More than a thousand people gathered in the central square of the mine.
Upon seeing the young woman standing on the high platform in front, the crowd was not particularly surprised or repulsed, except for being amazed by her beauty and intimidated by her innate regal aura.
In this era where the strong are respected, there are far too many individuals who appear extremely young but possess terrifying combat prowess.
There are also too many people standing on high places, looking down on these scions of wealthy families from the lower classes.
Moreover, a few days ago, the new manager had already held a meeting with all of them, saying that the mine had changed hands and that the owner was a top-tier noblewoman.
So everyone glanced at it, then quickly lowered their heads, stood obediently, not daring to look any longer, let alone speak, and even their breathing became cautious.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Jin Shangyue immediately understood.
While the work at the mines doesn't treat people like slaves, it still requires signing indenture contracts.
She is now the new mistress of these people, holding their lives in her hands, so naturally they are all very obedient and dare not cause any trouble.
Jinshangyue felt that some of the systems implemented after the world's advancement were indeed incredibly convenient for those at the very top.
"As you may have heard, this mine has changed hands."
"I am your new boss, Jinshangyue. I have summoned you here today simply to meet each other."
"Continue with the mining operations as before. Although the boss has changed, the job content remains the same."
"The mining and extraction of energy fossils is of paramount importance, and I hope everyone will work diligently."
"As long as you work hard and have no ulterior motives, you will definitely not be shortchanged in terms of salary and benefits."
Jin Shangyue paused for a moment before continuing.
“I’ve looked into the contracts you signed before. Because the jobs in the mine are so special, the people we hire all sign permanent contracts.”
Although no one knew why the new boss suddenly brought up the matter of indenture, their anxiety and unease grew stronger.
To everyone's surprise, the new boss's next words took an unexpected turn, leaving everyone both astonished and overjoyed.
"I can have you all sign new contracts. It won't take a lifetime. All of you here only need to work for me for fifty years to regain your freedom. You can choose to stay or leave as you see fit."
"If you choose to resign and leave in the future, the mine will give you a substantial resettlement allowance as a reward for your hard work for the mine over the years."
"!!!" Everyone looked up in shock, their eyes filled with excitement and disbelief.
Many people even doubted that they had misheard.
Wang Chi, who was waiting not far away, was also full of surprise and astonishment.
The mineral resources controlled by various powerful families and factions are the most important resources and must be kept strictly confidential.
Therefore, all workers in the mines sign a life-or-death contract. Once the contract is signed, it is for life, without exception.
If one day I can leave the mine, it will definitely be when I become a corpse.
After all, once the location of a resource mine, along with its true information, is leaked, it will attract countless covetous individuals eager to plunder it.
Jin Shangyue smiled faintly: "Not only that, your daily salary will also be increased by 20% on the original basis."
"Daily performance, salary, and rewards will also be improved and changed."
"You can find out the specifics once the new employee benefits are released."
"As long as you are on duty, work wholeheartedly for the mine and do your job well for me, you will definitely have a good life in the future."
"I'm not saying I'll make you superior people, but with enough wealth, you can buy a house, hire one or two servants, and live a comfortable life."
The crowd's initially numb gazes gradually brightened, revealing a hint of hope and anticipation.
Wang Chi watched, feeling relieved but also incredibly impressed with the new boss.
She genuinely cares about people at the bottom of society and truly knows how to win people's hearts, making them want to risk their lives to work for her.
After offering sweet treats and tempting promises, the inevitable consequences are the harsh ones.
Jin Shangyue's expression turned cold, her smile vanished, and her stunningly beautiful face instantly gained a cold and dangerous aura.
"Of course, if anyone dares to be unruly, has improper thoughts, sells out the mine, or betrays me, their fate will be very tragic."
"You will be implicated by your relatives and friends, and they will be reduced to ashes and their souls scattered along with you. They won't even have the right to be reincarnated in the underworld."
Everyone's hearts tightened suddenly, as if enveloped by a chilling killing intent. Instantly, their faces turned deathly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down their cheeks.
As a chill ran down my spine, my very soul trembled.
A single thought was deeply etched into the souls of everyone at that moment.
That means you absolutely cannot betray this new boss, and you absolutely cannot do anything that would let down the mine or the new boss.
"We will never betray! We will never sell out the mine, and we will never betray our boss!"
Yes! Never betray!
...
Countless people shouted their guarantees in unison.
An invisible shackle formed a mark and struck everyone present.
If anyone betrays Jin Shangyue in the future and tries to do something to wrong her, they will be the first to suffer the consequences and die a terrible death.
This is why Jin Shangyue insists on inspecting all the industries and meeting with everyone who works for her.
