Chapter 004 I am a graduate of the Open University

Wen Ping let out a laugh, raising her eyebrows at him playfully, and sweetly said: "Dear brother, everyone makes mistakes, just as horses stumble. It's only natural for anyone to err in a rush, and the bank staff are not robots, are they? As for this money, you should take it back and count it carefully. It would be best to take this receipt and inquire over there thoroughly.

Xiao Meng's temples throbbed twice as he said word by word: "The receipt states thirty-two thousand four hundred yuan. Is the amount you paid correct?"

Xiao Meng knew that her personality was somewhat boyish. Although she was so angry that she opened her hand, it was actually to stand up for herself, so she awkwardly retracted her hand and fell silent. The young couple, having been subtly criticized by Wen Ping, turned even redder. The husband stammered, "No, how could that be? I trust the people at your bank; just go ahead, whatever you say is fine."

These individuals are extremely anxious about making mistakes during the payment process, fearing it may affect the allocation of housing. On a single receipt, they have scrutinized the printed words "Second copy as payment receipt" in vertical alignment no less than ten times. Would they not pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters?

The husband had a slight sheen of sweat on his face, and his expression was somewhat tense. When the young woman with an oval face locked eyes with Xiao Meng, a fleeting, barely perceptible look of panic crossed her cunning gaze.

Haha, you have worked hard for us for most of the day, we must accompany you for lunch!

It seems that this elder brother and sister-in-law work even harder to earn money than we do. If by any chance they collect more than they should, wouldn't that be a huge loss? We must ensure that they count it clearly

Wen Ping snapped open Xiao Meng's hand with a "pop," her willow-like brows raised, and she fixed her charming face on the young woman, yet said to Xiao Meng: "Meng Ge, we cannot be careless about this matter. Two thousand yuan is the salary for a month of hard work. Look at the money we ordered; it has no scent at all. On such a hot day, we can't wear masks, and once the counting machine goes through, all those germs will end up in our stomachs.

The room fell silent for a moment again, and the beautiful woman said: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite young. ... ... Sigh ... ... Your bank is really good, though. It's not easy to work in society, especially for women; it's quite difficult to pursue a career ... ... "

The wife nodded at the receipt with her chin and replied slyly, "It's the amount written on the receipt!"

The room fell silent for a moment, and Xiao Meng also felt a bit awkward, with the movements of his fingers becoming somewhat sluggish

Wen Ping pouted and said, "Alright, Brother Meng, you all go eat. I'm still on a diet, so I won't eat. I'll just watch!"

The beautiful woman listened, her expression suddenly changing, and she appeared somewhat uneasy. She raised her hand to brush aside her damp hair clinging to her forehead, letting out a soft "oh" without speaking. Outside the door, a middle-aged man holding a briefcase stood there shouting: "Section Chief Chang, where is Section Chief Chang?"

Indeed, your weakness makes her strong. Xiao Meng appears timid in front of her, which instead piques her interest. From time to time, she playfully teases him and takes advantage of him, leaving Xiao Meng in a state of both laughter and tears. Whenever Meng Xiaobai is on the phone with female colleagues or classmates, Wen Ping pinches her voice and coyly flirts with him from the side. Their private relationship is quite good among their colleagues.

Xiao Meng saw her anxious face turn red and felt a bit reluctant, so she extended her hand to Wen Ping and said: "Alright, I'll order a little more!"

Xiao Meng sensed that she was trying to justify her earlier actions, but he did not know how to respond and simply uttered an "mm".

Xiao Meng flipped over another ticket, smiled, and said: "No, I have been in the industry for six years, and I am 26 years old this year"

The husband exclaimed in distress, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, the money we raised is not enough. We borrowed two thousand yuan and forgot to include it!" As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a roll of money from his jacket pocket and handed it over without counting.

At noon, Director Chang and the bookkeeper appeared leisurely at the door, frowning as they looked at the long queue. They returned to instruct the housing development company to prepare over one hundred number plates, stamped and distributed to those waiting in line, telling them to come back at one o'clock in the afternoon to make their payments. Then they opened the door, allowing the two useless hulking men to struggle for a long time, nearly restoring the iron gate to its original shape, before finally entering accompanied by a beautiful woman

The people in line found it amusing, laughing heartily, yet they carefully placed their hands on the spot designated for money. Indeed, the person in front had already begun to take out money, and some were meticulously peeling away the layers of newspaper that wrapped the cash.

After finishing the last chapter of the invoice, Xiao Meng fluently and elegantly noted a string of numbers on the back of the receipt for the final chapter. Only then did he raise his head, smiled shyly, and said: "I graduated from the Open University!"

Director Chang stepped outside upon hearing the voice, and upon seeing the person, he greeted him with a smile, only to hear him say: "Mr. Niu, what brings you here in person?"

Wen Ping and Xiao Jiang from the Security Department went outside, while Meng Xiaobai brought the receipts from the morning to the table by the window, picking up the abacus to settle the morning's accounts, the abacus clicking rapidly.

The woman has an alluring figure, presenting a graceful hourglass silhouette, with full breasts, a slender waist, and rounded, perky hips resembling ripe peaches. Her face is sweet, with rosy, plump lips that seem to be inviting a kiss at any moment

After a while, the beautiful woman cleared her throat and asked, "How old are you? You look like you just graduated, don't you?"

Zhang Yue'er noticed that he seemed somewhat reserved in conversation, and his demeanor was more composed. She quietly fastened the second button of her collar, concealing the alluring cleavage, smiled gently, and said: "My name is Zhang Yue'er, I am from the University of Finance. Which university did you graduate from?"

