Chapter 734 The Ability to Calculate Accounts
"This woman can actually say thank you?" Lin Ping was somewhat mesmerized as he gazed at Meng Qingge's graceful figure from behind.
That night, he did something spectacular, in the blink of an eye.
Being with such a beautiful woman every day, with his future mother-in-law encouraging him, it's no wonder Lin Ping had wicked thoughts.
But he knew he had to be reserved and couldn't force the issue, so he could only let his eighth brother suffer.
Since Meng Qingge temporarily took over as group leader, the discordant voices have decreased significantly, and many relatives have begun to curry favor with her.
Lin Ping was finally able to relax; at least he didn't have to worry about her being bullied anymore.
Two days later, Lin Ping also installed underfloor heating for himself and Huang Jiayu. He even wanted to install underfloor heating for his maids and servants, but they strongly refused.
That evening, Meng Qingge finally entered Lin Ping's room with some account books, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"These...these..." Meng Qingge stammered, still too embarrassed to speak.
She was just too busy, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered Lin Ping.
"Put it down, I'll handle it," Lin Ping said indifferently.
He seemed to have found the key to winning over Meng Qingge. You can't just fawn over a woman like that; you have to show your best qualities and make her fall for you willingly.
Meng Qingge was not angry at Lin Ping's coldness; instead, she thanked him several times.
After nightfall, Lin Ping turned off the lights early.
"Sigh... I really don't dare to make things difficult for him."
Across from her, Meng Qingge sighed, regretting having asked Lin Ping for help.
Turning off the lights so early means he didn't even look at the accounts and didn't care about her at all.
Meng Qingge continued to look through the accounts with her head down.
In recent days, her work efficiency has more than doubled.
She discovered that the four arithmetic operations Lin Ping provided were practically designed for accounting, and that brighter lighting and a warmer room were also essential requirements.
Even Yun'er kept praising Lin Ping.
Not only does she not have to trim the lamp wick, but she can also serve the young lady in a warm room.
Because some accounts were assigned to Lin Ping, Meng Qingge finished her work ahead of schedule and fell asleep before midnight for the first time.
It has been proven that going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health.
Meng Qingge was more energetic, and even her mood was different.
However, Meng Qingge was still a little worried about the accounts Lin Ping had left behind, and she would probably have to work overtime again tonight.
"Miss, these are the accounts that Young Master Lin asked to send over." Rou'er came over with a stack of account books, which were the ones that Meng Qingge had given to Lin Ping.
"Okay, I understand." Meng Qingge nodded somewhat unhappily, thinking to herself: Men are unreliable.
She did not immediately open the account book, but instead ordered Rou'er to put it in her boudoir and deal with it when she returned to the mansion that evening.
Work kept piling up, and Meng Qingge didn't even have time for dinner before diving into her room to start organizing the accounts.
"Huh? Why doesn't this woman have time to eat? Didn't I help her organize the accounts?" Lin Ping was a little puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions.
When Meng Qingge opened the account books she had given to Lin Ping the night before, she was completely stunned, speechless with astonishment.
He not only organized all the accounts meticulously, but also used different colored pens to mark which amounts were profits and which were losses, and even explained the reasons for the losses and the measures to improve them.
"Rou'er, did Young Master Lin come to my room today?" Meng Qingge asked in confusion, as she believed that Lin Ping had completed the accounts during the day.
“Young Master Lin said he would never enter your room without Miss’s permission,” Rou’er replied.
"When did he finish these accounts?" Meng Qingge was even more curious, as she was certain that Lin Ping had gone to bed early last night.
"Last night?" Rou'er didn't understand Meng Qingge's meaning and answered truthfully.
The other party looked at Rou'er in surprise and continued, "Young Master Lin was already asleep before 9 PM last night, how could he have completed these accounts?"
"Young Master Lin finished in half an hour, so he went to bed early and told Rou'er to rest early too." Rou'er's face was a little flushed; the little girl was enjoying Lin Ping's care.
"All the accounts were completed in half an hour?"
Meng Qingge was truly shocked.
Although she didn't give Lin Ping a lot of accounts, it shouldn't have taken her half an hour to complete. Even for an experienced person like her, it would have taken her nearly two hours.
Moreover, the other party also provided annotations, making the entire account clear at a glance.
Out of curiosity, she went to Lin Ping's room again, but without the account book in her hand.
"What's up?" Lin Ping was pretending to be on official business, but he glanced at Meng Qingge out of the corner of his eye.
"I would like to hire Young Master Lin as the accountant for the Meng family, with a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver," Meng Qingge offered an attractive price.
An ordinary accountant would earn at most ten taels of silver, so this price is indeed a bit high.
Meng Qingge was happy that Lin Ping had this skill, as it would allow him to find a job and support his family without any problem.
At that time, Meng Yuanping would not be able to belittle Lin Ping on the grounds of being idle, and might even agree to the marriage.
"Well, it's not much, but I agree. Bring all the ledgers. I'm applying to work from home; the accounting office is too cold," Lin Ping replied indifferently.
Meng Qingge was stunned. She regretted making this decision. It was obvious that she had given Lin Ping the opportunity to take advantage of her. This guy really knew how to push his luck.
She ultimately only gave Lin Ping half of the accounts. Before she could figure out Lin Ping's capabilities, she dared not abandon him. Besides, she wanted to compete with Lin Ping in speed.
Same accounts, same time, let's see who turns off the lights first.
However... Meng Qingge made a mistake; she could never have imagined how shameless Lin Ping was.
Just as she was getting ready to work, Lin Ping had already turned off the lights.
Is it over before it even begins?
Meng Qingge strongly suspected that he was slacking off, little did she know that Lin Ping was using the X-ray function to continue looking through the ledgers, doing so simply to enhance his prestige.
"Yun'er, keep an eye on him and see if he secretly turns on the lights at night." Meng Qingge refused to believe it.
The next morning, Yun'er, with dark circles under her eyes, said listlessly, "Young Master Lin didn't turn on the lights all night, can I go and rest now?"
"Miss, Mr. Lin has brought the account books." As soon as Yun'er left, Rou'er knocked on the door and came in, carrying a thick stack of account books in her hands.
With a distrustful attitude, Meng Qingge began to open the account book.
"Completed? They've actually finished everything?" Meng Qingge flipped through several books in a row but couldn't find a single problem. She was completely defeated by Lin Ping.
She was even a little envious that she earned twenty taels of silver so easily.
Meng Qingge strongly suspected that Lin Ping was holding back; he definitely knew more advanced calculation methods.
Lin Ping was also innocent; he couldn't very well teach advanced mathematics to Meng Qingge, as that would be a huge headache.
In the following days, Meng Qingge also became shameless and taught all the accounts to Lin Ping, even supervising him while he worked.
It must be said that Lin Ping's speed is extremely fast; he can calculate any account in his head, saving a lot of time compared to using an abacus.
"Is this guy really illiterate?" Meng Qingge had a million questions in her mind.
