Chapter 812: Depends on His Choice

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhong Xiaoping had also acc.u.mulated some connections over the years.

Through these people he usually interacted with, Zhong Xiaoping quickly found the people who had learned accounting from his mentor in the past.

However, when Zhong Xiaoping found these people, he realized that they were no longer bookkeepers.

After asking carefully, Zhong Xiaoping realized that everyone had been tricked when they learned accounting from their mentor.

When the person Zhong Xiaoping had seen kneeling and begging his mentor to let him off saw Zhong Xiaoping looking for him, he only said,

“It’s impossible for you to leave your mentor! Either you continue to work for him, earn money for him, and live a miserable life, or you have to compensate him with a huge sum of money and can no longer be a bookkeeper from now on!”

When Zhong Xiaoping heard this, he immediately asked, “Senior, is it because of the handprint we placed when we became his disciple?”

The senior brother smiled when he heard Zhong Xiaoping’s words.

“You finally understand! It’s just that it’s too late. Little Junior, as a victim, I can only tell you that don’t think about stealing and destroying that contract. The contract you’ll find is fake. Not only does our mentor have the real contract, but the authorities also have it. Therefore, from the moment you pressed that fingerprint, it means that you no longer have a choice!”

“Then how did you get rid of mentor back then?” Zhong Xiaoping asked anxiously.

“I’ve never been able to get rid of him. Later on, something happened and I took the blame for my mentor. From then on, I couldn’t be a bookkeeper anymore. Not only me, but every senior who left our mentor took the blame for him. Then, they couldn’t be bookkeepers anymore, so they left our mentor. But when our mentor needs us, we’ll still be threatened into doing all kinds of fake accounts at our mentor’s request. If we don’t go, we’ll have to compensate him with a large sum of money that we can’t afford at all!” The senior said with a bitter smile.

When Zhong Xiaoping heard this, he looked at his senior brother in surprise.

The senior brother patted Zhong Xiaoping’s hand and said, “You didn’t expect this, did you? You’re quite smart. Fortunately, you didn’t think of finding another job to get rid of your mentor. Instead, you chose to ask us first. If you found a job first before leaving your mentor, you would definitely have been taught a lesson by him! Do you remember the cripple who followed your mentor? That’s the consequence of you finding another job!”

Zhong Xiaoping was so distraught that he didn’t know how he left his senior brother’s place. When he returned to his house in a daze, he looked up and saw his mother’s anxious face.

“Xiaoping! What’s wrong? Did something happen to you?” Mrs. Zhong asked with concern.

Zhong Xiaoping came back to his senses when he heard his mother’s words.

“Mother, if my mentor sends someone to look for me later, tell him that I’ve been sick for the past two days and am recuperating at home! Tell my mentor that I might have to wait until I recover before working!”

After saying this, Zhong Xiaoping felt dizzy and fainted.

After that, the Zhong family panicked. The doctor was also invited over and medicine was prescribed.

After the doctor prescribed the prescription, he reminded, “He’s very exhausted and has to recuperate at home after drinking medicine during this period of time. He won’t be able to do anything!”

The Zhong family remembered the doctor’s words and went to brew medicine for Zhong Xiaoping.

That night, Zhong Xiaoping’s mentor really sent someone to look for him.

Mrs. Zhong recalled what Zhong Xiaoping had said before he fainted and replied, “Xiao Zhong has been sick for the past two days. The doctor who came to see him said that he caught a cold and needs to take medicine to recuperate. Please go back and report that he’s on leave!”

When the person heard Mrs. Zhong’s words, he went in to see Zhong Xiaoping.

After confirming that Zhong Xiaoping was seriously ill, he left.

Zhong Xiaoping was really sick. Because he could not withstand the truth, he fell sick!

Li Xiaoran had sent people to follow Zhong Xiaoping, so she naturally knew what Zhong Xiaoping had experienced.

After knowing that Zhong Xiaoping was sick, she immediately sighed.

“I really didn’t expect my guess to be right! It’s just that I didn’t expect Zhong Xiaoping’s mentor to be so ruthless. He’s using his disciples to work for his own benefit. It’s fine to teach his disciples to work for him, but for good purposes! It’s really rare to see a mentor who exploits others so ruthlessly!”

Luo Cheng was also listening to this matter. When he heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he thought for a moment and said, “You think that highly of Zhong Xiaoping?”

“That’s right! Zhong Xiaoping’s accounting ability is outstanding! Unfortunately, with his mentor around, this matter became complicated!” Li Xiaoran said.

“If you really think that highly of him, just help him directly!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “I want to see how Zhong Xiaoping will deal with it! Husband, accounting is very important to us! If a talent like Zhong Xiaoping has ill intentions, then no matter how capable he is, he can’t be used! This is why when Zhong Xiaoping asked me if we could meet again, I said that we would meet again if we were fated. Actually, I just want to see how he will deal with what happened to him! I’ll decide if I should hire him according to his choice!”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Logically speaking, ordinary people probably can’t resolve this big problem!”

“Ordinary people can’t, but Zhong Xiaoping isn’t an ordinary person! This person has brilliant thoughts, so let’s wait and see! If he pa.s.ses my test, I can give him a chance to make a comeback!” Li Xiaoran shook her head and insisted on her previous idea.

Luo Cheng didn’t say anything. Anyway, Li Xiaoran had her own unique way of judging people.

It wasn’t just that she could empathize with others and hear their thoughts, but that she had her own way of judging them.

Therefore, he didn’t have to interfere too much. He only needed to remind Li Xiaoran occasionally and let her do whatever she wanted.

Perhaps this could help him recruit more capable people!

Zhong Xiaoping was bedridden for three days before he could finally get out of bed.

After lying in the house for so long, Zhong Xiaoping felt a little suffocated, so he went to his courtyard to sit for a while when the weather was good.

Zhong Xiaoping didn’t tell his family that his mentor had tricked him.

The fewer people who knew about this, the better.. Moreover, his family could not help much, so he could only resolve it himself!
