People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

But why does Ernst feel this way?

In fact, not only Ernst found it abstract, but Ms. Yara, the head of personnel at Rhine Life, also found it abstract.

Just like Justin's expression when he received Christensen's task to "refine the business details of the collaboration with Sherag," Yara's expression when she received the task from Christensen was also: "Huh? Me?"

How could she have ever been assigned to recruit civil servants?

It's important to understand that civil servants are the machinery that keeps a country running smoothly. Not only are the qualifications of personnel very high, but sometimes background and family information are also required. This is completely different from Rhine Life's recruitment strategy.

The fields are different, you know? It's like both are about applying glue, but you're hiring a civil engineer, while they're looking for a Japanese adult film actor. Can you call that the same thing?

As a large company, the only similarity between Rhine Life's recruitment and that of recruiting civil servants is that they can both issue an announcement and wait for applicants to flood in.

Yara assumed that Sherag was the same way. But Hinterlea, who was in charge of the coordination, gave her a rude awakening.

"Ah, Ms. Yara may not be very familiar with the situation of Sherag."

Having followed Ernst around, she had picked up some of the terminology he used, so explaining it now was a piece of cake:

"Our country practices a flat management structure, with the Sherag government directly governing all Sherag residents, ensuring the most direct democracy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently only has one minister, and it is now confirmed that the Duchy of Windermere will be the one to formally establish diplomatic relations. But you can rest assured, our boss is a very nice person. He often takes people on trips, and every year there are year-end bonuses, including three baskets of feathered beast eggs, rice, flour, and cooking oil, as well as a Jeragand stone that he personally blessed."

Hinterlea proudly pulled the necklace from her clothes; the small stone engraved with the Jeragund emblem looked iridescent black under the indoor lights.

"I forgot to tell you, our boss is not only the prime minister but also a holy son. The Jeragund stones he blessed are truly efficacious!"

Yara: "......."

If she remembered correctly, when Hinterlea introduced herself, she should have mentioned that she was from Kazimierz and had been a gladiator knight before.

Yara found it hard to imagine how a knight lady living in a country like Kazimierz could have become like this in less than a year after arriving in Sherag.

Look at her, look at her! She's lying through her teeth! And she doesn't even blush or feel a pang of shame!

This is what she didn't understand. In Ernst's view, this was progress!

Regardless, former Blue Cardwood celebrity Yara must have felt a pang of conscience when she wrote each HR message attached to the job posting after completing the normal recruitment process.

The term "drawing" refers to the flat management structure of the state, meaning that ordinary people who are directly involved in national policies have little status.

The second option is to become a powerful figure in the diplomatic arena, specifically to become a diplomat in the Duchy of Windermere. Even Colombians know that the Grand Duke implements strict military management in his court, and people call their offices "command posts." Wouldn't you be subjected to crazy military training if you went there?

The "three draws" refer to generous welfare benefits, including rice, flour, cooking oil, eggs, and a blessed stone for the Lunar New Year. Frankly, with such a meager package, you might be able to recruit people in a remote, undeveloped area, but in Tremont, it's somewhat of a pipe dream.

Oh, you can't say that. You can't recruit migrant workers for 2,000 yuan, but you can definitely find a lot of college students for 2,000 yuan.

No wonder Hinterlanda made a special emphasis on the Prime Minister's requirement that "recent graduates be given priority."

A pang of conscience struck Yara, who handed the "beautified" job posting and message sample to Hinterlea and then "eagerly" pushed her out of the office, telling Hinterlea not to keep Ernst waiting.

She didn't stay there either; she turned around and went to the ecology department, simply to chat with Muirsey and relax.

So, Hintelia took her "results" to Ernst, who had just finished discussing with Levy.

Ernst's hesitant expression made Hintria feel uneasy, and she asked with some concern:

"Boss, is there anything wrong with it? I can change it."

Ernst pondered for a long time, then nodded:

"It definitely needs further revisions."

"It doesn't feel attractive enough. Besides, the job posting only mentions the need for ordinary civilian staff and diplomats, but we have needs in other departments as well."

“Lola’s engineering department is about to connect with Rhine Labs, and she’s a bit overwhelmed by the workload alone; she needs more manpower. And then there’s Joyce’s finance department. Although she doesn’t talk much or show her face much, our government’s normal operation depends on her for every single payment. Someone has to help her out, right? Even if we take a step back, can you really handle your front desk work, Hinterlea?”

