Far away in Moscow

Chapter 184
"No way?" Sun Shoutian closed his eyes and thought for a while, then replied decisively: "Impossible, I have recorded all the money in the backlog of goods, and I have not missed a single ruble."

"Really?" Fu Jiahui raised his legs leisurely: "You told the family that you disposed of sixteen packages. This is what my uncle told me himself. It should be correct, right?"

"That's right. Strange, what's going on?" Sun Shoutian rolled his eyes, took out his key, opened the drawer of the table in front of him, took out the account book from a pile of old newspapers, and flipped through a few pages: "Oh! I probably made a mistake in the record at the time. Yes. You see, although the number of pieces is written as sixteen packages, the corresponding account is 34 yuan, which happens to be seventeen packages.”

Fu Jiahui took the account book with a sullen face and glanced at it, and it was indeed the same as what Sun Shoutian said.He sneaked a glance at Hu Yi who was bewildered, frowned and muttered: "This...so it was just a typo? But you also told Uncle sixteen pieces, right? Could it be that you said something wrong?"

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that I have to ask Hu Yi to help me prove my innocence." Sun Shoutian calmly pointed at Hu Yi: "He is a gentleman, he doesn't want to take advantage of his boss, he always feels embarrassed. So I made an agreement with him not to tell the story of his purchase. Hu Yi, you said, is that right?"

Hu Yi nodded numbly: "That's right, that's right."

Sun Shoutian sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect such a small thought to cause such a big misunderstanding. It's all my own fault and lack of consideration. Jiahui, you must not blame Hu Yi."

"Huh? It's... that's the case." Fu Jiahui was a little confused for a moment, staring at him and muttering with a smile: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, it seems... I wrongly blamed you?"

"It's a shame to say that. You are the boss. If you find any suspicious signs, you should ask them clearly. I have absolutely no complaints." Sun Shoutian put one hand on his chest and pressed the other hand on the account book: "Everything I handle A sum of money is clearly recorded in the account, if you still have doubts, you can call home to verify the remittance amount of the day to see if it matches."

"That's not necessary, that's not necessary." Fu Jiahui tried his best to hide his embarrassment and confusion: "I don't know much about your process of dealing with overstocked goods, but today I accidentally found out that other people's purchase prices are different from what you said. So I asked casually."

"It's okay, I completely understand, after all, you and your father have not trusted me very much these years." Sun Shoutian smiled slightly: "But even if there are some misunderstandings between us that cannot be resolved temporarily, please believe me, Sun Shoutian, to your uncle, She has always been sincere to the whole Mengxuanna, without any second thoughts."

"Yes, yes." The situation suddenly became very passive, and Fu Jiahui casually agreed twice, turning his face away and sighing: "Then this matter..."

"Hey, wait a minute." Hu Yi suddenly remembered something, got up and came to the two of them: "Sorry, I have to say something more. The account book shows sixteen packages, and it sold for 34 rubles?"

"That's right." Fu Jiahui pushed the ledger in front of him: "Judging from the amount, it is indeed seventeen bags. It should be that Morita made a mistake."

"That's all? Quanhui is gone?"

"Of course. Do you suspect that I embezzled the money?" Sun Shoutian carelessly lifted his swollen eyelids: "I told Jiahui just now that if you have any problems, you can go to the family to reconcile the account."

"There is indeed a problem." Hu Yi lowered his head and glanced at the account book: "There is no need to reconcile the account with the family. Based on a pack of 34 rubles, the [-] packs are indeed [-], but I will collect it with you that day I charged an extra [-] rubles when paying the bill, so it doesn't seem to be included?"

"...Huh? What [-] rubles?!" Sun Shoutian was stunned for a moment, the dismissive expression on his face gradually froze, his brows slowly tightened, and thin beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"You forgot? How about the three of us go to the boss and ask?"

"No, how could you forget?" Sun Shoutian laughed twice: "I remembered it when you said that, it seems that there is such a thing."

Hu Yi ignored him, and lowered his head to settle the accounts: "The eight packs received 18 rubles, and you sold another eight packs later, so let's count it as 16, which is 34. Plus Take the bag I took, that should be..."

"It should be 36." Fu Jiahui immediately recovered his composure and composure, and took over Hu Yi's words: "That is to say, not only is the amount written wrong in this account book, but also the amount is wrong, right?"

"What... what's going on here?" Sun Shoutian met Fu Jiahui's gaze directly: "There must be something wrong."

"Huh? Where?"

"Yes, where is it?" Sun Shoutian lowered his head and put his hand on his forehead: "Let me think about it, let me think about it."

"Don't worry, think about it slowly." Fu Jiahui crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, and quietly glanced at Hu Yi, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sun Shoutian pondered for more than ten seconds with a bitter face, and then patted the table lightly: "Ah, I remembered. Actually, I'm not sure if Hu Yi really took the package at that time."

"You're not sure?"

