Seeing Wei Gang’s reaction, Li Lin was afraid that Wei Gang wouldn’t buy her any more clothes, so she quickly said, “Yanyan, you don’t know this, but your mother looks after the shop, so the shop owner must have told her the lowest price for this dress.”

“The clothes in this shop don’t belong to you guys anyway. Even if you sell them cheaper, you won’t earn less. I’m your biological aunt. You can’t scam me.”

When Wei Gang heard this, he looked thoughtful. Then, he said, “Take out the most expensive clothes in your shop. Sell them to me at the lowest price. Don’t worry about the rest.”

Li Lin was very happy to hear this. She thought that Wei Gang were buying them for her.

However, Wei Yan didn’t think so. She knew Wei Gang very well. Although he was willing to spend money on Li Lin, Wei Gang had always valued personal benefits the most.

Wei Yan believed that Wei Gang was willing to buy Li Lin a piece of clothing, but definitely didn’t believe that he would buy so many pieces for her. The likeliest possibility was that Wei Gang wanted to buy clothes from this shop at a low price and sell them at a high price to pocket the difference.

Wei Yan sneered inside. Her father wasn’t good at anything else, but he had many shady ideas about earning dirty money.

It seemed that she had to kindly remind her father.

Wei Yan pointed at the shop and asked Wei Gang, “Dad, what do you think of this shop?”

Wei Gang didn’t know why Wei Yan was asking this, so he said directly, “This shop is very well decorated, and the clothes inside are beautiful. What’s wrong?”

When Wei Yan heard this, she pretended to be worried and sighed. “Dad, although this boss said that we can lower the price appropriately, the boss is very shrewd. She wants us to report the accounts every day. If we sell a few expensive clothes at the lowest price at the same time, the boss will definitely be suspicious.”

“When the time comes, not only will Mom be unable to work in this shop, but the boss might even hold us legally responsible.”

“It’s fine for Mom and I to suffer a little, since Mom doesn’t earn much in this shop anyway. However, the shop owner said that the clothes in the shop are beautiful to begin with, and the decorations are good, so anyone who comes here to look after the shop will be able to sell the clothes. Mom only gets paid 200 yuan a month.”

“But if Mom sells the clothes to you at the lowest price, the boss will lose a few hundred yuan. At that time, not only will he not give Mom her salary, but he will probably have to ask our family for money.”

“Dad, if word gets out, it will affect your job. What will others think of you?”

Wei Gang valued his reputation very much, so when he heard Wei Yan’s words, he immediately hesitated.

“If she checks the accounts or something, can’t you cook the books?” Wei Gang said matter-of-factly.

Wei Yan pretended to be shocked and said, “Dad, it’s illegal to cook the books. Moreover, even if the account book records how much money was earned, the money has to be given to the boss. If the numbers don’t match up, the boss will ask us for money.”

Wei Gang waved her hand nonchalantly. “That’s nothing. Just don’t write down that you sold the expensive clothes today. Randomly fill in something else first. That way, you won’t have to give the boss so much money.”

“You just have to remember which expensive clothes were given to me and slowly supplement the money every day.”

Wei Gang seemed very familiar with the process, as if he had done this many times.

Wei Yan immediately said very seriously, “Dad, this is a serious violation of the law and is very immoral. How can Mom and I do this? Dad, you’re the leader of the factory. You can’t have such thoughts.”

Wei Gang felt humiliated by Wei Yan’s words. As her father, he had taught his daughter a lesson, but his daughter actually dared to refute him.

Just as Wei Gang was about to scold her, a female voice sounded behind him.

“Wei Gang? Why are you here? You were teaching Li Hai how to cook the books just now? Why do you seem so familiar with the process? Could it be that you also cooked the books in the factory?”

After Wei Gang turned around and saw who it was, his expression instantly changed.

This person was the factory manager’s wife, Song Jin.
