Chapter 207: So good at pretending
In the busy recruitment market, there is a bustle of people coming and going.
In front of the booth of the Lin Chamber of Commerce, a large group of students were queuing up for interviews. The examiner Lu Xiuming was meticulous and carefully screened resumes. He himself was a Confucian monk born and raised in the world of Lu Guo, so he naturally knew a set of interview standards suitable for the general environment. , this is also the trust that the Black Skull Demon Lord has in him.
Although the people in Xiongshan Mountain were very envious of the generous conditions offered by this chamber of commerce, they did not dare to try it without permission. They wanted to see how others interviewed first and secretly learn from their experience.
The on-site interview session is underway.
"Examiner, Wu Hanqiao, a junior, graduated from White Deer Academy. He once represented the academy in the Lu State Cultivation World Competition and won the title of Top 100. At the same time, he specialized in the art of talisman and seal script, and minored in formations, puppets, and beast control."< br>
This is a top student from a top university and can be called an all-rounder.
"Examiner, young student Jin Wenhao, graduated from Shangyang Academy, failed the Four Treasures Fighting Examination, second-level certificate in formation arithmetic, and first-class certificate in silver language"
This is an average student from an ordinary school.
"Examiner, Gong Shutang, a junior student, graduated from Hongze Lake Green Clam Mountain College. He has rich experience in aquaculture and protection. When he was a young practitioner, he made a living by selling fish."
This is a weak student from Pheasant University who has internship experience.
……
After one interview, some of them were cleared and some were kept. The above three people were all candidates who passed the interview.
There is no doubt that the first top student will be admitted directly. It is a matter of course.
The experience of the second scumbag resonated with the examiner Lu Xiuming, and he was accepted.
The third academically weak person has a very ugly background. Green Hashan College is not one of the top ten academies in Lu, but it is more or less well-known locally. Moreover, the young man himself has been engaged in related industries and has been favored by others.
Others were not so lucky. Lu Xiuming was more or less able to control the situation.
Xiong Shanren's eyes flashed. He didn't even look at those who were eliminated. He only learned the words from these admitted candidates and prepared to package himself well.
It is precisely because he does not understand the system of Lu State, the endorsements of major academies, the value of various competition certificates, and the examiner Lu Xiuming will not deliberately verify the authenticity of "academic qualifications", that makes Xiongshan people rise. The idea of fishing in troubled waters.
Seeing that it was his turn, Xiongshanren mentally reviewed the draft several times. After feeling that he had absorbed the strengths of each family, he felt a little excited and sat down directly at the table.
Examiner Lu Xiuming frowned slightly. The man in front of him looked really rude!
All the students around him also looked disgusted. This man was unkempt and rude. He also had a gangster air about him and did not have the temperament of a scholar at all.
The key is that you didn’t bring your resume with you during the interview. You simply didn’t care about the examiner. Are you really applying for the job sincerely?
"Where's your resume?"
Lu Xiuming asked impatiently.
"Uh that"
The man on Xiongshan Mountain was at a loss. He had just sat in on someone else's interview and had no time to prepare. Only then did he realize that he had forgotten this detail.
Seeing his embarrassment, Lu Xiuming didn't bother too much, but went straight to the topic:
"Please ask this student to introduce himself!"
The man from Xiongshan breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the bench, and began to recite word by word his draft of "Blending" the heads of the three families:
"Sir Examiner, I am from a certain Xiongshan family."
"Huh???"
"Ah no, Xiaosheng Xiong Shan graduated from Shangyang Academy. He once participated in the Lu State Cultivation World Fighting Competition and failed the Four Treasures Fighting Examination."
"Not passed? How can I participate in the competition if I haven't passed???"
"Ah, no, I have passed the Doufu exam, I have passed it, I have a second-level certificate in formation arithmetic, and a first-class certificate in Chinese language"
The Xiongshan man stammered and endured the sweat on his temples, feeling more and more panicked.
".I have extensive experience in aquaculture and conservation, and I also made a living selling fish when I was young"
Examiner Lu Xiuming frowned when he heard this, and several people behind him who had passed the admission also looked puzzled.
How come this person’s experience is so similar to ours?
All the students around him felt that his resume was a bit confusing, and they couldn't help but talk about it.
