People in Terra, governing a weird little country

As soon as she finished speaking, another voice suddenly sounded. Saria walked out from the corner of the corridor, with her hands folded in front of her chest, her face grim:

"It's the same with Christen. There has been no one in charge of the General Construction Department for a long time, and some important matters of Rhine Life have not been handled at all. Not only do I have objections, but Ferdinand and others also have objections, and our partners have even more objections."

"This expo is over. The projects contracted by Rhine Life and Kristen's experiments have also come to an end. Because of the Star-Picking Project, Rhine Life will probably be busy for a while. She must go back with me. Not only her, but also Nastie and Muirseth."

"Don't let me find out where she is! We are here on a business trip, not a public holiday! This is not a vacation, how can we allow her to not come back if she wants to!"

As soon as Saria appeared, Ernst roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Especially when Saria said something, Nastie lowered her head a little, which made Ernst's eyelids twitch.

You Rhine people who are breaking up really have your own saying, breaking up is like a sky full of stars, and no one wants to go back.

Only Ferdinand - Ernst still remembered the scientist who was particularly interested in robot armor - was considered conscientious by Saria.

But, speaking of which, when Christen was contaminated, she seemed to have mentioned that Ferdinand had danced with Saria?

And he was standing in the female seat, and Saria was standing in the male seat?

Ernst looked at Saria with some curiosity, then recalled Ferdinand's appearance, and finally couldn't help but turn his head away.

There is no way, my facial expression management is a little out of control, commonly known as I can't help laughing.

"Mr. Ernst?"

Saria suddenly spoke up, and Ernst stood at attention:

"what happened?"

Who would have thought that Saria, who usually speaks her mind and has an EQ higher than diamond, would be a little shy this time:

"That... Tsk..."

Ernst was shocked and extremely curious about what Saria would say next.

What could make Saria act like a woman?

Perhaps she realized her own misconduct, Saria coughed lightly and adjusted her mood:

"Mr. Ernst, Colombia is a country that values ​​freedom. As a friend of Kristen, I don't object to her making the choice of her own will, as long as it does not violate public order and morality."

"But, it is precisely because I am Kristen's friend that I know her better than you do. So, I still have to remind you: Kristen is not such a law-abiding person. From what I have seen and heard in Kjerag these few days, I am afraid that she will not abide by your customs, beliefs, social etiquette, etc. at all."

"During her time in Kjerag, she mostly did research on the Matterhorn and had little contact with the outside world. Under such circumstances, your impression of her was one-sided. And because she was able to get close to her parents' unfinished work with your permission, she would also show you a better side."

"So, if you really plan to... you have to be prepared that she will constantly cause you trouble and pressure."

"That's all I have to say. Take care!"

Saria said, her cheeks already flushed.

She actually had no experience in this kind of thing, but as one of the few people who could be called a friend of Christen, she had to stand up and say these words.

If she didn't say this, Ernst would probably feel regretful if she was really deceived by the side of Christine that she revealed.

After all, which of the directors of various departments of Rhine Life was not "tricked" by Christen?

Thinking about herself, Ferdinand, Little Justin and others who are now worrying about Rhine's life every day, while Christen is just letting it go and living a carefree life, Saria couldn't help but say:

"Run, don't get infected with Kristen! It will make people unhappy!"

Saria fled away quickly, Ernst stood there in a daze, and Nasti sighed slightly and put the bone flute in her hand to her lips again.

This time, however, the tune played was not a sad, mournful one, but a lively, melodious, and somewhat festive one:

"What is warm as honey~ (Sarkaz language)"

"What is bitter as arsenic~ (Sarkaz language)"

Ernst didn't understand, so he tilted his head and asked, "Nastie, what are you talking about?"

Nastie put down her small bone flute that could be played when she was happy or sad, and could bring joy to people when she played it, and smiled and nodded at Ernst:

"I'll blow it, Saria has a good opinion."

