The couple who came to apply for the job were both forty-six. The husband's name was Wei Wuguo, and the wife was Zhang Dongmei. They were childhood sweethearts. Wei Wuguo was a person with a strong sense of justice and was previously a recruit in the military school during his youth. Once when he was off duty, he was injured when saving people, causing a permanent scar on his face and blinding one of his eyes. Naturally, he could no longer continue his career as a soldier and had to retire.
Wei Wuguo didn't want to cause the army trouble. After being discharged, he took a meager pension and returned to his hometown to find a new job. Unfortunately, many employers rejected him just because of the blind eye and conspicuous scar on his face.
In addition, Wei Wuguo himself was only strong in physical skills and combat ability. Back during his days in military school, it took him a lot of grueling effort to pass the written classes. Even security guards nowadays needed an acceptable look, and Wei Wuguo had no other skills that attracted employers enough to ignore his appearance. Failing to find a job, he finally returned to his hometown to be a farmer.
Later, he met Zhang Dongmei, who was willing to be with him. The two finally married and had a daughter together. The couple had a dull life, but their daughter was an excellent student and was admitted to Beijing University.
The couple was naturally happy for their daughter, but at the same time, they were in a dilemma. They wanted to stay close to their daughter and save more to give her a better life, but farming was not a profitable job, and they couldn't earn enough money no matter how hard they worked.
After long deliberation, the couple finally decided to try their luck and move to Beijing. In order to find a job, Wei Wuguo contacted former colleagues from his army days, most of whom he had not seen for many years. The majority of them had also retired from military service and now either ran their own business or got employed in the civilian sector.
One of the most popular jobs among ex-military was to become a security guard in a high-end establishment. Despite looking dull and ordinary, this job was easy enough, paid well, and came with generous benefits.
Wei Wuguo contacted his former colleagues but didn't put all his hope in them. In the meantime, he and his wife tried their best to do job-hunting on their own. Unexpectedly, one of his former colleagues rang him a call only five days later, saying that a resident in the community he worked was hiring a couple. Seeing that Wei Wuguo and Zhang Dongmei met the requirements, the person agreed to give them an interview.
After Fu Yunruo learned about the couple's background, she was already moved. They were just a normal rural couple with nothing to suspect of, and most importantly, they met the basic requirements she set. Still, she had to test Wei Wuguo's skills before making a final decision. The garden housed many precious orchids, so the security guard needed real skills. Otherwise, in the case of burglary and such, it would be fatal if the security couldn't deter the thief or even get injured in the process.
It just happened that Qian Shengnan was here, so Fu Yunruo let her test Wei Wuguo in real combat. In the end, the two ended up in a tie, but according to Qian Shengnan, she lost.
There was no problem with skills, no problem with characters, and the flaw in appearance could be ignored.
What's more, the scar on Wei Wuguo's face was the medal of heroic deeds, which only roused Fu Yunruo's admiration. In fact, after looking at the scar for some time, she was now used to it and no longer felt it scary.
Since Uncle Guo also had no objection, Fu Yunruo hired the couple on the spot with a probationary period of three months.
The salary and benefit Fu Yunruo offered was generous, so the couple asked for no more and directly entered their first day of employment.
