What about the next one? How could I be chosen so easily

While Yan Fang was still confused, Lu Sanlang had already started to calmly announce the next candidate. Like Yan Fang, he was born as an accountant. His boss was framed and lost his property. He was kicked out because he could not please the new boss and was hated by some shopkeepers. When he tried to take the civil service examination, he was squeezed out by people with backgrounds. Of course, that was before Wang Jie became the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

In addition to these resumes, Lu Sanlang also emphasized the person's outstanding ability and good character. There is no doubt that his second choice was once again approved by Zhang Shou. Then, he asked Qi Liang to introduce the remaining two people on the first list.

The two candidates Qi Liang mentioned were the so-called newcomers in his previous proposal of bringing the old with the new—in fact, they were not that new. Compared with his and Deng Xiaodai’s age, these two were in their early twenties, and were born as scholars. Mathematics was just their hobby. As for their talents, it was natural that they could be admitted to Jiuzhang Hall and persist in the fast teaching progress of Jiuzhang Hall.

Then, Lu Sanlang and Qi Liang took turns introducing the second, third, and fourth batches. Taking advantage of the time they had spent watching the show at Ge's house, he and Qi Liang came up with a list of sixteen people.

Zhang Shou had expected this result. Lu Sanlang was a very smart man, and although Qi Liang was born in the countryside and had less experience, he was also a serious, careful and cautious person, which complemented each other perfectly. Just by looking at the list they discussed, he knew that under Wang Jie's command, these people would definitely be able to make the best use of their talents.

He immediately nodded with a smile and said, "This list is well chosen. It seems that I don't need to say anything more. Speaking of which, Lu Sanlang, Xiao Qi and Xiao Deng are all there. As the head of Jiuzhang Hall, don't you want to go and help Wang Dayin?"

I don't want to serve that black-faced boss! Following such a difficult boss, I will definitely be drilled to death all day long, but it will often be thankless. I may even have to rack my brains to think about how to deal with those local tyrants... I won't do it!

Lu Sanlang thought so in his heart, but he showed a very sincere smile on his face: "Teacher, as the head of the temple, of course I am willing to take everyone with me, but I am the son of the Shangshu after all, and I should not compete with others for this opportunity. For them, this is a turning point in life. Besides, you also need help, don't you? If Xiao Qi and I go, what will happen to Jiuzhang Hall?"

Pretentious! Hypocritical! Shameless! Zhang Chen cursed Lu Sanlang in his heart for his pretentiousness. However, when he saw that many of the Jiuzhangtang students around and behind Lu Sanlang were moved, he could not help but be stunned.

Can you win people's hearts with just a few simple words? These guys are too gullible!

Compared with Zhang Chen, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu looked at each other, and the two brothers felt at the same time that even though they had paid much attention to Lu Sanlang in the past, this attention was far from enough! Apart from anything else, Zhang Chen and the two of them combined, their influence in Banshan Hall was definitely not as high as Lu Sanlang! This was certainly because the noble children in Banshan Hall were not easy to deceive, but were they as attentive to others as Lu Sanlang
