The Xiangtian Internet Cafe where Shi Yao was located was jointly opened by Shi Yao and several of his brothers.
The person in charge was called Mou Zitong, a young man with green hair. He was very smooth and had some connections, and his internet cafe business was doing quite well.
Shi Yao also owns shares and receives a share of the profits every month, but He Qinqin doesn't know this and thinks Shi Yao works for the internet cafe.
Shi Yao followed those quick tutorials on short videos, such as "Teach You to Read Financial Statements in Three Minutes" and "It's So Easy to Find Flaws in Fake Accounts," and his eyes were tired from looking at the reports, but he was still completely confused.
At this moment, the internet cafe owner, Mou Zi, came over and saw what was displayed on Shi Yao's computer desktop: "Hey, Brother Yao, you're really going to get into investing and doing business, huh? You're quite professional, you've even started studying company financial statements!"
Shi Yao suddenly remembered that Mou Zitong had studied at the Finance School for a year before dropping out.
"Hey bro, do you know anyone who knows how to read this?"
"I feel there's something wrong with this company's accounts."
Mu Zitong chuckled, "Brother, you've come to the right person!"
"Old Bai!" Mu Zitong walked up to a chubby, fair-skinned man wearing black-rimmed glasses in a nonchalant manner.
The man known as "Old Bai" was in a team battle in the game. Although he was impatient, when he saw that the person calling him was the internet cafe owner, he put on a smile and said, "Brother Mou, what's up?"
"Come here." Mu Zitong exhaled a smoke ring and pulled the man up from his seat. His movements were somewhat rough, and Lao Bai didn't dare to utter a sound.
"Take a look at these reports and accounts and see if there's anything suspicious about them."
Old Bai stared at the screen, hesitantly asking, "Which company is this...?"
"Just look at it, stop talking nonsense!"
Mou Zitong's joking tone carried a hint of threat: "You don't want your wife to know you're playing games here, do you?"
Old Bai's wife is pregnant, and he doesn't want to stay home to take care of her after work. So he tells his wife that he's working overtime every day to earn money for baby formula, but in reality, he's playing games at an internet cafe.
Old Bai could only look at it carefully, and the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed: "There is indeed a problem with this account. Some details are fabricated, but they are hidden very well."
Shi Yao looked at the seemingly simple-minded fat man with a surprisingly professional air about him and exclaimed, "Wow, I didn't realize you were such an expert!"
Mu Zitong stubbed out his cigarette: "You don't know, although Lao Bai is terrible at video games, he used to be a top student."
"If his parents hadn't been injured at work and become disabled, and he hadn't taken the blame for his boss and gone to jail, he would probably be a successful person at one of the Big Four accounting firms now."
When Lao Bai heard Mu Zitong bring up the past, his expression turned sour. Mu Zitong knew he had said too much and stopped talking about it.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yao patted Lao Bai on the shoulder: "Brother, we're in the same boat!"
"My parents' lives were ruined by those bosses."
Old Bai was taken aback by Shi Yao's words, "Your parents too..."
"Brother Bai, you've done a great job this time!" Shi Yao patted Bai on the shoulder: "Soon, I'll be able to avenge my parents."

The next morning.
It was too late last night, so Aunt Ling slept in the guest room of the Si family home and had breakfast with Si Jiuyin this morning.
Si Jiuyin ate for a while and then put down her bowl. She glanced at her watch and picked up the folder that her driver, Xiao Liu, had brought her yesterday.
"Aunt Ling, I'm rushing to the company to discuss the plan today." Si Jiuyin stood up and said to Aunt Ling, "Take your time eating. I'll take you home when Xiao Liu comes back later."
"So urgent?" Aunt Ling replied, "Go on, be careful on the road, don't tire yourself out too much."
"good!"
Si Jiuyin's figure disappeared through the doorway.
Aunt Ling stirred the porridge, then suddenly sniffed it, "Old Liu."
Aunt Ling called to Butler Liu, "Why don't I smell any flowers today?"
"Didn't Miss Hu come to deliver the flowers this morning?"
Butler Liu tidied up the tableware that Si Jiuyin had used: "Yes."
"Miss Hu will not be coming anymore for some reason. We've changed florists, and she won't be able to come until tomorrow."
Aunt Ling had already brought the porcelain spoon to her lips when she heard this, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her face.
After clearing away the dishes, Butler Liu said, "Later, I'll make a fool of myself by sticking a few foxtail grasses on it."
"Anyway, President Si is so busy with that Spring Festival series these days that he won't pay attention to these flowers and plants."
Aunt Ling laughed upon hearing this, "You should be more careful, Mr. Si is very meticulous."
“That’s true.” Butler Liu went into the kitchen.

The largest conference room at the headquarters of the Si Group is number one.
All the key members of the Si Group were present.
People whispered among themselves upon seeing this display: "This Lunar New Year limited edition series discussion in the food department has never been this big in previous years!"
"Yes, I saw that the finance department and the purchasing department were both there."
"I heard it's because that recently emerging convenience store chain, Good Food Convenience Store, has been too arrogant. This time, President Si is going to use the New Year limited edition series to give them a good slap in the face!"
"Thinking about it this way, it makes sense. Their prices are lower than ours, but their ingredients are about the same. We really need to call the finance and purchasing departments over for a proper meeting."
"Hey, it's been more than half a year since we've seen President Si at the regular meetings. Have you all seen what's going on about President Si online?"
The conversation gradually turned into gossip.
Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, the crisp sound of high heels came from the conference room door.
The murmurs subsided.
Everyone stood up and looked towards the doorway.
Si Jiuyin wore a genuine leather down jacket over a silk long dress, and the double-layered Australian white pearl necklace around her neck made her look elegant and noble.
She walked in alone, yet she commanded the attention of the entire audience of forty or fifty people.
The gate was closed by administrative staff.
Good morning, please have a seat.
Si Jiuyin spoke.
The echo reverberated in the large conference room. After everyone sat down, they all felt a lingering fear. Today, President Si's aura, which seemed to pierce the ceiling, was quite different from the gentle and elegant feeling they remembered.
"The Si Group's success today is largely due to the contributions of all of you."
As Si Jiuyin spoke, she took off her cashmere gloves.
"So, there are some things that I turn a blind eye to as long as it doesn't harm the group's interests."
"Everyone knows what kind of treatment the Si Group offers; even senior executives from companies ranked ahead of us aspire to it."
Everyone's hearts pounded when they heard Si Jiuyin's words. Was she about to confront them?
Some people were calm, while others were hoping for the best.
With the Good Food brand eyeing the group from the outside, wouldn't conducting an internal purge at this time make it easy for the enemy to take advantage of the situation?
"It's understandable that large machines will rust and corrode."
"But if there are too many parasites and they become too fat, and the Si Group, this big tree, falls, how good will things be for you in the long run?!"
Si Jiuyin changed the subject and directly addressed the CFO: "Director Yi, I'll ask you one more time, have you all settled the company's accounts?"
