The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 183 Wang Gui cannot refute

Wang Gui was stunned. Check the account book?

"Boss, the account book is gone. What can we use to check it?"

"Although one copy of this account book is missing, there is naturally a second copy."

Wang Gui’s face froze. The second copy? There was actually a second copy of the account book?

He panicked for a moment, but then suddenly reacted.

No, there can't be a second copy.

He had been on guard against Xier copying another copy, so he had someone watching it secretly. If there was a second copy, he would not be unaware of it.

What's more, the room is only so big, and he had specifically instructed that other places should be searched carefully to prevent any omissions. If there is a second copy hidden, it will be found.

That’s right, he must be tricked!

Thinking of this, Wang Gui immediately said, "Miss, it would be great if you have a second copy. Take it out quickly."

Jiang Suining looked at Xier, "Xier, the second account book."

Xier stared at her mistress blankly, "Miss, but, but I only wrote one copy, there is no second copy at all."

Hearing this, Wang Gui almost laughed out loud.

It turned out that he was being tricked!

Being young means nothing. He can't even lie properly. It's really hilarious.

"Xier, think about it again, is it really not true?" Jiang Suining looked at Xier seriously.

The latter frowned, then suddenly came to his senses and said, "Yes, there is a second account book!"

This second account book is in her mind.

Xier walked to the low table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "Miss, I can write down each item from memory."

Wang Gui's smile froze, and he subconsciously said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

How is it possible to remember so many miscellaneous expenses?

Xier ignored Wang Gui, picked up the pen and began to recall.

"On the first day, there were nine expenses, big and small. First, we found someone to measure the appropriate location for digging the well, which cost fifty taels of silver. Then, there were eight workers digging the well. Each of them only worked half a day on the first day. Manager Wang reported a daily wage of one hundred coins per person..."

Wang Gui originally thought that Xier was just bragging, but as he listened to her reports one by one, his expression became increasingly ugly.

The tenants on the farm also gathered around and looked at Xier in surprise.

Even Jiang Cheng was surprised at Xier's memory. Although he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, looking at Xier's confident look, he couldn't help but believe in his heart that Xier really remembered every account.

Turning his gaze to Jiang Suining, Jiang Cheng suddenly understood that perhaps this was the reason why the young lady had kept Xier as a supervisor in the first place.

Wang Gui originally didn't believe that Xier could really remember all the accounts, but when he saw that she had memorized every single one of them, even the two turtles that Xier had thrown into the two wells after the wells were dug yesterday, he did not miss any of them. Wang Gui's heart became completely uneasy.

"Miss, it's finished."

Xier blew dry the ink on the last piece of paper, handed a stack of papers to Jiang Suining, and when she looked at Wang Gui again, she felt more courageous than before.

"Miss, although I don't know exactly how much it costs to dig a well, labor, and materials, I think there is something wrong with the bill that Manager Wang reported. In fact, it definitely didn't cost that much."

"You are slandering me. Since you don't know how much money it should be, how can you say that I embezzled it?" Wang Gui stared at the paper in Jiang Suining's hand, wishing he could pounce on it and tear it into pieces immediately.

He really didn't expect that a little girl like Xier actually had this ability. Although he couldn't remember them all clearly, the few things he remembered were exactly the same number as Xier reported.

Maybe the account book really made her silent.

"Manager Wang, don't worry. I think there are some problems with this account book." Jiang Suining flipped through the account book in his hand slowly. "For the first day, let's not talk about the fifty taels of silver for hiring someone to survey. The wages alone don't seem to match. A hundred coins for half a day. As far as I know, a worker would only make a hundred coins at most for a whole day. How come you doubled it?"

Wang Gui didn't expect Jiang Suining to understand the market. He thought quickly and said, "Boss, the price quoted by those people I found is 200 Wen a day. They work fast, so it's reasonable for them to pay a higher price. Otherwise, how could they have dug two wells in such a short time?"

"Two wells, eight people, plus there are people helping on the farm, this speed doesn't seem very fast."

Jiang Suining looked at Wang Gui, who had a nervous expression on his face. When he was about to continue to find reasons to explain, Jiang Suining did not give him a chance to speak and continued.

"Also, the amount of bricks and stones purchased seems to be too much. It's just two wells. Can they really use so much?"

"This... the loss is slightly greater."

"So, in other words, there is no problem with the amount purchased on this account book, but the loss is excessive?"

"Yes." Wang Gui nodded.

"What about the others?" Jiang Suining picked out a few pages and handed them to Wang Gui, "Do the numbers here match?"

Wang Gui took it and held it in his hand with some hesitation.

"Manager Wang, you have to think it over carefully. If the quantity is wrong, then the total amount will not be correct either."

Jiang Suining's words gave Wang Gui a shock. "That's right, that's right. But I don't know what happened this time. The loss was really big. It was probably because I was thinking about your words and was only concerned about making good use of the time. So when they were working, you urged them too hard, and they were easily prone to mistakes when they were in a panic."

"It sounds like I'm the one at fault." Jiang Suining chuckled.

"Boss, I definitely didn't mean that. What I meant was..."

"It's okay, as long as you recognize the quantity." Jiang Suining took the paper from Wang Gui and handed it to the servant behind him, "Take it, check it one by one, and ask the merchants who sold the goods how much Wang Guan bought from them."

Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on Wang Gui's back.

He falsely reported the quantity of goods just to make money from it. It was impossible for him to buy so much when he actually bought the goods. If he checked, wouldn't he be completely exposed!

Seeing the servant about to leave, Wang Gui quickly said, "Wait!"

With some difficulty, Wang Gui smiled and said to Jiang Suining, "Boss, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Don't you still believe me?"

Jiang Suining didn't smile, but looked at Wang Gui seriously, "So, Manager Wang, do you think I should trust you?"

After he said this, Wang Gui broke out in cold sweat on his back.

Under the current circumstances, he naturally reacted and realized that Jiang Suining might have guessed from the beginning that he would play tricks and was waiting for him here.

Damn!

Wang Gui couldn't help cursing in his heart, and tried to suppress his panic and said, "I have a clear conscience. If the boss doesn't trust me, then I can't stay in this farm any longer. The boss should find someone else to take care of it."

Jiang Suining smiled playfully, "Okay, that's exactly what I meant."
