After his doubts were resolved, Lin Shangzhou prepared to divide the work among the three people. As for the division of work among the three people, he already had the answer in his mind.
He said to the three people, "Since you three have been hired, I will also assign tasks to you three."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them became nervous. There was only one position of Lin Shangzhou's secretary, and whoever got it would be the luckiest one. Everyone of the three hoped that they could become Lin Shangzhou's secretary, as this was the purpose of each of them coming here.
"first…"
Lin Shangzhou looked at Bauman, and this action made Bauman immediately excited, while the remaining two people felt a deep sense of loss.
Wang Zhaoming and Speer knew that they would not be able to become Lin Shangzhou's secretary.
"Mr. Martin Baumann, I will hire you as my secretary. I hope you can work well in the future and help me share my worries."
"Okay, no problem, Editor-in-Chief Hipper!"
Bauman said in high spirits that he felt refreshed after being hired. Speer and Wang Zhaoming were also full of envy for Bauman.
Then Lin Shangzhou looked at Speer. When Speer saw Lin Shangzhou looking at him, he became nervous. The position of secretary was given to Baumann by Lin Shangzhou, so what position would he get?
"Mr. Albert Speer, I will hire you as the chief designer of the publishing department. Your main job is to optimize the layout of the newspaper. I believe that a beautiful layout design will bring us more customers."
The so-called chief designer was an idea that Lin Shangzhou came up with on the spur of the moment. He couldn't treat Speer unfairly, but it was inappropriate to give him the position of director of the publishing department directly, so he simply created a new position and then added this position. This position happened to be in line with Speer's major. He studied architectural design, so if he didn't design buildings, it would be okay to design newspaper layouts, right?
"Okay, thank you very much, Editor-in-Chief Hipper. I will definitely work harder."
Speer sincerely expressed his gratitude to Lin Shangzhou.
Wang Zhaoming turned her head to look at Speer who was standing on her right. She felt envious but also a little disappointed. She was also anxiously wondering what kind of position she would be assigned.
Finally, Lin Shangzhou looked at Wang Zhaoming, which made Wang Niang's heart suddenly nervous. What kind of job would she get?
"Ms. Wang Zhaoming, I will hire you as a copywriter and article reviewer for the newspaper. This is not an easy job, and I believe you will not let me down."
This sentence extinguished the enthusiasm in Wang Zhaoming's heart like cold water. Although Lin Shangzhou said that the job was not easy, anyone could see that this was a job that had little contact with him. What she wanted was close contact with Lin Shangzhou.
Although Wang Niang was dissatisfied, she had no intention of venting it. She knew that she was lucky enough to be hired and there was no need to demand so much.
Wang Zhaoming knew he had no other choice, so he said to Lin Shangzhou, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, I will definitely not let you down."

Chapter 207 Invitation and Pear Candy
After assigning work to the three people, Lin Shangzhou asked them to register with the personnel department. Baumann and Speer walked out of the room first, and Wang Zhaoming stood up and walked out as well.
"Ms. Wang, please wait a moment before going to the HR department. I have something to tell you."
Before she had taken a few steps, Lin Shangzhou called her. Wang Zhaoming stopped and turned to look at Lin Shangzhou in confusion. She walked to the table and asked Lin Shangzhou, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, do you have anything else to say?"
Lin Shangzhou chuckled and said, "My idea may be offensive, but I still want to tell you."
"you…"
Wang Zhaoming looked at him suspiciously, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Please go ahead. I won't mind as long as it's not something too outrageous."
"Well, when you came here, didn't you say that you had a conflict with the landlord over the rent? So I plan to rent you the first floor of my apartment at a preferential price. The room is fully furnished. The rent is 15 marks a month, and water and electricity bills are calculated separately."
Lin Shangzhou said this to Wang Zhaoming, which made Wang Zhaoming fall into silence. She knew very well that someone who showed kindness to others for no reason was either a traitor or a thief, so at this moment she was on guard against Lin Shangzhou, a man she met for the first time.
