At first, the hotel management was delighted when they found out that all the souvenirs had been taken away in an instant. They didn't expect the souvenirs to be so popular this time, attributing it to their good service attitude.

But soon they realized something was wrong. No matter how quickly they replenished the souvenirs, they would be gone in a while, sometimes even the boxes were taken away.

Considering it was during a conference, the hotel wasn't crowded. How could the souvenirs be taken so quickly?

It wasn't until they checked the surveillance that they discovered it was all taken by one person.

Just as they were furiously suspecting a thief had infiltrated the hotel, they found out that this person was actually a high-ranking official with real power.

The hotel management was dumbfounded. These souvenirs were made of silver, and a box of them was worth at most a few tens of thousands. They couldn't believe that a high-ranking official would stoop to such petty theft.

Of course, confronting him was out of the question. Instead, the hotel graciously sent a few more boxes of souvenirs to Lin Wen, and set up an automatic dispenser in the lobby. When an official approached, a souvenir would automatically drop down, once every five seconds.

The profit was too low, and Lin Wen indeed lost interest.

But in his room, there were already more than a dozen boxes of souvenirs.

Qi Mu, having no credentials to prove his identity and fearing that people wouldn't believe him, decided to bring out a box of souvenirs.

He would give a souvenir to each person as a token of employment, adding a sense of ceremony and sincerity to the recruitment process.

The souvenir was exquisitely made, with superb craftsmanship and perfect design, full of artistic flavor. Although it was nothing special in the eyes of officials, it was a rare piece of fine art outside.

The girl fell in love with it at first sight. She carefully held the anchor in her hands, looking closely at the pure silver surface reflecting the dazzling sunlight, her eyes filled with shimmering silver light.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

She bowed repeatedly, no longer having any doubts. The imperial government's recruitment was indeed extraordinary.

Although the booth was a bit shabby, the content was very substantial.

When the girl bowed for the third time, suddenly, a crowd surged forward, completely surrounding Qi Mu's booth.

"Brother! Laborers get 800 a month including food and accommodation."

"Boss! Where is Changshan County?"

"Young man! How many people are you hiring?"

"Are there any requirements for laborers? Just a medium school graduate will do."

The crowd was bustling, and the front was full of burly men. Qi Mu pulled Tian Jiajia over and shouted, "Don't push! If you overturn the booth, no one will be recruited today!"

With this shout, the crowd quieted down and stopped pushing.

Qi Mu whispered to Tian Jiajia, "There are a lot of people today, and I wasn't prepared. Could you help me register them?"

Tian Jiajia quickly nodded, "Okay."

Qi Mu raised his voice, "Everyone, there are no requirements for laborers, as long as you are healthy, have no bad habits, and are hardworking. We are hiring an unlimited number of people!"

As soon as his words fell, the crowd erupted with a roar, and the crowd moved forward uncontrollably.

Qi Mu shouted with all his might, "Changshan County is far away! It's poor! It's hard! It's remote! Think carefully before you come!"

No one left, and the crowd erupted like a tsunami.

"I'm coming!"

"I'm willing to endure any hardship!"

"I can work until dark!"

"I don't need rest! I'll work as long as you want me to!"

Qi Mu deeply regretted not bringing a loudspeaker, and could only shout hoarsely, "One at a time, maintain order!"

Originally, Qi Mu planned to give souvenirs to the laborers as well, but seeing the situation, he made a different choice. He only gave out a piece of paper with a handwritten name on it as a notice of employment.

At the same time, he asked the laborers who had completed their application to maintain order on the spot.

This measure had a huge effect.

As Qi Mu's team grew larger, the order at the scene improved, the recruitment speed increased, and Qi Mu even extended the booth, allowing newly hired government employees to start working on the spot, greatly improving efficiency.

However, most of the people at the scene were applying for laborer positions, with only a small portion applying for ordinary positions. Qi Mu brushed off a portion of them, but these people immediately applied for laborer positions.

As for the administrative officials, not a single person chose to apply.

In this way, Qi Mu's booth created a huge siphon effect, even attracting people who should have been in the employment market.

Before long, a group of well-dressed people ran over and shouted, "Who are you?"

"Do you have the right to recruit people here?"

"Where's your city permit?"

"With such good treatment, you must be a scammer!"

"Don't be fooled!"

No one paid them any attention, and only a few spit on the ground.

Due to the noisy crowd, Qi Mu was busy recruiting and didn't notice the flies outside.

The group of people couldn't squeeze in, and no one paid them any attention. They were used to bossing people around in the employment market and had never been treated like this before. They were so angry that their faces turned green and shouted, "You wait for me!"

After a while, a large group of security guards came rumbling over.

The leading senior security officer shouted through a loudspeaker, "Who is disturbing the market order here? Don't you know that it's forbidden to cause trouble during the joint conference?"

Qi Mu looked up and before he could speak, the senior security officer waved his hand, "It's you, isn't it? Arrest him! Take him to the detention center for a few days."Qi Mu hurriedly shouted, "I am a government official from Changshan County! I was entrusted by Boss Lin... Sheriff Lin to recruit people here! I have already informed the street management office in advance! I have paid the fees!"