Chapter 234: The current Grand Secretary is me, Muir Seth!

Knocking on the door of the conference room compartment, Ernst comforted:

"Okay, come out, Saria is gone."

There was no sound from inside the door for a long time, but a puddle of water seeped out from the crack in the door.

Ernst was silent for a moment and reminded:

"Don't let too much water leak out. You can deal with the water yourself later. If the wooden floor gets damp, you'll have to pay for it."

The spreading puddle of water suddenly stopped, and then several small Muirses condensed, all of them stuck out their tongues at Ernst and made faces:

"Tsk, you're so petty!"

Muirseth opened the door, pouting her lips, as if she wanted to make a few comments, but when they really came face to face, she stopped talking, and after a long while, she bowed and thanked him:

"Thank you. I was almost captured by Saria."

"Is it so scary to go back to Rhine Life?" Ernst didn't quite understand what people like Muerseth were thinking.

Rhine Life is a very good place to go. If he had the ability in that area and his birthplace happened to be in Kjerag, going to Rhine Life would have been a very good choice.

Saria is kind and righteous, Christen is righteous and kind, and there is also a high-quality female researcher like Hemer, whose conscience is out of place on the land of Terra, with salaries that rank among the best in the entire Terra, so they live a very comfortable life.

Although the threshold to enter Rhine Life is very high, there is at least such a threshold. People with talent, ability and creative ideas, even if they are born in poverty, can always climb over that threshold, leap over the dragon gate and become upper-class people in Columbia.

And such a thing would never happen in Victoria, Ursus.

There might have been some hope for Leithania in the past. The Witch King had an idea and implemented a policy of admission based on aptitude. Putting aside his original intention, even if he had bad intentions but did a good thing, the rule he set up that did not ask about family background had a very good effect. At one point, the number of civilians in Leithania who obtained degrees through education and achieved class crossing reached 35%, close to 40%.

But unfortunately, this matter eventually fell through.

It’s not that the Witch King changed, it’s just that the Witch King died and made a mistake that everyone would make.

During the reign of the Gemini Queens, the number suddenly dropped again, and was almost returning to the situation before the Witch King ascended the throne, when it was 7%, and now it is 12%.

The Witch King changed Letania, and the Twin Queens changed it back. There is a reason why the remnants of the Witch King can cause so much trouble in Letania and still have a considerable mass base.

To some extent, this is also an important reason why capitalism crushes feudalism. At least it no longer completely depends on the so-called family background, but pays more attention to your own talents.

But how come Terra, a capitalist paradise that is one of the most anthropomorphic countries in the world, is like a scourge in the eyes of people like Muirseth?

Muirseth was obviously also stumped by this question. She pursed her lips, as if she was lost in thought. After a while, she frowned slightly and sighed sadly:

"Because no matter how good that place is, it's not my home, right?"

For Muirseth, she doesn't have much sense of belonging either to Columbia or Rhine Life.

She would stay in Columbia because her friends were there, and she would stay in Rhine Life because that was what she and her friends had built.

But if a friend wants to leave one day, she will leave without any hesitation.

She was very sure of this, especially after Christen's "Operation Star Picking" experiment, she became more convinced of this idea.

If one day, Kristen really tried to fly out of the isolation layer and leave Terra, she would definitely follow him no matter what.

She doesn't have much family, only friends. If she loses even her friends, the water elf will be truly alone in this world.

Ernst nodded thoughtfully, somewhat understanding how she felt.

Not only her, Nasti might be the same.

This can be seen from the fact that she discussed with Christen and decided to redeem the land from Magnus Bank with her own money instead of using Rhine Life's public account.

She didn't plan to go back because the city in the sky she wanted to build was her dream home.

I heard that the Sarkaz would call their homeland Kazdel. Does she want to build a Kazdel in the sky?

Indeed, in this case, artillery on the ground would not be able to hit it. It is a very romantic idea.

Like the two of them, most of the Rhine partners are probably the same.

