Chapter 1562: Chapter 844: The New Steward of the Outpost Base (Part 3)

The Third Division is about to return, and if Qing Chen dares to fight back now, he’ll be labeled a spy. If he doesn’t fight back, breaking a few ribs at this critical moment could mean certain death in the Taboo Forest.

Corgi had no intention of leaving Qing Chen alive.

At this moment, Qing Chen was like Lin Chong on the road to exile, with officials bribed to take his life.

But Qing Chen remained calm, waiting.

The two soldiers behind Corgi slowly approached, and at that moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly from the corridor outside the bathroom, “Hey, the cleaner, right, Flash! Flash! Where are you?”

Corgi’s expression changed — it was the voice of Marquis Bolton!

Marquis Bolton rushed into the bathroom, not even minding the stench. He grabbed Qing Chen’s shoulder and rambled, “He added me as a friend! He still remembers you. He said that your friend is his friend! I really didn’t expect him to add me. And he even said we should go on an instance run together sometime! Come on, come with me to the office and tell me what to do next. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you knew him!”

In fact, Qing Chen could understand Marquis Bolton’s excitement.

Honestly, when Qing Chen was younger, if someone had said they could help him add Jay Chou as a friend, he might have been even more excited than Duke Bolton…

Qing Chen said, “My lord Marquis, I still have to clean the bathroom…”

Marquis Bolton came to his senses, glanced at Corgi and the two soldiers behind him, who were still trying to hide the steel rods in their hands…

The Marquis knew exactly what was happening and coldly said to Corgi, “The three of you will clean the bathroom for the next week.”

Corgi said with a bitter face, “My lord Marquis, I still have to manage the roster.”

“You won’t have to manage it anymore,” Marquis Bolton said as he led Qing Chen to the office.

This Marquis Bolton was like an emperor in the outpost. While everyone humored him, no one dared to truly provoke him, so with one word, Corgi’s cushy job was gone.

In Marquis Bolton’s office, the fair and handsome marquis slicked his hair back, looking very much like Leonardo in Titanic, putting on a suit.

“What do you think I should do next?” Bolton asked.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “I think it’s better not to get too close too quickly. Isn’t FFF managing things on his behalf? My lord Marquis, you could start by trading, let White Light Person help you level up, and once you’re more familiar with each other, you can talk about other things.”

“Exactly!” An idea formed in Marquis Bolton’s mind: “It’s just money, right?!”

At this point, Marquis Bolton looked at Qing Chen: “By the way, are you good at management?”

“I wouldn’t say I’m good at it, but I’ve had some experience with auditing work before, managing so many slaves requires taking care of logistics as well,” Qing Chen didn’t fabricate his background, as he really had helped Director Kennedy with auditing work before.

Marquis Bolton pondered for a moment: “Turn on the computer and take a look at the accounts in the outpost base to see if you can sort them out.”

Qing Chen looked at the computer for just five minutes before raising his head to say to Marquis Bolton: “Marquis, these accounts don’t add up. Someone’s on record as drawing double the ammunition, but in reality, the stock is three times short.”

Marquis Bolton’s eyes lit up: “You discovered a problem so quickly? I knew my subordinates were fooling me, always saying we’re short of this or that, compelling me to constantly ask my wife to help manage supplies!”

Qing Chen said earnestly, “To be honest, they didn’t even try hard when they fooled you.”

Marquis Bolton said, “Investigate! I’ll put you in charge of getting to the bottom of this.”

“That’s not appropriate,” Qing Chen said, “I don’t have the authority in the outpost base.”

Marquis Bolton chuckled: “I know what you want, don’t worry. As long as you can figure this out, I’ll make you the deputy steward… no, the Chief Butler of the outpost base! Rest assured, I call the shots in this outpost base, except for the nobles; I can get rid of anyone I want!”

There’s an emergency tonight, so there’s only this single chapter today. I expect everything can be resolved by the 27th, and there won’t be any family matters to attend to. From next month, I’ll be back in the hustle.
