Chapter 126: Kisaragi’s Struggle (Part 1)
Fengyang County City, Ruyifang Market.
The most prosperous market town in this county town had reopened a few days ago. However, the word "Ruyi" in front of the market town's gatehouse had been replaced with "Kunlun", indicating that the owner of this place had changed.
The shops in the market town are still the same as before.
Even the shop owners and clerks have not changed much from when Ruyifang was there, but the whole market is a bit more lively than before.
It seemed as if all the people in the county town had come here.
The reason is very simple.
When Kunlun Market opened, it decisively and straightforwardly offered discounts on goods in all the shops in the market, with some encouragement from the government.
This place, which had just experienced a night of chaos not long ago, has become prosperous again.
"I've looked at yesterday's accounts. Basically, there are no major problems. You guys did a good job."
The wasteland female warrior Julie changed into a beautiful skirt and wore a pearl pendant. Except for her strange short hair, her dress was no different from that of a local noble lady.
But it is still a bold style.
The collar of the long dress was wide open, and the tube top was worn very low, revealing a patch of white. The hem of the dress was open like a cheongsam, and the two long legs were a beautiful sight as she walked.
But behind her, several managers of the market town lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the new accountant.
It’s not that Julie looks evil.
In fact, after washing off the smoky makeup, this wasteland female warrior is really beautiful except for her rough skin.
She has mixed-race features.
It's very similar to the style of the ladies in South America in Jiang Xia's previous life.
There was a period of time when the current head shopkeeper of Kunlunfang, Uncle Liu, was completely fascinated by her, which fully proved that the appreciation of beauty is the same in all worlds.
The reason why these former managers of Ruyifang were afraid of Julie was because of her strong business ability.
She was borrowed by Jiang Xia from Rogge to help the fourth brother take over the Ruyifang business. It only took one morning to settle the accounts of Ruyifang for the past three years.
From those complicated figures, several guys who embezzled the money were found out.
Those unlucky guys are now doing hard labor in mining in Fengshan.
In the following days, he directed the fourth brother to clean up the Ruyifang market with a quick and decisive attitude, exiled many guys with mediocre abilities, and promoted a group of people.
Relying on the ancient tactic of "one stick, one date", he soon brought nearly a thousand people in Ruyifang City under control.
To Julie, this was nothing.
When the Black Hand Society had not yet fallen out with the Eternal Life Society, she was the Black Hand Society's logistics director. She was solely responsible for the allocation of materials to multiple laboratories and the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the entire Black Hand Society.
Although he was later forced to pick up a gun and became a desperate warrior in the wasteland.
But the old business is not lost yet.
But this kind of work, which was nothing to Julie, had shocked the old managers of Ruyifang, as they said privately.
Mr. Zhu is tough and ruthless, and he can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He is a real ruthless person.
The fourth shopkeeper at least tried to reason with them.
But as long as Mr. Zhu catches us... hehe.
The accounts were checked in the morning, the problem was discovered at noon, and the person was gone in the evening.
In less than a few hours, the fate of many people was changed. Moreover, it was useless to ask the fourth shopkeeper to plead for mercy. The fourth shopkeeper even made it clear that he would not be in charge of the accounts.
Mr. Zhu Da is entirely responsible for this aspect.
So rumors began to spread that Mr. Zhu was actually the "boss's" concubine or something like that. As for who the mysterious "boss" was, no one knew.
Everyone just knew that the fourth shopkeeper always spoke of the boss in a respectful manner.
Obviously.
The mysterious "boss" is the real owner of this huge Kunlun Square.
"The accounts these past few days are very clean, which shows that you are still capable of doing things. You couldn't do it well before because you just didn't want to do it."
Julie stood at the window, looking at the bustling market not far away.
Ordinary people were coming and going on the streets, and some children were gathering around the vendors selling candied haws, chattering and asking for candied haws.
This was the idea of the fourth brother. He gave the candied haws to children for free to make the market more lively and to prove his "ability" to the boss.
How much does a string of candied haws cost?
The real big thing is to create the lively scene that the boss wants to see.
Julie also liked the scenery.
Especially when she saw the happy expressions of those children in tattered clothes, a fleeting smile would always appear at the corner of her cold mouth.
"Starting tomorrow, all the accounts of the shops in the market will use the new standards. I have already sent you the specific docking process and account recording method.
Go back and study carefully and do it with all your heart.
The Ruyi Market has been sorted out, but the takeover and inspection of several large markets in other counties has just begun, and the number of external managers has not yet been determined."
Julie turned around, not caring at all about exposing her breasts. She picked up the ladies' cigarette on the table and leaned comfortably on the exquisite armchair.
A maid immediately brought a lighter.
Just a tap.
Then he lit a cigarette for Mr. Zhu .
"You guys are all the ones I picked, and you are the most capable ones. Don't let me down, and don't let the boss down."
Julie said casually, holding a slender cigarette with smoke in it.
Several managers nodded immediately.
If you look closely, you can see a faint blue glow in the hair stubble near the left ears of these managers, which proves that they are truly "our own people."
"Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
Julie blew out a smoke ring and asked lazily.
Several managers looked at each other and discussed for a few words on the chip communication that they were not familiar with. Then the oldest one stepped forward, bowed to Julie, and said:
"Master, we have all received the help of the immortal family's secret treasure, and we are all confident that we can do business well, but there is one thing that is unclear."
"explain."
Julie was already used to the strange names these locals gave her. She flicked the ash off her cigarette and said something. The steward then said in a deep voice:
"Master, we have been granted the secret treasures of the immortals, which allow us to do calculations, broaden our horizons, and pass on secret messages. The accounting statistics that used to take three or four days to do can now be completed in less than half an hour.