Wen Ping's imitation of Hong Kong and Taiwan film stars, speaking in a delicate and affected manner, is truly exceptional. Even with a stiff expression, she can make the words "Little Bai Gege" sound soft, sweet, and alluring. Whenever Xiao Meng is on the phone with his classmates, she enjoys propping her chin up and saying into the microphone: "Little Bai Gege, will you accompany me to the movies tonight, okay..." This makes Xiao Meng's scalp tingle, and despite his repeated explanations to his classmates, no one believes him.

Seeing that his wife was determined not to take his money anymore, the husband could only stomp his foot in frustration, glare at her fiercely, and hurriedly rejoin the line.

The wife, feeling a bit flustered upon hearing this, quickly said: "No need, no need, we can see it very clearly; it is indeed thirty-two thousand four. Please count it, it won't be wrong!"

Xiao Meng was very serious when teaching her. He first practiced several times himself, then had her sit on a chair to practice her techniques, while he stood beside her, bending slightly to offer guidance. He often spoke about the key points until his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched, yet he rarely touched her fingers.

The next person was a middle-aged overweight woman, sweating profusely and clearly impatient. Upon hearing her name called, she twisted her thick waist, pushed the couple aside, and eagerly handed over the money, saying warmly: "Little sister, you speak wisely; this is my money, every cent is accounted for. Young brother, please count it!"

Zhang Yue'er seemed to breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "People of a different caliber have no right to evaluate her actions"

As he was about to finish a thick stack of receipts, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter. He looked up and saw Section Chief Chang and a woman sitting on a long bench, seemingly playfully teasing each other. The woman leaned outward, causing her short shirt to lift, revealing a section of her delicate, creamy-white skin at the waist, while Section Chief Chang's hand barely withdrew from the gap of her shorts.

You know, I must say, this character does not look like a 2 to me; it appears to be a 0. My master, being a tall man of seven feet, has a keen eye for detail and noticed the mistake. If it were up to me, being the lazy person I am, I would have only looked at the lowercase and accepted it as is, which would have caused further delays for you. You should go to m.hetushu.com to clarify and see whether it is indeed a 2 or a 0. Next!

As he repeatedly tapped the money several times, Wen Ping had already sorted out the cash at hand. Upon hearing Xiao Meng's strange tone, she alertly raised her head and took the receipt to examine it closely

Seeing Xiao Meng's gaze sweep across her waist, the woman shifted uncomfortably, reining in her flirtatious smile and sitting up straight. Section Chief Chang glanced at Xiao Meng, who was engrossed in her calculations, and chuckled, "What are you looking at? Don't think that just because you are the financial head of the housing company, my subordinate is any less capable than you; he is also a university graduate!"

Wen Ping has a cheerful personality and often feels that this master, who is only two years older than herself, is honest and straightforward, almost unlike the youth of modern society. People like him are indeed quite rare now. Even during her university days, when learning to dance at school, male classmates would sometimes feign nonchalance and slightly take advantage, but as long as it wasn't too excessive, she would usually pretend not to notice.

Section Chief Chang raised his head and said, "Sure, what's the problem? Just go ahead! You all hurry and wash your hands!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Meng hurriedly said: "No, Section Chief, you take them; I can just watch here!"

His actions further convinced Xiao Meng of his judgment. He glared at the man with disgust, and just as he was about to count the money he had received, Wen Ping let out a cold laugh from the side, abruptly standing up and snatching the money from Xiao Meng's hands. She stuffed it, along with the remaining thirty thousand four hundred yuan, into a plastic bag, her face adorned with an innocuous sweet smile. She said to the man's wife, "Buying a house is a significant matter, and earning money is not easy. There seems to be an issue with your counting; I suggest you take it back, count it clearly, and then come back to queue again"

Wen Ping shot him a glance and said, "I know you are a carnivore, you can eat without gaining weight! Fine, I will go then. Section Chief, Meng is really working hard. Can I bring back a couple of dishes for him later?"

When Director Chang saw that the bag was already filled with nearly 2 million, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He chuckled and said to Xiao Meng, "You really are something, you collected twice as fast as Xiao Liu. Haha, um... with so much money, we can't just carry it to dinner. Xiao Meng, Ping'er, and Xiao Jiang, go wash your hands. We'll go eat in a bit; I'll keep an eye on this here"

However, when she called him with a stern face, she was genuinely angry with him. Meng Xiaobai was aware of this, so he merely chuckled dryly and did not respond. Wen Ping shot him a fierce glare, then suddenly sighed and silently took the money he handed over to count it.

As soon as they left, Wen Ping's smile faded, and she sat down with a cold expression, sarcastically mocking, "Xiao Bai Ge Ge, you really have a good heart. You've become utterly pathetic, so why are you being so polite to someone like that?"

The couple stood helplessly by for a while, watching Wen Ping with one hand on her hip, gently swaying her body, while pointing at the people behind the fat woman, and said in a friendly tone: "Everyone, please line up properly and do not push. Those near the door, please take out your money from your waist, shoe pockets, or lunch boxes first; it will speed things up a bit."

Wen Ping studied Business Administration in university. After being assigned to a bank, she was completely unfamiliar with the abacus and counting cash. It was Xiao Meng who guided her through it. Her first two mentors did teach her hands-on, but they often took advantage of her rather than genuinely imparting knowledge. As a result, Wen Ping learned nothing at all.

Meng Xiaobai chuckled and said, "How can that be? As a woman, can you handle so much money? You go ahead and eat; you know what I like to eat, just bring me back a little!"

It is truly dark; are you trying to take advantage of the situation? If I only look at the lowercase letters, I will have to use this month's salary to repay the two thousand yuan. Xiao Meng felt both angry and disgusted; he gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, clicked through again, confirmed that two thousand yuan was missing, and then raised his head to ask: "How much did you pay?"
