The shopkeeper's face was red the whole time. First, he was scolded by Chen Li. He was an old man, but was scolded by a young girl in front of so many employees. He felt ashamed and embarrassed. Then, Chen Li accused and suspected him openly and secretly. He was very angry. He thought he was upright and had worked in this shop for so long. He had always been conscientious and had worked hard. Even if he had no merits, he had worked hard. He didn't expect that in the end he would be suspected by his boss. It was simply an insult to his personality.

"What do you mean, boss? Are you doubting me, an old man?" Shopkeeper Yu was also a stubborn old man. What he cared most about was his reputation. He didn't talk back when Chen Li scolded him like a grandson, but he couldn't help it at this time. The boss could doubt anything but not his character, and he would not accept such an insult.

"Let's be frank. Since the shopkeeper said so, I will also point it out directly. The business has clearly shown signs of improvement during this period. Even if it is not profitable, it is impossible to lose so much. It is obvious that someone is cheating and enriching himself. And this person can only be you, the shopkeeper. After all, no one else has the authority and ability to do this."

Chen Li looked at the shopkeeper sharply, with a look of great pain and annoyance, not giving the shopkeeper any face. In her opinion, the shopkeeper was hired by her to do the job, so naturally she should order and blame him. Hadn't her boss done the same thing when she didn't do things well before? What's more, the shopkeeper had done such a heinous thing and betrayed her trust.

"Boss, I have done my best to work for you. I don't ask for your gratitude. After all, I have been paid. But you can't insult my personality like this. You put a false accusation on me before you have investigated the matter thoroughly and have no evidence. I, Yu Zhengqing, have lived a clean life. I ask myself if I have done things in a way that is worthy of the heaven and earth. Boss, please don't go too far!"

Yu Zhengqing's frank and clear conscience words sounded like complete sophistry to Chen Li. She felt that the shopkeeper had concealed all the evidence of embezzlement and thought that she could not find out, so he acted so righteous and fearless. She became more and more angry and annoyed.

"Manager Yu, you don't have to act so innocent. If you were so innocent, where did the money on the books go? Did it disappear out of thin air? Some things will leave clues once they are done, and I will always find out. Instead of denying it, you might as well spit out the money you swallowed honestly, and I will let it go. Otherwise, if I really get serious, you won't be able to save your reputation for most of your life!" Chen Li pointed at Yu Zhengqing angrily, thinking to herself that she was too kind. Such a stubborn servant should be sent to the government to be punished.

"I have lived for most of my life, but this is the first time I have seen such an unreasonable person. She is a woman after all, with long hair and short knowledge. If you can't afford the loss, you should not come out to do business. It's shameful to make such an ugly scene." Yu Zhengqing was very angry and spoke bluntly. He had long seen through the identity of the boss's daughter. The boss's concealment method was not very clever, but he just didn't say it out loud. Now he couldn't care less.

"Well, you shameless old man, you old rogue, you already knew my identity, so you came up with this idea, thinking that I am a girl and easy to bully. If you don't return the money you embezzled today, don't blame me for reporting you to the government and letting the government punish you!"

Chen Li was a little angry when her identity was exposed by the shopkeeper. In addition, her brain circuit was different from that of ordinary people, so the topic changed a little strangely. In the final analysis, Chen Li didn't believe from the bottom of her heart that her shop would make a loss. With her modern vision and talent, she spent so much energy to run the shop, she should make a lot of money, just like the shops she opened before, all of which made a lot of money every day. It was also the smooth sailing in recent days that made Chen Li's self-confidence swell. She was unwilling to believe in failure, so she put the blame on the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Yu's face turned pale and blue. He was just stating the facts without any bad intentions, yet he was called an old rogue. It was the first time in his life that he was accused and scolded like this. If he wasn't in such good health, he would have almost fainted from anger.

"Okay, I'm an old man who has done things right and I'm not afraid of people coming to investigate. Even if I have to go to court, it doesn't matter. Everything is subject to justice. But if the truth is found out, please give me an explanation. It's a serious crime to slander someone and frame him."

Shopkeeper Yu said this, and without waiting for Chen Li's reaction, he asked the shop assistants to go to the government to ask for help. If he didn't let the government investigate the matter today, he would have no need to live if he was slandered and had such a bad reputation. It was really shameful.

Chen Li was unable to stop him and felt a little angry. She was not really kind enough to not send Manager Yu to the authorities. She was just afraid of trouble. Officials have the final say and you can't come in without money. It would be best if she could resolve the matter privately and get the money back. If she brought it to the authorities, no matter what the result would be, it would cost a lot of money to deal with it. It was a pity that this old man acted too quickly and was so fearless. Was he really innocent, or was he in cahoots with the authorities?

Those guys usually respected the shopkeeper. They worked in the shop and knew the business best. The business had improved a little and even started to make a profit, but then it was suppressed by the competition from the same industry. The business that had just started to improve returned to its previous sluggish state, and even worse than before. With such a large loss, where did the shopkeeper embezzle the money? They felt sorry for the shopkeeper being scolded and scolded by a little girl, so when they heard the shopkeeper asked them to report to the police, they ran out immediately.

Shopkeeper Yu did not embezzle money. The business of the shop was good, and both the shop assistants and people from the surrounding shops could testify to it. In the end, the result of the government investigation was naturally that Shopkeeper Yu was innocent.

Finally her innocence was proven, and Shopkeeper Yu was so excited that he almost burst into tears. However, Chen Li could not accept it. She even felt that the government was bribed by Shopkeeper Yu, so they spoke on his side. She kept expressing her dissatisfaction, which made the official a little annoyed. If it were not for Liu Xiu, they would not dare to offend Chen Li too much. They would have given her a few beatings and kicked Chen Li out of the government office impatiently.

Shopkeeper Yu originally wanted to seek justice from Chen Li, but seeing the attitude of the government, he had no choice but to leave. However, the situation was not too bad at least, as the government at least restored his innocent reputation.

After Liu Xiu got the news, he took Chen Li over. He suppressed his annoyance and told Chen Li everything he had found out. Only then did Chen Li believe that the shop had really lost so much money. She felt a little frustrated, but when she thought of her previous attitude towards the shopkeeper, she felt a little guilty. She wanted to apologize to Shopkeeper Yu and make some compensation to show her loyalty to him. However, when she arrived at the shop, Shopkeeper Yu had already packed up and left.

"He actually left. This is so irresponsible without even saying goodbye." While Chen Li was surprised, she also felt that Manager Yu was too irritable and too narrow-minded. She just misunderstood her. It would be fine if she talked it out. She was Manager Yu's breadwinner. Manager Yu took her salary. Even if he suffered a little grievance, so what? She was often scolded by her superiors before, and she couldn't even find an excuse.

But if the shopkeeper leaves, let him leave. As long as you have money, there is no need to worry about not being able to hire talented people. And if he runs the shop like this, he is just a mediocre person and is not good enough. Thinking this way, Chen Li didn't care much about the shopkeeper's stay or departure.

When the guy heard what Chen Li said, he quickly lowered his head, and where no one could see, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
