Chapter 288 Extra: Konoha Arc
Shengjing.
Autumn makeup askew.
A woman in blue was looking down, leisurely picking up a teacup and taking a sip.
Her eyelids were slightly lowered, and one hand was placed in front of her.
She slightly raised her right hand, her fingertips curling upwards, and her thumb pinched the page in front of her, her gaze fixed on it.
He looked extremely serious.
She wore the lightest shade of lip rouge, and her whole being exuded a cool and aloof aura.
She quickly scanned the contents in front of her, pointed to a line of text above, and said softly, "The numbers here are different from what I remember. Let's recalculate them and check everything we haven't looked at yet. I don't want to see such simple mistakes again."
She picked up the ledger in front of her and casually tossed it to the person next to her.
His tone left no room for argument.
The person next to him glanced at him quickly with his head down, then nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Miss Konoha, I'll go right away."
Konoha gave a soft hum and raised her hand. "Go down. As for the rest, just leave them here."
After saying that, Konoha picked up a ledger from the side and began to look at it.
Since Sang Luan and Meng Youning left, Sun Jingfu and Mu Ye have taken good care of Qiu Zhuangxie.
Sun Jingfu was in charge of matters related to guests, while Mu Ye was mainly responsible for matters such as accounts.
Sun Jingfu originally thought that Konoha was only slightly sensitive to numbers, but he did not expect her memory to be so good.
In addition, before leaving, the two owners also told him about Qiuzhuangxie, so Konoha could also handle it.
Judging from what the two employers said, it seems they won't be coming back.
But Mu Ye and Sun Jingfu never considered themselves the masters of Qiu Zhuang Xie.
Aside from recruiting a large number of people to make lip balm and perfume, Konoha spends most of his time in the accounting office.
In her own words, she would rather spend more time dealing with numbers than play mind games with people.
Fortunately, under Konoha's strict control, the accounts of Qiuzhuang Xie's comings and goings have never gone wrong in the past few years.
It even became a target for cooperation among other merchants.
Some people even had ulterior motives, wanting to recruit Konoha into their shops.
After all, who wouldn't want such a talented person?
But no matter how generous the reward offered, Konoha's answer is always the same.
Qiuzhuangxie was not just a cosmetics shop, but also her home.
Unless the owner personally intervenes and asks her to leave, she will not leave Qiuzhuangxie on her own.
Konoha has temporarily become the second most important person in charge of Qiuzhuangxie.
She closed the ledger in her hand. "There are no problems with any of these. Keep a close eye on the new materials that arrive each day, and make sure there are no mistakes."
"The newly made ones should be prioritized for the ladies in the palace, then for those who have paid a deposit, and the rest can be displayed later."
She pointed to a person not far away, "Little Peach, come here. I remember that shop in the south of the city received a batch of lipsticks from Qiuzhuang around this time last month. I think they should be out of stock by now. Send someone to ask if they still want to order from us. If they do, sign the order tomorrow. If not, find another shop and get them to order from us as soon as possible."
The maid, called Little Peach, nodded emphatically.
"Miss Konoha, you've been watching for a full hour now, it's time to rest."
Konoha waved his hand, "It's alright."
Suddenly, someone at the door said urgently, "Miss Konoha, the shopkeepers you arranged to meet have all arrived."
Konoha lifted her dress and quickly stood up, her eyes resolute. "Come on, let's go take a look together."
After a stick of incense.
Mu Ye frowned slightly, and Sun Jingfu, who happened to be passing by and saw this scene, stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Ye sighed, "None of those people met the standards for the materials used in Qiuzhuang Xie. This is the second batch today."
Sun Jingfu: "I thought it was something serious. Luckily, I'm not too busy today, so you can go and take a look at the East Market."
Konoha's eyes brightened slightly. "East Market?"
A quarter of an hour later.
East Market.
Konoha's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes a little.
His gaze fell on a certain spot ahead, and a hint of interest appeared on his face.
She took a step forward.
Suddenly, a person whose appearance was obscured rushed out, grabbed her hand, and asked urgently, "I heard you're hiring here, right? What do you think of me?"
His voice was very soft, so soft that even Konoha, who was very close to him, could only make out a few words.
Konoha frowned, a foul odor suddenly rushing into his nostrils.
When she looked up again, she noticed that the person in front of her had messy hair, wore tattered clothes, and had two holes in his knees.
His messy hair covered half of his face.
Konoha smiled slightly and reached out to grab his arm. "Don't rush, tell me slowly."
The person in front of him suddenly raised his eyes, narrowing them into slits, while still tightly gripping Konoha's hand.
Konoha's pupils contracted sharply, and he blurted out instinctively, "Xiang Hongxuan?"
The person in front of me kept saying, "Please find me, I'm strong and can do the work, please."
With a single glance from Konoha, the thugs beside him immediately stepped forward and pulled the person away.
Xiang Hongxuan looked at Mu Ye with pleading eyes, his gaze filled with nothing but longing for a job.
Everyone in his household, except for him, was punished by the Emperor.
But the emperor took all the houses, and he didn't have a single penny left.
Incredibly, no one in the entire capital city was willing to hire him!
He had no choice but to beg for a living.
Today, however, I saw someone familiar.
It seems that God hasn't been too unkind to him.
Konoha glanced at him coldly. "Don't you look down on women the most? Don't you despise the things women use? I don't have the guts to ask you to do the work."
Xiang Hongxuan shook his head. "No, look at me again. I know I was wrong. I was a bastard. Please, be magnanimous and give me a chance to eat. Please, please."
He suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily towards Konoha.
Konoha silently looked away, pulled her clothes closer, and left without looking back.
Only the crisp sound of kowtows remained behind them.
Soon after finishing his business in Konoha, he returned to his own private residence.
Over the years, she saved up money to buy herself a house.
Not too big, not too small; it's just right for the two of them to live in.
The sky gradually darkened.
She stood by the window, wearing only a thin shirt, gazing outside.
She tilted her head slightly, counting the stars in the sky with great interest.
The person behind them lit the candles in the room one by one and slowly walked to Konoha's side.
He wrapped his arms around Mu Ye's slender waist and gently kissed her face. "I heard you ran into that person from the Xiang family today?"
Mu Ye gave a soft "hmm," and the hot water exhaled from the person behind her sprayed onto her neck, causing her to involuntarily shrink back.
He grasped Konoha's hand in return and scooped her up in his arms. "It's alright, those things don't matter anymore. From now on, having me is enough for you."
