I Am a Straightforward Person Who Doesn't Lie

The Bayer Federation Federal Revenue Service was the first authority to use photosensitive materials for investigation work, which is surprising, but that's how it is.

Since the invention of the Mercury Lamp, some photosensitive materials and its effects have been mainly used in the printing and dyeing industries. The Federal Revenue Service and the Federal Mint also use these photosensitive materials in large quantities, so much so that sometimes people don't even realize that the banknotes and coins in their hands have actually been marked.

And these marks will be completely revealed with a simple shine of ultraviolet light.

He was very satisfied. There were no marks on this batch of coins, which meant that no one was targeting him.

Lin Qi had considered this issue. He used a change of perspective. Assuming he was from the Federal Revenue Service and wanted to catch Lin Qi's weakness, what would be the most likely way for him to succeed? The answer was simple: use a method approved by the Bureau of Investigation or the Sabine City judicial system to "dye" some coins, and then send them to Lin Qi through certain channels, and then have them flow into Mr. Fox's laundry.

At that time, neither Lin Qi nor Mr. Fox could explain why so many dyed coins appeared here. They only needed to modify the dates on some key evidence, and everything would be technically complete.

The entire crime chain would be complete, and they could catch all these people in one fell swoop. Of course, this was a relatively simple method, but the simpler it was, the more effective it was, at least in Lin Qi's own opinion.

Neither "himself," a high school student who had just entered society, nor Mr. Fox, a guy who had been in society for a while but still had no wisdom, was a match for technological progress.

They wouldn't know that there were marks on the coins in their hands until they appeared in court, and then they might know why they fell.

Turning off the ultraviolet light, Lin Qi scratched his head, poured the coins into another iron box, and, carrying a small bucket, poured cleaning agent on the coins.

Some marks can be revealed by ultraviolet light, while others need to be made visible through other means. The solution to them is actually very simple: chemical cleaning agents.

Regardless of whether they exist or not, and regardless of whether doing so is effective, at least Lin Qi felt that this was not excessive caution. Or rather, every transaction that could potentially lead to a prison sentence must be approached with caution, and excessive caution at that.

After doing all this, he took some coins and poured them onto a sieve to dry, preparing to go out. He still had a few things to do, such as needing a coin sorter.

Since this was a legal business that exploited legal loopholes, it obviously had to be done more formally, and sorting the coins would make everything look more legitimate.

There were many blacksmith shops in Sabine City. In the eyes of many people, blacksmith shops, a "medieval" thing, shouldn't still exist in modern metropolises, but in fact, every city has many blacksmith shops, and their business is still quite good.

On the one hand, the more developed the society, the more anti-intellectual people there are who always believe that metal products made by pure hand-forged metallurgy are better than those made by emotionless machines, because these handmade products contain the spirit of the craftsman...

On the other hand, not everyone has enough budget to open a mold for a certain product. They don't need piles of goods, just one, which makes it necessary for blacksmith shops to continue to exist.

There were some blacksmith shops around Lin Qi's warehouse office. They could avoid harassment from the Environmental Protection Agency by being slightly away from the City Center, and they could also save a lot of rent costs.

When Lin Qi asked three blacksmith shops in a row and the blacksmiths all said that they had never heard of a "coin sorter" and there were no ready-made products, Lin Qi realized that he had overlooked something again, which was to make a patent.

Patents are a very special existence. If an ordinary person holds a large number of key patents, it is very likely that their entire family will die inexplicably, leading to the direct end of the protection period of the patents in their hands.

But if these patents are in the hands of some capable people, then they will become a goose that lays golden eggs.

While planning to register a patent and hire a lawyer, Lin Qi quickly returned to his office. Near noon, a lady who looked about thirty years old, wearing glasses, and with some freckles came to the office.

Her clothes may not have been fashionable enough, but they were sophisticated enough, and it could be seen that she was at least a middle-class person. Those clothes on her would never appear on the lower class and the proletariat.

"Hello, I'm Lin Qi..." Lin Qi took the initiative to extend his hand. His handsome appearance and the special temperament on his body could easily bring anyone closer. The young lady also extended her hand and shook his hand without much precaution, and introduced herself.

"Hello, Vera!"

Lin Qi quickly let go of her hand, invited Vera into his office, and poured her a cup of instant coffee. "I'm sorry, this place has just been set up and hasn't had time to be renovated. If you don't mind..."

Vera generously expressed her understanding, and then Lin Qi began to introduce the nature and content of the company's operations. She listened carefully and sometimes asked questions.

After the two chatted for about half an hour, Vera also drank some instant coffee. Her complexion looked very relaxed. "I think I understand, Mr. Lin Qi. I have to say that you have a very clear concept of financial auditing. So, are you planning to hire our firm to do bookkeeping or directly hire an accountant?"

She followed up with an explanation: "Please rest assured that our accounting firm has a dedicated legal advisor and will sign a confidentiality agreement, and will not disclose any financial content to anyone without your authorization."

"I personally prefer the agency bookkeeping cooperation model, which can save you a large amount of money. Many start-up companies choose this model."

Lin Qi smiled without commenting, but instead asked a question that made Vera's face blush slightly, "Are all the accountants in your firm as beautiful as you?"

She lowered her head a little embarrassedly, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose to hide the embarrassment and surprise in her heart when she was praised, and at the same time glared at Lin Qi.

Her flushed cheeks and charming glance made Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh, "Sorry, I didn't mean anything else. Actually, I'm not a frivolous person, but..." He shrugged, "Just like the Gus People can't help but sing when they see the goddess of beauty, people can't help but praise when they see beautiful things. I hope you can forgive me."

These words made Vera feel a little secretly happy, but also felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little wrong. She was about to stand up and say goodbye to this young man, but Lin Qi took the lead and sincerely apologized, expressing his apology for his behavior.

"I forgive you..." Vera seemed to be moved by Lin Qi's sincerity, or maybe it was because she couldn't bear to continue to embarrass a handsome young man. In short, she forgave Lin Qi's previous recklessness, and added, "...and I'm not pretty either."

Lin Qi's slightly smiling gaze gave her a hard-to-describe emotion that was quietly fermenting, and the hormones in her body began to secrete excessively. The chemical victory made her breathing a little short.

She touched her hot cheeks and looked away from the young man, "You haven't answered me yet, Mr. Lin Qi, which cooperation method do you want to choose?"

Lin Qi seemed to think about it seriously for a while before answering, "Maybe I need a full-time accountant, Ms. Vera."

This answer surprised Vera. Many small and micro enterprises use the agency bookkeeping model. The salary of a full-time accountant can hire almost two ordinary employees, and salary expenses are the first difficulty faced by small and micro enterprises.

She thought that Lin Qi would choose a relatively simple and cheap cooperation method such as agency bookkeeping, but what she didn't expect was that he chose full-time from the beginning, which made Vera uncontrollably develop an idea that she herself found ridiculous, and this idea soon became a reality.

"But I have one condition, I hope that person is you!"
