Conquering the world from the Kaiser's driver

Bauman didn't know what happened. He thought that it was his sudden visit without prior registration that made Lin Shangzhou feel uncomfortable, so he said to Lin Shangzhou cautiously: "Mr. Hipper, I am very sorry for coming to apply for the job without prior registration..."

Lin Shangzhou didn't listen to what Bauman said because he was experiencing a brain storm in his mind.

First it was Goebbels, then Speer, and then came Baumann. I want to gather a team of mustaches together...

The continuous surprises made Lin Shangzhou feel very overwhelmed. He was really happy that the team members of Little Mustache came to him one after another, because these people were talented and ambitious. But at the same time, Lin Shangzhou was at a loss as to who to hire as his secretary.

.

Chapter 204: The Private Secretary, the Architect, and the Cold-baked Bun Man (I)

Lin Shangzhou fell into deep thought. Martin Baumann, the personal secretary of Little Mustache. The fact that he could become the personal secretary of Little Mustache showed how capable he was.

He didn't know what Baumann did before joining the Nazi, but he knew that Baumann was the secretary of the little mustache, and he did a good job. The other Speer was engaged in the construction industry before joining the Nazi. In OTL, history and reality have proved that Albert Speer is very talented in designing buildings and designing countries.

No matter who these two men are, Lin Shangzhou doesn't want to let them go. He wants to get both of them. Martin Bormann can make his work easier, and Speer can play a big role in armaments and economy in the future.

The more Lin Shangzhou thought about it, the more itchy his heart became. In order to stop the itchy feeling, he comforted himself with another statement: this Martin Bormann is not necessarily the Martin Bormann with the mustache, and that Albert Speer is not necessarily the Albert Speer under the mustache.

After such self-persuasion, Lin Shangzhou's heart gradually calmed down. He could confirm whether it was Speer through the wool, but he could not confirm it was Martin Bormann through his facial features, otherwise he would not have reacted after hearing Bormann's name.

As for Miss Wang Zhaoming, no matter her name was just a coincidence, or she was the real Miss Wang or had a relationship with a certain Mr. Wang, Lin Shangzhou no longer had much interest in her after having Baumann and Speer.

He admitted that he liked Wang Niang very much when he played krkx, and he also had feelings for the JK girl with long black hair and black stockings (), but now there is an 80% or even 100% chance that LKMT has contacted him to persuade him to join them. Even if this is not the purpose, they hope that they can gain benefits for China or provide them with assistance in the future.

Lin Shangzhou has his own plan to seek benefits for China, but that is in the distant future, not now. Now the only problem that stands in his way is time. He has Goebbels by his side and Baumann in front of him, and Speer may even join his team in the future.

Now he couldn't give up everything he had in Germany, not to mention that he had promised Alexandrine that he would spare no effort to help her. If he broke his promise and made her hate him, then LKMT's situation would be even worse.

Lin Shangzhou will help LKMT, but will not join LKMT.

"Mr. Hipper?"

Seeing that Lin Shangzhou did not respond, Bauman called his name softly. This call pulled Lin Shangzhou back from his thoughts. He looked up at Bauman and remembered that Bauman had just said, "I'm sorry for coming here for an interview without signing up in advance." So he said, "I don't mind your sudden visit. For me, as long as the ability is up to standard, anyone can be my secretary."

Bauman's expression relaxed a lot after hearing this. He had just been worried that his sudden visit had angered the editor-in-chief, but now it seemed that he was just worrying without any basis.

"Without further ado, let's start the interview."

Lin Shangzhou said to Bauman, and then began the interview. The interview lasted for more than ten minutes, and the final result was gratifying. Bauman was fully capable of becoming his secretary.

"I am very happy that such an outstanding person as Mr. Bauman is willing to apply for a job here. I am very satisfied with you."

Hearing Lin Shangzhou's words, Bauman felt a little excited, but he did not open the champagne at halftime. Instead, he said modestly: "I am very grateful for your evaluation of me, Mr. Hipper, but I am the first person to come to you for an interview today. There may be people who are better than me in the future. If possible, I hope you will make a choice after you have finished interviewing everyone."

Lin Shangzhou was a little surprised when he heard that. What he said was equivalent to saying that he had been hired, but Bauman told him to make a decision after completing all the interviews today. Did he ever think about what if he really met someone who was more capable than him?

However, these words made Lin Shangzhou have a different view of Bauman. Regardless of whether he is Bauman with a mustache or not, this man is definitely a capable person.

Lin Shangzhou also wanted to ask Bauman to wait for a while. Bauman's words were like carrying him down the stairs. So he said to Bauman: "Then Mr. Bauman, please wait outside. After I finish the interview, I will call in all the people I think are qualified to make a decision."

