Chapter 4834: Seems to be a problem

Watching Sister Lan's serious expression, she looked very beautiful. Although she was a woman in her forties, because she took good care of herself and knew how to dress, she had an innate noble temperament that made her look only in her thirties, like a fully ripened young woman. Especially that face—it was exceptionally exquisite and one could never tire of looking at it, with a sense of freedom rarely seen in women between her brows.

Just as Zhao Desan was still carefully admiring Ma Lan's beauty, Ma Lan suddenly looked up, and Zhao Desan quickly withdrew his gaze.

"I've looked, and apart from the fact that this enterprise's scrap rate is quite high, there doesn't seem to be anything else unusual," Ma Lan said, knitting her delicate brows.

"Scrap rate?" Zhao Desan looked at her, not knowing what to make of it. He was completely clueless about corporate matters.

"It's the fixed asset retirement rate, the proportion of fixed assets scrapped and cleared by the enterprise during the calculation period relative to the original fixed assets." Ma Lan roughly explained to Zhao Desan what a scrap rate was.

Zhao Desan's brain was quite sharp, and he understood a little bit. He smiled awkwardly and said, "This is the first time I've heard this term. It seems I still have a lot to learn."

"It's all written in books. To put it simply, it means things are old, broken, or stolen—anyway, they can't be used or have disappeared, and new ones must be bought. The percentage of this is the scrap rate," Ma Lan gave Zhao Desan a more vivid analogy.

"Oh, so that's what it means. Then what is the normal scrap rate?" Zhao Desan asked with great interest.

"There's no specific regulation for this; every enterprise is different. Some industries have high scrap rates, others have low ones, but this scrap rate is definitely on the high side," Ma Lan said with certainty.

Hearing these words from Sister Lan, Zhao Desan couldn't help but think to himself that since there was a problem with the scrap rate, he would start there, go back, and study the materials on this subject carefully to try and find the problem.

"How are your personal affairs?" Seeing Zhao Desan fall into deep thought, Ma Lan smiled and changed the subject to ask him.

"Nothing much," Zhao Desan came back to his senses and answered with a smile.

"You're already thirty, you're long past the age you should be married. Do you intend to stay alone forever?" Ma Lan seemed very concerned about Zhao Desan's personal life.

Zhao Desan joked, "I want to marry you, Sister Lan. Would you be willing?"

Looking at Zhao Desan's grinning face, Ma Lan paused for a moment, rolled her eyes at him, and laughed, "What kind of joke is that! You want to marry me!" ===== CHAPTER 4835 =====