The examiner Lu Xiuming turned around and asked the student from Shangyang Academy who had just passed the interview: "Is this person a graduate of your academy this year?"
The scumbag answered honestly that he didn’t know, he had never heard of it.
However, this is not a problem for Lu Xiuming. As the general manager of the Chamber of Commerce, he naturally has the list of job-seeking students who graduated from major academies this year and published by the recruitment market.
After some comparison, no one from Xiongshan Mountain was found among them.
The people on Xiongshan Mountain were on pins and needles, their faces flushed, for fear that the examiner would expose them in public.
Lu Xiuming stared at him for a long time, thinking for a long time, and finally decided to accept him considering that he had already reached the foundation-building stage.
After all, the academy is an endorsement, but cultivation is hard power. Although Lu Xiuming comes from a Confucian family, he is not very pedantic.
In the past, he would have definitely looked for cheap labor during the Qi training period, but now the Lin Chamber of Commerce's situation is a bit special. According to the "vice president" above, he wanted to start his own breeding farm and dig canals outside the city to breed a huge amount of seafood, all of which are spiritual aquatic products that have cultivation levels.
Ordinary qi-training monks really can't control so many spiritual creatures, let alone dig ditches to breed them.
Isn't this stupid guy who is currently in the foundation-building stage doing some hard work for the Chamber of Commerce?
As for why the Lin Chamber of Commerce suddenly gave up the import channel, stopped doing the previously profitless business, and insisted on engaging in breeding on its own, it was naturally the instruction of the Black Skull Demon Lord.
I can't just sell the empty shells to someone else when I'm looking for someone to take over the business, and Donghai's purchasing channels can't sell it, so I have to build a temporary breeding farm myself, and the next person can continue to take over the business and turn it into a sustainable business. Otherwise, it really won't be possible. Easy to sell.
The Xiongshan native was so dizzy that he received the invitation and was hired by the Lin Chamber of Commerce as the person in charge of the fish farm. To put it mildly, he could also be called the "fish pond manager."
He almost died of joy!
A fisherman’s dream job!
You can also fish!
Fragrant, really fragrant.
I just came to Lu State, and I didn’t expect to have such a good job. The Lin Chamber of Commerce treated me well!
But what he didn't notice was that just outside the talent recruitment market, two Dai family monks were quietly watching this scene.
……
In the evening, in the cave in the north of the city.
The Dai family gathered together and listened to one of them reporting.
"The Lin Chamber of Commerce has not changed hands yet, but today I was in the recruitment market and found another middle-aged man with a beard who claimed to be from Xiongshan."
"What?"
"Are you sure you heard correctly?"
"Is there another Bear Mountain man?"
……
Everyone was puzzled. Is it so easy to get the nickname Xiongshanren?
"That stupid guy who claimed to be from Xiongshan Mountain was finally admitted by the Lin Chamber of Commerce."
"???"
Everyone felt that there was something unusual at this time, and Dai Fudeng even asked: "Then what?"
"Then." This Dai family disciple said with confusion in his eyes: "Then the Xiongshan native was appointed as the fish pond manager of the Lin Chamber of Commerce. It is said that he will go to take office outside the city tomorrow."
"The fish pond manager?"
Dai Fudeng immediately noticed a problem. How could a new applicant be assigned to the position of general manager as soon as he joined the Chamber of Commerce?
"What kind of cultivation is he?"
This Dai family member quickly replied: "My subordinates secretly tested it with a soul-detecting plate. It is in the late stage of foundation building."
"Hiss!——"
Now everyone came to their senses. No wonder they were entrusted with important tasks. It turned out to be a late-stage foundation-building monk.
They all immediately thought that the bearded bearded man from Xiongshan Mountain and the young man from Xiongshan Mountain in white clothes from Lin's Chamber of Commerce seemed to be in the late stage of foundation building. Is there any connection between them?
After getting along for a long time, everyone has developed a habit of asking Zhu Duiyou when in doubt.
Zhu Duiyou walked around the room for a long time and suddenly waved his fan.
"I understand!"
"This Bearded Bearded Man from Xiongshan Mountain and the young man from Xiongshan Mountain in white, despite their different appearance, are actually the same person!" "And today's performance is just that Xiongshanshan Man intends to take this opportunity to perform in a way that ordinary people would not expect. In this way, he not only changed his appearance, but also changed his vest, from the surname Lin to the surname Xiong, and escaped out of the city and out of everyone's sight."
