Wanjin Lady.

Chapter 38 Resignation
Everyone chuckled a few times, and the atmosphere eased a little. They watched as Master Zhang took the lead and the others followed like carp crossing the river.

After entering the house, it was packed with people.

They were talking animatedly earlier, but now the room was completely silent.

Many people noticed Ma Changshun who had taken his seat first.

This old Ma, he didn't even remind them when the boss came, how rude! As expected, he kept silent on weekdays, but he couldn't hold back his fart at the critical moment.

Ma Changshun received several cold stares for no reason. He felt mixed emotions and wanted to explain, but felt it was unnecessary, so he just sat up straight.

Wen Wan tapped the table lightly and spoke straight to the point, "After my father became seriously ill, the winery's business plummeted. I'm sure everyone is aware of the Wen family's difficulties. I understand that everyone has opinions. As the saying goes, water flows to the lowest places, and people go to the highest places. I shouldn't stop you from leaving. But we've worked together for many years, and I believe you have feelings for the Wen family winery. If you trust me and are willing to work with my Wen family through thick and thin, I, Wen Wan, can promise you that I will never let you down when business recovers!"

Seeing that Wen Wan did not blame them, but instead talked about the issue of staying or leaving openly, the masters who had been silent just now suddenly became courageous.

"Young Master, don't talk about those empty words. Just tell me this month's wages... can you pay them?"

Wen Wan sighed, "Shi Jinquan took the account book with him. Not only are we left with no wages, but we also don't have the money for the corn we need to make wine after the autumn harvest."

Everyone had a dejected expression of "as expected".

There is not even money to buy corn, which means that Wenjia Winery will not produce any wine in the second half of this year or even the first half of next year!
This is a fatal blow to the winery!
Someone continued to ask, "When will the winery be able to recover?"

Wen Wan pointed upwards and said, "Only God knows."

Everyone in the hall looked ashen.

Those who are quick-witted already have ideas.

There were even some brave ones who spoke up after a moment's thought, "Young Master, if you can move a tree, it will die, but if you can move a person, he will live. Since the Wen Family Winery is a dead end, you can't blame us for finding another way out!"

Mother Chen saw Wen Wan's face showing a contrived expression of shame and uneasiness again.

"This...this...but this month's wages are—"

The man waved his hands loudly, as if he couldn't wait to leave this damn place, the Wen Family Winery. "Never mind, never mind. I won't make things difficult for you. I haven't worked these past few months, and I don't have any monthly salary... Forget it. As long as the young master doesn't deliberately hinder my future, that's fine."

"Of course. Let's part ways amicably. No matter where you go in the future, the Wen Family Winery will always be your home!" Wen Wan said slowly, looking up at the hesitant people in the hall, "Everyone, is there anyone else who wants to leave?"

Seeing Wen Wan being so polite, someone else took the lead, and those who had been hesitant before did not bother to think and followed suit.

"Young Master, I want to leave too."

Someone said something very nice, "If we leave, it will also reduce the burden on the young master, right? Otherwise, the winery will not be able to operate, but we will have to support people like us to eat for free. We will be embarrassed!"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Ma Changshun's face.

He speaks in such high-sounding terms, isn't it just to get out before the Wen family's ship sinks?

Fortunately, the boss treats these people very well, and he always helps any family that has any problems.

In a short while, most of the people in the main hall had left.

As soon as Wen Wan agreed to let them leave, they couldn't wait to go to the side room to pack their bags. Those who left had happy expressions on their faces, while those who stayed looked at each other in bewilderment, looking at a loss.

Of the forty or fifty masters, only twelve remained. Wen Wan knew the truth perfectly well.

Those who stay may not be loyal, it’s just that their skills are not good enough and they can’t find a place to go outside.

But enough is enough.

Without any effort, we can politely fire so many old employees who are cheating and shirking their responsibilities, and save some money immediately. This is a win-win situation.

Wen Wan looked at Ma Changshun, and Ma Changshun immediately expressed his stance: "Young Master, as long as the Wen Family Winery exists, I, Ma Changshun, will stay here and will not go anywhere."

She smiled gently and looked at Zhang Jiping again.

She was a little surprised that Zhang Jiping didn't leave.

But then he figured it out. As a company veteran, a high-ranking executive, he might not be able to find a suitable position at another company. Instead of going out into the world at such an old age, why not retire on this shabby Wen family boat? At least he could get by every month, right?

The major workshops would never easily fire their master chefs unless they were truly unable to survive.

A workshop without its master chef is like a person without limbs.

If you fire a highly respected master chef, you will easily be criticized.

Zhang Jiping shook the jade pipe at his waist and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, with wrinkles on his face. "When the boss is in trouble, we must stick together."

"Good!" Wen Wan clapped her hands and smiled. "It's Wen Wan's good fortune to have two masters at the Wen Family Winery. Especially Master Ma. Daddy once said that you have great skills and noble character, and asked me to ask you for advice on everything."

Ma Changshun was confused. Did the boss value him so much?

Why didn't you reveal anything before?

After all this time, it turns out the boss is a shy and introverted person?
Zhang Jiping's expression changed slightly.

"Since you are someone my father trusts, you are naturally someone I, Wen Wan, trust as well. I can't treat my own people unfairly. How about this: from today on, Master Ma will temporarily take the position of Second Master, and his salary, benefits, and other treatment will all be the same as Master Zhang's."

Second Master?
what is that?
Zhang Jiping's eyelids twitched, and he almost blurted out something to stop him immediately, "Young Master, this is inappropriate! The Wen Family Winery has never had a second master before."

"So what?" Wen Wan replied with a smile. "There's no precedent, so let's start with Master Ma. Master Zhang, you're old and your legs aren't handy, so you can let Master Ma do the rough work of making wine. You're the master of the winery, so let the boys do the rough work. If you collapse from exhaustion, my father won't forgive me."

Zhang Jiping was so stunned that he was speechless.

When did Wenwan, who was always quiet and reserved in my impression, become so powerful?

I just don't know whether the young master's concern is genuine or fake.

Ma Changshun was given a promotion without any context. Before he could figure out his current situation, he heard the young master making arrangements. "Since Master Ma has been promoted to Second Master, he needs to move to another room. Well, there aren't any other rooms in the winery, and Master Zhang has to go home every day, so why not give his room to Master Ma first?"

Ma Changshun has come to his senses now. Could it be that the young master wants him to compete with Master Zhang?
Didn’t you see that Master Zhang’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was going to eat someone in the next second!
The one who eats it is still Ma Changshun!

Oh, what does the young master mean by this? Isn’t she afraid that Master Zhang will leave the winery in anger?

You are really young and don’t understand the rules of this industry.

How could one easily offend the master chef in the winery?
