Zhou Ying opened the booklet and glanced at it. It was indeed the most primitive method of bookkeeping. Fortunately, income and expenditure were separated.

Moreover, there were daily, monthly, and annual settlements. Overall, it was quite good.

Then, she found the most densely packed page and carefully checked the words on it. After making sure there were no mistakes, she asked, “Have you been to school?”

“No, but my mother can read, so I learned a little from her.

“When I was practicing martial arts with my uncle, I learned from the accountant in the residence. That was how I also learned how to keep accounts.”

“I’ve heard about what happened at the manor.” Zhou Ying nodded.

“However, since Xiao Fang has already started in his role, it’s impossible to change now.

“But, we don’t want to see talent buried.

“I also have a small shop in South City that is about 100 square meters. I plan to start a food business. Do you think you are qualified if I let you manage it?”

Lai Xi’s face lit up when he heard that, but he quickly shook his head and said, “But I don’t know how to cook.”

“You don’t need to know that. You’re just in charge of the management.

“When the time comes, I’ll send you one or two chefs with two waiters.

“Managing a shop was even more difficult than managing a manor. Not only do you need to manage the shop well, but you also need to manage the outsider relationships.

“Especially with the neighbors.

“Next to the shop is a big carriage shop with many merchants inside. You have to build a good relationship with them.”

After hearing this, Lai Xi suddenly felt uncertain.

To be honest, he was able to manage the manor because he had been in contact with it since he was young, so he already understood the way things worked.

However, he knew nothing about running a shop.

He also knew that it was not easy to maintain a restaurant. He would encounter all kinds of customers and was afraid that he would be unable to handle them.

Zhou Ying returned the account book to him, saying, “Go back and think about it. Give me an answer by noon tomorrow at the latest.

“But you must remember, regardless of whether you agree or not, you are not allowed to go against Xiao Fang in the future.”

“I understand. Thank you for your appreciation, Mistress.” Lai Xi nodded repeatedly. After saying that, he put away the account book and returned to work.

“This kid can’t do it; he’s a bit of a stickler for rules. If we really want him to manage the shop, I’m afraid we’ll have to train him well.” Gu Chengrui quipped.

“There are pros and cons. Although he lacks some drive, it’s relatively safe to use such a person.”

“Okay, do as you see fit. I’m only giving my opinions on this and won’t participate in the management.” Gu Chengrui nodded and went to look for Chen He.

“I think you just can’t be bothered.” Zhou Ying stood up and glared at him. She turned around and went home with Er Zhuang.

In the afternoon, Gu Chengrui invited Chen He over for a meal.

Afterward, the couple brought Er Zhuang to the new manor.

The new manor had undergone a massive renovation. It had changed from a messy and desolate place to a neat and tidy one.

In addition, the saplings had already sprouted, painting the place green. They believed it would be even more beautiful in a few days.

They had just entered the vegetable field when Head Fang ran over. “Master, Mistress, you’re back so soon?”

“We didn’t manage to return to our hometown and had to turn back halfway. Oh right, do you need more seedlings?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“Nope, it’s all growing well.” Head Fang pointed at some spinach and said, “Look at this spinach. There are quite a number of them, but they’re thin and weak. What we lack is fertilizer..”
