Chapter Four, a job

"I want my father-in-law to find me a job. "

Silence, a brief but grave silence.

Many ideas flashed through the minds of Nangong's father and daughter, such as giving him money, allowing him to have a concubine, or using his status as a master to get him to "break the rules" and join the water tribe. Anyway, it must have been something petty. But unexpectedly, Lu asked for a job.

Running errands. Isn't that what normal, career-minded people think? In front of this is no ambition all over the loser, even a servant can bully to the head of the people, actually have the heart to do the job?

In this short silence, Nangong Ming looked at Lu ran's eyes with the past has been different.

"Ha ha ha. "

Nangong Ming suddenly burst out laughing, laughing very strange, let a person can not see is the smile of appreciation or disdain laugh.

"Well, looks like it's going to be a hell of a day. So tell me, what's it going to be like in Florida? "

"Civil Affairs Minister. " Lu Ran said calmly.

POW!

Nangong suddenly changed color, on the table under heavy clap, the shock dishes are split. Obviously, Lu ran this answer let him not calm, or let him angry.

"BASTARD! The civil affairs minister is not competent, but he is four occupations in all walks of life. Only a man of virtue and ability can not do it. You are... you are... Hum! "

He was too embarrassed to say the words after "you one" in front of his daughter, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

You're a worthless piece of shit. You can't even pass the entrance exam. What makes you qualified for such an important position?

The civil affairs minister is an official who handles the comprehensive affairs of a city alongside the criminal affairs minister in the country of support for the wind. However, all matters involving civil disputes, complaints and other matters are within the scope of his acceptance and jurisdiction, and although his status is lower than that of the Criminal Affairs Minister, but it's a lot more complicated.

Successive civil affairs chiefs are both virtuous and talented, and usually have the power and background of the smooth people. After all, the affairs involved in all walks of life, involved in all major doors, families and officials, a little careless will get burned.

Because of this, when hear Lu ran want to be the civil affairs minister of Huaizhou City, Nangong Ming on his just born a little expect instant annihilation, thought he was just messing around.

Even the South Palace Jin Er heard here, also feel that he put forward such a request, in addition to show out of vexatious overreach, there is nothing else.

"Go home, don't make father angry. Today never happened, " she warned in a low voice.

Nangong Ming is usually a gentle person, but there are principles to do things, without losing the dignity. If Lu ran really want from him here a little favor, he would not care, after all, son-in-law's image of the people placed there. But when it comes to office, when it comes to business, it's business as usual.

Obviously, Lu ran's request today is so ridiculous, there is no need for further discussion. Jane Son this speech, also is to save him, otherwise if say two more to make father angry, then the consequences can not be imagined.

But this husband has not that husband, today's Lu ran very clear what he is doing, will also insist in the end.

"father-in-law, please calm down. I have come to you today to discuss the office of the Abuse of authority, not in the hope that you will help me to get the post, but in the hope that you will help me to apply for the election. I asked the Personnel Department of Huaizhou City, and they said that to register for the Civil Affairs Bureau, you need a letter of recommendation from another serving official or from someone above the rank of clan elder."

"The first thing I thought of was the lady, " Lu ran added, without waiting for Nangong to speak. "But the lady, though highly trained, was just an ordinary disciple and could not be recommended. So I had to ask my father-in-law to help me. "

"Oh, I see you went to the personnel office. I see the conditions for running for president of the People's bureau have been investigated. "

Said Nangong Ming, adding a touch of playfulness to his tone. He picked up his chopsticks again and slowly picked up a piece of vegetables.

"Yes, I've already looked into it. "

"Now that you have investigated, you should know that although the civil affairs election is only a literary test, it first requires that the candidate's martial arts training must reach the state of martial arts master. You can't even pass the entrance exam of my inner gate, don't you have a B number in your mind?"

In the face of his father-in-law's ridicule, Lu ran just a faint smile.

"The entrance exam has already passed, just at noon today. Here is the student ID. Please have a look. "

He said he handed out today just got the student card, let the South Temple Bright.

"As for the qualification, I don't need to bother my father-in-law. Since he has asked you to run for office, I am sure he will be able to get my running-water master qualification before the election, as of tomorrow. "

He did not forget to put on a face of fear and authority, a confident look.

"Tomorrow? "

Looking at Lu ran's student card, Nangong Ming really felt a little surprised. But at this he frowned again.

WHAT IS THE ENTRANCE EXAM? Any 14-or 15-year-old can pass, you a nearly 20-year-old guy passed the test is great?

Why are you making such a big deal out of this?

Besides, is martial arts so easy to promote? Although the level of martial arts training can be very fast, but from six to seven heavy to at least three to five months of martial arts it?

This is still qualified on the situation of sufficient resources, you are a talent dull iq are not online what, dare to say crazy talk about tomorrow to get the qualification certificate?

You think certificates are just scribbles?

See Nangong Ming face sulks, Lu ran to a dose of heart needle: "father-in-law do not have to worry, I Lu ran word by deed, tomorrow get the certificate, tomorrow get the certificate. Tomorrow after sunset do not count. "

"Uh... "

I have to say, this speech is very bold, the manner of speaking is also very infectious, anyone who does not know him after listening to this speech, will inevitably be overwhelmed by such lofty feelings.

But why does that sound so wrong?

It's like someone's saying, "my word is my bond... "

Nangong clearly fixed to see the landing ran, the corners of the mouth can not help twitching for a while.

He was trying to connect Lu ran with words like "keep your word" and "drive" , but he soon failed.

He could not imagine how the fool in front of him had the courage to speak so brazenly. Yeah, I guess it was stupid enough.

"husband, " the South Palace Jin son interjects in time, be afraid of the father is angry below hurl a person: "You, still go back first. If later you passed the examination for Abbot, come again to run for civilian affairs long also not late, anyway this kind of position often changes person. "

"WAIT! "

At this time, Nangong Ming suddenly came to a 180-degree turn, unexpectedly interrupted the daughter's good intentions: "This is you said, tomorrow before the Sun goes down to get the master certificate issued by the flowing water zong? "

"Yes, before the fall. "

"Well, I'll do you a favor and write a letter of recommendation to the personnel department tonight. "

Then he sneered: "But, you'd better really get the qualification. If not, then later on in the side, do not appear in front of me. "

"Of course. "

Lu ran replied, the tone is still calm, but the heart is a sigh of relief.

He dared to ask his father-in-law for help today. He had his reasons, but frankly, he wasn't sure he'd say yes until now. After all, he's too much of a loser.

It's a good thing it worked out. As for not being able to appear before my father-in-law without a certificate, what is that, then? I haven't been in your face since the wedding, okay?

When the business was settled, he returned to his side without further ado. On his return, he began to carry out his plan without delay.

He asked the maid, Xiao Lan, to take him to the market. First, he pawned a fine silk dress he had changed out of yesterday for a hundred taels of silver. In terms of purchasing power, that's roughly 10,000 more than the earth.

Then I went to the herb shop and bought some low-grade elixirs for practice, and something special.
