"That's not the point..."
Pei Xueyan sighed, and continued the topic just now: "The old man's health is deteriorating, and there is no one under his knees to inherit such a huge family business, how can the people below not be thoughtful?"
"In just the past six months, the old man has discovered that there are problems with some of the accounts of his properties!"
"Some shopkeepers are now hoping that the old man will leave as soon as possible without anyone to control him, so that they can take over the Song family's property as their own."
"The old man treats me well. He told me this in private a few days ago. He wanted me to build up my prestige while he is still here and find out those shopkeepers with evil intentions."
"This matter is related to the Song family business..."
"And I have only been in the Song family for only a year. Firstly, I have no one close to me who can be trusted. Secondly, it is difficult to convince the public. So some shopkeepers colluded to deceive me, making it difficult for me to check the accounts."
Pei Xueyan talked about her sadness, and gnashed her teeth and cursed: "Mr. Song regards me as a woman, but I am alone and it is difficult to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Song family. If there is someone around me who can help, if there is someone around me who can help me, how can I suffer from those lazy people?" Bullying?"
After saying that, her eyes were already red, and she looked like an angry little daughter-in-law who had no one to rely on, which was really endearing.
"..."
Liu Shen finally heard the plight of the young mistress of the Song family in front of him. Seeing her tearful eyes, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he felt an inexplicable urge to step forward and comfort her.
He hurriedly put aside his distracting thoughts and said thoughtfully: "Young lady, don't be anxious. This audit is a family matter of the Song family. As an outsider and a porter at the pier, it's not easy for me to interfere."
"Why do you want to be a porter if you have this ability?"
Pei Xueyan gave him an angry look and said, "You come to my Song family to be the accountant, and I will ask the old man to pay you the highest monthly salary of an accountant in Anqing Mansion."
"..."
Liu Shen was a little moved when he heard this.
He knew that given the atmosphere at this moment, as long as he said that the deed of betrayal was still with the Chishui Gang, Pei Xueyan would most likely take the initiative to help redeem the deed of betrayal.
But in that case, Pei Xueyan would be invisibly owed a favor, and it was a favor related to his own contract.
If he hadn't known about Pei Xueyan's situation and that she was a widow, Liu Shen would definitely not have cared about this favor and agreed.
After all, working as a bookkeeper in the Song family is a job you can't find even with a lantern, but it's much more comfortable than working as a porter at the dock.
As for favors, they will be paid back slowly in the future.
But it's different now!
Liu Shen knew about Pei Xueyan's situation and that she was a widow. Naturally, he no longer wanted to owe favors that would harm his style, let alone become a small accountant!
In other words, he became mad after learning that Pei Xueyan was a widow!
I’m also greedy…
After careful consideration, Liu Shen shook his head and refused and said, "I appreciate Young Madam's kindness, but I also have unavoidable difficulties. It is really difficult for me to work as an accountant in the Song family. I hope Young Madam won't be surprised."
"you……"
Pei Xueyan looked at him blankly, as if she didn't expect that he would refuse so simply and quickly.
The feeling of 'the jade is in my mouth' before was like a slap in the face at this moment, slapped hard on her face, which made her blush, dizzy, and almost cry with shame...
"Young lady, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say."
Liu Shen grinned and said meaningfully: "Although I, Liu, am just a porter at the pier, thanks to the respect of the young lady, you and I are already friends, aren't we?"
"friend……"
Pei Xueyan frowned and murmured, as if she caught something from his words, but it was vaguely unreal.
"good…"
Liu Shen nodded and said with a smile: "It is not allowed for outsiders to interfere in the Song family's family affairs, but as Liu is a friend of the young mistress, what's the harm in helping his friend check the accounts?"
"That's right, that's right!"
Pei Xueyan seemed to have reacted, and raised her eyebrows and said, "We are friends. Since we are friends, friends should support and help each other."
"Hahahaha~"
The two looked at each other and laughed out loud, saying in unison: "Friends!"