"Yes, Mr. Hipper."

Bauman stood up and walked out of the room. After Bauman walked out of the room, Lin Shangzhou heard a loud voice coming from outside the door: "Who is the next interviewee?"

(Are you going to start working as a secretary right now?)

Lin Shangzhou thought that Bauman’s behavior might not be pleasing to some people, but Lin Shangzhou did not mind him doing so.

Then the door was opened again, and another strange man walked in. After seeing the other person's appearance, Lin Shangzhou felt a little disappointed. The man who walked in was not Speer.

After seeing that this person was not the one he wanted to meet, Lin Shangzhou lost most of his interest, so the second interview seemed a bit sloppy and he sent this person away with just a few words.

After the second interviewee left the room, Lin Shangzhou waited for the third interviewee to arrive. Unfortunately, the third and fourth interviewees were neither Speer nor Wang Zhaoming, which made Lin Shangzhou feel a little strange.

Speer and Wang Zhaoming both came to register yesterday, so they should have been here this afternoon as well. How come we haven’t seen any trace of them for three days in a row?

Just when Lin Shangzhou was puzzled, the door opened again. This time, he felt better after seeing the person who came in. The young man who walked into the room sat down on a chair. After he sat down, he said to Lin Shangzhou: "Hello, Mr. Speer, I am Albert Speer."

"Ah."

Lin Shangzhou nodded slowly, then picked up Speer's resume, glanced at the contents, then looked at Speer with a scrutinizing eye and said, "So, Mr. Speer, according to your resume, you were an assistant to an architectural master before you came to me to apply for the job?"

Speer nodded, and then Lin Shangzhou asked him in confusion: "Why do you, a person working in the construction industry, come to apply for a job here? Although the secretary of a newspaper editor-in-chief and the assistant of a master architect have similarities, there shouldn't be much connection in their job content, right?"

Lin Shangzhou asked this out of curiosity. Bauman could easily explain it, as he looked like he was suitable for a job like a secretary assistant. But Speer was different. He studied architecture and worked for a master architect before coming to him. The treatment there was not necessarily worse than here, and the work there was in line with his major. So he wanted to know why Speer came to apply for the job.

Speer replied: "Mr. Hipper, it is like this. Mr. Tessenow went to Poland for work, and I was unable to go with him for personal reasons, so I resigned from his side. After resigning, I heard that you were recruiting secretaries, so I came here hoping to work by your side and become your right-hand man."

"Oh... I see..."

Lin Shangzhou nodded slowly. It turned out that his former boss went abroad and he didn't want to go abroad so he resigned. He was indeed very popular some time ago, so it was not difficult to understand why Speer came here because of his reputation.

Then the fifth interview began. Ten minutes later, Lin Shangzhou had a clearer understanding of Speer's abilities. As an assistant to the master architect, he did have rich work experience, but he was a little worse than Baumann.

It doesn't matter if the secretary's abilities are a little bit poor. Lin Shangzhou has no plans to really let Speer be his secretary in the future. If he were to be a secretary, wouldn't that be a waste of his talent?

Lin Shangzhou said to Speer, "Mr. Speer, your ability is indeed outstanding. I admire it very much. Please wait outside for a while. I will make a decision among the candidates after completing all the interviews."

"Yes, Mr. Hipper."

After saying this, Speer stood up and walked out of the office.

Chapter 205: The Private Secretary, the Architect, and the Cold-baked Bun Man (Part )

Watching Albert walk out of the room, Lin Shangzhou looked at the half-open door. Now that he had seen Speer, the only one he hadn't seen was Miss Wang Zhaoming.

A few seconds later, a blue figure pushed the door open and walked in. When Lin Shangzhou saw the person coming, he was stunned. There was some doubt in the eyes of the strange girl about Lin Shangzhou. She came to the chair and sat down, looking at Lin Shangzhou curiously while he was still in a daze.

Lin Shangzhou didn't expect that he was just thinking about Wang Zhaoming, and then he saw Wang Zhaoming. Could this girl be Cao Cao?

After she sat down, Lin Shangzhou came back to his senses, coughed lightly, and said to Wang Zhaoming in Chinese: "You are Miss Wang Zhaoming, right?"

Wang Zhaoming was a little surprised when she heard Chinese. She wrote her name in Chinese to highlight herself, but she didn't expect that this Mr. Hipper...Lin would actually communicate with her in Chinese.

She nodded and said, "Yes, I am Wang Zhaoming."

Then Wang Zhaoming said with an apologetic look in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hipper, I'm late. I originally planned to come here at 2 pm to be the first to have an interview, but because of some conflicts with the landlord over the rent, I have been delayed until now. I hope you can understand my difficulties."

