59 You Have Probably Heard of Her Before (1/2)
”You mean like a workshop?”
While Ye Shuang was hesitant to ask, Han Chu accepted it rather easily. After the short initial shock, Han Chu got down to business. ”How many members are there? What are their individual talents?”
So, having a workshop is rather common, it seems. Ye Shuang sighed and was silently impressed by how complicated the whole head-hunting business was. ”I suppose you can call it a workshop, but technically speaking, there's only one other member. When I'm not free to work on the case, it'll be taken over by this other member. Er, from the look on your face, there seems to be some problem?”
”A workshop is harder to pick up than an individual, but of course, this doesn't mean that a structure like yours can't work.” Han Chu sighed and started to regret doing this favor for Fang Mo.
Fang Mo was a close friend of his, and it was rare for Fang Mo to ask him for a favor, so denying the favor after accepting it would probably ruin their friendship. However, before accepting the favor, Han Chu wasn't tipped off to the fact that accepting this new talent came with its own conditions. Han Chu sighed and asked for his laptop back. He scrolled through it as he asked, ”So basically you mean, it'll be a small team of two, but you'll still only accept cases meant for an individual? Are there any other conditions or limitations?”
Based on Han Chu's head-hunting habits, be it facing the client or his workers, their requests were normally not within his considerations. He only cared about two things: the usability of his workers and their mission completion rate. Of course, he understood that the greater the talent, the greater their demands and limitations. In fact, it was not uncommon for people to reject cases based on their preferences or their refusal to work with certain clients.
Preferring to have a partner handle cases together was not something that difficult to understand. After all, in Han Chu's hands, there was a hacker sibling team. It was not that big of a deal. However, two individuals could never have perfect synergy, so there would be inadvertent mistakes when passing off the job. Furthermore, there had to be a difference in the two people's abilities and specialties. In conclusion, the flexibility of such a structure would not be as good as someone who worked alone. Of course, it was a completely different story if it was a large workshop.
After Ye Shuang told him that her partner had no demands or limitations in terms of the accepted case, Han Chu's congested feeling started to get better. He lowered his head to look through the form, and indeed, the box for case preferences was left empty, but the list of specializations was a bit…
”Fighting, cooking, good memory, driving, mastery of foreign language…” As Han Chu read through it, he started to feel even more helpless. After he read over the form and saved the digital file, he rubbed his temples before saying, ”I feel like there's some misunderstanding here. Fang Mo said you're an impossible talent…”
But based on the form, how come it doesn't appear that way at all‽
First, it is one thing for the specializations to be all over the place, but even the content is incredibly vague. For example, fighting… Both professional boxing and two women clawing each other hair out on the street could be considered fighting. So, which one are you‽ At least put down the fighting style you're familiar with and how good you are at it!
Han Chu felt like he had been scammed.
Ye Shuang laughed awkwardly. ”I don't want to toot my own horn, but trust me, I believe I have many unexplored talents, but the key is I don't have the time to take the certificate examinations, so there's a lack of official recognition.”
For example, horse appraisal. Indeed, she did not have any professional knowledge of this skill, but from the usage of the inherited memory and based on her newfound understanding of animal physiology, she could complete the task that was given to her. In other words, Ye Shuang had a huge storage of theoretical knowledge, but she had no idea what kind of situation it would be useful for.
