“But manager, why did you give it to her so easily? The person paying the rent is so difficult. Every year, you have to go to the Miao Family to borrow a few guards to successfully receive the money. This year, why…?” Dugu Xiyuan’s subordinate was puzzled.
Dugu Xiyuan’s expression was very calm. “What do you know? This is called putting her in her place. Isn’t Missy powerful? She hasn’t arrived yet. Those people who know the news are already looking forward to her. I was also looking forward to it, but I didn’t expect that, after so long, the main family was clearly fooling her. If she really had some strength, how could she not have a single guard? Isn’t she powerful? I’ll see how she can handle the situation tomorrow!”
“That bar owner is not so easy to deal with.” The subordinate finally understood and smiled. “He has guards behind him.”
Dugu Xiyuan returned to his chair. “Show her everything, especially those account books.”
The subordinate knew what Dugu Xiyuan meant and nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. “Manager, that black-robed man beside Miss Su doesn’t seem to be easily provoked.”
The subordinate wanted to speak but hesitated. When he spoke, he recalled Yu Shijin’s cold eyes. It made one feel suffocated.
He grew a little fearful.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xiyuan’s eyes flashed with fear as well, but he quickly recovered. “Alright, how can there be anyone not to be trifled with? If the friends beside her are really not to be trifled with, would they still come here? Just follow my instructions.”
The subordinate thought about it and felt that it made sense. He immediately took out all the accounts for the past few years, as well as all the major and minor matters.
“Xiao Ba, right? The manager asked me to give these things to Miss Su.” The guard found Xiao Ba. He was not as powerful as Xiao Ba and naturally could not feel the spirit energy in Xiao Ba’s body. He thought that Xiao Ba was just an ordinary person.
Thus, he casually instructed.
Yu Han actually caught up with Xiao Ba and Lu Zhenzhen to teach them how to play Fight the Landlord. Upon hearing this, they patted their sleeves and stood up. “Alright, just give it to me.”
He had just reached out when Dugu Xiyuan’s subordinate retracted his hand. He looked at Xiao Ba with a faint smile. “Sorry, these are the Dugu Family’s secrets. Ordinary people can’t touch them. I need to personally hand them to Miss Su.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Han—who was sitting on the ground—rolled his eyes. What kind of Dugu Family secrets could there be in this lousy place? He might not even be embarrassed to return them if he took them.
Xiao Ba glanced at the subordinate and said in good nature, “Go in, lest I have to make a trip.”
He opened the door and let the subordinate in. He didn’t look angry at all and continued playing with Yu Yan and the rest.
That subordinate glanced at a group of people who had lost their will to a game and couldn’t help but shake his head.
However, when he saw Su Huiqing, his expression turned serious again. No matter what Dugu Xiyuan did, Su Huiqing was his master. Thus, he could not disrespect her. He just respectfully placed a bunch of notepads on the table. “Miss Su, here are the things you requested.”
Su Huiqing casually took out a book and casually flipped through it. In just a few minutes, she flipped through it from start to finish before throwing it aside and flipping through another book.
After flipping through two to three books, she shook her head slightly.
The subordinate looked at her strangely and went back to tell Dugu Xiyuan. “What do you think she did? She just flipped through a few pages of those account books. Then, her guard asked her where to place them. She said that the guard could place it wherever he wanted. Miss Su had already finished reading it. You said that such a thick account book could be finished so quickly? You don’t even need to write a draft to brag.”
