General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 688 Ling Wei Shows Off Her Power (2)

"Oh? Tell me about it!" Ji Xiaomu asked curiously, looking at Qin Wu.

"Today, the eldest lady of the Ling family went to the escort agency and met the two merchants who delivered the wrong goods. Her first words were, 'Do you want to compensate for the money or the goods?'" Qin Wu happened to be at the escort agency and was also shocked by Ling Wei's words.

"When the two merchants saw Ling Wei, they immediately asked for compensation," Qin Wu said. "Ling Wei said, OK! Compensation, twice the escort fee."

"The double escort fee is only twenty taels, so the two merchants naturally refused and immediately changed their words and said they wanted to compensate for the goods. Miss Ling said, if they want to compensate for the goods, then bring their manifest over and I'll compensate for the goods according to the price listed on the manifest." Ling Wu continued.

"They want it?" Ji Xiaomu asked curiously.

"As soon as they showed the list of goods, Miss Ling handed them the recovered goods, without missing a single item. The two merchants were dumbfounded." Qin Wu laughed, "They originally thought they could ask the escort agency to compensate them for the goods, but Miss Ling said she didn't know how much the goods were, so she could only compensate them twice the escort fee. They were unwilling to accept this and wanted to compensate for the goods, but Miss Ling finally got all the goods back for them, so they didn't even have to pay for it."

"This was a beautiful move. Both of them have nothing to say and there is no way to pursue it. We can only let it go." Qin Wu said with a smile.

"How come the goods were recovered so quickly? Didn't they say it would take at least two days?" asked Aunt Ji.

"This is the strength of Miss Ling. She had someone prepare an identical set of goods in advance, compensated them first, and then asked them to sell the recovered goods directly there and come back with the money." Qin Wu said. "She played this hand beautifully, without delaying either side, and even made a small profit."

"Then the merchant still has to ask our escort company to transport the goods again, and we earn the escort fee again." Ji Xiaowu added.

Qin Wu was stunned, then he pounded his palm in realization, and suddenly he understood.

"Pretty!"

"The eldest lady of the Ling family is truly a talented person!" Qin Wu said admiringly.

"They have all been exposed to family business since childhood, and their thinking is much more sensitive than ours." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile.

But Ling Weilu's move was indeed beautiful.

When Ji Xiaowu and Fang Chen went to the escort agency, Ling Wei was still in the agency, frowning as she looked at the account book. A disciple behind her stood with his head down like a quail, trying hard to reduce his presence.

As soon as Ji Xiaomu came in, she saw Ling Wei with a face full of hatred. "What's wrong? You look so hateful?"

"Didn't you train them how to keep accounts? What the hell is this account book!" Ling Wei got angry as soon as she saw Ji Xiaomu, and finally she had a place to vent.

She was almost suffocating. This man didn't understand what she was saying at all and just nodded.

"...Do you remember it very poorly?" Ji Xiaowu asked carefully. She had indeed never taught it. The escort agency had just been opened and was still slowly getting on track.

"…It's more than just bad! It's completely incomprehensible!" Ling Wei placed the account book in front of Ji Xiaomu and asked her to take a good look at how they kept the accounts.

Ji Xiaomu picked up the account book and flipped through it, randomly opening a page. There were three stick figures drawn on it, then ten cars, and finally three big circles at the bottom?

"This... should be three people escorting ten carts of goods, and the escort fee is thirty taels?" Ji Xiaomu guessed.

The disciple who was writing the account book nearby brightened up his eyes, nodded heavily at Ji Xiaomu, and gave her a thumbs up.
