I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

"Factory manager?" Ino was taken aback, then quickly waved her hand and said, "Teacher, I can't do it. I only know how to make potions, I can't manage such a large workshop."

"You're a pillar of the potion workshop now, responsible for receiving orders, coordinating production, and so on. Although you're not the factory manager, you're doing the factory manager's job. Even if you officially become the factory manager, your workload won't increase much," Charlotte said with a smile. "Moreover, the factory manager's commission is calculated based on the total amount of potions produced in the entire potion workshop. You also get a commission on potions produced on other production lines."

"But... I'm worried I haven't done a good enough job," Ino said with some concern.

"No, you will do a great job." Charlotte shook her head, full of trust in her. "Besides you, I can't find a better candidate right now. Eunice is too soft-hearted and not suitable to be the factory manager."

After a moment of silence, Ino finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you, I will do my best to be a good factory manager."

"You can do it." Charlotte nodded, and after Eunice finished the batch of potions she was working on, she announced the news to everyone.

Everyone looked at Ino and applauded.

Kerry and Jacob did not object and both felt that it should be done this way.

"Congratulations, Sister Ino," Eunice said with a smile, also quite happy.

"Eunice, starting tomorrow, you will be in charge of the production line in that workshop. You will be the team leader. Can you guarantee production safety and efficiency?" Charlotte asked Eunice.

"Me?" Eunice was surprised, but met Ino's encouraging gaze and immediately nodded, "Yes, I will try my best."

"Very good." Charlotte gave a few more instructions and then left the potion workshop.

The potion workshop is extremely important; once it's up and running, it's a continuous source of cash cows.

  

On the way back, Charlotte noticed that the person watching him was still there, but Capas had already gone back, so it seemed that he was still considered one of the suspects.

Charlotte didn't care, though. He was certain that Cromwell wouldn't make a move against him anytime soon, otherwise he would incur the wrath of the masses.

Moreover, he wasn't afraid of just a Sky Knight.

He went straight back to 520 Bacca Street, through the main entrance.

"Doctor, you've arrived." Agatha greeted him with a smile and welcomed him into the room.

"Where is your young lady?" Charlotte asked.

"They're upstairs. Shall I inform them?" Agatha asked.

"No need, I can go up by myself." Charlotte walked towards the stairs.

Pushing open the door, I saw Diana and Ruth sitting on the edge of the bed chatting and laughing.

Charlotte closed the door and activated the soundproofing array.

"You're back." Ruth got up to greet him, helped him take off his coat, and hung it on the hanger next to him.

"What are you chatting about that makes you so happy?" Charlotte asked curiously as she sat down on the edge of the bed, her arm around Ruth's waist.

"The textile factory officially starts operations tomorrow. Would you like to attend the opening ceremony?" Diana asked with a smile.

"Of course I have to participate, after all, I'm the boss too," Charlotte said matter-of-factly.

"Tomorrow is a good day, so the clothing store is officially opening for business. Would you like to come and support us?" Ruth asked with a smile.

"I'll come back to support you after I finish attending the groundbreaking ceremony," Charlotte said. "After I'm done supporting you, I have to go back and continue performing surgeries. I've been so busy these past few days, with so many patients coming from Calva that it's almost overwhelming."

"Then just see fewer patients, right? With the drug sales so booming these days, it won't matter if you see fewer patients, will it?" Diana looked at him with concern.

Although he has now become a prodigy and a big boss in the eyes of many, he is still very busy every day and can only rest for a while in the evening.

No, he doesn't seem to rest at night either...

"Since we have the capacity to treat patients, we can't just turn them away. After all, every patient who comes to Abyss Clinic does so because of trust." Charlotte shook her head and smiled. "The clinic is the foundation. My goal is not just to treat these thousand patients, but to make the Physicians' Association tremble because of Abyss Clinic's existence, and to bring down those high-priced, arrogant doctors who are on top of the world."

