After crossing, I was miserable.

Qian Duoduo wants to start another business, this time a fruit business, which requires a larger investment, so she needs to see how much money she actually has. Although Puppy Assistant has an electronic system that can accurately calculate her assets, she still needs to do an actual calculation to know if there is any difference between her actual assets and what she received.

In order to put pressure on everyone, Qian Duoduo spent a large sum of money to hire a very famous accountant from outside to check all the accounts again.

Don't say Qian Duoduo doesn't trust anyone, it's just that she can't trust anyone completely yet. She only trusts herself and Gouzi. You can say she's selfish, timid, or heartless. It's just that she's experienced too much betrayal, and sometimes she becomes numb to the word "trust".

Of course, she is not so unreasonable, and she allows for appropriate "mistakes", but she does not want others to think of her as a fool.

So when everyone heard Qian Duoduo introduce the accountant she brought, their expressions did not change much. But what they were thinking in their hearts, only they themselves knew.

Zhou She and Wang Bai are now in charge of the external accounts, Qian Xiaoqi is in charge of the accounts in the mansion, and Qian Yi is the general accountant. Zhou She is mainly responsible for Qian Duoduo's own business, and Wang Bai is responsible for the reconciliation and handover with Bai Ningchuan and others.

Normally, the accounts in the mansion did not need to be correct. Even if the people in the mansion were greedy, Qian Duoduo thought it was acceptable. But Qian Yingjun told her that there were big problems with the accounts and asked her to check them carefully.

So when she announced that the account would be reconciled by the head shopkeeper, she deliberately glanced at Xiao Qi and found that Xiao Qi was a little guilty. But she could only pretend that she didn't see it and wait until the account was reconciled before doing anything else.

Everyone handed in their own account books, and then she and the chief manager cross-checked the accounts. Everyone's account books were very detailed, and it didn't take long to finish. They were basically consistent with the automatic calculations of the system.

During the process of settling the accounts, Xiao Qi kept secretly glancing at Qian Duoduo. Seeing that Qian Duoduo's expression didn't change much at the end, Xiao Qi secretly let go of his worries.

Qian Yi did the final cleanup and sent the invited manager away. Qian Duoduo also said with a little tiredness: "Thank you for your hard work these days. This month and the next two months, we will give you high temperature subsidies, and increase your monthly salary by one tael. Xiaoqi, you will be responsible for distributing the money at home. Zhou She, you will be responsible for distributing the money at the store. Let everyone hold on for another two months. These two months are the busiest time."

"Yes, I've made a note of it. By the way, Miss, the store is short-handed recently. Should we hire some more people?"

Zhou She took advantage of the current situation and spoke quickly.

"Business has been very good recently, especially in the hot summer. Everyone likes to eat our food. It not only helps to cool down, but also tastes delicious. Most importantly, it is cheap. By the way, Mr. Zhou from the "Sifu" fast food restaurant also came to me and asked if we could sell it there. I sold it to them at the wholesale price and in the packaging format you gave me before, but I didn't tell them the recipe."

"Well, it's well done. The accounts are also very detailed. Just sell it according to what I agreed before. There's no need to buy people for the time being. Go hire some honest people who can do their job well."

"Yes, Miss."

"Wait, go to Chengnan College and find the teacher Zhao Houzhi there, and ask if there are any students who want to come here to work. Of course, they must meet our requirements and can't be too demanding in terms of price. But you must pay attention to their character."

Zhou She was not surprised by Qian Duoduo's proposal. From teaching the servants to read and write to cultivating Qian Yi's reading, it can be seen that she attaches great importance to reading. Although she is a girl, Zhou She still admires her very much.

Although she did not learn the knowledge from books, she has her own way of dealing with people and her business methods are really admirable.

"Yes, miss, I understand. I will arrange this matter. I will go and look for it myself."

Qian Duoduo nodded slightly and said to everyone, "Okay, you guys go down. Brother, you should go and get busy too."

Just when everyone was about to leave, Qian Duoduo spoke again: "Xiao Qi, you stay."

Xiao Qi suddenly froze in place, feeling a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. He slowly turned his head and saw the eldest lady drinking tea and not looking at him. But he didn't know why, but cold sweat began to break out on his back.

Qian Yi looked back at him when he left. Qian Yi didn't know what was going on, but thought that Duoduo was looking for Xiao Qi to tell him something, so he gave Xiao Qi an encouraging look when he left. He patted his shoulder and left. He didn't see Xiao Qi's look of asking for help at all.

"Sit down." Qian Duoduo said to Xiao Qi with a smile. But for some reason, Xiao Qi felt that the eldest lady's smile was a little eerie.

Qian Duoduo didn't say anything, just smiled at Xiaoqi. The more Qian Duoduo smiled, the more Qian Xiaoqi felt a little uneasy. She knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Miss, Miss, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong." After saying that, she knelt there and cried.

Qian Duoduo was confused. She hadn't asked yet. Was he going to confess? How could he be so bold as to be a thief?

When Qian Xiaoqi saw this situation, he became even more frightened. The eldest lady didn't even talk to him, but he finally blurted out everything.

"Miss, I really didn't mean it. I secretly used some money to redeem Miss Hua'er. I have already thought about it. I will not receive the monthly salary from now on. I will make up the money as soon as possible."

Qian Duoduo held his forehead with his hands, this kid is really too proud. He was even redeemed by someone else.

"Xiao Qi, I'm not against you doing this. But you have to know that you have to do everything within your own capacity and not put yourself in a position of responsibility beyond your ability. Have you ever thought that if you secretly embezzled the money of someone else's family, you would be beaten to death or sold out again? Do you want to sacrifice yourself to help others? Even if you do, if I report you to the police and say that you stole the money from the family, the money will be recovered, but the girl will still be sent back to her original place. Have you thought about all this?"

"Me? Me? I..." Xiao Qi's face flushed.

"You never thought I would do this to you, did you? Are you taking advantage of my kindness?"

"Miss, Miss, I didn't, I really didn't. I just didn't think that much." Then, Xiao Qi crawled to Qian Duoduo's feet and kowtowed, "Miss, I really know I was wrong, I really didn't think that way, you have to believe me, you must believe me..."

"Okay, I get it. Get up, Xiaoqi. Do you understand what I mean? If you really have trouble, you can come to me directly instead of doing something behind my back."

Qian Xiaoqi didn't say anything, just kowtowed there.

Qian Duoduo had no choice but to fine him one year's salary. He felt better and left with a crying cat face.

Qian Yingjun asked her, "Why don't you tell him the truth? Didn't I tell you that he was cheated?"

Qian Duoduo shook his head helplessly. With some people and some things, they will only turn back when they hit a wall.
