I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1004 - 923: Understanding Matters, Understanding People

Don't say, you really shouldn't say.

After hearing Melanie's "50% increase secret," the two female officials brought by Queen Veronica to help with the accounts couldn't help but exchange glances, both showing expressions that were hard to maintain.

Although it sounded quite unethical, based on what's recorded in the child's ledger, if she did it like that, it could indeed increase profits by another 50%, maybe even more, so in some sense, Leon's sister is truly a business genius.

"Alright, you passed."

Imagining the two little rascals getting up in the middle of the night, sleepy-eyed, carrying buckets to sneakily pour water on the school door hinges, Veronica couldn't help but chuckle. As she reached out to stroke Melanie's little head, she promised with a smile:

"Whatever your sister-in-law promised, she'll do. The next investment will be doubled!"

"Sister-in-law is the best!"

Excitedly rushing over, hugging and rubbing against Veronica's leg, Melanie looked up with hope-filled eyes and said:

"Besides the investment, can you also double the other rewards?"

Upon hearing this, Veronica was slightly stunned.

"Other rewards?"

"Like the reward for promptly reporting to you whenever other pretty sisters appear around my brother."

Without hesitation, Melanie sold out her own big brother, blinking her big eyes and said:

"Although my brother isn't that kind of person, he is steady, has a good personality, looks handsome, and particularly cares for the family... In short, with all my brother's virtues, surely many pretty sisters will be eyeing him, so sister-in-law, you must guard closely!

Of course, as the most beloved under-ten sister of my brother, I definitely stand unconditionally with him, but who can blame me for meeting the best sister-in-law? So..."

"Need more money?"

"Yes!"

After nodding her little head vigorously, Melanie counted on her fingers and said with a serious expression:

"Besides helping to watch over my brother, I have to focus on studying, running our money-making company, and also hunting down other money-making opportunities, which are all quite strenuous. A generous and thoughtful woman like sister-in-law surely wouldn't bear seeing me work so hard, right?"

"Right, right~"

Glancing at Leon, who silently appeared behind Melanie, with his face slightly dark, Veronica couldn't help but smile. She then leaned down, lightly pinched Melanie's little cheek, and said teasingly:

"You little money-grubber... Aren't you afraid your brother will be angry because you sold him out?"

"Brother is so good, he definitely won't blame me."

Upon hearing Veronica's teasing, Melanie felt like she had a chance and replied cheerfully:

"Moreover, my money is also my brother's money, so if I earn a bit more, my brother's life will be much easier~"

"Hmm? Does your brother need money?"

"He does!"

When Veronica said this, Melanie's face fell slightly, and she answered helplessly:

"Sister-in-law, my brother is actually quite stubborn in some aspects, and he has a bit of that 'male dominance,' preferring to go to work honestly rather than spend your money.

In short, although we don't lack necessities, our monthly savings aren't much. I guess my brother cares about his face and is afraid spending your money will make people gossip about him living off you, so..."

"So?"

"So I'll eat this soft rice for him!"

Patting her little chest, Melanie firmly hugged her wealthy sister-in-law's leg, raising her face with justified pride:

"As the most adorable sister of my best brother, how can I watch my best brother live poorly? I'll eat the soft rice my brother doesn't dare to, and I'll throw away the face my brother dreads losing!

So, sister-in-law, shower me with love! I'll take it all! As long as I have a piece of meat to eat, Anna and Leon will have a piece, and William will have a bowl to scrub! Sister-in-law, you... huh?"

Feeling a slight chill on the back of her neck and her bunny slipper-clad feet suddenly leaving the ground, Melanie shivered all over and quickly turned around in terror.

"Anna? You're not... Brother?!"

Seeing Leon behind her, who had picked her up, Melanie's eyes first lit up with joy, but remembering what she had just said, she quickly shrank her neck, blinking and speaking softly:

"Brother, you're back... when... when did you come back?"

"Since you and William poured water on the school gate!"

Oh no!

Seeing Leon's narrowed eyes, Melanie couldn't help but panic. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Though her brother wouldn't bear spanking her, he certainly wouldn't hesitate to complain to Anna, and it looked like today's spanking couldn't be avoided!

"Don't be mad; I was just fooling around with Melanie~"

Gently lifting Melanie from Leon's hand by supporting her armpit, Veronica restored Melanie onto her lap, who was switching her eyes restlessly, and then exclaimed with amazement:

"I don't know how you taught them, these two little ones are each uniquely gifted, one knows 'things,' and the other knows 'people,' they're real prodigies. Even without the platform we provide, they'd likely grow into remarkable people."

"Know things? Know people?"

"Put simply, they both have extraordinary insight, merely focused differently. Both possess rather mature logic."

Pinching Melanie's cheek affectionately, Veronica explained:

"William may appear lacking in social skills, but he's gifted at seeing connections and pinpointing the key solutions amongst overwhelming information.

Melanie, on the other hand, may lack William's 'thing' insight, but she excels at understanding 'people.' This child seems naturally attuned to others' desires, guessing their choices when faced with dilemmas... Hmm... Like keeping an eye on you for me~"

After openly admitting to the bribery of "little spies," Veronica smiled and said:

"Initially, I wasn't sure, but now I am certain she's 'onto me,' understanding from the start that I wasn't truly vested in keeping tabs on you; rather, I sought reasons to bond with her and get closer to you and your family; thus, she was purposefully aligning with me.

As for the recent antics, instead of truly craving money, she was pulling strings to assist you in bonding me, so while I was indulging her, she was indeed indulging me... Hmm... But she does indeed love money nonetheless."
