Chapter 40 (2/2)
Fiona murmured. If Donne's strength was all shown, who would dare to play Ellington's idea?
”For the time being, I'll work overtime at night, get out the distillers, move to the warehouse tomorrow, recruit good people and start training.”
”OK.”
Donne went to Edgar's and got some iron ingots. When he came back, he began to get busy.
It's no good not to work overtime. After training them how to use the distiller tomorrow and determining the process technology, all the metal farm tools will be ready the day after tomorrow. When those farmers start with the metal farm tools, they will guide Edgar and Brian to start manufacturing waterwheel.
The waterwheel is very important to Ellington at present. If we can't replenish the water in the field in time, the harvest of this year's harvest month is estimated to be terrible. Many people may starve to death in winter - this is not alarmist.
The next day, as soon as the news of Donne's recruitment of workers was released, a group of people came to apply for it.
Not to mention that Donne's salary is very attractive. Just working for the Lord is enough for them to break their heads.
Fiona snapped, ”don't squeeze! Line up! Who squeezed will be disqualified directly!”
At the command, the next line is neat. Everyone doesn't want to lose the job opportunity.
”The Lord has an order. Because the site problem has not been solved, only ten people are recruited for the time being. In addition, due to the requirements of this job, the age is limited to under 30 and over 15. Those who do not comply with the rules can go. When the candy factory is completed in the future, the number of people will be expanded again, and everyone will have job opportunities at that time.”
Hearing this request, some over aged people had to leave. Before those who stayed could get excited, Fiona said: ”The Lord also ordered that in order to provide help to families living in poverty, priority should be given to this job opportunity. Those who have a large burden and live in poverty should be recruited fairly when the enrollment is expanded in the future. Please understand.”
Originally, Donne thought the second request would make these people quarrel, but unexpectedly, they all understood very well and offered to let out those people who knew and lived in poverty.
It surprised Donne.
After two rounds of screening, there are not many people left. After counting, there are 13 people, all of whom are women.
Prandar is very dangerous, so the mortality rate of men who often go out is very high, and it is normal that there are more women and fewer men. Generally, a man will find a means of making a living, and there are only these helpless women left.
They are from 15 to 20 years old. One of the most common characteristics is that they are yellow and thin, very thin, and their clothes are worn and patched.
Donne recognized these people. They were the most active people in collecting Mint grass yesterday. Now they still have bags in their hands. It is estimated that they continue to collect Mint grass not because of the recruitment here.
After a while, Fiona came to Donne with a embarrassed face and said, ”Lord, the lives of these girls are very difficult, and they all need this job very much. It's hard for me to remove any three people, or... You choose?”
Donne is speechless. This girl, if you don't want to be a bad person, let me be it?
Don't you know that employees carry the pot for the boss?
If you don't let the boss hide the rules and don't help carry the pot, you will lose your job on earth
Donne stepped forward. The thirteen girls in front looked at Donne with a worried face. They all knew that Donne's words could determine their fate.
With this job, they can eat enough, wear good clothes, and spend this winter smoothly. Without this job, it is likely that when winter comes, it will be their doomsday.
”You...”
Hearing Donne speak, thirteen people were all worried.
Donne said very simply, ”they're all hired.”
”Ah?”
They were stunned by the unexpected words.
”Lord...”
A thin little girl said timidly, ”didn't you say that only ten people should be recruited... If the Lord is embarrassed...”
”So,” said Donne, pointing to his nose, very seriously, ”I'm the Lord. I'm in charge. I say a few moves. You've all been hired - of course, don't blame me if you don't pass today's training.”
”Yes!”
Thirteen people nodded fiercely and shed excited tears. If the Lord gave them a chance and they couldn't grasp it, they would have to wait for them to die.
”Let's prepare for training... That little girl, don't cover your stomach. I heard the noise.”
Donne's words made the thin girl very embarrassed: ”yes, I'm sorry, Lord...”
Donne was speechless. ”Just say I'm sorry?”
This frightened the little girl, and she fell on her knees to Donne. ”I know I'm wrong, Lord. Please forgive me! I really need this job!”
”Well, what do you mean to forgive or not, Tina, arrange breakfast for them! How can my people be hungry!”
The little girl was stunned, looked at Donne, and shed tears again.
Lord, you are really a good man
