Chapter 280: Someone Wants to Hire Lu Sanzhu
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Yu stopped subconsciously.
A middle-aged man with a slightly plump figure ran over.
Shu Yu and Lu Sanzhu looked at each other and then at the person in front of them with some confusion.
“You are…”
“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Qi. This peach blossom forest and the lotus pond are both mine,” The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Shu Yu suddenly reacted. Yes, although this peach blossom forest was open and anyone was allowed to enter, it did have an owner.
She nodded slightly, “So it’s Lord Qi. Why are you looking for us?”
“It’s like this. I saw what happened just now, especially this…” He looked at Lu
Sanzhu.
The latter was stunned and quickly said, “My name is Lu Sanzhu.”
After saying that, he felt very uneasy. Could it be that the other party was going to find fault with him for falling into the lotus pond and destroying his flowers?
Lord Qi smiled, “Yes, Lu Sanzhu. Brother Lu is very good at swimming, and we just happen to lack such a good swimmer. That’s why I want to hire Brother Lu to work for us.”
“Work?” Lu Sanzhu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Lord Qi nodded, “My main responsibility is to watch over the lotus pond and help out if anything happens. For example, if someone falls into the water, a customer drops something, or if it’s something else, the workers will help to fish them up. Of course, we can use a net of a bamboo pole to fish those that are closer to the sh.o.r.e, and we have small boats for those who are further away. There won’t be many opportunities to go into the water, but the worker still has to be good at swimming.”
According to the news Lord Qi received, Lu Sanzhu didn’t just know how to swim. He could also hold his breath underwater for a long time.
Before Shu Yu came, Lu Sanzhu had wanted to go ash.o.r.e from the side, so he swam to the bottom of the river. After holding his breath for a long time and swimming for a long distance, he almost succeeded. In the end, he was caught by the people who were watching the show who exclaimed about his location, which was why he failed at the last step.
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, “Lord Qi, you just said that someone is in charge of the lotus pond. If someone falls into the water, they will save him. But no one went to save my Third Uncle…”
“This matter is indeed our fault. There was a steward in charge of the lotus pond, but he took advantage of the good weather today to go out for a drink, which almost resulted in trouble.”
In fact, the steward was right there, and he did see Lu Sanzhu being pushed
into the water. Unfortunately, he was a sycophant who didn’t dare to offend anyone. Seeing that the latter didn’t have any backing and that he wouldn’t die, he simply let the matter be.
Either way, after those young masters finished venting their anger, this matter would be over.
Not only did he let the matter be, but he also stopped his subordinates from doing anything.
Later on, a worker couldn’t stand it anymore. He saw Lord Qi coming to the peach blossom forest and quickly ran over to tell him.
“The steward broke the rules here and damaged the reputation of my peach blossom forest. Naturally, I won’t hire him anymore. I just happen to be lacking in manpower, so I wanted to ask Brother Lu if you’re willing to work for me.”
Lu Sanzhu was beyond excited, “I, I… Does Lord Qi want to hire me as a steward?”
Both Lord Qi and Shu Yu were speechless.
She couldn’t help but ma.s.sage her temples as she said, “Can you stop dreaming? What Lord Qi meant was since the steward will be hired, another experienced worker will naturally take over, and you would take over the position of the worker, understand?”
