Chapter 32: Charging Through Three Passes (1)

  ***********************************************************

  Brothers, I need your recommendation votes, waaah!

  ***********************************************************

  Lin Wanrong's forehead was slightly sweating, he was a high-achieving student at Peking University, only studying science, a true science prodigy, letting him solve a few complex calculus problems was effortless, letting him read books and recognize characters or even recite a few ancient poems was no problem, but asking him to write the Three Character Classic from memory was really difficult for him.

  It seems that in this world, apart from reciting a few poems, he basically belongs to the "illiterate" series. Lin Wanrong is deeply grateful to his father, who was an elementary school language teacher, for forcing him to memorize some Tang and Song poetry when he was young. If it weren't for that, he would probably have become illiterate in this world by now.

  It's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world is changing too fast. Lin Wanrong sighed inwardly and picked up his brush pen, which he had last used when he was ten years old in supplementary classes, and could only recall the first twelve characters of the Three Character Classic that everyone knew by heart.

  Lin Wanrong secretly dug up Old Wei's ancestral grave more than a dozen times, now there is no way out, and he has to force himself to go.

  Fortunately, he had a very thick skin and was never intimidated by anything. He picked up his brush and wrote twelve characters on the rice paper: "Man's nature is originally good, natures are similar, habits make them distant." Then with a light flick of his right hand, the brush fell into the inkstone.

  With a passionate heart, these few words have rough strokes, twisted and turned, individually they can barely be made out as a character. But when several characters are put together, although not necessarily elegant, there is a hint of unbridled flavor.

  "I don't remember anything else." Lin Wanrong said calmly, looking at the person with a straight face.

  Today, there were nearly a hundred people who came for an interview, and I haven't seen anyone with such a "heroic" temperament like Lin Wanrong.

  That Ding looked at him with a scowl and said loudly, "When writing, you should hold the brush lightly and put it down gently. Has no one ever taught you? This is a high-quality Huizhou inkstone, if you damage it, you won't be able to afford to compensate for it."

  What's the point of mentioning Huī Mò Duān Yàn, Lin Wanrong didn't care at all. Seeing that Dīng Hú was pretending to be mighty and had a bad tone, Lin Wanrong hummed and said: "Just now, Vice Manager Páng only asked me to come in for an interview, but didn't mention anything about Huī Mò Duān Yàn. It's actually from you, brother, that I'm learning something new."

  As soon as Ding Yi heard that he was Vice Manager Pang's housekeeper, his expression changed immediately, and he squeezed out a smile: "Brother, were you introduced by Vice Manager Pang?"

  Laozi was introduced by Yinzi, Lin Wanrong thought with a sly smile, since the surname Pang has accepted my money, I must squeeze out all his remaining value.

  "Hmm, I have some connections with Vice Steward Pang. However, when I came in, he specifically instructed you to uphold the principles of openness, fairness, and justice, and not to make any special exceptions." Lin Wanrong took advantage of the situation and directly sold out Vice Steward Pang's face, anyway that guy didn't dare say anything.

  "That's natural, that's natural." The examiner, Ding Mei, smiled and handed the nameplate back to Lin Wanrong: "Lin Gongzi, congratulations, you have passed the first test." Then she pointed at the two foolish-looking guys beside him: "You two, are eliminated."

  He only wrote twelve words, and yet he passed? Lin Wanrong was speechless with laughter and tears, knowing that this guy had sold out Vice Director Pang's face, so he didn't thank him either, taking the brand name into the second room.

  The two eliminated guys cried out: "Not fair, not fair, why can he pass and we can't?"

  Zhaokao Jiatin sneered: "What kind of person are they, and what kind of people are you? Don't you weigh it carefully? Can you even write these few words?"

  He threw the white paper that Lin Wanrong had written on in front of those two guys. Although there were only twelve words on the paper, and they were crooked and twisted, compared to these impoverished family-born house slaves, it was already outstanding. These two eliminated ones, together, didn't even write eight words.

  Lin Wanrong didn't care whether they opposed it or not. The winner is the king, and the loser is a bandit. Passing the test is the only solid truth. After walking a few steps, he arrived at the second room, where several colleagues were also holding a paper in deep thought, their furrowed brows seemed to be squeezing out water.

  An examiner took Lin Wanrong's nameplate and handed him a wooden box with an open lid, expressionlessly saying: "Draw one out from inside."

  "What's this question?" Lin Wanrong didn't ramble on like other candidates, instead she clarified the situation first.

  "Just let you smoke and you will smoke, why so many useless words?" This family's servant seems to have had a poor quality sex life last night, with a lot of anger.

  "Q&A session, you have to answer correctly to pass the next level." A frustrated candidate with hair almost pulled out beside him subconsciously said in response to Lin Wanrong's question.

  So it was, Lin Wanrong understood, this was a rapid Q&A question, testing the intelligence of the family servants.

  He took out a folded piece of paper from the wooden box, unfolded it, and saw that there were only two sentences written on it: "One person crosses a single-plank bridge, with wolves in front and tigers behind. This person quickly passed by. Please ask, how did he pass?"

  Fainted, does everyone in this world like to play brain teasers? Lin Wanrong laughed secretly in his heart, but pretended to be puzzled and thought for a while before answering: "Could it be... passed out?"

  "Correct!" The examiner Ding looked at him and said, "This kid must have seen this question somewhere before, otherwise he wouldn't be able to answer so quickly. What a stroke of luck."

  "Oppose, oppose!" Just as the examiner was about to announce Lin Wanrong's promotion to the next level, another candidate suddenly shouted loudly. There were three candidates in this room, apart from Lin Wanrong, one was the person who answered Lin Wanrong's question earlier, and the other was this brother who shouted "oppose".

  "What are you opposed to?" The examiner, Jia Ding, angrily asked: "Is there something here that you oppose?"

  That Ding saw that he couldn't answer the question and was about to be eliminated, wanting to make a last-ditch effort, hastily said: "What I oppose is, why give him such an easy question, while giving me such a difficult one? As long as he can answer my question, even if I'm eliminated, I'll be convinced."

  The examiner shouted: "These questions were randomly drawn by you yourselves. Are you implying that this examiner is cheating?"

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "But I don't know what problem this brother has in his hand, let me guess."

  That guy picked up the paper in his hand and read aloud: "When 50% ripe beef meets 60% ripe beef, why don't they greet each other?"

  "Because they're not familiar with it, brother." Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly, such a small problem, do you still need to use your brain to think about it?

  Oh, and those who were not convinced could no longer speak out, was it really because they themselves were too stupid? He suffered a huge blow and lost face, unable to continue staying on, he slunk away in defeat. The remaining candidate for the position of house servant also looked at Lin Wanrong with admiration.

  Lin Wanrong easily passed the two checkpoints, secretly laughing in her heart. This Xiao family's housekeeper selection really likes to show off, recognizing characters and turning corners quickly, as if they also want to cultivate the housekeeper into a talented scholar.
