Chapter 414: I’ll Do It!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
w.a.n.g Fu’s family returned to the apartment. Just as they put their things away, the building manager came to inform them that they would gather at the People’s Square an hour later. The Great Empress had arranged a recruitment event for them.
The word “recruitment” made the couple’s eyes light up.
In order to get better jobs, the couple also put on the denim clothes issued.
His arm was empty, but it was much lighter. He no longer felt hot.
However, Su Susu was still not used to it, so she found a thin coat and put it on.
Locals also dressed like this. Su Susu looked in the mirror and was quite satisfied.
Ming’er said sweetly, “Mother is so beautiful!”
Su Susu pinched his little face and instructed, “Wait for us at home obediently. Don’t open the door and don’t run around, understand?”
Ming’er wanted to go to the recruitment event, but he knew that finding work was very important to the entire family, so he nodded obediently. “Yes, I won’t go out. I’ll wait for your good news at home.”
w.a.n.g Fu and Su Susu went out. Before they left, they asked the building manager to help take care of their son.
The building manager agreed repeatedly, and they were relieved.
The recruitment event for 200,000 people was extremely lively. There were stalls everywhere, and there was a grand red carpet in the middle. As soon as Bai Wutong appeared, everyone squeezed to the side to look at her.
In a short amount of time, everyone had already deeply experienced the benefits of staying in Carefree City.
They were no longer resistant to women being the empress.
When Bai Wutong appeared, they even knelt down with the local people and shouted, “Greetings, Great Empress!”
Bai Wutong waved at them and said without any delay, “The summer recruitment event officially begins. Go find whatever job you like.”
In the past, the high-ranking officials of the Central Plains would speak a lot nonsense before doing anything. They would move themselves and make the commoners suffer under the hot sun.
The Great Empress was so straightforward. Everyone cheered excitedly and went to find suitable jobs for themselves.
In order to save time, everyone tried to find a suitable position as soon as possible. Positions would be recommended according to their age and gender.
For example, if Su Susu knew how to make clothes, she would be recommended to the textile and clothing factories first.
w.a.n.g Fu was tall, so they would recommend him to mines, sandstone factories, and brick factories first.
As long as the old people were not very old, they could still do easy work.
In order to understand the needs of the new citizens, Bai Wutong also became a professional consultant and was in charge of introducing suitable jobs to the people.
However, as the Great Empress, she had a group of cold-looking dark guards beside her. Even though Bai Wutong revealed a kind expression, no one dared to approach her.
Su Susu was small and was squeezed to the back by the aunties. She did not know when she would be able to get into the queue.
Seeing that there was no one in front of Bai Wutong, she was afraid that she would lose her chance to take on a new job. She finally mustered her courage and stood in front of Bai Wutong.
Seeing his wife stand in front of the Great Empress, w.a.n.g Fu held his breath and hurriedly stood over.
Everyone’s gazes landed on the couple.
It was as if they were admiring them for being so bold.
Su Susu was uneasy, and her hands were trembling. Fortunately, Bai Wutong asked her gently, “Do you know how to make clothes?”
Only then did Su Susu’s nervousness ease a little. She stammered, “Yes, yes. I can make any style.”
Bai Wutong said, “You can go to the textile factory, or the clothing factory, or the stuffed toy factory. The work hours is eight hours a day. You will have seven hours work a day and one hour to teach you how to read. You still have four days of rest every month. The basic monthly salary is one tael. In the future, the monthly salary will slowly increase.”
The cement road that ran through the southern frontier had yet to be completed, and the local market was limited. The production of these things had to wait for the s.h.i.+p to pa.s.s before they could launch in the overseas market.
If Chu Tianbao’s return did not go well, or if Emperor Ling Hui did not acknowledge the Carefree Kingdom at all and wanted to fight them, they would encounter obstacles in entering the Ling Kingdom’s market.
There were also fewer people hired for such non-essential jobs.
Su Susu didn’t know how to choose. She asked carefully, “Is the stuffed toy factory difficult?”
It sounded like something rare.
“None of the three jobs are very difficult. If you pa.s.s the interview, you’ll be able to start work quickly.”
Bai Wutong was very gentle. She gently ate away at Su Susu’s nervous emotions. She thought for a moment and said, “I heard that there’s another job with higher monthly salary.”
Bai Wutong nodded. “The work with a high monthly salary is more tiring. Or you will require a higher level of education and skills to be able to enter more important positions.”
Su Susu was illiterate and did not know any skills. Just as she revealed a trace of embarra.s.sment, Bai Wutong smiled and said, “The monthly salary at the seafood processing factory is three taels. You have to be in charge of transporting and processing seafood. It’s very tiring physical work. You have to work for eight hours a day and only can rest two days a month. The time when the s.h.i.+p returns is affected by various factors. You will often work overtime at the last minute. If you work overtime, there will be an additional pay of 50 copper coins an hour.”
Three taels of silver a month! And an additional pay!
Su Susu immediately wanted to agree to it. Seeing that she was still young, Bai Wutong reminded her, “The seafood processing factory will tire out your body and make you not have the energy to do anything else or time to learn other skills. We have the Qinghe Women’s Technical College. If you master a skill there, you will be a.s.signed a special position.”
As soon as she said that, Su Susu immediately froze. After a while, she asked excitedly, “I can go to school too?”
After giving birth, she was only in her early twenties. She was at the age of a flower bud in the modern world. Why couldn’t she have a new future?
Bai Wutong nodded. “Not only can you learn technical skills, but you can also enter a university, complete your studies in a university, and partic.i.p.ate in the administrative examination. You can become an official like men and serve the commoners.”
Su Susu thought that learning to be a.s.signed a position was already the peak of her life.
She did not expect to be an official like a man!
Who didn’t want to be an official!
She was deeply shocked. Her eyes were blank, as if she could not believe it, but also as if she had been in a dream since she entered the southern frontier.
When the dream shattered, she woke up.
She pinched herself hard. The pain stimulated her nerves. Su Susu said excitedly, “It’s not a dream, not a dream!”
w.a.n.g Fu, who was behind her, did not want her to work so hard. He squeezed her hand and emphasized, “Don’t go to the seafood processing factory.”
Since her husband had already spoken, Su Susu followed her thoughts. “Great Empress, I want to go to the stuffed toy factory!”
Even if there was only one tael of silver a month, it was enough for their family’s expenses.
She could still work hard! She could work hard to learn and change to a better job.
Bai Wutong smiled and gave her directions. “Yes, all the best. Go there and queue up for the interview. Don’t be nervous. You can definitely do it.”
w.a.n.g Fu had heard everything Bai Wutong said to Su Susu.
He felt that he was not cut out for studying. The most important thing now was to buy a house and give his wife and children a good life. If his wife wanted to work hard, he would fully support her.
w.a.n.g Fu went straight to the point. “Great Empress, I want to find a job with the highest monthly salary.”
Strong laborers like w.a.n.g Fu were the ones who were lacking the most in the southern border. Bai Wutong said, “Do you know any skills? For example, woodworking and blacksmithing?”
w.a.n.g Fu shook his heads. Bai Wutong said, “The job that suits you and has the highest monthly salary is mining. It’s five taels of silver a month and has a certain degree of danger.”
Five taels of silver was equivalent to five months of work for others!
There were people who fell to their deaths while walking.. What kind of job wouldn’t it be dangerous? For the sake of his wife and children, w.a.n.g Fu said firmly, “I’ll do it!”
