"Are there many Kitlander workers in the Karon industrial area?" Roland turned to Semyon Ivanovich and asked.

"There are quite a few, there are more than 4,000 registered Kitland workers in the steel mills alone, and there are similar numbers in Alkali Lake and the mines, and there are more than 10,000 Kitland workers in other industries." Semyon Ivanovich replied.

"With so many laborers from the north, and their customs and habits are different from those of the locals, will it be difficult to manage?" Roland then asked him.

"Not really!" The director of the management committee shook his head again and again, "When I first received this group of northerners, I was also a little frightened, worried that these big guys would cause trouble, but it turned out that there was no need to worry at all, the Kitland workers were very disciplined, worked hard, and their temper was not as hot as imagined, I heard that they were all sent through an agency called 'Kitland Labor Dispatch Company', and the company also sent representatives in the factory, part-time or something" If a Kitlander commits a crime here, the dispatch company will cancel his contract and send him back to his hometown, where he will be ridiculed and humiliated by his family, so they pay special attention to discipline. ”

"Labor dispatch company ......" Roland thought for a while, remembering that this was the labor export model he discussed with Shabalin, after three years, Shabahin had put the original idea into practice, worthy of a trade union leader with explosive action.

"Your Highness Roland, look over there—that half-human, half-lion lady is the business representative and head of the union of the Kitland Labor Dispatch Company in the Karon Industrial Zone."

Roland followed Semyon Ivanovich's line of sight, and immediately saw a familiar figure, smiling and waving: "Nini Lamia, long time no see!" ”

"Huh? Mr. Roland! The pretty and toned human lion lady turned around and stared at her eyes in surprise, and trotted all the way to Roland, "Ah! Look at my brain, I should call you His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"Don't see old friends, why did you come here, did you not do well in the fighting arena and were fired?" Roland asked jokingly. He still remembers that Nini Lamia was a gladiatorial instructor in the arena, and occasionally went into battle to compete with others to earn some extra money.

"Phew! Not really! Miss Lion gave him a delicate look, "My performance in the arena has always been very good, when I submitted my resignation, the boss also raised my salary to keep it, but I am tired of the life of fighting and killing, how boring it is to nest on the icy and snowy plateau all my life, the world is so big, I want to go out and walk while I am still young, it just so happens that the labor dispatch company founded by Mr. Shabalin has business dealings with Karon Industrial Zone, and needs a representative to be stationed here, I want to come to the south to see the world, so I applied for this job, As a result, I was lucky enough to be selected! Nini Lamia smirked.

"The climate and living habits in the south are different from those on the northern plateau, are you still used to it here?" Roland asked.

Miss Lion was moved by his thoughtfulness and smiled gratefully: "I am not used to it, life is quite comfortable, and when I first go into the city to shop, many people will always stop and look back at me, which is a bit weird...... But now I don't care. ”

"As for work...... Nini Lamia couldn't help laughing, "it's going well, the boys treat me as a big sister, and I try my best to help them solve their difficulties in work and life, and Mr. Semyon Ivanovich usually takes good care of me, that is, he always urges me to recruit more Kitlanders to come, making me look like a human trafficker!" ”

The director of the management committee defended himself: "This is all because the Kitland workers work hard, and the welfare benefits are not as picky as the locals, and the industrialists who open the factory want to hire as many high-quality laborers from the northern plateau as possible, and I am also a ......messenger for others."

"We Kitlanders work harder and pay the same wages as local workers, is that a bit unreasonable?" Nini Lamia skillfully switches from the role of "human trafficker" to the role of "union representative", and puts her hands on her hips in a labor negotiation posture.

The director of the management committee was embarrassed: "Don't talk to me about this kind of thing, I can't control it, you better talk to the shareholders of the steel plant." ”

Nini Lamia gave him a blank look, turned her head and smiled at Roland: "Your Royal Highness, for the sake of your old friend, remember to find an opportunity to help us Kitlanders fight for a raise, I thank you in advance!" Then he waved his hand and said goodbye, twisted his waist and left.

"Whew...... This lioness is really tough! Semyon Ivanovich breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Nini Lamia's wild and charismatic back.

Roland agrees, and Nini Lamia thinks of another strong woman who is active in the Karon industrial area and has been in the limelight lately.

"Semyon Ivanovich, do you know Isabel Lange? This is the lady of the watch factory that I hired from the town of Sayre. ”

"Of course I do! Ms. Isabel is a rising star in our capital's 'Industrialists' Club', and many young and promising men are proud to have befriended her, but ......"

"But how?" Roland asked curiously.

"But her mother, the Madame Lange, is very good enough to keep a very good watch over her daughter, and if any gentleman tries to invite Miss Isabel out to play, she will be questioned again and again, and she will never allow her daughter to be close to her unless she has a good reputation and a clean family background, and I have heard that several of the famous playboys of the capital's high society who tried to associate with Miss Isabel had suffered enough from her mother, and had to give up pursuing Miss Isabelle."

The director of the management committee told the gossip with his eyebrows, and the eight-woman-like demeanor made Roland laugh.

"You know a lot about Isabel's private life."

"Hey! Look at what you said, there is only one young and beautiful lady among the thousands of members of the Colasbourg Industrialists' Club, and even if I don't want to ask, the rumors about Miss Isabel will keep pouring into my ears and eyes! The old man skillfully shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to pretend to be innocent.

Everywhere in the world, the small circle of industrialists is dominated by men, and even machismo prevails. It is not difficult for Roland to imagine what a strong conceptual impact Isabelle's entry into the Industrialists' Club had on the arrogant and conservative gentlemen, and it is not surprising that scandals about the female factory director are rife.
