Chapter 132 Canned Food
Lin Zhou's family has always been in the building materials business. He has never been involved in factory work and does not understand what Tian Xin said.
But he studied business administration in college, so he had some knowledge of accounting, finance, and measurement. The trick Tian Xin was referring to was probably the notes Zhang Feng had marked. Intuitively, there was definitely something wrong with what Zhang Feng was doing; it just depended on where the problem lay.
"So you think there's a problem too?" Tian Xin reached out and grabbed another handful of nuts from the plate, chewing them as she thought. This was her habit, a habit she'd had since her rebirth.
Seeing that she only ate pistachios, Lin Zhou called the waiter for another plate and handed it to her: "According to what you said, these outsourced vehicles are relatives of internal staff. There is a possibility of something fishy going on. It depends on how big the scam is."
As he spoke, he did not forget to add water to Tian Xin's teacup. He also paid attention to her thinking movements. Seeing her frown slightly, he continued: "Actually, as you said, the measurement methods for outsourced vehicles and internal vehicles are different. This already explains the problem!"
Tian Xin knew what he was talking about. In her previous life, she had also been involved in business and knew what bills meant. They served two purposes: paying taxes and settling accounts.
But no matter which of these two has a problem, it will be discovered soon and will not be hidden for so long!
Tian Xin pushed the pistachios over and took a sip of tea. Seeing Lin Zhou's confusion, she glanced at the nuts on the plate and smiled: "Eating too much will make you get angry. I just like chewing when I think about things, not because I'm greedy!"
"Oh!" Lin Zhou laughed, "I thought you liked this!"
"No, keep talking!"
Lin Zhou didn't rush to speak. He took the menu and asked her: "How about some fruit? What do you like? I remember when I was in college..."
"orange!"
How come this guy knows everything? He has almost dug up everything that happened in college. I think Gao Wen must have contributed to this.
"Orange?" Lin Zhou frowned slightly: Could it be... that I remembered it wrong?
But he didn't hesitate and immediately called the waiter to bring the oranges.
With the oranges, she completely relaxed, peeled one casually, and threw the peel into the teacup.
"Keep talking!"
When Lin Zhou saw her soaking orange peels, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he smiled and said, "These peels are not clean. If you like soaking in water, I'll buy some clean ones later!"
Well……
"Don't worry about this, let's talk business!" She drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, poured the orange peel that had just been soaked into the slag tray beside her, and picked up another orange to chew.
Seeing her smooth and effortless operation, Lin Zhou smiled and refilled her tea. He then continued, "According to conventional procedures, this bill can be used in two ways..."
"Tax and settlement!" Tian Xin said first: "I know this!"
"Okay, let's talk about taxes first!" Lin Zhou walked over and sat next to her, picking up a list and gesturing, "Generally speaking, if a truck leaves the factory, it has to pass through a checkpoint. If I remember correctly, it's the metering station!"
"Yes!" Tian Xin replied, "We need to pass the metering station!"
"That means if the truck doesn't go to the metering station after leaving the factory, but instead takes the goods somewhere else and sells them, the revenue will go into the truck driver's own pocket!"
"That's impossible!" Tian Xin turned to Lin Zhou and gestured in the air, "There's only one way for a truck to leave the factory. Either go west to the county or east to the quarry. If he drives the loaded truck east, he'll be discovered before he even reaches the quarry. Plus, there's a driving record on the truck, so it's impossible for him not to be discovered!"
"Hmm!" Lin Zhou understood immediately: "That means that trucks carrying goods must pass through the metering station before they can go to the county to settle accounts."
"Yes! The metering station is at most 5 kilometers away from the factory. Every truck going from the factory to the county will pass by it. There's no way around it!"
"There's no way around it..." Lin Zhou thought for a moment: "That means there's no problem with paying taxes!"
"Yes!" Tian Xin stuffed the last slice of orange into her mouth, then tore off a piece of orange peel and prepared to throw it into the teacup.
Just as her hand approached the teacup, she remembered that Lin Zhou might mind, so she paused. After a second, she turned around and threw the orange peel into the slag tray.
Seeing her trying to soak orange peels and then throwing them away, Lin Zhou was really curious and asked, "Do you like soaking orange peels in your tea?"
"Uh...no, I just like the taste. I'm used to it and I can't change it for the time being!" She smiled awkwardly.
"Then...why soak orange peels instead of oranges?"
Why? How do you say this?
Tian Xin lowered her head and thought, he probably wouldn’t understand even if she told him!
“Did you eat canned food as a child?” she asked.
"Canned food?" Lin Zhou was puzzled. "I've eaten it before! What's wrong?"
“When I was a kid, I drank orange peel water like canned sugar water!”
Tian Xin smiled and fiddled with the orange peel in her hand: "This tastes very similar to canned food. If you add some sugar, it will be even more similar."
She spoke easily and without any embarrassment or awkwardness.
"You've definitely never done that, have you?" She peeled another orange, shredded a segment, dropped it into the teacup, and brought it to her nose to sniff: "This has no smell, it doesn't look like it!"
"Really?" Lin Zhou imitated her, peeled a piece of orange peel, threw it into the teacup, and picked it up to smell it: "It is a bit similar!"
He acted extremely calmly, as if he was playing a game. However, when he picked up the cup, his thoughts were exposed: his hands were shaking!
Tian Xin saw the look in his eyes when he smelled the orange juice. They were only a foot apart, the scent of mint still lingering around her. She could sense his caution, but not his heartache.
"What kind of canned food do you like? Orange flavored?" he asked.
"ah?"
"I like to eat it too!" Lin Zhou said with a smile: "Please sit down for a while, I will be back soon!
Without waiting for Tian Xin to react, he got up and left the teahouse.
Before Tian Xin could ask "Where are you going", the person had already disappeared from the door.
Forget it, let him be!
She sat on the chair and played with the orange peels. The plate of oranges on the table had been almost eaten up by her!
Lin Zhou had been out for a long time and had not returned. The tea had gone cold and she could not drink it, so she walked to the coffee table and looked at the word "静" written by Lin Zhou again.
quiet!
Calm down!
He is calm, reserved, gentle, and steady. He sees things with precision and acts decisively.
He said: Once you have seen the ocean, you will never be satisfied with the water...
"What are you looking at?"
As she was thinking, Lin Zhou's voice came from above her head. When she looked up, he was looking at her gently.
"Oh," she stood up in a panic: "Where have you been?"
"I bought some canned food. Take a look and see which flavor you like?" Lin Zhou pointed to the tea table.
She looked over and saw that there were indeed several cans of different sizes and flavors on the table, so she followed him over.
"Snow pear, yellow peach, hawthorn, orange, lychee, and even lychee flavor?" Tian Xin said excitedly, "I haven't eaten this in years, and now there's this flavor!"
Lin Zhou opened the lychee flavor bottle and handed her a spoon: "Try it!"
