| ← Ch.381 | Ch.383 → |
When Zhao Ming got out of the room, she looked around and found nobody in the area. She walked in the empty corridor and went towards the garden in the pavilion.
She went towards the flower garden in the pavilion. The garden was beautiful with different flowers decorating it and enhancing its beauty.
She took a walk in the garden and stopped when she spotted something unique.
She squatted down when she found a beautiful flower. It's been so long since she had taken a walk and felt so peaceful. Even though this place is not so luxurious as the palace but she felt so relaxed here.
" What are you doing here?"? Wen Ru who was going to his room to inform Ji Cheng that lunch is ready and wanted to call them for lunch.
But he stopped in his tracks when he saw Zhao Ming in the flower garden.
Zhao Ming was surprised when she heard a manly voice. She looked over to the side when she heard Wen Ru's words.
" Ah, nothing. I was just taking a walk. But what are you doing here Brother Wen?" she asked while getting up and stood facing him.
" I was coming to inform you guys that the lunch is ready but you're here looking at these flowers." he chuckled as he shrugged his shoulders.
Wen Ru looked up at her and said, " But why aren't you taking a rest? You were looking so pale a while earlier." he said worriedly.
" I was looking pale earlier but now I am fine. I am not sleepy either, " she explained to him as they started walking in the garden.
" Ahm. As long as you're fine, " he said while folding his hands behind his back.
" Brother Wen."? Zhao Ming called Wen Ru's name in a low voice.
Wen Ru looked over when she called his name.
" Hmm? " his brows raised in question.
" What happened today... I think you should take some actions to prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future, " she said seriously while looking in front.
Wen Ru stopped in his steps when he heard her words. He looked at her face and was stunned seeing how serious she was looking.
He was caught off guard because at that time he has thought that it was just a coincidence that she figure out Yu Kang's embezzlement but now she was talking about taking actions regarding it.
" Then, what kind of actions should I take to avoid these kinds of situations in the future?" Wen Ru asked her cautiously as he wanted to see what kind of ideas she will give.
If she can give a good idea to prevent these kinds of situations in the future then he will have to change his thinking again about Zhao Ming.
Like other people, he also believed that women should stay at home and they are not fit to do business and should stay away from these kinds of stuff.
But his thinking was not as single-minded as Yu Kang. His thinking becomes like this because he has not seen any women before who can do things like business better than men or have a good sense of business. Also, they have been taught from childhood that men are better than women in every field.
In society, the roles for women and men were divided since childhood. The men received the proper education while women were given the training of etiquette and how to be a good wife.
That's why he was amused to see Zhao Ming's interest in the business because she was the first woman he has seen who talks about business like she was about jewelry.
Zhao Ming looked up at Wen Ru and thought for a moment.
" Ahm.. When I was talking to Yu Kang earlier, I found that when you buy something from other merchants, you don't take any written confirmation from them, generally you can call as a receipt." Zhao Ming tried to make her words as simple as possible.
" If you take receipts for every purchase and keep them safe, this will help to manage the account book very well. This way the one who will manage the account has to show the receipt of the purchase and you can simply tally the amount on receipts with the amount in the account book."
" Though, this is not a foolproof idea because many people could forge those bills and try to embezzle money by finding new ways, but these measures could reduce such things to a great extent, " she explained to him the use of keeping receipts while maintaining the account book.
" Also, it will also help you to confirm the source of such payment. Not only take receipts while buying items but also give bills to customers who make purchases and keep a copy of those bills to yourself as well. Because this way you will have a record of the items you sold and customers will have a record of purchase as well."
" It helps in keeping an account book and also prevents such things from happening in the future. Though I can't be sure, it will reduce the chance of such incidents happening in the future."
Wen Ru was stunned hearing Zhao Ming's idea. He never thought that she could propose something like this.
Even this kind of idea never came into his mind.
" How did you come up with such an idea? " he asked her as he looked at her in amazement.
" Ahem, it's nothing big." Zhao Ming scratched her head in embarrassment.
'I really can't say that it was such a brilliant idea because it is such a basic thing in my world. '
Maintaining bills is not something huge in her time. But when she was looking around the shop and asked Yu Kang about how they maintain the account books.
Though he was not interested, he told her that when they make big purchases, he notes them down in the account book and that's how they keep their accounts.
In short, there is no record about the authenticity of the purchase. This way Yu Kang could easily forge the account and embezzled money with it.
She found it hard to believe that they don't use receipts and bills as a source of records. That's why she suggested this idea because if they started keeping records like this it would be much better.