When doing the work, it is as if he is 20 or 30 years younger.
As for the fellows under his command, those who were originally smart became more handy with the secret treasure, and those who were originally stupid became smarter with the secret treasure.
What's more, they obey each other and benefit from each other, and all matters, big and small, are handled clearly and properly.
The stall, which was supposed to take a month to close, was reopened in less than seven days.
I just don't understand.
Such a good thing, why don’t you let everyone in Kunlun Square use it?
If we do this, we won't have to recruit new people, and we won't have to increase expenses. The current staff is enough to take over Ruyifang."
"Ah, that's what you're talking about."
Julie understood immediately.
These managers were talking about the chips implanted in them.
Judging from the technological level of this era, this chip is definitely Zenith technology. Even if it is a chip used by slaves, it can bring about a crushing efficiency improvement when used in commercial applications.
She said in a strange tone:
"Do you think promoting the 'Struggler' chip is a good thing?"
"Of course it's a good thing."
The steward stood up straight and said calmly:
"If we use such a good thing on our own people, we can use one person as two people. Not only can we save money, but it will also be more convenient for our subordinates to use.
Are we not afraid that they will cheat and embezzle money?
Why not? "
“But this isn’t a good thing.”
Julie wanted to explain, but finally shook her head. She waved to the stewards and said:
"Forget it, go and do your work. I will pass your suggestions on to the boss."
The stewards didn't even greet him, but turned and left immediately, less restrained and more direct than before.
Looking at their backs, Julie shook her head.
Slave chips have many advantages, such as being almost plug-and-play, having strong obedience and improved efficiency, but they cannot be promoted on a large scale because they will take over part of the human brain.
In other words, it will replace part of the thinking of the human brain.
It's okay in the short term, but over time, it will wipe out ordinary people's creativity, imagination, and even self-awareness.
It is not a big problem for ordinary laborers to use it, and it can indeed greatly improve efficiency.
But if it is used by business managers who are responsible for decision-making, it will easily cause trouble. Rigid thinking may not sound serious, but if it happens on a large scale, it will be quite troublesome.
"When the next batch of chips is produced, I will replace them all for you."
Julie whispered:
“It’s time to remind the boss about the flaws in the slave chips. Or, maybe we can set up an internal promotion mechanism and replace the chips layer by layer as part of the employee benefits?
Well, that’s a good idea.”
"Sir, the fourth shopkeeper is here."
Just as Julie was thinking, a pleasant voice sounded in her ears. Julie looked up and saw a beautiful face with a bit of charm.
"Well, Kisaragi."
Julie chuckled and asked:
"Have you thought about what I told you before?"
"that……"
Ruyue, the prostitute sent by Jiang Xia to work here , felt a little confused. She whispered:
"Sir, I'm willing to do it, but I'm afraid I won't do it well and will ruin your business."
"It's just to help me with the accounts."
Julie waved her hand nonchalantly and said:
"Among the people I've taught, you're the fastest learner and have strong working abilities. You're born to be a housekeeper. Haven't you been doing all this these past few days?
There was no trouble.
That's all.
Starting tomorrow, you will take over as the accountant of Ruyifang Market."
At this point, Julie stretched her body and said:
"Ah, I've been here for so long that my bones have become loose. I really can't adapt to this wonderful world."
Ru Yue did not leave.
Instead, she pointed at Julie's chest with a blushing face. The latter looked down, and the little pink strawberry ran out mischievously.
Julie pulled at her bra nonchalantly.
She said:
"This dress is too complicated. It looks good, but it's too pretentious and not comfortable at all. Go ahead and ask Lao Si to come in."
Ruyue was still worried, so she reached out to help Julie straighten her dress, then she swayed her waist and retreated, asking the fourth brother to go in and talk to Julie's steward.
He walked towards the accounting office.
I was a little excited, but also a little nervous.
How could she, a prostitute who was trained to be a singer since childhood, end up being the housekeeper of Kunlunfang market?
She felt extremely stressed when she thought that she would be in charge of the accounts of such a large market town starting tomorrow.
This is much more difficult than singing and playing the piano for the guests in the yard.
It's not difficult to coax a man.
My mother taught me since I was a child.
But now I am in charge of the accounts, which is a huge responsibility. If I make a mistake by mistake, I might upset my boss...
Ruyue shuddered suddenly.
Jiang Xia's moody face appeared in her mind again. The shadow that Jiang Xia left on her last time had not yet dissipated.
It seems that the boss doesn't like women.
Even though I, a pure prostitute, was naked in front of him, he was unmoved and even said that he appreciated the beauty of wisdom and independence.
etc……
Ru Yue stopped suddenly.
She looked back at Mr. Julie's room, then looked at the accountant behind her, her beautiful eyes thoughtful.
perhaps.
Is the boss hinting at something?
He likes women like Ms. Julie who are heroic and capable as well as men. He thinks about how he used to rely on selling his body to make a living.
Compared with Mr. Zhu who is so capable, it is indeed a bit too frivolous.
No wonder the boss hates throwing himself into his arms.
If that's the case, then the boss doesn't seem to be as bad as I think, and to be honest, I don't hate my current life.
You are not an object.
I also don't like being treated as an object and criticized by men.
It's not shameful to make money and support yourself with your own abilities. As for showing up in public and keeping separate genders, you were born a prostitute, so why do you care about these things?
Um.
Thinking about it this way, the boss must be a good person.
Thinking of this, Ruyue pursed her lips immediately. It was the boss who gave her a new life.
No longer having to make a living by selling smiles as she did in the past, she wondered if she should tell her boss the secret that she had accidentally discovered before.
But, will the boss think she is meddling?