"What a trick to build the plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly!"
"After today, you thought he was still in the city preparing to resell Lin's Chamber of Commerce, waiting around the city gate for screening, but in fact he had already planned to leave with a different identity. Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be so famous that his tail was cut off. The way to survive!”
"But compared to selling the Dai family's property in Wangyue City, it's no big deal if the Lin Chamber of Commerce abandons it."
"It's really a difficult opponent, but it's a pity that he doesn't know that Xiongshanren's vest has been taken out by us a long time ago, and now his flaw is exposed!"
……
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect the Xiongshan people to be so insidious, and they were almost deceived by him.
If the Xiongshan people escape from the city, except for the Golden Core monks, there will be no way to catch up. They will have no chance to make a comeback and let their son go unpunished. Even if the Dai family sends a new Jindan master to come to Wangyue City again, the trip will be in vain.
At that time, the angry Dai family will definitely find a scapegoat, and then this person will most likely not be able to wear it!
"Mad, this guy from Bear Mountain is really nothing!"
"It's so treacherous to have such a plan"
“There’s something to this trick of concealing the truth~”
"It's okay, okay, everything can't escape Brother Zhu's eyes."
……
Everyone screamed, "Holy shit," and at the same time marveled at Zhu Duiyou's insight into fire.
Dai Bubu hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhu, how do you think we should respond now?"
Zhu Duiyou shook his feather fan gently, with a graceful demeanor and a look of wisdom: "Don't panic, since the people in Xiongshan want to escape, then the whole drama must be done. We will wait for him at the breeding farm outside the Lin's Chamber of Commerce. That’s it”
Everyone acted according to the plan and left the city one after another that night, found the designated location, and secretly ambush without mentioning it.
……
On the second day, the people on Xiongshan Mountain were glowing. They threw the small cards in their hands into the corner, put on the uniform uniforms of the Lin Chamber of Commerce, and left the city leisurely.
We arrived at a large courtyard one mile outside the city, with the four characters "Lin's Fish Pond" written on it.
The Xiongshan man nodded and strode in. Passing through the gate and front yard, a group of young men who had already received a message from the city's chamber of commerce greeted him with smiles on their faces.
"Is the person here the manager of Xiongshan?"
"Exactly."
"Please hurry up and let us show you around."
"Well, lead the way!"
The people from Xiongshan did their part, inspected the entire compound as a leader, and made a "professional breakdown" of the plates in this farm.
Don't tell me, what he does is not a waste of talent, he does have something.
When he was in the bear waters of the East China Sea, he was also a well-known water bandit. If he could rob, he would do two jobs. If he couldn't, he would eat from the sea. He had also done farming before, and now he could be said to have returned to his old business.
Now that he came to Lu State for the first time, he met a "bo Le" like Lu Xiuming on the first day and received such good welfare benefits. He couldn't help but be very interested in Lin's Chamber of Commerce and planned to do his best to use his expertise to contribute to the Chamber of Commerce. Work hard to repay your kindness.
So as soon as I took office this morning, after an inspection and knowing what I was doing, I rolled up my sleeves, rolled up my trouser legs, and started digging the fish pond diligently.
Of course, if he knew that the "fish pond" was just a cover, and even the boss was about to run away, he didn't know what he would think
……
Three poles high in the sun, frogs, drums and cicadas are chirping.
The Xiongshan people in the courtyard were still working hard without complaint, but the Dai family members who had been watching on the big trees outside the courtyard for a long time could no longer sit still.
"What's going on? Why didn't this Xiongshan guy run away and actually dug a fish pond?"
"Yeah, it's really weird!"
"Is it true that the fake show is really addictive?"
"Hey, don't tell me, why do I feel so professional?"
……
Everyone was whispering and talking, but Dai Fudong was very anxious and couldn't help but ask Zhu Duiyou next to him:
"Brother Zhu, what should we do now? The people in Xiongshan are staying in the fish pond compound and cannot come out. The traps we set on the road behind are useless. We have wasted a whole night's work."
"Brother Dai, be patient and don't be impatient. The people on Xiong Mountain are full of tricks and tricks. Don't mess up your position. Since he won't escape, we might as well wait and see what happens."
