"Contract workers are not a joke, cough, cough," Lin Wanrong knew he had misspoken and quickly pretended to cough twice to cover it up: "Contract workers, as the name suggests, is an employment contract signed between me and the Xiao family for a period of one year. During this time, I will serve the Xiao family, working eight hours a day, oh, that's four shifts. Personally, I am still a free man and do not belong to the Xiao family, of course, I am also a member of the Xiao family's household staff, and my labor belongs to the Xiao family. The advantage of this arrangement is that if the Xiao family is dissatisfied with me, they can fire me at any time."

  "Oh, oh," seeing the three old men staring at him tightly, meaning that even if you sign a lifelong contract, as long as the Xiao family is not satisfied with you, they can also let you roll up your bedding and leave at any time. Lin Wanrong hurriedly said: "And under this stimulus, I will be more motivated to make progress, more determined to work hard, contribute to the development of the Xiao family, and contribute a small part of my strength to the establishment of a stronger Great China. After one year, as long as both parties are satisfied, we can renew the contract and negotiate salary issues in a friendly manner."

  The words that followed made some sense, not seeking comfort, not being satisfied with the status quo, and bravely pioneering. Nowadays, there are few young people like Lin San who dare to self-motivate themselves, and the three old men nodded in praise.

  "Lin San, it's not that we don't agree with you. In fact, your proposal is very constructive. Abolishing the lifelong tenure of leading cadres is a topic we've been studying all along. With you bringing this up, at the next household representative conference, we'll put forward this topic for discussion. Once passed, we'll report it to Young Madam and the young ladies, then formally implement it. However, you also know that such reforms will encounter great resistance, so we can only proceed gradually. This time, we can only report your suggestion to Young Madam and the young ladies. Whether it succeeds or not, we don't know yet. But you should think carefully, if those above don't agree, you might be eliminated. Think about it carefully."

  Fu Bo's words were one after another, abolishing the lifelong system of leading cadres, representing the household registration conference, and the resistance to reform. Lin Wanrong was dizzy and finally heard the last sentence, hurriedly nodded and said: "Of course, I've thought it through, Fu Bo, you can report to your superiors quickly."

  Killing someone is just a matter of nodding one's head, repaying the kindness of Old Wei is possible, but changing one's name and surname to live in shame, Lin Wanrong would never do that, at worst he'd return his life to Old Wei.

  The three of them discussed it for a while and then entrusted Fu Bo to represent them in petitioning to the superior.

  Fu Bo walked out of the door, but saw a woman standing outside covering her mouth and secretly laughing.

  This young woman is not very old, but her appearance is extremely beautiful, and with time, she will definitely become a great beauty.

  "Second Miss, I didn't know you were here." Old Man Fu was delighted and hurried over. Seeing the woman's sly smile, he also smiled and said: "Did you just hear this young man's absurd idea too?"

  Xiao Er Miss hummed and said: "It's quite excessive, I've long known that this kid isn't anything good."

  Fu Bo saw that she was holding a piece of paper with a few words scribbled on it in a crooked and twisted manner, still exuding a somewhat unbridled flavor. He asked curiously: "Second Miss, what is this you're holding?"

  Miss Xiao's lips pursed, her shoulders slightly trembling, and she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Uncle Fu, look at this, it's the Three Character Classic that Lin San wrote in silence, haha!"

  It turned out that she was holding Lin Wanrong's answer sheet from the first round, and Fu Bo couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw these words.

  Whether literate or illiterate, even if you can only recognize half of the characters, based on the suggestion of that contract employee from just now, this kid doesn't seem like someone who hasn't read books before, so how come the characters he wrote are so terrible?

  Xiao Er Miss took out a small booklet from her bosom and pointed at the woman in the painting, saying to Fu Bo: "Fu Bo, look."

  Fu Bo looked at the painting album and his eyes lit up, saying: "This is the eldest young lady. Whose brushwork is this?"

  Xiao Er shook her head and said, "I don't know who painted this either. I bought it from Lin San, and many people have also bought this booklet from him. Hmph, that kid actually used his sister's portrait to make money, he's really gone bad."

  Lin Wanrong will do business, and Fu Bo is not suspicious at all. With that kid's face, it would be a waste if he didn't do business.

  Fu Bo Dao said, "Have you asked him who painted this? Although I don't understand painting, the brushwork of this portrait is completely different from what we've seen before. It's simple yet elegant, and the expression is vivid. Who knows where this master came from?"

  Xiao Er said, "I also asked him, but that kid just wouldn't say. Hmph, he can't even write a few words properly, definitely not this bad guy. Moreover, sister only appears once or twice a year, almost no one has seen what sister looks like, yet this master can draw her so vividly and lifelike, this master must be an extraordinary person with exceptional brushwork."

  Fu Bo nodded and said: "Then how should Lin San be dealt with?"

  He listened to Second Miss's meaning and seemed to have a lot of resentment towards Lin San, it seems that Lin San has no fate with the Xiao family anymore.

  Xiao Er bit her lip, a hint of a smile on her face: "This guy has a lot of sinister ideas, and he's done so many bad things. Hmph, how can I let him off easily?"

  Fu Bo didn't understand Second Miss's meaning: "So, Second Miss, this Lin San, are we going to sign or not?"

  Miss Xiao smiled and said: "Sign, of course. Fu Bo, you just follow his meaning, make a contract for him as an employee, hum, as long as he enters the door of my Xiao family, I will..."

  A devilish smile spread across her face: "Close the door and let the dogs out."

  Fu Bo flew generally, but the beads of sweat on his body fell down layer by layer. He was too familiar with the power of Miss Er's phrase "Close the door and release the dog".

  The "master" in Xiao Er's mouth is now having a great conversation with the two old men left in the house, anyway, bragging doesn't require tax, and the three of them are all experts in this field, boasting is flying everywhere, saliva almost flooded the room.

  From these two old men, Lin Wanrong roughly understood some of the situation about Xiao's family.

  Xiao family's old master, Xiao Furen's father-in-law, held a position in the six ministries and had served as Minister of Rites. He had many disciples all over the world. After his retirement, he returned to Jinling City to spend his later years. When he passed away, the current Emperor of the Great Hua Dynasty personally wrote a eulogy and bestowed upon him the posthumous title of "Mr. Ren De".

  However, after the old master passed away, the young master of the Xiao family also fell ill and died two years later. The Xiao family lost its pillar, and their situation was greatly reduced. Fortunately, many of the old master's friends took care of them, and with Mrs. Xiao's hard work and Miss Xiao's intelligence, the mother and daughter worked hard to maintain the large estate of the Xiao family until today.

  But the old master of the Xiao family passed away many years ago, and his influence gradually weakened. With more and more competitors emerging, the business of the Xiao family has become increasingly difficult to manage in recent years. In order to maintain the family business, Miss Xiao has been traveling extensively throughout Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces for many years, rarely staying at home. As a result, very few people in Jinling City have seen her.

  Lin Wanrong also obtained an important piece of information from the two old men, which was about this year's household recruitment. Although it looked like a large scale and the number of applicants was similar to previous years, the number of new household recruits in the Xiao family this year was extremely limited, and it was absolutely confidential to outsiders.

  Lin Wanrong could understand this point. When doing business, he always liked to exaggerate the company's turnover, and only a few people knew the actual content.

  "What about these geniuses then?" Lin Wanrong asked the two old men directly, recalling a question that had been lingering in her mind.
