Chapter 459: Losses (1)_1
Shameless, truly shameless! This was the thought running through the minds of all the villagers at this moment.
The Lin Family had many workshops, which produces various kinds of goods, so naturally, countless merchants came to purchase them. Such a thriving business was indeed a great responsibility to the shopkeeper of the accounting department, and it definitely had desirable perks. No one would dare tamper with the books because Lin Ziyin, the current head of the Lin Family who was an expert in handling finances, probably had more skills than all other accountants combined. Secondly, most of the accountants employed by the Lin Family were purchased through ironclad contracts, so they were reliable.
However, the shopkeepers of the accounting department could not gain benefits from the books, but they could accept gifts from merchants as part of business courtesies. This rule was tacitly endorsed by Lin Ziyin.
Thinking about the hustle and bustle of the Lin Family’s trade every day, one could perceive the perkiness of the shopkeeper’s position. Many villagers envied such an important position but didn’t have a way to acquire it, and Ma Dalang, who always had a strained relationship with the Lin Family, incredibly aspired to land the role of the accounting shopkeeper in one step? All the villagers thought that Ma Dalang had made the biggest joke of the year in Shili Village.
Ma Dalang didn’t think he had done anything disgraceful and was very confident in himself. After all, he had been a secondary shopkeeper in the city for over a decade. His abilities in accounting, and handling matters, were unquestionably much stronger than those of the villagers in Shili.
In a certain sense, Ma Dalang and Ma Zhicai were very alike, both being incredibly narcissistic.
Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou were nearly infuriated to death. They wanted to kick the Ma Family out so much that it was out of their sight, out of their mind.
However, Lin Ziyin gave Ma Dalang a chance, "Alright, since everyone is present, and it’s not time to start work, I’ll give you a chance."