Diana nodded thoughtfully. This seemed somewhat different from some of her previous understanding, but it was more in line with Charlotte's personality.

"So, are you going to open a clinic in Calva?" Ruth asked curiously.

Charlotte shook her head: "I promised Diana I wouldn't open a clinic in Calva. As long as we make the Abyss Clinic famous, even if patients are in Calva, they will still come to the Abyss, just like the patients they are now."

"Opening a clinic in Calva would be more beneficial to your career, so we can drop our previous agreement," Diana said, looking at him. "I'm serious, not just saying this out of anger."

"I declined Anderson's invitation, and that's the truth. I won't open an Abyss Clinic in Calva; the headquarters will remain in the Abyss," Charlotte said firmly.

Diana smiled, a very happy smile.

"I've been so busy today, I'm all sweaty. I'm going to take a shower. Would any beauty like to keep me company?" Charlotte stood up and looked at the two of them.

The two turned their faces away and remained silent.

"Since neither of you beauties is saying anything, let's go together." Charlotte picked one up in each arm and carried them into the bathroom.

Charlotte had important business to attend to the next morning, so she fed the two of them until they were stuffed like cream puffs and then stopped, thus ending the nightly ordeal.

After daybreak, Charlotte got up, went home, and changed into the gray suit that Diana had made for him.

"Boss, are you skipping work again?" Vivian looked at Charlotte, who was dressed in a suit and tie, and immediately had a bad feeling.

"I have to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the textile factory in the morning, and then the opening ceremony for the clothing store. After that, I'll go back to work at the clinic. It won't take up much of my time," Charlotte said.

Vivian advised, "That would be best. There will definitely be more patients today. If you skip work, we won't be able to finish even if we work until midnight."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you can leave work on time today," Charlotte said with a smile. "By the way, ask your teacher for leave; I'll take you somewhere alone tonight."

"Taking time off? Going somewhere alone?" Vivian frowned, then quickly brightened with anticipation, leaning closer and whispering, "What, are you planning to sneak me on a date?"

"I guess so." Charlotte nodded.

"Okay, I'll skip school tonight." Vivian nodded decisively.

After a quick breakfast, Charlotte went out and rode the Golden Horned King to attend the opening ceremony of the textile factory.

The textile factory covers a vast area and recruited 1000 workers in the first phase. It is the largest factory in the Abyss and also the factory with the most employees.

The first phase of the employee dormitory opposite the factory has been completed.

The buildings are all row houses, four stories high, with shops on the first floor and dormitories on the upper three floors.

The exterior isn't luxurious, but it looks clean and tidy. Inside, there are suites, mainly one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites, totaling exactly 1000 suites.

Each employee has been assigned a dormitory room, and they can bring their families to stay with them.

It's all free for all employees of the textile factory.

This benefit alone surpasses most jobs in the Abyss.

With a thousand households moving in, and many of them being workers with stable jobs, businesses have already moved in.

According to Diana's previous plan, if things went smoothly, the textile factory would have 3000 employees, which would be enough to support a small commercial district.

The garment factories are built next to each other, and there are 300 households there.

The staff dormitory is provided free of charge to the workers, but the shops on the first floor, such as Diana's, can be rented and sold to recoup some costs while also providing convenience for the employees.

If more factories can be built here later, the development prospects are very promising.

This is the first industrial zone in the Abyss, and compared to other small-scale workshops, it's a complete game-changer.

Even Guy moved his blacksmith workshop here.

When Charlotte rode her horse to the open space in front of the textile factory, the female workers had already lined up and even received their start-of-work red envelopes, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

Elizabeth stood on the high platform in an ice-blue dress, exuding exceptional elegance.

Many powerful figures from the Abyss also attended to offer their congratulations, and Roland was already seated in the VIP section.

Charlotte arrived on horseback, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Who is this guy? He's so handsome!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Dr. Charlotte."

