No Choice, the Head is Too Effective_1 All participants went to submit their account books, and Bai Ruozhu also saw her parents and others, smiling and waving at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er beamed with pride and spoke with utmost confidence, “Just watch, my Ruozhu is sure to take first place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong chuckled, “Show a little humility, will you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At your age, you’re still so competitive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er gave him a playful glare, “Ruozhu really is brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reconciles accounts quickly and accurately, and it’s not like I haven’t seen it myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onlookers who heard this became very curious, but many felt that Lin Ping’er was just a woman who wouldn’t know how to read account books—how could she know if her daughter’s calculations were accurate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Bai Ruozhu was just skimming through them without needing to calculate carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, the account books had all been collected by Old Master Qu, who then distributed them to several judges for inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure fairness and transparency, the judges reviewed them publicly, each writing down their chosen top ten account numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the final top ten were determined based on the rankings from each judge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the onlookers, this part was quite dull, and many simply left to wander around, planning to return later to see the results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contestants, of course, couldn’t leave at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Family decided not to leave either and just waited for the results there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Fu and the old lady were reluctant to wait, so Bai Yihong simply had someone take them to a nearby tea house for some tea, so they wouldn’t get too tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Li Dan had no mood left for sarcasm or provocation towards Bai Ruozhu, which revealed his inner nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a servant came to collect the abacuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he came to Bai Ruozhu, she smiled at the servant and said, “Young man, I’ll still need the abacus later, may I borrow it for a little longer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant collecting abacuses was not the one who had handed them out; he wasn’t aware of any potential issue and readily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rang felt a sense of urgency and wanted to interject but was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As half an hour passed, the judges had determined the final results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Qu collected the slips from everyone and compared them, then nodded his head, seeing the results were indeed similar to what he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The results of this accounting competition have been determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first place goes to number six, Bai Ruozhu!” Old Master Qu announced loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible!” shouted Li Dan, his face contorted with ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anger this time was not feigned—it was genuine rage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She didn’t even use an abacus, how could her calculations be fast and accurate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t believe it!” Li Dan continued, “I’ve been using the abacus since I was three, and I reckon nobody in the Capital City’s Commerce Association is faster than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she beat me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other contestants also found it unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing what Li Dan said, they too began to doubt the legitimacy of Bai Ruozhu’s first-place victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Master Qu scoffed and said, “The competition was held in public, with no chance of cheating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you all don’t believe it, we can display the account books of Bai Ruozhu and Li Dan for everyone to compare and see for themselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er also shouted from the side, “So you think you’re great because you knew how to use an abacus at three?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My daughter was counting on her fingers inside my belly even before she was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t think you’re the only genius around!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu burst into laughter—her mother was too amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting on her fingers inside the belly before birth, how could her mother know that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there was any finger movement, it would’ve been just a reflex, not really accounting for anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense, she didn’t even touch the abacus—do you mean to say she did the calculations in her head?” Li Dan challenged, still not convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu’s smile hadn’t faded as she raised an eyebrow and said, “You’ve finally guessed something right this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, I did the calculations in my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who decreed that accounting must involve an abacus?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all comes down to personal habits, doesn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er said with a smile, “There’s no helping it, my daughter just has an exceptional mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could that possibly be wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dan, his face turning green with anger, wanted to rush over to look at Bai Ruozhu’s account book, convinced he would find some error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Master Qu said, “Let’s wait until the top ten are announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There will be plenty of time to look later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then read out the second place winner, which was indeed Li Dan, and the third place went to a local senior accountant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The names of the other contestants were also announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they were finished, Li Dan immediately rushed over to check Bai Ruozhu’s account book, and other competitors crowded around, wanting a look as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Dan, aggressive as he was, shoved everyone aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resigned, they went to inspect Li Dan’s account book instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing his work, they all expressed their admiration, with someone even saying, “Li Dan’s accounts are so well kept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t believe anyone could do better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dan, as though he heard none of the praises, feverishly flipped through Bai Ruozhu’s account book, finally grasping it so fiercely that he crumpled the pages within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Dan, what are you doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t damage the competition’s account book!” Xue Rang shouted sternly when he saw this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Dan seemed deaf to the words of others, as if he were about to rip the account book to shreds like waste paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jianqi leapt forward and quickly pressed on Li Dan’s acupoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” Li Dan, immobilized, immediately shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Rang stepped forward and carefully extracted Bai Ruozhu’s account book from Li Dan’s frozen hands, saying indignantly, “I should be asking you that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you trying to get disqualified?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when everyone finally got the chance to see Bai Ruozhu’s account book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon inspection, the same person who admired Li Dan’s work exclaimed, “Indeed, I am but a frog in a well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew accounts could be recorded so clearly and cleanly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Bai Ruozhu’s accounts were just as good as Li Dan’s, she already beats him in speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in fact, her accounting is indeed better than his.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dan went pale as his mind screamed in denial – impossible, impossible, how could there be no mistakes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Qu nodded from the stage, “Bai Ruozhu has not only identified the errors in the accounts and clarified them, but she also made many suggestions – how certain records could be clearer, and how changing some methods could prevent potential pitfalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m truly impressed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all things Bai Ruozhu often did while reviewing accounts and making annotations for her subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yihong and Lin Ping’er cheered for Bai Ruozhu, filled with joy, cheering her on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dan, still unable to move, was finally helped to the side by his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of his guards worked for a long time before finally releasing his acupoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must have known the contents of the account book in advance, she must have!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could she have been so thorough?” Li Dan cried out, unable to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Qu’s face darkened immediately, “The account books were disclosed in advance, and the numbers were drawn by lots; everyone here can bear witness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you still intend to slander the Commerce Association of Wuyuan City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu shrank her shoulders and said in a nonchalant tone, “That’s why I said transparency is necessary, to prevent misattributions and avoid tarnishing the reputation of the Commerce Association of Wuyuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dan, you’re a grown man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should be able to handle both victory and defeat gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You were the one who insisted I enter the competition, and you were the one who suggested the bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the outcome is clear, I hope you remember to keep your promise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In consideration of posting five updates today, could everyone give some monthly
