Chapter 67
When they were filling out the job application card just now, the housekeeper did say something like first come, first served, so they took Lu Jiamu's words seriously.
In addition, since Lu Jiamu had selflessly shared his experiences, they all had more trust in Lu Jiamu, and several of them were eager to try.
After the butler came out, he said to Coleman, "Although I am not satisfied with your professionalism, I believe you have learned a lot from the practice just now, and you will have the opportunity to learn more in the future."
It originally wanted to call Wei Xiaoyan first, but after receiving the reminder, the other applicants there were all worried that others would pass the interview first, causing them to be eliminated.
An applicant who had not yet filled out his job application card raised his hand anxiously: "Mr. Butler, I have already thought about the position I want to apply for. Can I modify my job application card?"
As soon as he said this, someone was afraid that he would seize the initiative, so he hurriedly followed up and said, "Mr. Butler, I've thought about it too! I want to change it too!"
The butler's fingers twitched for a moment, and he stopped calling for help.
Obviously, although it is extremely interested in eliminating the most promising survivors first, it is more interested in the promising competition of the current applicants.
If it had facial features, Lu Jiamu guessed that it would have a big, malicious smile on its face.
"Sure." The butler moved his fingers, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then asked enthusiastically, "What position do you want to apply for?"
One of them brightened up and immediately raised his hand: "Chef!"
The applicant's behavior obviously catered to the butler's taste, so the butler temporarily gave up and called Wei Xiaoyan first.
It flipped the card in its hand and said in a tone that seemed to be half-smiley: "Come in for the interview first."
The applicant didn't expect the butler to be so easy to talk to. He excitedly trotted behind the butler into the house.
The butler sat down, asked him to sit down, and then took out his job application card: "Since you didn't write down your strengths and advantages in advance, please introduce yourself first."
The applicant immediately and quickly mentioned that he was an expert in cooking, and he started boasting nonstop.
The butler's face was featureless and emotionless. He listened to the whole thing in silence and crossed his hands in front of him: "From your description, I can see that you are an excellent chef. But if you want to become the chef of the Batti family, you must show enough strength."
"Now, please prepare a meal that my little master will like to eat on the spot."
The applicant was stunned for a moment, and looked around at the conference room with only a few stacks of papers. "Onsite? But there are no ingredients or kitchen utensils here?"
"So, you can't complete this task now?" The butler became more and more happy. "If you want to be a servant of the Batti family, you can never say no. You are eliminated."
"What? No!"
He wanted to change his words, but was slammed onto the ceiling by a force that appeared out of nowhere.
He didn't have as strong a physique as Coleman, and was knocked unconscious. He also didn't have a test paper that he could use to try and correct his answers.
In the last moment before he was swallowed by the ceiling, he saw the paper-made butler with a paste-covered face, his hands clasped, looking up at him.
…
Outside the small meeting room, one of the applicants hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and walked towards Kou Man, revealing a shy smile: "Sister..."
Coleman turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
When the girl was filling out her job application card, she saw that she couldn't compete with others and was about to give up and wait for death. But unexpectedly, she managed to survive and got a new opportunity, which made her desire to live again, and she bravely wanted to inquire about the situation.
The girl spoke softly and carefully, "Sister, I just saw that you have been accepted as the assistant housekeeper. The assistant housekeeper should be the one who knows the new family best among the several positions. I would like to ask if you have any new information you are willing to share with me?"
When Coleman first came to the interview, he had already quickly answered more than fifty questions on the verge of life and death. He still remembers it vividly, and of course he knows Battie very well.
So she asked, "What position do you want to apply for?"
The girl replied a little shyly: "I originally wanted to apply for the job of chef... Before I entered the restricted area, my family was doing this business. But someone else got there first."
"But he hasn't succeeded yet." Coleman comforted her, "I know Barty likes meat the most."
Kouman and Lu Jiamu had already completed the interview, and the other three did not want to apply for the chef position, so there was no competition between them.
Coleman thought about it and introduced the Batti family's dining habits again.
The girl got so much information and gained a lot of confidence. She nodded and said, "Thank you."
It didn't take long for the butler to come out of the small conference room, but this time he was alone.
Everyone understood: someone had failed again.
"What a shame, we lost another applicant."
It said it was a pity, but its tone was full of gloating and joy.
The girl didn't wait for others to give her a hint, because she was afraid that someone else would take her place, so she took the initiative to raise her hand and said, "Mr. Butler, I have also decided what job I want to apply for!"
The housekeeper paused, hesitating between choosing Wei Xiaoyan according to the previous order and embarrassing this eager and hopeful applicant, and finally chose the energetic girl: "What do you want to apply for?"
"chef!"
"Okay." The butler nodded, "Please come with me."
After entering the small conference room, the housekeeper asked her to introduce herself as before.
