Chapter 123 Upon seeing the list of selected candidates, Young Master Ting was shocked.
Upon hearing the second question, Kong Wange covered her forehead with her hand, unable to bear to look.
Even with her thick skin, she couldn't help but blush a little.
However, Lin Cheng continued excitedly as if nothing had happened: "Young Madam, I must remind you that you have one opportunity to ask for help outside the room during this quiz. If you find the question too difficult, you can choose to ask for help outside the room."
Kong Wange: "..."
There was only one thought in her mind: Help, please let me go.
Seeing that she didn't react, Lin Cheng raised his voice to keep the atmosphere from getting awkward, and continued to say to himself, "Okay, I can see that you're stumped by this question, Madam. Well then, let me, your special assistant Lin, help you out. Just a quick reminder, the patient you're taking care of this time is a man."
Kong Wange stared at the photos of five women and one man in front of her, speechless for a moment.
Inexplicably, a famous quote by Wang Sulong came to mind: "Why don't you just tell her directly?"
She took a deep breath, enduring immense humiliation, and shakily picked up the old man's photograph.
"Aha, congratulations, young mistress, you got it right again!" Lin Cheng's joyful encouraging voice rang in her ears.
The joy belonged to them; Kong Wange only found it jarring.
The worst part was that my son was working incredibly hard next to me, clapping his little hands loudly for every question he answered correctly.
"Is there a third question?" After a moment, Kong Wange asked weakly.
Lin Cheng glanced at Murong Chen: "As for the third question, is it... or not?"
Murong Chen continued, "I'll answer the third question. Mommy, what kind of person did Great-Grandpa like the most?"
After Murong Chen finished speaking, he waited eagerly for her answer.
Unexpectedly, Kong Wange remained silent.
How could she know what kind of person the old man liked?
Murong Chen waited for a long time and realized that his mother hadn't said anything, so he felt something was wrong.
Could it be that Mommy doesn't know the answer?
The answer is simple: of course, Great-Grandpa likes Mommy the most.
Aside from grumpy dads, who in the world doesn't love their mom?
His intelligent, round eyes were fixed on Kong Wange, his little face full of encouragement. "Mommy, is that what you think? Tell me quickly!"
Kong Wange thought for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "I won't..."
"Young Madam, you're right!" Lin Cheng interrupted her when he saw things were getting out of hand.
Kong Wange stood frozen in place.
"What?"
"Oh, young mistress, your silence for so long is the best answer. The old master likes people like you who are not arrogant or impatient, but quiet and peaceful!"
Kong Wange: "...Can it be like this?"
Lin Cheng, you must be a genius at writing argumentative essays for the college entrance examination. You can even twist such outrageous evidence back into your thesis.
Beside him, Kong Chi clapped his hands and said, "That's right, Uncle Lin Cheng, tell the people behind that they don't need to come in for an interview anymore. The chosen medicinal cuisine chef has already been selected!"
After saying that, he routinely addressed the other servants maintaining order in the room, asking, "Do you have any objections to the fairness and impartiality of this interview?"
Everyone: "Young Master is wise, there is no objection."
Murong Chen nodded his little head in satisfaction: "Alright, everyone go down now. Each of you go to Uncle Xu's place and collect 10,000 yuan as hush money, ah, no, I mean, a bonus~"
"Yes, thank you, young master."
Several people went out.
Lin Cheng also walked towards the door. As he passed Kong Wange, he suddenly clenched his fist and cheered her on: "Go for it, young mistress! For my financial freedom, go for it! I believe in you!"
Kong Wange: "..."
After Lin Cheng left, Murong Chen jumped down from his seat and said happily, "Mommy, wasn't I great?"
Kong Wange gave a half-hearted thumbs up: "Chenbao is absolutely fantastic!"
"Hehe, Mommy, you're amazing too! So many people applied, but you were the only one chosen. We're a perfect mother and son, that's great! Now I can see Mommy every day again."
Kong Wange sighed, "Alright, so this interview was all your idea, wasn't it?"
Murong Chen chuckled, tacitly agreeing, and stepped forward to take her arm: "Come on, Mommy, let's go see Great-Grandpa together!"
Kong Wange asked in confusion, "Is that all? Doesn't your dad need to interview you?"
Murong Chen smiled mysteriously: "No need, Mommy, don't worry, I've arranged everything."
"All right."
Kong Wange was dragged out of the interview room by her son.
...
After Lin Cheng left, he took a stack of documents and went to find Murong Ting.
Pushing open the door, he said cheerfully, "Young Master Ting, the outstanding medicinal cuisine chefs have been selected. Would you like to take a look?"
Murong Ting sat at the large desk, and upon hearing this, he looked up from the computer screen and asked, "Who did you choose? Bring them in."
Lin Cheng smiled and handed the documents to Murong Ting: "Don't rush, take a look at these documents first. These are the documents of all the candidates who have entered the second round of interviews today. The person who will ultimately win this position is at the very end."
Murong Ting took the documents, then, remembering something, asked as he flipped through them, "How's Xiao Chen doing at school lately? Has he caused any trouble?"
Lin Cheng paused slightly upon hearing this, then gave a formulaic, fake smile: "No, young master behaved very well, he even did a heroic deed, but..."
He paused slightly.
Murong Ting raised his eyes: "Speak."
"That teacher at the young master's kindergarten is quite snobbish," Lin Cheng told Murong Ting everything he knew: "On the first day of school, the young master was wrongly accused of skipping morning exercises. The discipline director didn't know, but the homeroom teacher should have. As a result, the homeroom teacher made the young master stand as punishment without even asking what happened."
"Yesterday, the young master came back looking travel-worn. I asked him on the way, and he said it was because he saw some boys bullying a little girl and stood up for her. But their homeroom teacher didn't ask for the reason and insisted that the young master was fighting. He grabbed his ear and scolded him, saying that the young master was a wild child without a mother's upbringing."
Murong Ting's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said in a chilling voice, "Does someone like that deserve to be a teacher!"
Lin Cheng touched his nose: "Who says otherwise?"
Murong Ting paused for a moment, then asked, "How many people did this kid fight with? Did he get beaten up?"
Upon hearing that Young Master Ting was worried about the young master, Lin Cheng quickly shook his head: "There were only three or four people, and they weren't beaten up."
Murong Ting's emotions had calmed down considerably, and his voice couldn't hide his pride: "That's more like it. This is my son, Murong Ting. But I thought this brat would only be a bully at home. I didn't expect him to be so fierce outside as well."
Lin Cheng explained, "Because there were two tigers, that little girl Kong Ran went to help. They fought two against four and beat the four of them to a pulp. Of course, I heard that the real battle was that Miss Kong Ran fought three and a half against one."
Murong Ting was unconvinced. He wasn't good at studying, and he couldn't even beat Kong Wange's daughter in a fight.
He asked coldly, "Kong Ran? Why isn't she with Kong Wange? What is she doing at Xiao Chen's kindergarten?"
