Chapter 86 Taking the Blame
"Ouch!"
Wang Chenyi exclaimed in surprise, and Zhang Yanqi, who was right behind him, looked even more shocked.
"What is this?"
Inside the refrigerator were rows of takeout boxes, some of which contained leftover food.
Zhang Yanqi and Wang Chenyi took out the takeout boxes and placed them on the dining table one by one, and everyone's expressions were quite interesting.
Xia Chuan said, "Wow! This isn't leftovers from the last person who stayed here, is it?"
Chen He glanced at it, pursed his lips, and then turned his head away.
"Hey? How come there's money here?" Zhang Yanqi picked up a stack of cash from the refrigerator, counted it, and said, "It looks like... six thousand five hundred yuan."
(All converted to cash)
Upon hearing this, Xia Nian, who was eating a steamed bun, immediately raised her hand and shouted, "Iced RMB!"
Shu Chang patted Xia Nian's head and laughed, "You even came up with the idea of chilling RMB. Your head is really big."
Liu Yifei then asked, "Why would you have money?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked puzzled.
Lu Han added, "And it's 6,500 yuan in cash, plus all this leftover food... Could it be...?"
He turned to look at Deng Chao, whose expression seemed somewhat unnatural, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I know! It must have been Brother Chao who went out to eat last night and then brought all this stuff back!"
Upon hearing this, Deng Chao felt a little guilty and immediately said, "How could that be? I drank too much last night. Besides, even if it were me, why would I put money in the refrigerator? And I don't manage money. My friend treated me to dinner last night."
Upon hearing this, Lu Han was stunned for a moment.
Liu Yifei suddenly asked, "By the way, how much money do we have left? I remember it should be more than six thousand five, right?"
(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)
Xia Chuan replied, "I've calculated it; it should be over seven thousand yuan, but it's not with me."
Liu Yifei glanced at Xia Chuan, who remained calm, and his suspicions lessened considerably, but he still asked, "Who is keeping the money?"
"The money in this refrigerator can't possibly be our money, can it?"
"That would mean losing over a thousand dollars."
Chen He thought for a moment and said, "I remember yesterday I exchanged all my money for cash and put it in a black bag, but I forgot where I put it. Who took that bag?"
After listening, Wang Chenyi and Zhang Yanqi shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't seen it at all.
Shu Chang and Tao Hong both shrugged; they hadn't even paid attention to the money issue.
Liu Yifei's gaze swept over everyone, lingering on Xia Chuan for a few more seconds, before he chuckled and said, "That's interesting. Our money is gone, but there are some leftovers and 6,500 yuan in cash in the refrigerator. I'm really curious why someone would put cash in the refrigerator."
"Are you afraid the money will expire?"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Xia Nian slurped up her black chicken soup, tilted her head, and looked at everyone, saying, "Dad, how about we check if these leftovers are still edible?"
Liu Yifei rolled his eyes at Xia Nian and said, "You little brat, all you ever think about is eating or playing. Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"
Xia Chuan had already started opening the boxes one by one, saying, "They shouldn't be broken. Maybe they're from the production crew. They went out to dinner last night and brought some back with them."
The production team: I'm so impressed, we can't even argue with that!
"I understand!" Chen He suddenly clapped his hands, pointing to the 6,500 yuan on the table and said, "Didn't everyone fail to see the black bag containing the money? And Chuanzi said that these leftovers were likely takeout from the production crew's dinner last night, which means that this money belongs to us, but the production crew spent over 1,000 yuan of it!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Hong frowned slightly: "That can't be right, the production team shouldn't be that shameless."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan immediately added, "Sister Hong, the production team certainly won't do that, but we have to be careful with Lao Wang. You have no idea how badly we were tricked by him before."
Deng Chao understood what was going on. Since Old Wang wasn't there, he immediately started blaming him: "Sister Hong, Yifei, and Changchang, you don't know, Old Wang is a wolf in sheep's clothing, cunning and treacherous, with absolutely no moral bottom line. Every day he's either thinking about how to swindle our money or trying every possible way to make us suffer!"
Xia Nian swallowed the food in her mouth and pouted, "That's right, Uncle Wang is a very nice person, but he always has bad thoughts about the money we work so hard to earn."
When Liu Yifei heard that even his own little devil had said such a thing, his suspicions about Xia Chuan lessened somewhat.
"No matter what, we're short over a thousand yuan, and we definitely need to get to the bottom of this," Shu Chang said.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan, Chen He, and Deng Chao felt somewhat helpless. The three of them had just tacitly pushed the blame onto the production team and Lao Wang, just to make them take the fall.
Even with Xia Nian's unintentional assistance, Liu Yifei, who had always doubted Xia Chuan, put aside his suspicions.
At this moment, a member of the production crew walked in and said, "Breakfast is 200 yuan, plus a 100 yuan commission, making a total of 300 yuan. Let's do the math."
Xia Chuan quickly said, "Changchang, and Sister Hong, look what I just said! When you came in, Xiao Lu complained to you about how the production team is such a rip-off, taking a hundred yuan handling fee right off the bat!"
Lu Han nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's a total rip-off!"
Chen He feigned generosity, but in reality, he was trying to divert Shu Chang and the others' attention. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Chen Yi, take 300 yuan from this 6,500 yuan and give it to them right away! We don't need the money, but we must condemn their swindling behavior!"
Staff member: "???"
You guys are really dogs! Which staff member doesn't know what happened last night? Our boss is still drunk!
However, he didn't say much, just glanced at Xia Chuan and the other two, and then quickly left.
This action, however, puzzled the observant Shu Chang, who asked directly, "Brother Chao, why did the crew glance at the three of you when they left?"
Liu Yifei chimed in, "Moreover, Xia Chuan and Chen He give off a strange vibe."
Xia Chuan and Chen He exchanged a glance, then looked away.
Xia Nian also shouted, "I had a feeling before that Dad and Uncle He were lying. I suspect... they must have done something bad behind our backs!"
Everyone's gaze instantly turned to Xia Chuan and Chen He.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Deng Chao, standing nearby, decisively betrayed his teammates: "Yeah, actually I think those two are also problematic. They kept talking about how I drank, which clearly means they did something wrong and are trying to use me to change the subject!"
Lu Han nodded seriously: "I think Brother Chao makes a good point!"
Xia Chuan and Chen He immediately rolled their eyes at the two of them.
"When you speak, you must be prepared with evidence."
