Seeing Su Zhiyang's reaction, Guan Xiaoyu slapped the wooden log and replied, ”Su Zhiyang, this is called 'the rear waves of the Yangtze River pushing against the front waves of the ocean'. The previous waves died on the beach! Furthermore, your skills are inferior to others, how can you blame yourself? You do want to start over, but you have to ask for our top three rankings to see if they are willing to accompany us. ”
He firmly shook his head and said with a voice full of enmity, ”Young Noble Su, the Imperial Protector's wife clearly stated the rules before the competition even began. If everyone was like you, requesting for a reopening without even obtaining the championship, then is our Battle Poetry Meet going to be held? Do you still want the prestige of our Golden Kingdom's royal family?! Young Noble Su, there must be a limit to bullying people! ”
Su Zhiyang had an ugly expression on his face as he was surrounded and attacked by the top three rankers. In addition, he had always been an arrogant person and simply disdained scolding those lowly commoners. No matter how angry and resentful he was, he would only target Guan Xiaoyu.
”Guan Xiaoyu!” You are avenging a personal grudge! The Poetry Competition is a gathering for the elective talents of our Golden Kingdom's imperial government, how can we allow you to be such a child's play! ” Su Zhiyang's voice became sharper because of his anger. After holding back for a long time, he finally managed to say something that could barely be considered sharp.
Guan Xiao Yu raised her index finger and shook it in the air as she lightly retaliated, ”Not only not!” Young Noble Su is only playing with children, this humble one is playing with IQ! ”
In addition, the top three of each group were received by the Emperor of Jin with great dignity. He made an invitation in public to the top three of each group to enter the palace with the members of the organizing committee and enjoy the palace feast bestowed upon them by the Emperor.
With Emperor Meng Fanming in the top three, Guan Xiaoyu was no longer in a rush to return to the palace.
She ordered all members of the Finance Department to stay behind, saying that today's matter was over. Since the poetry competition had already ended, they had to immediately settle the balance of income and expenditure.
After Guan Xiaoyu's long training, the members of the Finance Department had gained a certain level of experience with the revenue and expenditure clearing process that Guan Xiaoyu had requested. As a result, they were able to calculate very quickly.
In addition, Guan Xiaoyu was leading the Battle Poetry Meet this year. Not only were there very few expenses, but everything else had been recorded in the accounts. This made everyone in the Finance Department so happy that they almost couldn't keep their mouths shut.
As soon as Guan Xiaoyu and Che Lingjun arrived at the office space of the Finance Department, they were immediately surrounded by a crowd of people chasing after them.
Finance A said, ”The Lady Protector is a wonderful person! With just a casual wave of his hand, this Dou Shi Convention would be held! Furthermore, you want us, the State of Jin, to wash away our shame at the Dou Shi Convention, which we are unable to come out of, year in and year out! ”
Finance B said, ”Isn't that so!? The amount of money we spent this year is the least in years! ”
The treasurer said, ”The Lady Protector's skill is not limited to saving money for the Kingdom of Jin. Her hands still have two golden fingers! ”
Finance C also said, ”Right, right! We've earned at least several tens of thousands this time! It's all thanks to the Heavenly Protector's wife! ”
”...”
Originally, Che Lingjun was standing with Guan Xiaoyu, but he was gradually pushed to the periphery by the excited financial personnel. Now, everyone admired the beautiful and intelligent lady protector of the country, who was the Mu Guo Zhen Yuan waiting for the car Ling Jun? I'm sorry! They did not know him!
Guan Xiaoyu was in the middle of the crowd. She was flattering, yet her face was smiling faintly. She didn't express much joy or sorrow.
Tens of thousands was an astronomical number in the eyes of these ancient people, but in her eyes, it merely represented a string of characters.
In her previous life, she had never seen the successor of the Guan Group … This was an existence that was worth hundreds of millions, if these ancient people knew her value, they might even worship her as if she was a god!
Guan Xiaoyu shook her head and laughed.
After indulging in a chorus of compliments, she raised her hand high. When the crowd saw her raise her hand, they immediately lowered their voices, quietly listening to what she was about to say.
”Everyone! Everyone has worked hard today! I will be depending on everyone's working overtime today, as appropriate, I will send you some fees for your hard work! ”Now, the chief of the Finance Department, please report to me about today's financial situation!” Guan Xiaoyu cupped her hands and said.
The finance chief's name was called and he excitedly walked forward to report to Guan Xiaoyu, ”Reporting to Madam Protector, we have collected 37,656 taels of silver for this year's poetry battle. We will pay 2,321 taels for each of them, leaving a balance of 35,333 taels! This is the book of accounts for this year's poetry contest, please take a look, Madam Protector! ”
Guan Xiaoyu took the account books and carefully compared them one by one. After finding no mistakes, she said to the chief financial officer, ”Have the officials bring all the silver back to the palace!”
The chief financial officer received his orders and quickly sent for his men.
Guan Xiaoyu was finally able to extricate herself from the crowd. Her eyes swept across the crowd and she saw Che Lingjun standing in front of her.
From the look in his eyes, she could clearly see that he was even more passionate than before.
”A Che!” With a smile on her face, Xiao Yu ran in the direction of the car.
As for Che Lingjun, he opened his arms wide, waiting for his beloved woman to rush over, and hugged her whole body!
”Jiu'er!” Jiu'er! My good Jiu'er! He muttered to himself as if he had found a precious treasure.
Guan Xiaoyu chuckled and laughed at him, ”Stupid!” Your soul is crying! ”
