Chapter 136 A 360-degree bow
At first, the hotel management was very happy to find that all the souvenirs were taken away at once. They didn’t expect that the souvenirs would be so popular. It must be because of their good service attitude.
But he soon discovered something was wrong. No matter how quickly they replenished the supplies, they would be gone after a while, and sometimes even the boxes were taken away.
Since it was a conference period, there were not many people in the hotel. How could it be achieved so quickly?
It was not until they checked the surveillance footage that they discovered that everyone had moved out alone.
Just when they were furious and thought that a thief had come to the hotel, they discovered that the man was actually the county governor.
The hotel managers were now in a state of annoyance. These souvenirs were all made of silver, and a box of them was not worth tens of thousands of dollars at most. How could the county governor take advantage of such a small thing?
Of course, it was impossible to go to the official's house to demand an explanation, so the hotel graciously sent a few more boxes of souvenirs to Lin Wen, and then set up an automatic dispensing device in the lobby on the first floor. When officials approached, the souvenirs would automatically fall out, every five seconds.
The returns were too low, so Lin Wen lost interest.
But in his room, there are already more than a dozen boxes of souvenirs.
Since Qi Mu had no proof and was afraid that others would not believe him, he decided to move a box out himself.
When a person is selected, a souvenir will be given as a certificate of employment, adding a sense of ceremony and making the recruitment more sincere.
This souvenir is very delicately made, with exquisite craftsmanship and perfect shape. It is full of artistic atmosphere everywhere, and it is made of pure silver. Although it is nothing in the eyes of officials, it is a rare and exquisite work of art outside.
The girl fell in love with it at first sight. She took the anchor with both hands, held it carefully in her palms, and looked at it closely. The pure silver surface reflected a sparkling brilliance under the sunlight, making her big eyes full of shining silver light.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
She bowed repeatedly, without a trace of doubt in her mind. It was indeed a recruitment by the Imperial County Government, it was unique.
Although the stall is a bit simple, the content is still very rich.
When the girl bowed for the third time, suddenly, a crowd of people rushed in and surrounded Qi Mu's stall tightly.
"Brother! Laborers also get 800 yuan a month? And it includes food and accommodation?"
"Boss! Excuse me, where is Changshan County?"
"Little brother! How many people are you recruiting?"
"Do the workers have any demands?"
The crowd was surging, and those in the front were all burly men. Qi Mu pulled Tian Jiajia over and shouted, "Don't push! Don't push! If you overturn the stall, no one will be recruited today!"
After shouting like that, the crowd really quieted down and stopped crowding.
Qi Mu whispered to Tian Jiajia, "There are a lot of people here today, and I'm not prepared. Could you please help me register?"
Tian Jiajia nodded quickly: "Okay."
Qi Mu raised his voice: "Everyone, there are no requirements for labor. All we need is good health, no bad habits, and hard work! We are hiring unlimited people, as many as we can!"
As soon as the words fell, the crowd erupted in roaring noise and moved forward uncontrollably.
Qi Mu suppressed the noise with all his might and shouted, "Changshan County is far away! It's very poor! It's very miserable! It's very remote! You should think carefully before coming here!"
No one left, and it was as if a tsunami had erupted in the crowd.
"I'll do it!"
"I'm willing to endure any hardship!"
"I can do this until dark!"
"I don't want to rest! Keep me going as long as you want!"
Qi Mu deeply regretted not bringing a loudspeaker. He could only shout at the top of his lungs, "Come one by one, maintain order!"
Originally, Qi Mu was planning to give souvenirs to the workers, but seeing the situation, he changed his mind and just gave out a piece of paper with a handwritten name on it as a notice of employment.
At the same time, workers who have completed their employment applications are required to maintain order on site.
This move played a huge role.
As Qi Mu's team grew larger, the order on site became better and better, and the speed of recruiting people became faster and faster. Qi Mu even lengthened the stall so that the staff who successfully joined the County Government Office could start working on the spot, greatly improving efficiency.
However, most of the people at the scene were still applying for labor jobs, and only a small number were applying for staff positions. Qi Mu rejected some of them, but these people immediately applied to become employed workers.
As for the position of administrative officer, no one chose to apply.
That's it. Qi Mu's stall created a huge siphon effect, even attracting people who should have been in the employment market.
Not long after, a group of people in formal attire came running over and started shouting, "Who are you?"
"Are you qualified to recruit people here without permission?"
“What about the city permit?”
"Such good treatment, I'm afraid he's a liar!"
"Don't be fooled!"
No one paid any attention to them, only a few mouthfuls of saliva were spat on the ground.
Because of the noisy crowd, Qi Mu was busy recruiting people and didn't notice the flies outside at all.
The group was squeezed but couldn't get in, and no one paid any attention to them. They were used to being bossy in the job market, so after being treated like this, they were so angry that their faces turned blue and they shouted, "Just wait!"
After a while, a large number of security guards rumbled over.
A senior sheriff, in the lead, shouted through a loudspeaker, "Who is disturbing order here? Don't you know that during the joint meeting of the thirteen states of the empire, rioting is strictly prohibited?"
Qi Mu looked up, but before he could say anything, the senior sheriff waved his hand and said, "It's you, right? Arrest him! Put him in detention for a few days."
