Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-One Fair, Just and Open(2/2)
This “flat” organizational structure made all supervisors’ eyes light up.
Anyone who understands officialdom knows that it is not important what you do, but who you follow to do it.
This Qin Dewei is recognized as a future superstar. Rumor has it that he is 80% likely to become a minister and 60% likely to become a bachelor!
Most of them are runaway supervisors with no connections, otherwise they would not be selected as translators. They would never have the chance to meet a person of Qin Dewei's level.
But if he could deal directly with Qin Dewei at the Seyi Pavilion, maybe he would be a blessing in disguise and become a well-connected person?
Yan Shifan also felt the change. The yard, which was full of resentment just now, actually had a slightly joyful atmosphere.
But Yan Jiansheng was also really puzzled. How could Qin Dewei, who was famously arrogant, lower his dignity and mingle with such a street-loving group like a Western-style translator?
As he thought about it, Yan Jiansheng was horrified. Could it be that Qin Dewei did not hesitate to do so in order to take revenge on himself?
After Qin Dewei and others digested the "surprise", they started talking about business: "When starting a Western-style restaurant, there are two most important things!
The first is to study the "A Brief Introduction to the West" written by me and understand the general situation of the Western countries!
The second is to find some teachers to teach you the French language! You may also learn other Western languages in the future!"
Then some people actively expressed their position and said: "But it depends on the orders of Academician Qin!"
The first thing is easy to say, everyone can just go to school, but the second thing is difficult, where can I find someone who can speak the French language?
Qin Dewei said confidently: "It's not difficult, it just takes some time. Now the Fo Langji people only appear in Guangdong.
There were some Han Chinese who were proficient in the Fo Lang machine language and worked as generals on the Fo Lang machine ships. It was these Han people who got the prototype of the Fo Lang machine gun.
Therefore, I plan to send people from the Western Pavilion to stay on the coast of Guangdong to look for people who are proficient in Fo Lang Ji's language. The best ones know the information about Fo Lang Ji!
At the same time, we must also collect Western books and information on the activities of the Folangji people in Nanyang, and if necessary, go to sea to conduct field inspections in Nanyang."
The courtyard suddenly became quiet, and everyone was watching, fearing that Shangguan Qin would notice.
Because no one wants to drive eight thousand miles to Guangdong to enjoy the sea breeze. This job is simply the ultimate exile treatment.
Qin Dewei seemed helpless and sighed: "Although it is very difficult, we must send people there, otherwise where can we find a master who understands the Buddhist language?
If you can't even learn the French language, how can you keep a Western restaurant open?"
At this time, only Yan Jiansheng was shocked. He originally thought that after arriving at Siyi Pavilion, he would be in a low status and be trampled on by Qin Dewei in revenge.
But he didn't expect that Qin Dewei would actually do such an errand that was equivalent to being exiled eight thousand miles!
Going to Guangdong to be the governor is called a good job, and going to Guangdong to be the tax collector of the overseas trade market is also a good job.
But if you go to Guangdong to stay on the seaside, blow the sea breeze, find people who can speak Buddhist language, collect books on Buddha language, inquire about news, and possibly go to Nanyang, how different is it from being exiled to the army and exiled for eight thousand miles?
Yan Jiansheng had a hunch that this job was tailor-made for him! The most poisonous thing was Qin Dewei!
Qin Dewei glanced around for a few times, but no one dared to look at him. Even the most unruly Yan Jiansheng lowered his head in fear.
Yan Jiansheng secretly vowed that if Qin Dewei dared to force him to go, he would break up and make a fuss.
But what surprised Yan Jiansheng was that Qin Dewei still didn't mention his name, but instead started to brag:
"I never like to force my work, and I won't force you to do it! So, I will list some conditions, and then you will nominate candidates on your own!
Remember, the principles of my office are fairness, impartiality, and openness! The candidate who is elected is the one whom everyone expects!"
Before anyone could react, Qin Dewei listed several more conditions: "The candidates who will be stationed in Guangdong this time must meet three conditions.
First, they must be unmarried to avoid long-term family separation;
Second, the age should be under twenty-five, so that the body is at its strongest;
Third, it is best to be from the south, preferably from provinces close to Guangdong, so that you can better adapt to the climate of Guangdong."
If you don’t think about it carefully, these conditions are very reasonable. After Qin Dewei finished the list, he stood with his hands behind his hands and said with great grace:
"I fully respect your wishes and will never force others to make things difficult for you. So you should quickly select your own candidate in a fair, just and open manner!"
Yan Shifan always felt that something was wrong. After a dozen supervisors had finished discussing with each other, he found that among them, there was only one candidate who fully met the conditions.
It was none other than Yan Jiansheng, a twenty-three-year-old unmarried man from Jiangxi.
So everyone quickly started the selection process. The process was completely open, fair and fair, and the people voted enthusiastically.
Finally, in response to popular expectations, Yan Jiansheng was collectively elected as the Western Museum's clerk in Guangdong.
Yan Jiansheng was a bit clever, but he was really not mentally prepared to be exiled eight thousand miles and enjoy the sea breeze.
