"A contract employee is not a joke. Ahem, ahem." Lin Wanrong knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly pretended to cough twice to cover it up. "A contract employee, as the name suggests, is an employment contract signed between me and the Xiao Family for a year. During this period, I will serve the Xiao Family for eight hours a day. Oh, that's eight hours. I am still a free man and do not belong to the Xiao Family. Of course, I am still a servant of the Xiao Family, and the fruits of my labor belong to the Xiao Family. The advantage of this is that if the Xiao Family is not satisfied with me, they can fire me at any time. "
"Oh, oh." Seeing that the three old men were staring at him, they meant that even if he signed a lifetime contract, if the Xiao Family was not satisfied with him, they could still fire him at any time. Lin Wanrong hurriedly continued, "And under this kind of motivation, I will be even more enterprising, even more hardworking, and contribute to the construction of the Xiao Clan, and contribute my meager strength to the construction of an even more powerful Great Hua Dynasty. After a year, as long as both parties are satisfied, we can renew the contract, and we can negotiate amicably about the salary. "
The latter part of his words was a bit interesting. Not seeking comfort, not satisfied with the status quo, and brave to forge ahead. Nowadays, there are not many young people like Lin San who are brave enough to spur themselves. The three old men praised him.
Uncle Fu said, "Lin San, it's not that we don't want to agree with you. In fact, your proposal is very constructive. Abolishing the lifetime contract for leading cadres is also a topic that we have been studying. With you taking the lead, we will bring up this topic for discussion at the next meeting of the servants. Once it is passed, we will report to Young Madam and Grand Mistress, and then we will officially implement it. However, you also know that such a reform will encounter a lot of resistance, so we can only do it step by step. This time, we can only report your proposal to Young Madam and Young Madam, but we don't know whether it will be successful or not. However, you have to think it through. If the higher-ups don't agree, you might be eliminated. Have you thought it through? "
This Uncle Fu said one thing after another, such as abolishing the lifetime tenure system for leading cadres, the Household Assembly, and the resistance to reform. Lin Wanrong felt dizzy, and when he finally heard the last sentence, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course I've thought it through. Uncle Fu, hurry up and report it to the higher-ups."
Killing was just a matter of nodding one's head to the ground, repaying Old Fart Wei's kindness was fine, but changing her name and enduring the humiliation, Lin Wanrong was not willing to do it. At most, she would return her life to Old Fart Wei.
Uncle Fu and the other two discussed for a while, then entrusted Uncle Fu to represent them and ask for instructions from the higher-ups.
Uncle Fu walked out of the door and saw a woman standing outside, covering her mouth and laughing secretly.
This woman was not very old, but her appearance was extremely beautiful. Given time, she would definitely become a great beauty.
"Second Miss, so you're here." Uncle Fu was delighted and hurriedly rushed over. Seeing the woman laughing secretly, he also found it a little funny and said, "Did you also hear this kid's wicked idea just now?"
Miss Xiao snorted and said, "It's quite excessive. I already knew that this kid is not a good thing."
Uncle Fu saw that she was holding a piece of paper in her hand, and a few words on it were crooked and faintly unruly. He asked curiously, "Second Miss, what are you holding?"
Miss Xiao pursed her small mouth, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Finally, she still couldn't suppress her laughter and said, "Uncle Fu, look, this is the Three Character Classic that Lin San wrote from memory, hehe —"
It turned out that she was holding Lin Wanrong's answer sheet for the first stage. Uncle Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw these words.
He couldn't read, but he could only read half a word. Just based on the suggestion of the contract employee, this kid didn't look like someone who hadn't studied before. How could his words be so unbearable?
Miss Xiao took out a small booklet from her bosom and pointed at the woman in the booklet to Uncle Fu, saying, "Uncle Fu, look."
Uncle Fu's eyes lit up as he looked at the album. "This is the Grand Mistress. Which great master did this? "
Miss Xiao shook her head and said, "I also don't know who drew this. I bought it from Lin San, and many people bought this booklet from him. Hmph, that kid actually used Sister's portrait to earn money. He's really bad."
Uncle Fu didn't doubt that Lin Wanrong was good at doing business. Just based on that kid's face, it would be a pity if he didn't do business.
Uncle Fu said, "Then Second Miss, did you ask him who this painting came from? Although I don't know how to draw, this painting is completely different from the ones we've seen before. It's simple and smooth, and the expression is vivid. Although it's simple, it's even more extraordinary. I don't know where this master is from. "
"I also asked him," Xiao Er Xiaojie said, "But that fellow refused to tell me. Hmph, he can't even write a few words. It's definitely not this bad guy. Moreover, Sister rarely shows her face a few times a year. Almost no one has seen what Sister looks like, but this master can draw it so vividly. This master must be someone with extraordinary brush skills. "
Uncle Fu nodded and said, "Then how should we deal with this Lin San?"
From what Second Miss said, she seemed to have a lot of resentment towards this Lin San. It seemed that this Lin San and the Xiao Family weren't fated to be together.
Miss Xiao bit her lips and revealed a trace of a smile on her face. She said, "This guy has a lot of wicked ideas. Moreover, he has done so many bad things. Hmph, how can I let him off so easily."
Uncle Fu didn't understand what Second Miss meant. He said, "Then, Second Miss, this Lin San, should we sign it or not?"
Miss Xiao smiled and said, "Sign it, of course we have to sign it. Uncle Fu, just do what he wants and give him a contract. Hmph, as long as he enters the door of my Xiao Family, I will — — "
A devilish smile appeared on her face. "— — Close the door — — Release the dog — —"
Uncle Fu ran away as fast as he could. His whole body was covered in sweat. He knew the power of this Second Miss' "— — Close the door — — Release the dog — —" too well.
The "Master" mentioned by Second Miss Xiao was chatting with the remaining two old men in the room at the moment. Anyway, bragging was not taxed, and the three of them were all experts in this field. Bragging was flying everywhere, and their saliva almost flooded the room.
From these two old men, Lin Wanrong had a general understanding of the situation of the Xiao Family.
The old master of the Xiao Family, who was also Lady Xiao's father-in-law, was one of the six ministers. He was once the minister of the Ministry of Rites and had many disciples. After he retired, he returned to Jin Ling city to retire. When he passed away, the emperor of the current dynasty of China wrote an elegiac couplet to express his condolences.
However, after the death of the old master, the Young Master of the Xiao Family also fell ill. After struggling for two years, he passed away. The Xiao Family lost their backer, and their situation was not as good as before. Fortunately, the disciples of the old master took good care of the Xiao Family, plus the hard work of Lady Xiao, Lady Xiao was talented and intelligent. The mother and daughter worked hard to maintain the huge business of the Xiao Family until today.
However, the old master of the Xiao Family had passed away for many years, and his influence gradually weakened. In addition, there were more and more competitors, and they were getting stronger and stronger. In the past two years, the business of the Xiao Family had become more and more difficult. In order to maintain the business of the Xiao Family, Lady Xiao traveled all over the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces all year round. She was rarely at home, so in Jin Ling city, very few people had seen her.
Lin Wanrong also obtained an important piece of information from these two old men. It was about this year's recruitment of servants. Even though the scale of the recruitment was quite large, and the number of applicants was similar to the previous years, the number of new servants recruited by the Xiao Family this year was extremely limited, and it was absolutely confidential to the public.
This point, Lin Wanrong could understand. When he was doing business, he always liked to brag about the company's turnover. As for the actual content, only a few people knew.
"Then what about these scholars?" Lin Wanrong thought of a question that had always been on his mind, and directly asked the two old men.
