Chapter 26: Cunning and Robbery (1)

  Although this happened, Lin Wanrong's face only turned red for a split second, and she quickly returned to normal.

  Qiao Qiao made a new pair of shoes for Lin Wan Rong, which fit perfectly. He walked back and forth several times, feeling extremely comfortable, and indeed, Qiao Qiao was skilled with her hands.

  Next to it was a brand new set of clothes, obviously also made for himself. Thinking about how busy Qiaoqiao had been during the day, Lin Wanrong's heart felt a pang of emotion, and he felt slightly apologetic for his earlier despicable behavior.

  Lin Wanrong walked back and forth, wearing his new clothes, feeling that this garment was tailored to his body, fitting perfectly. He didn't know if it was because of Cui's excellent craftsmanship or if he was born to be a clothes rack, but he thought shamelessly.

  With a soft rustling sound, Dong Qiaoqiao suppressed her shyness and walked out, the blush on her face still clearly visible.

  "Qiao Qiao——" Lin Wanrong looked at her and smiled awkwardly.

  Dong Qiaoqiao didn't say a word, walked to his side, gently tidied up his clothes, and carefully checked him from front to back, left to right, before nodding in satisfaction.

  Looking at her shy face, crystal-like complexion, the fragrance wafting from her body made Lin Wanrong have some romantic feelings again, and he couldn't help but want to hug her tightly and kiss her fiercely.

  Inhale deeply, lift your energy, retract your buttocks, Lin Wanrong silently recites her mantra.

  "Big brother, you're going to the Xiao family tomorrow, take good care of yourself. I'll make two new sets of clothes for you, come pick them up when you have time." Dong Qiaoqiao said softly.

  Lin Wanrong's heart trembled slightly as he was engaged in a fierce and extraordinary struggle with his thoughts, and a warm feeling spread throughout his body.

  Qiao Qiao is so gentle and kind to others, it's really not right to scold her like that. Lin Wanrong felt a twinge of guilt in his conscience and slightly blamed himself.

  The next morning, I arrived early at the Xiao family mansion, only to see countless diligent individuals surrounding two red placards, chattering incessantly.

  Lin Wanrong squeezed forward to take a look and found that it was the list of candidates for the first trial of Xiao's family servants, with countless names written on the big red list, densely packed.

  Luckily Lin Wan Rong had exceptional eyesight and finally found his own name - Lin San - in an inconspicuous corner.

  Why did these two characters look so awkward? Lin Wanrong thought of Old Man Wei's trick and suddenly felt annoyed.

  But looking around, there are all sorts of names. Zhang Dog Leftover, Xia Historical Benevolence, Liu Surplus Precision... compared to these, being called Lin San is actually a blessing. Lin Wanrong secretly wiped away cold sweat, it seems that Old Man Wei is still a decent person after all.

  "Who would have thought that I wouldn't even get a chance to take the first test, and yet I'm eliminated just like this? Heaven is destroying me!" A servant-like fellow next to him said tearfully.

  "What's wrong, brother? Why so sad?" another guy asked.

  The guy who was crying said: "It turns out that yesterday's registration was the preliminary round, I didn't know it at the time, and when I signed up, I glanced at those maids in the Xiao Mansion a few more times, and as a result, I was eliminated like this."

  "Brother, when it comes to chasing girls, you have to pick the right moment. Once you're in, there will be plenty of opportunities, won't there? Alas, I really feel sorry for you." That guy sighed endlessly and said.

  "Huh, look at you, brother, with this outfit, aren't you already a part of the household? Why are you still participating in the household selection?" another older brother asked strangely.

  The old brother who was crying out loud hummed and said, "What's so strange about this? In these times, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Can't I try too? Let me tell you, not only did I participate in the Xia family's house selection, but I also participated in the 'Good Boys of the Prefecture' held by the prefectural governor's mansion and the 'Coarse Female Students' held by the Jinling Women's Academy. Now I've passed the sea election and am advancing towards the top 100."

  "Disrespectful, disrespectful, brother you are indeed formidable."

  "Where, where, I heard that the capital city is holding a 'Youth Singing God Grand Prix', and I'm also preparing to sign up. The original ecological singing method I'm going to sign up for, brother, what do you think of me?"

  Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh in her heart, these days, as long as you're associated with a talent show, it's going to be a huge hit.

  However, he also felt a bit strange in his heart. Listening to these guys say that the selection of Xiaojia's household registration still had a preliminary round, how did he unknowingly pass it?

  Lin Wanrong was puzzled in her heart, could it be because of Old Man Wei? This Old Man Wei was a high-ranking housekeeper of the Xiao family, obviously a gold-level status, and she was recommended by him, so the Xiao family would naturally give some face to directly enter the preliminary trial.

  Looking at the red list next to it, it was a list of candidates for the talented youth award. Although there were two or three hundred people on the list, compared to the scale of registration, two-thirds had already been eliminated.

  The Xiao family obviously attaches great importance and respect to these talents, with the word "gongzi" added after each of their names, and the handwriting is neat and tidy, in stark contrast to the rough and careless household registration on this side.

  Lin Wanrong's first trial was scheduled for later in the afternoon, so he wasn't in a hurry. After waiting for a while, he saw Dong Rende walking quickly towards him.

  They agreed to meet the boss of Mei Wei Xuan this afternoon, Lin Wanrong and Dong Qiaoqiao had an embarrassing thing yesterday, and it's not good to go to his house with a dead face, so they decided to meet here.

  "Uncle Dong, did you bring all the silver notes?" Lin Wanrong asked.

  Dong Rende cautiously looked around and leaned in front of Lin Wanrong, saying: "All are brought, young master, a full 5,000 taels."

  Seeing Dong Rende's tense appearance, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh and patted his shoulder, saying: "Uncle Dong, wait until you see that boss later, follow my lead."

  Dong Rende nodded, now Lin Wanrong's status in the Dong family was extremely revered, of course what he said went.

  Dong Rende took Lin Wanrong to Mei Wei Xuan, and the two of them walked through the bustling areas of Jinling City. Seeing the crowds on the street, the sound of vendors calling out, and the small merchants shouting, Lin Wanrong felt as if she had returned to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

  Right at the entrance of Xuanwu Lake, which is also the most prosperous section of Jinling City, stands a five-story pavilion with flying eaves and walls, pavilions and kiosks. Just by looking at its momentum, one can already tell that it's not ordinary.

  Lin Wanrong took a rough look and was satisfied with both the location and the area. The only problem left was the price.

  Dong Rende took Lin Wanrong up to the third floor. The boss was an old man in his sixties or seventies, and he had met Dong Rende a few times before.

  Dong Rende said with a smile, then pointed to Lin Wanrong behind him: "Boss Wang, this is Lin Gongzi from the capital. His respected father will soon be taking up an official post in our Jiangsu province. Coincidentally, Lin Gongzi also plans to set up some businesses in Jinling and heard that your wine shop is for sale, so he came to take a look."

  "It turned out to be a noble guest from the capital, forgive me, forgive me. I didn't know that Lin Gongzi's mansion was..." As soon as Wang Boss heard it was someone from the capital, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, but having run a wine shop for many years and having welcomed and sent off countless people, he wasn't overly nervous either.

  Lin Wanrong took a few light steps, his right hand swung out, and a folding fan opened with a whoosh. The fan surface didn't depict mountains or rivers, but simply had four words - "Hard to be confused".
