Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Chapter 195 Report from Guoxuefu

Shen Ningning felt like a warm current passed through her heart. She blinked her beautiful big eyes and said seriously: "Thank you."

She stretched out her little hand to take the key and account book, and asked curiously: "But you invested so much money, and I am the boss, what do you do?"

 Lu Shaoyuan immediately patted his chest proudly: "I will be the second boss."

 Wu'er and the refugees took the lead in shouting: "Hello, the big boss, the second boss!"

Shen Ningning led everyone into the shop and opened the account book to see where the expenses were spent.

 However, upon seeing this, the little guy furrowed his cute eyebrows and confusion appeared on his chubby face.

"Lu Shaoyuan, why don't you write anything in this account book? Write down how much money you invested in the early stage. Otherwise, how will we divide the accounts?"

Lu Shaoyuan smiled and coughed lightly: "It's too troublesome, just think of it as a gift from me."

"No," Shen Ningning immediately asked someone to bring a writing brush: "The adults said that brothers must also settle their accounts clearly, and we must write them clearly."

"When your mother asks about it someday, you can explain it easily and let her know that you are really doing something and not just fooling around." The little guy said and started writing seriously.

“How much did it cost to renovate?” Shen Ningning asked.

 “Not much, four hundred taels.” Lu Shaoyuan answered honestly.

So, the little guy asked and Lu Shaoyuan answered. After a while, he finally calculated the general ledger.

Shen Ningning looked at the numbers on the account and widened her crystal black eyes.

“One hundred taels? Why is it less than just now?” Wuer was shocked.

 A refugee aunt patted him gently: "Look carefully, it's one thousand taels."

"One thousand taels, this, when will our lady go?" Some people were worried, and everyone looked at each other.

Lu Shaoyuan looked at Shen Ningning's porcelain face. She didn't speak, her long eyelashes drooped in deep thought, as if she was seriously settling accounts in her mind.

He couldn't help but said: "I don't want you to give me anything back at all, so when I renovate this place, I always choose the best things."

 Including the courtyard at the back, he expanded it and made it into three-person rooms to accommodate these refugees.

Shen Ningning calculated for a long time, but because there were too many numbers involved, the little guy's head became big.

 She could only use a brush to write down on paper and calculate at the same time.

Lu Shaoyuan found it difficult and said, "You really don't have to pay it back to me. The worst thing is, you can give me all your income for the first month after opening, right?"

But Shen Ningning said resolutely: "No, until I figure it out clearly, there can be no confusion."

 At this time, a tall and thin man stood up.

"Miss, I...I know how to use an abacus, do you want me to try it?"

Shen Ningning looked up at him. The man was one of the refugees she rescued. Everyone called him Uncle Zhong.

Looking like he is over forty years old, his cheeks were so thin that they were sunken at first. It was only after following Shen Ningning that he had something to eat, which made him feel better.

"Uncle Zhong, you actually know how to calculate an abacus?" Arithmetic is a job that can only be learned by accountants of wealthy families.

Uncle Zhong nodded implicitly: "I used to live in Jiangnan and worked as an accountant for a wealthy businessman."

Lu Shaoyuan was very happy and immediately waved: "Come here, bring him an abacus."

Uncle Zhong immediately said: "Please give me two, my second boss. This will make the calculation faster."

Lu Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

When the entourage brought two abacus, the moment Uncle Zhong touched the beads, Shen Ningning felt that his submissive temperament was gone.

 Instead, there is a calm and calm demeanor.

I saw Uncle Zhong doing calculations with his left and right hands at the same time, flipping the beads with his fingertips very fast, and mumbling words while doing calculations.

 Everyone was very surprised when they saw it.

 After a while, Uncle Zhong finished the calculation, picked up his pen, and wrote down the incoming and outgoing items of various expenses on the rice paper. "The big owner and the second owner, if we calculate the profits based on the purchase cost of 1,000 taels, the best price for the things we sell is between 2 and 4 taels."

He even talked about various expenses such as store maintenance. Not counting the money invested, the additional daily expenses on the store will cost five taels.

 Uncle Zhong suggested selling something inexpensive, with small profits but quick turnover, and a stable return on capital. It is expected that the capital will be earned back within half a year.

  Shen Ningning listened to so many of his professional suggestions, her mouth widened, and she was amazed.

“Uncle Zhong, you are so awesome,” Wuer’s eyes widened in admiration: “You are so capable, why did you beg with us before? If you go to the city to find something to do, many people will definitely be rushing to get you!”

Lu Shaoyuan also said: "Compared to the five accountants raised by my grandfather's family, it is not bad."

Uncle Zhong put down his calculations and his smile became timid again: "I got sick on the road and was abandoned by my master. I don't have any identity documents, so naturally I can't enter the city."

Shen Ningning looked at the account he calculated seriously.

The little guy pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "This time, we will sell hot sweet water at the same price of one or two for a large bowl."

 Considering that the weather is getting colder, the previous water with rock sugar is no longer suitable.

 If you want to make money, you must change. In the future, you can’t just sell sweet water, but also add other products.

 No one has any opinions.

She began to assign everyone's responsibilities. Several young aunts worked in the kitchen as logistics, and the strong and tall men worked as guards in the shop.

 The remaining young and smart-looking men were arranged by Shen Ningning to serve as waiters.

The accountant is Uncle Zhong, and Wu'er is assigned to him as his assistant.

As for the management of the entire shop, Shen Ningning chose a steady woman, and everyone called her Yun Po.

 After everything was discussed, an auspicious date was set and we waited for the opening.

  Shen Ningning has more important things to do recently.

 She is going to report to the Chinese Academy of Sciences soon.

 The little guy told the crazy scholar the good news before, and he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night.

Stayed up late and wrote a whole study note for Shen Ningning, telling her to study hard even when she went to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies.

 At the end of October, in the rustling autumn wind, Shen Ningning was sent to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies by Mo Lingwei.

"Brother, there is actually no need for you to come and see me off. I will report it myself." Shen Ningning said to Mo Lingwei.

Outside the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there were already cars and horses like a dragon. When everyone saw the prince driving, their eyes were filled with inquiring curiosity.

 When Mo Lingwei came down holding Shen Ningning's little hand, realization flashed in their eyes.

I have long heard that Princess Funing has a very good relationship with His Royal Highness, and now it turns out to be true.

“Today is your first day at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so of course I’m going to see you off.” Mo Lingwei glanced at the others.

He asked again: "Should I send you in? If I give you a few extra words of care, they will treat you with more respect."

Shen Ningning quickly waved her little hand: "No, brother, you go back, I will get to know the new classmates by myself."

Mo Lingwei nodded slightly, then got into the carriage and left.

Just after he left, Shen Ningning was about to enter the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies when she heard the clatter of horse hooves coming from far away.

"Ning Ning." Xie Mingxu sat high on his horse and stopped in front of her.

Shen Ningning suddenly smiled brightly: "Brother, why are you here?"

Xie Mingxu got off the horse and said, "I came here specially to visit you. By the way, I will bring you the things that my father asked me to bring you."

I had insomnia the first day and couldn’t fall asleep until five in the morning. I felt like a wandering spirit for the past two days, and my mind felt empty...
