Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1555
“The old ledgers have been copied to new books so it’s easier for reference.”
Tania explained and pointed to the computer on the desk while saying to Serenity, “There are too many ledgers to look through,
so there’s also a copy on the computer. It’s much easier and faster to look it up on the computer.”
Serenity looked at the large bookshelves, trying to suppress her shock, and asked her mother–in–law,” Mom, are these all our
family’s properties?”
“Yep.”
Serenity took a pause before she said, “Nana just mentioned the rental of some shops and houses, some chain stores, and
small industries that needed my management.”
At the sight of so many books, Serenity felt that she would not be able to get to the bottom of the York family’s industries in just a
few days of holidays.
God, there were so many books!
She did not study accounting, so she was just a novice.
“Your nana is right. It’s just some small enterprises. You just need to know where it is and who’s in charge of that business.
Someone will make a report on whether it turns a profit or a loss every month, but your still have to know the details lest you be
deceived.
“A little greed is harmless. You cannot expect everyone to be squeaky clean. As long as they don’t overdo it, we’ll just turn a
blind eye. In general, they won’t dare mess around. Their careers will be over if they’re punished.”
The York family was a huge name. The people managing the York family businesses did not dare mess around for fear of ruining
their careers. Moreover, the York family had always treated its management with kindness. They would not be mistreated as long
as they did their jobs well.
Tania was worried that Serenity would be too uptight and serious, so she made a few remarks.
Serenity nodded. “I’ll ask you for advice if I don’t understand anything.

“Do I have to finish reading all these ledgers?”
“Take a look at the first three pages of each ledger for the time being. The first page lists the location of each business, which
you have to memorize. The second and third pages are mostly the personnel. Their details and photos are included so you can
easily identify them.”
Serenity was speechless in her heart but did not let it show on her face.
The Yorks had a fortune worth hundreds of billions and had many businesses.
As the future lady of the Yorks, she could not be intimidated by the number of properties her in–laws had.
Tania was also paying attention to Serenity’s reaction.
She was quite satisfied to see that there was only shock in Serenity’s eyes but not on her face.
At least she would not look ignorant.
Mrs. Stone must have trained her a lot.
Mrs. Stone used to be a successful career woman. Tania did not question the woman’s ability in personally training Serenity.
Tania handed Grandma. May’s key to Serenity and said, “You don’t have to worry. Take your time. I took. several years myself to
fully grasp the hang of it.”
She was from a wealthy family, but it took her several years to get fully up to speed. Serenity would most likely take longer.
Serenity suddenly relaxed.
The pressure she felt lifted significantly.
She was terrified that she was expected to get the hang of it in a few days.
Fortunately, she had a few years.
Tania hoped that Serenity would first bear a child for the York family, but she promised Zachary that she would never pressure
Serenity into having one. She simply buried the idea in her heart and never voiced it.

Serenity must be feeling pressure when there were yet to have signs after so long. Just one word from her mother–in–law would
be enough to add pressure on her.
Therefore, Tania held back her true thoughts.
She simply said, “You haven’t had your wedding with Zack yet. After the wedding, you two still have to go on your honeymoon,
but once that’s over, you’ll have to learn how to manage the household. You can still live the life you want during this period. I
won’t bother you.”
Serenity laughed. “Now that I know all this, I wouldn’t dare to enjoy my life frivolously.”
It was not easy being the lady of the house!
