Chapter 262: Katoriko joins Fluttershy
On Katoriko's twenty-eighth birthday, she was very complicated, but fortunately a letter came from Beiyan, which read:
Beloved:
Today is your twenty-eighth birthday, I hope you are happy and I wish you blessings at home. I also bought you a ring, you must like it, but we are separated by two places, I can't put it on your own hands, I think we can look at the same moon, make a betrothal, this ring will be yours from now on, and when you come back, it will be wedding day, and I will wear this ring on the hand of my favorite wife.
Thinking of the ring, thinking of getting married, thinking of getting married when she goes back, Katoriko cried with joy, this is the best birthday gift, although it is empty at this time, but Beiyan's promise is true, she sees a bright future, and is full of confidence.
"Don't cry." Fluttershy comforts her.
Kakatoriko's tears flowed non-stop, and she stretched out her hand, as if she saw a glittering wedding ring.
"Here we are." Fluttershy hears the footsteps of Su Beicheng and gets up to pick them up, and Katoriko is busy wiping away her tears, taking the letter and carrying it in her arms.
"Why is the birthday star red-eyed?" Su Beicheng asked with a smile.
"It's fine." Katoriko wiped away her tears and said, "Sit down quickly, and I'll clean up." β
She then went to the house and tidied up in front of the mirror.
"What's wrong with Sister Xuan?" Tao Ye asked.
"It's okay, my fiancΓ© sent me a letter, and I cried with joy." Fluttershy says, "Okay, we're not good at it, we're not skilled, so let's make a table of dishes and eat them so far." β
Fluttershy leads them to the table, and everyone eats together, Tao Xin and Su Beicheng have both eaten, but still eat some, but Tao Ye is very hungry and eats deliciously, but he feels guilty, because he forgot to come over for dinner tonight, otherwise he would not agree to Blaise's invitation.
An hour later, everyone had eaten, Tao Ye stayed here to help clean up the mess, and Su Beicheng and Tao Xin went home first.
Half an hour later, everything was cleaned up, and Tao Ye apologized to Katoriko because she forgot her birthday, but Katoriko didn't mind.
At this time, it was already nine o'clock, and it was dark, and although it was only two or three hundred meters apart, Katoriko still asked Fujitawara Takeshi to send Tao Ye home.
I'm tired today, but Katoriko can't sleep, so she pulls Fluttershy to sleep with her, and needs someone to talk to.
Su Beicheng found another pen to continue to complete the unfinished economic report in the afternoon, but he was a little absent-minded, and when he heard the door ringing and knew that Tao Ye had returned, he couldn't write it anymore.
He stopped writing, and the sound of the pen rubbing against the paper just now disappeared, and he only heard the sound of footsteps in the dark, and suddenly, even the footsteps stopped, and he could only hear his own heartbeat.
Tao Ye was hesitating, she saw the light in Su Beicheng's house and the shadow he reflected, she decided to go.
Su Beicheng heard footsteps again, and the footsteps were getting louder and louder, and his heartbeat was getting louder and louder.
"Squeak-" The door opened a crack, and the pottery leaf appeared in the crack.
Su Beicheng's hanging heart finally fell, and he asked with a smile: "Do you want to come in?" β
"Do you want me in?"
Su Beicheng got up, looked at her tenderly, and didn't speak.
Tao Ye opened the door and came in, closed the door, and pounced on him, "I miss you, I miss you so much." She said almost tremblingly.
When the dust settled, Su Beicheng hugged her without any worries: "Xiaoye~"
Tao Ye hugged him affectionately and whispered: "I should have said it earlier, and I wouldn't have suffered from lovesickness for nearly a year." β
"It's my fault, I already knew I liked you, but I didn't show it."
"Forget it, it's all over, Beicheng~" Tao Ye raised his head and held his face and shouted.
"Didn't you call me your cousin a long time ago? Call me by name so freely. β
"yes, I thought you were my man a few months ago." Tao Ye closed his eyes and whispered, "Kiss me." β
Su Beicheng looked at this delicate goose egg face, the fiery red cherry mouth, kissed it, Tao Ye reciprocated with a more passionate kiss, Su Beicheng didn't expect Tao Ye to act in a hurry, and his feelings were so warm, just like a fire. Enjoying the beauty and comfort of the spring breeze, they unconsciously moved to the side of the bed and slowly fell down, "I...... We ......" Tao Ye suddenly asked, "The two of us are relatives, this ...... Could there be anything going to be there? β
Su Beicheng was stunned and said, "Your mother is my cousin...... That is to say......"
Tao Ye stared at Su Beicheng in a trance.
"There are four generations between us in terms of blood, and there is nothing."
A big smile appeared on Tao Yehongtong's face, and he fell into Su Beicheng's arms.
"Not tonight, it's too sudden, Tao Xin is over there, it's not good to know." Su Beicheng said.
"I know, I'm only going to lie here for a while and then go back, what do you think I'm going to do?"