Qi Mu hurriedly shouted, "I'm an employee of the Changshan County Government Office! I'm here to recruit people on behalf of Boss Lin... County Chief Lin! I told the management office in advance! I've paid the fee!"
The senior sheriff sneered and was about to step forward when an official suddenly jumped down from behind. He stared at Qi Mu and said in surprise:
"Isn't this County Chief Lin's Chief Computer Network Conferencing Engineer and Senior Computer Language Expert, Lord Qi? Why are you here?"
He suddenly turned around and slapped the senior sheriff with two slaps, almost knocking him to the ground.
"You bastard, who told you that someone was disrupting order here? Master Qi is recruiting a few laborers here, how is that disrupting order? Are you blind?"
The senior sheriff was stunned for a moment, but after all, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, so he immediately realized that he had offended an important person.
He immediately jumped up and gave a huge 360-degree bow: "I'm sorry! Commander Hu! I'm sorry! Commander Qi! I was blind!"
He turned around, straightened his back, and shouted, "Catch these evil thieves who falsely accused good people!"
The security guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, arresting the group of informants from the employment market who followed them, ignoring their cries.
The official bowed to Qi Mu with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Master Qi, I will not disturb you any longer. I will send someone to help you maintain order. I hope you will forgive me."
After saying this, he left in a hurry. As an official who could attend the joint meeting, he was one of Chang Duchang's confidants and was well-informed.
County Chief Lin has safely reached the shore. Not only today, but also in the future, the contact between Changdu Chang and County Chief Lin will inevitably be close.
It is no exaggeration to say that now, County Chief Lin and Chief Chang are a couple in the honeymoon period, and he is just a confidant, so he dare not offend the number one general under County Chief Lin.
Of course, if he knew that the title Lin Wen temporarily gave Qi Mu was just something he made up, he would probably spit blood into his head.
The job seekers were silent as death. Tian Jiajia, who was standing nearby, was stunned as she stared at Qi Mu. She asked in disbelief, "You, you are the chief network engineer at the County Government Office?"
She originally thought that this plain-looking boy was just an ordinary employee, but she didn't expect him to be a big shot.
Qi Mu scratched the back of his head: "No, it's not." He didn't know how to say it reasonably, but the people around him just thought he was being modest.
What could be more authentic than personal certification from a local senior official?
Everyone saw how he was arrogant at first but then humble. The two slaps made everyone present feel a pang of pain in their hearts, but they were also secretly happy. That senior sheriff often bullied them, and everyone was happy to see him get humiliated.
In fact, with such generous conditions, it would be impossible for the job seekers on the scene not to be a little nervous.
Recruitment fraud has become common in recent years. It’s okay to cheat people out of their money, but it would be terrible if they tricked them into selling piglets.
Those two slaps also wiped away any remaining doubts they had.
A job seeker who had been watching from the back murmured, "Really? This is true! I'm going to tell Dazhu and the others! Tell them to stop being slaves!"
"Hurry, tell the workers at the dock! We won't work for that vampire anymore!"
"I, I want to go back and take my whole family with me! Dad, Mom, brothers, and sisters can all work as laborers. They'll definitely live a much better life than here! This isn't heaven at all, it's an abyss!"
So, just like that, the news spread quickly throughout Yaojing Lingdu as if it had wings.
First it was the East District of the Downtown Area, then the West District, South District, North District, and Dock District, then it gradually spread to the Inner City, and finally even to the Upper City.
"Hey! Have you heard? There's a place called Changshan County that's going to be developed on a large scale. I heard they're hiring a lot of people!"
"I heard they're going to dig through the Taixu Mountains!"
"What? The Empire decided to dig through the Taixu Mountains?"
"What? The Empire has decided to launch a large-scale development?"
"What? The Empire has decided to change its strategic direction, open up the Taixu Mountains, and establish a southwest troop transport channel. Is this an attack on the Western Federation?"
"What? The Empire has decided to officially declare war on the whole world?"
The news reached the ears of Changsheng, the mayor of Yaojing Lingdu. Although the story was well-founded, he still scoffed and said, "Nonsense! Don't waste your time sending me such rumors in the future."
After the joint meeting was interrupted, Changsheng returned to his mansion and discussed the current situation with his confidants.
Lin Wen’s words a few days ago made him very excited. This was not just an empty theory, it was also highly operational. Lin Wen even talked about many subsequent developments, as if they had really happened.
After collective discussion, Chang Sheng and his confidants unanimously agreed that it should be Sheng Huaixuan's research results, which was an olive branch extended by Sheng Huaixuan to them.
Lin Wen is the representative they pushed to the front.
Therefore, when Lin Wen passed the test, Chang Sheng immediately decided to send Liu Sheng to contact him. After all, it was related to joining the Supreme Elders Council, and he could not be negligent in the slightest.
Changsheng is only the mayor now. Unless Yaojing Lingdu becomes a super first-tier city, he will not be qualified to wear the top hat of the highest conference representative.
Not having the status of a representative of the Supreme Council means that he is always one step away from the center of power of the empire.
This one step away is like a chasm.
Therefore, the development of Yaojing Lingdu is his top priority.
