Chapter 434: Things Lost in the Warehouse

"Manager Su, what are you doing?"

Seeing that her face looked a little strange, Lao Wang asked nervously.

Su Xiaoxiao carefully read the list again, pointed at one place and asked Lao Wang, "Uncle Wang, we purchased this watch for 100 yuan, and I see it's sold for 85 yuan, so there should be 15 yuan left, but..."

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, her eyes fell on the warehouse shelves.

Because they are best-selling items, those watches are placed in the most conspicuous position at the entrance for easy pickup.

Without having to count them one by one, Lao Wang could tell at a glance that there were only thirteen watches left, which meant that two watches were missing.

Old Wanghan got angry immediately. He had been managing the warehouse for so many years, but had never made such a mistake.

"Manager Su, believe me, I didn't steal these watches. I really don't know why two of them are missing."

He was so anxious that tears came to his eyes. "Although I have the key to the warehouse, leaders from various departments often come here to pick up goods, and I dare not watch them..."

Having said this, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was also a leader, and he became even more panicked.

Of course Su Xiaoxiao would not doubt Lao Wang. Lao Wang has always been honest and upright. Moreover, if there really was something, he would not have given her the list so directly.

"Manager Su, please believe me, I really didn't do that! If I tell a lie, I'll be struck by lightning."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang was heard in the sky.

Lao Wang: “…”

Damn it, God is going to kill him! He really didn't do anything!

Just when he didn't know how to continue proving his innocence, Su Xiaoxiao spoke: "I believe it."

"Really? Manager Su, are you really willing to believe me?"

Lao Wang was extremely excited.

He now felt that Manager Su was his soulmate and his relative. If the situation was not inappropriate, he would have rushed over and kowtowed to her on the spot.

But before he could finish his excitement, Su Xiaoxiao spoke up: "Uncle Wang, it's not enough for me to trust you. We have to find the thief as soon as possible and clear your name."

"Yes, yes, I'll go find it right away."

Lao Wang nodded rapidly and rushed to find the murderer on the spot.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the man and said, "Uncle Wang, don't get excited. Let's check all the inventory first to see if there is anything missing."

"Yes, yes, check the inventory first!"

Old Wang no longer had his own opinion at this time. He just listened to Su Xiaoxiao and did whatever she told him to do.

The two of them divided the work and checked the list one by one.

The more he checked, the more likely Lao Wang was to have a heart attack.

Not only watches, but also fabrics, shoes, food, etc., the quantities are so large that they don't match, but the difference in numbers is small and doesn't seem very obvious.

"It's over! Manager Su, I'm done. What should I do now? I've lost so many things. Even if you sell me, I can't afford to compensate you."

Lao Wang usually watched very carefully and didn't think anyone could steal anything under his nose, so he never checked them one by one.

As a result, he was slapped in the face this time.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then leaned close to his ear and whispered her suggestion: "Uncle Wang, if you trust me, we can do this..."

After hearing her plan, Lao Wang hesitated: "Manager Su, is this...really feasible?"

"Don't worry, that person will definitely lose his patience and reveal his true colors."

"Okay, Manager Su, I'll listen to you. If this works, you'll be my savior from now on."

Uncle Wang's eyes turned red with excitement.

He was an old man about to retire, and he had to suffer such a career setback. It was like riding a roller coaster diving from a high altitude. It was scary.

A few minutes later, Su Xiaoxiao pretended to call Uncle Wang in the lobby.

"Uncle Wang, the general manager has asked me to be in charge of the year-end promotion. I plan to check the inventory this afternoon. Please bring the list to me later and come with me this afternoon to check the inventory."

Uncle Wang pretended to be panicked when he heard this. "Su... Manager Su, are we checking the inventory this afternoon? The warehouse is a bit messy, and a lot of things are unorganized. I'm afraid it's not very convenient. How about you wait until tomorrow to check?"

"Okay, tomorrow morning then."

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and nodded.

Liu Changjiang happened to hear the conversation between the two when he passed by.

The main reason is that both of them had loud voices, and almost everyone could hear it, except for some who were really hard of hearing.

Liu Changjiang stumbled. This damn girl was indeed his nemesis. Why was she checking the inventory when she was fine? She must be bored.

Fortunately, the warehouse manager, Lao Wang, seemed to be feeling guilty. He could find a way to get close to Lao Wang and ask him to do something so that the dead girl would not be able to check the inventory at all.

Just as I was secretly planning in my mind, I heard Su Xiaoxiao suddenly raise her voice: "Uncle Wang, you asked me to check it tomorrow. Are you hiding something from me and trying to delay time?"

"Manager Su, what you said is really wrong. I have always been honest and upright. How could I possibly be hiding something?"

Lao Wang sent the man away with a flattering look on his face. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he felt someone patted his shoulder.

Looking back, he was a little shocked to find that it was Liu Changjiang.

"Lao Wang, are you free tonight? I'd like to buy you a couple of drinks."

Uncle Wang thought to himself that it would never be good for a stingy person to pluck out feathers.

Could it be that the fish Manager Su wants to catch is Liu Changjiang's?

He immediately followed Su Xiaoxiao's instructions and sighed, "Oh, forget it. I have something to do tonight and I'm not in the mood. Thank you."

Seeing that no one was around, Liu Changjiang stepped forward and said, "Old Wang, are you having any difficulties? If you have any, just tell me directly. Given our relationship, I will definitely help if I can."

Lao Wang was hesitant. "It's...nothing, really. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Having said that, he pretended to leave, but was stopped by Liu Changjiang.

"Lao Wang, there's nothing we can't talk about with each other. If you have any difficulties, please tell me. Maybe I can really help you."

Wang Shugu looked at Liu Changjiang hesitantly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade Liu, you're smarter than me. Can I ask you something?"

Liu Changjiang said confidently: "Ask."

"It's just... a friend of mine who manages the inventory at their factory. He likes to take advantage of others and often steals things from the warehouse to take home.

But now the factory needs to check its inventory, and there's only one day left to remedy the situation. What do you think we should do to get over this?"

Liu Changjiang looked like he was thinking seriously. After a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Old Wang, you said it's so dry out here, so it's easy for fires to happen, right? If the warehouse catches fire by accident, wouldn't that be normal?"

Lao Wang suddenly understood: "Comrade Liu, what you mean is..."