Lin Shangzhou smiled sympathetically, and then said, "It's okay, I understand your difficulties."

After saying that, he looked at the graceful girl sitting on the chair in front of him with a scrutinizing eye. Her pretty face looked exactly like it was carved out of a cute mod. It was the appearance of Wang Niang in his memory, only a little more three-dimensional.

The clothes that Wang Zhaoming wears are somewhat similar to those worn by Wang Niang in the character design picture. She wears a blue jacket similar to a school uniform on her upper body. Looking at the collar, you can see the white shirt underneath the shirt. However, her lower body is not a blue plaid short skirt like in the character design picture, but a blue plaid mid-length skirt that goes above the knees. A touch of black can be seen on her calves. Lin Shangzhou thinks it is black stockings. Judging from the era, it can be judged that it is not the modern stockings in the character design picture, but knitted stockings that are more in line with this era, or black tights.

Judging from her clothing and appearance, Wang Zhaoming is Wang Niang, except that she is slightly different from the character picture, which was within Lin Shangzhou's expectations.

Lin Shangzhou only examined Wang Zhaoming for a few seconds before looking away. It was not appropriate to stare at someone when meeting them for the first time, so a symbolic look of scrutiny for a few seconds would be enough.

The girl in front of him was almost 100% similar to Wang Niang, and judging from her age, she was not Wang. However, this gave Lin Shangzhou a new question in his mind: Why did Miss Wang Zhaoming come to see him?

If she has no relationship with Mr. Wang, then the reason is very simple: she needs a job with a decent income. From what she just said about the conflict with the landlord over the rent, it can be seen that Miss Wang Zhaoming's financial situation is not good.

If she had a relationship with Mr. Wang, the reason was also very simple: she came to France on behalf of LKMT to contact him and try to win him over. If this is the case, LKMT may not have the money to support her to live in Germany for a long time, and it also shows that her financial situation is not good.

If Speer and Baumann had not arrived, Lin Shangzhou would not care whether Wang Zhaoming had any relationship with Mr. Wang. He would directly hire Wang Zhaoming as his secretary. The reason... was naturally to help compatriots in need.

But now with Bauman in front and Speer behind, Lin Shangzhou would never let these two go. He hired one of them as his secretary, and the other could also work in the newspaper.

For example, he asked Baumann to be his secretary and asked Speer to do the layout design of the newspaper. He studied architecture and must be good at design.

Miss Wang Zhaoming is a bit redundant, unless she is particularly outstanding in some aspect. However, as of now, apart from being extremely beautiful, Lin Shangzhou can't find any attractive features about her.

Of course, if he was a man who thought with his lower body, he would definitely choose to hire Wang Zhaoming, but he was not. However, the real situation was that Lin Shangzhou also had some thoughts of letting Wang Zhaoming stay.

There are two reasons. One is to help compatriots.

Second, this is fucking Wang Niang, an element that krkx has to appreciate!

So Lin Shangzhou decided to conduct an interview first to see what was so outstanding about Miss Wang Zhaoming.

He picked up Wang Zhaoming's resume and looked at it. After seeing the content, he looked up at her in confusion and asked, "Ms. Wang, your resume says that you have worked as a writer and editorial assistant for a period of time in a newspaper. So which newspaper did you work for in the past? I remember my requirements were very clear. If there is relevant resume, the time, place and name of the unit where you worked must be stated."

Lin Shangzhou's words were very calm, but such calm words made Wang Zhaoming's heart uneasy. She nervously clenched her fists lightly, trying to act normal, but every subtle change in her was seen by Lin Shangzhou.

"I'm sorry, Si Pei..."

Although Wang Zhaoming tried her best not to get nervous, she accidentally bit her tongue, which made her stick out her tongue in pain.

Seeing Wang Zhaoming's panic, Lin Shangzhou smiled kindly and said, "Don't be nervous. This is just a small problem that has nothing to do with it. I won't chase you away just because you didn't write these things clearly. Relax."

"Also, my Chinese name is Lin Shangzhou, you can just call me Mr. Lin."

Wang Zhaoming calmed down a lot after Lin Shangzhou comforted her. At least she was no longer so flustered. She said to Lin Shangzhou with an apologetic look on her face: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry that I didn't write my resume according to your request. I used to work for a newspaper in China. I think it was a newspaper in Shanghai. Shanghai is too far from Germany, so I think it doesn't matter if I don't write it clearly."

Wang Zhaoming explained to Lin Shangzhou vaguely why she did not write it down as required. What she said did make sense, but in essence she did not answer Lin Shangzhou's question. Instead, she was making excuses for not writing it down as required.

