Chapter 13 Lord Simulator (6)

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." After being enlightened by the lich boss, Luo Nanna's mind suddenly opened up. She drew inferences from one instance and said, "So, for those women who left for a while and came back, can we also take them in again and let them work for us?"

"Of course." Jiang You nodded. "They say when it rains it pours, bad things happen one after another. Even though we helped someone gain their footing the first time, there's no telling if they might stumble again soon. Don't turn away those who come back for help. As long as they encounter difficulties, no matter how many times, we must help them. This is the meaning of building this shelter. Everyone has more than one chance.

"However, our Lich Catering Group is still short of staff. Our stores in Orosei City still need a large number of chefs, waiters, and various logistics staff such as finance, warehouse management, and cleaning. Our group can offer these women a wide range of positions to choose from, and the compensation is quite good. We should train as many of them as possible to join our own group. Those who are illiterate can go to school first, and those who lack certain skills can receive training first... The only exceptions are those with malicious intentions who want to break the law and disrupt order."

Jiang You intends to use this shelter as an incubator for her group's employees. After all, the veteran reserves on Andre and his father's side have been basically digested, and her business empire has just taken shape and can accommodate more people.

Since we have to recruit people anyway, we might as well start with these poor and helpless women and change their fate first.

Moreover, with no one to rely on, they had to rely on their own hard work. This instilled in employees a strong sense of hard work and loyalty. As long as the benefits were adequate, there was no need to worry about well-trained employees leaving with business secrets. It was likely that there was no company in the entire Principality of Huntington that offered better benefits than the Lich Catering Group.

Lonanna had always worried that the shelter's amenities would be too good, attracting lazy, idlers. But Jiangyou had no such concerns. After all, the house and property donated by the Countess of Canberra were enough to support these poor people for hundreds of years. If this mansion was full, newcomers could be moved to other vacant houses.

The sick are sent to the hospital, those with children will also educate their children from a young age, those who are capable will be recruited to work, and those who are not yet capable will be sent to school. As long as they enter the shelter, everyone's future will be clearly arranged by her.

In this case, Jiang You couldn't think of any other reason why someone would choose to work at a shelter instead of the much higher salary, corporate benefits, and generous staff meals offered at the shelter. If such a person existed, it would probably be because they had a lofty desire and pursuit for the cause of helping women and children, and they could definitely support it.

To engage in charity work, one must have a noble, firm, and hardworking heart!

After inspecting the shelter, Jiang You was very satisfied with her new property. As soon as Lonanna sent her to the door, she saw the wind and snow suddenly stop, the sun shone through the clouds and onto the earth, and a group of knights rode down the snow-swept streets, with people cheering along the way.

"The bandits who were always robbing people in the mountains outside the city have been wiped out by Count Andrei and his men!" The messenger trotted along, spreading the news: "The trade route has been reopened and is safe to travel!"

The knights paraded the captured bandits through the streets toward the Kingdom Knights' camp. Andrei left the group and rode his majestic horse, Diego, to a halt in front of Takumiu. "Shall we go home together, my Lord Earl?"

"Okay!" Jiang You extended her hand to him, and Andre carried her onto the horse very neatly. She sat diagonally on the saddle, using Andre's firm and warm embrace as a cushion, resting her head comfortably on his thick chest muscles. "Let's go home and eat hot pot!"

One of them concentrates on the construction of cities and business groups, while the other one is extremely powerful. When he goes out to eat, he will wipe out the surrounding bandits and maintain law and order... It is truly a good match of civil and military, and the work is not tiring.

Upon hearing that Count Jiangyou had come to inspect the shelter, Joanna followed the crowd to the main gate, holding her child and wiping away the tears. She gazed at the two men riding away, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"One of them saved my son and me, and the other avenged our blood feud." Joanna lowered her head and kissed her son's forehead, tears streaming down her cheeks again. "Our days will gradually get better..."

As Takumi's maternal and child shelter business grows bigger and bigger, it soon attracts the attention of Vivian, a rising new councilor in the capital.

So, when spring came and flowers bloomed, Vivian brought Winston to Rosewood County, which Andre had just taken over.

After a winter of renovations, Andrei had dealt with the remaining minor problems on the land. The hunting grounds, castle, and fragrant woods left by the former Earl of Rosewood were all in good shape, making them perfect for a spring stay.

Andrei and Jiangyou would periodically move to a new location to stay, inspecting the local conditions while expanding the Lich Catering Group's sphere of influence. They'd also take the opportunity to travel and enjoy the local food, scenery, and customs. They balanced work and leisure, and truly knew how to live.

Rosewood County is rich in various flowers, plants, and fragrant woods, and is also a major producer of perfume. It also has many hunting grounds. When spring comes and flowers bloom, you can easily find game. However, at the beginning of spring, the animals have been hungry all winter and are very thin, so there is really no meat to eat.

The news that the powerful Pink Cannonball was coming to visit the territory had Andrei feeling uneasy. However, after a few days of recuperation, the allure of reuniting with his sworn brother and reminiscing about the past finally overcame the psychological trauma caused by Vivian.

After not seeing each other for several months, Winston was still as gentle and refined as ever, and Vivian was still as straightforward as ever. However, Jiangyou and Andre could still sense that the time she had joined the Council had brought some subtle changes to Vivian. She had become more confident, more charming, and her actions and words were more calm and thoughtful.

Andre even vaguely saw a hint of Count Saka in her.

Just as he let out a nostalgic breath, he saw Vivian rushing into the restaurant shouting and screaming, following the aroma. The calmness and similarity just now were swept away in an instant, as if it was a brief illusion.

Winston laughed indulgently. "You guys have been running around all this time. She hasn't tasted Jiangyou's cooking in a long time. She really misses it."
