It was not until lunchtime when Chi Fangping called Ji Ling that she looked up from her work.
I looked at my phone and realized it was noon.
"Xiaoling, let's eat first. There are so many bills, and it will take more than a short time to finish. Zhu Weidong and I promised to take good care of you. When he comes back and sees that you are hungry and thin, he will come to settle the bill with me."
Ji Ling smiled and said, "Accountant Chi, I know you are a kind-hearted person. I want to find a chance to make amends to Zhu Weidong because he stepped forward to help you with your family's problems. When we are together, you don't have to think about these things, and don't mention Zhu Weidong all the time. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
Chi Fangping smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it. Let's go eat."
Seeing that she was tactful and didn't push her any further, Ji Ling didn't say anything more.
When she got to the cafeteria to get her meal, Ji Ling saw that there was braised pork on her side. Before she could ask, Master Wang explained it with a smile.
"This is what the higher-ups have told us. After you come here, you must have one meat and one vegetable for every meal. We won't let you down."
"Master Wang, there's no need to make it special. I'll just eat the same as everyone else." Ji Ling said, "I just found out about it today, and I ate it. If it's still like this tonight, I won't eat it even if you make it."
Seeing that Ji Ling was humble and approachable, Master Wang agreed with a smile.
Most people would feel proud if faced with such a situation, but Engineer Zhu’s wife is young, low-key, and more importantly, capable.
There are so many people in the accounting department, but when there is a problem with the accounts, the bureau personally came forward to invite Engineer Zhu's wife over, which shows how capable he is.
Otherwise, the higher-ups shouldn't be so careless about such a big matter.
Ji Ling got her meal and went back to the dormitory. She had some time to rest at noon. After hearing Chi Fangping's report on the problem with the accounts, she roughly knew where the problem lay. She just needed to look at the accounts again to confirm it. If it was really what she thought, then it would be easy to deal with.
So even though she was busy for the whole morning, Ji Ling felt relieved because she had found the problem.
When she returned to the dormitory, Ji Ling was not very hungry. She put down her lunch box and lay down on the kang.
Perhaps it had been a while since she had been so serious, Ji Ling felt a little tired.
But she was surprised not to see Gu Baoshan, and as she was busy with work in the morning, she did not ask much.
Ji Ling suddenly had some free time and thought of this.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Ji Ling sat up and asked, "Who is it?"
"Xiaoling, it's me." Gu Baoshan's voice rang out.
Ji Ling said, "Senior Gu, come in."
When someone came in, she smiled and said, "Just now I was wondering why I didn't see Senior Gu this morning. He really doesn't need to be talked about, and here you are."
Gu Baoshan smiled, "I just heard from my colleagues that you were sent by the bureau. Xiaoling, you kept it a secret. I didn't even hear you say it yesterday."
Ji Ling smiled, "I was too busy yesterday, so I thought we would meet at work today, so I didn't say much."
Ji Ling asked someone to sit down, "Why didn't you go to the office this morning? Are you feeling unwell, senior?"
Ji Ling suppressed the smile on her face.
"Gao Jing came a few days ago, and she left before I could tell you." Gu Baoshan explained this first. Seeing Ji Ling looking at him without saying anything, he opened his mouth and said, "Something happened yesterday, and she left early this morning."
Ji Ling had already known from Zhu Weidong that someone had come. Now when she heard that someone had left, her first thought was that she misunderstood that Gao Jing knew she had come, so she left in a hurry.
But when he heard Gu Baoshan say that something happened yesterday, he denied his idea.
She didn't ask curiously about anything. To be exact, she didn't want to hear anything related to Gao Jing.
But Gu Baoshan was quick-witted and said it all out directly.
Ji Ling opened her mouth and said, "Senior Gu, this is a matter between you and Gao Jing. I can't help you if you tell me this."
She really didn't understand why Gu Baoshan trusted her so much and told her that they had slept together.
"Xiaoling, I trust you, and I have to trouble you with this matter. Things have happened, and I have to take responsibility as a man, but Gao Jing is gone again. When you return to school, can you help me pay more attention to Gao Jing? You don't have to help in person, just call me if she has any problems." Gu Baoshan also knew that he was overdoing it. "Xiaoling, besides you, I don't know who else to ask for help. I know you and Gao Jing don't have a good relationship, and I can't tell outsiders about this. After others know about it, they will definitely talk about Gao Jing. If she doesn't want to marry me, then the rest of her life will be ruined."
Ji Ling is a person who is afraid of trouble, but it seems that other people's troubles always fall on her.
"Xiaoling, I'm leaving it to you." Gu Baoshan stood up and bowed deeply to Ji Ling.
How could Ji Ling accept such a great gift? She was already feeling depressed, and when she saw his actions, she felt annoyed.
There is an illusion that I am being forced to do things.
"Senior, I can't stand your bowing like this. I can't promise you what you entrusted to me. I can only promise that if I see anything wrong with Gao Jing, I will inform you. But you asked me to keep an eye on her all the time, and I can't do it." Ji Ling said bluntly, "I don't like Gao Jing. It really affects my mood to always stare at someone I don't like. I'm not free enough to make myself unhappy."
"Xiaoling, I understand. Just inform me once you know. You don't have to keep paying attention to her." Gu Baoshan also knew that he had made Ji Ling unhappy, but after thinking about it for the whole morning, he realized that apart from Ji Ling, there was really no one he could trust.
Jiang Yihang and the others have a very good relationship, but he knows that Gao Jing has always liked Jiang Yihang. If he entrusts this matter to Jiang Yihang, even if he doesn't tell him what happened between him and Gao Jing, Jiang Yihang is so smart that he will guess it.
Gu Baoshan said this tactfully and left.
Ji Ling had lost her appetite, but she had to work in the afternoon, so she ate a simple bite and went to the office.
After looking through some account books in the afternoon, Ji Ling already knew where the problem lay.
"The problem has been found. The wrong classification caused more and more confusion later." Ji Ling called everyone over and pointed out the several places she found. "Since the classification was wrong here, problems have already appeared later, but you did not take it seriously. You just sloppily stuffed it into a project like before, which made the accounts messy later."
Ji Ling pointed out where everyone was wrong, and then made a direct decision, "From here on, we will take out the projects that were misclassified and work on them separately."
"Then don't we have to redo all the previous accounts?" Han Zhonghe asked.
Ji Ling said, "The accounting issues cannot be dealt with carelessly. One wrong step will lead to many mistakes. Now there is no other way but to start over."
