Chapter 74 Boss Zhen
"Hey, isn't this the Zhou Accounting Room? Why are you here?"

Zhou Heng raised his head, his eyes lingered on the man's face for a moment, and he asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

"Don't you remember me?" The man shook the folding fan in his hand, and the gold-inlaid jade ring on his hand glowed dazzlingly in the sun.

Zhou Heng frowned and recalled for a moment, he really couldn't remember when he had met such a wealthy man.

Seeing that Zhou Heng couldn't remember it, the man reminded him: "My surname is Zhen, and I am in the silk business. Six years ago, when I came to Nanxing County to discuss business with the Liu family, I met Zhou's accountant. At that time, I brought the accountant here. The money was wrong, Accountant Zhou knew it right away, Accountant Zhou, did you forget it?"

Zhou Heng recalled it carefully again, and it seemed that such a thing had happened, but it had been a long time and he couldn't remember the details at that time.

"At that time, I was thinking that it would be great if a powerful accountant like Accountant Zhou would be willing to help me. However, at that time, I was in a cooperative relationship with the Liu family, and it was really difficult to poach their accountant, so I had to leave it at that."

The middle-aged man said, patted Zhou Heng's shoulder intimately, and said: "It's better to meet by chance than to invite. Since we are destined to meet here, why don't I treat Zhou Heng to a drink at the bar?"

Zhou Heng glanced at the door of Liuguang Pavilion, then at the casual Boss Zhen in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and agreed to his invitation.

At the wine table, Boss Zhen poured wine for Zhou Heng while chatting with him: "Is Accountant Zhou still working as an accountant in the Liu family?"

Zhou Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, the Liu family has found a new accounting office. Naturally, my former accounting office is a bit of an eyesore..."

Boss Zhen watched Zhou Heng drink the wine in his glass and refill it for him. He said with some indignation: "Isn't this the Liu family's attempt to kill the donkey? You have been their accountant for so many years, and they just found a new accountant." It’s too much to not want you anymore.”

"Alas!" Zhou Heng sighed and said in a helpless tone, "I can't help it. Who makes everyone have a big business, rich and powerful, but I am just a small accountant with mediocre abilities."

Boss Zhen shook his head, "Accountant Zhou is too self-effacing. If your ability is mediocre, then the accountant next to me is the most idiot among idiots."

After listening to Boss Zhen's words, Zhou Heng became more confident about his new thoughts, "Boss Zhen, thank you for your praise. I am just more careful. I have worked in the accounting office for a long time, so I have enough experience. Boss Zhen The accountant around me will definitely be better than me if he trains for a few more years."

"I don't have the time to train them slowly. Now my business is getting bigger and bigger, and I urgently need a reliable accountant around me."

Boss Zhen looked at Zhou Heng and said, "Are you interested in helping me, Accountant Zhou? Our Zhen family's accountant receives five taels of silver every month. Not only does it pay dividends at the end of each year, but we also have basic necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation." The Zhen family is all-inclusive.”

"If Accountant Zhou is willing to work with me, if nothing else, he can get at least this amount in a year." Boss Zhen gave Zhou Heng a gesture of one hundred taels.

Zhou Heng's eyes widened in shock. He could only earn fifteen taels of silver a year working in the Liu family's accounting office, but Boss Zhen could give him a hundred taels of silver.

This, this is too much, right?
Boss Zhen looked at Zhou Heng's expression and said with a smile: "I think Accountant Zhou is very capable and that's why you are willing to give him so much money. If you were an ordinary person, I wouldn't be able to give you such a high monthly salary, but there is one thing I want to tell Accountant Zhou in advance. Okay, our Zhen family’s properties are all in Songshan Mansion, if Accountant Zhou follows me, we will have to move our family to Songshan Mansion.”

Zhou Heng hesitated for a moment after hearing this. Songshan Mansion was far away from them in Nanxing County, but thinking of the treatment given to him by Boss Zhen, Zhou Heng made up his mind again.

Life is not life anywhere, and his current reputation cannot be held high in the village anyway, so he might as well follow Boss Zhen to Songshan Mansion. Just when Zhou Heng was about to speak, Boss Zhen raised his hand and stopped him, "There is no need for Accountant Zhou to give me an answer now. I have to stay in Nanxing County for two days. If Accountant Zhou has considered it, he can come to Gaosheng Inn directly." That’s fine with me.”

Zhou Heng had no choice but to swallow what he said and continued drinking with Boss Zhen.

After drinking, Zhou Heng didn't bother to bet on Zhou Ran anymore, and turned around and went back to Dakui Village.

The Zhou family members already knew from Zhou Heng's mouth yesterday that he had found Zhou Ran. Now seeing Zhou Heng come back with a red face and smell of alcohol, they all responded excitedly, "How is it? Did that bitch promise to you? ?”

"That bitch didn't show up at all today. She is just a white-eyed wolf. If I had known she would be so unfilial, I should have strangled her to death when she was born."

Zhou Heng cursed a few words, waved his hands in the disappointed eyes of the Zhou family, and said with some pride: "Forget it, let me not talk about that unfilial daughter, I will tell you a happy event."

"What happy event?"

"What happy events can happen to our family now?"

Zhou Heng glanced at the faces of everyone in the family and said very proudly: "Today I met a businessman in the county town that I knew before. He is from Songshan Prefecture. He has always admired me and invited me after he knew that I was no longer working in the Liu family. Songshan Mansion serves as his accountant."

When Su heard this, she immediately asked anxiously: "Where is Songshan Mansion? What will we do if you leave?"

Although Zhou Heng and Mrs. Su had been quarreling a lot during this period, Zhou Heng still had feelings for Mr. Su. Hearing this, he said: "Of course you went with me. Boss Zhen said that as long as I agree, not only will With a monthly salary of five taels of silver, he will also cover all the food, clothing, housing and transportation.”

"Why do you have to go to Songshan Prefecture? Can't you stay in Nanxing County?" Mrs. Zheng didn't want to go to a place she was unfamiliar with when she was old.

"Mom, Boss Zhen's properties are all in Songshan Mansion. If I work as his accountant, I will definitely follow him to Songshan Mansion." After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he looked at everyone in the room impatiently and said, "Whoever doesn't You can stay here if you want to go, I will definitely go anyway."

Zhou Siqi didn't say anything, because he felt that Zhou Heng and Su had done something embarrassing that had harmed him. But if he could leave here and go to a place where no one knew them, he could be a superior scholar again. Naturally, he would not object to leaving with Zhou Heng.

Zhou Ying touched her belly and felt a little confused. If she could marry into the Qin Mansion, she would definitely not want to leave, but would she still have a chance to marry into the Qin Mansion?

Lin was the only one who said resolutely: "I won't go."

Zhou Heng and Mr. Lin have been quarreling a lot recently. Hearing Mr. Lin say this, his eyes stayed on Ms. Lin for a moment and said coldly: "If you don't want to go, just stay."

Mrs. Lin was secretly happy, thinking that she would go find Zhou Ran the next day. Without the Zhou family, she did not believe that Zhou Ran would ignore her as her own mother.
