The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 767: Nothing Happened

Translator: Vesper

Chen Qi’s eyelids jumped, he endured the oddity he felt, and said seriously: “What do you mean, Boss? I don’t quite understand.”

“Don’t understand? Chen Qi, do you want me to throw the evidence to your face, and only then you’ll admit it?” Ning Meng Yao originally thought that as long as Chen Qi voluntarily admitted his mistake, she could give him another chance, but she did not expect this man to be the kind of person who would refuse to admit his mistake until he was faced with grim reality.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, Boss. I don’t know what I did that would make you say this kind of thing to me.” Even if he knew it, he kept telling himself that he must not admit. If he admitted his mistake now, it would be all over for him.

Ning Meng Yao sneered, she looked at Chen Qi with a smile: “Since you don’t want to admit your mistake, then you mustn’t blame me for your consequences.”

Chen Qi’s face immediately changed: “What do you mean, Boss?”

“What do I mean? In the past two years, you have laundered thousands of silvers from the workshop. And this is still not enough? You even helped others secretly to steal from me?” Ning Meng Yao said angrily.

Chen Qi’s eyes widened, he looked at Ning Meng Yao in disbelief: “This... I... You...”

Ning Meng Yao looked at Chen Qi who was stammering, she sneered: “What? Are you surprised that I know all of these? If you’ve only laundered that few thousand silvers, as long as you return them to me, I will not make a fuss over it.”

But what made her angry the most was that this man even cooperated with others to steal from her. It showed that his character was simply lacking a sense of honesty.

Chen Qi took a few steps back, he still did not respond. Ever since the workshop opened, Ning Meng Yao rarely managed the things there. Many things were handed over to the management inside, and the account books were handled by Jiang Quan. As long as he did nothing obvious, no one would notice it, but now Ning Meng Yao actually found out about him.

“Boss... I...”

“Chen Qi, you have really disappointed me. Why did I choose you, along with several other finance people? Do you know why?” Ning Meng Yao ignored Chen Qi’s panic look and asked indifferently.

“Why?” Chen Qi asked subconsciously.

He had actually thought about it but he did not understand.

“That’s because you seemed honest and loyal, you never lose a sense of justice, and at the same time you’re a careful person. It is precisely because of this that I chose you.” Ning Meng Yao looked at Chen Qi disappointedly.

At that time, she also thought that as long as Chen Qi did a good job, she would promote him further. Who knew that he actually became like this in just a short time.

Chen Qi looked at Ning Meng Yao dumbfounded. He did not think that the answer to this question that had made him almost crack his head just to figure out an answer, turned out to be like this.

Suddenly Chen Qi regretted his actions, he should not have listened to other people’s instigation and made such a mistake. If it was not for what he had done, he would not be threatened.

“I’m sorry, Boss, I have disappointed your trust.” Chen Qi lowered his head. He smiled bitterly, and admitted his mistakes.

Ning Meng Yao shook her head: “What benefits did Yang Su Yun give you?”

“She heard from other people that I laundered money from the workshop and found the evidence, then she used it to threaten me. She said that if I didn’t help her, she would give all the evidence to you, Boss.” Because of this, he had to agree to help her. However, now he was sure he had done something wrong.

If he had confessed his wrongdoings to Ning Meng Yao in the past, would things end up like this now?

Ning Meng Yao looked at Chen Qi with a sullen face: “Because of this, you decided to help her? And to steal from me? To steal from the whole workshop?”

“Boss, I...”

“You’ve worked in the workshop for such a long time, you should know how much losses that will bring us.” Ning Meng Yao was really angry, her tone was much serious now, and she was looking at Chen Qi with her eyes filled with rage.

Chen Qi shivered at the sight of Ning Meng Yao’s eyes. Of course he knew what would happen if those things were really lost, but... nothing happened so far, right?
