Chapter 29: Chapter 29: ‘Brazen Greed’ (Seeking Chase Reading)

Translator: 549690339

Inside a room in City Hall, Milton Cheney was flipping through an accounting manuscript in his hands.

Next to him stood a man explaining each income and expense item on the manuscript.

From start to end, Cheney read through it very seriously.

“Young Master, this is the complete income and expense report for the Golden Lion market over the last three months, all included in this manuscript,” a chubby middle-aged man standing next to him explained obsequiously.

This middle-aged man was Terrence Liddell, who had been previously in charge of the Golden Lion Market.

“William, take a look.”

Cheney handed the manuscript he was holding to William who stood behind him.

Cheney did not speak, and William silently flipped through the manuscript. After a while, he looked at Cheney and nodded slightly.

“Is it just for the last three months? Do you have the details from before?” Cheney asked Terrence.

By this time, Cheney had taken over the Golden Lion market for several days and he was gradually getting acquainted with the responsibilities of a market supervisor.

It was not an easy task, not as easy as Cheney had initially imagined.

“This…

Cheney naturally noticed Terrence’s hesitation. He could tell at a glance whether these people were embezzling or not.

But sitting in that position, if they didn’t embezzle at all, it’s impossible. Cheney just wanted to know how much they had embezzled. “Oh, is that inconvenient?”

Hearing the impatience in Cheney’s voice, Terrence quickly said:

“No, not at all. It’s just that I don’t have the manuscripts from more than three months ago. They’re with the Finance Officer. I’ll go get them for you right away.”

Seeing Cheney nod without a word, Terrence quickly went out to fetch the previous accounting manuscripts.

Time passed by as Cheney’s fingers gently tapped on the table in front of him.