"Brother Zhu's words are wrong. The people on Xiongshan Mountain seem to be digging fish ponds. How do you know that he is not secretly setting up a large formation? If he sets up a master-level formation again, how can we capture him and bring him to justice? ”
"This seems reasonable, but time is in our hands. As long as we keep an eye on him now, when the Dai family's new golden elixir ancestor arrives in a few days, it will be difficult to fly by then. We still have a great achievement, so why bother? In a hurry? ”
Zhu Duiyou was now clear-headed and knew how to advance and retreat. He tried his best to help Dai Bubu and persuade him to take the safest plan.
However, Dai Bubu had a hunch at this time that he could not wait any longer. Youdao said that the nights were long and the dreams were many, so he should be disturbed by them. If we don't take action now, what if the people from Xiongshan take the opportunity to escape?
"I have made up my mind. Since he won't come out, we will go and meet him in person!"
No one from the Dai family raised any objections, so at the critical moment, they naturally followed Dai's lead, and Zhu Duiyou had no choice but to keep up.
……
The Xiongshan native wiped the mud off his ankles. As soon as he raised his head, he saw two young Confucian scholars walking into the courtyard, followed by more than twenty followers.
"You are"
"I am Dai Fubu and am studying under Yunchuan Academy."
"I, Zhu Duiyou, studied under Jingyang Academy."
"Haha, we are from the Dai family, and we have taken the liberty of visiting today. I hope fellow Taoists can be considerate!"
Dai Bubu couldn't smile but revealed his identity directly, telling him that the master of suffering was now at his door, and planned to see how panicked the people on Xiongshan Mountain would look in the next second.
But what he didn't expect was that the people in Xiongshan didn't know the Dai family of the cultivation family at all. He had only been in Lu for a few days, and he was completely unfamiliar with the place. At this moment, he thought that the Dai family was the upstream and downstream partners of the Lin Chamber of Commerce!
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Everyone from the Dai family comes to Lin's Fish Pond. This place is really brilliant. Come on, come on, please take a seat!"
Xiong Shanren enthusiastically asked everyone to sit down, thinking that he could not neglect his customers and he had to behave well and not embarrass the Lin Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone in the Dai family stared blankly at him, who was busy with his business, "Gulu Gulu", chipping more than twenty stone benches, and placing them in front of the guests as if nothing happened. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
Then they couldn't help but sneer.
Pack!
You kid is so good at pretending!
Things have gotten to this point and they are still acting here!
There was teasing in Dai Fudeng's tone: "Should I call fellow Taoist Xiong Shanren? Or Wanliu Academy, Bu Peiying!"
The people on Xiongshan Mountain looked confused and felt a little confused: "Wanliu Academy? Bu Peiying? I haven't heard of it. If a certain family does not change its name or surname, so does the people on Xiongshan Mountain."
Everyone was slandering in their hearts, secretly cursing this boy for not crying until he saw the coffin.
It’s already here and you’re still pretending!
Zhu Duiyou stepped forward slightly, pretending to glance at the fish pond inadvertently, comparing the sizes, and asked in a subtle way:
"What kind of fish pond is this? It can be so fake?"
The people in Xiongshan puffed up their chests and looked complacent:
"The bear-style nine-square grid professional fish pond can of course be installed!"
"You see it is long from east to west and wide from north to south. The ratio of length to width is five to three."
"The light is long, the concealment is small, and the breeding net can be done with one hand."
"The bottom is shaped like a turtle's back, so you don't have to worry about tilting out of the water."
"Pile blue and white stones around, and no seafood can escape!"
……
Everyone in the Dai family stayed there stupidly, listening to his professional explanation of the fish pond, and for a moment they almost forgot what they were here for.
－－－－－－－－－－－－
And in Wangyue City, in a private room of a five-story restaurant.
Lin Shan was shaking hands cordially with a wealthy businessman. The two finally reached a transfer agreement, which will be notarized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in two days for a comprehensive handover.
"Haha, if Fellow Daoist Lin is free in the future, don't forget to go back to the Lin Chamber of Commerce."
"What the hell, Fellow Daoist Qian is joking, there is still the Lin Chamber of Commerce, it should be called the Qian Chamber of Commerce!"
"Hahahaha!".
