"What are you four doing standing still? Let's start!"
The person in charge of recruitment looked at Ma Er and the foursome and said.
"Excuse me, what do these push-ups mean?"
Ma Er asked with a smile.
The person in charge of recruitment glanced at Ma Er, and then said: "The new one."
"This boss has a keen eye."
Ma Er immediately responded: "We four people from the same village have suffered a disaster at home."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Before Ma Er could finish his prepared words, he was directly interrupted by the person in charge of recruitment: "I'm here to recruit workers, not to listen to your family background. We don't check these."
Ma Er was a little embarrassed, but at the same time he felt that Su Jing's workshop was just different.
"Here, if you see it, follow their example. It's called push-ups. You can do thirty of them within one stick of incense."
The person in charge of recruitment pointed at the applicant lying down and sitting next to him and said.
"Okay."
Ma Er nodded and immediately arrived at the assessment office, followed closely by his three "fellow villagers".
When the number of people reaches ten, a stick of incense is lit and the test officially begins.
Thirty push-ups, one stick of incense takes about half an hour, and thirty push-ups is not too much.
But this is based on modern standards. Most ancient people were undernourished.
Moreover, it is something they have never done before, so it is quite difficult.
At this level, there are a lot of cheaters.
Among the four-person team, there was actually one person who failed to meet the standard.
Wang Wu did 30, but his posture was judged to be substandard, so it didn’t count.
Ma Er glared at Wang Wu. He couldn't say anything clearly in front of so many people, so he had no choice but to enter the next assessment level.
Just like that, in one morning, Ma Er and the others were all here to take the assessment.
In the end, only two people passed, Ma Er and Zhang San.
Not the two members of Mal's quartet, but among all the applicants who participated in the physical fitness group assessment, only Ma Er and Zhang San passed.
"Yes, you passed."
The person in charge of recruitment looked at the two people and announced.
"Then boss, we can go to work in the papermaking workshop now."
Ma Er said very excitedly.
This was a task assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang. He just wanted to complete it quickly, the sooner the better.
After such a physical test, it was actually quite tiring.
However, the person in charge of recruitment said: "Don't worry, wait, it's not over yet."
"Huh? Are you still waiting?"
Ma Er said a little puzzled.
The person in charge of recruitment said coldly: "What? Don't want to? Then go back."
"No, no, no! You misunderstood, we are willing to wait."
Ma Er replied immediately.
Just kidding, this is just the last step, how could we give up?
"Then just stay here, I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon."
The person in charge of recruitment said to the two of them in a bad tone, and then went out.
Not long after leaving the recruitment office, the face of the person in charge of recruitment became a little different.
Although he has been in charge of recruiting workers here for a short time, this is the first time he has met someone who can pass the physical fitness team's assessment perfectly.
In fact, the normal assessment standards are not that high at all.
Su Jing gave a perfect score for each item, as long as the total score is 60 points.
But Su Jing also told the person in charge of recruitment that if someone with perfect scores appears, report to him immediately, because such a person is most likely not looking for a job.
Therefore, the person in charge of recruitment immediately went to Su Jing's house.
Not long after, he came to Su Jing: "Boss, there are two people who have received full marks. Now they are stabilized by me. I came here to inform you."
oh.
Su Jing stopped teaching and said to Zhu Ru: "Niu Su, you learn it yourself first. I have something to deal with."
"I understand, Master Su."
Zhu Ru nodded, lowered his head and started studying by himself.
Zhu Biao on the side asked Su Jing: "Master Su, what's the matter?"
Su Jing smiled: "It's no big deal, just stay home and I'll come back after I've taken care of it."
Su Jing would definitely not let her two students follow this kind of thing.
"Yes, Master Su."
Zhu Biao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After settling the two students, Su Jing set off.
At this time, Ma Er and the two people who had been waiting also noticed that something was wrong.
It's too long!
And there are fewer and fewer other applicants around.
"Brother Ma, isn't something happening?"
Zhang San asked Ma Er questions.
Ma Er's face condensed slightly and he said: "Don't be anxious, let's take a look again."
Outside, after Li Si and Wang Wu were swiped, they were not idle and continued to inquire around.
Soon, they also noticed something was wrong.
Because some people who failed the physical fitness test have already entered the next stage.
this.
has a problem!
They looked at each other and already had the idea of forcibly contacting Ma Er.
At this moment, Su Jing arrived.
When the two saw Su Jing, they immediately became calm.
No matter what, we can't be discovered by this person.
"Where is the person?"
Su Jing said to the person in charge of recruitment.
"Boss, it's right inside."
The person in charge of recruitment brought Su Jing to a room.
"Okay, you go down first, it has nothing to do with you here."
Su Jing said something and opened the door directly.
"You two, you must be a little anxious waiting."
Su Jing looked at Ma Er and the two of them and said with a smile.
When Ma Er saw it was Su Jing, a flash of shock flashed across his face, but he immediately suppressed it and said with a smile: "What did Boss Su say? We are here to make a living, so we don't dare to be anxious."
I have to say that Ma Er's acting skills are still good.
Zhang San on the side was a little worse. He could only watch and say nothing.
Su Jing slowly came to the two of them, seemingly very close to each other, but she always maintained a relatively safe position.
These two people were guys who even passed the test they set with full marks.
Definitely not an ordinary person!
Ma Er also noticed Su Jing's caution, but he still acted calmly.
"You two, my temple is too small. I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate your two giant Buddhas."
Su Jing sat down and smiled at the two of them. Her words were already half-clarified.
