Chapter 49 Reporting

On the verge of day, Xu Chen took a bath and washed up early. He wanted to go to Fulai Inn early today. If there is any problem with the inn account, it can be solved as soon as possible.

Because it was a little early, there were only a few workers in the inn. When the waiter of the inn saw Xu Chen, he came over with a smile: "Young Master Xu, is it so early?"

"Where is the shopkeeper Li?"

"Shopkeeper Li probably hasn't gotten up yet, and it will probably take half an hour to come to the inn."

Xu Chen touched his chin: "It's okay if he is not here. Take out the account book and I'll take a look."

The inn waiter was stunned, a little surprised and suspicious. You know, Xu Chen never took the initiative to ask for the account to be checked. Why did he come here so early this time and have to check the account? Could it be...

"The villain doesn't know where this account book is. Why don't the young master wait until Manager Li comes to check it?"

Xu Chen smiled: "It's okay, you don't know where you are, so I'll just look for it myself."

As he said that, Xu Chen walked around the waiter and walked towards the counter. The waiter couldn't help but feel nervous and hurriedly said, "Young Master, this is not very good..."

"You tell me what's wrong with it?" Xu Chen looked cold.

"This..." The waiter touched the cold sweat on his forehead. He scared Xu Chen's face. Seeing that he had no choice but to wink at another worker. When the other worker saw the waiter's eyes, he secretly walked out of the inn, as if he was going to find Manager Li.

Xu Chen naturally saw all this, but he didn't care.

After pursuing the counter for a while, the account book was found soon. The waiter stood beside him and dared not leave or speak to stop him.

Xu Chen opened the account book and looked carefully. Although he had never learned accounting, he could still understand such a simple accounting method in ancient times, but he really couldn't see some of the twists and turns in the account book.

At the place where Manager Li lives, the workers who sneaked out knocked on the door wildly and shouted: "Manager Li, Manager Li!"

Shopkeeper Li had just gotten up and had not washed up yet. When he heard someone knocking on the door outside the house, he had to call the concubine on the bed to get up and help him put on his clothes. Then he came out to open the door.

When he saw that it was a worker at Fulai Inn, he frowned and said, "What are you doing? Could it be that something happened in the inn early in the morning?"

"Nothing happened in the inn, it was Mr. Xu who came!" The worker spoke a little stuttered, and his words were a little ignorant.

"I'll come when I'm here. I'm so scared that I thought Mr. Xiao was here."

"No, it's Mr. Xu who came to check the accounts!"

Manager Li instantly stood up with his hair, and he pushed the worker: "Hurry, go back to the inn with me!"

God, I haven't changed the accounts a few days ago! Don't find out the problem for others!

After jogging all the way, Manager Li and the workers quickly returned to Fulai Inn. As soon as they entered Fulai Inn, they saw the counter. The waiter stood tremblingly in a row and waited, not daring to show his vigor. Xu Chen was in the counter, holding the account book in his hand, turning around every page, as if he was looking for something.

"Oh, why did Mr. Xu come so early?" Manager Li immediately smiled and leaned over.

Xu Chen looked carefully for a long time, but he didn't see any problems with the accounts, but there were some things that made him feel a little strange, but he couldn't tell it.

Seeing that Manager Li came, his face was about to fall on him, Xu Chen had to close the account book. He smiled and said, "I heard from the waiter that Manager Li is still resting. How dare I ask someone to disturb you?"

Manager Li smiled and asked carefully: "Mr. Xu, what's wrong with this account book?"

“There is no problem.”

Manager Li's heart was relieved not long after, and he instantly scared Xu Chen's words.

"But I will take this account book back and take a look for Master Xiao later. Is this okay?" Xu Chen smiled gently, clearly inquiring tone, but Xu Chen obviously looked like he could not resist. How dare Manager Li say the word "no" when he saw this.

Manager Li was a little panicked and dared not speak. His mind was running quickly, thinking about all solutions to see if he could solve this problem.

Suddenly, Manager Li smiled flatteringly and took out a purse from his arms. The purse was completely different from the previous small bag. It was obviously larger and more exquisitely made. He slowly stuffed the purse into Xu Chen's arms and said, "Young Master Xu, please do it conveniently, don't make it difficult for brothers to do it well?"

Xu Chen took it, weighed it for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but squint. Is this shopkeeper Li invested a lot? The weight is obviously five taels of silver?

Manager Li was bleeding in his heart at this time. The money bag was used by him. He had just found a small bag for Xu Chen before, stuffed two or three taels of silver by himself. This time he had to hand over the whole bag! I just hope Xu Chen could be proud of his hand.

Xu Chen smiled and took the money away, saying slowly: "I have received the money. There is no hurry to the account book. I will go to the second floor first. If you ask someone to get me something, I'm hungry."

When Manager Li heard this, he was immediately angry. Mr. Xu is trying to threaten me! Isn’t you giving me some way to live?

Seeing that Manager Li was so angry that he didn't dare to speak, Xu Chen shook his head and walked past him and went up the second floor.

"What should I do with Manager Li? This account book really cannot be brought back to the Xiao family!" The waiter was the first to panic.

After Xu Chen left, Manager Li's face turned cold. Xu Chen, Xu Chen, since you are doing the first day of the lunar calendar, don't blame me for being fifteen!

"It's okay, please keep him calm. I'll go to the Xiao family now." Manager Li said coldly.

"Shopkeeper Li, what are you going to do?" The waiter was a little confused.

"I'm going to report him to Xiao's family!"

"Can this work?" The waiter was puzzled, "Mr. Xu is a disciple of the Xiao family after all."

"So what if I am a guest? As long as I have sufficient reasons for reporting, I can take a few layers of his skin off!" Manager Li walked out of the inn and muttered to himself, Xu Chen, my money is not so easy to collect!

When the waiter saw that Manager Li had an idea, he became a little calmer, but he was still a little worried.

Xu Chen was having breakfast on the second floor while looking at the account book. He still felt that the account book was very strange, but he couldn't see the problem.

After breakfast, Xu Chen saw that Manager Li had not given up yet and begged him. Is this account book not a big problem?

Xu Chen walked downstairs and saw that Manager Li was not at the counter. He grabbed the waiter and asked, "Where is Manager Li?"

The waiter was a little panicked: "I don't know much about Manager Li."

"Is that right?" Xu Chen could see that the waiter was lying, but he didn't need to compete with a servant. Since Manager Li didn't give in, he had to really take the account book back.

"Young Master Xu." The waiter paused for a moment and asked slowly, "What is your relationship with Mr. Xiao?"

The waiter's expression was not right at all. Seeing that he had the possibility of being a fence-skinned man now, Xu Chen smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

"No, no. The villain just asks..." The waiter lowered his head.

"Mr. Xiao is my godfather."
