It was fine at first, but gradually a layer of sweat appeared on Lu Jinshuang's forehead, and her calculations became slower and slower.
Tu Boshu seemed to have grown accustomed to the strange situation and was drinking tea leisurely on the side.
After all, she had seen many accounting clerks settle accounts like this, and Lu Jinshuang's speed was already considered very fast.
At this moment, Lu Jinshuang suddenly got stuck: "Profit of 1,458 taels, loss of 932 taels, expenses of 120 taels, profit of 100 taels yesterday...actual profit...
"
Seeing a beautiful woman stuck on such a math problem, Li Qi couldn't bear it and said: "Five hundred and six taels."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jinshuang and Tu Boshu both looked at him.
After a while, Lu Jinshuang continued to calculate the calculation: "It's really five hundred and sixty taels. How did the boss calculate it?"
Do you still need to calculate such a simple math problem?
"You read it and I calculate it."
Li Qi said helplessly.
Lu Jinshuang was still a little surprised in her eyes, but when she saw what he said, she had no choice but to do it.
"Three hundred and forty-three taels..."
"Five hundred and sixty-seven taels..."
Numbers popped out of Li Qi's mouth one by one. Almost as soon as Lu Jinshuang finished reading the account book, Li Qi reported a number.
Tu Boshu looked surprised. After reading the last account, Li Qi got the final number he wanted, eighty-one taels.
In other words, this is the entire property of Cuihonglou.
No wonder I can't pay my wages. This little money is only enough to buy groceries and eat.
But yes, if Cuihonglou could survive, Su Yingxiong would not come to him for help and offer such generous conditions.
"Brother Li, I didn't expect you to be so capable." Tu Boshu said after recovering from the shock.
Li Qi smiled: "Sprinkle some water."
Before Tu Boshu asked what "sprinkling water" meant, Li Qi said: "It's funny, I have been proficient in arithmetic since I was a child, so this is nothing."
"That's it." Tu Boshu was delighted.
Why does this guy look at me so weirdly?
Could it be that you are fascinated by my handsome multiplication table?
Thinking of this, Li Qi couldn't help but feel grateful to his elementary school teacher.
"Although there is not much money left, saving money is not inoperable." Li Qi said and looked at Tu Boshu, "Brother Tu, I have to trouble you next and call all your famous friends over."
Tu Boshu opened his fan with a "swish" sound and said: "No problem, hug me!"
…
"Have you heard about it recently? Cuihonglou recruited four beauties from nowhere. It is said that they are called the romantic women's group?"
"Is it true? There are beauties in places like Cuihonglou?"
"I guess it's true. Many famous people have been running towards Cuihong Tower these days. Even the four most talented people in Jinzhou are there every day. I heard they just want to catch a glimpse of its beauty."
"The four great talents are also visiting brothels now?"
"Maybe it's because of that all-girl group."
“Then you have to go and see!”
…
Li Qi's marketing has indeed achieved great results, and Lu Jinshuang is also a smart person who can make things happen with just a few clicks.
For a time, the name of Cuihonglou spread throughout the streets and alleys. Even some people who did not usually go to brothels were discussing the Cuihonglou all-girls group.
There are also some boudoir ladies who are also curious about what kind of beauties in this world can make the four great talents linger.
For a time, the business of Cuihonglou was very good, and the hall was packed with people.
Tu Boshu stood in the corner of the second floor, looking at the enthusiastic people downstairs, and sighed: "Brother Li is really a business genius."
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Li Qi said with a smile, "Thanks to Brother Tu's help."
"It takes a little effort, but it doesn't matter."
While the two were chatting, suddenly all the lanterns in the Cuihong Building were extinguished, and then a burst of green smoke appeared from the second floor. Four graceful women with their faces covered by gauze were seen, each carrying a lantern and walking away.
come out.
With the green smoke curling up and the lights dim, the four women looked like fairies descending to earth.
The four people each stood in a position, hung the lanterns on the aisle, and then sat down.
Then there was a burst of whistle, followed by pipa, then guzheng and flute.
The four women opened their mouths and slowly sang an unprecedented melody.
Whoever bids farewell will become ill with lovesickness.
Don't ask about the end of the world, and don't ask about the date of return.
How can no one understand? When love is broken, you know whether you are warm or cold.
Whoever bids farewell will become ill with lovesickness.
Don't ask about the end of the world, and don't ask about the date of return.
Why is it that no one understands my thoughts...
The people downstairs had never seen this formation before. Accompanied by the novel melody, it was so intoxicating.
After the song ended, there were all kinds of cheers.
A guy from Cuihonglou in the crowd looked around and suddenly shouted: "Fenghuaxueyue! Fenghuaxueyue!"
After he shouted this, others also started shouting.
This person is the entrustment arranged by Li Qi...
No matter what the activity is, how can it be possible to liven up the atmosphere if there are not a few people supporting it?
Li Qi looked at the jubilant people in the hall and said helplessly: Where can I go from here? If we just have a water-melody singer, that's okay?
Tu Boshu became more and more curious about Li Qi. When Li Qi said that he would hire a man to do the care, she was still a little confused. Now that she saw that everything was under his control, she was very impressed.
"Brother Tu, let's go, the four great talents are still waiting for us."
The two of them turned around and entered a private room, where they saw four men sitting in front of the mahogany table with sad faces, as if they were thinking about some difficult problem.
"Four of you, have you come up with the answer?" Li Qi said with a smile.
One of the men with a mustache stood up and said, "Brother Li, I think your question is very unreasonable."
"Oh? Brother Zhao, what do you think is unreasonable?"
"You said that my father and my mother gave birth to a son. He is neither my brother nor my brother. Who is he?" The man with the mustache asked puzzledly, "Is it possible that I am not my biological child?"
"Want to know the answer?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows.
The mustache nodded.
Li Qi picked up a glass of wine and handed it to him: "Then drink this glass of wine first, and I will tell you."
The mustache was a little reluctant, but he still picked up the wine and drank it down: "Can you tell me the answer now?"
"The answer is yourself."
"Myself?"
"Your father and your mother gave birth to a son. He is not your brother or your brother. Who else is it but you?"
The mustache was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
And then another voice suddenly said excitedly: "I thought of it! I thought of it!"
"What did Brother Qian think of?" Li Qi asked.
"I know the answer! You asked me what to do if a needle falls into the sea? The answer is of course to pick it up with a fishing net!"
"wrong!"
"Wrong again?"
Li Qi smiled and picked up another glass of wine and handed it over: "Master Qian, drink it."
"Tell me the answer first."
"The answer...of course is to buy another needle."
