Li Xiaoran was very happy that six bookkeepers were chosen.
If these six people had good personalities, she would be happy to let them stay.
However, all of this depended on their luck.
Li Xiaoran asked someone to invite these six bookkeepers to the shop on the food street that was preparing to do mutton soup business.
Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “Ruyue, I suddenly remembered that we should open an entertainment place or teahouse nearby! Otherwise, we’ll have to find a place to choose these people!”
Open a teahouse? Shu Ruyue thought of something and her eyes lit up.
“I think it’s possible! Look, Old Madam Jin has nothing to do every day, so she wanders around! Why don’t you let Granny Jin buy another piece of land by the official road and open a teahouse? In the future, you’ll have to find a place to meet others! I remember that Old Madam Jin is very passionate about tea!” If Shu Ruyue hadn’t mentioned it, Li Xiaoran wouldn’t have thought of this.
Other than stinky tofu and snail noodles, Granny Jin also liked tea.
It was unknown where Granny Jin got the news, but she actually bought a nearby tea mountain.
Autumn tea was about to be made this season, so Old Madam Jin was so busy that she was barely seen all day long.
“I’ll ask Granny Jin about this! Finding something for her to do is a good thing! With this teahouse, old people will have a good place to go in the future! The old people can sit together and talk while listening to operas and drinking tea. It’ll save a lot of trouble!” Li Xiaoran suddenly had a good idea.
Shu Ruyue nodded and said, “Speaking of which, there are many elders in your village. Some people interfere in their sons and daughters-in -law’s matters all day long and cause chaos! Some are despised by their children. When the time comes, we can find a place to gather the elders and let them accompany each other. That way, we can reduce many family conflicts!”
Li Xiaoran secretly remembered this and planned to ask Granny Jin after she finished choosing people.
Soon, the six bookkeepers were brought to the shop.
The tables and chairs were ready-made, so Li Xiaoran invited the six bookkeepers to sit down.
Li Xiaoran didn’t waste time. She distributed an account book to each of them and began to let them calculate.
Every account book contained a trap set up by Li Xiaoran and she wanted to see if the six bookkeepers would discover it.
As for Li Xiaoran, she made herself a cup of tea and closed her eyes to rest.
She seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, but she was actually trying her best to sense these people’s emotions.
During this period, many different voices were heard outside the shop. There were even people causing trouble and fighting outside.
The six bookkeepers were more or less affected.
Under such circumstances, Li Xiaoran felt their emotions and heard their thoughts.
In less than two hours, the six bookkeepers handed over the accounting records one after another.
After Li Xiaoran read them carefully, she finally revealed a satisfied expression.
“The six of you are very capable. You’ve found the problems in these accounts and marked them very clearly.”
When the six of them heard Li Xiaoran’s words, their faces immediately lit up.
“The six of you have passed this round. Next, I want to ask you why you came to our place to become bookkeepers?” Li Xiaoran asked.
As soon as she said this, all six of them revealed their motives.
Among them, a middle-aged man hesitated before finally making a decision.
“I have nowhere to go! Because I found out about the fake account book made by my boss’ brother-in-law, he took revenge on me. Now, no one dares to use me anymore!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she nodded. “Alright, thank you for telling me the truth! Wait a moment, I’ll listen to the other people’s reasons as well!” The middle-aged man nodded and said nothing else.
With someone taking the lead, the others spoke one after another.
The second person to speak was a young man.
“I think I’m capable enough to go out on my own, but my mentor isn’t willing to let me do anything! I’ve been suppressed by my mentor and have no way out, so when I heard that Luo Cheng wants to hire bookkeepers, I came!” Li Xiaoran nodded and looked at the others.
Some people said that they were here for a better future, some said that they were here because the salary was high, and one said that she wanted to come home to accompany her family.
Only one of the six remained silent.
Li Xiaoran looked at this person and wondered why she was silent.
At that moment, the person spoke.
Unexpectedly, the other party spoke in a clear female voice.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
“Actually, you don’t have to hide your identity as a woman! Here, regardless of gender, as long as you’re a capable person, we’ll put you in an important position!”
As soon as she said this, the woman took off her hat and men’s clothing.
At this moment, the other party’s slender figure was revealed.
Li Xiaoran looked at the other party as she praised, “I’ve seen your account book. You’re fast and accurate. Not bad!”
The woman was a little surprised. “How do you know I’m fast and accurate? I wasn’t the first one to submit it!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she laughed.
“You weren’t the first to submit it, but you were the first to finish accounting! It’s just that in order not to attract too much attention, you dawdled until the fourth person submitted the account book! I said that as long as you’re a capable person, we won’t let your talent go to waste! Congratulations, you’ve already been hired by us! I hope you can display your strength in the future and do your job well!”
When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she was very surprised. Then, her eyes turned red.
“Thank you. I’ll do my best!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled and said, “Zi Zheng, bring this girl to the courtyard at the back!”
Zi Zheng nodded and gestured for the woman to leave with him.
After the female bookkeeper left, Li Xiaoran looked at the remaining five people.
“One of the five of you hasn’t been chosen. Why don’t you all guess who’s the one leaving?”
As soon as she said this, some were happy, while others were anxious.
Many people felt that they were chosen.. Of course, there were also people who were secretly worried and felt that they were the disqualified one who had to leave!
