Chapter 289: Loyal To The Death
“What’s even more ridiculous is that some Minister even said I borrowed Lightning, which would offend the Gods and Gods, angering the Lightning God to strike the people and bring them disaster…”
“And those struck by Lightning all violated the heavenly law and were punished.”
He used to think there was nothing to these words, but now he feels that any upper immortals are all just products of his own imagination. After Junior Brother’s professional explanation last time, he already understood it clearly.
This is a phenomenon and Law produced when nature operates mutually.
“Prince, if you’re feeling upset about this, there’s no need. Because the appearance and use of electricity isn’t something that happens overnight; those things require a long time and prolonged practice.”
“You’ve still got a long road ahead of you!”
Besides, this is in feudal superstitious ancient times, where everyone believes in Ghosts and Gods, so real objects still need to be produced to continue experimenting and researching with professionals.
This person was just as she expected. She originally planned to sell the Patent to him, hoping he’d find people to research and develop the market for this electricity, making who knows how much Silver!
Unfortunately, he has a pure heart for Feng Lan Kingdom, submitted a Memorial to the Emperor, but Emperor Your Majesty didn’t appreciate it and saw it as a tool to suppress him.
Li Xi’er looked at the majestic man before her; his eyes were filled with unwavering determination, a pair of amber eyes sparkling like transparent Glazed Ware.
She suddenly felt a bit unwilling to go through with it, grabbed his arms with both hands and shook him vigorously,
“Feng Qingcheng, wake up! This Generator can make you rich enough to rival a country. In the future, when it’s developed across the nation and even other countries, that Patent will belong solely to you!”
“No need!”
“Think it through! This is a mountain of gold and silver!”
“Ha! What does this Prince need with so much Silver?” The man looked at her indulgently!
“For me, Silver can’t compare to the people of Feng Lan Kingdom living in peace and contentment!”
“Alright.”
This fool! She regretted it. Last time she told him to seek welfare for the underprivileged commoners, she had misunderstood him—he was loyal to Feng Lan through and through!
That evening back home, Li Xi’er buried her head and wrote a bunch of Pamphlets in one go, dozens at a time. This was really not easy—her hand was so sore. These Pamphlets mainly listed recruitment positions and related job requirements, to be distributed to on-site personnel later…
The next day, early in the morning, she and her Master and Servant trio left the residence. Even Princess Luoning’s visit to Imperial Consort Dowager went unnoticed by her.
She and Honglian went straight to the recruitment site first. Recruiting people couldn’t wait.
Of course, she sent Zisu ahead to deliver some breakfast to Godmother and check if she needed any Help.
She then took Honglian to the recruitment site, the two of them dressed as men to go there.
Honglian had a fiery personality and a quick, eloquent mouth, perfect for helping her distribute Pamphlets! She planned to finish recruiting in the afternoon, then go see Godmother.
Upon arriving, she first rented a Stall, laid out White Paper on the table—this paper was for registering and recording employee information.
On one side wall, she posted an introduction to “Heng Can” Glazed Ware, so everyone would know exactly what Heng Can did, and see if it suited their own situation.
Honglian arrived, helped her set up all the Things that needed preparing, then started handing out Flyers amid the bustling crowd.
Shouting: “Heng Can Glazed Ware is recruiting! Pay and benefits all provided in full. If you’re interested and feel your abilities meet the requirements listed here, come up front to find our Steward for an interview!” She conveniently pointed toward Li Xi’er ahead.
Soon, people started coming to the Stall one after another to inquire. They’d heard a bit about Heng Can Glazed Ware these past few days—was it the Heng Can Glazed Ware they were thinking of?
After confirming the information repeatedly with Li Xi’er, these people got eager to try. Some ran off to the old factory site previously owned by Cao Wen to inquire, only to be told they didn’t handle Recruitment—go find the Owner!
They didn’t know where to find the Owner or the Steward for interviews, but now they’d run into them here.
“Steward Li, does this designer position recruit Women?”
Li Xi’er interviewed about ten Men, keeping one decent Man as Project Team supervisor. Two were pretty good for Testing Team staff, and one meticulous one for Quality Inspection Team staff!
While she was thinking, suddenly a Woman came forward to apply!
Li Xi’er sized up her attire and appearance: simple, but with a cherry blossom in her hair, and a Silk hairband fixing her hair to one side on the left—very feminine. The skirt’s front and back design was novel, perfectly showing off her curvaceous figure!
“Mm, yes we do. As long as your designs fit Heng Can Glazed Ware’s needs, I’ll hire you—how’s that?”
“Then Steward Li, what kind of things do I need to design?”
Li Xi’er thought for a moment: “Alright, here’s what I want: design Glazed Ware as a decorative item. Can you sketch a design draft?”
“Of course!”
A hint of smile appeared in the Woman’s eyes. Honglian led her to a side table, where she picked up the White Paper and paints, brushes that Li Xi’er had prepared, and began designing seriously.
While she designed, Li Xi’er continued interviewing others.
Today they recruited six in total. The one who satisfied her most was that female Designer Ren Lingling just now—quite fateful, both sharing a “Ling” in their names like her own.
Li Xi’er looked at the paper in her hand, unable to put down those two pairs of colorful Glazed Ware earrings on it!
She’d asked for one pair, but she designed two.
One pair had teardrop-shaped Glazed Ware beads hanging below, oval and mainly bright red with embedded multicolored hues!
The other pair had round Glazed Ware beads below, shaped like a pair of light pink Peaches!
This Ren Lingling was indeed good; both pairs she designed were beautiful. From the interview, Li Xi’er felt her adaptability and management skills were also strong. Who says Women are inferior to Men? She planned to make her Design Team leader!
With this leader, she could actually hand over recruiting Design Team staff to her.
As for the Project Team, it could go to Project Team Steward Shen Ningyuan.
For other departments, tomorrow she’d first recruit Stewards, then let them do the hiring. Once found, she’d do a unified re-interview!
After finishing today’s recruitment, she deliberately left a bit early to go to Godmother’s. She had Honglian return to Yu Qing Palace first.
At Godmother’s home, Zisu had already left. The Clothes in the Yard were collected—probably Zisu’s Help. The ground was swept, the medicine decocted and placed on the table in the room. She’d made and eaten lunch before leaving—this girl really came to Help.
“Godmother, how are you today?”
“Hehe, aside from my arm still hurting a bit, everything else is fine!” Granny Dou said with a smile.
“Xiao Xi, that Young Woman who came today is great. Godmother has to ask something I shouldn’t: is she the Young Woman you like?”
“Ah?” Li Xi’er was stunned, then burst into giggles. “Godmother, what are you thinking? She’s just a friend I know!”
“A friend? How would a friend be so kind as to visit an Old Woman like me?” Granny Dou still didn’t believe it, her face full of doubt.
“Xiao Xi, this Zisu girl seems diligent and capable to Godmother, good-natured too, and pretty as a peach. Don’t let her down!”
Granny Dou saw Zisu dressed as a maidservant, but the Clothes were high-quality. Though her appearance matched, her godson was just a Traveling Doctor’s child—alas, it made her a bit uneasy, fearing she’d do something wrong!
“Hehe, I know, Godmother. Don’t worry, I, Li Xiaoxi, won’t! She’s really just a friend I know!” Li Xi’er patted her chest.
“Alright.”
