Chapter 164 Gu Baoxia Becomes an Accountant
Chapter 164 Gu Baoxia Becomes an Accountant
Ha ha!
Hehehe!
Lu Yuanqing was utterly speechless.
Putting everything else aside, there were several people competing with him for the position of village accountant.
Alternatively, there's Gu Hailiang from the Gu family, who also wanted to be an accountant.
but!
Zhao Zhongcai directly chose Gu Baoxia this time.
He even patted his chest and said that he hadn't given him any face.
face!
Hahaha!
Lu Yuanqing almost laughed.
"Isn't she the village's scorekeeper now?" Lu Yuanqing sighed.
"Oh, this one!" Zhao Zhongcai said, "Her second brother is the scorekeeper now!"
What Lu Yuanqing didn't know was that Gu Baoxia had also become the village's scorekeeper based on her own abilities.
But her mother kept insisting that Gu Baoxia give the scorekeeper job to Gu Hailiang.
Gu Baoxia is a woman of her own mind, but no matter how capable she is, she is still a young woman and has to be under Tian Xiaoju's control.
If it weren't for Zhao Zhongcai's coincidence in wanting to find an accounting assistant for Lu Yuanqing, Gu Baoxia wouldn't have been able to stay in her position as a scorekeeper for long.
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
"Uh, isn't the village secretary's grandson also trying to become an accountant?"
Did Xia Yongshou just let this opportunity slip by?
impossible!
Zhao Zhongcai waved his hand dismissively, "Who can we blame? I went to the commune specifically to get a few test papers this time. It was a public exam, and Xia did well, but Gu Baoxia got the highest score."
Therefore, Gu Baoxia got in through her own merit, which was open and fair, and no one can say anything about it.
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
"Hmm, this..."
Gu Baoxia had been listening quietly for a while, and she finally understood that Lu Yuanqing didn't want her to come.
To be honest, Lu Yuanqing's concern this time left her somewhat speechless.
Because, it seems that, given their current public relationship, she is the one who should be concerned.
As a result, she, a girl, didn't care, but Lu Yuanqing was so awkward.
However, this also shows that both Lu Yuanqing and she are dissatisfied with their current marriage.
"What are you trying to say?" Gu Baoxia glared at him, interrupting him.
Lu Yuanqing hissed, suddenly realizing that what he was doing was a bit inappropriate.
Although deep down he never wanted anything to do with Gu Baoxia, even though they were now engaged, they both tacitly agreed that the engagement would be dissolved sooner or later.
That's just how he is. He prefers to avoid people he doesn't like, or people with complicated relationships.
It's not fear, it's just awkwardness.
He himself is not good at handling such relationships, and it is easy for him to feel awkward.
But think about it, as Zhao Zhongcai said, Gu Baoxia got the job through her own ability. If he still acts like he doesn't welcome her and wants to replace her, Zhao Zhongcai might not understand, but he will stand on his side.
But wouldn't that be very unfair to Gu Baoxia?
Although Lu Yuanqing thought Gu Baoxia was cunning and a bit sharp-tongued, and they didn't get along at all, he couldn't let her hopes be dashed just because of his own reasons!
Tsk!
Lu Yuanqing smacked his lips and said, "Now that you're the village accountant, come and get busy!"
He's busy! He doesn't have that much time to waste on this.
If it feels awkward, then so be it!
Even if they weren't colleagues, their current relationship would be awkward if they met in the village.
Gu Baoxia then stopped arguing and got to work.
She actually knew nothing about accounting.
She was able to become an accountant because she was working on junior high school exam papers.
Moreover, Zhao Zhongcai's meaning was very clear: the village didn't originally need an accountant, but because there were too many things going on in the village now, Lu Yuanqing was too busy to handle them all, so they hired another one.
This was to tell her that if Lu Yuanqing hadn't needed someone to take action, she wouldn't have had this opportunity.
Moreover, Zhao Zhongcai explicitly told her that she was under Lu Yuanqing's jurisdiction, and Lu Yuanqing was her superior.
Gu Baoxia understood these meanings clearly, which is why she didn't say a word when Lu Yuanqing expressed his dislike for her.
She only spoke up after she could no longer bear it.
She didn't understand the need to keep accounts, and her accounts were rather vague.
However, Lu Yuanqing was not the kind of person to settle personal scores. He carefully explained what she needed to do before going about his own business.
Whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, she would always ask him directly, and Lu Yuanqing would tell her without reservation.
It has to be said that after following Lu Yuanqing around for a few days, Gu Baoxia realized just how busy Lu Yuanqing really was.
It seems like he's the one who handles all the bookkeeping and money-related matters in the village.
Especially during this period, I've been incredibly busy.
Such a capable and different Lu Yuanqing was truly an eye-opener for her.
He has really become so capable!
Was he this capable before?
Gu Baoxia paused, her hand holding the pen still. She seemed to have forgotten what Lu Yuanqing used to be like.
But she still remembered that the Lu Yuanqing of the past was someone she was satisfied with, someone who listened to everything she said. That Lu Yuanqing was very obedient, but also a bit silly.
Gu Baoxia liked people who were easy to control.
But everything has changed.
She can still recall the anger she felt when Lu Yuanqing threatened and extorted food from her for the sake of his children.
Then, around that time, she noticed that Lu Yuanqing had changed.
She became more opinionated and capable, and became a pillar of support for the Lu family children.
Even now, Lu Yuanqing is an indispensable figure for the entire Shihua Village.
He led them to a better life, where they received money and ate meat.
He must have other plans, plans that will make their lives better and better.
The villagers, especially the elderly, speak of him with words of praise, from the admiration of the middle-aged to the respect of the children.
It felt like a dream.
If it weren't for the fact that she was still Lu Yuanqing's fiancée, Gu Baoxia would probably treat Lu Yuanqing very well.
She was born into the Gu family, but deep down she felt a lot of resentment.
But no matter how unwilling she was, there was nothing she could do.
She wanted to escape that family, but she was also worried that in trying to escape the wolf's den, she might accidentally end up in the tiger's den.
She was actually in a lot of pain and didn't know how to describe it.
It's that frustrating feeling of understanding certain principles but being unable to change them.
So she told herself that even if she were to get married, she would find someone she could control.
She doesn't want to meet someone like her mother again.
Lu Yuanqing, uh, no! The Lu Yuanqing of the past was the best candidate she had chosen.
But now, the candidate needs to be changed.
How should she change it?
That damned Lu Yuanqing, why doesn't he take the initiative to break off the engagement?
what!
Lu Yuanqing stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him, who had stopped what he was doing, holding a pen and writing something.
Gu Baoxia met Lu Yuanqing's eyes, her expression shifting from confusion and bewilderment to annoyance, shock, and utter disbelief!