"Dr. Charlotte, isn't that our boss too? She looks so good with the big boss, everyone says they're a couple."

"Is Zun Du fake Du?"

The female workers whispered among themselves, their eyes lighting up as they looked at Charlotte.

The guests in the VIP section also stood up and greeted Charlotte with smiles upon her arrival.

Charlotte is now a Sky Knight and has slain a Saint-level succubus. No one would disagree that she is the strongest being in the Abyss.

Even Alfred, the patriarch of the Harriman family, stood up to greet them.

Charlotte didn't care about the others, but she showed considerable respect to Alfred, smiling and saying, "Please have a seat, sir."

This was his wife's grandfather, and from now on he would be his grandfather; he understood that perfectly well.

"It's been a while, Dr. Charlotte, you've become even more dashing," Alfred chuckled.

"You're getting more and more energetic, you look to be in great spirits," Charlotte said with a smile as she sat down in the empty seat next to him.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and things seemed quite amicable.

Diana watched from the side, a smile always on her face.

Most young people would be nervous when they meet her grandfather, but when Charlotte chats with him now, she can tell that her grandfather is a little nervous.

After chatting with Dirk for a few moments, Charlotte looked at Diana and asked, "Is everyone here? When do we start?"

"Everyone's here, just waiting for you to cut the ribbon and start the project." Diana nodded, knowing Charlotte was busy today, so she simplified many procedures and even gave out red envelopes in advance.

"Okay, let's begin." Charlotte nodded.

The cutting of the Harriman Textile Factory sign, accompanied by the sound of celebratory cannons, marked the official start of operations for the textile factory.

Diana spoke briefly, mainly to inspire employees to create a better future with their own hands and to make a commitment to their future.

Charlotte stood beside her, looking at the female workers below the stage, who were between eighteen and forty years old. Listening to Diana's words, many of them couldn't help but cry.

The establishment of the textile factory recruited them, and for the vast majority of them, it changed their fate.

Winter is coming, and they will soon face the predicament of having no food and freezing cold.

Many of them may have to sell their bodies on the streets of Amman to earn food for their families so they can get through the winter.

It was Diana who gave them a decent job, allowing them to earn money with dignity and support their impoverished families.

After a simple opening ceremony, the workers left the site in an orderly manner and returned to the factory to officially begin work.

The ceremony is just a ceremony. The most important thing today is to get the textile factory up and running and produce output, so as to justify the huge investment Diana made in the early stages.

Charlotte pulled Roland aside and asked with a smile, "You don't even want the doctors from the Dr. Truth Clinic who come seeking refuge? Aren't you worried I'll snatch them up?"

"You look down on me," Roland said calmly.

"You know me well, kid." Charlotte laughed, then added, "I may look down on them, but I might not be so sure about Daniel's Medical Center."

Roland nodded: "That's true, so I've taken over all the doctors from the Duru Medical Clinic. Now the capacity of my Fran Medical Clinic has doubled, and the amount of Deep Blue Magic Potions we need will also double."

"No problem, the supply of medicine is guaranteed." Charlotte nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"My father sent me to invite you. There's an Abyss Council meeting tonight, and they'd like to invite you to attend. Is the time convenient for you?" Roland said, looking at him.

"Tonight? I'm really busy tonight." Charlotte shook her head. "Besides, I'm not a councilor. Why would the Abyss Council invite me? You guys can have your own."

Roland said, "I only opened this restaurant because I invited you. If you're not free tonight, we can reschedule. Tomorrow night is fine too."

"You specifically invited me?" Charlotte asked, puzzled.

"It's related to everyone being corrupted by demonic forces." Roland lowered his voice.

"I see." Charlotte said thoughtfully. A small town like Abyss, which is next to Kalva, should be prioritized for being demonized according to the plan to demonize everyone.

He stayed in the abyss and forgot about that.

The main issue is that the Abyss is quite safe, with natural defenses and now the nettle defense system. Is it necessary to demonize everyone?

