“That’s right! Manager! Can you switch to another method!” A girl in the front called out daintily while twisting her handkerchief.

  The senior manager darkened his face and glimpsed at that lovely lady. Seeing this, the lovely lady immediately winked flirtatiously back at him, but instead only incited one word from the scowling senior manager: “Scram—”


  His shout was thunderous, even resonating afterwards.

  It scared the females into yielding, and they hurriedly went forth to lift the huge rock one after another. That scene was too beautiful that she simply couldn’t look at it directly.

  Qiao Mu saw a young lady rub her fists and wipe her palms as she went up. She first used her handkerchief to wipe her sweat. Then, she stretched out her arms and sprawled on the huge rock with her entire body, shouting heave-ho for half the day……

  The huge rock didn’t budge one bit!

  The senior manager that was looking down from the steps, as well as the estate’s servants, were simultaneously drenched in sweat that flowed down their foreheads like a waterfall.

  “Next!” Simply a waste of time!

  “Senior Manager, let me try again!” That young lady cried out as two servants dragged her away on her heels.

  Qiao Mu was completely at a loss for words.

  The young lady who went up this time was dressed in black, with agile and graceful movements. She steadily lifted up the huge rock on her first try, which earned her the senior manager’s look of approval.

  “Excellent! Go over there to register your name. Next one!”


  After several weak and delicate girls in a row got dragged away by the servants, the remaining females were on pins and needles.

  They really wanted to lift up this huge rock so that they could successfully enter the Qin Estate. But unfortunately, out of the few hundred females that had tested so far, only that black-clothed young lady had valiantly lifted up the huge rock and was hired on the spot.

  After this black-clothed young lady finished her registration, she stepped to the side and crossed her arms. She collectedly watched the orioles and swallows’ attempts with an air of slight arrogance.

  “Dong dong dong dong dong!” Booming footsteps suddenly attracted the crowd’s attention. When they turned their head to look, they were all stunned speechless, their eyes straining so much that they were about to pop out of their sockets.

  The woman who walked up was about 25 or 26 years old. She had a robust and pudgy physique that was at least three to four times wider than that of other girls.

  Her two arms wrapped around that huge rock that was half a person’s height, and with a sudden stomp and heave, she instantly raised the huge rock above her head.

  “Good!” The old manager shouted. He waved at the robust woman and then pointed at the black-clothed female standing to one side. “Go register, and then stand next to that young lady.”


  “Dong dong dong dong dong!” As the pudgy woman took earth-shaking footsteps, the surrounding females’ jaws were about to drop to the ground.

  “F*ck. Even this d*mn fatso can enter the Qin Estate!”


  “Manager! Won’t hiring this fatso be too much of an eyesore for the estate!!”


  “That’s right, that’s right. She’s so fat and ugly. Even if she just stands in the courtyard, it’ll feel like she’ll have snatched away most of the fresh air there!”


  The manager glared fiercely at them. “Stop prattling! Step up if you want to test. If you don’t, make way and leave immediately!”


  Those young ladies who were clamoring the most vehemently instantly deflated. After they failed to budge the hug rock, they gloomily retreated to the back with their tails between their legs.

  At long last, it was our dear Qiao Mu’s turn to test. Under the senior manager’s rather formidable gaze, Qiao Mu walked up and lifted up the huge rock with two hands while putting on an act. She pretended that her strength was exhausted not long afterwards and dropped the huge rock back onto the ground.

  The senior manager gave a “mhm,” then nodded and said, “Go over there to register! Even though you’re young, you’re quite strong. Not bad, you’re a useful one.”


  Qiao Mu nodded with her stoic face and walked up to the table on the side. Without even pondering, she wrote down three characters: Mu Xiao Bao[1].

  [1] ‘Mu’ is the character in ‘Qiao Mu’ and also means wood. ‘Xiao Bao’ means Little Treasure.
