Chapter 531 -490, Rumors_1
Daohua Pavilion.
“Miss, Zhao Yongwang is here.”
Daohua, playing with an abacus and not lifting her head said, “Let him verify the accounts of the Xingzhou flower shop. I want to know the results this afternoon.”
Wang Manman knew her young lady was testing the new recruit and bowed slightly, “Yes.”
Zhao Yongwang stood in the courtyard, somewhat uneasy, with his head down, not daring to look around.
They had been brought to Taohua Village several days ago, and no one had come to assign them any tasks during this time, which made him and… Brother Cao and the others very anxious.
Yesterday, the head of the estate mentioned that they would go to the Prince Residence to settle accounts and unexpectedly called on him.
He was so excited that he didn’t sleep at all last night, and early this morning, a maid from the young lady’s side came to summon him.
Zhao Yongwang took a deep breath, trying to keep himself from being too nervous.
He knew there was no place for the useless, and if he couldn’t make a good impression on the young lady today, then he feared he might have to stay in the estate forever.
Soon, he saw the girl who had led him in before come out smiling.
Wang Manman sized up Zhao Yongwang, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, tall and thin, nothing extraordinary, but with bright eyes that spoke of his shrewdness.
“Here is the account book the young lady wants checked by this afternoon. Go over it carefully,” Wang Manman said with a smile as she handed the account book to Zhao Yongwang.
Zhao Yongwang quickly reached out to take the account book, “I will definitely check it thoroughly.”
Wang Manman smiled, “This is the rear courtyard. You can’t stay long. Come, I’ll take you to the front courtyard to do the calculations.”
Zhao Yongwang immediately said, “Thank you for the trouble, sister.”
Wang Manman nodded and walked ahead.
They walked one after the other, and Wang Manman sporadically chatted with Zhao Yongwang to probe his background. Along the way, she noticed Zhao Yongwang quickly flipping through the account book, and saw his previously tense expression relax after looking it over.
Seeing this, Wang Manman raised an eyebrow, thinking that this man must truly be capable.
Soon, Wang Manman led Zhao Yongwang to the front courtyard.
“Manman!”
Hearing the voice, Wang Manman quickly turned around and then saw Brother Xiaoliu, with a look of surprise on his face, running towards her and smiled, “Brother Xiaoliu, when did you come back?”
Qin Yong arrived next to Wang Manman, “I came back this morning. I just went home to change clothes and was about to go see the young lady.” He said, then glanced at Zhao Yongwang beside her, “Who is he?”
Wang Manman smiled, “A new recruit personally selected by the young lady.” Then, pointing to an empty room, she said to Zhao Yongwang, “Do the accounting in that room. Remember, the young lady wants the account book by this afternoon. Once you’ve finished calculating, report to the maids at Chuihua Gate, and I will take you to see the young lady.”
Seeing that Qin Yong and Wang Manman seemed to have things to discuss, Zhao Yongwang tactfully said, “Alright, thank you, sister. I’ll get to work then.”
Once he was far away, Wang Manman laughed and looked at Qin Yong, “Come on, let’s hurry to meet the young lady. She has mentioned you several times these past few days.”
Qin Yong smiled and followed Wang Manman, “That man just now isn’t an ordinary servant, is he?”
Wang Manman smiled, “The young lady specifically requested to see him, and she also deliberately chose an account book to test him. How could he be an ordinary servant? If he really has skills, he is sure to be put to important use.”
Qin Yong nodded, with some concern, “Why is the young lady thinking of recruiting new people, am I not doing a good job?”
Wang Manman laughed, “It’s not about you. Nowadays the young lady’s lands and shops are increasing, even extending to Beijing. Naturally, it can’t be just you running around.”
After saying this, she paused and couldn’t resist giving a reminder.
