Chapter 178 What is a worker?
Compared to Duck's exclamation, Ariel's expression now seems a bit solemn.
Regarding her current expression of dissatisfaction, Dak seemed a little confused and asked: "President, what are you thinking about? You have a very embarrassed expression."
Ariel did not answer directly, but after walking around the entire factory for the last time, she walked towards the exit, turned off the lights, and locked the door.
Then, she exhaled slightly and walked forward again.
"President, where are we going?"
Duck didn't quite understand, because the direction Ariel was walking in was not the direction of the guild.
Ariel pulled on her cloak and said with a smile: "Go and see the workers who work for us. They have been in Pelican City for half a month, and I want to talk to them."
Dak showed some confusion about Ariel's current behavior. He followed up and said with a frown: "President, it's already nine o'clock in the evening and the weather is cold. If you don't go back, everyone will
Worrying. Besides, there should be nothing to talk about with the workers, they can’t give us any advice.”
Ariel turned her head and looked at the former president of Hands of Heaven. She was not angry, not even a little angry. In comparison, Ariel showed a faint smile with a little understanding and tolerance.
There was no need to say so much unnecessary words. She continued to chat with Dak with a smile, and soon the two of them walked to the door of the apartment where the employees were taking a break.
Knock-knock-knock-
I knocked on the door, and after a while, a voice came from inside.
"Who is it? It's late at night. It's freezing to death. Come back tomorrow if you're okay!"
The voice seemed a little impatient and a little rough. Duck on the side frowned slightly, stepped forward, opened his mouth, and was about to shout. However, Ariel stretched out his hand to stop him.
She smiled and asked Dak to step back from her. After clearing her voice slightly, she said, "It's me, Ariel Garcia. Are you all asleep?"
Hearing Ariel's voice, suddenly, the slightly lazy voice inside was immediately replaced by a burst of noise. Then, bursts of busy sounds were heard inside. At the same time, some people were hurriedly
He responded: "Boss! Please...please wait a moment, boss! I'll be here right away...clean it up quickly! What do these things look like stacked in the aisle?!"
Listening to the noise coming from inside, Ariel just stood at the door with her hands behind her back and waited silently. This made Duck behind him seem a little confused.
After all... Where in the world can anyone make their employer wait?
After almost two or three minutes, the door was finally slowly opened. What appeared in front of Ariel and Duck were the employees who looked a little out of breath and had obviously just put on their clothes, with humble smiles on their faces.
Stand in front of yourself.
Ariel nodded and said, "Do you mind if I come in and sit down?"
The employee who opened the door was stunned, then nodded quickly and said: "Please come in! Boss, please come in!"
Entering the apartment, Ariel looked at the structure of the house here.
Walking forward no more than three meters from the gate is a crossroads. The road directly opposite the gate extends up to a staircase leading to the second floor, and there are two passages extending out on both sides.
The passage is relatively narrow, so if two people are walking towards each other, one of them must turn sideways.
But even in such a narrow passage, there are many sundries placed here. There are boxes, stoves, shelves, and various wooden basins.
There are several ropes hanging above the passage, but there is nothing hanging on these ropes. But as long as you turn your head and look at the other passage, you can see that there is a piece of clothing on the rope over there that was not pulled off in time.
Now a female worker hurriedly came forward and pulled it off, then stuffed it back into her room with a red face.
There are five rooms in the passage on each side. The doors appear to be relatively narrow, and judging from the distance between the compartments, it is probably not a very big house. When I think about it, Round Cheese should have thought about it when building this apartment.
Hotels are for rent, so they try to use the space to create more rooms.
Now, with the appearance of Ariel, the employees walked out of their rooms one after another and stood at the door as if waiting for the leader to review.
Their faces were full of restraint and nervousness. Some of the male employees had not even had time to put on their shoes. They stepped barefoot on the cold stone floor, and their faces were full of shame.
Ariel looked at the employees on both sides. On the left is where the male employees live, and on the right is where the female employees live.
