Chapter 96: Settle accounts one by one
"I've been particularly interested in rouge gouache lately, so let's take a look at this today. β
Qin Huaiyu said as he picked up the account book, while the shopkeeper lowered his head to hide his disdainful smile.
This eldest lady who doesn't understand anything, is it really a rouge gouache that can be confused with a book?
It's just that she won't say this, and it's better to let this straw bale lady lose people, and then she can use this false alarm to ask for a reward like that.
She was thinking so in her heart, but she suddenly heard Qin Huaiyu ask with a smile on her face: "Steward Liu, this Yaotai Pavilion is under your jurisdiction, right?"
Hearing this, the steward who was slandering instantly raised his head, concealed his true emotions, and said with a somewhat superficial smile: "Miss Hui, exactly." β
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu nodded, his fingers swept over the bills one by one, and there was still a smile on his face, but there was a little coldness in his voice: "Steward Liu, you have to be more attentive when you make fake accounts." Isn't it too disrespectful to fool people with fake accounts that anyone with a discerning eye can see?"
Steward Liu was originally thinking about her Xiao Jiujiu, and it was already a little surprising to be named by her, but when she heard this, her first reaction was that Qin Huaiyu was cheating herself, so she didn't answer immediately, just groaned, and said with an unaware gaze: "Miss, I don't know what you're talking about, these accounts are all true, and there is no fraud." If you don't believe me, let someone else verify it. β
She thinks that this account is still very flat, just with Qin Huaiyu, a little girl, how can she see the flaws, I'm afraid that she deliberately wants to let herself be timid first, right?
After hearing what he said, Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything more, but just said meaningfully: "Really?"
When she said this, she suddenly became embarrassed, and directly smashed the ledger in her hand towards her, which happened to hit Steward Liu's face.
That Steward Liu was suddenly smashed like this, and immediately covered her face and screamed, and a place on her face was smashed red, and she asked with grievances: "What do you mean by this, Miss? Madam, although I am the steward of your shop, I am not a subordinate who is beaten and scolded at will, and it is unfair for you to do things like this!"
Zhuang Yuelan frowned slightly, but she was not angry with Qin Huaiyu, she knew that her daughter would not do it for no reason, unless the bottom line was touched.
And this Steward Liu, if she remembers correctly, since she handed over the shop to her mother-in-law two years ago, this Steward Liu has never come to her again.
Thinking of this, she asked softly, "Huaiyu, if you have something to say." β
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu responded, and still had a smile when he looked at Manager Liu, but unfortunately the words he said were not so polite: "I have always been very talkative, and I never beat around the bush." Steward Liu, I don't care who you followed before and who you gave the money to. Today, I will say only one thing: Since the silver was drained from you, let it be spit out of you. β
When she said this, she continued with a smile: "Otherwise, I have a way to make you unable to eat and walk around!"
When she said this, she clearly had a smile on her face, but Steward Liu suddenly shuddered for some reason.
This eldest lady was obviously only a fifteen-year-old girl, but from her demeanor, she actually saw a bit of killing, which made her can't help but be timid.
Steward Liu desperately suppressed the timidity in his heart, tried hard to strengthen himself, and then raised his head, his face full of grievances and anger: "Miss, you can be dissatisfied with me, but you can't slander me, I am an upright person, I will never admit these things that I have not done! The accounts are true, and I have never been greedy for money in the shop, let alone eaten inside and out." You are an insult to me by holding these charges against me! If you don't want me to do it, just say it, what do you mean by humiliating me in such a roundabout way!"
That steward Liu was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to meet Qin Huaiyu's eyes, he just looked at the stewards around him, looking for his accomplices.
Sure enough, after she said this, she saw that one of them couldn't help but stand up and said: "Yes, eldest lady, we are all old men who follow Madame, and we are the most loyal. As for this ledger, you are still young, so it is better to leave it to someone with experience. β
Seeing that these people said a word to me, without taking Qin Huaiyu in their eyes at all, Zhuang Yuelan on the main seat changed her face first.
She always thought that these old people who followed her were trustworthy, but she didn't expect that there would always be some people who couldn't see the situation clearly. It's just that he temporarily let the old lady take care of the shop because of his lack of energy, and these people began to see the wind and rudder, and they didn't even pay attention to Qin Huaiyu!
Originally, she thought that these were old people, thinking about the old in her heart, and preparing to save some face for them today.
But now, it seems that it is not necessary.
Zhuang Yuelan put the tea cup in her hand on the table and made a crisp sound, although she didn't speak, but this movement was enough to quiet these people.
Qin Huaiyu looked back at Zhuang Yuelan, and when she saw her mother silently giving herself strength, she couldn't help but smile.
Then, she stood in the center and said with a faint smile: "What are you so anxious to doβit's not your turn yet, let's come one by one, we should have a share, and none of them can escape!"
She said this clearly in a loud voice, but several of them were silent, and instantly felt a chill creeping up in their hearts.
This eldest lady seems to have been prepared for a long time, and I'm afraid she won't be good today!
Seeing the flickering eyes of these people, Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything else, just looked at the account books one by one, and his eyebrows and eyes unconsciously became cold.
Among these people, there are those who are weak-hearted, those who are at ease, and those who are lively.
Everyone had different thoughts, but no one dared to make a sound, and at this moment, only the sound of the pages being turned was heard in the room.
Qin Huaiyu looked at the account book very seriously, and her expression did not change until she took a cursory look at the account book, and then she looked at a few of them lightly.
She may not be able to understand the problems in the account books, but Qin Huaiyu is clear about who among those people has problems.
With aggressiveness in her eyes, she locked on a few of them, and said in a deep voice: "Do you say the problem in this account book, or do you let me say it for you?"