Seeing that she was silent and thinking for a long time without answering, Lin Shangzhou hurriedly said, "It's okay if you don't want to. I will ask someone to find a more suitable house for you in Berlin."
Wang Zhaoming looked at Lin Shangzhou hesitantly. She wanted to agree to Lin Shangzhou's invitation. After all, the rent of 15 marks a month was indeed cheap. But she was afraid that Lin Shangzhou had some bad intentions towards her. He invited her to stay in his apartment on the first meeting, and he was her boss.
As the saying goes, a man who has received favors from others will be grateful. Since I have accepted benefits from Lin Shangzhou, will he also ask for benefits from me in the future?
Thinking of this, Wang Zhaoming couldn't help but shudder. What kind of benefit would Lin Shangzhou ask for from a young girl like her? She could guess it with her toes.
But thinking about his own affairs, Wang Zhaoming was eager to accept Lin Shangzhou's invitation. After all, living in the same building with him would give him more opportunities to come into contact with him.
So Wang Zhaoming, who had hesitated for a long time, decided to ask Lin Shangzhou why he did this. She asked Lin Shangzhou: "Mr. Lin, why did you do this?"
"This is the first time we meet today, right? Isn't it inappropriate to offer such kindness to a girl you just met for the first time?"
Hearing this, Lin Shangzhou was happy. He could guess what Wang Niang was thinking. He admitted that he did have feelings for Wang Niang when he was playing on the tightrope in the past, but that was in the past, not now.
So Lin Shangzhou smiled and said, "After all, you are my compatriot, even though I speak German, use a German name, have German nationality, and am even an advisor to the German emperor."
He looked directly into Wang Zhaoming's eyes and said, word by word, in a sonorous and powerful voice: "But I will never forget that I am a Chinese."
Although in this world he can only be said to be "once a Chinese".
This sentence made Wang Zhaoming's heart tremble a little. She didn't expect Lin Shangzhou to say this. She felt a little shaken and felt that there was nothing wrong with agreeing to Lin Shangzhou's invitation.
Lin Shangzhou continued, "Besides, it would be very difficult for a girl like you to live in Germany, and it might be dangerous. My bodyguards live in my apartment, so you don't have to worry about your safety there."
After saying this, Lin Shangzhou realized that he might have said the wrong thing. LKMT might not have sent only Wang Niang here, so he changed his words and said, "If you have friends who want to come with you, you can all live in my apartment together, and the rent will not change."
Wang Zhaoming shook his head slightly and said, "I am very grateful for your invitation, Mr. Lin. It is indeed risky for me to live alone in Berlin, so I decided to accept your invitation and live in your apartment."
"I will discuss the check-out with the landlord when I get back, so Editor-in-Chief Lin, can you please write down the address of your apartment? I will go to your apartment after I check out."
"of course can."
Lin Shangzhou took out a piece of white paper from the drawer and tore off a small piece. Then he picked up a pen and wrote down the address of the apartment on it. After finishing, he handed it to Wang Zhaoming.
Wang Zhaoming clenched her left hand into a fist and took the note with her right hand. After looking at the address on it, she extended her left hand to Lin Shangzhou with a faint smile on her face. She said, "Editor-in-Chief, could you please extend your hand?"
"okay."
Lin Shangzhou was stunned for a moment before he stretched out his right hand and placed it under Wang Zhaoming's left hand. Then Wang Niang released her left hand, put the thing in her hand into Lin Shangzhou's hand, and quickly withdrew her hand.
Lin Shangzhou looked at the three square brown candies in his right palm, and after thinking of their names in his mind, he asked Wang Zhaoming, "Is this pear paste candy?"
Wang Zhaoming was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Lin Shangzhou actually knew that this was pear syrup candy. She took out a candy from her pocket, put it in her mouth and nodded to Lin Shangzhou.
