266: Thanks for your hard work
This iron "spy" is here to help.
The Student Union officials were nervous, all looking at Zheng Jishi.
Zheng Jishi smiled and said, "Of course!"
Hu Lai smiled.
Working together would help him infiltrate the Student Union; this was a good start.
But the next second, Hu Lai couldn't smile anymore.
Zheng Jishi just smiled and unceremoniously began to assign tasks.
"Go clean the courtyard outside. Also, to the right of the entrance, there's some mugwort. Go get it and burn it. Once all that's done, I'll give you a list. The list is full of Patients, and I plan to gather them here for treatment.
Find someone to see if they can all be carried over.
Oh, and..."
Hu Lai: ???
Am I a Deity Transformation Realm Cultivator? To be used like this?
Hu Lai was cursing inwardly. What was wrong with this Student Union? If you knew it was the Student Union, you'd think it was some rich mine owner using slaves!
Who assigns work like this?!
Didn't I just faint?!
But Hu Lai didn't dare say no, because this was the beginning of his infiltration, and it was the first time Zheng Jishi had assigned him something to do.
If he refused this time, it would be difficult to do anything in the future.
Hu Lai forced a very strained smile and chuckled, "Alright, alright."
Zheng Jishi thought for a moment and said, "It's best to finish within an hour. Next hour, I have more things to arrange for you."
Hu Lai: ???
You motherfucker... Dogs wouldn't do this kind of work!
Dogs wouldn't do it, but I will!
Hu Lai nodded, grinning, "Don't worry, don't worry. Just tell me directly if there's anything."
He put on his most cheerful face, while internally seething.
After Hu Lai left, the Student Union officials exchanged glances, unable to hold back their laughter any longer, and started to make sounds.
"Hahaha, this guy is so silly!"
"These spies are so annoying, they deserve to do so much work!"
"Come on, if you want to work, there's endless work to be done!"
Zheng Jishi said softly, "I see his Qi and blood surging; he should be a Cultivator. It takes us ordinary people too long to do these things.
It just so happens there's a foolish spy. We can make him work and don't even have to feed him. It's too great."
Everyone laughed.
An hour later, Hu Lai ran over, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Zheng Jishi smiled and said, "Already done?"
Hu Lai: "Yes! I almost didn't finish, I'm a bit tired."
"You worked hard."
"No, no, it's no hardship."
"That's perfect." Zheng Jishi then assigned another pile of tasks. "Since you're not tired, then it's perfect for you to do some of these tasks as well."
Hu Lai: ???
No, do you not understand what politeness is?
Hu Lai wiped his sweat, "Alright! I'll go do it now!"
Damn it, they're really treating people like donkeys!
Following Zheng Jishi's instructions, Hu Lai went around asking each Patient in the temporary shelter if they needed help, completely embodying the image of a good person.
After brewing herbal medicine for a Patient, Hu Lai impatiently carried it over.
The Patient said gratefully, "Thank you so much, you are truly a good person, even better than the county magistrate!"
It was the first time Hu Lai had heard someone call a professional spy a good person, and he found it amusing.
If these people knew that his arrival was to eliminate their "savior," he wondered if they would still speak to him with such gratitude.
At that time, he would probably be greeted with rotten vegetable leaves and eggs, right?!
Not necessarily; in these famine years, let alone eggs, even rotten vegetable leaves were good things!
Hu Lai thought to himself, amused.
He exchanged a few polite words and then went to the next Patient.
Hu Lai had never received so much goodwill in such a short period of time.
"Young man, thank you, you are truly a good person."
"Thank you so much. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word."
"I don't know how to repay you. I still have half a steamed bun, please take it."
"The young man is handsome and has excellent character!"
These compliments, at first listen, seemed a bit fake.
But as he listened, Hu Lai felt that this gratitude was truly pleasant to hear!
It sounds good, I love hearing it, please say more.
Hu Lai was practically floating as he walked.
After more than an hour, Hu Lai, who had finished his tasks again, said with a smile:
"Dr. Zheng, I've taken care of everything."
He originally wanted to be polite and ask if there was anything else he needed to do, but remembering that this person didn't understand politeness, he stopped himself in time.
Zheng Jishi nodded with a smile. He had seen Hu Lai working and he was quite serious and made no mistakes.
"You worked hard."
"It was hard work, but everyone worked hard."
Hu Lai said with a smile.
He dared not say "it was no hardship" anymore.
As a result, Zheng Jishi said, "I'll have to trouble you to work a bit harder. Over there..."
Hu Lai: ???
He felt like he was being targeted, but he couldn't find any evidence.
So, whether he said he worked hard or not, he still had to work.
Then what was he wasting his time for, thinking of countermeasures?!
Hu Lai continued to work with a bitter expression.
By the end of the day, Hu Lai was very tired.
But the Student Union officials were all very relaxed.
Having free labor was just great!
At this point, Hu Lai also revealed his true intentions.
Hu Lai grinned and leaned in front of Zheng Jishi and the others, saying, "I've worked so long today. Although I feel very tired, I feel inexplicably happy and fulfilled.
I think the Student Union is a Gang with ideals.
I want to join the Student Union. Can you introduce me?"
Zheng Jishi: "The Student Union is a Gang with ideals, but precisely because of that, our personnel review system is extremely strict.
To be honest, most people in this village want to join the Student Union, but they are either rejected or are still under observation.
Hu Lai, you are very diligent, and we all see that.
But joining the Student Union is a long process of observation.
I cannot explicitly promise you now; it requires..."
"It requires seeing my future performance, right!"
Hu Lai said directly. He understood, he understood it all.
Besides, he just asked; it would be best if he could get in, but it was normal if he couldn't.
If the Student Union were really that easy to enter, it wouldn't have managed to fool all those important figures from the Canglan Guard.
Zheng Jishi gave a heavy "hmm," afraid that Hu Lai wouldn't be as enthusiastic about working tomorrow.
He gave Hu Lai a little sweetener.
"However, others need to be observed for a long time, but you are so proactive, I think it won't be long before you pass our assessment and join the Student Union.
At that time, the President of the Student Union will even meet you personally!"
The President of the Student Union!
Hu Lai's heart trembled.
This was a big fish!
Whether the Student Union had anything to do with the Incense Dao would depend on this President!
He had to be even more proactive and find out as soon as possible!
