Yuan Shuzhi was watching the ants move in the courtyard of the accounting room, and it seemed that things were about to change.
The number of ledgers delivered these days has decreased significantly. Judging from the date of the journal, it seems that the accumulated account books are about to be completed.
Although he couldn't keep track of the account books he had done these days, the total amount was still clear. It amounted to about 200,000 yuan, and the span of the account books was only two years.
This is really a staggering big deal. Yuan Shuzhi has never heard of any business that can make 100,000 yuan a year with such a small shop.
This "magic medicine" from the Senate is really powerful! Yuan Shu knew his thoughts.
But as the account books sent became more and more new, he knew that the situation ahead was becoming more and more dangerous.
Killing people to silence them, killing people to kill them... Even though they knew that the political security guards were watching the store outside, they couldn't guarantee that the food would be poisoned and sent him away directly. The political security guards would definitely not be able to rush in in time to save themselves.
The more Yuan Shuzhi thought about it, the more he felt that his life was in danger, but even so, he did not dare to show it, and could only go around in circles every day to figure out how to escape.
I couldn't think of a solution, but I lost a lot of hair on my head. On this day, while he was watching the ants, the servant came to invite him, saying that he was invited by a senior executive.
Yuan Shu didn't know it, so he had to bite the bullet and go.
At first, the executive only asked about his daily life and praised him for his good accounting. The shopkeeper was very happy, so he gave him a special reward of twelve yuan.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for the generous gift!" Yuan Shuzhi made a look of tears of gratitude.
"Mr. Shu's account book has been well done. You deserve this money." The senior executive waved his hand and said, "It's just that the account book here is about to be cleared. My shopkeeper still has the accounts of several industries to be cleared, so these days So I have to ask you, sir, to move somewhere."
When Yuan Shuzhi heard this, he felt five thunders hitting his head. He is now working as an accountant at Jubao Hall. Lu Cheng and the others all know that if he really moves himself, his whereabouts will be completely unknown.
Even so, he could only force himself to remain calm and said: "I don't know where to send the students..."
"You will know when the time comes. There is no need to ask any more questions now." The senior manager's words were as cold as ice, "Mr. Shu, as long as you keep good accounts, you will earn the money, but you don't need to ask more questions about things you shouldn't ask about." , save yourself the trouble.”
"Yes, yes, the student understands!" Yuan Shuzhi broke into a cold sweat and thought: My life is at stake!
When he returned to the small courtyard where he lived, he wondered if he could escape by climbing over the wall. However, the wall was as high as a well, and there was nothing to climb around. With his helpless body, he tried to climb over the wall. But walking away is nothing more than a fool's dream.
If he rushes out of the door, the two strong men at the door are enough to stop him from going back.
He secretly regretted why he had come up with the bad idea of "infiltrating the enemy's interior". So far, he hadn't sent out any information, and he was about to risk his life!
Now that people are under the knife, Yuan Shuzhi is unable to resist, so he can only pretend to be submissive and wait and see one step at a time.
Yuan Shuzhi remembered Lu Cheng's original agreement with him that if there was an emergency and he couldn't escape and needed help, he would send a distress signal by buying something. Specifically, he would ask a servant to buy cigarettes for him.
Yuan Shuzhi had a habit of smoking, so he would send his servant to buy cigarettes every three or four days after arriving at Jubaohao. According to the agreement, he did not stick to one brand of cigarettes, but smoked in turns. In case of emergency, he would send his servants to buy a "holy ship". The golden holy ship means "there is a crisis". If it is a red holy ship, it is an emergency signal for help.
However, the signal sent by Yuan Shuzhi was completely blocked. No matter what kind of cigarettes he asked to buy, the servant always brought him Bai Shengchuan.
After waiting anxiously for a few more days, on this day, he was put on a two-person sedan and carried out. It was dark and dark, and he didn't know how far he had walked. When he got out of the sedan, the sky was dark. Already blackened. The sedan stopped in a small courtyard, and as the night fell, all we could see were mountains surrounding it. It was obvious that we were deep in the mountains.
Yuan Shuzhi got off the sedan and was taken to the main room in the courtyard.
There were lights on in the main room, and three men were sitting and waiting.
Although the lamps were lit, the three men had their backs to the lights, and their faces could not be seen clearly. Judging from their stature, one of them was probably a senior executive.
Sure enough, the senior executive spoke: "This is our master."
This was the first time Yuan Shuzhi met the owner of Jubaotang. He learned from Lu Cheng that the owner of this store was named Quan Youde.
He immediately bowed to the end and said, "I have met the master."
"Sit down, drink tea." Mr. Quan waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down. Yuan Shuzhi quickly took his seat. Looking at the appearance in front of him, it didn't seem like he was about to be silenced, which made him feel at ease.
"How have you been living here these days?"
"Reply to the master, everything is fine!"
"I have read your account books, and you did a good job." Mr. Quan nodded, "I am lacking someone like you who understands Australian accounts. May I ask, sir, where did you learn this account?"
