Chapter 518: Chapter 518: God’s Soul is Upside Down_1 Chapter 518: Chapter 518: God’s Soul is Upside Down_1 “What brings Miss Shi here on the east wind?”
Shi Ying didn’t take his sarcasm personally, now she knows where Bei Jiang went, who cares about anything else.
“I came to tell you, I am headed to the Imperial City.”
“Why the sudden plan to go to the Imperial City?”
” Bei Jiang is there.” Shi Ying crossed her arms and heaved a self-deprecating sigh, “We first met in the Imperial City, how did I not think that he would return there!”
An obscure, gloomy light flashed through Li Chi’s eyes, in fact, he had guessed that Huo Beijiang went to the Imperial City, he just hadn’t told Shi Ying yet.
“Thank you for this matter, I owe you a favor.”
Li Chi stepped forward, grabbing Shi Ying’s wrist in a grip. His eyes were grim, even Shi Ying, with her strong mental quality, was terrified.
“Let go of me, what are you trying to do?”
Leaning close to Shi Ying, with his nose nearly touching hers, Li Chi said menacingly, “Is what I did for you just as simple as owing you a favor? Putting it nicely, I disregarded Huo Beijiang’s orders, more bluntly, I betrayed him.”
“How can that be betrayal?” Shi Ying, clearly annoyed, furrowed her brows, “You just said you didn’t know!”
“Li Chi! Where did you pick up this naivety?” Shi Ying taunted. “As I recall you never were a good man, are you now concerned with military discipline?”
Shi Ying forcefully pulled her hand from Li Chi’s grasp, subtly stepping back to widen the gap between the two. She casually remarked, “He’s just a country bumpkin, the fact that I said I owe you a favor is already giving you face. I’ve said it before, I can’t even be bothered to see such a person. She’s not even worthy to be my love rival, I only feel soiled in her presence.”
“Heh heh…” Li Chi sneered, “you really don’t understand Huo Beijiang.” She doesn’t know what he has done for her, what price he has had to pay.
Li Chi watched Shi Ying critically, feeling that he must have been blinded, how else could he have gotten so besotted by her!
“Miss, you didn’t find your man, did you?” The shopkeeper had been discreetly eavesdropping when Nan Fei was on the phone. Noticing her expression changed dramatically after the call, he ventured a guess.
“He might just be busy, don’t overthink.”
“Thank you. How much was it?”
“Let me check the duration.”
Nan Fei moved a few steps back, making room for the shopkeeper, who checked the length of her call. She paid for it and took a three-wheel truck. It was relatively easy to hire general workers in the nineties, but finding someone for an important position like an accountant was a challenge.
Since money was involved, more caution was necessary.
Before finding a dedicated accountant, it’s best to engage a professional financial company.
She hardly knew anything about the county, having rarely visited in her past life. After leaving Qi Li Town, she immediately joined the army and followed Huo Beijiang to the provincial city. In the 1990s, professional financial firms were scarce, most of the accounting work was handled by retired accountants.
Nan Fei went around the county in a three-wheel truck and finally found a modest accounting firm near the county government.
Entering the office, prepared only to have a look, she found it quite small, with three desks cluttered with account books and accounting vouchers. Metal cabinets lined the walls, likely used for storing the accounting documentation.
A young girl, sporting a ponytail, greeted her with a smile.
“Are you here to see someone or to handle some business?” Given the tiny size of the firm and the limited number of employees, she quickly dismissed the idea that Nan Fei might be looking for someone here. So, she made a joke of it and laughed.
When the girl laughed, a pair of cute little sharp canines shone impressively.
