Chapter 33: Charging Through Three Passes (2)

  Entering the third small room, unexpectedly, there were three old men in their fifties sitting inside, all wearing green shirts and small hats, deeply afraid that others would not know they were family servants.

  Three people were nodding and shaking their heads, seeing Lin Wanrong come in, they stopped talking, their eyes swept over him at once.

  After waiting for a long time, these old men still didn't make a sound, nor did they let Lin Wanrong do anything. They just stared at him straightly, with a playful glint in their eyes.

  What does this mean? Lin Wanrong was puzzled in her heart, carefully sizing herself up, apart from the clothes being a bit dirty from fighting with Dong Qingshan and the others earlier, there didn't seem to be anything else that would attract people.

  Is it because I'm handsome? I quite agree with that, but what I want to attract is a little girl, not you several dry old men.

  Lin Wanrong saw these guys staring at him with fierce eyes, their eyeballs not moving, as if watching monkeys in a zoo. He was also somewhat angry, dead or alive, you say something.

  His temper flared up, and he stared fiercely at the three people with his eyes. The four of them glared at each other, refusing to back down.

  Later on, Lin Wanrong simply and extremely arrogantly moved a small stool to sit in front of the three people, his gaze was even more ferocious than the three people in front of him.

  "This kid is shameless——" It wasn't until much later that one of the old men finally spoke up, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

  "This kid is extremely shameless—" said the second old man, with the same appreciation.

  The third old man looked at Lin Wanrong and nodded: "Your shameless appearance is quite similar to my style when I was young."

  Lin Wanrong suddenly felt that his face was too thin, in front of these extremely shameless seniors, he was so small.

  "Shamelessness is a fundamental element of being a high-end housekeeper. Young one, you're ruthless, and from you, I seem to see my own appearance back in the day. A new star is rising in the housekeeping world, believe me, you will become an outstanding housekeeper." The first old man said shamelessly.

  Lin Wanrong lightly spat, these few guys are completely crazy.

  The second old man continued: "Congratulations to you, you have already passed the test completely. As long as you are willing, you can become a glorious housekeeper in our Xiao family mansion at any time."

  "Hold on, hold on," Lin Wanrong hastily called out: "Which one of you can give me an explanation, what's going on here?"

  The third old man chuckled and said, "No problem. You want to ask how you passed the three tests, right? Hehe, listen to me slowly. The first test, we wanted were literate house slaves, illiterates were not allowed; the second test, we wanted were clever and agile house slaves, weak-minded ones were not allowed; this third test, was presided over by the three most outstanding house slaves of the Xiao family, hehe, this is the most important one. We also looked at the appearance of the candidates, you know, the Xiao family is a renowned aristocratic family, those who are ugly should go get plastic surgery first before coming."

  "Secondly, look at the character. Those who are extremely honest and down-to-earth, we need them to guard the warehouse, so we can rest assured that they won't embezzle. As for someone like you, haha, you're exactly the kind of high-end talent we're in dire need of, anywhere but the warehouse is fine."

  "Hey, this old man is clearly saying that I'm morally corrupt!" Lin Wanrong's face showed a hint of indignation. The old man hastily said: "Don't worry, we're not suspecting your moral character. For someone like you, we won't measure you by your moral character."

  "You mean I have no taste?" Lin Wanrong said angrily.

  "Haha, I didn't say that. Actually, it's been many years since we've seen someone with a face as thick-skinned as yours. As soon as we saw you, we felt a sense of shock, as if we were looking at our former selves. We believe that after careful polishing and given time, you will definitely become the most dazzling star in the household servant industry. Your future prospects are boundless, with great potential for achievement."

  The old man finished speaking and burst into exaggerated laughter, with an air of "I am Bo Le and you are a thousand-mile horse".

  Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly, it seemed that the Thick-Faced God Technique still needed to be cultivated. Looking at the expressions of these three guys, in the future, as long as they were mixed up in this Xiao family's mansion, they would probably be eaten by them.

  The three old men introduced themselves one by one. It turned out that they didn't brag, they had been in the Xiao family for 30 or 40 years, starting from the old master of the Xiao family. The first old man won the first prize in the Xiao family's culinary competition for ten consecutive sessions, the second old man was a craftsman, proficient in carpentry and tiling, and was the winner of several "Lu Ban Golden Awards" of the Xiao family. The third old man was known as a flower enthusiast, good at planting flowers, grasses and trees, and was the recipient of the Labor Medal of the Xiao family.

  Three old men were all very interested in Lin Wanrong and they all shouted for him to follow them, so that their unique skills would have someone to inherit after they died.

  Lin Wanrong was completely uninterested in these things, he just wanted to mix here for a year, repay the kindness of Old Wei, and then leave with a pat on his butt.

  Seeing these old men arguing with each other in a manner that was impossible to reconcile, Lin Wanrong impatiently said: "What are you quarreling about? Who is the person in charge here?"

  The third old man chuckled and said, "Your shameless appearance is quite similar to my style when I was younger." This sentence made Lin Wanrong the most angry. From the introduction earlier, Lin Wanrong knew that his name was Fu Bo.

  Fu Bo Dao said: "As long as you pass the first two tests and then pass our three-person review, there won't be a problem. We just need to report to Young Master's wife, and you can directly sign the contract with us."

  The "Young Madam" they mentioned was none other than Xiao's wife. These three men had followed Old Master Xiao for a long time, and naturally, their seniority was very high. They had watched Xiao's wife get married back then, and were used to calling her "Young Madam".

  "Indentured servant?" Upon hearing these three words, Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat: "That... that indentured servant, does it mean I'll be sold to the Xiao family as a slave for my entire life?"

  "Of course." Fu Bo said with a straight face and a loud voice: "As long as you sign the contract, you will be a member of the Xiao family, a proud servant, holding a golden rice bowl for life. You will belong to the Xiao family for this lifetime, born as a person of the Xiao family, died as a ghost of the Xiao family. This is an honor that countless people dream of. The lady will also grant you the surname Xiao, and you will no longer be called Lin San, but Xiao San."

  "Xiao San?" Lin Wanrong exclaimed: "Still for a lifetime?"

  Lin Wanrong thought a thousand times, ten thousand times, but forgot that when going to another's home as a servant, one must sign a contract of servitude, meaning they would belong to others for their entire life, and there was no such thing as a one-year agreement.

  His grandmother's, and also had to change his surname to Xiao. For someone like Lin Wanrong who held extremely strong masculine chauvinism, this was absolutely unacceptable.

  "Then, can I be a contract employee?" Lin Wanrong said with a flicker of her eyes.

  "What's a contract worker?" The three old men exclaimed together: "What kind of thing is a contract worker?"
