This was the third time that Lin Ning had come to the old house of the Qin family. Every time she came, she felt gloomy. This time, it was even worse.
Mrs. Qin sat on the sofa, and Zhong Qing stood beside her. She slowly drank tea while casually glancing at Lin Ning from the corner of her eyes.
Every time he glanced at Lin Ning from the corner of his eyes, Lin Ning felt his hair stand on end.
"Madam, madam has been brought here." Midé broke the silence.
Zhong Qing said with a smile, "Sister Midé, long time no see. I heard from Brother Cheng Yan that you helped him go abroad to work. Sister Midé is getting more and more beautiful. I also brought a gift for Sister Midé when I returned to China. I will give it to Sister Midé later. "
"Thank you, Miss Zhong." Midé said quickly.
Mrs. Qin said, "Cheng Yan asked you to come here because he was afraid that I would bully this girl! He really worries too much. I won't deliberately bully a girl who doesn't know anything. Since you are here, look at the account book first. The things used for the party and all the expenses are on it. You can check the account to see if it is correct and if there is any discrepancy with the account book. "
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she winked at Zhong Qing and asked Zhong Qing to give the account book to Lin Ning.
Lin Ning quickly took it and thought, "Is it so simple? Just check the account?"
"Check the account here! The servant will take you to the study. Don't take this account book out, and don't take photos casually. Don't leak it. "Mrs. Qin urged again.
Lin Ning nodded and went to the room arranged by the servant with Midé.
Lin Ning thought that Mrs. Qin would arrange a shabby and old room without windows to torture her. But she didn't expect it to be a study, and it looked very good.
Midé looked around and said, "This room is not bad."
"Yeah, that's weird. Why didn't he torture me?" Lin Ning asked curiously.
This was really not Mrs. Qin's style. Could it be that she had tampered with the account book?
Lin Ning quickly opened the account book and looked at it. He did not find anything wrong with it.
"Knock knock knock, Sister Midé." Zhong Qing knocked on the door and called out sweetly.
Midé immediately smiled, "Miss Zhong."
"Sister Midé, this is the gift I brought for you. I hope you like it." The gift that Zhong Qing gave her was actually a bottle of perfume.
Midé smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Zhong. I like the taste very much."
"That's good. I won't disturb you anymore. But Sister Lin Ning, Auntie said that it's best for you to look at it yourself. She still has questions for you. But if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me or Sister Midé. Sister Midé is very kind. "Zhong Qing smiled and said to Lin Ning.
Lin Ning nodded embarrassedly.
After Zhong Qing left, she sighed. Looking at Zhong Qing's enthusiastic face, it was really hard for her to associate the person who stabbed her in the back with her.
"You have a good relationship with Zhong Qing!" Lin Ning said.
Midé said, "She is Mr. Chung Mo-chien's sister and has always admired Mr. Qin. Naturally, she is very flattering to the people around Mr. Qin. But there is one thing she does well. No matter how much she dislikes them, she can still greet them with a smile. Look, she even brought me a gift. In fact, she hates me to death. "
"Ah, she hates you? Why? "Lin Ning asked curiously.
Midé smiled and blinked. "The same reason as you, but she doesn't ask directly like you. Instead, she keeps guessing. Human nature is like this. She always likes to guess, and a lot of things are made up by guessing. "
"So, what you're saying is that she's a hypocrite?" Lin Ning asked immediately.
Midé smiled but didn't say anything. She was very careful about this and didn't easily comment on other people's rights and wrongs.
Lin Ning was speechless. She curled her lips and picked up the account book.
Midé asked again, "Do you need my help?"
Lin Ning shook her head. "I can still understand this. After all, I went to university. Even if I'm not an accounting major, I have no problem with a simple account book."
"That's good. Actually, I don't really want to help you. Since Mrs. Qin asked you to look at the account book, she will definitely ask you about the details. If I help you, it's actually not good for you. Take your time to look at it yourself. I'll go out for a cup of coffee first. "Midé said.
Lin Ning nodded and waved her hand to let her leave. Then, she flipped through the account book and looked at it carefully.
These account books didn't look complicated. There were the names of the people invited and the ingredients needed for the day. Because it was held in the old house of the Qin family, several chefs were specially invited to help. All the items were listed clearly. She didn't need to worry about them at all. She just needed to look at them one by one.
She really didn't know why Mrs. Qin asked her to look at this account book. Was it really just for her to learn?
Then the sun really rose from the west. Could it be that Mrs. Qin finally thought it through and was willing to accept her?
"Drink some water!" Someone behind her said.
Lin Ning thought it was a servant. She said without looking up, "Put it here! Thank you. "
"You don't have to be so tired. In fact, this account book is nothing to look at." The man behind her said again.
Lin Ning was surprised and turned her head to look behind her.
"How come it's you?" Lin Ning said in surprise.
She didn't expect that the person who brought her water was not a servant, but Yan Su, who she hadn't seen since last time.
Yan Su smiled and said, "Why? Are you surprised to see me?"
Lin Ning turned around and leaned on the chair, "Of course I'm surprised. Why are you here?"
Yan Su shrugged and said, "Every rich person always has one or two powerful poor relatives. It's not convenient for outsiders to do some things. Family members are always more reliable than outsiders."
"Uh, so … Mrs. Qin asked you to do this?"
Yan Su nodded, "It's going to be a family dinner soon, so there are a lot of things that need help. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I came to help. I come to help every year, so I have some experience. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. "
"I'm just looking at the account book now. There's nothing I don't understand." Lin Ning said.
Yan Su nodded and glanced at her account book. When she saw a set of data, she couldn't help but frown and asked doubtfully, "This crystal cup is gone! Why is it still written on it? "
"Ah, what crystal cup?" Lin Ning asked in surprise.
Yan Su pointed to a set of data and said, "This crystal cup was brought back from England by Mrs. Qin two years ago. She likes it very much, but a relative's child broke it last year. This is a set, and if one is broken, it will be invalid. Last year, Mrs. Qin asked me to be responsible for collecting it and put it in the warehouse. I don't know why it was written again this year. It shouldn't have been written like this. Could it be that it has been mended? I heard that this kind of cup is unique, and the price of mending it is higher. It's better to get a new set. "
"Ah, then should I tell Mrs. Qin?" Lin Ning said.
Yan Su said awkwardly, "Let's confirm it first! If it is really mended, I'm afraid Mrs. Qin won't be happy that I told you this. She won't be happy that you listened to me without knowing the situation and told her this kind of thing. "
"That's true. Do you know where the warehouse is? Let's go take a look first and then decide. "Lin Ning said.
