"What are you rambling about again? How did you bring up Qin Juan again?"
Jia Liang, like stepping on his tail, suddenly shouted coldly.
Feng Zhong looked at him meaningfully, "If you’re not interested in Qin Juan, why would you buy porridge for her?"
Jia Liang also felt that his reaction was too exaggerated just now and adjusted his emotions to explain, "I just see that it’s not easy for a woman to raise a child alone. You should mind your words, don’t talk nonsense all the time. Also, if you like the girl, go through a matchmaker to propose marriage properly, and court her decently instead of acting like a hooligan."
"Brother Liang, see what you’re saying, I am courting her properly. There will be a matchmaker, but I need to build up the feelings first, right? I’ll propose after the new year."
Jia Liang then nodded, "As long as you are aware of it, that’s fine. She’s a young girl, and you’re not that young, don’t do anything inappropriate."
"I got it, Brother Liang. Do I look like that kind of person to you?"

In the lobby, Gao Lele fiddled with the abacus, truly about to cry.
Qin Jianjun passed by the front desk and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong, Lele?"
When Gao Lele looked up and saw it was Qin Jianjun, tears fell.
Qin Jianjun saw there was something wrong and went over to comfort her, "Don’t cry, tell me what’s the matter slowly."
"Today... my accounts don’t match again, off by more than 20 yuan. I was very careful, I remember every entry clearly, and I kept the money properly, I don’t know why it doesn’t match..."
She wiped her tears, continuing to slide the abacus beads around.
Qin Jianjun took her abacus, "Let me help you calculate, read them to me."
Gao Lele took a couple of deep breaths, stabled her emotions, and read each item to him.
After finishing, they counted the cash again, and it was off by 24 yuan and 60 cents.
Gao Lele saw this number, and her tears came again.
"It’s the same as what I calculated before, what should I do? I was off by 10 yuan a few days ago, and more than 20 yuan today, my monthly salary is hardly enough to cover this, I still have to give my mom 30 yuan each month, and I wanted to buy new clothes for the New Year too..."
Gao Lele became more and more saddened.
Hearing that the money was off before, Qin Jianjun also found this suspicious.
Since Qin’s Bun Shop opened, it was Gao Lele who managed the accounts at the front desk, and there had never been a mistake.
And since there was a discrepancy a few days ago, Gao Lele would have been even more careful; it didn’t make sense for the discrepancy to be bigger.
"Did you tell the manager about the discrepancy from the other day?"
"I didn’t dare to; I was afraid the manager would scold me. I paid 10 yuan from my own pocket to cover it."
She could cover 10 yuan, but she really didn’t have the money to cover more than 20 yuan.
"Just fearing being scolded isn’t enough; you need to tell the manager about this."
Most importantly, it might not just be Gao Lele making accounting errors.
"I’ll take you to the manager."
Qin Jianjun helped her organize everything, locked it in the drawer, and took her to the office.
Feng Zhong just happened to come out of the office and jokingly said to the two, "What’s wrong, little Lele, why are you crying? Did Jianjun bully you? Do you need Brother Feng to teach him a lesson?"
Gao Lele quickly shook her head, "No, we have something to discuss with the manager."