During the last Red Moon night, the Abyss was not attacked by the beast tide and suffered zero casualties.

Moreover, the guardians of the abyss didn't even make a move; the beast tide completely bypassed them and headed straight for Kalva.

This time, however, Kalva has established a comprehensive nettle defense system. Whether this will lead to the Abyss being attacked by the beast tide is indeed something that needs to be discussed and verified.

"Then let's do it tomorrow night," Charlotte said. Since this was a topic for discussion, he felt it necessary to make an appearance.

After all, Diana was also an elder of the council, so we had to give her face.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, Charlotte exchanged a few polite words with the others and then rode away on horseback.

The whole thing took less than half an hour, which is quite simple for a groundbreaking ceremony.

Diana still loved him after all.

Back on Bacca Street, the grand opening ceremony of Diana Clothing was underway. Ivan and Daphne were both present, and a professional emcee had been hired to liven up the atmosphere.

Ruth was wearing a red halter dress from the store today, which made her fair skin seem to glow. Standing on the high platform, she looked beautiful and confident.

The news of Ruth opening a clothing store was released yesterday, so today the store was immediately surrounded by three layers of people, many of whom wanted to catch a glimpse of Ruth. So, half of them were men.

Of course, some people are hoping that Rose will perform a dance. The inhabitants of the Abyss haven't seen Rose dance for months and are very envious.

However, Ruth didn't seem to have any plans to dance today. As the store manager, simply wearing the store's dress and standing beautifully on the stage was already a visual treat.

"My goodness, Ruth looks absolutely stunning! She looks absolutely gorgeous in that red dress!"

"Does the store sell that red dress she's wearing? I want to buy one too!"

"Girls! Does anyone know what they are? Their clothes are so beautiful! I just saw them in the window, and they're absolutely gorgeous!"

"I've been waiting for over a month, and it finally paid off. I almost went to order one yesterday."

The women also stared at Ruth on the stage with shining eyes, filled with anticipation for the clothing store that was about to open for business.

"When are we going to dance?" someone shouted from the crowd.

"Yes, isn't it time for Ruth to dance? We came to watch her dance."

"Ruth! Jump! Jump!"

Many men then began to stir up trouble.

Ruth frowned slightly as she looked at the somewhat restless crowd below the stage.

"What's going on? What do these people take Sister Ruth for? She's there to be the store manager, not to dance for them."

"Exactly, these people have gone too far!"

On the second floor of the clinic, Hannah and Rachel, whose surgery had not yet begun, stood at the window, watching this scene and discussing it with some dissatisfaction.

Ivan glanced at Rose apologetically. He knew about Charlotte and Rose's relationship, so he couldn't possibly ask Rose to dance. The fact that she was here as the manager was already a great favor.

Before Ivan could explain, a figure suddenly flew over the heads of the crowd and landed on the platform, standing next to Ruth.

Once the people at the scene recognized who had arrived, they immediately fell silent.

Charlotte, dressed in a sharp gray suit, still exudes a considerable aura when she stands on the high platform.

His recent reputation, in particular, has caused the men who had been stirring up trouble to look away, not daring to meet his gaze, and even less daring to continue their commotion.

"Dr. Charlotte is so handsome! That upright posture, those perfect shoulders, that slim waist, it's absolutely amazing!"

"He and Ruth look so good together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

"Dr. Charlotte makes me feel so safe. Just by standing on the stage, those disgusting men don't dare to cause any more trouble."

The women were ecstatic, their eyes sparkling, completely captivated by Charlotte.

Ruth felt instantly at ease when she saw Charlotte suddenly appear. With him standing in front of her, she had nothing to fear.

"Ruth is no longer a dancer on Amman Street. From now on, she will only dance for me. Do you even deserve to see her dance?" Charlotte said, her voice slightly cold as she looked at the crowd below who had been making a fuss earlier.
