80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 318: People and people get stolen goods together
The hall was quiet; everyone was busy with their work.

Not wanting to bother her, Li Yingtang took out a book from her handbag to pass the time.

After flipping through less than five pages, Qin Xian called to her, "Tangtang, let's go."

"Okay." Li Yingtang put away her books and left with Qin Xian: "How did you make the incense you lit last night?"

Qin Xian: "We already had it at home."

Li Yingtang: "I really thought you did it all night."

Qin Xian laughed out loud, thinking that such speed was impossible.

She's almost certainly pregnant.

Hormonal changes during pregnancy have made my thinking slower. "Should I still go to the shop?"

"Go ahead. We need to settle the accounts. You should go to the store first." Li Yingtang was already worried about leaving money in the store, and the fact that three boxes of goods were inexplicably missing made her even more uneasy.

If three boxes are missing right under her nose, wouldn't the threat be even greater if they were in a place where she couldn't monitor them?
The two parted ways at the crossroads.

Li Yingtang returned to the shop, where only Ren Yuan and Ma Xiaoyan remained.

As soon as she entered, Xiao Ma said, "Boss, I've realized my mistake. Can I come to work tomorrow? Giving me three days off all of a sudden is hard to explain to my family."

Li Yingtang had calmed down, and since Xiao Ma's attitude in admitting his mistake was good, she decided to give him another chance. "Alright. One thing, don't think that just because there are few people here you can break the rules. Working here, my word is law. If I see you doing this again, you're fired."

This was the first time Xiao Ma had ever been so humiliated. His face drained of color, and he stammered, "I...I understand."

"Go home from get off work," Li Yingtang said.

Xiao Ma left with red eyes.

Li Yingtang used the key to open the drawer and took out the money and ledger.

Get ready and wait for Qin Xian.

Ren Yuan, who was tidying up the shelves, said: "Boss, there's one box missing from the warehouse. I didn't notice it was missing when I was sorting the goods at noon."

Li Yingtang went over to check the accounts himself and found that one box was indeed missing.

Who stole the goods?

She could turn a blind eye to the use of those few bottles, but carrying them away by the case was going too far.

She dismissed Ren Yuan and waited for Qin Xian to pick her up before telling him about the warehouse theft: "It must have been an inside job; no one else could have gotten into the warehouse. Do you think I should hire a warehouse manager to guard the goods?"

If these few boxes were sold in smaller quantities, they would be enough to cover the warehouse manager's salary.

Qin Xian: "Last time there were three boxes missing, today there's one box missing. Is each box ten yuan?"

Li Yingtang: "The wholesale price is ten yuan, but it's more than that on the market, at least fourteen yuan."

Qin Xian: "The first time you make money from a business with no initial investment, you should at least earn thirty. Are you willing to accept earning less this time? Based on my understanding of human nature, the other party will definitely come back to steal again. Should we wait here?"

"How?"

Qin Xian reached out and touched her head: "Are you silly? The thief must have a key. We just need to lock the door and find a suitable corner to wait."

Li Yingtang: "My lock can't be opened with a master key. There are only two keys in the shop, one with Xiao Shi and one on me."

Qin Xian: "Your keys never leave your hands? Keys are easy to duplicate."

“That makes sense.” Li Yingtang locked the door and moved to the other side of the street to wait.

Qin Xian went to the back door.

As darkness fell, everything was peaceful at the front gate where Li Yingtang was, until she was about to lose her patience.

At the back door where Qin Xian was, they caught a short man.

The perpetrator was caught red-handed.

He brought him to Li Yingtang and asked, "Tangtang, is this the person? Do you know him?"

Li Yingtang looked her up and down, then shook her head: "I don't know you. Where did you get the key?"

The man shrank back and remained silent.

Qin Xian dragged the man to a secluded spot and slapped him across the face. The man cried out, spat out a bloody tooth, and immediately lost all his backbone, begging for mercy: "I'll talk, I'll talk, don't hit me, don't hit me."