Su Beicheng was taken aback and asked rhetorically: "What do you think I'm talking about?" β
Tao Ye looked up and laughed coquettishly: "You are so bad~"
Su Beicheng smiled and said nothing, the two only hugged for a while, and Tao Ye went back, fortunately, this report was not in a hurry, and Su Beicheng did not write it, and he had no thoughts at all at this time.
After her birthday, Katoriko seems to have nothing to do, she is here to find Kazawa, but this is a process that requires long-term efforts, and it is not easy to get more news just with a good vision, hoping to enter the social circle to cling to the powerful, because it is also a gradual process. Katoriko and Takeshi Fujitawara are caught in a dilemma, and the short-term ineffectiveness makes them feel empty and lost.
Fluttershy already knows the problem and suggests, "You're just too bored, so may I give you some advice?" β
"Okay."
"Follow me," Fluttershy said, "We have our own car dealership, and I help Peng with a lot of work, so you can help." β
"How can I help?"
"I thought about it, now that my brother has returned to Beiping, the butterfly car dealership is taken care of by Tao Xin, he wants to buy and sell cars, rent cars, and repair cars, which is difficult for him, Fujita can help; Peng Xiaoqian is a child, and I can't do anything if she takes care of the five stores, so you can help me," Fluttershy said, "This way you won't be bored, and this work won't take up time, we can go to play at night, and we can go to Xiangze if you want, and we won't delay on either side." β
"It's good, but it's ......," Katoriko smirked, "I won't, you know who I-"
"It's very simple, I'll teach you that, and as long as you work and pay you every month, people like you don't have to rely only on Beiyan."
"I think so." Fujita said, "It's just boring. β
Fluttershy smiled and said, "It's just that you see Fujita is so big, how can he be idle." β
"Good...... All right. Katoriko had a look of attachment in her eyes and said, "You have to teach me." β
"Of course."
"Then I...... Not following you anymore? Takeshi Fujitawara asked.
"What are you doing with me all day long?" Katoriko glanced at me and said, "I have arms and legs, and I don't need you to follow me, Fluttershy will protect me." β
Fluttershy only smiles.
Takeshi Fujitawara nods, and from then on he follows Tao Xin to help deal with the sale of the butterfly car dealership, and Katoriko follows Fluttershy's students.
On this day, Fluttershy goes to the silk shop, and Peng Xiaoqian happens to be there.
"Huh-" Peng Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, and Mu Ne said, "There is another beautiful sister." β
"Little boss, don't look like you haven't seen the world so much!" Fluttershy scolds him and introduces them to each other.
Katoriko pulls Fluttershy and quips, "This is your boss?" β
"Yes, it's a little adult, he speaks openly, if he offends you, just ignore him."
Katoriko nodded as if she didn't understand, glanced at him secretly, and said, "***." β
"It's a little pervert, don't look at the fact that he's only thirteen years old, he has a wife."
"Huh?" Katoriko was amazed.
"Hey, two sisters," Peng Xiaoqian turned around and asked, "Don't speak ill of me!" I've got a tailwind, it's time to get to work. β
"Yes." Fluttershy replies, and Katoriko is amused to see him as a serious conductor.
"Xiaoqian, this is the beginning of the month, is last month's account correct?" Fluttershy asks casually.
"I don't know, you have to ask Lao Zhang."
"Aren't you a good pair yourself?"
"What do I do to it, Lao Zhang helps me manage the store, of course he does these things, I just collect money."
Lao Zhang was over fifty years old, and when he heard these words, he walked from the side and said: "Yes, I help the young master manage the store, purchase and ship, accounts, I take care of everything, and the young master only checks out the accounts every month to collect money." β
Peng Xiaoqian was complacent and quite proud.
"Show me the accounts." Fluttershy said coldly.
"This ......," Lao Zhang was embarrassed and said with a smile, "I've already done it." β
"Bring it."
"This ......" Lao Zhang looked at Peng Xiaoqian and didn't want to leave.
"Sister Fluttershy, why do you have to read the accounts?" Peng Xiaoqian asked.
"Heh, if you don't say that you are a child, you will be complacent if you give a little cheap, and the business like you will collapse early!" Fluttershy turned to Chang and ordered, "Get it." β
Peng Xiaoqian saw that Fluttershy looked serious, as if she was facing a big matter, and said, "Lao Zhang, Sister Fluttershy is the person I invited to do something, show it to her." β
Lao Zhang crooked his mouth, fine sweat broke out under his half-white hair, and his tightly knit brow made the furrows on his face look more obvious.
Lao Zhang trembled behind the counter and said to the middle-aged bookkeeper who specialized in bookkeeping: "Take ...... Take it out. β
Mr. Ledger's face turned pale, and he stared at Lao Zhang, Peng Xiaoqian and the others in a daze.
Fluttershy knows what's going on and orders, "Take it out quickly." β
Mr. Bookkeeper pulls out the top one from a nearby stack of ledgers and hands it to Fluttershy.
Fluttershy snatched it up and watched, and Katoriko and Peng Xiaoqian also came over to take a look.
