A Thousand Enlightenments in One Night, Starting From Being a Menial Apprentice

Chapter 222: Brothers at Odds

In the document library, Duan Rong's speed of checking accounts has become faster and faster. He can find the items he is looking for by flipping through the account books that Xiao Yu and Huang Qing brought over a few times. Then he glanced at them, wrote down the numbers, folded the corners, closed them, and put them aside.

Because Duan Rong's speed increased, Xiao Yu and Huang Qing also found account books on the shelves faster and faster.

Especially Xiao Yu, now it takes Huang Qing to find one book in the time it takes her to find two books.

Because the account books Duan Rong wanted were on those shelves, and Xiao Yu would soon be familiar with them as long as she was careful.

Every time Duan Rong checked an account, he would stack the related account books in three piles in the order of nesting and put them on the floor by the wall.

Seeing that the piles of account books on the floor by the wall were getting more and more...

Before he knew it, dusk had already fallen.

There were chaotic footsteps in the corridor and hall outside the document library. After a day of busyness, the backyard account office had been dismissed.

Duan Rong carried a pile of account books on the table to the wall and put them away. He looked up and looked at Xiao Yu and Huang Qing standing next to the shelf. Xiao Yu was fine, after all, he was a warrior, but Huang Qing's eyes were sluggish, and a layer of sweat secreted on his forehead. Obviously, he was very tired.

Duan Rong walked to the table and glanced at the summary account book of the twelfth lunar month that was opened there. He took a look and found that the number of accounts checked in the afternoon was better than expected. Although it was a bit slow at the beginning, it became faster and faster later.

If it goes at this speed, it should not be a problem to check the accounts of the twelfth lunar month in the remaining four days.

Duan Rong looked at Xiao Yu and Huang Qing and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's stop here today. We will also leave."

Xiao Yu and Huang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

For some reason, Duan Rong has become the boss among them. If Duan Rong had said to continue working just now, the two of them would probably not have any objections.

Huang Qing was already sweating from exhaustion. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt his arms and calves aching. After all, he was an accountant and was usually lazy and had poor physical strength.

Duan Rong looked at Huang Qing and said, "Huang Qing, go back first. Go back and have a good rest."

Huang Qing gratefully agreed and walked out of the document library tiredly.

Duan Rong then closed the summary account book in his hand. When Xiao Yu saw Huang Qing leave, she looked at Duan Rong with doubts. She had been holding doubts in her heart, but Huang Qing was not in her presence.

Duan Rong looked at Xiao Yu's expression and knew that Xiao Yu would not be able to get over it if he did not explain it now, so he stopped covering it up and said directly, "There is something wrong with this account. Someone embezzled money."

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and surprise flowed in her beautiful eyes.

She was not surprised that someone embezzled money, but such shocking news. The moment Duan Rong said it, she actually believed it without a doubt.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask herself in her heart, if someone else told her about this, would she believe it so much?

Did she already believe Duan Rong so deeply?

Under the dim light, Xiao Yu's eyes also flickered with fire, and she looked at Duan Rong in a daze.

Duan Rong only said lightly. "Let's go too."

Duan Rong said, and blew out the lamp in the corner of the desk, and the document library was dark.

The two walked slowly to the door in the dark.

The document room was quiet, and they could hear each other's footsteps and breathing...

This short distance seemed to Xiao Yu as if they had walked a long way...

The two stood at the door of the document room, and Xiao Yu locked the door. There were two apprentice accountants in the hall, flipping through the account books, obviously today's task, which had not been completed yet...

The two walked out of the backyard account office and walked slowly in the twilight.

Duan Rong suddenly remembered that he had checked the more than ten accounts in the afternoon. All the accounts signed and confirmed by Xu Shouxian, Wang Dean, and Zhu Shicheng had similar floating differences.

But as long as Xu Fuxian signed the accounts, they were all clean and there was no difference in a penny.

Duan Rong was naturally confused. He remembered that Xiao Yu grew up in this escort agency and should know more about many things than him, so he asked: "Does Xu Shouxian have a brother named Xu Fuxian who is also in charge of the backyard account office?"

Xiao Yu exclaimed "Ah" when he heard it.

When she was walking in the dark with Duan Rong just now, for some reason, her mind was a little lost, and she still hadn't recovered at this moment. Duan Rong suddenly spoke to her, and she seemed to wake up suddenly.

Xiao Yu calmed down and said, "Xu Shouxian and Xu Fuxian are indeed brothers. Xu Fuxian is the elder brother and Xu Shouxian is the younger brother. But the two are not much different. Several decades ago, when the old shopkeeper was alive, the two brothers entered the escort agency together and worked as apprentices in the account office together."

"Later, they both became the head of the account office."

"After the old shopkeeper passed away, the shopkeeper took over the escort agency, dismissed the original general accountant, and promoted Xu Shouxian to be the general accountant of the escort agency."

"From that time on, the relationship between the two brothers became more and more strained."

"I heard that when Xu Fuxian's eldest son got married, he didn't invite his younger brother Xu Shouxian. You know, Xu Fuxian's son is the eldest son of the next generation of the Xu family. Everyone in the clan congratulated him, but no one sent a letter to his younger brother. Since then, the two brothers seem to have no contact."

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!

Duan Rong smiled slightly and said, "You know this old story very clearly?"

When Xiao Yu saw Duan Rong looking at him, his face slightly changed, and he said, "When I was a kid, I heard the old doorman of the escort agency say this."

As they chatted, they had already walked to the martial arts arena in the middle courtyard.

Duan Rong waved goodbye to Xiao Yu, then turned and went in the direction of Liulu.

Xiao Yu stood there, looking at Duan Rong's back for a while, and then walked towards his own courtyard.

Duan Rong was walking on the road, thinking about what Xiao Yu told him about Xu Shouxian and Xu Fuxian, the two brothers.

Xu Fuxian's eldest son got married, and he was the eldest son. For such a big event, he deliberately didn't let his younger brother come to congratulate him. This obviously shows that the conflict between the two brothers was already very deep.

Is it really because Xu Shouxian made money but didn't take his brother Xu Fuxian to play, that the two of them turned against each other?

Duan Rong didn't think so.

Xu Shouxian should be good to his brother. After all, he is the general accountant and is deeply trusted by Ruan Fengshan. He has been the general accountant for decades, but he has always tolerated his brother who has turned against him to work as the head of the accountant under him, and has handed over many accounts to him. It can be seen that from Xu Shouxian's perspective, he still has this brother in his heart.

Duan Rong checked the accounts and knew that the accounts that Xu Fuxian had handled were not small amounts. If he made a little move, at least he could make some money. But Xu Fuxian's accounts were clean and clear.

Duan Rong almost saw a person's stubbornness from the accounts. Xu Fuxian was afraid that he would not be willing to go along with his brother, so he broke off relations with him!

Duan Rong couldn't help but laugh in his heart. These two brothers, one is cunning and the other is upright, but they are brothers. It's really fate!

Duan Rong sighed and walked into Liulu.

As soon as he entered Liulu, he immediately closed the door and walked quickly into the main room. He took out a pen and paper and wrote down the various differences and related accounts that he had checked in the afternoon on paper.

Duan Rong memorized all these numbers. This was the result of obtaining the mastery level of virtual abacus mental arithmetic after swallowing Li Jun's copper abacus spirit.

In fact, the so-called mental arithmetic has a lot to do with memory, especially the massive mental arithmetic of so much data. Without super memory, it is impossible to complete it.

After Duan Rong finished writing, he read it under the light, nodded with satisfaction, and went to the street to eat.
