Chapter 1223: Talent for Mathematics (1)
The retribution came too quickly. When Ji Xiaomu was looking at the account book helplessly, Shuangxi wanted to help, so she curiously asked Fu Wenwen what the numbers in the account book meant. Ji Xiaomu taught her, and unexpectedly Shuangxi learned it.
Bai Yang taught Shuangxi, and now Shuangxi is no longer a maid. She has transformed herself into Ji Xiaomu's financial director.
For Ji Xiaomu, Shuangxi’s appearance was like someone bringing her a pillow when she was sleepy. It smelled so good.
"Shuangxi, calculate carefully. I will increase your monthly salary when you finish calculating!" Mother Ji watched Shuangxi calculating in the account book flexibly. Bai Yang and Bai Yichen on the side felt ashamed to go back to see the teacher who taught him arithmetic in the Bai family after seeing the speed of Shuangxi's calculation. The old man himself stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled.
People are more mad than people.
"Madam, my monthly salary is already very high..." Shuangxi blushed when she heard what Ji Xiaomu said. The monthly salary of a maid was only one or two taels, which was already twice as high as that of the maids in other mansions.
But during these six days, what Shuangxi heard Ji Xiaomu talk about the most was to increase her monthly allowance. At first, she was very happy, as her allowance had increased from one tael to two taels, and she was already very satisfied.
The next day, the amount increased from two taels to ten taels, which made Shuangxi even more flattered.
As a result, on the third day, Ji Xiaou raised her salary from ten taels to twenty taels. Shuangxi felt that it was a bit too fast and could not accept it.
The fourth day was even more outrageous. Bai Yichen came over and directly offered Ji Xiaomu a hundred taels of silver, asking Ji Xiaomu to give Shuangxi to him. Shuangxi refused Bai Yichen, so Ji Xiaomu directly raised the price to fifty taels of silver.
On the fifth day, Bai Yichen came with an old gentleman. When the old gentleman saw Shuangxi, he was overjoyed and insisted on accepting her as his disciple. After Ji Xiaomu agreed, Shuangxi began to be taught arithmetic by the old gentleman. At the end of the day, Shuangxi could already calculate an account book independently. This made Ji Xiaomu even happier, and the fifty taels became one hundred taels.
Today is the sixth day. Shuangxi has already solved two account books, and there is no difference in the numbers. The old man recalculated them himself and handed them in perfectly.
"It's a shame for you to just be an accountant. Why don't you come with me?" The old man felt that it was a waste of talent for Ji Xiaomu to let a genius like Shuangxi work as an accountant. She should do scientific research.
"Thank you, sir, but I just want to stay with you, madam. I don't have any lofty ambitions." Shuangxi blushed and rejected the old man's request. She just wanted to stay with Ji Xiaomu and live an ordinary life.
"Madam, you see..." Seeing that he could not convince Shuangxi, the old man turned to look at Ji Xiaomu, hoping that she would consider Shuangxi's talent and let her learn arithmetic from him.
"Sir, what is the purpose of learning this?" Ji Xiaowu looked at the old man and asked with a smile. "To get promoted, to make money? Or to benefit the country?"
"This...must be to become a useful person and benefit others." The old man replied cautiously.
I always feel that there is something fishy about what the lady said.
"Then she is benefiting me now! She has become a very useful person." Aunt Ji smiled and the old man choked.
"Ma'am, her destination is not just this." The old man said seriously.
"But that's not her ambition. You can't force her or use moral blackmail to make her do something she doesn't want to do, right? Even if it's a good thing, it will become a bad thing once you force her." Ji Xiaowu reminded.
"How does Madam know her wishes?" the old gentleman asked stubbornly.
