The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window lattice, giving the room a warm orange glow.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing sat side by side at the table, on which various breeding materials were piled up like a small mountain.
The air was filled with a faint scent of ink, which was the notes they had compiled overnight in order to plan a new project.
Shen Qiqi pointed at a drawing, her eyes shining like the brightest stars in the night sky, "Brother Qing, look, the market potential of this rabbit is huge, it's simply the next big thing!" Her tone was full of excitement, as if she had already seen a golden future waving at them.
Lu Qing smiled and ruffled her hair, his eyes full of doting, "Qiqi, you are right! Let's do something big this time and make everyone rich." He picked up a pen and carefully wrote down everything on paper, occasionally putting forward his own opinions. The two of them talked back and forth, cooperating with each other tacitly, like a pair made in heaven.
However, this harmonious atmosphere was soon broken.
"Oh my, I heard someone is going to do something big again? How much money are they going to make this time? They're going to eat meat without even spitting out the bones, right?" Mrs. Lu's sarcastic voice was like a needle piercing the calm air.
Her face, painted with cheap rouge, looked particularly distorted in the sunset.
"I say, Mr. Lu's family, are you going to keep all the benefits for yourself again? We haven't even looked at the last accounts clearly yet!" Zhang's suspicious neighbor also jumped out, his small eyes flashing with distrust.
The rumor spread quickly among the neighbors as if it had wings.
Everyone's original admiration for Shen Qiqi was instantly replaced by suspicion and dissatisfaction.
Suspicious glances, like invisible swords, were pointed directly at Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing.
"Exactly. Who knows if they're trying to sneakily make a fortune again and play us for fools!"
"Where are the last accounts? Show them to everyone. Don't try to fool us!"
Doubts came one after another, surging like the rising tide.
The originally warm atmosphere was instantly replaced by fear and anger.
Shen Qiqi frowned. She and Lu Qing looked at each other. Without saying anything, they already understood each other's thoughts.
Shen Qiqi slowly stood up, her eyes firm and confident.
She picked up a thick account book and slammed it hard on the table, making a loud "bang" sound that was clearly heard by everyone and shocked their minds.
"Dear uncles and aunts, since you have questions about the accounts, let's calculate them carefully and thoroughly!" The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Come on, come on, come closer and take a good look. This is no secret!" Her clear voice echoed in the crowd like a loud horn, foreshadowing a coming storm.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were surrounded by their neighbors, and their questioning voices were like annoying mosquitoes in the summer, buzzing into their ears.
Those unpleasant words were like tiny needles, piercing her heart and causing her pain.
The feeling of grievance was like the rising tide, instantly drowning her.
She felt a tightness in her chest, as if she was being pressed down by a huge rock and couldn't breathe.
Lu Qing noticed her abnormality and held her small hand tightly with his big hand.
The warmth of that palm was like a flame, instantly dispelling the haze in her heart.
She raised her head and saw Lu Qing's determined eyes, which were full of trust and encouragement.
A warm feeling came over me
Taking a deep breath, Shen Qiqi calmed her mind, and a confident arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She calmly picked up a thick account book from the table, opened it page by page, and showed it to everyone.
Those densely packed numbers recorded every income and expenditure of their previous project.
She then took out the profit distribution records, which clearly stated the dividends for each company, even to the decimal point, which was even more detailed than the current financial statements.
The neighbors' eyes were wide open, staring at the account book as if they were watching a foreign spectacle, with shock written all over their faces.
They all stretched their necks, wishing they could put their eyes on the account books.
The originally noisy sounds gradually disappeared, replaced by silence.
"My God, this account is so clear!"
"How much money does it cost to be so meticulous?"
"Look at them, then look at us, there's a world of difference!"
"This profit distribution is so fair! It's really distribution according to work!"
Exclamations and discussions came one after another, like gusts of breeze, blowing away the previous suspicions and dissatisfaction.
Everyone looked at each other, with an expression of admiration on their faces.
Only then did they understand that Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were not trying to get rich secretly, but really wanted to lead everyone to get rich together.
The atmosphere of trust spread among the crowd again.
Those neighbors who were so angry just now now lowered their heads and scratched their heads embarrassedly.
Their previous doubts were like a loud slap in the face.
Just when everyone thought Shen Qiqi would angrily blame Lu Ersao, she suddenly put down the account book in her hand, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said to Lu Qing: "Brother Qing, what do you think we should do next? I heard that recently..."
"Second sister-in-law, since you are so concerned about the accounts, why don't you join us and supervise the next project together?" Shen Qiqi looked at Second Sister-in-law Lu with a smile. There was no trace of blame in her tone, but rather a sincere invitation.
