Chapter 977: The Bookboy Also Has to Do the Test
After Sun Shan gave the paper to Shopkeeper Zhang, he left, saying he would be back in an hour.
I made an appointment with Manager Zhang to come to my house today and had a simple and easy-to-understand chat with him.
My first impression was that he was just average, but as we talked I found that Shopkeeper Zhang was quite capable.
Before becoming the owner of a pawn shop, one has to be a dentist. Besides being eloquent, a dentist must also have vision and be able to see things accurately.
If you make a mistake, the loss can be heavy.
The fact that Manager Zhang has been able to work in the pawn shop for so long proves that he is capable.
Sun Shan thought that if Manager Zhang passed the written test, he would accept him.
After all, no one is perfect. Even if one were, he couldn't afford the price, so he couldn't have both.
Sun Shan was aware of his current situation.
When I walked out of the yard, I saw the fat girl and the black girl babbling, and I didn't know what the two little girls were saying.
When Gui Geer saw Sun Shan coming out, he hurried over and asked, "Brother Shan, how is it? Is it suitable?"
Gui Ge'er was very concerned about everything concerning Sun Shan. Moreover, if Manager Zhang became the legal advisor, he would have to face his servant day and night and spend every day with him.
Gui Ge'er must hope to get along well.
Alas, it’s all Sunjia Village’s fault. Why is there no one suitable to be the legal advisor?
These illiterate people in Sunjia Village are really useless.
The old one is not good, the middle one is not good, and now even the young one is not good.
I heard from the village chief and Shan Ge that few children in the village can go to school, so it seems that Xiao Xiaoshan is the only one who can make a living.
Gui Ge'er quietly stared at Yun Jie'er's belly.
Oh, I don’t know when Xiao Xiaoshan will be born.
He secretly set his eyes on the little fat girl. Oh, how come she is a fat girl? It would be great if she was a fat boy.
Finally, he glanced at the little black girl. Yes, she is a girl with a future.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Manager Zhang is doing his exam papers in the reception room. Please don't go in and disturb him."
Gui Ge'er and Yun Jie'er stared at Sun Shan in dumbfoundedness.
Yun Jieer asked in confusion: "Brother Shan, why is Shopkeeper Zhang preparing papers? Didn't you say you wanted to be a legal advisor?"
This isn't an imperial examination, why are you asking me to do the test paper? It's so unreasonable.
Gui Ge'er also asked in confusion: "Yes, Brother Shan, how come you are preparing the examination papers? Do you have to be able to prepare the examination papers to be a legal advisor?"
Li Jinhua, who was watching the fat girl and the black girl nearby, was even more confused.
But Jinhua is just like Guiger. If they don’t understand, then they don’t understand. As long as Sun Shan understands, then it’s fine. So they just need to follow Sun Shan.
Sun Shan said confidently: "Of course he has to do the test. If he doesn't do the test, how would I know if he has the ability?"
After a pause, he continued, "From now on, whenever you hire someone, you have to do a test."
He glanced at Gui Ge'er meaningfully and said, "Gui Ge'er, you came early, so you didn't do the test paper. When you have time in the future, you should read more books for me. I will give you test papers from time to time to see if you are qualified to be a book boy. If you fail the test, you will be dismissed."
It was like a bolt from the blue! Gui Ge was dumbfounded.
How did the fire burn me?
I didn't mention the assessment before, so why did I start the assessment out of nowhere? This is so unfair.
Gui Ge'er asked hesitantly, "Brother Shan, I, I am just a book boy, and I am not a teacher. Why, why do I have to do the examination papers? This, this, this is not good, right?"
The more I talk, the more guilty I feel, and the more frightened I become.
Since he became Sun Shan's book boy, when Sun Shan read, he read storybooks; when Sun Shan slept, he slept with him.
Sun Shan worked hard on the road to the imperial examination. Gui Ge followed Sun Shan and encouraged him to work hard, and then he looked for storybooks to read for his own amusement.
After finishing reading the storybook, I would go out and play, or just lie down like a salted fish every day.
Gui Ge'er's task is to serve Sun Shan well. These tasks are not difficult and can be completed easily.
Sun Shan was seldom in a bad mood. Even if he was, Gui Ge'er would just ignore what he heard.
Anyway, Sun Shan would not fire him. Although the salary was not paid on time, Gui Ge'er was not like those young masters who went out to play. He just lay there like a salted fish and lived a happy life.
When he grew up, the Sun family took care of everything for him. He had a house, a wife, and a daughter.
The rest of the matter can only beg Sun Shan to be powerful enough to give birth to a few little Shans, so that his little Gui can become a servant, and the family will become a family of servants.
Today, Sun Shan actually told him that he would have to take an assessment to be a book boy, and if he failed, he would be fired. Isn't this destroying his iron rice bowl?
Gui Ge'er must not let these things happen.
He said hurriedly: "Brother Shan, I, I am a good book boy. If you fire me, you will, you will miss the treasure."
This must be said with guilt, without any confidence at all.
Sun Shan said with a smile: "Not only you will be assessed, but also Brother Nan, Dalishu, and even Butler Wang. Anyone who fails to meet the assessment requirements will be transferred and will not be able to continue working in the original position."
He paused, looked at the fat girl and the black girl and said, "When the two girls grow up, they can do the examination papers and be carefully assessed. If they fail to meet the requirements, they will be beaten with sticks."
Sister Yun, Li Jinhua was dumbfounded.
How come Sun Shan doesn't even let the little kids go? It's ok for the boys, but he also makes the girls take tests.
This, this is totally wrong.
The two little sisters, Little Fatty and Little Blackie, were still leaning against each other, chatting in babbling voices.
They had no idea that Sun Shan would "torture" them in the future, and at this moment they lived a life as happy as pigs.
An hour later, Sun Shan asked Gui Ge'er to check whether Manager Zhang had finished the paper.
Gui Ge'er really didn't want to go. At this moment, he was thinking that he also had to do the test. The pain spread from the soles of his feet to his head. He was very anxious and afraid that he would fail the test and be driven away by Sun Shan.
However, Sun Shan said that if he did not follow the instructions, he would be fired, so Gui Ge'er hurried over to see what was going on.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the test paper bitterly. It seemed like he had learned a lot of the contents before, but he had been away from the books for so long that he had long forgotten them.
Apart from some math questions and case-judgment questions, I just filled in the rest according to my memory.
Gui Ge'er knocked on the door and asked, "Manager Zhang, have you finished? The time is up, I'm here to collect the papers."
Doing is not finished.
But the time was up and I couldn't think of the answer no matter how hard I tried, so I had to hand over the paper.
He said to Gui Ge'er, "Here is the test paper. Please give it to Master Sun."
Gui Ge'er smiled, took the paper and quickly looked at a few questions.
Ouch, I can’t understand many of the questions. Why are they so difficult?
Will his scribe's test paper be that difficult?
No, I must find a way to keep my position as a book boy.
Gui Ge'er decides to go the "Madam" route and asks Jinhua to ask Yun Saozi what type of book boy's paper Shan Ge is going to give.
Once you know the test questions, look at the book and try to do them first. If you can't do them, spend money to find help.
You must hand in a qualified paper to keep your position as a book boy.
