Looking for the groom (2)
Qin Man said, "I can only understand some basic information. For example, I can tell if he's hungry. If he's been bitten by a mosquito, he'll scratch it himself, and I can tell where he's been bitten."
However, if he's thinking complicated thoughts, like 'This man looks kind on the outside but is evil on the inside' or 'I don't want scrambled eggs today, I want stewed eggs,' I can't just read those thoughts directly.
After all, I can't read minds.
Jian Tanxi said, "That's true... There are many ideas that need to be spoken out so that others can know them. In any case, let Xiaochen try it first."
Sun Lianhu leaned closer: "Which one do you want to choose? I choose number 3."
Although Qin Man and Jian Tanxi both dislike Sun Lianhu, they have to cooperate with him in this game.
Therefore, they suppressed their displeasure and decided to discuss a solution with Sun Lianhu first.
Qin Man said, "This game is only three hours long, and we can't spend more than two hours observing inside. That way, we can still have some time to discuss. My son can't speak, so he has to stay inside for the full two hours. Then the three of us adults can discuss things first."
Furthermore, we must truthfully state the facts we observe; we cannot conceal or deceive. This is a cooperative game; if we cannot complete it, no one can leave.
After speaking, Qin Man looked at Sun Lianhu.
Sun Lianhu said to Qin Man, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you afraid I'll lie to you? I'm a genius selected by aliens, so naturally I know how to pass the game. Don't worry, I'll definitely tell the truth in this game."
In short, I choose number 3, and none of you are allowed to take it from me.
As he spoke, Sun Lianhu placed his hand on paper number 3. Immediately, paper number 3 emitted a strong light, enveloping Sun Lianhu.
A few seconds later, Sun Lianhu disappeared.
Jian Tanxi said, "Sun Lianhu chose number 3 first because number 3 is the most likely to meet the criteria. Number 3 is an aristocrat, and there are no problems with his appearance, demeanor, assets, or class. The only possible problem is that he can't cook. However, it's just our speculation that number 3 can't cook. Maybe he wears gloves when he cooks, so his fingers aren't rough."
Moreover, even if Sun Lianhu discovers that Number 3 can't cook after he goes in, he can find a way to teach her. Although cooking can't be learned quickly, it makes it clear that Number 3 can continue learning to cook after marriage.
Therefore, if number 3 is chosen as the groom, Sun Lianhu's contribution will be the greatest.
Qin Man nodded and said, "Yes, I saw that too. Sun Lianhu is an egoist, but he also has a high IQ, so he can quickly choose the path that is most beneficial to him. Tanxi, which number do you choose?"
"I want to choose number 5. Although number 5 is wearing a chef's uniform, it doesn't mean he is a chef. He might just enjoy cooking. I'll go in and see what his true identity is. If he's from the elite class, that would be even better."
Qin Man said, "Then I'll choose number 6. Number 6 looks good in every way, except that his neck is tilted forward a bit. If I can improve his posture within 2 hours, then his weakness will be gone."
As soon as Qin Man finished speaking, Qu Chen reached out and touched the number 6 sheet of paper.
Qin Man and Jian Tanxi tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Soon, Qu Chen was sucked into the No. 6 sheet of paper.
Qin Man was a little worried, but time was of the essence, so she could only say, "Then I'll choose number 2. Number 2 seems to have a bad temper, but maybe he's just in a bad mood during the photoshoot. I'll go in and see. If he really is always throwing tantrums, I'll try to find a way to change his temper, and maybe I can pass the test."
Jian Tanxi nodded, and without saying a word, touched the No. 5 sheet of paper.
Qin Man touched paper number 2.
After a bout of dizziness, Jian Tanxi arrived at a restaurant.
In the kitchen, a chef was busy cooking. He was candidate number 5, and the others called him Steve.
Jian Tanxi's body is transparent; no one else can see her.
These people were communicating in English, but their words automatically translated into Mandarin when they reached Jian Tanxi's ears.
Because Jian Tanxi's English is very good, she can translate English into Chinese in a second.
This game requires a high level of skill from players. If a player who isn't well-educated enters the game, they probably won't even be able to understand what these people are saying.
A waiter who was washing dishes walked into the kitchen and said to Steve, "Steve, several tables of customers are asking for their food. Could you combine some dishes and cook them together?"
While Steve was busy working, he said, "I've combined all the dishes that could be combined. Tell the guests to wait a bit."
"Okay, don't forget to make it delicious; many people come because of your reputation."
Steve said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure the food is quick and good."
Just then, another waiter rushed into the kitchen to serve the dishes, but accidentally bumped into Steve.
Steve lost his balance and bumped into his pot. As a result, the entire pot tilted, and the food inside fell to the ground.
