To the side, there were two large tables and two armchairs. The contestants who had come to participate were divided into two teams. Two people who looked like advisors were registering at the tables. In the middle of the table, there was a large sign — Xiao Family Servant Recruitment and Registration Office.
Lin Wanrong looked back and forth. The people in front of him were dressed like Lin Wanrong. Half of them were genuine servants, and half were scholars with ulterior motives. There were probably more than a thousand people. Everyone fought to be the first to sign up, afraid that someone else would steal their chance.
There were so many people fighting over a small servant's position. It looked like the difficulty of finding a job was a common problem in every era.
Thinking that so many people would be his competitors, Lin Wanrong felt a headache coming on. This damned Old Man Wei, he was completely trying to kill him.
Lin Wanrong cursed Old Man Wei eighteen times in his heart. He walked back and forth in the crowd a few times. He knew that today and tomorrow were just a simple registration procedure. Since Uncle Wei had already signed up for him, Lin Wanrong didn't have to wait in line. He started to patrol around.
Most of the servants were frowning. They were obviously worried about whether or not they would be hired. Their mentality was similar to that of the applicants in Lin Wanrong's era.
Those self-proclaimed romantic scholars were obviously disdainful of associating with those inferior commoners. They formed groups of three to five and chatted here and there. What they had in common was that they all waved a fan in their hands. When they were reciting poems, they would unconsciously wave a few times.
It was already late autumn. These people were fanning themselves. Could it be that they were trying to ward off the cold? Lin Wanrong laughed in his heart.
When the scholars gathered together, it was inevitable that they would exchange a few words. When the guy next to Lin Wanrong saw the other three, he waved his fan and laughed heartily. "Hey, Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, Brother Li, you guys are here too."
The four guys cupped their hands and greeted each other.
"It's not our turn to sign up yet. Instead of sitting here in boredom, why don't we recite a Dragon Receiving Poem?" The first guy spoke again, and the other three brothers applauded. In this era, reciting poems in public was a fashion. Just like in Lin Wanrong's world, it was fashionable for men and women to kiss and fondle in public.
The person who made the suggestion first was elected as the leader and took on the heavy responsibility of making a good start.
That fellow pondered for a long time. When he saw the few leaves on the ground, his eyes lit up. In his joy, he shook his head and recited, "One, two, three, four …"
"Five pieces, six pieces, seven pieces — — -" brother Wang muttered.
"Nine, ten, eleven — —" Brother Zhao continued.
The leaves had all been counted. Brother Li, who was at the end, rolled his eyes and recited loudly, "Fall into the bushes and disappear."
"Good poem, good poem." The four of them cheered together.
Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly at the side. I'm already shameless enough, but compared to these three brats, my skin is still not thick enough. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front. Someone shouted, "Lady Xiao is out, Lady Xiao is out." Lin Wanrong was delighted. I've been waiting for you.
The crowd in front was already in a mess, and everyone rushed forward, trying to outdo each other. Those arrogant and romantic guys didn't care about their status anymore. They crowded together with the commoners that they looked down on. It was as if the earlier they went, the better they would be able to win the favor of their mother-in-law.
The shameless fourth brother, who was reciting poems beside Lin Wanrong, had already rushed forward. Lin Wanrong hesitated. F * ck, the one who strikes first has the advantage, and the one who strikes last will suffer a calamity. At this time, where was the demeanor of a gentleman?
Lin Wanrong pushed the four people away and said loudly, "Excuse me, excuse me."
Old Man Wei gave Lin Wanrong enema. Oh, no, it was empowerment. After the empowerment, Lin Wanrong's strength was more than ten times stronger than before. He easily pushed the four people away.
The four brats looked at Lin Wanrong's tattered clothes, but they couldn't push Lin Wanrong. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. "This is purely a matter of quality. I don't want to scold you."
Among the crowd stood a beautiful middle-aged woman. She was dressed in a palace gown. She had light eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, delicate skin, and a sparkling face. She didn't look like a mother, but more like a young woman in her thirties. Her expression was dignified and calm as she greeted the court officials and future servants. She had an air of elegance and nobility about her.
From the way others called her, Lin Wanrong knew that this was the head of the Xiao Family, Lady Xiao. This Lady Xiao married into the Xiao Family at the age of 16. They had two daughters. She was dignified and virtuous. She had always been a good wife to Master Xiao.
Unfortunately, Master Xiao passed away at a young age, leaving the two of them to depend on each other. Fortunately, the Grand Mistress of the Xiao Family was very business-minded. In recent years, she had devoted herself to management. Although it couldn't be said to be the heyday, she at least maintained the prosperity of the Xiao Family. This girl was really admirable.
Lin Wanrong suddenly thought of a very serious problem. The Xiao Family had an orphan daughter and a widowed mother. If they recruited an ingrate and he still didn't give up after getting the Grand Mistress, it was inevitable that he would be tempted by the Second Miss. It was said that the sister-in-law was the brother-in-law's little cotton-padded jacket. This guy ate the big one and took the small one. Maybe he would have ideas about the old mother-in-law. Damn, such a sexy and exciting thing, which man didn't dream of it?
Lin Wanrong's heart jumped. This was definitely a great stimulation for Lin Wanrong. When he was a sales manager in his original world, in order to complete the sales task, he naturally wasn't a good person. He used all kinds of tricks. He spent a lot of money to buy a place and found two foreign girls to have a threesome. Although most of the time he was forced, these things couldn't be avoided in the outside world.
Lin Wanrong didn't expect to encounter such a situation in this world. If a gifted scholar only chose one of the two young ladies, Lin Wanrong would still be able to accept it. However, she still felt a wave of discomfort in her heart when she heard that he had to choose both of them. He thought that his experience was bad enough, so he had a kind of jealousy for other people's happiness.
I will never allow a man who is happier than me to appear in this world. I am so shameless. What can you do to me? Lin Wanrong thought arrogantly. In this world, there was no one he was afraid of.
The more he thought about it, the more he laughed. What the f * ck was going on? Other people marry sisters and play mother and daughter, what does it have to do with me? I really need to think about how to survive in this world.
Speaking of survival, Lin Wanrong had some ideas in his mind. This Xiao Family was a big family in Jin Ling city. Although its current situation was not as good as before, it was still a big tree. In the current situation where he had no power, no power, no money, and no people, this Xiao Family was a big tree. Although he couldn't get any benefits, he could still enjoy the shade of a big tree. Lin Wanrong still understood the principle of relying on a big tree. From this point of view, it was not unreasonable for Old Man Wei to let him go to the Xiao Family.
Lin Wanrong originally held an indifferent attitude towards this bullshit servant competition. But with this kind of thinking in his heart, he slowly began to pay attention to it. He used to be a sales manager. He accompanied customers to eat, drink, and gamble. On the surface, he seemed to be well-off. But in fact, only he knew the emptiness and loneliness in his heart. If it wasn't to support his parents and pay for his sister's education, he would have quit long ago.
Now, by a freak combination of factors, he came to this strange world. No one knew him, and he was alone. He didn't need to set any goals. It seemed like it was not bad to be a carefree servant.
Lady Xiao slowly walked up to a large platform and said in a dignified manner, "Thank you for your attention to our Xiao Family. Please believe that we will definitely carry out the recruitment of servants in accordance with the principle of openness, fairness, and justice. Please line up in order, don't push, everyone has a chance. "
Her voice was soft and pleasant to listen to. Although it wasn't loud, everyone listened carefully and could hear it clearly.
