“Boss Liu is quite serious.” Several managers greeted in unison. f𝚛e𝐞𝐰𝚎b𝚗o𝚟𝚎l.c𝗼m

With a face full of interest, Nan Tianzong gestured for everyone to sit down, “Let’s all sit down and talk! Boss Liu’s home is in the deep mountains, so she usually doesn’t come out. However, from now on, once she comes to check the accounts, I hope that all the managers can cooperate fully.”

Of course, the several managers agreed in unison.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Nan Tianzong was speaking, Liu Sisi also observed the managers.

The four managers at the scene had open and honest gazes, and their demeanor was respectful. It was very obvious that Nan Tianzong’s vision was quite good. In response to Liu Sisi’s observation, the managers also cast their eyes on her.

Liu Sisi didn’t mind and just smiled, picking up the account book and flipping through it casually.

It turned out that the financial dealings of the gold and silver shop couldn’t be compared with the finances of the bookstore in the small town! These financial transactions, whether they were income or expenses, involved tens of thousands of silver each day! Not to mention the accounts of the wine-house!

Especially the person who wrote the records, their sloppy handwriting was enough to give Liu Sisi a headache.

Perhaps it was because Liu Sisi had frequently furrowed her brows, which alarmed Nan Tianzong, who was reviewing the accounts next to her, “Little sister, what’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the accounts?”

“There’s nothing wrong, it’s just that I’m used to regular script, so I’m not used to this… wild cursive.”

Only then did Liu Sisi realize that everyone’s attention was on her, and she quickly laughed and continued speaking.

Originally, when they saw that Liu Sisi was a woman, they thought she only held a share in the business. They didn’t expect that she actually had intentions of managing the accounts herself.

Meanwhile, Nan Tianzong laughed heartily, “This is simple. From now on when you all record the accounts, use regular script, understood?”

“Yes, boss!” Several managers answered in unison.

After confirming the bills, Nan Tianzong dismissed the managers and finally relaxed, leaning back in his chair.

“It’s really hard for me, Nan Tianzong, to be immersed in these account books all day! I was thinking today that if you didn’t come into town, I was planning to go to your home and find you.”

“No! A lot has happened at home recently, so… I was a few days late coming into the city.”

As Liu Sisi spoke, she finally took something out of her bag, “Oh! Brother Nan, I brought the accounts for the bookstore. Do you want to take a look?”

“No need, the accounts you check usually have no problems.”

Nan Tianzong waved his hand indifferently, his gaze firmly settling on Liu Sisi, “I heard that you’ve been promoted and become the Miss of the Gan family. Congratulations!”

“Not a miss, just a goddaughter.”

Liu Sisi spoke indifferently, her fingers idly playing with the object in her hand.

She hadn’t even figured out the motive behind the other party’s recognition of her as a goddaughter, so what was there to congratulate?

“Heh heh, you must be thinking, why would the Gan family want to recognize you as a goddaughter, right?”

With a confident look on his face and a gentle smile, Nan Tianzong asked, “Do you want to know the reason behind it?”

“You know?”

Liu Sisi was somewhat surprised and immediately realized, “Ah—I see! It must have been Ruo Ruo who told you, right?”

However, thinking about it again, it didn’t seem right!

Last time Gan Miaoruo was so heartbroken and said she’d never speak to him again, but in just a few days, she’s meeting with him again?

Nan Tianzong furrowed his brow in confusion and shook his head, “No! That little girl has been distracted by some new fascination lately. She’s been obediently staying at the Gan Mansion and not going out. It really is quite strange.”

Usually, wherever he appeared, her figure would always be there too.

Now suddenly he can’t see her, and at first, he was quite happy. But as time went on, he couldn’t help but hope that her lively little body would suddenly appear from some corner, thinking of strange and unique ideas, hoping to catch his attention…

He was disappointed, however!

Ever since he said those words that day, she stopped appearing in front of him, and he didn’t know how she was doing recently.

“It seems you don’t know then? Ruo Ruo only said a few days ago that the things that originally attracted her to stay in Macheng County have disappeared, and there’s nothing left here worth her reminiscing about. She plans to return to the capital after the New Year. Then, following her parents’ wishes and the matchmaker’s recommendation, she’ll find someone she loves and marry them.”

The first half of this statement were Gan Miaoruo’s original words, and the latter half was added by Liu Sisi herself.

Liu Sisi looked at him seriously, and as expected, saw a trace of bewilderment on Nan Tianzong’s face. However, it faded away as quickly as it had appeared.

“I’m sure you said that! She would never say something like that.”

Raising an eyebrow, Nan Tianzong denied while he turned the direction of the folding fan in his hand and promptly tapped it on her forehead, “Don’t always think about these things and don’t tease me either! Do you or don’t you want to know the reason why the Gan family wants to adopt you as their goddaughter?”

“Of course I want to know! How could I not? I dream about knowing the answer.”

Although that was an exaggeration, Liu Sisi really did want to know the reason.

“Actually, I heard about it too.”

Nan Tianzong sat back down, casually picking out a pineapple from a basket and starting to peel it, “I heard that the reason Madam Gan Senior did this is related to the current state of the world.”

“What situation? Tell me.”

Liu Sisi looked at how clumsily Nan Tianzong was peeling the pineapple and couldn’t help but take it from him, “This pineapple isn’t peeled like that, give it to me! When it comes to eating fruit, I’m the most skilled!” Liu Sisi said with some pride.

“You can peel this pineapple? I really didn’t expect that!”

A glimmer of light flashed quickly in Nan Tianzong’s eyes.

This pineapple was a tropical fruit, and it should be very novel to find it in a small county town like this during the cold weather.

However, watching Liu Sisi skillfully peel the pineapple, it was clear that she wasn’t peeling it for the first time.

He frowned, finding it harder and harder to see through Liu Sisi!
