Chapter 536: British Business Card

Carrying two large suitcases, Luna walked briskly back to the offices of the London Maids Guild.

"Alice, Becky, you're all here. ”

Alice and Becky, who were in the room, were relieved to see that it was her who had come in.

"President, where have you been these days?"

"I went to sign a big deal. Luna looked at them and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Recently, many sisters who have lost their jobs have come to join us, and we can't support it anymore. ”

Luna slammed the box on the floor and asked curiously, "Why are so many people out of jobs all of a sudden?"

"That's right. Alice explained, "It is rumored that a mysterious rich man from a foreign country is about to get married, and every day he sends people to sweep the shops along the commercial district and roll up valuable daily necessities. ”

"I happened to see a scene in the street that day, and I was so scared that I thought it was a robbery. Betsy stuck out her tongue, "All kinds of big bags and small wraps are carried out of the store like running water, as if they don't cost anything." ”

"This foreigner is so rich. Alice sighed, "I heard that he not only brought amazing wealth, but also a high nobleman with the title of marquis, very young, very handsome, and very fond of culture, and funded the publication of many best-selling books......"

"Alright, alright. Luna quickly stopped the two of them, "I've heard about this too, but what does it have to do with our maid's unemployment?"

"Of course it does. "You think, those high-end everyday things." It is necessary for aristocratic families to maintain decency. The mysterious rich man bought most of the supply, and the market price would naturally skyrocket. The other nobles could not save this cost, and the expenses increased greatly. ”

Alice continued. In order to reduce expenses, these aristocratic families began to lay off their helpers, so that more and more maids lost their jobs. ”

Luna sighed, "I see. ”

Betsy said indignantly, "That foreign marquis is so rich, and he is making a big deal of marriage, but I haven't heard that he hired a maid, did he use all the servants he brought in, so that we all had to lose our jobs?"

"Maybe it's because people don't know where to find a good maid. Alice said. "I think we can try to take the initiative to contact him, maybe he is also worried about the shortage of manpower. ”

"That shopping convoy ends every day out of the city. "This man must have a manor castle in the countryside, and who knows exactly where he lives." ”

She suddenly remembered, "President, you said earlier that you signed a big order, so there are a lot of job opportunities?"

"yes. ”

Alice praised. "I knew that the president would not waste time, and he must be busy planning for everyone. ”

Betsy was surprised and said, "But at this time, what other nobles are actually not laying off people, but are recruiting workers?"

Luna spoke casually. "There will always be, like the Marquis who is going to get married......"

"What?"

Alice and Betsy glanced at each other and saw each other's look of surprise. Knowing that he had heard correctly, he raised his hand at the same time. Cheers, "Hooray!"

"President. You are so powerful that you can connect with such a mysterious foreigner. After being happy for a while, Alice sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"What treatment, what treatment?" asked Betsy anxiously, "then the rich marquis must not be stingy, right?"

Luna pointed to the two crates she had brought, "Here's a part. ”

A box was immediately opened by Becky, "Wow, that's a lot of clothes!"

Luna explains, "There are five sets of maids' clothes in this box, three are overalls, one is a regular dress, and one is a formal dress. ”

"Wait-" Becky was confused, "why do maids still have regular and formal dresses?"

"Well, the marquis of the family is very decent, and on the day of the wedding, all the maids must also change into dresses, so that they look more solemn and magnificent. ”

Alice pushed her companion, "Becky, you can put it on first." ”

Betsy excitedly put on her gown. Although this set of mink clothing still retains the flavor of a maid's outfit in general, the gorgeous materials, the fine tailoring, and the exquisite style have a very extraordinary temperament.

"I almost don't recognize you!" Alice looked and looked at and exclaimed, "Is this still a maid, this is a noble lady!"

"It's not enough. Luna shook her head, gesturing to the pile of boxes in the box, "Betsy, put these on, too." ”

Becky opened the box one by one, and saw necklaces, rings, ear drills, hairpins and other jewelry, all of which were still fine.

"It's too exaggerated to have these configurations, right?"

Luna said, "It's part of the dress, too. ”

Alice only felt dizzy, "The maids are all dressed so luxuriously, what should the guests do on the wedding day?"

"Your worries are unnecessary. Luna looked serious, "Maids are originally representatives of British culture, and it's normal to be in the limelight." ”

The two girls stayed together, "How did the maid become a representative of British culture?"

"As Britain becomes the hegemon of the world economy, the national income is also rising simultaneously, which also means that the cost of labor is rising, the competitiveness of industrial products will naturally decline, and industry and agriculture will no longer be the mainstream in the future. ”

Luna gushed, "The transformation of the future economic structure of the United Kingdom must be the continuous increase in the proportion of the tertiary industry, and the financial and service industries will support the national economy." As a representative of the service industry, our maid will definitely develop in the transformation and upgrading, will be indispensable in the daily society, and will definitely become a business card of local culture and a key word of British style in the future. ”

The two audience members were stunned, and Luna breathed a sigh of relief, "So, since we are all cultural representatives, we need to make sure that we are outstanding at all times." Dressing gorgeously and dignifiedly, with a well-behaved demeanor, is a necessary move to fully show your charm. ”

β€œ...... We get it, but that's going to happen in the future, right?"

"Now and in the future are about the same, don't worry so much. Luna waved her hand, "Now that you understand, let's take this job seriously." ”

Betsy hesitated for a moment and asked, "President, just now you said that these clothes and jewelry belong to the remuneration, isn't it really a temporary loan for us to wear?"

Not to mention those jewels, as well as gorgeous dresses, even those three overalls are made of high-grade fabrics. Betsy felt that if all these things were to herself, it would be a bit of a dream.

"Of course it's true, every maid who takes over this job will receive a box like this, and the contents are all yours. ”

"Great!" said Betsy happily, "as long as I complete this mission, my dowry for the rest of my life will be enough." ”

Alice was more sober, "This box is only a part of the payment, does the marquis have to pay another salary?"

"Wearing these clothes and jewelry is just helping the marquis to put on a faΓ§ade, so of course these cannot be regarded as real rewards. ”

Luna smiled and said, "As for the actual salary, settle on a daily basis, a hundred pounds a day." ”

"No, isn't it?" stammered Alice, "That's a ridiculously high daily wage, more than the annual income of a middle-class family!"

Betsy couldn't help but think thoughtfully, "I feel that our employer this time is so poor that there is only money left." ”

Luna coughed, "What do you think?"

"No opinion, no opinion, how can I have an opinion!" Betsy shook her hands, "After this transaction, I can directly save up the pension for the rest of my life, and I will definitely not be unable to get along with money!"

She turned her head, "Alice, did you say?"

Alice sighed softly, as if remembering something, and her face was sad.

"What's the matter with you?" Becky was stunned, "People have offered such a high price, aren't you still satisfied with the salary?"

"Betsy, you and everyone should go and work for that marquis. Alice smiled reluctantly, "You know, I was forbidden by the court to get involved in maid work, and I could only give some guidance and help to my sisters, and I couldn't come to my door. ”

"Oh my God, this is so unfair!" Becky reacted at once, and said indignantly, "You are the best maid among us, just because those stupid and vicious nobles have been deprived of even the most basic right to work, how can the world be so dark!" (To be continued......
