At that moment, the middle-aged man who spoke first stood up.
I think Im probably the one whos leaving! I understand. Ill leave now! Li Xiaoran looked at this man, but didnt speak.
Just as the man reached the door, Zi Cheng walked out and stopped him.
Its not you. Go back and sit down!
When the man heard Zi Chengs words, his eyes were filled with surprise. Then, he turned to look at Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran nodded with a smile and affirmed Zi Chengs words.
The middle-aged mans eyes turned red, then moistened as he returned to his seat.
Now, the others were anxious.
Because they thought that the person who would leave was this middle-aged man, but now that they were sure that it wasnt him, who could it be?
In the end, Li Xiaoran asked someone to bring a few bamboo pieces over. Then, she whispered a few words to Zi Zheng and sent the bamboo pieces to the remaining four people.
After you get the bamboo piece, the four of you can leave! Go there and wait according to the instructions on the bamboo piece later!
The four of them looked at the bamboo pieces in their hands, then left.
After five minutes, Li Xiaoran asked Zi Zheng to bring the middle-aged man and the female bookkeeper to another place, then pick up the remaining three people and settle them down.
As for Li Xiaoran, Shu Ruyue, and Zi Cheng, they went to the sliced noodles and waited for the person who was eliminated.
This person was none other than the young man who said that he had been suppressed by his mentor.
When the young man saw Li Xiaoran, he finally asked his question.
Why me? Im very capable! the young man asked anxiously. Li Xiaoran didnt answer him. Instead, she looked at Li Xiaoqing.
Xiao Qing, serve the bowl of noodles!
Xiao Qing agreed and served the sliced noodles.
Li Xiaoran pointed at the bowl of hot knife-cut noodles in front of her and said with a smile, You havent eaten yet, right?! Hurry up and sit down. You can only have the energy to listen to me after youre full!
When the young man heard this, he was stunned.
At this moment, he felt a lump in his throat. He sat down, then picked up his chopsticks and ate the noodles.
However, as he ate, tears fell.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran took out a white handkerchief and handed it over.
If your tears fall into your food, it wont be good for your health! If your elders were here and saw this, they would teach you a lesson!
More tears appeared in the mans eyes, but this time, he didnt let them fall into the bowl. Instead, he tilted his head and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
He didnt use the handkerchief Li Xiaoran gave him. Instead, he pushed it back silently.
Thats not good! If your handkerchief falls into the hands of others, it will cause you trouble! The young man explained as he wiped his tears.
When Li Xiaoran heard his words, she laughed even more happily. Then stop crying! After you finish your noodles, Ill tell you about your future!
How can I have a future? The young man looked at Li Xiaoran, as if he was asking for confirmation!
Li Xiaoran nodded and said, Of course you do. Youre still young, so your life is still ahead of you!
When the young man heard Li Xiaorans words, he nodded and picked up his chopsticks to eat in big mouthfuls.
Soon, the bowl of noodles was finished, even the soup.
After ones stomach was full, one would feel at ease and satisfied.
I know youre very good at accounting. The reason I dont need you is because I want you to go back and settle your own matters first! You learned how to account from your mentor, but youre leaving just like that? What if your mentor finds your family? What will your family suffer? Think about it carefully. After you acknowledged him as your mentor, did you press your handprint on anything? Li Xiaoran reminded.
When the young man heard Li Xiaorans words, he recalled carefully and nodded. Handprint? Yes, when I just became my mentors disciple, my mentor asked us to sign something with my handprint on it!
Thats right. Can you read? Li Xiaoran thought for a moment before asking again.
The young man nodded and said, I can recognize most words. As bookkeepers, if we cant read, we might get fooled!
Li Xiaoran reminded, Thats good! If I were you, I suggest you go back and take a closer look at what you stamped on to see whats written on it! If you become someone elses bookkeeper without your mentors permission, perhaps you Il nave to compensate your mentor.
The young man was a smart person. When he heard Li Xiaorans words, his expression changed.
Because he remembered something.
Not long after he became his mentors disciple, he saw a man kneeling on the ground and begging his mentor to let him off.
In the end, his mentor only said, Ive always been on guard against you guys in case you guys betrayed me! Thats why I kept this trick up my sleeve! As expected, you guys became too big for your britches! Now, its too late to regret it. Just wait for retribution!
Curious, he asked about it, but his mentor only said,
Just learn from me and do whatever I ask you to do!
At that time, he naively thought that that person had done something to let his mentor down. Now, it seemed that might not be the case.
Thinking of what he had experienced over the years, the young man immediately understood something.
Thank you for your guidance, Madam. I think I understand! However, Madam, please teach me! If such a request is really written in the thing I pressed my fingerprint on, what should I do?
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she didnt give him a specific solution.
Actually, you know what to do! Everything has to be resolved from the root! When the young man heard Li Xiaorans words, he pondered over it.
After a while, the young man stood up and bowed to Li Xiaoran three times.
Thank you for your guidance, Madam! I, Zhong Xiaoping, cant thank you enough! After I settle my matters, I wonder if I can still be the bookkeeper?
Li Xiaoran didnt give him an answer. She only said,
As long as were fated!
Zhong Xiaoping left. He already knew what he wanted to do.
After leaving Hele Villages official road, Zhong Xiaoping rushed back to White Foothill City.
However, he didnt go home or to his mentors place. Instead, he secretly found someone he was familiar with to ask about the disciples his mentor had taken in previously..