A sudden turn of events…
Pei Xueyan was in a good mood, and she felt more and more that the young man in front of her was very intelligent.
Liu Shen looked around and asked pointedly: "Young lady is checking the accounts in Tongdatang this time, but there is something wrong with the shopkeeper here?"
"I am not sure."
When Pei Xueyan saw him talking about business, she said sternly: "The old man said that the shopkeeper of Tongdatang has no independent opinions and can easily be dragged into trouble, so this time I came to check Tongdatang's accounts first, as a disguised warning to him."
Liu Shen nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper of Tongdatang, or is there no problem?"
"How would I know……"
Pei Xueyan curled her lips and muttered angrily: "I'm just checking, and not everyone is as good at arithmetic as you are."
Liu Shen felt relieved when he heard this, and he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then someone as powerful as me is not for you to use?"
What woman doesn’t like to hear nice words?
"That's~"
Pei Xueyan looked overjoyed when she heard what he said. She raised her pink neck and smiled and said, "That's my discerning eye. I just happened to see you, this hidden gem in the ocean."
"Does this count as complimenting each other?"
"Can things between friends be called flattery?"
"Hahahahaha~"
Liu Shen smiled and waved his hands, and said magnanimously: "Although I am not good at checking accounts, I am good at arithmetic. The account books that Tongdatang has not yet completed, young lady can bring them in. Liu is here today Here, there are so many accounts that he calls clean and clear for young mistress to review and calculate."
"Being a friend has aroused me."
Pei Xueyan rolled her eyes at him angrily, but followed his words and went to find the account books that Tongdatang had not yet completed, and sent them to him one by one.
And looking at that gesture, it seems like he is enjoying himself endlessly.
Liu Shen raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and said quite proudly: "Before, you were the eldest mistress of the Song family, and I was just a dock worker. My status is as bad as clouds and mud, so naturally I am difficult to handle."
"what about now?"
"Aren't we all friends now? I'm still here to help. If you still can't help me, wouldn't my friendship be in vain?"
"Really…"
Pei Xueyan frowned and thought for a while, then muttered: "It seems to make sense."
"That must make sense."
Liu Shen smiled narrowly and said, "By the way, young lady, help me get another cup of tea."
Seeing the young mistress pouring tea and water for him arrogantly, he opened the account book in front of him with satisfaction and began to calculate the accounts seriously.
Because there are many types of account books to coordinate, including entries, expenses, and store expenses, he cannot be careless, so he reads the account books with one hand and takes notes with the other to prevent mistakes.
Pei Xueyan, who was on the side, had already collected the unfinished account books. After she was free, she looked at Liu Shen, who was carefully checking the accounts, with a smile on her lips.
The contrast between Xu's identity as a strong 'pier porter' and the persona of the 'arithmetic genius' who was working hard at his desk in front of her was too great. She couldn't help but lose consciousness as she looked at it. She found this young man quite interesting for some reason...
'When you're serious, it looks pretty good...'
Pei Xueyan couldn't help but swallowed when she thought that the young man in front of him who was sitting at the desk and doing accounting still had a strong body after taking off his clothes. Even his heart beat inexplicably a little faster...
"I look like a gentleman when I put on my gown, and I look like a general when I take off my clothes. It really makes me feel better..."
As she thought about it, her thoughts drifted to nowhere, and there was a bit of intoxicating confusion in her almond-shaped eyes.
Just as her thoughts were racing, she suddenly heard a voice: "Young lady, help me grind the ink."
"..."
Pei Xueyan came to her senses with a start, and was relieved when she saw that Liu Shen lowered his head and flipped through the account books, not noticing anything strange about him.
Thinking of her uncontrollable charm just now, her toes were curled up so much that she wanted to dig the soles of her shoes, and her ears were feeling faintly hot.
He ran over in panic to study the ink...
And Liu Shen glanced at the young lady who was grinding ink for him, and felt more and more that his move was really wonderful...
Mr. Song's accountant?
Dogs are not suitable...
