Chapter 280: Someone Wants to Hire Lu Sanzhu
Chapter 280: Someone Wants to Hire Lu Sanzhu Shu Yu instinctively stopped and saw a slightly overweight middle-aged man running up to her. Shu Yu and Lu Sanzhu exchanged glances, looking at the man in front of them with some confusion. "Who are you?" Shu Yu asked. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Qi, and I own this peach blossom forest and the lotus pond over there," the middle-aged man said with a smiling face. Shu Yu suddenly realized that although this peach blossom forest was open for anyone to enter, it did have an owner. Shu Yu nodded slightly. "So, you're Mr. Qi. What can we do for you?" "Well, about what happened just now, I saw it too. Especially this person..." He looked at Lu Sanzhu. Lu Sanzhu was taken aback and quickly introduced himself, "I'm Lu Sanzhu." He felt a bit anxious, hoping that he wasn't being blamed for falling into the lotus pond and damaging the flowers. Mr. Qi smiled and said, "Yes, Lu Sanzhu, your swimming skills are impressive. We happen to need someone with good water skills for some work. So, I'm thinking of hiring you to work for us." "Work?" Lu Sanzhu widened his eyes in disbelief. Mr. Qi nodded. "The main responsibility would be to watch over this lotus pond and lend a hand when something happens. For example, if someone falls into the water or if a guest drops something in, or any other tasks that may arise. Our people will help out, using nets or bamboo poles for closer incidents, and for farther ones, we have small boats. There won't be many opportunities to go into the water, but having good water skills is still necessary." According to the information Mr. Qi had received, Lu Sanzhu was not just good at swimming. He could hold his breath underwater for a long time as well. Earlier, when Shu Yu hadn't arrived yet, Lu Sanzhu had tried to swim underwater to the shore. He held his breath for a long time and swam a considerable distance. He almost succeeded, but someone who was spectating noticed him and shouted, ruining his attempt. However, Shu Yu narrowed her eyes and said, "Mr. Qi, you mentioned earlier that there are people responsible for the lotus pond and they would rescue anyone who falls in. But my third uncle didn't encounter anyone when he fell in..." "This is indeed embarrassing. There is someone specifically in charge of the lotus pond, but he took advantage of the good weather today and went out for a drink, nearly causing a problem." In fact, that person in charge is right here, and he even witnessed Lu Sanzhu being pushed into the pond. However, he is someone who seeks favor with others and doesn't dare to offend anyone. Seeing that Lu Sanzhu doesn't have any influential background and that he wouldn't die from the incident, he chose not to intervene. Anyway, once those young masters vent their anger, this matter will pass. Not only does he not take care of it himself, but he also prevents the other workers from taking action. Later, a worker who couldn't bear it anymore and happened to notice Mr. Qi's arrival in the peach blossom forest secretly ran over to inform him. "This kind of person has violated the rules here, damaging the reputation of my peach blossom forest. Naturally, I won't keep him anymore. As luck would have it, we are short of staff, so I wanted to ask if Lu Sanzhu would be interested in working here," Mr. Qi explained. Lu Sanzhu was extremely excited. "Me, me, Mr. Qi wants to hire me as the person in charge?" Mr. Qi replied awkwardly, "..." Shu Yu said, "..." She couldn't help but touch her forehead and said, "Don't daydream, okay? What Mr. Qi meant was that when the person in charge makes a mistake, there are other qualified senior workers who can take over the position. You would just take over the position of that senior worker, you understand?" Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
