I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1029 - 1027: Congratulations to a Classmate Hired by the Brewery!

The HR manager put on a professional smile, "Alright, President Jing, please everyone, scan the code to enter the exam system and answer online. I’ll help you with the online approval."

Interesting!

The classmates quickly scanned the QR code and began answering questions. The groom showed no displeasure at the interruption of the wedding banquet; instead, he was thrilled and said, "Thank you, President Jing, for the wedding gift. Xiao Xuan and I both love it."

Jing Shu smiled, "You only have today for your wedding leave. Tomorrow, make sure to be at work."

A paid wedding leave is probably a benefit unique to her factories.

Mu Xiaoxuan chimed in from the side, "Alright, President Jing. I’ll report to the air purification factory as the manager tomorrow. I’ll make sure to do a great job!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

What?

What does it mean to be the manager of an air purification factory?

The classmates, who were just answering questions, quickly looked up, staring at Mu Xiaoxuan in shock.

Su Malie was also surprised, "Ah Zhu, you actually transferred Mu Xiaoxuan from Stone Garden to a private factory?"

Jing Shu nodded, "In the South Sea, Stone Garden doesn’t have much of an advantage. Xiao Xuan managed Stone Garden very well, so I thought it’d be better to transfer him to this factory to expand, plus it’s a perfect match for his expertise."

Su Malie thought it over and agreed, then said with a smile, "Looks like in the future, I’ll have to liaise with you for air purification branches, but some people here still prefer those that are cut into jewelry."

Those flashy but impractical things.

Clearly, a single branch could solve the issue, yet it had to be made into bracelets, necklaces, even mobile incense, and had to have peach or mint scents... the price soared by hundreds of times.

Mu Xiaoxuan handed over two antique-style pendants with Chinese knot decorations, "These are some samples I carved, planned for a high-end limited edition. Take a look. They’re made from top-quality branches and can purify the air within five meters while giving off a natural fragrance."

What on earth?

The classmates were bewildered, as if they understood the words but couldn’t comprehend them when put together.

"Didn’t the news say that the new natural disaster is this foul air and there’s nothing that can be done about it?"

"Yeah, they even said air purification and perfumes were useless, but a research institute claimed to have developed purifying branches, though it’s still under research, right?"

"Xiao Xuan, could you mean the stuff we saw in the news?"

Many classmates looked at Mu Xiaoxuan suspiciously.

"No way, right? The news said it’s only available in the Imperial Capital. How could we have it here?"

"Oh my goodness, haven’t you noticed that we’ve been here for so long and there’s no bad smell?"

"Yeah, I thought I had lost my sense of smell from the stink."

Mu Xiaoxuan smiled, "You’re right. President Jing’s private factory sells things that can purify this stench." He turned to Jing Shu and explained, "I brought some scraps here, and the hotel owner liked them very much, so I signed a contract to sell them products at a low price."

Jing Shu patted Mu Xiaoxuan, "I see you’re here to do business and got married along the way! Nicely done. I trust you can run the factory well."

The wedding banquet continued, though today’s meal was simply potatoes and mushrooms, seaweed soup, synthetic meat, and each person got a small bowl of rice. The classmates were all preoccupied, their faces sallow with frustration. Who would have thought that the online exam questions would be so difficult, even harder than a flipping traditional exam!

At the end of the wedding, the groom said, "President Jing, only one person scored excellently, familiar with beer brewing and hop craftsmanship, and also very knowledgeable about essential oil extraction. I’d like to place him/her in the manufacturing department. What do you think?"

Jing Shu nodded. Talents, she needed them.

The groom then announced the name, "Congratulations Wang Yuhong, you passed the assessment. From today, you are officially a staff member of the brewery, but you must undergo new assessments every month. If you’re caught stealing or selling factory information, you’ll be fired and required to pay ten times your salary as compensation."

The basic monthly salary for official staff is 800 Virtual Coins, and it includes meals and accommodation. Direct relatives over 65 years old and children under 7 can eat for free and attend the factory’s kindergarten. You’ll also receive four sets of work clothes annually and some daily necessities..."

As he read out the benefits and salary, other classmates gasped, knowing the brewery had good benefits, but they didn’t expect them to be this good.

"One person working can support the entire family and even bring relatives to eat for free."

Everyone looked enviously at the modest female classmate, who prior to this had just been working at an oil extraction plant.

The oil extraction plant was a little-known type of work, rumored to be managed by the Township Government, but veiled in mystery, operating only at night, meaning she worked night shifts and rested during the day.

In recent years, Wang Yuhong had not had it easy. Her entire family was gone, even her husband had passed away, leaving her with a six-year-old child and a mother-in-law, which made it hard to find work since she had a child to look after, leading to a very tough life.

She almost never came to class reunions.

When asked, she’d only say she was too busy with work.

"I’ve never heard that the Township Government had an oil extraction plant, let alone one that only operates at night."

"What’s left to extract oil from nowadays? There’s no oil plant in all of Wu City, probably just trying to look good."

Only Jing Shu frowned slightly, not expecting that the tyrant finally opened that plant. Was it only after coming to the South Sea?
