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

Chapter 233: New Official's Fire
There was still a hint of tiredness on Ruan Fengshan's face.

He held a thick stack of things in his hand, his burly body stood straight, his eyes were like lightning, and the pressure of a superior swept across the entire place.

"I think everyone has heard about the recent events in the accounting office."

Ruan Fengshan said, raising the two thick envelopes in his hands. "This is a letter of accusation written by the accountant."

When Ruan Fengshan mentioned the three words "letter of accusation", the shoulders of several people in the audience trembled unnoticeably.

"This is what Luan Bao gave me last night. However, I haven't read any of them." Ruan Fengshan glanced at the two thick and bulging envelopes in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Wei, bring the brazier!"

Zheng Wei immediately appeared from behind the screen and brought the charcoal basin used to ward off the cold in the back hall to Ruan Fengshan.

The best hollow animal charcoal, burning bright red...

Ruan Fengshan held an envelope and put one corner into the center of the charcoal basin. Surrounded by high temperature, the corner of the envelope quickly curled into ash and flames jumped up. Ruan Fengshan waited for the flames to spread upwards before he hung the edge of the envelope. When the fire was raging, he threw it into the charcoal basin and used the rising flames to burn the other bulging thick envelope.

Looking at the papers in the charcoal basin, curled up and burnt into ashes, the heavy stone weighing on many people's hearts relaxed.

Many people also showed puzzled expressions.

But among all the people present, the calmest person seemed to be Xu Fuxian, who was sitting next to Luan Jingfu.

He sat there with an expressionless face, as if he had not noticed that Ruan Fengshan had burned those letters of accusation.

In fact, he had already expected Ruan Fengshan to do this.

Just an hour before the meeting this morning, Ruan Fengshan suddenly ordered the guards surrounding the backyard accounting office to withdraw.

All people were allowed to enter normally. However, the two leaders, Wang De'an and Zhu Shicheng, and their assistants were detained alone in the woodshed.

Even Li Jun's body, which was parked in the accounting hall in the backyard, was just taken away by Li Jun's family.

All in all, the time Li Jun kept the body in the accounting office was less than a day.

These actions all reveal some secret intentions of Ruan Fengshan in handling this matter.

It is obvious that Ruan Fengshan does not want to be petty and punish everyone who makes a mistake, but wants to let go of the big picture and stabilize people's hearts.

Xu Fuxian was very impressed by Ruan Fengshan's thinking and courage. In just one day, he was able to cut through the Gordian knot and understand the situation.

Duan Rong sat in the corner, his eyes swept across Xu Fuxian's face. He paused for a moment. In fact, he didn't know Xu Fuxian. He recommended Xu Fuxian only based on the accounts in the account book. Now it seems that it might be a bit narrow-minded... However, when Duan Rong recommended him, he was thinking more about how to extricate himself in time.

At this time, Ruan Fengshan had already sat back on the tall and wide chair. He glanced at everyone and said, "The escort agency is so big, you still have to do the work."

"I know that some of you have done some unclean things in the past few years." Ruan Fengshan said, his eyes sweeping over Luan Jingfu intentionally or unintentionally.

"But this responsibility is not entirely yours!"

"At least half of the responsibility lies with me." Ruan Fengshan said solemnly, "I have indeed neglected many things in the escort agency in the past few years. Starting next year, I will no longer ask others to do the year-end audit. No matter how busy I am, I will check it myself."

"I hope everyone can take care of their own business and their own people. I can let bygones be bygones, but if you find anyone has made false reports or embezzled money again, don't blame me for settling all the old and new accounts together!" Ruan Fengshan's words made the Juyi Hall silent, and no one present dared to even breathe.

Ruan Fengshan was silent for a while before he said, "Xu Shouxian has been the chief accountant for more than 20 years. He certainly made some mistakes, but he has paid the price. You are colleagues. After the meeting, take some time to go to his house and burn some incense."

Xu Fuxian's lips trembled when he heard Ruan Fengshan's words. He didn't expect that Ruan Fengshan would finally give his brother such respect.

If Ruan Fengshan didn't say anything, the people in the escort agency would probably not go to pay their respects out of fear of taboos.

Ruan Fengshan suddenly relaxed his tone and said, "Okay. No matter how difficult this year was, it's over! Xu Fuxian will be in charge of the accounting department from now on. You should cooperate with him."

The eyes of everyone in the field were immediately focused on Xu Fuxian.

Xu Fuxian's thin face still showed no expression. He clasped his fists in front of him, slowly moved half a circle, and said: "My fellow escort leaders and managers, the new method of reporting expenses will be written up and distributed to you before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. I hope you will report according to the items listed in the new method in the future to avoid mistakes and omissions."

Xu Fuxian's words caused some agitation in the venue.

As the saying goes, a new official starts with three fires, and now he has started to burn. The new method is to report according to the listed items. Isn't this cutting off everyone's source of income?
"Okay!" Ruan Fengshan suddenly said, "We'll see what happens next year. Before the New Year, there's one more thing I need to deal with."

When everyone on the field heard that there was something else, they suddenly became quiet.

"In March of next year, Taiyi Sect will hold the examination to select registered disciples, which is held every three years. For young people, this is a matter of leaping over the dragon gate!"

"Originally, our escort agency had two young men, Luan Bao and Xiao Yu, who were promising talents."

"Before the middle of the year, I promised that their registration fees would be paid from the escort agency's account. Firstly, it is my support for young people, and it can also be regarded as a little bit of luck for them. Secondly, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Luan have both devoted their heart and soul to the Yuanshun Escort Agency, and this is also a little reward from the escort agency for their years of hard work."

"But..." Ruan Fengshan said, then changed the subject: "Things have changed a bit in the past six months!"

"Master Duan Rong of the Second Escort Team has made great achievements!"

"In the middle of the year, I saved Jing'er from the hands of the Bitter Fate Gang. This is the first. Later, I served in the Second Escort Team, and I grew up quickly and contributed a lot to the team. Sun Huang applied to me for a commendation for him last month. This is the second. This bad debt incident is almost a cancer for the Escort Agency. Duan Rong was the one who initially investigated this matter. This is the third."

"Duan Rong has made such a great contribution, he must be rewarded!"

"Moreover, Duan Rong has also achieved the minor success of the third level of the Inner Breath Realm, and is now eligible to participate in the selection of Taiyi Sect's registered disciples."

As Ruan Fengshan spoke, many people on the field turned their eyes to Duan Rong.

Duan Rong's rise was so rapid that many of them have not yet reacted.

During the mid-year promotion examination, in addition to Xiao Zongting, there were four escort team leaders present. At that time, Duan Rong, as a trainee escort, achieved the second level of Inner Breath Realm, which had already attracted the attention of several people. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, Duan Rong broke through again and achieved the minor success level of the third level of Inner Breath Realm.

However, they did not know that Duan Rong had not only achieved the fourth level of Inner Breath Realm, but had even broken through to the subtle level.

In the realm of inner breath, he only has the last layer of perfection left!
However, this layer of skin looked as thin as window paper, but Duan Rong couldn't break it!