Ernst had seen Hinterlaya handle many Sherag people who wanted to come to the government for prayer ceremonies several times by herself.

Putting everything else aside, Ernst was certain that Hinterlaya was the person in the current Sherag government besides himself who was most familiar with the Jeragand hymn, even more so than Horhaia!

Hintelya nodded somewhat shyly.

She didn't actually find her job that tiring. In any case, dealing with a group of simple, honest old men and women was much simpler and more reassuring than trying to "lose gracefully" in the Knights Arena and then lying to her few fans after the game, promising to win next time.

At least she doesn't have to deceive herself anymore; at least she won't dream at night of standing on the podium one day only to be exposed and called a fraud and a match-fixer by countless people.

On this land, the greatest fortune is being able to put one's mind at ease.

But Ernst's opinion does have merit. Given the overall positive outlook of the Sherrag government, future government reception duties will certainly require more staff.

Don't you see that there are dozens of "health officials" in the British government alone?

Don't get me wrong, this health official doesn't refer to someone who manages public health. Their work is more practical, usually involving catching rats, sweeping stairs, and cleaning coffee machines.

"Then how should we change it?" Hinterlea asked.

Ernst considered it for a moment and replied:

"Since the job requirements have increased, let's add some more content to the message accordingly!"

He paused, then listed:

"Would you like to lay the first brick of a great city with your own hands, and leave your name among the builders of a wonder that will go down in history?"

Do you also want to manipulate financial leverage, tilting the scales of wealth to your liking?

Or perhaps there's an opportunity to chat with people like Mr. Islam Witt (Speaker of the Ursus Empire) or Governor Wei Yanwu, and plan their schedules and itineraries?

Finally, I'd like to add, "In Kjerag, anything is possible!"

He nodded: "That should do it."

Hinterlea nodded admiringly: "I see! Does the boss have such a grand vision for the future of Sherag?"

Ernst smiled and nodded, watching her leave.

Hope, it's like those adult undergraduate programs that scam people out of money. To say it doesn't exist is certainly biased; the government even recognizes it. But to say it's necessarily equivalent to reality is also not entirely true.

In short, everything is subject to the actual product.

Chapter 111 Jesston's Second World War!

Jeston is very confident.

Since his previous failure in recruitment, he has carefully summarized his experiences and lessons learned, studied corresponding strategies, improved his personal skills, conducted targeted training, gained an in-depth understanding of recent industry trends, and even consulted several seniors with rich recruitment experience, vowing to redeem himself next time.

And he finally got this opportunity.

The "Sherragh Civil Servant Recruitment Notice" was once again posted on the bulletin board of the Trimont Talent Market and simultaneously reposted on the Trimont Intercity Network's online platform.

Unlike last time, this time, Kjerag's partner was no longer Magnus Bank and Blacksteel International, two organizations that, while equally famous, were not considered to have a huge influence in Trimont. Instead, he chose Rhine Lab.

It goes without saying what Rhine Labs is; anyone who has lived in Tremont would know the name of Rhine Labs.

With its backing, there's no doubt that this recruitment drive by Sherag will be even more popular than the last one hosted by Magnus Bank!

It's a pity that this time, Sherag's job posting seemed much more serious.

The required positions were listed, some of the job descriptions were added, and the rest was just a simple drawing.

A film man wearing a blue and white top hat leans forward, his outstretched index finger pointing directly at the person in front of him who is reading the poster in the photo. Below is an enlarged, cartoonish slogan.

I want you!

That's it, nothing more.

This made Jesston very uneasy. He felt that this was not the style of Prime Minister Ernst, who had interviewed him before!

After his previous failure, when he conducted an in-depth analysis of the reasons and process of the failure, he focused on analyzing the Prime Minister Ernst who had interviewed him at the time.

This Prime Minister undoubtedly has the final say in hiring, and unlike many ordinary leaders whom Jesston has met many times, he has a very imaginative mind!

Jeston still clearly remembered the seemingly unsolvable question that Prime Minister Ernst had posed to him when he last confidently applied for the position of secretary.

"If a cup of milk is poured into the sea, how do you retrieve it?"

Jeston gave a very poor response at the time.

