Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 186 I feel like a clown

The finance office isn't very big.

There were seven people standing there, and the other six were staring blankly at Lu Qiaoge.

At that moment, Accountant Shen felt that even the air in the finance office was stuffy.

How could this be?
Why is this happening?

The amount on the tickets was incorrect, but neither of them admitted to losing them.

Xiao Liu kept arguing, implying that Lu Qiaoge should take on this responsibility.

But Lu Qiaoge had a backup plan; the money had just been returned from the department store.

Is it such a coincidence?
Lu Qiaoge urged again, "Everyone's pretty busy, so don't waste time on trivial matters. Check that everything's in order and it's best to get the money in as soon as possible."

Xiaoliu's mind was in a mess, and she felt like a clown.

Since we still have one ticket, there's no need to go to the department store.

Old Hu sat in his chair and said to Accountant Shen with a serious expression, "You come and check the entries."

The finance office was quiet.

Liu Jing stood there, unsure of what to say.

She didn't even realize that Lao Hu no longer needed her to keep accounts.

After reviewing the documents, Accountant Shen truthfully replied, "It's true, they're all department store bills."

Since it's true, it should be recorded in the account.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiaoge stopped her with a smile and said to Accountant Shen, "I need to take this missing bottom slip back to the food factory, but I need to re-register which one is missing, and then the leader needs to sign and stamp it."

Accountant Shen thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly Lu Qiaoge had more to say.

She put down her pen and said unhappily, "Then check it yourself, and we'll talk after you've checked it."

Lu Qiaoge pretended not to see Shen the accountant's cold face and said to Hu Ze, "You write it down, according to the amount of the lost tickets, I'll tell you the date, the amount, and who issued the tickets..."

Everyone thought Lu Qiaoge would check the bills one by one, but to their surprise, Lu Qiaoge simply said, "On the 9th of this month, 500 corn cakes and 600 shortbreads, totaling 63 yuan..."

Lu Qiaoge didn't even look at the ticket before saying it directly.

Old Hu stood up and checked the tickets with him. He found that Lu Qiaoge was right.

He asked in surprise, "Qiao Ge, how did you know?"

"Didn't I just flip through it once?"

"So you've memorized all of that?"

"This is our food factory's sales performance for the first month. We must remember every single one of these figures."

Old Hu went to see Hu Ze.

Hu Ze immediately broke out in a sweat, but he still said, "I've memorized most of it."

Old Hu was not satisfied and decided to give his son a good talking-to that evening.

Soon, all the missing tickets were replaced.

Then Lao Hu and Accountant Shen both signed and stamped their seals and financial seals on it.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Lu Qiaoge, holding the replacement IOU, blinked and muttered to herself, "Luckily, it was only those few that were lost."

Hu Ze was also moved, feeling that their factory director Lu's words were not just empty talk.

He then added, "Why? Is there anything special about these pictures?"

Old Hu also looked at Lu Qiaoge.

What is this girl up to now? But Old Hu didn't chase her away; he sat back down in his chair and waited patiently.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Liu Jing, who was standing to the side with a gloomy face, and said meaningfully to Hu Ze, "Have you forgotten? This ticket number twelve, when it was on the table, was pooped on twice by a sparrow that flew in, making the ticket all dirty. You were the one who cleaned it up." Liu Jing's eyes widened immediately, looking at Lu Qiaoge in disbelief.

Hu Ze is smart; otherwise, Lu Qiaoge wouldn't have put him in charge of finance.

He suddenly realized and said, "Oh, now that you mention it, I remember! I did poop in the paper, a big yellow and white mess. It's especially hard to clean when it's on paper, so I just waited for it to dry and shook it off. But there are bird droppings all around..."

Old Hu, Old Huang, and even Accountant Shen and Sister Chu all looked at Liu Jing, whose expression had changed.

Liu Jing gritted her teeth and clenched her hands together, trying her best not to be affected. She even thought, "It's just bird poop, what's the big deal?"

And they were all dried.

But just thinking about what she had swallowed... made Liu Jing feel nauseous.

Old Huang and Old Hu exchanged a glance; those two brats.

Even without evidence, we should still disgust Liu Jing; what if we're right?

Accountant Shen fell silent.

She's not stupid; how could she not guess what's going on?
But this is not the end.

Lu Qiaoge suddenly said with relief, "Luckily, I lost the ticket from the 21st. It would be disgusting if someone had swallowed it."

Liu Jing's face changed completely. She stared intently at Lu Qiaoge, her expression a mixture of fear and resentment.

The expressions of the others then became subtle.

Hu Ze continued to play along with Lu Qiaoge, saying, "Why? I didn't think of that."

Lu Qiaoge didn't say what it was about, and he didn't know how to continue making things up.

"It's all my fault..." Lu Qiaoge paused here, her eyes darting around as she watched Liu Jing's ever-changing expression with satisfaction. She curled the corners of her lips, looking as if she didn't want to continue. "Never mind, never mind, I won't say anymore. Anyway, even if someone finds the lost money, no one would be stupid enough to eat it."

Hu Ze nodded: "Yes, only a fool would eat it, so it's fine."

Lu Qiaoge glanced at the highest-ranking leader present: "Director Hu, is there any further instruction?"

Old Hu gave Liu Jing a deep look. No need to think about it anymore; Liu Jing had ruined the money.

This kind of person is no longer suitable for the finance department.

He needs to go to the office and factory management to report and see how to handle the situation.

Anyway, we can't keep her around any longer.

He said to Lu Qiaoge, "You did a very good job with your self-reflection just now. You must remember today's lesson!"

Not only Lu Qiaoge, but Hu Ze also loudly declared that he remembered.

"Since there are only Liu Jing and Lu Qiaoge in the finance office, both sides have their own version of events and neither can prove their case, so let's leave it at that for now, and don't let it happen again!"

Lu Qiaoge and Hu Ze did not object and obediently agreed.

Old Hu was very satisfied with the attitude of the two men.

As for Liu Jing, who remained silent and seemed to be pondering something, Lao Hu didn't want her anymore and naturally couldn't be bothered with her.

He could only handle it this way for the time being; what else could he do? There was no written proof from Lu Qiao.

It might not be a bad thing to teach Qiao Ge a lesson through this.

Just then, his unreliable son suddenly asked Lu Qiaoge, "Factory Director, I'm a little curious, what happened to the tickets on the 21st? Can you tell me?"

Lu Qiaoge and Hu Ze had not left the finance office at this time.

Lu Qiaoge said casually, "Don't be disgusted if I tell you."

Hu Ze immediately assured him, "It's not disgusting!"

Accountant Shen suddenly stood up and scolded, "Alright, this is the finance office. Now that it's resolved, everyone leave."

This is a sensitive financial area; unauthorized personnel are not permitted!
