Chapter 19: Overcoming the difficulties
As soon as the interviewer finished speaking, someone protested strongly.
“Why did he pass?”
The interviewer glanced at the protesters and said leisurely, "Look at the words you wrote. Can you understand them?"
Jiang Chengfeng laughed secretly, walked out of the room and came to the interview room for the re-examination.
As soon as he walked into the room, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward came over with a lot box and asked Jiang Chengfeng to draw a lot.
Jiang Chengfeng didn't understand what was going on. He glanced at the others and found that everyone was drawing lots to choose their topics. So he stopped hesitating and drew a lot at random.
"Question number twenty-six!"
Jiang Chengfeng handed the bamboo stick to the interviewer, who then flipped open a thick question book and said slowly, "Why does the toilet need a roof?"
I do!
It turns out that this re-examination relies on brain teasers!
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly delighted, and pretended to be very embarrassed. Under the urging of the interviewer, he said uncertainly: "Could it be that God has eyes?"
The interviewer nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Jiang Chengfeng passed.
"I protest!"
Seeing Jiang Chengfeng pass the test so easily, one of the losers shouted.
The interviewer glared at him and shouted, "Your protest is invalid! Get out!"
Soon, the two servants standing outside the door came to chase him away. This man refused to leave, saying that this was cheating, and if Jiang Chengfeng was really capable, he should answer his difficult question.
Jiang Chengfeng smiled, pressed his hands, and said, "It's ok! To prove my innocence, I am willing to answer your questions!"
The man immediately shouted: "What is the song that the eunuch hates to listen to the most?"
Jiang Chengfeng almost laughed out loud.
This question is a piece of cake! This guy can't even answer it. I'm really worried about his IQ!
"A Plum Blossom!"
The man was stunned for a long time, and then left in a huff. The other two candidates for the re-examination showed admiration on their faces.
Walking out of the re-examination room, Jiang Chengfeng couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. The selection of servants in the Shen Mansion was really interesting. One moment they recited the Thousand Characters Classic, and the next they did brain teasers. Was this a recruitment of servants or a recruitment of doctors?
Arriving at the final trial room, Jiang Chengfeng found three servants in black sitting in the room. They were all elderly, but there was still a gleam of brilliance in their eyes.
What made Jiang Chengfeng feel strange was that since he came in, these three servants had been staring at him, looking him up and down as if they were appreciating a piece of art, and nodding their heads continuously.
Jiang Chengfeng looked himself up and down. Although my clothes are not made of silk or satin, they are clean. Is there anything wrong with them? Could it be that my face is disfigured?
He touched his cheek and was still as handsome as ever!
"Smart!" the first servant suddenly spoke.
"Very stylish!" said the second servant.
"How shameless..." said the third servant.
Jiang Chengfeng was secretly wondering, are these three guys all psychotic? Why are they all talking nonsense?
"You are good! Very good! Congratulations, little brother, you have passed the final assessment and officially become a servant of the Shen family!" the third servant said loudly.
"Stop!"
Jiang Chengfeng made a pause gesture, looked at the three servants in confusion, and asked, "What did you mean just now? Can you explain it?"
The first servant grinned, very vulgarly and indecently, "The initial test is mainly used to screen out the illiterate, the retest is used to screen out the mentally retarded, and this final test is used to screen out those who are ugly, because the servants of the Shen Mansion are the face of the Shen Mansion, and ugly ones are not allowed appear!"
"Also, we need to screen ordinary employees and high-tech talents! The wisdom shining in your eyes makes us all agree that you are the high-tech talent we are looking for, so... congratulations, you are accepted!"
Jiang Chengfeng looked at the three self-satisfied servants as if they were fools, and thought that the conditions for recruiting servants in the Shen Mansion were really weird !
Then, the three servants began to introduce themselves.
It turns out that the first servant is a cook, and the servants in the Shen Mansion call him Uncle Yang. The second servant is a gardener, called Uncle Zhong. And the third servant is the accountant, called Uncle Wen. These three have worked in the Shen Mansion for more than 20 years. They can be said to be the old men of the Shen Mansion. Now they are the second-class servants.
Jiang Chengfeng was in no mood to listen to the bragging of these three people. He interrupted their self-praise and shouted, "Stop arguing! Who can tell me what to do next?"
The three of them stopped arguing, and the third servant laughed and said, "Then we just need to inform the lady! Finally, you need to sign a contract to sell yourself!"
Hearing the words "sell body indenture", Jiang Chengfeng had a bad feeling. After a little thought, he asked tentatively, "Is this sell body indenture... for life?"
"Of course it's for life!" The second servant was very proud, and held his head high. "Every servant who enters the Shen Mansion is proud of the Shen Mansion ! Not only that, if you do well, the lady will also reward you with the surname Shen, and you can be called Shen Dazhu from now on!"
"Shen Dazhu?" Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but shudder. He didn't want such a rustic name to accompany him for the rest of his life.
The reason why he agreed to come to the Shen Mansion as a servant was simply to repay Uncle Wu for a favor, but Jiang Chengfeng forgot about the indenture.
As a time traveler , Jiang Chengfeng knew very well that the so-called indenture meant that he was deprived of everything.
Most likely including his virginity.
"Lifetime is impossible... I only sign contracts!"
"Contract?" The three old servants looked at each other and asked in unison, "What is a contract?"
Afterwards, Jiang Chengfeng explained the concept of the contract again. Finally, he emphasized that he had to sign a one-year contract first. During this year, he could work for the Shen family for three and a half hours a day, and the fruits of his labor would belong to the Shen family, but he would be a free man and not belong to the Shen family.
Of course, if the Shen family is not satisfied with his work, they can fire him at any time.
The three old men talked among themselves and all agreed that the so-called contract seemed to make sense.
"The contract system is actually beneficial to both parties. After a year, the Shen family can consider continuing to employ me, or maybe not! Moreover, both parties can continue to discuss many things at that time, such as salary and benefits!"
Finally, the three of them discussed for a while, and Uncle Wen made a summary speech. "The proposal you mentioned is very constructive! But it is more troublesome to implement. We still have to report it to the Madam and the eldest daughter for review. After it is approved, it will be announced at the next general meeting of all servants, and then everyone will vote, and then..."
Jiang Chengfeng interrupted him directly, "Alright! I got it, go and report it!"
