A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 224 Something unexpected happened
Ye Chen is also a new apprentice in the accounting office this year.

The person in charge this month gave him the job of opening the door every day, so he had to get up an hour earlier this month.

At daybreak, he struggled to get up and staggered sleepily to the door of the accounting office in the backyard.

Ye Chen half-closed his eyes and took out the key from his pocket. Just as he was about to open the door, he found that the door of the accounting hall was already open.

Ye Chen's sleepiness was immediately gone. He stepped into the hall and saw the big copper lock for the door placed on the table behind the door. The hall was dark, but a dim and mottled light shone from the corridor on the west.

Ye Chen walked a few steps sideways and stood on the west side of the hall. Looking into the corridor, he saw a figure sitting on a chair at the door of the document library with his legs crossed. The lamp beside him emitted a bright yellow light, shining on his face.

Ye Chen recognized him immediately. That person was Duan Rong who had been checking the accounts in the accounting office these days.

Ye Chen said: "Master Duan Rong, it's so early today!"

Duan Rong crossed his legs and smiled as he replied, "It won't be any earlier."

Ye Chen had no idea what Duan Rong meant, so he smiled and walked away. However, as soon as he sat down at his seat in the hall, he suddenly thought of Duan Rong and the others checking the accounts. It seemed like yesterday was the last day, so why did he come to the document library so early today?
Ye Chen was confused, but he had a lot of other things to do and soon forgot about it.

The sky gradually brightened, and many people yawned and walked into the hall of the accounting office in the backyard.

These apprentice accountants have to deal with complicated accounts every day and are stuffed with a bunch of miscellaneous chores by some cunning old accountants. They are tortured with lifeless eyes, especially when they just enter the accounting hall in the backyard in the morning, they all have an expression of despair.

Wang De'an was considered to have arrived relatively late.

He hasn't slept well these past few days, his eye bags are swollen, and he looks not in good spirits.

Four or five days passed, and Li Jun was still in a coma.

After class yesterday, he went to Li Jun's house to check on him. The symptoms were still the same as on the first day, except that he was still unconscious.

Li Jun's father was completely panicked. He invited all the famous doctors in Xian Ancient City to see him, but none of them could diagnose his symptoms.

Yesterday evening, his old father actually invited a few witches to set up an altar and perform a ritual at home, saying that Li Jun had been possessed by evil spirits and that there was something unclean on his body, so he asked the gods to exorcise it...

When Wang De'an went over after class, he saw several witches dressed in strange clothes, with paint on their faces, holding bells and burning incense, surrounding Li Jun, chanting spells and dancing a weird dance...

Wang De'an shook his head and hurriedly retreated.

When Wang De'an stepped into the hall, he suddenly lost his consciousness for some unknown reason. He remembered that yesterday was the last day of the audit, and today Duan Rong, Xiao Yu and others should report the audit results to the shopkeeper.

Mr. Xu, the accountant, had already assigned him the task of cooperating with the audit, so logically he should go and take a look and give his greetings.

"I don't know if Duan Rong and the others have arrived?" Wang De'an turned and prepared to walk towards the document library in the west.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the corridor, he saw Duan Rong sitting at the door of the document library. Wang Dean was slightly startled, walked over and said, "Master Duan Rong, how are the accounts these days going?"

Wang De'an asked, glancing at Duan Rong's face and the door behind him. The door was still locked, and Duan Rong was sitting on a large armchair, as if blocking the door.

Wang Dean's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Master Duan Rong, did you forget to bring your keys? It's already this late, Miss Xiao should be here by now?"

Wang De'an still remembers that when he handed them the key, it was Xiao Yu who took it.

Duan Rong said: "Xiao Yu will not come for the time being."

"Not coming for the time being?" Wang Dean obviously didn't understand what Duan Rong meant. Duan Rong said, "She will come with the shopkeeper later."

"Come with the shopkeeper?" Wang De'an's eyes moved slightly.

Duan Rong instructed Xiao Yu last night to go and invite Ruan Fengshan over early in the morning.

Wang Dean thought about what Duan Rong meant and said with a smile, "There is a key to the document library in General Xu's account office. I will go get it and open the door. Then, Master Duan can go in and he won't have to sit here guarding the door."

Duan Rong glanced at Wang Dean and said decisively, "No need! No one can enter the document library today before the shopkeeper comes!"

Wang De'an's face suddenly changed. No matter how slow he was, he could still hear some dangerous signal from Duan Rong's words.

Wang De'an did not continue to entangle with Duan Rong, but turned around and left.

After all, none of their accountants practiced martial arts. As long as Duan Rong sat there, who could enter their entire backyard account office?
Wang De'an immediately rushed to the Dongjia room, in front of Xu Shouxian's room door, but he found that the door was still locked. Obviously Xu Shouxian had not come yet. Wang De'an suddenly felt anxious. He rushed out of the east corridor in a hurry, but just saw Xu Shouxian walking in from the hall door.

Xu Shouxian was walking slowly, fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan, looking very leisurely. Xu Shouxian had been taking a tonic medicine since the beginning of winter this year, which was very effective. The only side effect was that he often felt a little hot. Therefore, he never put down his cattail leaf fan.

As soon as Wang De'an saw Xu Shouxian, he ran over immediately, stood directly at the door of the hall, and whispered to him about Duan Rong blocking the door of the document library.

Xu Shouxian was furious when he heard this. He hurried into the west corridor and looked at Duan Rong who was sitting there leisurely. He said, "Master Duan Rong, this document library is an important place in my account office. What happened in there? You are blocking us here and not letting anyone in!"

Duan Rong said: "The document library is safe and sound!"

"Why don't you let me in if there's nothing wrong? You come here to check the accounts, and we treat you with courtesy, but we don't allow you to act wildly here!" Xu Shouxian was obviously furious.

Duan Rong said, "General Manager Xu, you said that the shopkeeper asked you to fully cooperate with me. What I ask you to do now is that before the shopkeeper comes today, no one can enter the document library!"

"You..." Xu Shouxian was choked with anger. He didn't expect Duan Rong to bring up what he had said about Ruan Fengshan. Whatever else he wanted to say would immediately put him in a contradictory situation.

Xu Shouxian originally thought that Duan Rong was just a poor boy who had never seen the world and had some talent in martial arts. With his position as the chief accountant, he would be able to intimidate Duan Rong by getting angry, but Duan Rong was obviously unmoved.

Xu Shouxian stood there and stared at Duan Rong for a long time, but Duan Rong obviously had no intention of giving in.

Xu Shouxian then left with Wang Dean. At this time, all the apprentice accountants in the hall knew about Duan Rong blocking the door and were whispering to each other, but Xu Shouxian was in no mood to pay attention to them.

Xu Shouxian stood in the hall, glanced over, turned his head to look at Wang Dean, and asked, "Where is Huang Qing?"

Wang De'an glanced around and found that Huang Qing was not in the hall, so he said, "Maybe he hasn't come yet."

"Go find him." Xu Shouxian said coldly.

Wang De'anwu immediately turned around and ran out of the hall.

Xu Shouxian looked at Wang De'an's back with anger in his eyes. He had handed the task of checking the accounts of Duan Rong and others to Wang De'an. Suddenly something unexpected happened and Wang De'an only realized it at this time. It was obvious that he had failed to supervise the matter.

Xu Shouxian turned his gaze and looked towards the west corridor.

The key now is to find out what exactly happened in the document library. In addition to Duan Rong and Xiao Yu, Huang Qing was also present.