Yuan Shuzhi said hurriedly: "I am in the 9th session of the fiscal and taxation accounting training course organized by the Guangzhou Finance and Taxation Bureau."
"Oh? So you are saying that sir is a naturalized citizen?"
"Where, where," Yuan Shuzhi waved his hand and said, "I want to do it, but people look down on me! They say I'm too old!" He sighed, "You are old and you are worthless!"
"How did you get into an Australian school if you're not a naturalized citizen?"
"Well, as long as you pay for the training class yourself, you can learn it..." Yuan Shuzhi explained, "Many of the people in it are sent by the owners of various brands in Guangzhou, and so are the students."
Quan Youde asked some more questions about his past employers, and Yuan Shuzhi answered fluently. When asked about his early career, Yuan Shuzhi also spoke vaguely.
This cross-examination made Yuan Shuzhi interested. Because when he went to Jubao Hall, the senior management didn't ask such detailed questions. If he really wanted to silence him, it seemed unnecessary.
Quan Youde made some cross-examinations, and probably felt that there was no problem, so he glanced at the man sitting at the back. The other party nodded slightly, but said nothing.
Quan Youde said: "I am very satisfied with the accounting you have done here. Originally, these account books were almost completed. Originally, I planned to send you away after the account books were completed..."
Yuan Shuzhi couldn't help but get excited when he heard this.
"...However, since you are familiar with Australian accounts and I am employing people here, I plan to keep you here and continue to do the accounting. Are you willing?"
Yuan Shu knew how to say he was unwilling, and said: "Students are lonely and helpless, how can they be unwilling if they have a place to eat!"
"Haha, that's not what you said." Quan Youde pretended to be generous, "You can make a decision after reading it."
After that, he gave the order. After a while, the senior management brought a tray to him and uncovered the silk handkerchief on it. The shiny silver coins inside almost blinded Yuan Shuzhi. .
"This..." He looked at Quan Youde in surprise.
"If you make up your mind to follow me, this plate of two hundred silver dollars will be all yours. From now on, you will still have thirty dollars a month. In the future, you may have endless glory and wealth." Quan Youde He said, "But I have to make it clear to you. If you follow me, you will lose your head in business, which is very dangerous."
"This, this, the students don't understand..." Yuan Shuzhi's face was full of horror and surprise - but he wasn't pretending. He originally thought he was investigating a counterfeit drug case, but he didn't expect that there was such a big case behind the counterfeit drug case!
"Don't be afraid, we are working for the imperial court. We are not bandits." Quan Youde said slowly, "If you are not willing to take this risk, a small sedan has been prepared outside to take you back to the medicine market. There is fifty yuan in the sedan chair, which is a token of my gratitude to you and me as our guests. But you must not mention this past event again in the future."
As long as you are not a fool, after listening to Quan Youde's words, you will know that there is no second way in front of you. Yuan Shuzhi immediately said: "Student is willing to follow the master!"
"You are not afraid?"
"So what if you're afraid?" Yuan Shu knew, "Now that things have happened, I'm not afraid for anything else, not just the money."
Quan Youde laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "Okay! I never thought Mr. Shu was such a happy person!" After saying this, he clapped his hands and a servant brought the wine.
"My husband and I drank this wine together, and from now on we are good brothers who live and die together."
Yuan Shuzhi had no choice but to drink the wine with a smile on his face.
"Since we are brothers, there is no need to hide some things from you." Quan Youde said, "My surname is Quan, my first name is Youde, and I am the shopkeeper of Jubao Hall. This is Taoist Master Mu Shi. From now on, you will work with him. .”
At this moment, the person called "Taoist Master Mu Shi" came under the lamp. Yuan Shuzhi took a closer look and saw that the person in front of him was wearing a purple sun scarf and a green Gebu robe, with three strands of airy long beard hanging down on his chest, a picture of Immortal spirit. Yuan Shuzhi hurriedly greeted him.
"No need to be polite." Taoist Mu Shi said in an amiable manner, "From now on we are all one family and we will all serve the imperial court."
"Yes, yes, we still have to rely on the guidance of the Taoist Priest!" Yuan Shu knew, "As long as the student is needed, he will just follow the Taoist Priest's orders, and the young one will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Haha, sir, you are joking!" Taoist Mu Shi said, "At your age, how can you ask me to go through fire and water! But as soon as you join the gang, you have to abide by the rules here. It's not that I am strict, but in fact this is a fallacy. It’s a trade in brains, so if you break the rules under me, regardless of intention or not, it’s only once. Do you understand?”
"Yes, the student understands!" Yuan Shuzhi said hurriedly, "The student has been in trouble all his life. Now that he has the opportunity to serve the imperial court and make a comeback, he is determined not to break the Taoist priest's rules!"
"In that case, you will stay with Pindao from now on and manage Kun's accounts specifically for Pindao." Taoist Mu Shi said and nodded, "The senior executive, please take him downstairs to rest."