The senior security officer sneered and was about to step forward when suddenly an official jumped down from behind him. He stared at Qi Mu for a moment and exclaimed:

"This, isn't this Qi, the Chief Computer Network Conference Engineer and Senior Computer Language Expert of Sheriff Lin? Why are you here?"

He suddenly turned around, slapped the senior security officer on both sides of his face, almost knocking him to the ground.

"You bastard, who told you that someone is causing trouble here? Qi is just recruiting some workers here, how is that causing trouble? Are you blind?"

The senior security officer was stunned by the sudden attack, but having been in the officialdom for so many years, he immediately understood that he had offended a big shot.

He immediately jumped up and bowed deeply in a 360-degree bow, "I'm sorry! Officer Hu! I'm sorry! Officer Qi! I was blind!"

He turned around, straightened his back, and shouted, "Arrest these villains who falsely accused good people!"

The security guards rushed up like wolves and tigers, arresting the group of whistleblowers from the labor market who had followed them, ignoring their cries.

The official bowed to Qi Mu with a smile on his face.

"Officer Qi, I won't disturb you anymore. I will send someone to maintain order for you later. I hope you won't mind."

After saying that, he hurriedly left. As an official who could attend joint meetings, he was one of the confidants of the city lord, and his information was very well-informed.

Sheriff Lin had already safely landed ashore. Not only today, but the connection between the city lord and Sheriff Lin would inevitably be close in the future.

It's not an exaggeration to say that now, Sheriff Lin and the city lord are in a honeymoon period, and he, just a confidant, not a real power official, dare not offend the number one general under Sheriff Lin.

Of course, if he knew that the title Lin Wen temporarily gave to Qi Mu was just a random fabrication, he would probably spit blood.

The job seekers were dead silent. Tian Jiajia, who was standing by, stared at Qi Mu in disbelief, "You, you are the government's chief network engineer?"

She originally thought that this ordinary-looking young man was just an ordinary employee, but she didn't expect him to be a big shot.

Qi Mu scratched the back of his head, "No, no." He didn't know how to explain it properly, but the people around him thought he was being modest.

What could be more real than the personal recognition of a local high official?

Everyone saw his arrogant and respectful appearance, and those two slaps made everyone on the scene feel a twitch in their hearts, but they were also secretly pleased. That senior security officer had bullied them a lot in the past, and now that he was beaten, everyone was happy to see it.

In fact, with such generous conditions, it would be impossible for the job seekers on the scene not to have any doubts.

In recent years, recruitment scams have been common. It's one thing to be cheated out of money, but it would be a disaster if they were tricked into being sold as piglets.

Those two slaps also slapped away all their remaining doubts.

A job seeker who had been watching from the back murmured, "It's true, it's really true. I have to go tell Dazhu and the others! Let them stop working like dogs!"

"Quick, go tell the workers at the dock! We're not working under that vampire anymore!"

"I, I'm going to go back and take my whole family! My father, mother, brother, and sister can all be workers, they must live better than here! This is not heaven, it's an abyss!"

And so, the news spread like wildfire throughout Yaojing Spiritual Capital.

First in the east district of the lower city, then the west, south, north, and dock districts, gradually spreading to the inner city, and finally even the upper city heard about it.

"Hey! Have you heard? There's a place called Changshan County that's going to be developed on a large scale, and they're recruiting people indefinitely!"

"I heard they're going to dig through the Taixu Mountain Range!"

"What? The empire has decided to dig through the Taixu Mountain Range?"

"What? The empire has decided to carry out large-scale development in the west?"

"What? The empire has decided to change its strategic direction, break through the Taixu Mountain Range, establish a military transport channel in the southwest, and attack the Western Federation?"

"What? The empire has decided to formally declare war on the world?"

When the news reached the ears of Changsheng, the city lord of Yaojing Spiritual Capital, although it was detailed, he dismissed it as nonsense: "Nonsense, don't waste time sending such rumors to me in the future."

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

After the joint meeting was interrupted, Changsheng returned to his mansion and discussed the current situation with his confidants.

A few days ago, Lin Wen's words had greatly moved him. This was not just empty theory, it also had strong operability, and Lin Wen had even talked about many subsequent developments as if they had really happened.

The result of the collective discussion between Changsheng and his confidants was unanimous: they believed it should be the research result of Sheng Huaixuan, an olive branch thrown by the Eastern Faction to their Republican Faction and Elder Xu.

Lin Wen was the representative they pushed to the front.

So, when Lin Wen passed the test, Changsheng immediately decided to send Liu Sheng to contact him, as it was related to the highest elder council, and he could not be negligent.

Changsheng is currently only the city lord, unless Yaojing Spiritual Capital becomes a super first-tier city, he is not qualified to wear the red flower of the highest council representative.

Without the identity of the highest council representative, it means that he is always one step away from the center of power of the empire.

This one step is like a chasm.

Therefore, the development of Yaojing Spiritual Capital is the most important thing in his heart.
