The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

"Well, as far as I know, Chinese people pay more attention to personal relationships. If Professor Wu Lin has an acquaintance who recommends and introduces a driver to him, I am afraid that no matter how confident I am or how good my performance is, I can't beat the introduction of this acquaintance!"

Dunn expressed his thoughts in an orderly manner.

"So we have to filter out those people who were introduced by acquaintances. There is no way to prevent them from applying. Or we can find someone who is an acquaintance of Professor Wu. This way, we will have the greatest chance of getting the job!"

"Understood!"

Smith nodded.

"Our plan is carried out in secret, so I can't help you find someone to introduce you to, but I can filter out those who were introduced by acquaintances!"

"If that's the case, I think I have an 80% chance of getting the job!"

Dunn also knew that the second plan was unrealistic. According to the information, Professor Wu Lin was in a hurry to recruit drivers. If he didn't find the right person and the news was leaked to Wu Lin, then his job as a driver would be in vain.

After discussing the plan, Smith asked someone to take Payne to familiarize him with the working environment.

Dunn was kept by him to simulate various situations during the interview.

"Are you sure this is helpful?"

After simulating the solution given by Dunn several times, Smith asked with some confusion.

“That’s my biggest certainty.”

"But if people know that you've killed someone, I'm afraid their first concern would be safety!"

Smith still felt something was wrong!

"Mr. Smith, we have to take a risky approach! And based on my understanding of the Chinese, this tactic has the highest chance of success!

Think about it, if I apply for a driver job at a Chinese company under the same conditions, will he choose me, a Latino driver, or an Asian driver?

We can filter out those who were introduced by his acquaintances, but can we really filter out all Asian applicants?

If there isn't a single Asian applicant, anyone can tell there's something wrong!

I want to stand out from my compatriots who look and speak the same language as him. This is the only way I can do. Otherwise, I won’t have even 30% chance of success!"

Dunn said firmly.

"Okay! I'll trust you this time! But if you don't get the job this time, then just stay and wait for the phone with Roger!"

Smith compromised. Just as Dunn said, under the same conditions, the other party would definitely choose his compatriot instead of Dunn, a Latino outsider.

If you don't take an unconventional approach, it would be difficult to get this job.

Dunn spent the next day thinking about the most appropriate words. The work was quite easy. He also demonstrated it to Smith several times.

They also made some detailed plans. In addition to the original plan, they also took the initiative to bribe a few people to apply for the job and let them show lower quality to reflect Dunn.

In the afternoon, Dunn was taken directly to Chinatown in New York, because it was Wu Lin's time to get off work. He had been taking a taxi home these days.

Wu Lin would only meet with the interviewees he had arranged with after get off work.

When Dunn arrived, there were already several people queuing in front of him, which made Dunn feel very unhappy.

It’s not that I think queuing is a waste of time, but I was pulled here to carry out the mission just after I reported for duty today. They really think highly of me.

After interviewing several people one after another, it was soon Dunn's turn.

Wu Lin is not tall, but compared to the old version that Dunn saw before the time travel, the current Wu Lin is younger and more energetic.

He was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and had a mustache. Wu Lin was slightly surprised to see that the person who came in was a tall white man.

The few people he interviewed before him were all Asian. In this era, very few white people were willing to work for the Chinese. At most, there were a few Indians who came for the interview.

"Mr. Jackson, right?"

After a brief self-introduction, Wu Lin raised his doubts. Of course, Dunn did not use his real name. He used a fake identity, William Jackson.

"Are you really willing to be a driver for a Chinese like me?"

"Ah...Mr. Wu!"

Dunn showed an air of urgency.

"To be honest, I need this job. I was injured on the battlefield before. I have been unemployed for the past few years and have been living on relief! And I don't discriminate against Chinese people! I have fought side by side with some Chinese people on the battlefield before! To be honest, I have been saved by a Chinese person!"

"Oh! You've been to China?"

When Wu Lin heard that Dunn had fought side by side with the Chinese, he immediately became interested.

"no!"

Dunn simply shook his head. According to the setting, he was not supposed to understand Chinese, otherwise Wu Lin would probably not have said some confidential words in front of him.

His main purpose in applying for the position of Wu Lin's driver was to monitor Wu Lin.

"I fought the Japanese alongside the Chinese army in Burma!"

"You fought the Japanese!"

After hearing this, Wu Lin became a little excited.

"I fought the Japanese in Burma, but I was injured and had to retire!"

"Where are you hurt?"

After hearing that Dunn had beaten the Japanese, Wu Lin even switched to honorifics.

"My back was hit by a Japanese bomb and is covered with wounds!"

Dunn lifted up his shirt and showed Bryn the wound on his back.

Although this was an injury he suffered on the battlefield in the Philippines.

"I understand! Mr. Jackson, thank you very much for your contribution on the battlefield. I still want to ask, do you speak Chinese?"

"Well..."

Dunn immediately said somewhat awkwardly.

"Although I fought with the Chinese, I didn't speak Chinese. I was injured not long after I stayed in Burma, but Mr. Wu, I don't think this is an obstacle..."

"Haha! Mr. Jackson, you don't need to explain. I'm just asking a simple question. If you can speak Chinese, that would be the best. If you can't speak Chinese, that's okay. My wife and I both speak English!"

Wu Lin waved his hand and interrupted Dunn.

After saying that, he stood up and extended his right hand to Dunn, who also shook hands with Wu Lin very quickly.

"Mr. Jackson, this job is yours. Can you come directly to work tomorrow?"

"Ah!? Sure, sure! Of course!"

Dunn immediately showed a look of delight.

"Well, don't forget the time tomorrow, I need to get to the studio in Brooklyn to work before 8:00!"

"Okay, Professor Wu, I'll come and drive you early tomorrow morning!"

Wu Lin gave some instructions and then asked Dunn to leave first. He also told his servants not to interview the remaining candidates.