Peng Xiaoqian had a headache when he looked at this dense number, and he was not in the mood to look at it at all.
"Little money, who is in charge of the general ledger?"
"There is a bookkeeper in charge of the general ledger at home, and the general ledger is kept with him."
Fluttershy takes the ledger and starts flipping through it at the beginning of last month, before she can help Peng with anything.
Her eyes swept over the line of numbers one by one, in which the amount of purchases, shipments, the number of purchases, and the number of payments were all written, but she looked at it and knew that the amount and money did not match the usual passenger flow and purchase volume, and it was a lot worse.
"Little money, call someone to bring Mr. General Ledger and bring his account book."
"Oh."
Fluttershy closes the ledger and looks at Chang and Mr. Bookkeeper, their faces green and sweat dripping down their faces.
"If you are greedy for so much money, I can put you in jail." Fluttershy says calmly.
"Don't!" The bookkeeper knelt down suddenly, "I have an old mother and a young child in my family, so I can't go to prison." β
Peng Xiaoqian didn't quite understand it, and was taken aback when he saw him kneeling.
"Lao Zhang told me to make false accounts, and if I don't do it, I'll be fired." He cried, snot and tears streaming down his face.
Lao Zhang's old face drooped, and because of his old age, he slowly knelt down, bowed his head and was silent, but sweat fell to the ground.
"Lao Zhang, you-" Peng Xiaoqian choked.
"Young master, Lao Zhang, I am old, and it doesn't take much money, and doing things here for the young master is enough to support the family, I don't want to take risks, I've been doing it for the young master's family for five years, and I don't want to lose my old face, but ......"
"Peng Yisheng told you to do it." Fluttershy speculates.
"Yes." Lao Zhang lowered his head fiercely.
"Big brother?"
"Yes."
"Who else but him can order the owner of the silk shop who has been in charge of the silk shop here for five years," Fluttershy said, "There was no division of the family, and your family property was divided by your father, but now that the family is divided, the brothers will settle the accounts and do their own work, and if you don't pay attention, he will empty all five of your shops sooner or later." β
Peng Xiaoqian's heart jumped when he heard this, he felt that he was indeed young and was tricked by his eldest brother.
"How much have you taken in the past month?" Fluttershy asks.
"Twenty or thirty oceans." Lao Zhang said.
"How much did he get, and how much did you get?"
"He's twenty, and we're a few dollars each."
Fluttershy turns to Peng and asks, "How much do you get a month here?" β
"Twenty-six."
"See for yourself, not half of it." Fluttershy says, "This is still one shop, not counting the other four, do you think it adds up to about a hundred?" β
Peng Xiaoqian was stupid, and then he realized that he had lost so much.
"Get up." Fluttershy frowned, "This is the first month since the separation of the family, you have worked for Peng Xiaoqian, and something like this has happened, what should you do?" β
The two of them couldn't afford it, and said tremblingly: "We know that we are wrong, and we are willing to take out the extra money and return it together with last month's salary as a punishment, just ...... It's just that the eldest young master took it, and we really don't dare to ask for it. β
"The world is difficult, just ask the young master and Miss Fluttershy not to drive us away, we are fifty and forty, and there is no other way to go out." The two men, who are also a hundred years old, stare pitifully at Fluttershy with trembling eyes.
Katoriko looks at Fluttershy, admiring and hating both of them.
"Xiao Qian, he is from your family, you can handle it yourself."
"I ......" Peng Xiaoqian was in a dilemma and had nothing to do.
Fluttershy knew he couldn't come up with an idea, glared at him, and said, "You're all old family, and you can't find someone to replace you after a while, so you can stay, but you can do it yourself, don't do anything that disgraces your old face, and you can't do it again." β
"Thank you, thank you..."
After a while, the person in charge of the ledger also arrives, and Fluttershy asks them to check the previous month's accounts one by one, and then takes him to the other four shops to find out the missing accounts, missing accounts, wrong accounts, and fake accounts, and finds that two of the other four shops are helping Peng Yisheng make money, and Fluttershy cleans them up and deals with them one by one. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon after the day was busy.
"Sister Fluttershy, how can I thank you for helping me get so much money back?" Peng Xiaoqian asked.
"It's not enough, your eldest brother took more, do you want to come back."
Peng Xiaoqian lowered his face, and his eyes projected helpless loneliness, "How can I fight with my eldest brother, he is better than me, older than me, he has been in business for a few years, and I have just started." He mourned.
"I'm not a vegetarian, I'll give you back if you want me." Fluttershy says lightly.
"Really?"
"You wait." Katoriko says, "Your sister Fluttershy is amazing." β
Peng Xiaoqian looked at them with a smile.
Fluttershy suddenly remembered something and reminded, "By the way, you Sister Yu will help me with you from now on, and you will have to pay her every month." β
"Of course, I'll send as much as you want." Peng Xiaoqian raised his eyebrows and said.
"Hehehe......" Katoriko giggled when she saw that he was really funny.
