Along the way, Chen Xiao kept flipping through the account book left behind by Jiang Pinggui.
He looked at every entry, especially the accounts from '94.
After reviewing each month's statement, Chen Xiao would summarize each figure.
Only after confirming that his calculations matched the total ledger, he would turn to the next month's accounts.
At first, Guo Zhengchang, in the passenger seat, was watching Chen Xiao's actions.
But after listening to the sound of the calculator just doing math, he couldn't help but ask:
"Why don't I arrange for an accountant to go over that account book for you?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It's just a mason's yearly account book; it's not worth using an accountant."
Seeing him say this, Guo Zhengchang said no more.
The car kept moving forward.
By the time they reached the town near Ye Xiu's house, Chen Xiao was almost done with the calculations.
They were less than twenty minutes' drive from Ye Xiu's house at this point.