The waiter kept apologizing: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Steve said, "It's okay, I'll just make another one."
"But what if it causes you to get complaints from customers..."
"It's okay. Even if they complain that I'm slow to serve food, they'll still come back next time, since I'm a good cook. Besides, they might not even complain."
Steve picked up a broom to sweep up the food, but the waiter quickly took the broom and started sweeping, allowing Steve to focus on cooking.
Jian Tanxi observed from the side and thought that Steve not only cooked well, but also had a very good temper. These two conditions met Miss Jenny's requirements.
However, Steve wasn't exactly handsome. Also, due to years of cooking, he was a bit hunchbacked, had thick arms, and was rather stocky.
However, if he meets all other requirements, perhaps Miss Jenny would be willing to tolerate this minor flaw.
Next, we need to find out whether Steve's main job is actually a chef, as well as his age and marital status.
Jian Tanxi leaned closer to take a look. Steve was wearing a name tag, but it only showed Steve's name and his position: Senior Chef.
Since his age wasn't listed, it seems we'll have to find another way to find out.
Jian Tanxi walked to other parts of the restaurant.
She saw a room, which was the finance office, and went inside.
Two employees were chatting in the office, and there were several papers on the table with this month's pay stubs written on them.
Jian Tanxi wanted to see how much Steve was paid, but she felt that directly looking at the payslip might attract the attention of the employees.
She came up with an idea and blew hard on one corner of the payslip.
The first page of the payslip was blown away, revealing the second page.
The first page is the cover, and the second page is the employee payslip.
Jian Tanxi glanced at it quickly; Steve's monthly salary was $8,000. That was already considered a high salary, and there should be bonuses and dividends during holidays.
So, in terms of assets, it barely meets Miss Jenny's requirements.
However, Miss Jenny might want the kind of old money, not someone with no family wealth who lives on a salary.
However, Jian Tanxi didn't know whether Steve had any family wealth or not.
Perhaps he also has a large sum of money in savings.
The pay slips were blown about without attracting the employees' attention; they assumed it was just the wind.
At this point, the two employees started talking about Steve:
"Steve is 32 years old, why isn't he married yet?"
"I don't know. I heard that he has high standards. He wants a great beauty, under 30 years old, with a gentle and good temper, and she has to be hardworking and good at housework. In short, he has a lot of requirements. So, he hasn't found a suitable one yet."
“If I were a few years younger, Steve would be a really good choice. I’ve never seen him lose his temper, and living with him would be wonderful.”
Then, the two employees talked about other topics.
Listening to their words, Jian Tanxi felt both happy and worried.
Fortunately, Steve is 32 years old, which meets Miss Jenny's requirements.
The worry is that Steve also has his own criteria for choosing a partner, and Miss Jenny does not meet his requirements.
Miss Jenny wouldn't pass the age test alone.
Moreover, Miss Jenny is capable of hitting people when she gets angry, which doesn't fit the description of her as having a gentle and good temper.
Even if Jian Tanxi persuades Miss Jenny to choose Steve (number 5), Steve might not be willing to marry Miss Jenny, which would be troublesome.
Marriage is not easy; everyone is involved in a two-way selection process.
However, the rules of the game only state that a suitable husband must be chosen for Miss Jenny, without specifying that the husband must be interested in Miss Jenny.
In that case, my worries seem unnecessary.
Anyway, all I need to do is complete the game objectives.
But at this moment, Jian Tanxi is unaware of Steve's other circumstances.
She didn't know how to figure out Steve's full situation in such a short time.
What if he had a brief marriage before? What if he has children? What if he has some unknown flaws?
At that moment, the two employees went to the restroom.
Jian Tanxi discovered that there was internet access here.
Two employees had their phones on the table, still playing short videos.
Jian Tanxi suddenly had an idea.
She used one of her phones to order from this restaurant, choosing a relatively far address, and requested delivery at 9 PM.
After successfully placing the order, she switched her phone back to the short video interface and ran to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Steve was still cooking.
A waiter came in and said, "Steve, a customer just placed an order for 9 PM. The food needs to be ready around 8 PM because it's a long distance and delivery will take an hour. Can you handle it?"
Steve said, "No problem, I'm here all day anyway, I don't get off work until 10 p.m. Show me the form."
Jian Tanxi understood; Steve's main profession was cooking.
If he had other jobs, he wouldn't spend the whole day at the restaurant without going to work elsewhere.
Therefore, it's unlikely that the job of a chef would satisfy Miss Jenny.
In addition, his appearance is not outstanding, so he may not be the groom Miss Jenny wants.
Jian Tanxi was a little worried because she could only eliminate one wrong option and still didn't know what the correct option was.