After a moment of reflection, she stepped forward and walked first to the passage where the female employees were. With a smile on her face, she said to the female employees standing at the door of the first room: "Before I came in, what were you doing just now?"
?”
At this time, all the employees turned their attention to the female employee, looking very nervous.
The female employee was obviously a little scared. Tears began to appear in the corners of her eyes, and she choked nervously: "I...I didn't do anything...I just...just..."
Ariel smiled, and just about to speak, Duck came up from behind and said softly: "President, these employees didn't do anything bad. If you want to find fault... it's better to go to those men, don't
You’re bullying these women, okay?”
In response, Ariel just rolled her eyes at him, nodded with a smile and said, "Do you mind if I come in and sit for a while? Let's chat?"
At this time, how could the female employee dare to say "no"? She could only smile awkwardly and nodded.
Entering the room, it was indeed as small as Ariel expected.
In a room that is only about ten square meters in size, there is a single bed in the corner, and a row of shelves for dishes and clothes on the right. There is only a strip in the middle for people to turn sideways.
The walking passage gives people an inexplicable sense of depression.
Ariel looked at the room, nodded slightly, pointed to the edge of the bed over there, and said with a smile, "Do you mind if I sit down for a while?"
The female employee nodded quickly: "Please... boss, please..."
Ariel sat down, then waved to the female employee and said with a smile: "Come on, Kelly, sit down too and sit next to me. Duck, the place here is relatively small, so you should be a little aggrieved and stand in the corner.
Go a little bit."
When Ariel announced her name, the female worker seemed a little surprised. She pointed at her nose and said, "Boss Garcia, you... know my name?"
Ariel showed a very curious expression and said: "Of course I know your name, you were recruited by me, how could I not know your names? Also, Helen, who is peeking outside now,
Shirley, Sandy, don't be so cautious, it makes me feel like I want to eat someone. You can all come in, don't just stand at the door."
The female workers who were hiding and peeking outside the door did not expect that their names would be remembered by Baroness Garcia. They were surprised and a little happy for a moment. The male employees on the other side saw the expressions on the faces of these female employees.
Gradually, the panic just now turned into joy. I was a little unaware of the situation, but now I am getting along silently.
Ariel took off the two cloaks on her body and threw them to Duck, who was huddled in the corner. She exhaled and said with a smile: "I've been very busy during this period, so I haven't had time to talk to you.
Let’s have a good chat. It’s rare that I have free time today, so I wanted to take advantage of the fact that it’s not time to go to bed yet to ask you if you need anything or if you have any ideas.”
As she said that, Ariel faced the female employee sitting next to her and said with a smile: "You have been in Pelican City for almost half a month. Do you think there is anything inconvenient in your current life? You live well.
?"
Of course, the female employee did not dare to say anything, and quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no, no! I... I am living a good life! Thank you, Lord Baron... I used to be a beggar... I didn't even have a place to sleep at night...
Now I feel very lucky to have such a room to sleep in..."
At this time, Ariel's face immediately dropped: "What are you talking about? You could be a beggar before, but are you still ready to be a beggar now? Do you look down on me, Ariel Garcia?!"
Maybe the female employee didn't expect that the boss would become angry?
Facing Ariel's serious expression, the female employee couldn't hold back anymore. She stood up and wanted to kneel down in front of her. Anyway, it's better to apologize now, right?
but……
"I don't want to blame you, nor do I want to say anything to you. I hired you because I hope you can help me work. But I hope you can live a happier life here, and don't be like before.
So homeless."
Ariel turned her head, looked at the female workers standing at the door, and said slowly——
"Besides, don't think that I am so great. My birth is not much nobler than yours. In essence, there is no difference between you and me. So, you don't need to be too nervous about me. Let's just
Just like ordinary neighbors, although our daily work is different, our status is equal. So, we just chat with each other."
Having said this, Ariel reached out and grabbed the female employee's hand. She felt that her palm was a little cold now, and then said slowly with a gentle smile -
