She raised her head and said, "Sir, there is more than one book, right?"
The accountant looked up and glanced at Chen Jingxi furtively, then quickly lowered his head. "Sir, this is the only copy."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jingxi slammed the table and said, "How dare you! How dare you cook the books!"
The accountant was horrified. "What an injustice! Sir, how dare I falsify the accounts?"
Chen Jingxi sneered, "Humph, you don't dare? Then how is the interest calculated in this pawnshop?"
"Sir, it's seven cents."
"Seven cents! What a great seven cents! Boss, tell him how much interest you want to charge every day for the twenty taels you just gave him."
The shopkeeper's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, we are doing this for the pawnshop's business. Business is not good these days, and the princess needs money, so we..."
Before he could finish, Chen Jingxi interrupted him coldly, "There's not much money in this account."
The shopkeeper was speechless for a moment.
Chen Jingxi glanced at everyone present. "Since you can't explain it clearly, there's no need to explain it. From today on, none of you need to stay here."
When the accountant heard this, he panicked. His whole family depended on him for their livelihood. If he lost this livelihood, they would all starve to death.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master, please forgive me! It was the shopkeeper who told me to do this. I have no choice. If I don't do it, he will kick me out."
The shopkeeper was furious when he heard this. He kicked him away and angrily shouted, "You traitor! You've been frightened like this by a stinky boy who hasn't even grown all his hair yet? You want to chase me away? You can't!"
"It was the princess who asked you to leave."
The shopkeeper burst into laughter and said triumphantly, "Princess? Where is the princess? I've never seen her! I'm the lady's man, so even if the princess comes, I have to obey her!"
Chen Jingxi looked at everyone, "Do you think so too?"
Everyone lowered their heads.
After hesitating for a while, the guy raised his head and said, "I'm willing to listen to you, sir."
Chen Jingxi nodded. "What about you? Have you thought it through? Will you listen to him or me?"
The rest of you look at me and I look at you.
Han Yu admired Chen Jingxi more and more. In the previous moment, she seemed to see the prince's smile on the princess's face, the confidence and composure that everything was under control.
The princess is worthy of being a princess.
If Chen Jingxi knew what Han Yu was thinking, he would definitely say, it seems I am pretending very well.
"Sir, is the princess asking you to take over this pawnshop?"
"good."
"What about the shopkeeper?"
"He's going back to where he came from."
"Then we are willing to listen to you, sir."
"How dare you betray my wife?" The shopkeeper's face turned red with anger.
"This pawnshop belongs to the princess. Our master is also a princess. Madam? What madam? We don't know."
Before, the princess didn't take care of things, and the pawnshop had always been managed by the lady. The shopkeeper relied on being the lady's relative and beat, scolded and bullied them in various ways.
They also deducted the monthly salary in various ways, and they had long been eager to skin the shopkeeper alive.
I hesitated just now because I was afraid that the princess was just talking, and I would still listen to my wife when the time comes.
"Boss, you can go now."
The shopkeeper turned and walked inside.
Chen Jingxi glanced at him and said, "Boss, you've come to the wrong place. The door is over there."
The shopkeeper stopped, turned around and glared at Chen Jingxi, snorted coldly, and walked away.
The accountant stepped forward cautiously, his face showing a bit of trepidation and anxiety: "Sir, we were also oppressed by the shopkeeper before, so..."
Chen Jingxi nodded slightly, "I understand. Take out the account book."
The accountant nodded quickly, turned around and ran to the accounting office. After a while, he returned with a thick account book in his arms.
Chen Jingxi took the account book, flipped through a few pages, and then stopped moving, tapping the account lightly with his index finger.
After a while, she looked up and said, "Okay, that's it for today. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll reorganize these accounts."
The accountant and the clerks nodded in agreement and then went their separate ways.
Chen Jingxi turned to look at the woman and said, "Girl, please go."
The woman seemed a little bit unable to believe her ears and asked, "You want to let me go?"
Chen Jingxi nodded, "Yes, you can go."
The woman fell to her knees and thanked him profusely, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! I will definitely repay you in the future."
After saying that, she stood up and left the pawnshop.
Chen Jingxi said to Han Yu beside him, "Let's go back too."
"Yes, sir."
After leaving the pawnshop, the shopkeeper went straight to Chen's house.
"What's the matter? Why are you so anxious to see me?" Wang walked in.
The shopkeeper came forward when he saw Wang, "Oh no! The princess just sent someone to the pawnshop to replace me."
Wang's face changed when she heard this. "What? That girl would actually do such a thing? Did she discover something?"
The shopkeeper nodded and continued, "When that guy came, he said we had cooked the accounts. I tried to get you, Madam, out, but he showed no mercy and kicked me out straight away."
After hearing this, Wang couldn't help but say angrily: "Fool, aren't you just telling him directly that you are mine?"
"Madam, this... I was in a hurry at the moment and didn't expect it to be like this."
I didn't expect that it wouldn't work for you.
"I'm being careless for not informing you in advance. Have you got the account book out yet?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I was kicked out before I could even get it."
