Chapter 222 Brothers are fighting against each other
In the document library, Duan Rong's speed of reading the accounts has been getting faster and faster. He only needs to flip through the account books that Xiao Yu and Huang Qing brought to him a few times to find the items they are looking for. Then he glanced at them, wrote down the numbers, folded the corners, closed them, and put them aside.

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

Especially Xiao Yu, it took her the time to find two books while Huang Qing could barely find one.

Because the account books that Duan Rong wanted were on those shelves. As long as Xiao Yu paid attention, he would soon become familiar with them.

Every time Duan Rong checked an account, he would stack the related account books into three piles in nested order and place them on the floor next to the wall.

Seeing that the piles of account books on the floor next to the wall were getting bigger and bigger...

Before I knew it, dusk had fallen.

There were chaotic footsteps in the corridor and hall outside the document library. After a busy day, the backyard account office had already finished its shift.

Duan Rong carried a pile of account books on the table to the wall and put them away. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu and Huang Qing who were standing next to the shelf. Xiao Yu was fine, after all, he was a warrior, but Huang Qing had a listless look and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he was obviously very tired.

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

If we continue at this pace, it shouldn't be a problem to check the accounts for the twelfth 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 for today. We will also be dismissed."

Xiao Yu and Huang Qing 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, the two would probably have no objection.

Huang Qing was already sweating from exhaustion. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and felt aching in his arms and calves. After all, he was an accountant and usually didn't work hard, so his physical strength was very poor.

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

Huang Qing gratefully agreed and walked out of the document library with tired steps.

Duan Rong then closed the summary account book in his hand. When Xiao Yu saw Huang Qing leaving, she looked at Duan Rong with doubt in her eyes. She had questions in her mind, but she didn't dare to ask because Huang Qing was around.

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

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

What surprised her was not the fact that someone had embezzled money, but the fact that she believed such shocking news the moment Duan Rong said it.

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

Does she trust Duan Rong so deeply?
Under the dim light, there was a flickering of fire in Xiao Yu's eyes, and she looked at Duan Rong in a daze.

Duan Rong just said calmly, "Let's go too."

As Duan Rong spoke, he blew out the lamp in the corner of the desk, and the document library was immediately plunged into darkness.

The two walked slowly towards the door in the dark.

In the office, there was silence. They could hear each other's footsteps and breathing...

This short distance seemed like a long journey in Xiao Yu's heart...

The two stood at the door of the secretarial office. Xiao Yu locked the door. There were two apprentice accountants in the hall, flipping through the account books. It was obvious that they had not yet completed today's task...

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 proportions of floating differences.

But as long as the accounts were signed by Xu Fuxian, they were all clean and not a penny was missing.

Duan Rong was naturally puzzled. He remembered that Xiao Yu grew up in this escort agency and should know more about many things than he did, 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 this.

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

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 still alive, the two brothers entered the escort agency together and worked as apprentices in the accounting office together."

"Later, they all became the head of the accounting office."

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

"From that time on, the relationship between the two brothers became increasingly 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 an invitation to his younger brother. Since then, the two brothers seem to have no contact."

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

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

The two chatted as they reached the martial arts arena in the middle courtyard.

Duan Rong waved goodbye to Xiao Yu, then turned and headed towards Liu Lu.

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

As Duan Rong walked on the road, he kept thinking about what Xiao Yu had told him about the two brothers, Xu Shouxian and Xu Fuxian.

Xu Fuxian's eldest son got married, and he was the eldest son. For such a big event, he deliberately did not let his younger brother come to congratulate him. This clearly 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 out 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 chief accountant and is deeply trusted by Ruan Fengshan. He has been the chief accountant for decades, but he has always tolerated his brother who has become his enemy and let him work as the accountant under him. He also gave him many accounts. This shows that from Xu Shouxian's perspective, he still has this brother in his heart.

Duan Rong checked the accounts and found that the accounts that Xu Fuxian had handled were not small amounts, and it would be no problem to make a little money by tampering with them. However, Xu Fuxian's accounts were clean and accurate.

Duan Rong could almost see a stubborn person from the account. Xu Fuxian cut off his relationship with him because he was afraid that he would be unwilling to go along with his brother!

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 clearly on the paper all the differences and related accounts that he had checked in the afternoon.

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

In fact, mental arithmetic has a lot to do with memory. Especially the massive mental arithmetic of so much data is impossible to complete without a strong memory.

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