Red Dust Daqian

Zhou Sen, the hands-off boss, had never carefully calculated the accounts. He always thought that the financial resources accumulated by Xiangmu Society and the profit rate of Qianmutang were enough to support the overall reform of Xiangmu Society. He did not expect that the situation would be so difficult.

After Zhou Sen blamed himself, he gently stroked Shen Qianrou's shoulder and said lovingly, "Qianrou, promise me that you will never work hard by yourself again. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must tell me directly. I am your husband. Don't carry it alone. We can find a way together. You will make your husband very distressed."

Shen Qianrou hugged Zhou Sen's arm tightly and buried it deep in her chest, and said stubbornly: "Qianrou just wants to make husband Mumu feel distressed, let husband know that Qianrou can really help you, let husband know that Qianrou can give everything for husband."

Zhou Sen was heartbroken, feeling that he had no virtue to let Shen Qianrou sacrifice so much for him. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would never let Shen Qianrou down in the future. Zhou Sen deliberately complained: "Then you have to tell your husband, otherwise how can I know!"

Shen Qianrou told Zhou Sen that she actually believed that everyone in Xiangmu Society had their own position and mission, and her husband was no exception. Although there were some things she didn't understand, Zhou Sen must have his own reasons for doing it. As for the affairs of Qianmutang, since she was in charge, she wanted to take full responsibility and didn't want to cause trouble for her husband. The current situation is that all the ceramics fired by Zhuyutang are sold through Qianmutang. The funds of Xiangmu Society should be borne by Qianmutang. If she can't come up with so much money, wouldn't it make her look incompetent?

Zhou Sen looked at the silly-smiling Shen Qianrou, and could not bear to blame her: "Silly girl, ceramics are durable goods, the market is so small, and the capital flow is also limited. According to the previous situation, there is of course no problem. But after the reform of Xiangmu Society, so many expenditure items have been added. How can Qianmutang and you alone complete it? It's not that I don't believe in you, even if you become a monster, change into a three-headed and six-armed monster, or even tire yourself out, but the market is so big, what can you do? My silly girl!"

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate without paying attention to others, Shen Yue'er and Vanilla couldn't stand it anymore. Vanilla even complained, "Stop being so affectionate. What should we do now?"

Zhou Sen said calmly: "Don't worry about it. Leave the funding issue to me. This is not the first time we have encountered such a situation. I believe I can solve it perfectly. And promise me that you will never overwork yourself, otherwise there will be no point in me doing all this."

The three of them were grateful for Zhou Sen's promise and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Sen looked at the account on the table and asked, "Qian Rou, what were you calculating just now? And what is that bamboo stick in your hand?"

Shen Qianrou stretched lazily and said, "Husband, these are the daily account books of Xiangmu Society. Qianmu Hall, Zhumu Hall, Tiemu Hall also include expenses of Zhoupeng Charity, etc."

Zhou Sen wondered why he had to check it himself, couldn't he just hand it over to the accountant? Shen Qianrou said, "The accountant could handle it before, but the expenses have suddenly increased recently, and the accountant can't handle it. In addition, I have to figure out how the money is spent and what can be saved. Only by figuring out these accounts can we allocate the money properly."

Then Shen Qianrou handed the bamboo stick to Zhou Sen and asked in confusion: "You don't know this, it's a counting stick, used for accounting!"

Zhou Sen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know how to count. Then he picked up the account book, flipped through it casually, and said to Shen Qianrou: "Qianrou, you can calculate these tonight and go to bed first. Give these account books to me, and I will complete the calculation tomorrow. By then, I will teach you some arithmetic methods."

He was bragging again. Xiangcao, Shen Qianrou, and Shen Yueer all looked at Zhou Sen with wide eyes in confusion. How could someone who didn't even know how to use counting rods calculate such detailed accounts? He also said that he knew arithmetic and wanted to teach Shen Qianrou, who had been calculating accounts for years? Isn't this shameless?

Looking at the three people who were full of doubts and did not trust Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen said proudly: "Since you don't believe it, come over to study together tomorrow. I will let you see what a simple and fast algorithm is." The three people who were full of curiosity would not miss the opportunity to watch the fun and agreed one after another.

It was already late, Zhou Sen wanted to stay at Shen Qianrou's place, but Xiangcao, who regarded herself as the head of the family, took him back to the inn...

The next day, Zhou Sen got up early, earlier than ever before. His family members were so diligent. There was no reason for him to sleep in. Besides, this was a critical moment for Xiangmu Society's transformation, so how could he fall behind?

Xiangcao, who lived across the wall from Zhou Sen, was shocked when she heard the rustling sounds of Zhou Sen's washing in his room early in the morning, and she quickly got up to wash.

Seeing Zhou Sen in casual clothes and neatly dressed, Xiangcao couldn't help but sarcastically said: The sun has risen from the west, right? The prodigal son has returned?

Zhou Sen was slightly embarrassed and didn't say much. He just covered it up casually, didn't even have breakfast, and slipped directly into Shen Qianrou's residence in the backyard of Qianmutang with Vanilla.

In Shen Qianrou's bedroom, Shen Yue'er was still lying on Shen Qianrou's bed. At this moment, Shen Qianrou had already gotten up and washed up, and was concentrating on sorting out the account books that she had not finished sorting out last night.

Seeing this, Zhou Sen felt distressed again, and directly scolded Shen Qianrou, why did she keep persuading and insisting on exhausting her body, you make me so reluctant to let her go? Shen Qianrou awkwardly defended: "Thinking about yesterday's matter, I couldn't sleep well because I hadn't finished it." Zhou Sen stroked Shen Qianrou's smiling face with pity, and scolded: "Qianrou, you have to change your illness! With me here, even if the sky falls, you have to sleep peacefully." Xiangcao also followed Zhou Sen to persuade Shen Qianrou to believe Zhou Sen, he really didn't want to let his wife suffer.

The sound of Zhou Sen, Xiangcao, and Shen Qianrou talking woke up Shen Yueer who was sleeping soundly. Shen Yueer screamed "Ah", which scared everyone. The three people looked at Shen Yueer in unison, wondering what happened.

Shen Yue'er roared, "Blind Mu, why are you running into the young lady's bedroom? Get out right now. Can't you see that I'm sleeping without any clothes on? All of you hooligans have seen me naked. I'm not done with you, you stinky Taoist priest. I'm going to kill you!" Shen Yue'er roared heartbreakingly, as if everyone in Qianmutang could hear her.
