304 A Long-distance Gift

Meanwhile, Qiao Yue was already back in her room.

She didn’t sympathize with the people who were punished today. They had all done something bad and they deserve to suffer the consequences.

When she turned on her computer, she saw that Qiao Jing had already sent her information about housekeeping and financial situation of the family over the past few months.

Qiao Yue skimmed through the information. Although the Qiao household was large, the financial management of it was simple. Tao Xi didn’t strictly control their expenses.

The consequence of this was that a lot of expenses seemed to be inflated, and there were likely kickbacks.

Just from the past six months’ bills, nearly 100,000 yuan had gone missing. If this had been going on for a while, it wouldn’t be difficult to squander away the family fortunes over time.

The money that Qiao Yi and Qiao Li invested in Mahad probably came from these household expenses.

They used money from the family to invest in their illegal business, without any regard for the family reputation.

Qiao Yue sent the household account information and the tutorial she had created for the finance department when she was managing KA to Qiao Ying.

Shortly after, there was a knock on her door.

“Fifth brother, why did you send me these?” Qiao Ying’s face was a little flustered. She never thought that she would one day have the right and power to manage the Qiao household.

“Second brother would like us to manage the household while first aunt is on vacation.” Qiao Yue explained.

Qiao Ying furrowed her brows when she heard this. Her tiny face was all scrunched up, like she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to do the job well.

Qiao Yue reached out and patted Qiao Ying on the head. “These are not difficult. I’ve also attached a tutorial in my email. I believe that you will do well.”

Qiao Ying looked at the tutorial. Each lesson was only about ten minutes long.

It was the most basic finance course, and the contents were very practical. It would basically prepare Qiao Ying for the job she was going to take on.

“Things like finance are a little too difficult for me. I’m afraid I can’t do it. Why don’t we get fourth brother to manage finances and I’ll help with other things…”

“Don’t pass it on. It’s second brother’s wish that you are in charge.” Qiao Yue said with a smile.

Although Qiao Ying was a coward, being a coward had its benefits.

Qiao Ying was very cautious in her work. She was good at mathematics and was very meticulous.

Most importantly, she was not a greedy person and was not as ambitious as the two elders. Qiao Yue felt that Qiao Ying was very suitable as the finance manager of the Qiao household.

“Why don’t you give it a shot. I’ll help you if there’s anything you don’t understand.” Qiao Yue passed the household account book to Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying nodded. Since Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing both believed in her, she was willing to give it a try.

After Qiao Ying left, Qiao Yue looked through the documents again. There were many things that needed sorting through. There were property and shop rents to be collected, and New Year supplies to be bought.

Friends and family would visit each other and exchange gifts over the New Year. They would need to prepare for that.

Fortunately, Qiao Yue had experience in managing a large company like KA. So, to her, this wasn’t a difficult task.

Qiao Yue made a rough plan and set a timetable for herself to deal with these things.

It was already 8 p.m. when she was done. She went to a shelf in her room and opened a gift box, which was sent by Colonel Su from The Custodians.

The packaging wasn’t very well done; it was even a little sloppy.

The box inside the wrapping paper was very sturdy though. It wasn’t damaged despite rough handling by the courier.

Qiao Yue shook the box, and it made a muffled sound. The box was heavy, and she didn’t know what was inside.

When she opened the box, she saw a Custodian bulletproof vest, a pair of motorcycle gloves, and a gun. The empty space within the box was filled with colorfully wrapped fruit-flavored sweets.

Qiao Yue’s head was full of question marks.

What kind of packaging style is this? Was “combat girl” the style of The Custodians?

Qiao Yue took out the bulletproof vest and put it on.

The bulletproof vest was just the right size for her, and the motorcycle gloves were also very snug and warm.

She picked up the gun. There was a small “moon” character and a moon engraved on it.

It seemed that Colonel Su had misunderstood and thought that her name was Qiao Yue, with the “moon” character.

However, it was a good gun, a Colt M2000, only slightly worse than the Beretta 92F she often used.

The Custodians were very generous to give her such a big gift.
