My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 2690
2690 Waiting for the Results
“However, with so many accounts, this probably won’t be something that can be sorted out in one or two days…”
“It’s fine, this crown prince has plenty of manpower here,” the crown prince replied nonchalantly. With a wave of his hand, he called over the hundred or so accountants waiting outside the door.
This really stabbed Mu Jingfeng several hundred times in the chest!
Mu Jingfeng’s eyes were about to bulge out from their sockets.
Stubborn Head Cao’s expression was indifferent as he silently gave the crown prince a thumbs-up in his mind.
As expected of our crown prince, who had the connections and power. Well done!
He hated this kind of coward who monopolized his wife’s private assets the most. He didn’t know how to rely on himself and only had his eyes on his wife’s possessions. What kind of unambitious fellow was this family head of the Mu Clan!
Stubborn Head Cao looked down on Mu Jingfeng in his mind, but he still maintained an upright and plainspoken expression on his face. “Since His Highness the Crown Prince has already prepared the workforce, let’s start work as soon as possible! Even though there are a lot of account books during these ten plus years, we should still properly sort through them all. We have enough personnel.”
Lady Qiaoqiao was expressionless, but she gave Official Cao several dozen thumbs-up in her mind…
As expected, Official Cao was awesome. If she had known, she would have asked him to step in earlier so that she didn’t have to bicker with Mu Jingfeng all day.
“It’s been hard on Official Cao, thank you for your hard work.” Mu Jingfeng saw his unfilial daughter telling Stubborn Head Cao, “With so many people here, so we should be able to balance the books in one night. Let’s go to Magnolia Court for a drink to pass the time!”
“It has not been hard at all.” Official Cao was simply overwhelmed by this unexpected favor. He promptly nodded and said, “This official will naturally comply.”
Another several hundred knives stabbed into Mu Jingfeng’s chest. If vomiting blood was useful right now, he wanted to throw up a vat of blood.
This little bastard actually invited Stubborn Head Cao to eat and drink, planning to wait the whole night for the results???
This unfilial daughter!!
He had no way out at all now!
Qiao Mu beckoned to the chief accountant. “Do the math properly! Calculate accurately and I’ll treat you to snacks later. I’ll reward you with 10 times your stipend when you’re done!”
The crown prince consort was a nouveau riche!
The hundred plus accountants instantly gave wide smiles and nodded repeatedly. They said in unison, “Thank you, Crown Prince Consort. This humble one will definitely work hard to balance the books! This humble one will not betray the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Consort’s trust.”
Consequently, the interior of Liujin Court was lit up brightly, and the sound of clacking abacuses rang out nonstop the entire night!
These hundred plus accountants were the most skilled personnel in the capital. Apart from a portion that were under the crown prince’s wing, the rest were people the crown prince utilized his power to borrow from the various vassal kings’ estates and patrician families…
Everybody was thinking of making a mark in front of the crown prince and the crown prince consort. They were going to go all out to balance the books!
Apart from taking a short break and eating some snacks and tea, none of them closed their eyes at all that night. Their hands never stopped clacking their abacuses.
When it was 7 o’clock in the morning, all the account books from the past years had been sorted out clearly. They were neatly stacked to the side according to industry.
By the time Caixiu came to Magnolia Court to inform that the books had been balanced, Qiao Mu had just finished breakfast with Mo Lian, Mu Xingchen, and Official Cao. She very cheerfully followed Caixiu toward Liujin Court.
She had someone carry breakfast to Liujin Court, and she said with a stoic face upon entering, “Everyone has worked hard the whole night.”
“Everyone can first go to the sitting room to eat breakfast. Mister Xi, I will have to trouble you to stay.”
Mister Xi was the chief accountant and also one of Mo Lian’s people.
He bowed and naturally retreated to the crown prince’s side.
