Before coming here, she was looking at the account books in her room, which made her very worried. She came to see Zhao Xuancheng just to clear her mind.

"Brother Zhao, please sit down quickly. Sorry, I was busy just now. Is there anything you want to talk to me about today?" Xiao Wan saw Zhao Xuancheng stood up and seemed a little restrained, so she quickly put on a smile and said.

However, Zhao Xuancheng was tall and graceful, with a clear and upright face. Combined with the appearance in the original owner's memory, he could indeed be considered a gentleman.

Zhao Xuancheng seemed to relax a little. After sitting down, he said, "Xiao... County Master, I heard that the Xiao family workshop needs to hire an accountant, right? I also heard my second uncle mentioned this at home, so I came to ask you, County Master."

Xiao Wan remembered the notice she asked Zhao Laoer to post in the workshop and nodded and said yes.

"I wonder if Brother Zhao has any candidates to recommend?" Xiao Wan didn't think that Zhao Xuancheng was the one who wanted to be the accountant. After all, he was a scholar and she couldn't afford him.

"It was recommended by someone. It was a former classmate of mine. We studied together for a few years, but he wasn't very lucky. After passing the examination to become a Tongsheng, he didn't make any further progress. So he gave up the imperial examination and has been unemployed ever since."

Xiao Wan became interested. Tongsheng is not bad, but she doesn't know how he is good at accounting.

Zhao Xuancheng seemed to see through her thoughts and interests, and smiled slightly. Xiao Wan looked at him curiously, which was a bit cute.

"He's weak in writing but good at math, which is why he didn't have the chance to advance further. Furthermore, this classmate is a man of integrity and serious about his work. He used to work as a bookkeeper at a restaurant in town, but because he refused to help the owner falsify the accounts, the owner fabricated a crime and fired him. Now he helps out with the farming at home."

"I think it's a pity, so I recommend this classmate to you. If the county lady is interested, I can let him come and give it a try. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter." Zhao Xuancheng said.

It was true that I wanted to recommend my classmate, and it was also true that I wanted to meet her.

"That's great! Brother Zhao, you've come at the perfect time. I was just worried about looking at the account books and doing the math. Brother Zhao, you don't have to be polite to me. Just call me Xiao Wan. My family and Grandpa Zhao are very close."

Xiao Wan was overjoyed after hearing what Zhao Xuancheng said. It was like a pillow had appeared after she dozed off. She was just worrying about settling the accounts, and Zhao Xuancheng gave her a surprise.

A student, and a student who specializes in mathematics. He sounds like a very upright person. If mathematics is really as good as Zhao Xuancheng said, then he would have picked up a treasure.

"Since he was recommended by Brother Zhao, his character and ability must be outstanding. Then, Brother Zhao, you can tell him my conditions. He is the only accountant at the moment, so he might be a bit busy. The monthly salary is five taels of silver, and all meals are in the cafeteria, but accommodation is not provided."

"Also, there will be gifts and bonuses every holiday. If the performance is good, the bonus will be even greater. Well, that's it for now. Brother Zhao, please ask him to come and try it out. If both sides are suitable, then we will sign a labor agreement."

Zhao Xuancheng didn't expect Xiao Wan to trust him so much and agree so readily. Maybe Xiao Wan still treats him differently.

He was a little excited in his heart, but nodded calmly. "Okay, I'll go over and tell him today to come and report tomorrow. The salary in the workshop is much better than the restaurant in town, and there are no messy things to worry about. I'm sure he will be happy to come."

"In that case, I'll trouble Brother Zhao. By the way, Tian Shuang, go to the kitchen and find Aunt Zhang, and pack two bags of freshly baked egg cakes for Brother Zhao to take away. Also, pack some of Aunt Zhang's new meat and duck products, as well as vermicelli and rice noodles." Xiao Wan instructed Tian Shuang. She didn't know how to thank Zhao Xuancheng for his kindness. It was not appropriate to give him money, and it was difficult to say anything else. She could only pack some food.

"You're welcome. I'm already very grateful that you agreed to allow my classmate to come and work. You don't have to ask for anything else." Zhao Xuancheng declined. Since she didn't allow him to call her "County Lady", he would just call her "you". Calling her anything else didn't seem appropriate.

"Brother Zhao, I'm not being polite. The egg cake is soft and melts in your mouth. The village head and his wife will definitely like it. Besides, you haven't tried our butcher shop and duck products. It would be nice to bring some back for your family to try." Xiao Wan advised sincerely.

Zhao Xuancheng did not refuse any more. After the maid brought the things, Zhao Xuancheng thanked her and left. Xiao Wan personally saw him off to the door.
