I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

It's the time of year for the Velvet County government to recruit people again.

According to the usual practice, a notice of recruiting newcomers is posted at the end of the spring hunting season. As before, you can get the recruitment job form and application form at any county government office.

Due to the high salaries and good benefits of Velvet’s government officials, and the continuation of the initial recruitment conditions without too many requirements for gender, so the number of people who submitted application forms has increased year by year in the past two years, and some core project teams and important The competition for positions in the department is even more fierce, and occasionally a few noble surnames that Lucien is familiar with can be seen in the application form.

It was the kind of aristocrats with a long history of wealth and honour, even in the imperial capital, which made Philoby unable to start when screening resumes, and finally put them all together and handed them over to Lucien for decision.

After Lucien carefully read the resumes from beginning to end, he said that Philoby can be screened according to the normal process. With the average level of training children of these families, the ability to start as a low-level official in Velvet is still Yes, if it's really bad, don't be embarrassed, you can throw it to Pirlo to receive it.

Lucien believed that since their family had instructed them to participate in the official recruitment of Velvet, they would definitely not mind spending a little more money to be a big client in the bank and buy a position as a bank account manager.

After all, those families did not really hope to gain some high power in Velvet. Judging from the candidates they sent and the positions they chose, it was more like the families were spreading risks and leaving a way out——The surnames of those candidates Lucien is very familiar, but the name is to the extent that Lucien vaguely remembers it but basically can't remember it. In other words, it is a small and capable family branch or illegitimate child, or something like Dalton who has a flawed edge figure.

In case something happened to the family, it would not be so noticeable without such a person during the liquidation, and its own ability can also ensure a higher survival rate in the event of an accident.

And Velvet is a good hedging option. First of all, no matter who the final winner of the struggle for the throne is, the lord Lucien, as a former prince who is safe and honest and can make money, will have an advantage in status. He has a very reasonable personality. If he is lucky, maybe the successor they leave behind can be an ordinary official in Velvet and become a springboard for the family's future rise.

Then there is Velveer's excellent geographical location. In this regard, the elders of the big families coincided with Lucien's thinking-when the situation was so bad that they could die, they could also take the risk of crossing the Moon Mountains. On the other side is another country, a no-management zone beyond the reach of the empire.

Velveerd is the safest entrance to the Moon Mountains, and the route to cross the mountains is also the least risky. If you can find a way to hire the Hall tribe as a guide, it is not too difficult a task to go down the mountain alive.

……

Lucien took the opportunity of the interview to personally meet the noble candidates who came with the task of (retaining seeds), but found no outstanding ones, so he asked Philoby to arrange a position for them without any interest. , it’s best to be the one with tight schedules and heavy tasks from one day to nine, nine or six at night, don’t waste the excellent talents raised by the big family’s golden mountains and silver mountains.

However, there is no need to bother them with the core technology projects. Lucien doesn't want the new technology that he spent real money to make wedding dresses for others so quickly.

The ones who participated in Lucien's interview with those aristocratic children who behaved elegantly and decently but could not hide their arrogance at the corners of their brows and eyes, and the only female candidate who survived five trials in this recruitment.

Moreover, she was born in the rare Velvet, her family background was written as a manor farmer, and she was a [none] female candidate in terms of talent.

If an alien identity is added, the personal situation of this girl named Joan Klaus is simply a textbook example of equal rights.

After the last interview was organized by the personnel department, they discussed for two days just about Joan's interview results, so that the news spread throughout the Wilvelde County Government, and her job application form was circulated by various departments for onlookers. , even the most indifferent to gossip and the dullest people have heard that they are likely to have a female colleague who is born in a farming family and has no talent.

Even if she applied for no important department, just the lowest-level intern officer in the relief project, it was amazing enough to get to this point.

In addition, among the same group of candidates, the aristocratic young masters who were born noble and crushed [-]% of the officials in the county government, whether to keep Joanne or not has even become a common issue within the county government, and the officials have their own arguments. .

The overwhelming majority are against it, although there are few but not none who are optimistic about her.