His reply was, "I'll buy you another cup myself."

Yes, in his current view, this answer can only be described as a failure.

The reason is simple: Prime Minister Ernst demanded the milk that was poured into the sea, and as a civil servant, it would be a terrible mistake to take matters into one's own hands and ignore the wishes of one's superiors!

This isn't a problem that can be solved by simply buying another cup.

"Tumor milk" is just a metaphor; it can represent many things. For example, imagine Jesston becomes a finance official. One day, the finance department suddenly runs out of money. His superior, Ernst, inquires about it, asking where the money went and if it can be recovered. Is Jesston supposed to say, "I'll pay for it myself"?

Don't be silly, this isn't a romantic relationship. This cup of milk and this money aren't just between two people. Depending on the specific circumstances, the meaning behind Ernst's question could vary.

He might be trying to work in concert with himself, to force out a corrupt government official who has created a financial hole in the treasury, or he might be trying to conceal the whereabouts of the money, so he asked Jeston to quickly come up with a plan to prove that the money was never lost, or that it had been recovered.

Neither way is it intended for Jesston to cover up the hole himself. Doing so wouldn't please the leadership; it would offend both sides!

Jesston didn't understand then, but now he's different.

He asked himself if Ernst would ask a similar question again, and he was sure he could give the most perfect answer that suited his taste!

With this confidence, he resolutely walked into the job fair.

In stark contrast to his confidence was Anmer Antiros's anxious mood.

Anmer Antiros is from Siesta, but has lived in Colombia since she can remember. All her memories of the city of Siesta come from the stories told by her late grandfather.

Her grandfather was a construction worker in Siesta, dedicating himself to the development of the tourist city during that passionate era. Without workers like her grandfather, Siesta would not have the Obsidian Music Festival that resonates throughout Terra today.

Therefore, inspired by her grandfather, Anmer Antirose resolutely chose to major in civil engineering after entering university.

However, although she was unwilling to admit it, her luck had indeed been somewhat unlucky.

From small things like accidentally squeezing toothpaste and letting it spray out, to big things like standing up confidently before handing in a final exam and accidentally spilling ink on your skirt, instantly filling the answer sheet with ink.

This bad luck has been with her all along, making it difficult for her to do anything, including finding a job.

She hasn't graduated yet, but it's not uncommon for Columbia University students to start looking for jobs before graduation. They have large student loans to repay and the responsibility for their future livelihood; they can't expect to rely on their parents forever.

Moreover, Anmer also has her own dreams. As a civil engineer, she also wants to get involved in an engineering project, to build something, to leave something behind for this land, just like her grandfather did.

Her original plan was to work part-time during university to save enough money to return to Siesta and see the city her grandfather had built with her own eyes. But that wasn't her final destination.

Since Siesta has already been built, if nothing unexpected happens, such as a natural disaster, that destroys the city, then even if it were to build new buildings, it would only be to fill in the gaps, which is completely different from Anmer's ideal.

So, while browsing the Trimont job market website, she was drawn to a job posting.

[Job Posting]

[Works Department Officer, Kjerag Government]

Type: Civil Servant, Compensation: Civil Servant

[Requirements: Proficiency in professional skills... (Recent graduates preferred)]

Job fair: Building B, Rhine Life Sciences Headquarters.

[Co-organizers: Rheinlife, Kjerag Government]

[HR Recruitment Message: Would you like to lay the first brick of a great city and leave your name among the builders of a historical wonder? Kjerag can make your dream come true!]

The accompanying image is a poster showing Felin, wearing a top hat, pointing a finger at Anmer with a serious expression, accompanied by the text below.

I want you!

It has to be said that, for a moment, Anmer felt a flutter in his heart.

Compared to the mundane advertising slogans of construction companies and HR messages like "I hope we can work together in the future," Sherag's message is clearly much more appealing!

It can be said that he has a good grasp of the mentality of college students - I want to do something amazing!

Who isn't full of ambition when they first graduate, leave campus, and step into society?

Compared to ordinary inspirational quotes and mundane work-related messages, these eye-catching messages are clearly more in line with the aesthetics of those who "dare to think and act".

Humility is indeed a virtue, but in Colombia, in Tremont, a flamboyant personality and abundant self-confidence are the keys to success!

Inspired by this, Anmer also came to the recruitment site.
