Sheng Chang'an looked at these storybooks with an expressionless face, and it was hard to describe them in words. Du Ruo and others stood below trembling with fear. Du Zhong, Madam Du and others also arrived one after another.

"Whose idea was this?" Sheng Changan knocked on the table.

"It's mine." Du Ruyu stood up first. Du Ruo thought she had secretly glanced at Sheng Changan, but couldn't see anything. She bit her lip.

She wasn't the type to put all the blame on her friends. "I was involved, too."

The rest of the people spoke almost at the same time. What surprised Sheng Changan was that Changqing also got involved. Perhaps because of his experience since childhood, he had never been in trouble in the academy. This was the first time.

She didn't expect that these kids have such a good relationship now. Sheng Changan took a look at the account book. Du Ruyu and Du Ruo paid the most. Such shops are almost spread across all the counties under her control.

But they also did good things, donating money to orphanages in various counties, and also to people who were in difficult circumstances when they first arrived, but...

Sheng Changan looked at the IOU and twitched her lips. She hadn't expected these kids to borrow money privately. Although the interest rate wasn't high, the idea...

"Whose idea was this?" These kids actually made such a big fuss without her knowing.

This time it was Zhou Shi who took the initiative to stand up and said, "...It's me"

Sheng Changan was not surprised. It is said that children from poor families become independent early, let alone them. They have experienced a lot and are ten years old this year, which is also the age to be independent.

And judging by their grades in school, they are all among the best, among them Zhou Shi is the most precocious, or should we say Ye Xingzhou.

Ye Ru's face changed again and again, and she felt a little guilty. It was only today that she found out that the courtyard they lived in was actually under Xingzhou's name. She really thought it was the Du family's house and they were just living there temporarily.

Mrs. Du looked calm. She knew that the adults would not have any objections. It was just a routine inquiry. However, Xingzhou was indeed a little surprised.

Although Du Zhong was a little anxious, he knew that he couldn't speak to avoid adding fuel to the fire.

Zhou Lin pinched the corner of his clothes and said, "But sir, we have screened people and we have never borrowed people who have committed crimes. They are all new here and are poor at the moment."

"We only collected a small portion of the interest."

"We used the money we earned to do good things," Changqing echoed, his voice sounding a little aggrieved.

Sheng Changan sighed helplessly, "I didn't mean to say anything about you, but from now on, you are not allowed to write anything related to me."

"Ah?" Du Ruo felt a little disappointed. You know, the adult picture books are the best-selling ones. How could she not be disappointed? But seeing Sheng Changan's expression that he would definitely not agree, she still lowered her head and said, "I understand."

Her plan was quite good. She would just wait until this period was over and then find someone to continue writing.

Sheng Changan raised his eyebrows. "If there are any more stories about me circulating, I will blame them all on you and fine you according to the severity of the offense."

She paused. The others remained expressionless, but Du Ruyu looked obviously relieved, as if it was just a small fine.

So she curled her lips slightly and said, "The shop has been closed. Once it is closed, it will not be allowed to operate within three years."

This incident reminded her that shops in the city still needed certain procedures. At least she had to have information about what kind of business they were doing.

"Alright, you guys go back! Ye Xingzhou, Ye Ru stay."

After everyone left, Sheng Changan looked at the ten-year-old boy intently. "Is it really as Zhou Lin said? Are you really thinking about those people who are currently in poverty?"

Ye Xingzhou was shocked, but still gritted his teeth and said nothing.
