Chapter 853: Chapter 5: Taking in Disciples_3 Chapter 853: Chapter 5: Taking in Disciples_3 At worst, I’ll just have to work a bit harder and fudge it later…
Cui Daqi was thinking to himself.
He casually flipped open the organized written ssages, and his gaze casually swept over them; however, in the next instant, he couldn’t help but freeze.
This was a page of ordinary paper.
At the very top of the paper, there was a line of graceful handwriting: ‘Spirit Food Departnt October Material Usage, Consumption, and Inventory Table’.
On this ordinary piece of paper, there were dozens of lines, neatly forming a series of boxes.
Inside the boxes, the graceful handwriting listed all the types of materials used by the Spirit Food Departnt in the most recent month, in the topmost row.
...
Above these material types, there was another line of small text, indicating the departnts that used them.
Below, at the very left, were vertical descriptions like ‘Stock In’, ‘Stock Out’, ‘Consumption’, ‘Inventory’, ‘Number of Defects’, ‘Date’…
In each box, the corresponding numbers were filled in.
Its simplicity and clarity ant that even though he had never seen this form of recording, he could instantly understand the situation of material usage within the Spirit Food Departnt at a glance.
Cui Daqi couldn’t help but lift his head in surprise to look at Wang Ba.
Wang Ba, sowhat nervously, hurriedly explained:
“This is a summary table that I made after collating those previous data, for easier overview.
Source: , updated on ƝονǤ0.ᴄ0
However, there are so discrepancies in the previous records, so there are so blanks that still need to be verified again.
This page is followed by the detailed usage of each material…”
Whatever was said next, Cui Daqi could no longer hear clearly.
He struggled to keep his expression in check, trying not to let Wang Ba notice the…
shock and joy in his heart.
At that mont, he had only one thought:
What virtues and abilities does Senior Brother Yao have!
What kind of divine disciple is this!?
Steady and sensible, respectful to his teachers and valuing the proper path, with good talent and a mastery of unique skills.
The key point was he even handled the troubleso chores that gave him a headache with such ease and creativity…
“…Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master?”
Wang Ba’s voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
Cui Daqi then abruptly snapped back to reality, only to see Wang Ba looking at him with confusion and concern.
He coughed awkwardly, his stiff face managing to squeeze out a smile:
“Oh, good…
okay, I understand.”
Wang Ba quickly said, “Then I’ll go and verify each data point later, does that work for you, Uncle-Master?”
Cui Daqi was montarily lost:
“Verify?”
He then imdiately ca to his senses:
“Ah, yes, of course, go ahead.
Thank you for your hard work.”
Wang Ba nodded his head and was about to leave when Cui Daqi suddenly rembered sothing and pointed to a stack of written ssages in front of him, casually saying:
“Right, there is so material here that needs to be handled.
You can take a look at it; there is no rush, just bring it to when you’re free in the next couple of days.”
Wang Ba had no objections.
Although he hadn’t moved into his Vice Minister’s office, there was actually not much work to do in the Refining Room.
The Deacons and lower officials were all very proactive and enthusiastic, and the efficiency seed to have increased considerably, so for the ti being, as Vice Minister, he didn’t need to get his hands dirty.
He then took the whole stack of written ssages with him.
And just as the door closed, Cui Daqi, who had been sitting behind the desk, couldn’t contain himself and abruptly stood up, clenching his fists in joy:
“I am finally not obliged to deal with these broken trifles every day.”
“These have been irritating to death.”
At that mont, as if sensing sothing, he sat back down quickly, taking the ‘table’ into his hands with a slightly furrowed brow, his deanor serious as he examined it.
The next mont, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Wang Ba’s voice ca from outside:
“Uncle-Master, where are the keys to the storeroom?”
Cui Daqi’s tense expression imdiately relaxed, and he pondered before responding:
“They are with big drinker He, go ask him for them.
And tell him to co see .”
“Yes.”
As soon as he felt Wang Ba had descended the stairs, Cui Daqi finally couldn’t hold back anymore, standing up again with a joyful expression on his face.
He couldn’t help but flip through the written ssages that Wang Ba had organized once more.
Indeed, many data entries beside these written ssages were specially marked and revised with red ink—so had errors, so were incomplete, all clear and apparent.
Clearly, Wang Ba had thoroughly sorted and summarized the data inside these written ssages.
The data in that table also had a clear basis.
Unable to resist, Cui Daqi flipped back to that table again, his face brimming with unrestrained joy.
It was at that mont.
“Old Cui, what did you call for…”
Big drinker He ca in reeking of alcohol, lazily pushing the door open, only to see Cui Daqi with a face full of joy, and couldn’t help being slightly surprised:
“What’s the occasion, find a new partner?”
“Go on, get out!”
Cui Daqi, annoyed by the sight of big drinker He, pointed to the table organized by Wang Ba:
“You’re both Vice Ministers, but look at Martial Nephew Wang.
Old He, I’m not trying to criticize you, but if I were you, I’d be too ashad to show my face.”
Big drinker He was reprimanded into confusion, walking forward skeptically and laying his eyes on that table on the desk.
He then couldn’t help but pause.
After all, he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator; while organizing these data was difficult for him, understanding them was not.
In just a glance, he realized what was before him, sowhat surprised he said:
“Old Cui, you had this skill?
It’s only been one night, and you’ve done quite a convincing job!”
“I keep telling you, it was Martial Nephew Wang.
He has finished the work that was troubling you.”
Cui Daqi, annoyed by the other’s alcohol sll, emphatically tapped on the table.
