247: Chapter 247 True or False First Love 47_1 247: Chapter 247 True or False First Love 47_1 Yeah, when Accountant Yang thought about this, she couldn’t help but get excited.
She was older than Zhou Lina and had already had a child by then, and still made mistakes.
There’s no reason why a girl Zhou Lina’s age wouldn’t make mistakes.
Heh, as long as she screws up, it’s her chance, Accountant Yang thought, suddenly feeling much better.
That’s right, costs are very important, if sothing isn’t calculated correctly, it can lead to serious problems.
Zhou Lina didn’t have ti to concern herself with Accountant Yang’s thoughts; she was truly swamped.
She had been wondering how to learn cost accounting, only to be handed a thick stack of reports, “Can these be done in three days?”
“You want them by Wednesday after work?” Oh my God, Zhou Lina felt faint.
If it were computerized accounting, it wouldn’t be a big deal, really could be done with ease, but the problem was this wasn’t done by computer, but by human brain.
Even if she was quick at math, it wasn’t supposed to be like this, especially without a calculator.
“What tool should I use to calculate?” It couldn’t possibly be paper accounting.
It was only then that Accountant Feng rembered sothing, that Zhou Lina hadn’t studied finance and thus didn’t know about the finance departnt’s “dining tool.”
“I’ll take you to get an abacus,” Accountant Feng took Zhou Lina to logistics to get an abacus.
“From now on, use this to crunch numbers.”
An abacus, of course Zhou Lina knew what this was, it was the calculation tool from before calculators.
She just never imagined that one day she would have to use it to tally numbers.
“It’s quite easy,” Accountant Feng demonstrated briefly after which, “you just need to practice a bit.”
She really was busy, about to fly off the handle busy, “Also, if you work late, you can take so back with you to work on.”
“Rember, I need them by Wednesday after work.” Even though she knew Zhou Lina wasn’t proficient with the abacus, work hours couldn’t be changed.
What the heck?
Oh my God, Zhou Lina really had to hold back from cursing, as people usually get so training before starting a job, but she got none whatsoever.
No training was bad enough, but shouldn’t she have been allowed to adapt after starting the job?
And yet, she was imdiately saddled with so many duties, seriously pressed for ti and overwheld with tasks.
What to do?
Just shrink back?
No way, although she did feel a bit like retreating, she couldn’t just quit on the first day in the finance departnt.
Thinking about it, if she were to be rejected by the finance departnt, how many other departnts could she go to?
She couldn’t join departnts that were too professional or technical, nor the union, let alone the labor and wages departnt.
After much consideration, the most likely place would be the Won’s Federation?
My God, Zhou Lina was truly scared stiff.
The Won’s Federation and the union might be two different departnts, but their work was pretty similar, dealing with all sorts of dostic issues, and Zhou Lina really couldn’t cope with that.
Listening to those people’s complaints, she felt like exploding.
After all that, staying in the finance departnt seed the only option, the only one fit for her.
Given such an outco, what could she do?
She’d have to study hard and work diligently.
Although she had never used an abacus before, before eating, she found she could use it quite easily, even trying to calculate a few numbers, the results matching those done by pen.
Zhou Lina let out a sigh of relief.
Even though it had taken up the whole morning, having a handy calculation tool was really enough.
Picking up her al tray, she got ready to go to the cafeteria for food, as nothing was more important than eating.
Only with a good and hearty lunch could one have the energy to work well in the afternoon.
No one called Zhou Lina to lunch together, and she didn’t mind, she went to the union and called Zhang Shifen to dine with her.
On the way to the canteen, Zhang Shifen got a good understanding of Zhou Lina’s work situation that morning.
Seeing the amount of data that Zhou Lina was gesturing she needed to calculate, she too was astonished.
Swallowing hard, “It really is a bit much.”
“It’s not just a bit much, it’s really a lot,” Zhou Lina pouted, thinking about Friday.
“I didn’t expect to work overti on my first day at work.”
“I can’t even imagine how many days a week I would work overti if I were in finance.” It’s already sad enough with just one day off a week.
And now there’s talk of taking work ho after hours to do calculations, it’s practically catching up with the 996 culture of the future.
Now, starting work at half-past seven and finishing at four-thirty, the working hours are already a bit long, and then there’s another three to four hours of work at ho, easily exceeding 12 hours a day.
Listening to Zhou Lina’s continual grumbling, Zhang Shifen wondered in her heart if it was really so busy in the financial departnt.
Zhang Shifen began to feel bewildered, but knowing Zhou Lina’s character, she knew she wasn’t one to lie.
After so thought, Zhang Shifen could only sigh, “The financial departnt really isn’t easy.”
“No worries, my girl, I’ll make you so delicious food in a day or two, I’ll make you so at dish.” Zhang Shifen knew how to comfort children.
Just get straight to the point, serve up so at; there’s nothing that eating at can’t fix.
Usually, Zhou Lina would be thrilled at the ntion of at, but now the thought of it being the result of her overti left her unable to feel excited.
“Forget it, it’s hot, let’s keep it light,” Zhou Lina felt that they needed to keep a low profile at the mont.
“After all, we’ve redone the attic and bought furniture.” Even though they found an old cabinet at the junkyard and had the carpenter refurbish it, it still cost labor, not to ntion the paint.
“Everyone knows we’ve spent quite a bit of money, if we’re extravagant with food and drink, people will think we’re well-off.”
Even though they said they borrowed the money from Gu Wei, don’t borrowed funds have to be repaid?
“Fortunately, it’s sumr, and it’s okay not to eat at.” In winter, life without at is indeed hard to bear.
Zhou Lina and Zhang Shifen quickly finished their lunch and returned to the office; Zhou Lina had planned to start work early during the midday rest.
But she didn’t anticipate that many in the finance office were already taking a nap on their desks.
Well, what else could she do?
She definitely couldn’t start clacking away at her abacus, that would really be asking for trouble.
After so thought, Zhou Lina decided to take a short rest as well, needing to gather enough energy for a more productive afternoon of work.
It must be said that after briefly resting at noon, the work state in the afternoon had improved a lot.
No longer feeling drowsy, the work efficiency shot up.
In terms of speed with the abacus, Zhou Lina was arguably among the slowest in the finance departnt, much slower than Accountant Yang.
But the issue was that she had just learned it today, and already she was this fast; given ti, wouldn’t her speed increase rapidly?
Accountant Feng was also surprised, giving so much workload to an old hand, aiming to deliver by Wednesday afternoon was quite a stretch.
She didn’t want Zhou Lina to back down because it was difficult, but rather to hold back a bit.
Seeing her speed with the abacus now, she was starting to get a bit lost about this girl.
