However, while he thinks this way, others do not.
Qian Liulin had already noticed something was wrong with Xu Youcai and had a rough idea of why he had let Xu Youcai get away.
"Accountant Xu, why are you standing still? Is there a problem?"
Qian Liulin's words were like a thunderclap in Xu Youcai's ears, making him tremble with fear.
What to do? What should we do now? This ledger absolutely cannot be seen by the money inspector.
Xu Youcai's face was pale, and sweat slid down his forehead, dripping into his eyes and making them sting.
Xu Youcai was extremely anxious; his hands trembled as he held the ledger, almost unable to hold it.
His mind went blank. The only thought that came to mind was that he was finished, that he was done for this time.
I can't think of any solution.
"Accountant Xu, what's wrong? You look so pale. Are you sick? Should we see a doctor?"
Qian Liulin raised his voice and asked again, his concern evident in his words.
But no one knew the sarcasm in his eyes or the cold snort in his heart.
Was he frightened? It seems there really is something wrong with this ledger.
Without any further hesitation, he immediately said, "If Accountant Xu is not feeling well, you can leave the ledger with me to rest. I will give it to Secretary Li after I have finished reviewing it."
His words sent a chill down Xu Youcai's spine once again. Hand it over to Li Weiguo? No, no, no, that would be even worse for him.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to say, "I'm fine." But his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't say anything.
He wanted to say he had taken the wrong ledger and go back to get the correct one, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he couldn't move them no matter what.
His appearance, coupled with Qian Liulin's words, made everyone realize that something was wrong with him.
Luo Weijia cursed under his breath that the idiot couldn't even do a simple ledger properly. He stood up angrily, his smile tinged with rage.
"Accountant Xu, Inspector Qian asked you to bring the ledgers. What are you doing? Hurry up and bring them over. You can't afford to take responsibility if this delays the work."
As he spoke, he approached Xu Youcai with a smile that was more pronounced than usual, but then snatched the ledger from Xu Youcai's hand.
Xu Youcai instinctively wanted to snatch it back; it was his secret, and he absolutely couldn't let anyone else know.
The two men each held one side of the ledger. They looked like they were in a standoff.
Luo Weijia was also angry. What was wrong with Xu Youcai? How could he be so inconsiderate? How dare he embarrass him, the village chief, in front of the leaders?
Has he forgotten who exactly supported him in becoming the accountant?
A sinister smile appeared on Luo Weijia's face, and his eyes were filled with ruthlessness. He said threateningly, "Let go, Accountant Xu."
Xu Youcai is now in a dilemma.
If he didn't give it to them, he would offend Luo Weijia and also give the visiting leaders a reason to criticize him.
But if he gives it to him, he'll be finished.
Song Lili stood outside the window, watching this scene with irony; reality was far more interesting than her plans.
This part about Luo Weijia wasn't in the plan. It was brilliant, truly brilliant.
However, this is just the beginning; what follows may be even more exciting.
She watched with a smile, not even noticing Zhang Qinghua standing behind her for quite some time.
All her attention was focused on Xu Youcai and Luo Weijia, whose face was almost contorted.
Luo Weijia subtly exerted considerable force with his hands, but his tone remained gentle as he said, "Accountant Xu, give me the ledger. Since you're not feeling well, go home."
Hmph, once this is over, we'll have a proper talk about this idiot.
How could he have been so incomprehensible before, to actually cooperate with such an idiot?
Now that this person has something on him, he has no choice but to help.
Xu Youcai was caught off guard when Luo Weijia snatched away his account book, as if his strength had been drained away as well.
His eyes were fixed on the ledger in Luo Weijia's hand, watching helplessly as it ended up in Qian Liulin's hands.
He tried hard to suppress his fear, comforting himself, telling himself to stay calm, he had to stay calm, he couldn't let anyone see through him.
Maybe Inspector Qian won't find out? He can't control himself and he's scaring himself.
He comforted himself like this, but his gaze never left her, as if he wanted his eyes to spit fire and burn the account book in Qian Liulin's hand.
Feeling that burning gaze, Qian Liulin's lips curled up again.
He flipped through them slowly, one item at a time, looking at them very carefully, even though he had seen them all before.
He is a person who is quite sensitive to familiarity, so after seeing something once, although he can't remember it perfectly, he can still remember most of it.
Some key data also shows that this is the same book that Song Lili showed him that day.
He watched with great interest, wondering what Song Lili would do next.
Does he just need to tell people what's inside?
In his view, there was no problem with the length of the document. If there was any problem, it was that a few data points seemed unreasonable.
That's just what it looks like.
However, he has decided to keep his promise to Song Lili and won't take it too seriously.
While looking around, he said, "It seems that the people in Hongqi Village are very hardworking. Everyone has accumulated quite a few work points, especially the few households with more work points than I have seen in other villages."
"Very good. I hope everyone will keep up the good work and strive for a good harvest so that we can have a prosperous New Year."
