Chapter 165 Another One Left
"I didn't say you cooked the accounts." Song Qingci put the account book of Langyue Bookstore back to its original place.
This Liu Zhipeng indeed did not falsify the accounts, and she had someone check him in advance.
The operating conditions of Langyue Bookstore are indeed consistent with what is described in the account books.
Liu Zhipeng neither falsified accounts nor made any profit from it.
He simply did nothing.
The General's Mansion treated these shopkeepers with an annual salary similar to modern times.
Every year, no matter whether the shop makes a profit or not, or how much profit it makes, the shopkeeper gets a fixed salary, guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood.
So, except for the first two years when Liu Zhipeng paid some attention, he gradually became less and less interested.
Moreover, even if the shop's profits were not good, her mother-in-law would not blame her, so Liu Zhipeng became more and more courageous over the years.
As long as the annual account book is profitable, the shop can continue to operate.
There is no such thing as running a business well.
Liu Zhipeng likes to listen to operas and sing songs in private, and he spends most of his time on this.
Human energy is limited. If it is used here, it will definitely be gone there.
Therefore, Langyue Bookstore has become its current half-dead state.
Liu Zhipeng thought for a long time and finally came up with a plausible explanation.
He put the paper with the shipment record of Qingsong Bookstore on the table, looked at Song Qingci and said, "Madam, this business cannot be generalized. Although they are both bookstores, the scale of Qingsong Bookstore is more than twice that of Langyue Bookstore. Therefore, it is normal for them to have such a business."
"So, you are still incompetent!" Song Qingci didn't want to give Liu Zhipeng any face.
"As far as I know, Qingsong Bookstore was opened seven years ago, while our Langyue Bookstore has been open for more than ten years. He, a later-comer, can open a larger business than you, who came earlier. What does this prove? It can only prove that you, the shopkeeper, are incompetent!"
Although Song Qingci had never done business in his previous life, just because he had never eaten pork did not mean he had never seen pigs run.
What's more, the business environment in China in the previous life was many times better than that in Dachen. There were only businesses you couldn't think of, and businesses that everyone would not do.
Various business wars emerged one after another, and she used to watch them as fun.
After watching various high-end games, she really didn't take those from Dachen Kingdom seriously.
Being mercilessly challenged by Song Qingci, Liu Zhipeng felt that he had lost face.
His old face turned red, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't utter a word.
The other shopkeepers felt very complicated when they saw Shopkeeper Liu falling into such an embarrassing situation.
This was a dilemma they had never faced since they became shopkeepers.
Song Qingci's impoliteness not only embarrassed Liu Zhipeng, but also the other shopkeepers.
"Since the young lady thinks that Mr. Liu is incompetent, please ask someone else to help." Liu Zhipeng also has a temper. He was humiliated by Song Qingci's words, so he could only learn from Manager Li.
He just didn't believe that without him, the new young lady who was in charge of the family could really stir up any trouble!
"Okay, I'll ask someone to hand over to Shopkeeper Liu tomorrow. I hope Shopkeeper Liu can cooperate." Song Qingci was not afraid at all.
She would definitely get rid of people like this who are just taking up space and doing nothing.
Since he said so himself, that's perfect.
In the end, Liu Zhipeng just walked away, just like the shopkeeper Li before him.
But Song Qingci had no intention of trying to keep him.
The atmosphere in this meeting room became even more subtle.
