Zhuang Qingning pointed out several places that needed repairs, and fixed the days for teaching workers to make dried noodles. When she saw the westward shift of the sun, she began to walk back home.
When she reached the village entrance, she saw a carriage parked there, which appeared to be unfamiliar to her.
Just as she was surprised, a man in his twenties of average build got down from the carriage.
Seeing Zhuang Qingning, the man greeted her with a bow, "You must be Manager Zhuang."
"Indeed." Zhuang took a look at him, confirmed that she didn't know him, then responded with a bow, "May I know who you are..."
"My name is Zhong Yingcai, I'm the chief manager under Master Chu, mainly responsible for dealing with all of his businesses and properties. This time, since master Chu intends to engage in soap business with Manager Zhuang, he instructed me to work with you to get this business started." Zhong Yingcai replied.