Lin Shangzhou smiled slightly and didn't care about Wang Zhaoming's ambiguity. He was now sure that the Miss Wang Zhaoming in front of him was a LKMT from France. It was normal for her to panic because of making a mistake, but it was abnormal for her to still be vague after this. He said that he would not blame her for this, so she should tell the truth.

However, Wang Zhaoming's choice was to be vague and continue to conceal the truth, which was not right.

Lin Shangzhou could have continued to question her, but he didn't because he thought it would be a bit aggressive. Anyway, he already knew that the girl was from LKMT, so he could talk about it later.

Anyway, if I become the chancellor in the future, apart from the German right wing and the countries of the Imperial Pact, the first people to be uneasy will definitely be the people from the Qing Dynasty and the LKMT. By then, this girl might reveal her identity.

"Then let's start the interview."

Lin Shangzhou said to Wang Zhaoming, and then he began to interview Wang Niang.

The interview lasted quite a long time because Lin Shangzhou had a small hope in his heart. He hoped that Wang Zhaoming would have outstanding abilities in a certain field that he needed, so that he could keep Wang Niang with good reason.

Half an hour later, the interview was over. Lin Shangzhou looked at the pretty and gentle girl in front of him with satisfaction. He found a reason to let Wang Zhaoming stay.

Her abilities are average, so a job can be arranged for her in a newspaper.

.

Chapter 206: The Private Secretary, the Architect, and the Cold-baked Bun Man (Part )

Although this reason was somewhat far-fetched, it allowed Lin Shangzhou to find her a job in the newspaper, and that was enough.

He said to Wang Zhaoming with a smile: "Okay, Miss Wang, please go outside and call in the two candidates named Martin Bormann and Albert Speer. By the way, please help me tell the others that they can go back. Thank you for your help."

Wang Zhaoming's expression changed slightly when she heard that. She originally thought that she would be successfully hired, but it turned out that there were two other candidates.

The meaning is very clear. Lin Shangzhou will choose one of the three of them to be his secretary.

So Wang Zhaoming, feeling a little disappointed, got up and went outside, asked the other interviewees to leave and brought Baumann and Speer into the room.

After the three of them entered the room, Bauman took the initiative to come to the side of the stool and said to Wang Zhaoming, "Please ask this lady to sit on this stool. I will stand and listen to Editor-in-Chief Hipper's speech."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Shangzhou. Facing such a knowledgeable Bauman, Lin Shangzhou was very satisfied.

Speer followed suit and said, "Please ask this lady to sit on that stool. I will stand and listen to Mr. Speer's speech just like Mr. Baumann."

Seeing that both gentlemen were giving in to him, Wang Zhaoming thanked them and sat down on the chair.

After she sat down, Baumann and Speer smiled at each other, then looked at Lin Shangzhou, waiting quietly for him to speak.

Lin Shangzhou coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He stood up and said to the three people, "I am very happy and honored that three such outstanding talents have come to me to apply for the position of my secretary. No matter who they are, they are all very outstanding. It is really difficult for me to choose."

After saying this, Lin Shangzhou gave a bitter smile, expressing his helplessness, and then said, "Because it is too difficult to choose, I decided to hire all three of them as employees of the newspaper."

Wang Zhaoming, Speer, and Baumann all widened their eyes at the same time, not daring to believe what Lin Shangzhou had just said?

He was going to hire all three of them at once?

Isn’t this a bit... too greedy?

The three of them thought about it, and Bauman was the first to react and said, "Since Editor-in-Chief Hipper said so, then I have no objection."

Wang Zhaoming and Speer also echoed.

Lin Shangzhou was very happy that the three of them unanimously agreed to be hired together, but at the same time, he also felt a little confused. Why did the three of them agree to let him do this?

Wang Zhaoming is easier to deal with, as she is a member of LKMT and there is no way she would give up such a good opportunity to contact me. But what about Speer and Baumann?

I shouldn't have had any contact with them before today...

Suddenly, Lin Shangzhou thought of something. His mother was the advisor of the German Emperor. However, he had been using a communicator to contact Alexandrine in recent times and seldom went to the Worries Palace. He was afraid that Cecilia would drive him out if he went there.

According to Alexandrine, he took her out secretly, which made her sister Cecilia very angry. Even after several days, she was still angry. So Lin Shangzhou decided to wait a little longer before going to Wuyou Palace, at least until Cecilia calmed down.

Thinking of this, Lin Shangzhou understood why Bormann and Speer agreed to be hired together. He was the adviser of the German Emperor and had a bright future. If one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit.

Whether it is Speer, Baumann or any other ordinary person, wouldn't working under the emperor's adviser be a way to save themselves a few years of hard work?
