"A lot faster, and powerful ..."
Zhao Rong's eyes sank slightly, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Because before that, he had seen how Kung Fu Fly fought with the man with the bearded face.
The speed and strength just now was comparable to the level of a second grade warrior.
Now, however, it had incremented to an ability comparable to that of a level three warrior!
This rate of improvement caused Zhao Rong to be quite surprised.
Zhao Rong's arrival had actually been discovered by Lin Hao a long time ago.
It was a little sensitive about the exposure of his own strength, but it didn't matter.
It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation and receive the monthly salary you deserve.
"Steward, now that you're here, let's talk about the accounts."
Lin Hao was not humble and said indifferently.
Zhao Rong was slightly surprised.
This kid is quite perceptive.
"How did you find out about the old man?"
Zhao Rong smiled curiously and inquired.
"Footsteps."
Lin Hao said with a calm face, "Although I can't see it, everyone's footsteps are slightly different."
This argument, sensible and reasonable, did not make Zhao Rong suspicious.
"You have a good ear, and remembering people by their footsteps is a good way indeed."
Zhao Rong let out a sigh of admiration and then smiled as he stepped through the door.
"Big Steward!"
Seeing Zhao Rong walk in, Chen Si then slowed down and hurriedly bowed in awe.
Zhao Rong didn't pay any attention to him, his eyes always fixed on Lin Hao and the little kung fu fly that was lying on his shoulder.
As for the tarantulas, they had been lurking in their pockets, and were difficult to observe.
However, with the second butler Qin Chi and the others in the bathhouse last night, as well as the poisoning incident that the man with the bearded face had just encountered, Zhao Rong was already very clear about the terrifying abilities of the tarantula.
"This guy says it's been too long, and I can't find accounts for the six months of monthly salary I haven't yet received at the Zhao residence."
Lin Hao faced Zhao Rong and inquired, "How do you think it should be handled?"
Zhao Rong was responsible for the financial power of the Zhao family, and it felt more useful to talk to him directly.
"Can't find the accounts?"
Hearing this, Zhao Rong's face immediately sank.
He looked at Chen Si and frowned as he questioned, "Every entry and exit of the accounts in the finance room is recorded, so how could it not be found?!"
"This ... me ..."
Facing the questioning of the Senior Steward, Chen Si's heart trembled slightly, and he was unable to say anything in a squeaky voice.
"Bring out the family members' ledgers at once, I want to see them in person!"
Zhao Rong had obviously guessed something nifty, and immediately droned.
After years of accumulated authority, at this moment, facing Zhao Rong's order, how dare Chen Si be slow, hurriedly taking out a thick account from the bookshelf.
As he looked through it, Zhao Rong quickly found Lin Hao's account numbers for half a year.
The information recorded on it is surprisingly picked up every month!
Buzz-!
The little kung fu fly flew around in a circle and also conveyed the information above the ledger to Lin Hao's mind.
"Little Si, today you must give old me a reasonable explanation!"
Zhao Rong's face instantly became gloomy as he stared at Chen Si and sternly reprimanded, "What the hell is going on here?"
"Do you need to explain, of course you swallowed my money privately."
Lin Hao said indifferently, then casually pulled a chair and sat down, ready to see how Zhao Rong would solve it.
"I ..."
Seeing that the greedy money was exposed, Chen Si was flustered, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
If it was before, he might have been able to deny it to death, or even slander that Lin Hao had already claimed it and was merely here to cheat money.
However, now that Lin Hao was not only a mage, but also the shock of the kung fu fly just now, how could he dare to talk nonsense?
"Steward, I shouldn't have gotten rich."
At that moment, Chen Si directly knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, "Please give me another chance, I definitely won't dare next time."
After ascertaining that it was true, Zhao Rong was instantly enraged and droned, "Immediately return all 30,000 taels, or else chop off your hands!"
Hearing this, Chen Si was scared into a cold sweat and hurriedly pulled out three golden tickets from his coat pocket.
He knew Zhao Rong's tactics very well and had always been clear in his rewards and punishments.
If they couldn't take the 30,000 taels that had been illegally swallowed by Lin Hao, the end would be absolutely miserable.
"You're not allowed to set foot in the Zhao Mansion again, get out!"
Zhao Rong said coldly.
"Yes, it is ..."
Chen Si was like an amnesty and immediately ran out of the finance room with his ass in the air.
Only after clearing the doorway did Zhao Rong then turn his gaze to Lin Hao, who had been watching the show next to him.
"Please don't spread the word about today's matter, Auntie, and I can double compensate you for your half-yearly salary."
Zhao Rong barely managed to squeeze a smile on his face.
For many years the accounts of the treasury room were, so to speak, well organized under his management, and no errors were ever made.
However, this time Chen Si's corrupt money, if it is spread out, undoubtedly let him nearly perfect duty career, leaving a big failure.
At those words, Lin Hao lifted his eyebrows.
This old man seems to have a high regard for his own reputation.
It's too good an opportunity to pass up.
As his mind turned, Lin Hao smiled, "Fine, but I want ten times as much."
What?
Hearing Lin Hao ask for ten times as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhao Rong almost jumped.
You know, ten times the half-yearly monthly salary, that's 300,000 taels!
Except for the 30,000, the extra ones, he's obviously going to have to pay out of pocket.
"No way, five times at the most!"
Zhao Rong's face surged with a touch of irony as he said decisively.
"Deal."
Lin Hao instantly clicked.
The reason for opening the mouth tenfold was merely to leave room for bargaining later.
Five times the compensation, equivalent to 150,000 taels.
The math has been very impressive.
Afterward, Zhao Rong's heart was like a knife as he handed over 150,000 taels of gold tickets, to Lin Hao.
"Thanks."
Lin Hao grinned and immediately turned around to leave.
"Stealing a chicken."
Zhao Rong sighed in his heart, in order to protect his reputation, this compensation could only be paid out of his own pocket.
Originally, under the family head's instructions, he was merely secretly observing Lin Hao.
Although he did obtain quite a lot of information, he was also ruthlessly slaughtered by Lin Hao because of it, and felt that there was something to lose.
Just like that, Lin Hao took a large amount of golden tickets and walked out of the north courtyard area, then went straight to the black store.
One hundred and fifty thousand taels, which evolved animals used up in one or two times, could not satisfy Lin Hao's powerful ambition.
Money is what he's most desperate for right now, and time is running out.
Because, two months later would be the day Zhao Ling'er would issue her ''Letter of Repudiation'' to him.
It is necessary to build up enough capital in advance of that time!
On his way to the black store, Lin Hao turned into a clothing store.
When he came out again, Lin Hao was already wearing a huge black cloak, hiding his figure as much as possible.
Then went back to the next implement store and bought a metal mask and put it on his face.
With this costume, as long as he didn't make a sound, even his own father and mother would find it difficult to recognize him.
Of course, Lin Hao couldn't play dumb.
His throat moved slightly, and after finding an acceptable tone of voice, he finalized his voice as 'Jing Ke'.
