Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 854

Chapter 854: Chapter 727: Mismatched Accounts

After leaving the arena, Zhou followed them out, but instead of heading to the gate, she planned to go to her father Zhou Xiaozheng’s office to wait for him and return home together.

On the other side, Shi Dashen and his companion walked out shoulder to shoulder, and upon seeing her, their eyes lit up: "Zhou, come here, come here, your dad is busy working, let’s chat for a bit."

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced sideways at him: "That’s enough."

"Old Zhou, how about I move over for you?"

"I still have to inspect the troops, no time." Zhou Xiaozheng promptly refused but gestured for Zhou to go to the other party.

Zhou understood instantly and smiled, "Uncle Shi, if you have any orders, just instruct me. If I’m capable, I’ll definitely get it done for you properly."

Shi Dashen smiled proudly at Zhou Xiaozheng and turned around with his hands behind his back, "Come on, let me borrow your brain."

"Dad, I’ll head over first."

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded with a smile, "After work, let’s go home together."

Shi Dashen secretly clicked his tongue: This guy really knows how to take advantage. Go home together? Fine! I’ll just rush your girl a little faster.

Halfway down the hall, he casually called over his guard and instructed in a low voice to bring several more report forms.

In the office, Shi Dashen pointed maliciously at a pile of books on the table: "Girl, help me verify these reports, and once finished, you’re done."

Zhou glanced over, hesitated and asked, "Is this compliant? Could some of the data involve confidentiality?"

"Don’t worry, do you think your little notebook is so easy to come by?"

Zhou suppressed a laugh: she had just used it once in the South through borrowed authority, and had forgotten. Even though she’s not a formal employee, she still belongs to a unit.

"By the way, let me ask, when can I get my salary? Uncle Shi, you see, I’m supporting my elders and juniors, it’s not a light burden."

"You cheeky girl, whatever is due to you will not be shorted." Shi Dashen laughed and scolded, pointing at the table, "Quickly get to work; if you’re late, you won’t be able to go home with your dad."

"Yes, sir!" said Zhou playfully, saluting him. She moved things onto the coffee table, took her seat, and upon looking, found a lot of account books.

Isn’t there a finance department? What is this nonsense again? But given these confidentiality issues, she didn’t ask further. It’s the year-end, and surely there’s more than just these.

As she expected.

While Zhou concentrated fully, processing the abacus and verifying one report after another, a considerable pile accumulated not far from her position.

Shi Dashen sat at his desk working, occasionally looking up at her. Seeing her quickly get into work mode, his usually rare-to-see smiling face cracked into a smile.

Time gradually passed, and work hours were over. Shi Dashen initially thought of reminding her. But seeing Zhou Xiaozheng hadn’t arrived to pick her up and looking at the child already tidying up towards the end, he held back and swallowed his words.

After finishing the last account book in her hands, Zhou moved another stack to the desk: "Uncle Shi, aside from these, all others matched."

Shi Dashen pointed at the account books on the desk: "Are these all problematic?"

Zhou nodded, thought for a moment, and added: "You might want to have someone double-check; in here some discrepancies may be due to my errors."

"Alright, you quickly go find your dad. Keep these accounts under wraps."

Zhou quickly nodded: "Aside from the figures, I didn’t look at the unit names. I’ll head out now, but just in case, have someone double-check."

"Okay."