Li Yingtang was astonished by Qin Xian's strength; what immense power!

The saying "two kinds of people can't sleep in the same bed" is really true.

Her son, Ah-Xuan, is just like her; she's a ruthless person at heart.

"My sister gave it to me," the man said fearfully.

Qin Xian: "What sister? What's her name? How many boxes did she steal?"

“One box after another, four boxes in total. It’s Chen, Chen Qingqing.” Li Yingtang was shocked. She had always suspected Xiao Ma, but she never expected it to be the loud and boisterous Chen Qingqing.

People can't be seen.

She demanded, "Where did you get the key?"

"It was secretly made."

Li Yingtang secretly gave Qin Xian a thumbs up; her analysis was spot on.

Great.

Li Yingtang and Qin Xian took the person to the police station and then went home.

The following day, workers at the new factory reported that day.

Li Yingtang brought the design drafts to the factory and handed them to Xu Mao: "Is it easy to make?"

After looking at it carefully, Xu Mao said, "It's good. You drew it yourself?"

Li Yingtang: "Yes."

"You have a design background?"

Li Yingtang: "No."

Xu Mao said, "Boss Li said that you are only twenty-one years old and have already graduated from university. That's amazing."

"You flatter me." Li Yingtang replied, noticing Li Tang's figure.

Because of Qin Xian's analysis, her gaze towards him now held a hint of inquiry: "You've come to inspect?"

"I'm placing the order. The factory is going to make a few display racks. I drew the plans myself. Can you understand them?" Li Tang handed the drawings to Xu Mao.

Xu Mao glanced at the drawing and saw that the lines drawn with the ruler were quite different from the design draft provided by Li Yingtang, but it was still considered a good effort. "I can understand it. In the factories I've worked in, only you guys can draw. Everyone else just gives the dimensions, and the drawings are mostly done by the people below you."

Li Tang: "If you do a job, you need to be familiar with it. Otherwise, if the people below you are slacking off, we won't know, and we'll just be wasting our wages." Why did he work on this picture for several nights in a row?

Drawing is really not easy.

Tangtang is amazing; she can draw anything.

It's just that she doesn't take the initiative to acknowledge him, which is a bit infuriating.

Last night, my wife said that Tangtang had come to our house during the day and hinted that he might like her.

He made me angry.

I immediately wanted to rush to her house to recognize her.

Xu Mao laughed heartily. "As expected of a boss, always calculating costs."

Li Tang: "Of course."

"."

Li Yingtang spent half a day at the factory, and after leaving, he went to a hardware store and bought two new locks.

It was already noon when she entered the store, Xiao Shi told her.

Chen Qingqing did not come.

Li Yingtang revealed that Chen Qingqing had secretly made a copy of the key so that her brother could steal goods from the store.

Xiao Ma belatedly realized: "No wonder I heard noises inside the warehouse yesterday morning when I passed by. The thief was probably hiding inside."

Li Yingtang: "What are you doing in the warehouse?"

Xiao Ma's eyes lit up: "It's convenient to go to the toilet if you walk from the warehouse."

Li Yingtang: "I'll take a detour next time."

"Sigh." After being scolded, Xiao Ma touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.

Xiao Shi couldn't calm down for a long time: "You can't judge a book by its cover. Xiao Chen's family runs a small shop and makes a lot of money every day. Why is he staring at the goods in the shop?"

Xiao Ma: "Is it possible to get those goods back?"

Li Yingtang: "It should be possible. If we can't recover it, we'll just deduct Xiao Chen's salary. Now we're waiting for the police station to handle it."

"Hello everyone." A short, middle-aged man wearing a canvas shirt appeared at the door.

Xiao Shi: "What would you like to buy?"

The middle-aged man raised his head and said, "I'm Chen Qingqing's father. She doesn't want to work here anymore and asked me to come and collect her wages."

Li Yingtang calmly said, "You've come at the right time. Your son stole four boxes of goods from our store, ten yuan per box. Pay up."
