Now it was Qiao Tianchang's turn to be speechless. No wonder he could develop Tongbaozhai to this point.
"You are really sensitive to numbers, but have you found anything after reading so many account books?" Qiao Tianchang looked at Ning Mengyao and asked.
Ning Mengyao nodded: "Look at this account book first."
Qiao Tianchang took it and looked at it suspiciously. The more he looked at it, the more he frowned: "It's been losing money?"
If he remembered correctly, the business in this family is still relatively good. Even if it cannot make as much money as Tongbaozhai, it will not reach this point, right
The corners of Ning Mengyao's mouth curled up slightly, she looked at Qiao Tianchang and said, "You are looking at it from the other side."
Qiao Tianchang started turning the pages from the last page.
After reading it, his eyes were full of surprise: "They used the account book to record information backwards?"
"Well, not only is it written backwards, but many places in it are messed up. Just like this one, you have to start reading from the middle. After reading part of it, you have to start from the last page, and then start from the front. Start reading." Ning Mengyao nodded and explained to Qiao Tianchang.
Qiao Tianchang looked at the account book in his hand with a speechless expression. He just read the account book according to the method Ning Mengyao said, and it was exactly the same as what she said.
"How did you find out?"
"Actually, it's just my memory of the numbers. I don't understand them very well." She felt this way after reading the account book.
"But why did they do that? Wouldn't it be very troublesome?" What do they think if the account books are messed up like this
Ning Mengyao looked at Qiao Tianchang funny, took out a ledger from the side and placed it in front of Qiao Tianchang: "Tianchang, did you find anything wrong?"
Qiao Tianchang looked carefully and finally saw a few small numbers in the lower left corner of Zhang Ben.
"Yao Yao, I understand what you mean. They tampered with the cover of the account book. When most people get this account book, what they care about most is the content inside, not the surface." Qiao Tianchang said with sudden realization.
Ning Mengyao nodded: "You are right, and if you don't discover the secrets in the ledger, it will be useless even if you find the mark on the cover of the ledger."
"But I still don't understand."
"What don't you understand?"
"I can't tell. What is their purpose in doing this?"
Regarding Qiao Tianchang's question, Ning Mengyao put the paper on which she recorded the numbers into his hands.
This piece of paper now not only records numbers, but also records a lot of Chinese characters, but they are irregularly disrupted, and it is difficult to understand what it means.
"These… "
"Actually, I discovered this accidentally. The first word at the beginning of each page of the ledger is connected to the last word on the following page, and the last word is connected to the first word on the next page. Look at it like this account book, you use the method I told you to look at it." Ning Mengyao handed the first account book to Qiao Tianchang.
Qiao Tianchang took the account book and looked through it. When he read it, he was surprised because the words in the account book actually related to that family.
"Yao Yao, what on earth is going on?"
"I can't give you the answer to this now. I have to read all the ledgers and arrange all the words before I can tell you the answer." Ning Mengyao smiled and shook her head. The arrangement of the words was even more complicated and difficult to find, which was why she hadn't finished reading the account book yet.
Qiao Tianchang nodded: "Okay, but you must also pay attention to rest. We are not in a hurry."
"Don't worry, with Qingshuang watching me, I can't even look at the account book for a while." Ning Mengyao said helplessly and funny.
Qiao Tianchang leaned next to Ning Mengyao, looking at him and suddenly feeling a little sleepy.
