Without waiting for Gu Tiancheng to react, the girl on the left hand side smiled: "The people below all praise you for your ability, you can tell who is the eldest lady among the three of us?"

Of course Gu Tiancheng knew, but he couldn't show too dazzling, and shook his head slightly, "You are all dressed the same, there is no way to tell the difference." ”

Another said: "Two of the three are the maids of the eldest lady, and one is the eldest lady, even if you guess randomly, there is a good chance of guessing." ”

Gu Tiancheng said: "In my heart, it is a very sacred thing to be received by the eldest lady, and I don't want to use guessing to be perfunctory. If I had to say, I can only rely on my feelings, the one on the left should be the eldest lady. ”

Gu Tiancheng pointed to Tang Chuyao on the left and nodded at her.

"Do you have any basis?" the three girls were a little surprised.

Gu Tiancheng said: "The maid is used to serving people, but she is not used to being served by the eldest lady. Among the three young ladies just now, only the young lady on the left hand was calm and natural, and there was no response to my respectful attitude just now. The other two ladies were smiling, and it was clear that my performance was quite unusual for them. ”

It's impeccable to say this, and even anyone will say it, but whoever really wants to judge by this depends on guessing. They didn't know that Gu Tiancheng had known Tang Chuyao for a long time, and of course Gu Tiancheng could pretend to be generous.

Tang Chuyao nodded lightly, "Keen observation, not bad." ”

Gu Tiancheng couldn't help but glance up at Tang Chuyao, the posture of the superior was even more sufficient, but it could be seen that she was deliberately forbearance just now, restraining her "kingly atmosphere".

"I heard that when you first came, you prepared gifts for many people, and you are very good at being a person. I don't know what gift you have prepared for me?" Tang Chuyao couldn't see joy or anger on his face, he was calm and calm, and he couldn't hear Tang Chuyao's likes and dislikes in his voice.

Gu Tiancheng knew that he was an outsider in Tang Chuyao, and if he wanted to win her favor, he could only rely on real talent and learning, and opportunism was the most important thing.

The act of taking the initiative to give gifts is opportunistic in Tang Chuyao's eyes, and it is a serious minus.

"Back to the eldest lady, the little ones are not prepared, and there is no need to prepare. Gu Tiancheng was neither humble nor silent, without a trace of fear.

Tang Chuyao's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Why?"

Gu Tiancheng said: "I chose to prepare gifts for them in order to survive. If I'm going to prepare a gift for the eldest lady, it's definitely for the future. The nature of the two is not the same. ”

"In order to survive?" are you saying that if you don't give gifts, you won't be able to live?" Tang Chuyao's face turned cold, and his tone became aggressive.

Gu Tiancheng said calmly: "Does the eldest lady think that survival is just life and death? Yes, even if I give gifts, I will not die here, but I will be bullied here, bullied outside the rules." This is the norm at the bottom of society: new people come to be bullied by those old people.

I don't want to suffer from sins outside the rules, so I choose to give gifts because I want to get the same treatment as those old people as a newcomer: abide by the rules, enjoy the protection of the rules, and only accept the punishment of the rules. ”

Tang Chuyao was stunned for a moment, obviously these were things she had never experienced or even heard of, and she pondered for a while, "Since it is the norm, why can others tolerate it, but you can't?"

Gu Tiancheng said: "When others see that other newcomers are being bullied, they can balance psychologically, so they choose to go against the grain. Just because I'm bullied doesn't mean I have to be bullied like them.

I don't want to be bullied, so that's why I use my brain to figure out how to not be bullied. In my opinion, it is far more cost-effective to spend some money on gifts than to be bullied. But I also know that many people have the opposite opinion of me, and there are many people who can't imagine that there is a way to give gifts. ”

Tang Chuyao sneered, "It's a good thing to say, if you don't give gifts, those people in the mine will all say good things for you and recommend you to me?

Gu Tiancheng said: "I am not a saint, I can arrange everything carefully, I can only see in front of me, and I can only take care of what is in front of me." As for those people recommending me to you, I don't think the reason for the recommendation is that I gave a gift. ”

Tang Chuyao's face turned a little pale, and his tone softened: "Yes, it's really not." Then I'm going to test you one or two. Your mine has been failing to meet production targets, what can you do to increase production?"

Gu Tiancheng complained in his heart: You raise so many people, why do you ask me! If it weren't for watching you because of my downfall, I wouldn't have bothered to suffer from your anger here.

"If you are not in your position, you are not in charge, this question is not good for me. Besides, I've only been here for a few days, and I'm not familiar with the work in the mines. ”

Tang Chuyao said: "Aren't you smart? Aren't you different? You are not familiar with anything else, you have been doing the work of mining, you should be familiar with it, you can talk about how to increase the output of mining." ”

Gu Tiancheng said: "Improve mining methods. ”

"How can it be improved?"

Gu Tiancheng said: "I do have ideas on how to improve, but no matter what I say, the eldest lady will not believe it." If I can, I can put my ideas into practice tomorrow and let the eldest lady see if she can improve and how much. ”

Tang Chuyao glanced at Gu Tiancheng in surprise, and judged him in his heart: in front of himself, he was calm and calm, and in the face of his own doubts, he was not frightened, but refuted them one by one with reasonable evidence. For that alone, this person is available.

"Okay, I promise!"

"Then the eldest lady has nothing else to do, I'll go back and prepare first. Gu Tiancheng bowed to Tang Chuyao and was about to withdraw.

"Wait, will I let you go?" Tang Chuyao said softly.

Gu Tiancheng was a little surprised, according to his estimate, Tang Chuyao saw him for the first time, and it was enough to this extent. Whether you can do it yourself or not depends on tomorrow's performance. Only after passing the threshold of tomorrow can he gain a certain status here in Tang Chuyao.

Since he didn't know what Tang Chuyao left him to do, Gu Tiancheng just stood still and didn't speak.

Tang Chuyao looked at Gu Tiancheng and was stunned for a long time, then said, "I heard that you have a very stable hand?"

Gu Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "I do have a good hand. ”

Tang Chuyao sneered and motioned for the two maids to move in front of Gu Tiancheng for a drawing and some crossbow arrow parts.

"Here are the drawings and accessories for the chain crossbow, give you half an hour and you assemble it. ”

But Gu Tiancheng was very cautious, thought for a while, and said, "Miss, the little one is not very good at reading drawings. If the eldest lady wants to test my skills, I can ask them to assemble it in front of me, and I will remember the assembly technique and order, and then I will assemble it. ”

When Tang Chuyao heard it, it was reasonable, so he motioned to the maid to show Gu Tiancheng a demonstration.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