"Well, pear jelly candy, I have a lot of it at home, I can give you some when I get to your apartment."
Lin Shangzhou put all three pear syrup candies into his mouth at once. The candies, which were not very hard to begin with, softened in his mouth, followed by a refreshing sweet taste. He couldn't remember whether he had eaten pear syrup candies before, and he chewed the candies with his teeth without any care.
The moment some of the softened candies were chewed, a cool and refreshing feeling rushed straight to the top of Lin Shangzhou's head.
Only then did he remember that pear paste candy tasted relatively cool...
Such a stimulating feeling made his expression distorted for a moment, and Wang Zhaoming, who had been holding back his laughter when he ate three candies in one breath just now, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lin Shangzhou, who was dazed by the cool feeling, didn't pay attention to Wang Zhaoming who was covering his mouth and laughing. He sat in the chair for a long time before he got over the feeling.
But after he got through it, every time he breathed, whether through his nose or mouth, he could feel an incomparable coolness.
(This pear paste candy is really strong...)
Lin Shangzhou subconsciously wanted to open his mouth and let out a breath, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a cool sensation, so he quickly closed his mouth again.
This funny look made Wang Zhaoming feel even funnier. Lin Shangzhou noticed that Wang Zhaoming was covering her mouth and laughing, so he looked up at her.
When Wang Zhaoming saw Lin Shangzhou looking at him, he immediately stopped smiling.
"I forgot that pear syrup is more refreshing..."
Lin Shangzhou said awkwardly that he had indeed forgotten this. Holding back his smile, Wang Zhaoming hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief, I forgot to tell you this."
"It's okay, just think of it as a refreshment."
Lin Shangzhou waved his hand at her, and after a while, he smiled and said to Wang Zhaoming: "I may have to take more pear paste candy from you at that time. I hope you don't mind."
Wang Zhaoming looked at Lin Shangzhou, smiled and said, "It's okay, you can take it when you want."
Then Lin Shangzhou stood up from the chair with his hands on his knees. After he stood up, he said to Wang Zhaoming: "Let's go, it's time to go to the Human Resources Department. I'll take you there."
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief."
Wang Zhaoming expressed his gratitude to Lin Shangzhou, and then followed Lin Shangzhou out of the room.
He took Wang Zhaoming to the Human Resources Department, where he registered her, then took her to her post and helped her familiarize herself with the work before returning to his office.
When Lin Shangzhou entered the office, he did not see Bauman standing inside as he had expected. He sat in his chair, and as soon as he sat down, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bauman opened the door, came to Lin Shangzhou's desk and asked, "Editor-in-Chief, should I start working now?"
"Of course, then there will be trouble."
Lin Shangzhou nodded, and then began to deal with today's work.
.
Chapter 208 Check-in
During his free time at work, Lin Shangzhou asked Wang Zhaoming about moving. She said she planned to move to Lin Shangzhou's apartment this weekend. Lin Shangzhou told her that she could ask him for help if she encountered any difficulties. Wang Zhaoming smiled but said nothing.
After chatting with Wang Zhaoming about work, Lin Shangzhou went to the publishing department to talk to Speer. After learning that he was quite satisfied with his work, he returned to his office.
With Bauman's help, Lin Shangzhou felt much more relaxed at work. After feeling Bauman's ability, Lin Shangzhou couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being the secretary of Little Mustache.
Saturday came quickly. That afternoon, Lin Shangzhou did not stay on the second floor but came to the living room of Bode's house on the first floor. He sat on the sofa, flipping through English textbooks while waiting for Wang Zhaoming to arrive.
After arriving at the newspaper office, the girl didn't communicate much with him, nor did she ask him for any favors. Since the other party didn't ask him, Lin Shangzhou didn't approach her to show his affection.
Bode came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly washed apples. He took an apple and handed it to Lin Shangzhou and put the plate on the table.
