Walking Among Humans

Chapter 21: Walking Among Mortals

Often, everyone knows that their observations shouldn't be limited to the surface of things; after all, the world contains something called "miracles."

But more often, people still believe their first impressions and what they see at first glance.

To allow an enterprise with a registered capital of only one hundred to take off and become a group company... it's not impossible, but it doesn't seem likely to happen to a small enterprise with a registered capital of only one hundred.

Vera's husband's indifference made her feel a little unhappy, after all, this was where she was about to work, but she didn't show it, appearing to acknowledge her husband's sarcastic remarks.

Some women shout for equality and walk naked in the streets, but some women still stay at home, obedient to their husbands.

Later that evening, after the family had eaten and the child was put to sleep, Vera showered and returned to the bedroom in a silk nightgown.

She didn't know if it was because of that young man, but her mood today, the chemical reactions in her body, were a little abnormal; her body temperature was about half a degree higher than usual.

Her face flushed, she leaned against the headboard, looking sideways at her husband, her cheeks burning. She had just raised her arm to greet her husband when he put the book in his hand on the bedside table, glanced at her askance, and lay down on the bed. "I'm tired, let's sleep."

The expectation and fire in her heart were instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water, her expression became a little stiff, and her burning cheeks quickly cooled down.

After a few seconds of silence, she nodded, lay down on the bed, covered herself with a light blanket, and gradually fell into a dream after a long sigh.

Early the next morning, her husband drove to work. Watching her husband leave, she felt a little lost. These past few years...

Her understanding of her husband's work was limited to his workplace and the not-so-specific job. As for everything else, she didn't know at all. The man didn't want to tell her, and she didn't ask further.

After sending the child to school with the maid, she hurried to the firm and communicated with the management about these matters. They called Lin Qi, hoping to communicate with Mr. Lin Qi face-to-face to confirm the matter.

Lin Qi arrived quickly. Seeing him, Vera couldn't help but smile. She thought of the young man's compliments to her yesterday.

In fact, this situation often happens. Without accountants, they have no way to effectively save operating costs, such as tax avoidance. Lawyers can't handle this, only accountants can.

So most of the time, business owners will compliment the accountants who come to work, praising them for being young and handsome or beautiful, but Lin Qi's praise seemed different from others, able to make her a little happier.

After signing the agreement, the General Manager looked at the contract with satisfaction, and then asked the secretary to put it in the archive for safekeeping.

"Mr. Lin Qi, do you have a designated candidate?" The General Manager took the initiative to hand over a Pure Color Kolef—a pure blue cone, slightly slender at both ends like a spindle.

This is an alternative consumable different from tobacco. It is not suitable for smoking. Most of the time, it is used to feel its special taste through the agitation of the taste buds to obtain a satisfaction far greater than cigarettes.

However, some people will also smoke it, which requires taking some risks, such as a short-term increase in blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and other problems. But even if there are many problems, some people still smoke it, so Kolef is also divided into two factions.

One is a mixed type Mixed Color Kolef mixed with tobacco leaves, with some colors and browns representing its ingredient content. This type is smokable and relatively cheap.

The other is the Pure Color Kolef in Lin Qi's hand. It cannot be inhaled into the body, but can only feel its unique fragrance and a kind of pleasure that ordinary people cannot enjoy in the mouth.

Pure blue Kolef, one costs about twenty yuan, not the best, but not the worst.

Lin Qi curiously cut open both ends, held it over a female-shaped blowtorch holding a pottery jar on the table, took a few puffs, and nodded.

The rich aroma burst in his mouth with a feeling he couldn't describe. It was as if there were amazing little balls in the smoke he inhaled. As he "tasted" them, these little balls began to shatter, and the aroma and more flavors flowed out, very magical.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the faint sense of pleasure made him feel emotional. This is why people make money. You need to have money to enjoy these wonderful things.

"Lady Vera, I have met Lady Vera once. I am only more familiar with her here. If there have not been too many errors in her work experience..." Lin Qi slowly shrugged his shoulders while exhaling smoke, "Then why choose someone I don't know?"

No accounting firm would admit that the accountants affiliated with their firm had made major audit errors. This would be like smashing their own signboard, especially since Lady Vera had not made any such errors.

Like overreporting taxes by a dozen yuan or underreporting by a dozen yuan, these are actually minor problems. In the eyes of professional accountants, these problems can no longer be called problems. They have ways to smooth out these problems in the next accounting process.

So, Lady Vera has no problems.

The General Manager nodded and pressed the speed dial button on the phone on the table. The blue light came on, "Have Lady Vera come to my office, now."

In less than a minute, after a brief knock on the door and the General Manager's permission, Vera walked in.

She subconsciously glanced at Lin Qi, and Lin Qi happened to be looking at her too. The two made a very brief contact before quickly separating.

The General Manager was not able to imagine that the expressions between the two were different from ordinary people, but even if he did, he would not know what it was.

"Mr. Lin Qi has signed a three-year agreement with us, and he also specifically wants you to be the accountant for Great Empire Company. If you personally have no objections..." The General Manager looked at Vera, signaling her to agree.

This job is very easy. No one would think that a company with a registered capital of only one hundred would be very busy. Even if it is just an empty shell, and a deeper hidden company needs this empty shell to run some accounts, it is impossible to be too much.

The Revenue Service and the Bank are not just there for show. All accounts will be within a reasonable and legal range, which also means that Vera will have a long period of leisure. Nothing is more suitable for women than this kind of work.

This is the common view of most men. They are suitable for some simple, easy, not-so-busy jobs that do not involve physical labor and excessive mental labor, just like they can only do the job of giving birth and preparing to give birth.

Vera was still struggling in her heart. She looked at Lin Qi again. Lin Qi was still looking at her. His gaze caused some special changes in Vera's emotions.

It was not a fiery gaze, nor was it cold. It had no strong fluctuations, as warm and moist as annoying lukewarm water, not hot enough, nor cold enough.

Most people probably wouldn't like such a look, but there will always be someone who does, such as a housewife who has a stable life and doesn't want to prove herself.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "I'm willing."
