Chapter 443: Contest (6)_1
"Fine, I will tell him right away." Lou Zheng couldn’t wait to deliver the news to Ma Dalang, eager to see how upset he would be when he heard it.
When Ma Dalang got the news, he was so happy that his eyes were narrowed into slits. Assessment, heh, not boasting, but when it comes to accounting, even the Store Manager is not as good as him. Could the country bumpkins of the Lin Family stand a chance against him?
The news that Ma Dalang wants to apply for the manager position at Lin house through an assessment has quickly spread throughout the village.
"If Ma Dalang really becomes the manager of Lin Family, we are screwed." Zhou Dasheng said while frowning.
"He can win only in his dreams." Zhou Ming said disdainfully, "The Lin family’s accounting method is effective. Who does he think he is, this Ma Dalang?"
"Don’t underestimate Ma Dalang, he has been a second Shopkeeper in the city for over ten years. He does have some skills." Little Mrs. Pang was also somewhat worried. She had quarreled with Mrs. Yan twice and had become sworn enemies. If Ma Dalang became the manager, could the Zhou Family still have peaceful days?
"What are you all panicking for." Mrs. Pang glared coldly at her son and grandson, "The workshop belongs to the Lin surname, not the Ma, look at you, your lack of nerve."
Yes, no matter what, as long as they curry favour with the Lin Family, what have they to fear from the Ma Family doing anything? Little Mrs. Pang and Zhou Dasheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Ming and Zhou Fa, however, just shook their heads at their parents. This month, they worked as temporary workers at the Lin family house, and at night, they also secretly followed the young people in the village to learn. At first, they were just curious, and they found writing and arithmetic quite magical. After studying for a few nights, though, the two brothers actually started learning some things. At the very least, they easily picked up simple calculations.