When the top leaders of Lawrence did not express their views, and the officials below could not find a result that could be reported to the top without being picked, the final decision was left to the lord at the top.

Philoby was quite nervous when he put Joan's information among the candidates who needed Lucien's decision. The intern officials are really marginal shrimps in the county government. It stands to reason that they should not occupy the lord. The master's precious time also showed that he and the people under him lacked determination and were suspected of lacking working ability.

Lucien read the other people's information he handed in very quickly, but Joann's document was left by Lucien at the end. He read Joann's written test answer sheet page by page from the personal information he filled out. Feedback with the interview situation, and asked with a smile: "You mean, you can't decide whether to hire her or not?"

Lucien's tone didn't sound like there was any sign of displeasure, and Philoby breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and answered carefully: "Yes, we have discussed about her several times, as you can see in her written test Her grades and interview performance are actually not particularly good, and many officials are also dissatisfied with her background, but we think that if she can reach the current level with her background and experience, she has great potential, and there are recruits to train her value."

"Of course, her written test and interview scores met the requirements for her job application, and she also worked as a helper at the relief center for two years."

On the application form, Joan narrated her personal experience without any concealment—she came from a farmer, worked as a labor laborer for road construction, escaped on the way home and ended up in a relief center, and finally covered herself with a white cloth and dedicated herself to the God of Light .

She learned basic reading, writing and arithmetic in the literacy class of the relief center. The steward of the relief center was kind-hearted, seeing that she was learning harder than anyone else, he made an exception to teach her the format of writing articles and the format that has been popularized in Velvet chambers of commerce. form records.Because there are very few people who can do clerical work at the relief center, Joan then worked as a daily recorder of the relief center under the arrangement of the steward. Make a note of how much you bought and what you bought.

Because of her careful work and hard work, the master in charge of the relief center admired her very much, and even wrote her a letter of recommendation, hoping that the colleagues in charge of recruitment and screening would look up to her and not ignore her excellence just because of her poor and humble background place.

Philoby was also very cautious when reporting this matter to Lucien, trying not to mix his own personal opinion into it—after recruiting for several years, he actually didn't have any opinion on candidates like Joan.That girl is not a difficult one, recruiting her is just an extra salary. Due to her innate conditions, this girl's career prospects are very bleak. It would be great if she can climb from a trainee official to a full-time county official in this lifetime.

If she hadn't covered herself with a white cloth and vowed not to marry for life, she would probably have been brushed off in the first round.

Things are so realistic, commoner girls from peasant households often get married early, no matter how smart and capable they are before they get married, once they get married, they will circle back and forth around their husband's family.

Not to mention the girls from peasant households, he recruited those female officials who were from noble backgrounds or were quite talented, and he did not see the fact that no one could escape this curse.

Philoby didn't want to criticize anything, but there were no more than one female official in the county government who could persist for more than three years, and those who could persist were promoted and raised with the respect and recognition of their colleagues, but more often it was the officials of various departments. The department has worked hard to train the girl for one or two years, and she resigned and returned to the family before she could be alone.

Philoby had no objection to the recruitment of female officials, but when he mentioned the high resignation rate and the resulting waste of training costs, he still couldn't help complaining a little to Lucien.

It's a pity that Lucien doesn't have a good solution to this situation. With the social background here, he can only make internal adjustments through the welfare policy, and try to eliminate the negative emotions of various departments towards the training of female employees. A girl with perseverance, courage and ambition is an opportunity to be seen for her hard work--persist in this way for decades or hundreds of years, wait until the next generation and then the next generation, the policy is implemented smoothly and the effect is as good as it can be, the right time and place In this situation, maybe there will be the dawn of true equality between men and women.

But now, just seeing that the county government has no one-sided objection on Joan's matter, Lucien is already very happy.

At the same time, he became somewhat curious about Joan.

He didn't answer Philoby on the spot whether he wanted to hire Joanne, but put the girl with several other candidates and arranged to sit down with him the next day for a one-on-one chat.

Joann Cross.

Lucien remembered the name.
