At this moment, Liu Zhuangju knew that Shen Youxia was the real boss of Qixiang Pavilion, and he couldn't help but feel regretful for having deceived Shen Youxia earlier.

  But what made Liu Zhang more terrified than his repentance for past deeds was the question raised by Qiu Fen: where did the profits of Qi Xiang Ge go in recent years?

  He was not originally Shen Fuling's confidant, and it was only because of the high salary of the Qixiang Pavilion shopkeeper that he came to apply for the job and was left by Shen Fuling. Since he is not a confidant, there is no loyalty to speak of towards Shen Fuling. In times of great danger, people are all about preserving themselves first, let alone Liu Zhuang, who has been struggling in the business world since childhood and has been a shopkeeper for many years.

  "Your Highness, I really didn't know that the real owner of this incense pavilion was you. I always thought it was Shen Feiling, Young Master Shen. The account books and profits of the incense pavilion every month were all sent to Young Master Shen. I have records here to prove it."

  Liu Zhuangui ran to the account room in three strides, took out the account books of past years. They were as high as half a foot, and Liu Zhuangui surprisingly moved them all in front of Shen Youxia at once, then knelt down with a thud.

  "Your Highness, since I became the shopkeeper of Qixiang Pavilion, every single transaction has been clearly recorded, and there are accounts to be checked. You can go through them one by one."

  It turns out that this Manager Liu is indeed greedy and opportunistic, currying favor with those in power.

  However, he only embezzled within his own power and took what was rightfully his, not a single cent less. What wasn't his to take, he wouldn't touch a single cent of it either.

  So even after being in charge of Qingxiang Pavilion for many years, he still remembered his accounts very clearly.

  At first, I did it so carefully, although I didn't think there would be today's trouble, but indeed thinking that one day Shen Feiling would come to find his own troubles, he also had a basis for self-defense.

  Mr. Liu never thought that his cautious and prudent behavior at first would end up saving himself today.

  Shen Youxia lightly flipped through the topmost account book, and indeed, the accounts were clearly recorded. As for whether the accounts were true or false, it didn't seem that important to Shen Youxia.

  After all, their goal today is to recover the ownership and operating rights of Qixiang Pavilion. For a subordinate like Liu Zhanggui, it's easy to handle, either keep using him if they want to continue, or fire him directly if they don't want to use him. Liu Zhanggui isn't a signed lifelong subordinate, Shen Youxia doesn't need to take any responsibility for him.

  "Get up, I'll let people see these accounts, and if there's anything that comes up later, they'll look for you."

  Shen Youxia liked to deal with clever people, and with a nod, they understood each other. Seeing Liu Zhuang in front of him without hesitation, he stood up directly and retreated to an inconspicuous place to stand.

  Shen Youxia suddenly turned pale, why didn't she have a single friend in her past life, why was nobody willing to be with her.

  After all, she is not a clever person. She doesn't do what she should do, but does what she shouldn't do instead. When others speak, she can't distinguish between good and bad, only following her own heart's desire and catering to her own temperament.

  It must be said that after experiencing the miserable fate of his previous life, Shen Youxia, who was reborn, is very fond of self-criticism and self-summary. Even when seeing others, he can gain some insight, so as to avoid these mistakes in the future.