Kristen just put together this group of people, but did not really build a collective. It was like recruiting four teammates on the public screen to play a game, and then they went their separate ways after the game. It was not like five people sitting in a row in an Internet cafe and having a meal together after the game.

A sense of belonging is something that needs to be created by a leader. Unfortunately, based on Ernst's understanding of Christen, she probably never cared about it at all. Even if she knew, she probably wouldn't really take the time to do it.

Although what Saria said was a bit nonsense, it did make some sense. Being attracted to Kristen would be a troublesome thing in the future.

Luckily I didn't...

At least it didn't fall completely.

It is human nature to appreciate and admire pure dream chasers, and it should be so.

Noticing that the atmosphere in the room was a little depressed for a while, Hol Haiya took the initiative to step forward and played her role as a secretary to adjust the atmosphere:

"So, Miss Muirseth, what are you going to do next?"

"Continue to hide from Saria. What about after she leaves? Have you thought about it?"

Holhaiya raised his eyebrows at Ernst and winked:

"Are you interested in doing odd jobs in Kjerag?"

"You guys plan to hire me?"

Muirseth looked at Holhaiya with some surprise, then glanced at Ernst curiously, somewhat unsure of who meant it.

But this did not stop her from making conditions:

"Okay, of course I'm willing. Five social insurances and one housing fund, a full physical examination every quarter, employee accommodation and meal subsidies... Let me think, if you live far away, commuting subsidies are also a must!"

"Also, does the company have a psychological counseling room? Is the lunch break long? If it is short, is there afternoon tea time? How are the vacation arrangements? Does the daily working time exceed eight hours? How is the paid vacation calculated? By the way, here is a small question that Muirseth has personally asked."

Muirseth's eyes swept back and forth between Ernst, Holhaiya, and a certain Xu Shu entering Cao's camp - Lavshini, who was silently installing a small stove, and he smiled evilly:

“Do you allow office romances?”

Holhaiya looked at Ernst, who took a breath.

Is this a person who has entered society?

Hol Haiya didn't have so many requirements when he applied for the job!

Oh, she came prepared. A Quetzalcoatl spy who gets two salaries.

Seeing Ernst's face full of reluctance, Holhaiya also smiled:

"I don't know about the others, but there are staff quarters. When Tukarim was being rebuilt, we lived in Ernst's house."

"Wow!" Muirseth covered his mouth. "Live at home!"

"Bringing a new employee to live in your home after the first meeting, this is already considered workplace sexual harassment!"

"Who said I'm going to take you back to my house!" Ernst interrupted quickly.

Just kidding, it would have been better if Horhaiya didn't mention this. He got even angrier when he did.

Enchiodis, the ungrateful one, didn't inform him at all, relying on the fact that he was the head of the Shivaash family, and gave the key to Holhaiya and the others. When he received the news and returned home, his room was wide open for you to take advantage of!

His dark historical photos from childhood, the naughty diary stories he wrote when he was not serious, and the endless black materials about Cheese Snow Leopard, all of them...

As the prime minister, his authority is gone!

Ernst glared at Holhaiya who was laughing with her hands covering her mouth but couldn't hide the curved corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and curled his lips:

"Why don't I go find Saria and tell her I found you."

"No, no, Ernst, I was wrong!"

He slid and knelt so fast, just like water, and was deformed by a punch.

Ernst sighed in his heart and said seriously:

"It's not that I don't want to keep you here. I have to go out tomorrow. Once I leave, you won't have any acquaintances in Kjerag. You might as well go back to Columbia."

Muir Seth waved his hand:

"Actually, I have something to do. I didn't stay here just to avoid Saria."

She turned sideways, made a "white horse, he will never come back" gesture, and pointed to the northeast of Tukarim:

"I have a job at Manzhuyuan!"

"what?"

Now it was Ernst's turn to be surprised.

"Manzhuyuan is hiring? How come I don't know anything about this?"
