Chapter 724: Whoever Hires Him Is an Idiot
Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong paused and turned to look at him.

The young man tugged at his fingers. “I-I’ll just tell the truth.”

“I’d like to hear the details.”

The young man gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “I, although I’m an Elementary Scholar, I’m not good with words. Previously, I did want to go over and be a teacher, but I couldn’t speak the moment I met a student. In the end, I could only give up. Later on, I went to the shops in the county city and thought of being a bookkeeper, but the salary given by those shops was too little. Then, I heard that the Gu family’s workshop has good benefits and can even cover accommodation, so I wanted to come over and give it a try. Although I’m not very good at talking, my title as an Elementary Scholar is real. Don’t worry about this.”

Gu Yundong lowered her eyes as she listened. When the young man was done, she nodded slightly. “Yes, I understand. You can go back.”

“What, what do you mean?”

“Our workshop doesn’t intend to hire you.”

The young man panicked. “Why? I’m an Elementary Scholar.”

Gu Yundong found it funny. So what if he was an Elementary Scholar? Could it be that the title of an Elementary Scholar was a pass? Then why did he have to come to a small workshop like hers when he could not find work elsewhere?

“Because you’re not the type of accountant I want?”

“What type of accountant do you need?”

Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes and glanced at the young man before turning to leave.

The young man was indignant. “Miss, can you make yourself clear?”

This time, Tong An no longer had any worries. He directly called out to Tong Shuitao and asked her to carry the woman who wanted to sit on the ground and cry out. He also dragged the young man out of the Gu family.

There were still people watching the commotion at the entrance of the Gu residence. When they saw that the mother and son had been chased out, they quickly pointed at them.

The woman was thick-skinned, but the young man could not take it. Although he was unwilling, he still fled a moment later.

Tong An sneered and then ran to look for Gu Yundong.

He was also a little puzzled. “Miss, why didn’t you hire that young man?” Tong An didn’t agree because the young man’s gaze was very disdainful when he spoke to him.

No matter how amiable he appeared, his arrogance was still extremely uncomfortable.

Most of the long-term workers in the Gu Family’s workshop were farmers. If this Elementary Scholar continued to have such an attitude, he would probably cause a huge conflict with the people in the workshop. Tong An did not plan to hire this young man because of this consideration.

However, when the young man saw the young lady, he was very humble and had a good attitude. He completely looked like he was following the young lady.

However, Miss still chased him out without hesitation.

Gu Yundong said as she fed Big Black, “Because I gave that young man two chances, and he was lying. He was not likable to begin with, and he even had a mother who was a burden. In the end, he was full of lies. Whoever hires him will be a fool.”

“Lies?”

Gu Yundong left the house and said to Tong An, “He’s an Elementary Scholar. He’s so young, which means that he has a bright future ahead of him. There are many wealthy families in our county. There must be some shrewd rich masters who are interested in his future and are more or less willing to bet on him. Even if he doesn’t, if he goes to a shop to find work, there will be owners who are willing to hire him as a accountant. Although five taels of silver a month is a lot, it’s really too much. Moreover, there’s still room for bargaining. I don’t believe that he won’t be able to find a job like this.”

Tong An was enlightened. “Then why did he come to our workshop…”

“I don’t know if there’s something wrong with him or if he has other motives.” Gu Yundong sighed faintly. There was no choice. The tallest tree attracts the wind. Who asked her shop to be too popular? Even with Qin Wenzheng’s protection, there were always people who wanted to find out.

For example, the Xin Residence.

“Go back and ask around.”

“Yes.” Tong An’s entire body trembled, and he instantly felt that he had a heavy responsibility.

“Let’s go. Bring me to the workshop first and tell me what happened at home during this period of time.”
