After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Wang Duo took Ming Jia to the accounting room, which was in a hidden corner on the second floor.

Mingjun was a little worried about Mingjia, so he asked Shisan and Shen Qi to follow him to protect him, while he took Aman downstairs to read.

Wang Duo walked slowly in front, thinking about a solution over and over in his mind. The accountant's surname was Liu, and he was originally the accountant of the Xie family. Later, the shop where Liu's accountant worked was given to Mr. Xie by the family owner.

Therefore, on the surface, Accountant Liu is indeed a member of Xie Boyuan, but Accountant Liu is a slave and his deed has always been with Xie's family.

Accountant Liu is really not a child who is sick. Accountant Liu was transferred to the department store by the Xie family to help with the accounts because it was the end of the month.

Wang Duo originally thought it was not a big deal. After all, Shiqulou's account books were easier to organize, and he could do it by himself. Moreover, Zhiqulou was somewhat involved with the Xie family, and finally got some protection.

Mingjia entered Mr. Accountant's room, walked straight to the desk, stretched out his hand and touched the desk. Mingjia looked down at her dusty hands and said loudly to Granny Yan: "Grandma Yan, go get some warm water!"

Mrs. Yan responded and went to fetch water. Mingjia took out her handkerchief and wiped her hands carefully. While wiping her hands, she whispered: "It's so dirty!"

It was only the end of April and summer had not yet entered, but there was already a thin layer of sweat on Wang Duo's forehead. Mingjia stood in front of the desk, flipping through the account books on the desk a few times, and found that the recording time stopped at April 15th.

Ming Jia suddenly said to Wang Duo: "Shopkeeper Wang, it seems that the child of Accountant Liu's family is very ill! Is there any contract between our Shiqulou and Accountant Liu?"

Wang Duo is close in age to Chi Rong and Chi Hua, and they are both people under Xie Boyuan, so they have some friendship. Over the years, Wang Duo has written to them frequently to inquire about the situation of Quxian Shiqulou and its masters.

Just now, Wang Duo didn't recognize that the younger young master was Ming Jia, but he had already guessed it now. Thinking of Chi Rong and Chi Hua's fear of Ming Jia, they didn't dare to be careless at this moment.

Wang Duo thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "Accountant Liu was appointed by Master Xie... without a deed!" Wang Duo subconsciously wanted to say Master Xie, even though he changed his title.

Mingjia nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Mrs. Yan walked in with warm water. Mingjia went over and washed his hands carefully before saying, "Shopkeeper Wang, my brother and I want to go out to eat something. Please find someone to clean this place!"

After saying that, Mingjia left with the others.

On the first floor, Mingjun was chatting with two scholars of about the same age. When he heard footsteps on the stairs, he turned around to meet Mingjia. "Why did you finish reading the account books so quickly?"

Mingjia did not answer his brother's question, but instead looked at the two people who had just chatted with his brother. Ming Jun saw Ming Jia's gaze and turned around to say goodbye to the two scholars first.

Mingjun quickly returned to Mingjia and said, "Are you leaving?" Mingjia nodded: "Brother, let's find a food shop nearby to have something to eat first. I'll come and look at the account books in the afternoon."

Mingjun felt something was wrong with his sister's mood and turned to look at Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan couldn't say anything, she just raised her eyes slightly to look at Mr. Accountant's room and Shopkeeper Wang who had already chased him down.

Ming Jun's face darkened instantly. The Capital Shiqu Building was a birthday gift from Uncle Li to Ming Jia. It belongs to his sister Ming Jia alone. Is this a slave to deceive the master?

Mingjia reached out and pulled her brother's sleeve. She still had many questions about this matter. Mingjun looked down at his sister's hand holding his sleeve, and the aura around him suddenly dissipated.

Mingjun suddenly showed a smile and said: "Jiajia, what do you want to eat for lunch? Brother, please treat me. I will accompany you to look at the account books in the afternoon."

After saying that, he pulled Mingjia out of Shiqulou, completely ignoring Wang Duo behind him. A scholar who had just been chatting with Ming Jun frowned a little when he saw this situation.

Mingjun and Mingjia went directly to a snack shop and found a window seat on the second floor. Ming Jia told Ming Jun what she encountered at the accounting office, "I think Accounting Liu hasn't been here for at least five days."

Mingjun couldn't guess what the situation would be, so he had to ask Mingjia: "How are you going to deal with it?"

Mingjia is actually conflicted in her heart. She has a strong side and a timid side. If this were in Sichuanzhou, she would have directly replaced all the shopkeepers and accountants, but this was in the capital.

Nowadays, none of them can stay in the capital. It is a good thing that the business here is profitable. If they are all losing money, Mingjia will be beyond their reach.

Ming Jia felt a little uneasy. She always felt that it was not just as simple as Accountant Liu's absence from work for a few days. There might be other things behind it. If it's a small matter, it's okay, and I'll ask Uncle Li for help.

If there is any big plot, it would be difficult for Mingjia to deal with it. After all, there are still a lot of things involved in the Capital Shiqu Building. She doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to her master, her father, or even Li Hansheng.

Mingjia sighed a little. The sign of Shiqulou was very important to her. "Brother, let's eat first! Let me see what to do after I read the account books!"

Mingjia was a little timid and thought, "In the worst case, I'll close this intellectual building and sell this small building at a high price. I'll use the money to make other investments. I'll ruin the development of Beijing!"

However, Mingjia also knew that this was a bad move. There were many aristocratic families in the capital, and there was no telling how many people coveted this kind of independent three-story building. Once sold, it will be difficult to buy it back.

Mingjun felt uncomfortable seeing his sister eating sadly, but he didn't have any better ideas at the moment.

The Xiao brother and sister were eating here, while Xie Jue hurried back to Xie's house to find her sister Xie Zhiqiu. "elder sister!"

Xie Zhiqiu was having lunch when she suddenly heard her brother calling her loudly. She put down the bowl and chopsticks and signaled the maid to open the door and let her brother Xie Jue in. "What happened, you are so panicked!"

Xie Jue ran into the room and sat down on the seat next to Xie Zhiqiu. He took two deep breaths and said, "Sister, has your department store transferred a lot of accounting offices recently to check the accounts from January to March?"

Xie Zhiqiu originally thought it was some big deal. When he heard that it was this matter, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued eating. He said nonchalantly: "Yes! The accounts are reviewed every quarter, don't you know?"

When Xie Jue heard that it was indeed the case, he immediately said what he had guessed, "You asked me to find a chance to get to know Xiao Mingjun, and I met him today."

Although Xie Jue's words had no beginning or end, they successfully attracted Xie Zhiqiu's attention. Xie Jue continued, "Xiao Mingjun went to Shiqu Building this morning to check the accounts. It seems that one of the seconded accountants is from Changxingfang Shiqu Building."