Hearing Su Jing's words, Zhang San's facial expression management was a little out of control.
"Boss Su, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"
Ma Er was still performing hard, he really didn't want to reveal his identity.
Su Jing looked at Ma Er and said: "This is boring, so I might as well make it clearer. If you want money, you two can tell me the number, and I promise not to bargain."
In Su Jing's opinion, this was probably another undercover agent sent by a competitor to cause trouble.
There is no need for this kind of executive to become enemies.
Just give him money, it's a good relationship.
Ma Er, who heard Su Jing's words, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Su Jing didn't know their true identities.
"Boss Su, I'm curious, how did you discover us?"
Now that Su Jing has made everything clear, there is no need for him to pretend anymore.
Su Jing said calmly: "Actually, it's very simple. The assessment I set is quite difficult for ordinary people to pass, and the two people who passed it with perfect scores don't look like the bodies that people who come out to live a casual life should have."
Most of the people are poor, their living conditions are poor, and their health is naturally not very good.
Although Su Jing's assessment is a common assessment for modern people, it was a test for ancient people.
"I see, Ma Er has learned a lesson."
Ma Er cupped his hands towards Su Jing and said that he already understood the reason, just because his performance was so good.
It was just a job recruitment, and Su Jing arranged such a backup.
Even Ma Er, who monitors Su Jing on a daily basis, knows that Su Jing is very powerful, but after experiencing it personally, he still admires her very much.
Ma Er?
Su Jing frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking that this was a pseudonym, but thinking about the names chosen by ancient people, it was hard to say.
"Having said that, just tell me how much you two want. Don't worry, I won't ask who is the person behind you, and I won't embarrass you."
Su Jing said lightly, very refreshingly.
He himself is not afraid of any threats, but this papermaking workshop is related to the livelihood of many employees.
There is no need to commit the crime.
At least the other party didn't use force, which meant that we could still have a good conversation.
"Thank you for your understanding, Boss Su. No need, we'll leave now."
Ma Er cupped his hands towards Su Jing and then took Zhang San away.
this.
Su Jing was slightly stunned, a little surprised.
The development of things was somewhat different from what he imagined.
But it's useless to think so much. Anyway, Ma Er doesn't look like someone who would take revenge.
"So be it."
Su Jing shook her head and didn't think about it anymore.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
Li Si asked Ma Er.
They really didn't expect that they would be discovered before they even got through the door.
It's a little impossible to get in now.
But this is Zhu Yuanzhang's task. If he cannot complete it, he will definitely not be able to walk around in circles.
Ma Er was silent for a while and said: "I can only find His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Biao's benevolence is known to the entire court. It's not like they made any unforgivable mistake. It should be possible to ask Zhu Biao for help.
Night falls.
Zhu Biao left through the back door and came to a secret cabin, where Gong Weilang and Zhu Biao reported.
"What do you want from me?"
Zhu Biao asked the people in front of him.
"Your Highness, please help me!"
Ma Er and others knelt down towards Zhu Biao, not necessarily showing respect.
Zhu Biao frowned and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Ma Er immediately described Zhu Yuanzhang's order and their experience of the day, in detail.
"I see, it's you that Master Su is dealing with today."
Zhu Biao came back to his senses.
"Please, His Majesty the Crown Prince, for the sake of the loyalty of your subordinates, please come to our rescue. This time, your Majesty's instructions were given, and I really tried my best."
Ma Er was still kneeling, praying humbly.
Hearing this, Zhu Biao looked at the others and said, "Father, your thinking is too simple. Master Su's wisdom cannot be tested by you. I am not surprised by this result."
Ma Er immediately got off the donkey and said: "What your Highness said is that Mr. Su's wisdom and our ability are really helpless, but we have not exposed His Highness's identity."
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "I can't blame you for this. In this way, if I write a letter and you send it back, you will naturally be safe."
Ma Er and others lost at the hands of his teacher Su Jing, Zhu Biao only took it for granted.
If his father really punished Ma Er and the others for this matter, it would be an unreasonable disaster for them. If Su Jing knew about it in the future, he would definitely blame himself.
Therefore, he is willing to protect these people.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ma Er immediately said respectfully: "Your Highness's life-saving grace will be remembered for the rest of my life."
"Okay, I don't blame you for this in the first place, there is no need to do this."
Zhu Biao waved his hand, then dismissed a few people and quietly returned to the Su Mansion's courtyard.
He lit the oil lamp, found paper and pen, and was about to write a letter when he saw an extra piece of paper on the table with a line of words written on it:
It's cool at night, so go to bed early.
Judging from the handwriting, it is Su Jing's handwriting.
Zhu Biao was stunned immediately. He didn't expect that Su Jing would find him sneaking out.
So have you been exposed?
Zhu Biao immediately became worried, not that his identity would be exposed, but that Su Jing would no longer recognize him as a student.
But looking at the words on the note, he only felt Su Jing's concern.
"Master Su is not someone who will follow me."
Zhu Biao said to himself.
After following Su Jing for a long time, Zhu Biao knew Su Jing's personality very well. If something really happened, Su Jing would definitely ask him directly instead of following him.
Because he is a student and Su Jing is a teacher.
In this case, the possibility of exposure is not much.
But precisely because of this, Zhu Biao felt increasingly guilty.
Su Jing treated him with sincerity, but he hid something from Su Jing.
"I am ashamed of Master Su."
Zhu Biao sighed slightly, thinking only that if there was an opportunity in the future, he would repay Su Jing well.
