I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 88

Jiang Beiran followed Gu Qinghuan to the warehouse. As soon as he entered the warehouse, he heard Xiong Ba's attentive voice.

“Greetings, Young Master.” Xiong Ba bowed deeply after saying that, because he knew that he couldn't earn this much money without this young master. Nodding at Xiong Ba, Jiang Beiran walked to the crowd and stopped in front of a middle-aged man wearing a black round-necked robe. This robe looked quite formal, but there were a lot of patches on it.

The middle-aged man realized Jiang Beiran was looking at him. He could tell that Jiang Beiran was the real employer from Gu Qinghuan's and Xiong Ba's reactions. So, he quickly introduced himself, “My name is Zhu Jing. I used to be a steward in two big families, but because of the previous owner…” “Very good. You're the one. Stand at the back.”

Zhu Jing was stunned for a while before bowing repeatedly, “Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Young Master…”

After choosing the butler, Jiang Beiran looked at the young man behind him.

The young man was also very smart, he immediately knelt in front of Jiang Beiran and said, “My name is Xue Zhongliu. I live in Tongjia Village. I have strength and can endure hardships. I don't eat much. You can give me four flatbread a day. No! Three flatbreads!”

Jiang Beiran asked with interest, “Zhongliu? Do you have a younger brother named Zhongba?”

“Young Master, how do you know? I do have a younger brother named Zhongba! It's just that… he had malaria a few years ago and died prematurely.”

“I'm sorry for your loss. Go stand at the back. From now on, you have to work hard.” “Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!” Xue Zhongliu kowtowed three times and stood together with Butler Zhu.

Seeing that Xue Zhongliu was also called away, the rest of the people couldn't help but shout in front of Jiang Beiran one by one.

“Young Master, my name is Liu Fu! My younger brother also died prematurely. I only eat three pancakes. You can have me too!” “Young Master! My younger brother is also called Zhongba! My name is Chuji!” “Young Master! I can also endure hardships! I also have strength!”

These people were scrambling to introduce themselves. Jiang Beiran was going to randomly pick two people and then leave, but several options suddenly popped out. It could be said that these people in front of him were all “troublemakers”.

However, Jiang Beiran also understood. After all, even if they were just servants, they would be around him. If some of them could not control their mouth or hands, they would a lot of troubles to him.

After a round of choosing, Jiang Beiran obtained a total of 11 attribute points, which could be considered as an unexpected gain.

Seeing that the situation was getting a little out of control, Xiong Ba hurriedly walked up and shouted, “What are you guys doing! Do you all want to die?! Stand back!”

Obviously, Xiong Ba had a lot of authority in this group of people. The people who were talking about him just now all stood back with their heads lowered.

When the situation was under control, Xiong Ba then smiled apologetically at Jiang Beiran and said, “Young Master, don't lower yourself to their level. They are all vagrants and don't have much upbringing. If you don't like them, give me some time and I'll help you find a better batch.”

Actually, even without Xiong Ba's explanation, Jiang Beiran had already guessed that these people were definitely vagrants. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so excited just because they found a handyman job.

No matter how the world changed, vagrants were always the most miserable people at the bottom. These people had left their homes due to the cruel war, natural disasters, plagues, harsh taxes, and other reasons. When they came to a strange place, they didn't have any fields to grow, they did not have any relatives to seek refuge with. They truly had no food to eat, and they lived an extremely insecure life.

Xiong Ba had specifically said that they were vagrants in order to please Jiang Beiran. He knew that high-ranking officials and nobles liked to recruit vagrants as servants, because these people had escaped from the original government organization. They were actually some sort of illegal citizens.

Even if these people were beaten to death, no one would seek justice for them, because no one remembered their existence, and no one cared about their lives.

When they heard that Xiong Ba was going to replace them, the group of vagrants immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting, “Young Master, we don't dare, we don't dare. Please don't chase us away.”

Jiang Beiran waved his hand at Xiong Ba and said, “There's no need to change a new batch.”

“Then you can continue to pick.” Xiong Ba said and retreated to the back.

Very quickly, Jiang Beiran picked out all the people in the crowd who would not trigger the system option. There was a total of 15 people. It was actually a little too many for his mansion, but it was not a big deal. He saw it as doing a good deed.

“These are all the people I want. Let the rest go,” Jiang Beiran added, “As for these selected fifteen people, find a place to settle them. I'll find someone to pick them up tomorrow. Of course, I'll pay for the expenses.”

Xiong Ba nodded repeatedly after hearing that. “Master! You don't have to pay for it. It won't cost much.”

Jiang Beiran didn't continue to argue with Xiong Ba about the accommodation cost. He turned to Gu Qinghuan and said, “I'll leave the rest to you.”

“Yes.” Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands.

Although those rejected people wanted to chase after Jiang Beiran and beg him again, they knew that they couldn't afford to offend Xiong Ba. If they made trouble and made him unhappy, they would all be finished, so they could only sit there and sigh.

“Young Master, there's still us…”

Just as Jiang Beiran was about to leave the warehouse, a few crisp voices suddenly shouted.

Jiang Beiran turned his head and saw a few pretty girls. Before Jiang Beiran could ask what was going on, Gu Qinghuan walked out and stopped the girls. Then, he cupped his hands to Jiang Beiran and said, “Big brother, these are…”

Jiang Beiran instantly understood what Gu Qinghuan meant and waved his hand, looking at the five girls.

“Good guy… This is a good way to earn attribute points.”

Just as Jiang Beiran thought of taking these five girls back as his maidservants, five options popped up in a row. Each of them was all black grade, which was much more ruthless than the ones he had eliminated earlier.

After a round of choices, Jiang Beiran earned five attribute points. He thought that if he did this once a day in the future, he would not need to patrol the mountains anymore. However, this thought only lingered for a second. In the past, if he used the same thing to farm attribute points, the system would go on strike at any moment. It would only cause more trouble.

Seeing Jiang Beiran stop in his tracks, those servants who had been chosen could not help but feel nervous. If the new master wanted these maidservants, wouldn't it be terrible if they were kicked out.

However, the new master only took a glance at them before shaking his head at them and leaving All that was left was a group of people who were dumbfounded.

“This new master… is really different.”
