stall in town to sell them for a lot of money..