"Yeah, I just told him 'take it if you want it'. But when I left, it was still in the warehouse, and I didn't see him take it, so, just... I didn't write it down. "

Fu Jiahui slowly shook his head and stared at him: "Old Sun, this is different from what you just said."

"Different?" Sun Shoutian looked surprised: "What's different?"

"You just said that because Hu Yi is an upright gentleman, you didn't write the bag he took away on the account because you were afraid that he would be embarrassed."

"This—" Sun Shoutian only hesitated for a moment, and then smiled calmly: "Is this not contradictory? What I said just now...is a subjective reason, and this is an objective reason. In short, it is a combination of various factors that lead to my Either intentionally or unintentionally, the account was misrecorded."

"Okay, okay, whatever you want." Fu Jiahui reached out to him impatiently: "Where's the money for the package? Where did it go?"

"What money?" Sun Shoutian looked at him inexplicably, then turned to look at Hu Yi: "You never gave me any money!"

"What did you say?" Hu Yi was stunned: "Why didn't I give it to you? I gave it to you that afternoon!"

"How is it possible?!" Sun Shoutian was shocked and aggrieved: "Hu Yi! This kind of thing is not easy to joke about! I, Sun Shoutian, have worked for their old Fu family for so many years, and I have always been conscientious and innocent. , don’t talk nonsense if there is no basis!”

"What? No basis?!" Hu Yi was stunned by his level of nonsense, and was about to refute, but Fu Jiahui said first: "OK, OK, Shoutian, don't fight. Let me ask first: Hu Yi Lai Huo happened a week ago, and you said he didn't pay, so why didn't you ask him for money during this period?"

"I didn't ask him for money? That's because... oh." Sun Shoutian sighed: "You asked me a moment ago, my mind was a little messed up, and now I just figured out the cause and effect."

"Is it clear? Let's talk about it then."

"I asked Hu Yi to take a bag of goods to go to retail for his girlfriend. He is a poor student, [-] rubles is not a small amount of money, right? So I asked him to go back and pay back the money First, I didn’t plan to rush to collect it at all.” Sun Shoutian smiled at Hu Yi sincerely: “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Since Jiahui asked, you should quickly make up the money.”

"Bullshit!" Hu Yi was furious: "I sold the goods at the time, and I gave you the money when I came back! It's right at the door of the box! How dare you deny it?!"

"Be careful with what you say, and don't hurt people." Sun Shoutian straightened his face: "It's not a matter of daring or not. It's nothing at all. What do you want me to admit?"

"Damn, you are really shameless!" Hu Yi laughed angrily, and walked to the door of the box a few steps: "I gave you the money here that day, we just said a few words, Qianzhuang The people who came here, dare your grandson say it?!"

"Absolutely not! Hu Yi, the two of us have no grievances or enmity, why do you maliciously slander me for [-] rubles?" Sun Shoutian said in a solemn and dignified voice: "Jiahui, you must believe me. I, Sun Shoutian I swear to God, I have never taken a ruble from Hu Yi!"

Fu Jiahui groaned for a while, from the point of view of emotion and intuition, he must be willing to believe what Hu Yi said.But Sun Shoutian categorically denied it and spoke conclusively, and both sides insisted on their own opinions, which made it difficult for him to make a convincing judgment in a fair manner.

"He said he did, but you said he didn't. In this case..." Fu Jiahui was just hesitating to settle the matter, when he suddenly heard someone outside the box yelling: "Damn it! Xiao Hu gave you a wad of money with his own hands that day, you And counted it in front of him! I saw it with my own eyes!"

The three of them looked out together, only to see Uncle Yu with his hands on his hips, his small body showing a majestic presence, standing outside the door furiously and glaring at Sun Shoutian: "I heard it from the side! Jiahui! You don't want to?" Believe in that dog's nonsense!"

Hu Yi was overjoyed, and Sun Shoutian turned pale with shock.Fu Jiahui glanced at them both, and hurried out of the box: "Uncle Yu, did you see it with your own eyes? What happened that day?"

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes! Otherwise, Uncle, will I tell you nonsense?" Uncle Yu danced excitedly: "I came out of the box with the people from the bank that day, and I happened to see Xiao Hu holding money in his hand— —Hey, I don't know what that money is, but I heard him say it was 'the money for the package', and I heard the dog named Sun say 'don't worry'!"

Fu Jiahui looked coldly at the ashen-faced Sun Shoutian, and continued to ask, "And then?"

"I heard Xiao Hu said something like 'I've sold it, and I made a fortune'. Then the people from the bank went to find them!"

"You saw that Sun Shoutian took the money from Hu Yi, didn't you?"

"It's absolutely true! I saw him counting the money with my own eyes!" Uncle Yu pointed at Sun Shoutian angrily and cursed: "I knew this ghostly guy was not a good guy at first sight! How about it! Don't confront uncle! I can call the people from the bank to testify!"
