When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 14 The shopkeeper who relied on his seniority was pressed to the ground and rubbed
"Young Master, when did you come? Why didn't you inform us?"

Gu Hua curled his lips and smiled faintly.

Was it because her posture of traveling through time was wrong?

It is said that people in ancient times respected hierarchy, but how come everyone here can question her as the boss? Is it because the original owner was too incompetent and gave them too much face?

"Cousin, where are these account books?"

Gu Chen, who followed Mu Feng to invite several shopkeepers from Guangning County, was followed by ten people, carrying in five boxes containing account books.

Gu Hua was sitting in the main seat in the main hall at the backyard of the shop at this time, and Su Fuying was allowed to sit at the left hand position to her. Ma Cunde was dissatisfied with Gu Hua giving the left hand seat, which was second only to the main seat, to a manager who was younger and less experienced than him.

He hesitated for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his lower right hand was snatched away by Manager Liu from Gu's Yumingxuan Tea House.

The others had to take their seats in order.

"Bring it in and put it here. Tell someone to go outside and find a few tables and bring them in so that Master Chen and his men can check the accounts in front of the shopkeepers. If there's anything unclear, you can ask them."

There are three cloth shops, two tea houses, and this relatively large transit grocery store in Guangning County, with a total of five shopkeepers. They all trembled in their hearts at what Gu Hua said.

This was to check their accounts in person. The familiar scene before his eyes seemed to overlap with the time when Mr. Gu inspected the store accounts three years ago.

"Did no one inform us to come and check the accounts?!!"

"The account books you sent before the New Year." Gu Hua sneered, "Looks like the accounts are clear, but in fact the incoming and outgoing goods don't match at all.

I, the young master, have a kind heart, so I am here with my people to personally settle the accounts with you."

Gu Hua said that they made up those false accounts to fool the original owner. Xiaobai, who only learned business theory from his father and has not yet been able to stand on his own feet and whose parents passed away, is almost the same.

If you want to deceive her, a graduate student who majored in accounting in a prestigious university before the end of the world, you are still a little lacking.

She was born with a keen sense for numbers, and she was able to spot the hidden flaws in the account books they sent her before the New Year when she was preparing before coming.

Seeing that the five or six accountants brought by Gu Hua really started to check the accounts, some people panicked.

"Young Master, you can't just talk nonsense and wrongly accuse us!"

"Yes, yes."

"We have been the old shopkeepers of the Gu family for many years. Young Master, you can't treat us like this."

Several shopkeepers cried out for injustice at the same time.

Gu Hua was prepared, "Mu Xue, go to the carriage I'm riding in and bring the box with number one on it."

"Yes, master." Mu Xue didn't know why, but this time when she followed her master out to do things, she felt like she had endless energy.

The previous master was somewhat soft-hearted and felt that she was being manipulated everywhere. Even the subordinates always felt a lack of confidence when working for her.

Mu Xue came in carrying a square mahogany box. "Master, is this the box?"

"Yes." Gu Hua waved his hand. "Here are the account books that your shops sent in last year. Anyone who feels they have been wronged can open them and take a look."

Facing Gu Hua's calm and composed eyes, several shopkeepers felt as if they were seen through and became afraid.

However, they still managed to find their shop's account book from the box. When they opened it, they saw that the false accounts in the account book where they had carefully created losses were circled one by one with red cinnabar ink. Among them, Wang, the shopkeeper of Gu's Jinxiu Cloth Shop, had poor psychological quality. Looking at the false accounts drawn one by one, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hand shook and the account book fell to the ground.

"Oh!" Gu Hua glanced at it and said without laughing, "I spent 120 taels of silver to buy a piece of Jiangnan brocade, but in the end, the account book showed that I only got 100 taels of silver when I sold it, and I lost 20 taels of silver.

I just want to ask, people often say that buying is not as good as selling, how did you buy one hundred and twenty taels of silver per horse and sell it for only one hundred taels?"

Letting go of the shopkeeper Wang of Jinxiu Cloth Shop, whose body was shaking like a sieve, Gu Hua looked at the other shopkeepers who were pretending to be calm and glanced at their trembling hands that were tightly holding the account books.

He continued to shout at the two tea shop owners, "The two shop owners are no less capable than you. They can sell the Biyun tea they bought at three taels of silver per catty at a loss of two taels.

I bought the purple bamboo shoot tea at five taels of silver per catty, and sold it for two taels of silver, and as the young master, I really want to thank you."

Gu Hua was so angry that he laughed.

She just wanted to know what was wrong with the original owner's brain. She didn't believe that there were such obvious flaws in the account book. She wondered whether the original owner, who had learned business from her father since she was a child, really didn't see it, or whether she had other reasons and didn't want to pursue these shopkeepers.

However, the original owner's soul has already left this body to reincarnate, and there is no memory of why the original owner indulged these shopkeepers.

However, what the original owner thought is not so important at this time.

"It is common for a young master to make profits and losses in business. How can you put all the blame on the shopkeepers?"

Ma Cunde jumped out unconvinced and accused.

Gu Hua smiled. This was referring to other people, not him.

“Guangning County Tongtong Grocery Store belongs to the head office of our Gujia Grocery Store. All the goods from grocery stores in other counties are shipped from here.

Therefore, last year's total purchase account was 88,605 taels of silver, and the return on investment was 63,200 taels of silver, resulting in a loss of 25,402 taels of silver."

"Shopkeeper Ma, won't you explain?"

Ma Cunde didn't expect that the fire would burn him. He glared at Gu Hua, who was looking at him leisurely, with gloomy and annoyed eyes. He couldn't believe the aggressive Gu Hua in front of him.

He was the young master who would be let off by her if they had just mentioned a few words to him that he was an old man who had worked with Gu's father to support the Gu family business and had gone through hardships.

“What’s there to explain? We are the old people who followed our old boss through thick and thin and helped build the Gu family business.

It's just a loss of money. Your father died, and the young master treated us like this. It's really disheartening."

"That's right! We are the old shopkeepers who have watched the Gu family grow. Even if we have no credit, we have worked hard. Young Master, you can't be an ungrateful person."

Su Fuying and Gu Chen looked at these shopkeepers who were taking advantage of their seniority and looked at Gu Hua worriedly, hoping that she would not raise her hand high again this time and put it down gently, turning the annual shop inspection into a joke.

"Oh, you have done a great job." Gu Hua's face showed no emotion, and his voice remained calm: "If I pursue this further, I would be ungrateful."

Ma Cunde and several other shopkeepers smiled with satisfaction when they heard what Gu Hua said, and looked at her as if she was a teachable child.

However, Gu Hua's next words made their expressions change again.

"Then you are ungrateful." Gu Hua: "Mu Feng will report to the police and say that someone in the shop falsified the accounts and embezzled our Gu family's property."
