Chapter 58. It was hard to get a greeting

Mu Ru had never studied accounting, so she actually didn't know anything about accounting.

She gazed at the complicated financial accounts, and she felt like her head was going to explode.

She knew that something was really wrong with the transactions, because accounts were not supposed to be settled that way.

The Dongfang Group's financial manager was Dongfang Mo's uncle, Dongfang Yingcai. He managed all the finances of the Dongfang Group. Although Dongfang Mo was required to sign documents and checks for many large expenditures, he didn't need to sign the release of smaller amounts.

Although Mu Ru did not understand accounting, she knew how to sort them out. She gradually sorted out the companies and then sorted out their transactions.

After a whole week, she was finally able to sort out the accounts for the past year. She also discovered something strange. The Dongfang Group would transfer a sum of almost one million to a company called Yingmei almost every month.

According to the by-laws of the Dongfang Group, any expenditures above one million yuan had to be approved by Dongfang Mo. Transactions below one million yuan only needed Dongfang Yingwu's approval.

However, the amount transferred to Yingmei every month was between nine hundred thousand and one million yuan. Perhaps that was why no one really took notice of it. No one questioned its legitimacy and the purpose of the transactions.

Mu Ru had no idea what company Yingmei was, but she deduced that it was an advertising company.

Other than the Anglo American company, Dongfang Mo also mentioned the MQ Company. Dongfang Mo said that a large sum of money remained unaccounted for. He probably overlooked the fact that an amount of thirty million was transferred to MQ Company in the previous month.

This was also a very well-disguised transfer because an amount that large must have been signed and approved by Dongfang Mo. Mu Ru read the details of the transfer and found out that it was for the acquisition of a company called AG Company. However, it was questionable that there was no receipt of the transaction.

She marked the problematic areas with red and yellow and then rang the doorbell to inform the people outside that she was done with the task.

If it wasn't for the fact that the confinement room was too narrow and deserted, she thought it was a good place to live in. She thought it was a very safe room because she had already been there for a week. The demon that had haunted her during her first few nights at the house never showed up when she was at the confinement room.

The door to the confinement room opened. When she walked out of the door, she saw Dongfang Mo with a gloomy expression. He simply looked at her tired and worn face but didn't say anything about it.

"Have you sorted everything out?" he asked.

She immediately handed him the form.

She said, "I've marked all the areas that don't match up with each other with a colored pen. I don't know if there's really a problem. I'm just judging from the transaction of the accounts—"

Dongfang Mo impatiently cut her off. "All right. You can go now."

Dongfang Mo obviously did not have the patience to listen to whatever she had to say. With a wave of his hand, he told her to quickly get lost. Meanwhile, he gathered the documents she handed him and quickly turned his wheelchair around to leave.

Mu Ru looked at his cold back and bit her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes. She had been locked in the confinement room for a week and had been working day and night. She had finally completed the task that he had given her, but he did not even say anything.

He did not even ask how she was. He did not even thank her.

As Mu Ru was slowly walking back to the Dragon Garden, Mother Liu just happened to come out of the kitchen. Mother Liu looked at Mu Ru's pale and haggard face.

"Young Madam, it's been hard on you. Quickly go upstairs and wash up. I've made your favorite lion's head dish. You can eat it later," Mother Liu said to Mu Ru.
