“I came with Big Brother Lian Rong hoping to visit Uncle Zhang, but I didn’t know where Uncle Zhang lived. It was a coincidence that Big Brother Lian Rong was shopping at the store and I pleaded to come with him.”

“I see.” Zhang Yongchang took another sip of his tea, “Miss Zhuang, about this issue.”

“I have been at Fushun Tower for more than a decade, initially moving to the town due to domestic reasons. Manager Feng’s offer was reasonable and he didn’t interfere much with the kitchen affairs so, I thought it was doable and stayed at Fushun Tower. Over time, I couldn’t be bothered to move again. Feng has his flaws and occasionally does things that I disapprove of. However, after working together for many years, we developed a bond. Although people aren’t perfect, there were no major disputes in our daily interactions, so we continued this way.”

“Regarding this current matter, I had a hint a few days ago. Feng has a temper like wheat straw, easily ignited. In general, he always wants to solve problems immediately and never leaves them for the next day. The time we delivered vegetables, he felt he was in the right and believed that Lian Rong and I were at fault. By all means, he should have lost his temper. However, he was silent for a while, which indicates that he had other plans targeting me. He adopted a taciturn strategy only to reveal his thoughts when everything was in place.”

“When I heard Manager Feng talking about this, firstly, I wasn’t taken by surprise, secondly, I didn’t get angry. Collaborations are about matching, if we agree we work together, if not we don’t. As far as I’m concerned, it’s just another job. If this one doesn’t work out, I just move on to another. To be honest, I have been working for so many years without any expenditures and have saved a sizeable sum of money. Even if I don’t work in the future, this money will be enough to live comfortably in old age.”

“I’ve come to terms with this matter and think it through. At first, I felt a twinge of regret that Manager Feng had taken this fellowship of many years to such an outcome, where he plotted against me. But after staying at home for a day or two, I came to realize that most relationships are based on mutual benefits. If you are beneficial to someone, they are beneficial to you, the bond will exist and be strengthened. Once one party no longer benefits the other, this bond may fade, or even disappear.”

“As for the so-called credit for my contributions to Fushun Tower, it simply doesn’t exist. Over the years of working at Fushun Tower, I have duly received my annual wages. It is a fair trade-off between wages and effort, and we don’t need to bring up the subject of credit and meritorious service.”

“Once I understood this, I felt a tremendous sense of relief, and my dissatisfaction was completely gone.”

“So, Miss Zhuang, you don’t need to worry about this matter. After all, I am someone who has lived for most of my life and have a clear understanding of things, I won’t get hung up on this.”

Zhang Yongchang laughed, “Can’t you see I’m practicing noodle pulling here? I thought I would take advantage of this break to get better at the things I’m not good at, like pies, shumai, dumplings, and noodles. This way, I can produce a few decent dishes and this time will not be wasted.”

Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips.

She understood Zhang Yongchang’s attitude and his words indeed spoke his mind.

However, understanding the principle is one thing, and accepting it is another.

That’s why many people still do things even though they know it’s risky, and why many people can’t control their emotions even though they know some things can’t be undone and there’s no point in being sad.

At this moment, Zhang Yongchang may be expressing a clear and open-minded attitude, but it doesn’t mean he is not upset. He just doesn’t want to show his emotions and make others worry.

Especially Lian Rong.

After all, in Zhang Yongchang’s view, Lian Rong lost a good job because of him. If he makes Lian Rong worry about him all the time, he’ll feel even more guilty.