When it came to the bragging part, the girl was not as shameless as the previous few people. She blushed and timidly said that her family used to be in this business, and she had been influenced by it since she was a child and had already mastered quite good cooking skills.
The housekeeper nodded after listening to her, praised her a few words, and then made the same request as before: "If you want to become the chef of the Batti family, you must show enough strength. Now, please prepare a meal that my little master likes on the spot."
What? The girl looked around the empty small meeting room with only a few pieces of paper in confusion.
How to cook here without kitchen utensils or ingredients?
The girl didn’t know whether the candidate who was just eliminated was also given the same requirement and was eliminated because he did not complete it.
She didn't dare to refuse, and smiled fearfully: "Okay, no problem..."
After agreeing first, she licked her lips nervously, looking around while thinking, trying to find a clue to solve the problem.
There is really no place to hide food in this room.
Make a meal for its little owner that she likes... a meal that she likes...
What does Batty like to eat? Oh, that sister outside just said that she likes meat!
The girl immediately asked, "Mr. Butler, can I leave this room and go prepare the ingredients?"
The butler shook his head: "No. This is just an interview between us."
The girl trembled as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small knife, which she had prepared before entering the restricted area.
The answer to the housekeeper's request was already obvious, but she...she didn't have much meat on her body.
She couldn't hurt her legs, as this would affect her speed of escape. She had to stop bleeding at the end of her limbs, away from large blood vessels...
Amidst a suppressed whimper of pain, the butler sighed softly and said somewhat disappointedly: "Congratulations, this is indeed my little master's favorite food. You have successfully proved your excellent cooking skills."
The girl cried and laughed at the same time, and used clothes to cover the wound on her arm with tears streaming down her face.
When the housekeeper brought her out, Coleman saw that she was shaking all over and immediately went over to support her.
The interview was already completed, and she was no longer in competition with the others, so she spoke openly about her experience.
The other applicants were frightened by the tragic scene and cautiously kept silent for the time being, wanting to observe the situation for a while longer.
Seeing that no one else was rushing to answer, Wang Biao was about to call on Wei Xiaoyan, who had no special abilities. He immediately raised his hand and said, "Mr. Butler, I am very worried that someone will compete with me for the position, so I request an interview first."
The butler did not speak immediately, as if hesitating.
But in the end, it is Wang Biao's enthusiasm that hits the interesting point.
Wouldn't it be more fun to hit on such a hopeful and motivated candidate?
So it nodded: "Okay, please come with me."
The housekeeper called Wang Biao in and read out his self-introduction in the same formal manner as before: "I have experience in military service and became the captain of the security team after retiring. I have rich experience in security and have a spirit of selfless dedication."
Wang Biao nodded: "Yes."
"That sounds very professional." The butler praised him and said, "But if you want to be Batistuta's bodyguard, you need to prove in advance that you have enough ability to withstand blows."
This is not difficult for Wang Biao.
He immediately agreed: "Okay."
Wang Biao was eager to prove himself, but seeing that the housekeeper had no intention of taking action, he stood up and rushed towards the wall, making a loud "bang" and almost breaking through the wall.
Seeing such a talented person, the butler crossed his hands and said with some disappointment: "You have indeed proved that you have enough ability to withstand blows."
At this time, outside the meeting room, everyone was a little at a loss as they heard the "bang bang bang" sound of things hitting the wall.
But such a loud noise lasted for so long, which meant that the people inside were still alive. Based on the experience of the previous few times, it was very likely that success was about to come.
At this time, there were still ten people outside the meeting room. Excluding the three who had already succeeded, there were seven people left competing for five positions, and someone was bound to be eliminated.
Lu Jiamu pinched his chin and said, "They may be conducting a blow resistance test inside. It seems that the interview is related to the position. As long as you don't choose a position that is too difficult, you can always find a way out. If you don't refuse the housekeeper's request, your chances of passing are still very high."
He smiled and looked at the applicants: "What position are you applying for?"
The few people over there didn't speak immediately, but they all had grudges against each other, and began to worry that others would not fail directly, but would take up a seat instead.
Being a personal servant does sound like a... not very difficult position that doesn't require much violence. Maybe it's not that difficult?
Everyone can see that Lu Jiamu and his group are in the same group, and now they have successfully occupied the position of deputy housekeeper. As a position that can temporarily replace the housekeeper's functions, although it is dangerous, it will definitely allow you to grasp more information and have higher authority.
Unless it is necessary, no one wants to grab the position they have already reserved in advance, as this may lead to deliberate targeting in the future, resulting in a lower survival rate.
So now there are five people competing for three personal servant positions, and applying first may indeed have an advantage.
They were caught in a struggle over whether to sit and wait to die or to try again.
When the butler led Wang Biao out of the meeting room, an applicant immediately became nervous because he saw another person passed. He decided to take the initiative and raised his hands to answer: "Mr. Butler! I have also decided what I want to apply for!"
