A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 126 Interview
When Cao Zhihua woke up in the morning, he looked at the ground, where several pairs of torn stockings on the bed were scattered everywhere, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

It seems that I have really been holding back on the dress of this era for too long. When I got excited last night, I couldn't stop tearing it up.

Seeing the two women who were too tired to wake up, Cao Zhihua got up and washed up, then went downstairs to practice boxing.

After practicing boxing, Cao Zhihua was looking at the shoreline of Repulse Bay on the front terrace, thinking about something on his mind.

Sometimes it's really not that Cao Zhihua is wary, it's just that after Cao Zhihua came to Hong Kong Island, although he didn't lack anything, he really felt insecure in a new and unfamiliar environment.

After all, it is not unreasonable to say that poverty breeds treachery and wealth breeds conscience.

This is Hong Kong Island, not the country. This is a capitalist country. There are many people at the bottom of Hong Kong Island who work hard all day long to make a living, and there are also many people who do all kinds of evil for money, so it is really impossible not to be more careful.

After breakfast, Cao Zhihua and the two girls rested in the living room.

It didn't take long for the phone in the living room to start ringing, and then it didn't stop. Xiaoyu was a little confused at first, but after working for a while, she gradually straightened it out and started to do it with ease.

After Cao Zhihua saw Xiaoyu getting started, he walked out of the living room and asked his two younger brothers to move a beach chair and coffee table to the swimming pool. It was quite comfortable to enjoy the Pacific breeze, bask in the sun, drink a cup of black tea, and eat some fruit.

Not long after, Lou Xiao'e came over, lay on Cao Zhihua's body, and asked nervously:

"Zhihua, what should I do? I haven't had an interview before, so I'm a little nervous."

Cao Zhihua rolled his eyes, hugged Lou Xiao'e with both hands, and said:

"What's so important about this? It's you who decides whether to use them or not, and it's not others who decide whether to use you or not."

"But I don't know how to choose. I don't have experience, so I don't know who to use."

"What's so difficult about this? If you want to choose a maid, you just have to be of the right age, in good health, and have quick hands and feet."

Seeing Cao Zhihua's perfunctory attitude, Lou Xiao'e became a little angry and said:
"Smelly Zhihua, let me tell you seriously, if you choose this way, then not everyone can do it?"

Cao Zhihua saw that Lou Xiao'e was a little anxious, so he helped Lou Xiao'e up, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said:
"We can't judge who is good or bad through a short conversation. We can only select the 20 people with the best image among this group of people."

"Why do you choose so many? And you should choose one with a good image."

"We have 12 rooms, Lou En lives in one, the cook lives in another, and there are 10 other rooms. Two people live in one room, so we can choose 20. We will observe for another month to select the truly outstanding ones. 10 maids, that’s it.”

Lou Xiao'e understood and continued to ask:
"Do you have any bad intentions? Why did you choose someone with a good image?"

Although Cao Zhihua had certain ideas that needed to be tested, he would not admit it to death, so he quickly said:

“We are not familiar with the place here, and we don’t know who is the right candidate.

Now that we are selecting maids on a large scale, we must select the best ones, so why should we select the worst ones to keep at home?
After all, the image of a maid best reflects the image of the family. If guests come to our house in the future, she can also help you gain face, right?
Otherwise, when people come to visit our house and see that everyone in our family is crooked and lame, then it’s not one of our own who is being thrown away, right? " Lou Xiao'e frowned and thought. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out clearly. She felt that what Zhihua said made sense. It's impossible to choose a good one instead of a bad one, right?
So Lou Xiao'e got off Cao Zhihua's lap glumly, and slowly walked to the living room to discuss with Chen Xueru.

At about 1 p.m., people from the Cao family finally came over for interviews one after another.

Because girls over the age of 16 were rejected from Lou En's place, Cao Zhihua and the two women were very fast in this interview.

Basically, after asking about the family situation and education, and then taking a closer look at the girl's facial features, I gave a score that ABC has rejected based on my own judgment.

First, the girls are relatively young, and many of them are sent for interviews by their mothers or fathers.

Second, the girls who come for interviews in this era don’t have that much thought. They basically come here to make some money and eat well, so many of the girls who come for interviews are mostly skinny, sallow and skinny little girls who cannot be raised well for a few years. Basically not enough.

Third, these girls don’t have any good clothes to wear. Girls are just like that. If they don’t dress up well, no matter how beautiful they are, they will only be buried.

Therefore, Cao Zhihua can only decide the score based on whether the facial features are good-looking and whether he likes it.As for things like body shape and skin, I can only say that everyone is about the same. The bigger one will have a higher score, and the flat one will not matter. Once the nutrition catches up in the future, these can all grow slowly. As for whether it will grow crookedly, There is no guarantee for this Cao Zhihua.

There are quite a few chefs who come here to interview, and the interviews are simple. The chefs who come for the interview are asked to cook on the spot, and then the whole family tries it and gives their own ratings.

As for the interview of the housekeeper, this is more important. It is entirely conducted by Cao Zhihua. Cao Zhihua spent a lot of time on each interviewer to test the personality, ability and temperament of each interviewer based on some problems in the workplace in his previous life.

After a 7-day interview.

Cao Zhihua synthesized all the scoring information and found three suitable steward candidates.

One is Liu Yuanyuan, a 28-year-old native of Hong Kong Island. He was a housekeeper who served a white-skinned nobleman before. His ability and temperament were quite good. Now Baipi has returned to his hometown and is on standby. However, Cao Zhihua thinks this person is a bit old-fashioned. Quite a bit.

One is Wang Lijia, a 29-year-old from Shanghai. She was a maid raised by the Wang family in Shanghai. She helped the young master of the Wang family as housekeeper when she was 18 years old, and came to Hong Kong with the Wang family. After arriving in Hong Kong, the young master of the Wang family was a prostitute and gambler. She was tricked and the family was completely ruined. After being defeated, she had no choice but to go out and find a way to survive.She has good abilities and character, but what makes Cao Zhihua a little hesitant is that this woman has too deep feelings for the Wang family and is worried about whether this person will cheat on her.

Another one is a 25-year-old mother, Sang Chenjing. She fled Shanghai with her parents to live on Hong Kong Island when she was a child. When she was 18, her father died unexpectedly, leaving the mother and daughter with no source of income.

This woman is also a ruthless person. She no longer reads books. She takes a group of her little sisters to hang out in Portland Street. Because she is loyal and has good skills, she can live happily in Portland Street at first. The gang sister followed her to earn a living, this time because Brother Hu, the boss of Portland Street, had his mind set on marrying her back as his concubine.

Shen Jing looked down on Brother Hu, who was in his 40s, and had several conflicts with him. But as a madam, she usually doesn’t think that the backer behind her is unreliable, so she naturally suffered a loss. Now Portland Street If she couldn't get in, her little sisters would be alienated from her, and her business would be out of business.

Shen Jing used to treat her little sisters well, and the points she got were very low. She often had to help her little sisters out, so she didn't have much savings. In addition, after the source of income was cut off, the mother and daughter suddenly had a difficult life. difficult.

In addition, her mother has always wanted her to take the right path. This time she saw Cao Zhihua's recruitment information, which only required management skills and no housekeeping experience, so she came to give it a try.

Cao Zhihua thinks this woman is very capable and has a good personality. Although she brings girls out to make money, she is not a bad person. This time she is not forced into a corner. She is still a very smart and smooth person, and she is very good at asking questions during the conversation. The only thing that worries Cao Zhihua about Cao Zhihua's favor is that this woman's previous social relationships were too chaotic and she could easily cause trouble for him.