Lin Shangzhou took the apple and thanked him. Bode sat on the sofa and said to Lin Shangzhou: "Mr. Hipper, will the Chinese girl you mentioned move in this afternoon?"
Lin Shangzhou nodded, then closed the book and turned to look out the window. He just thought of something very interesting.
He was wondering if Wang Zhaoming was from LKMT, then how would she contact the people in France?
When this question came up, the first thing he thought of was to use telegram to communicate. If they used telegram to communicate, then Wang Zhaoming's luggage would have contained a transmitter.
After thinking about this matter for a while, Lin Shangzhou stopped thinking about it. He was 99% sure that Wang Zhaoming was a member of LKMT, but as long as he was not 100% sure and could not provide evidence that she was from France and was a member of LKMT, then this 99% was just a guess.
Moreover, he currently has no intention of exposing Wang Niang's identity. He wants to see what this girl will do next, when she will talk to him about LKMT, and when and with what reasons she will try to win him over.
Lin Shangzhou turned his head back and stopped thinking about it. He opened the book again and read the contents. Seeing that Lin Shangzhou was studying seriously, Bode did not disturb him and sat quietly on the sofa reading.
He has no other hobbies in his daily life except reading.
About half an hour later, Lin Shangzhou heard the crisp sound of a doorbell from outside the door. After hearing the doorbell, he and Bode put the books in their hands on the table at the same time and stood up to open the door.
The two of them couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw each other stand up at the same time. Lin Shangzhou said to Bode: "I'll go open the door, you sit down."
"Yes, Mr. Hipper."
Bode sat down again, while Lin Shangzhou walked to the door of the room, opened it and walked out, then walked to the main door and opened it.
After opening the door, he saw a girl in blue standing in front of the door as he expected. There was a faint smile on her face, as if she was born with this expression.
"Good afternoon, Editor-in-Chief Lin."
"Good afternoon, Miss Wang."
Wang Zhaoming smiled and greeted Lin Shangzhou, who smiled back at her. He noticed the large suitcase beside Wang Zhaoming's feet, so after greeting her, he said to her, "Do you need me to help you carry your luggage?"
Wang Zhaoming's eyes flashed with hesitation, then he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, the editor-in-chief."
"Little things, little things."
Lin Shangzhou waved his hand gently, then bent down and picked up the suitcase. The moment he lifted the suitcase, he felt the unusual weight of the suitcase.
He carried the suitcase in one hand and stepped aside to make way for Wang Zhaoming. After she entered the apartment, he joked, "Miss Wang, your suitcase is really heavy. Is your entire suitcase filled with pear jelly candies?"
Wang Zhaoming smiled and said, "Editor-in-Chief, your guess is correct. I did bring a lot of pear syrup candies."
Lin Shangzhou was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "It can't be all pear jelly candy?!"
"It's just a small part. The rest is mine."
Hearing this, Lin Shangzhou looked down at the suitcase in his hand, with a hint of curiosity on his face. In Wang Zhaoming's opinion, he was curious about what was in his suitcase.
Lin Shangzhou was indeed curious, but this curiosity was only a small part of his mind. He was more speculating whether the box contained a telegraph machine.
Wang Zhaoming saw that Lin Shangzhou was becoming more and more curious about his box, so he said, "Editor-in-chief, it is very rude to be curious about a girl's personal belongings."
"Ah... Sorry, in that case I won't ask you what you brought."
"fine."
Because Wang Zhaoming and Bode already knew each other, after they greeted each other, Lin Shangzhou took Wang Zhaoming upstairs.
"Are you sure you want the fourth floor instead of the third? Wouldn't the third floor be more convenient?"
On the stairs, Lin Shangzhou asked Wang Zhaoming behind him as he walked up, the vacant floors are the third and fourth floors of the apartment. Generally speaking, people would choose the third floor, unless they like to live on the top floor, in which case they would choose the fourth floor if there is a lower floor available.
