Lady Xiao's smile was like a flower. She warmly visited every new servant and inquired about their well-being. Lady Xiao really had experience in the business world. Although it was just for show, it had already produced a good effect. A few emotional servants were already in tears. They treated the Xiao Family's madam as their second parent.
Lin Wanrong was already hungry. He didn't wait for Lady Xiao to arrive. He grabbed a few mouthfuls of food and put it into his mouth. When Lady Xiao came in front of him, he swallowed a mouthful of hot food and was chewing it.
"Madam, this is Lin San." Housekeeper Wang introduced him to Lady Xiao.
Lady Xiao looked at Lin San. He was good-looking, easy-going, and very amiable. She smiled at Lin Wanrong and said, "You are the contract employee, Lin San?"
Lin Wanrong stood up and said, "Yes, Madam. I am Lin San." He naturally reached out his hand to shake hands with Lady Xiao. In his world, shaking hands with people was the most basic etiquette.
Lady Xiao's expression changed. She said coldly, "What are you doing?"
Men and women should not touch hands. This was an ancient rule. Lady Xiao was a virtuous widow. She was very self-respecting and was very strict with etiquette. People said that there was a lot of gossip in front of a widow's door. However, Lady Xiao had been a widow for many years, but there had never been any rumors. It could be seen that her chastity was strong. Therefore, when she saw Lin Wanrong reach out his hand, she couldn't help but be angry.
Lin Wanrong also realized that he had made a very serious empirical mistake. Fortunately, he was quick-witted. He had a plan in a moment. He simply didn't stop and said generously, "Shake hands with Madam."
"Shake hands?" Lady Xiao frowned. She didn't expect this guy to say it so bluntly.
"Yes, in my hometown, when two people meet for the first time, shaking hands is the most basic etiquette." Lin Wanrong spoke in a simple and natural manner with a harmless smile on his face. Coupled with his good-looking appearance, he was easy to trust.
"How dare you!" Butler Wang and Assistant Butler Pang roared in anger. Who was this brat? How dare he take advantage of Lady Xiao?
"It's fine." Lady Xiao stopped the two housekeepers with a smile. Before Lady Xiao took over the Xiao Family, it was Lady Xiao who took care of the Xiao Family's business. She was able to manage the Xiao Family in good order. Naturally, she was not a simple person. To be exact, she was a strong woman. In order to protect herself, she was familiar with all kinds of men and all kinds of gazes. She was very confident of her own vision. This servant's eyes were very natural and did not reveal a trace of profanity. It seemed that she really misunderstood.
Lin Wanrong originally just wanted to shake hands with her, so his eyes were naturally normal. As for profanity, even if he had the intention, he would not reveal it.
Lin Wanrong was also looking at Lady Xiao. Different from looking at her from afar, at this time, Lady Xiao was still an extremely outstanding woman. Her face was as white as jade, her eyes were beautiful, and there was no wrinkle at the corner of her eyes. However, from time to time, she frowned, which seemed to show that she had some hidden worries.
This was a real strong woman. Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart. Compared with all kinds of strong women he had seen when he was a marketing manager, she was not inferior, and even more beautiful.
"Where is your hometown?" Lady Xiao was also a little interested in this contract employee. After all, she had never heard of contract employees before. However, this idea was very novel and had a certain degree of innovation. She was also a little curious about this servant who could come up with this idea.
"My hometown? It's very far, very far. Even if I tell you, Madam may not know. " A trace of loneliness flashed in Lin Wanrong's eyes. He was now a rootless duckweed, drifting wherever he went.
Seeing that he was not willing to say, Lady Xiao did not force him. Because he had signed a one-year contract with the Xiao Family, although he was a servant, he could fire the Xiao Family at any time.
I am actually worried that a servant will abandon the Xiao Family? Lady Xiao couldn't help but feel funny for her unnecessary worry, but as long as he was a talent, the Xiao Family would keep him. This was the conclusion of Lady Xiao's struggle in the business world for many years.
Lady Xiao smiled at Lin Wanrong in a friendly manner and turned away. Naturally, she would not shake hands with Lin Wanrong. No matter what broken rules there were in your hometown, when you are here, you have to do as the Romans do. If the news of her shaking hands with you spread out, the reputation of Widow Joan of Arc would be completely ruined, not to mention that she was a lowly servant.
Lady Xiao stepped on the stage and gave a passionate speech to the new servants. It was nothing more than welcoming everyone's arrival, hoping that everyone would be loyal to their duties, love their posts, and contribute to the Xiao Family.
In the end, Lin Wanrong saw a vaguely familiar scene – the speech of the new servants. Seeing this section, Lin Wanrong really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had participated in countless school opening ceremonies and opening ceremonies, and every time there was such a melodramatic scene. He didn't expect that it was no exception in this world.
The guy who spoke on behalf of the new servants made Lin Wanrong spurt blood. That guy was the bookworm Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng walked to the stage nervously and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. His hands were trembling nervously, and he stammered, "Work hard, make progress every day, love China, love the Xiao Family."
Lin Wanrong spurted out all the rice in his mouth, which attracted the angry stares of countless devout servants around him.
Back to his own small courtyard in the garden, he tidied up his luggage, but he didn't see Uncle Fu. At this time, he should be taking a nap. Old men were like this when they were old.
Just as he was about to lie down on the bed, he suddenly heard a burst of voices coming from the courtyard.
"Oh, this peony is so beautiful. It suits me very well."
"I think that green foxtail grass is more suitable for you."
"I've asked around. The new servant assigned today is assigned to Uncle Fu."
"Yes, yes, I'm here to see him. I heard that he is tall, has big eyes, healthy skin, and is full of masculinity — "
"Tsk, look at your faces. Let me tell you, I heard that this new servant is very arrogant. He doesn't even give face to Housekeeper Wang —"
"He doesn't give face to Housekeeper Wang, but I'm his housekeeper, so he has to give face to me."
"Tsk —"
"Don't say anymore. Let's pick flowers first, then pick handsome men, yay —"
Lin Wanrong covered his mouth tightly. Damn it, did he enter the Silk Coiling Cave? How did he meet this group of female demons?
He walked out of the door and saw about ten maidservants in the courtyard. They were young and beautiful. Although they couldn't be said to be beautiful, they won in youth. They were busy plucking flowers from the flowering shrubs.
