Chapter 280 Someone Wants to Hire Lu Sanzhu

Shu Yu stopped instinctively, and then saw a slightly overweight middle-aged man run up to her.

Shu Yu and Lu Sanzhu exchanged a glance, looking at the person in front of them with some confusion. "You are..."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Qi, and this peach grove and that lotus pond are all mine," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Shu Yu suddenly realized that although this peach blossom grove was open to the public and no one was allowed to enter, it did indeed have an owner.

Shu Yu nodded slightly. "So it's Master Qi. What brings you here?"

"That's right, I've already seen what happened just now. Especially this one..." He looked at Lu Sanzhu.

The latter was taken aback and quickly said, "My name is Lu Sanzhu." After saying that, he felt very uneasy. Could it be that he was upset because he fell into the lotus pond and ruined his flowers?

Master Qi laughed and said, "Yes, Brother Lu Sanzhu, you are a very good swimmer. We happen to be short of someone with such good swimming skills to do our work. So we want to hire Brother Lu to work for us."

"Work?" Lu Sanzhu asked incredulously, his eyes wide.

Master Qi nodded, "The main responsibility is to watch over this lotus pond and lend a hand if anything happens. For example, if someone falls into the water, or a guest drops something, or for other tasks, our people will help to retrieve it. Of course, for things that are close by, we can use nets or bamboo poles, and for things that are further away, we can use small boats. There won't be many opportunities to go into the water, but being a good swimmer is still very necessary."

According to the information Master Qi received, Lu Sanzhu is not only good at swimming, but he can also hold his breath underwater for a long time.

Before Shu Yu arrived, Lu Sanzhu had tried to get ashore from the side by swimming underwater. He held his breath for a long time and swam quite a distance, almost succeeding, but the onlookers saw him and shouted, causing him to fail at the last minute.

Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, "Master Qi, you just said that the lotus pond is managed by someone, and that someone would be rescued if they fell into the water. But my third uncle hasn't encountered a single person there..."

"I am truly ashamed of this. There is a person in charge of the lotus pond, but he took advantage of the good weather today to go out drinking, which almost caused a problem."

Actually, the person in charge was right there, and he even witnessed Lu Sanzhu being pushed down. But he was an opportunist who didn't dare offend anyone. Seeing that Lu Sanzhu had no powerful backing and that he wouldn't die, he didn't interfere.

Anyway, once those young masters have vented their anger, this matter will be over.

Not only did he not manage it himself, but he also wouldn't let the workers manage it.

Later, a worker couldn't bear to watch any longer and, with sharp eyes, happened to see Master Qi arrive at the peach blossom grove. He quickly ran over and secretly told him.

“This kind of person has broken our rules and damaged the reputation of my Peach Blossom Grove. Naturally, I will not keep him anymore. Well, I happen to be short of people, so I wanted to ask Brother Lu what he thinks and whether he would be willing to work for me.”

Lu Sanzhu was extremely excited, "I, I, Master Qi wants to hire me as a manager?"

Master Qi, "..."

Shu Yu, "..."

She couldn't help but press her temples and said, "Stop dreaming, okay? Master Qi means that if something happens to the manager, there will naturally be other senior workers to take over. You can take over that worker's position, understand?"
