"Why are you so anxious?" Feiqi's wife stopped him and asked.
"Nafu City is recruiting new public officials, and I will definitely be selected this time!" Feiqi clenched his fists and said excitedly.
When his wife saw it, she didn't say he was just dreaming. Instead, she smiled and waved her hand, "Then you go early and come back early. I'll be cooking at home and waiting for you."
She knew that her husband was an ardent fan of the lord. He had spent a lot of effort on literacy, learning and reciting the law before, just to be able to work under the lord. However, by the time he had learned enough, the civil service positions were almost full, and only a few people were recruited every year. With such huge competition, it would be difficult to pass the exam.
Now because of Book of Laws's incident, many public officials have resigned, so a large number of positions have been vacant. Now Feiqi finally has a chance.
"I will definitely pass the exam!" Feiqi waved his fist and said to his wife.
"I have always believed that you can pass the exam." The wife returned with a smile.
Feiqi turned around and hugged his wife tightly before walking out of the door, "I love you."
After Feiqi left, the wife reacted belatedly, her face suddenly turned red, she stopped what she was doing, covered her hot face, and muttered secretly, "Why have I never seen you say such things before..."
At the same time, in Nafu City's East District tavern, Primo slammed the beer glass in his hand on the bar. Listening to the discussions of the people in the tavern, he became even more irritable.
"Have you heard? There are a lot of vacancies for public servants now. Do you think we should take the exam for one?"
"Are you still hesitating? My neighbor's boy went there and queued up early in the morning. If you go there now, you will probably have to queue up to the city gate."
"Scared! There are so many people!" The person who asked the question was shocked.
"Of course there are more. They are working for the lord, and the treatment for public servants is so good. Starting from thirty Gold Coins a year, the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods, and there are various hidden benefits. If my skills were not insufficient, I would be lining up now."
"If the salary is so good, why do so many people resign?"
"Tch, those people who resigned are just being stupid. They really think they are very capable. They can only use the platform given by the lord to dominate. Now the lord has come up with Book of Laws. They can't abuse their power in the future, but they feel that their level is very strong. They can't recognize the reality. It would be better if they get a few more beatings after they come out."
Primo's face became even more ugly, because he was the fool those two people said.
They, the public officials, thought that after joining forces to submit resignation letters to Regan to put pressure on them, the superiors would consider the impact and not go too far and lower the standards. But what they didn't expect was that because of Claire's permission, Regan directly agreed to all the resignation applications they submitted, and they suddenly became unemployed.
Now Griffin Territory has developed to a certain stage and has tended to develop steadily and upward. It is not at all the golden period before. Although these people are capable, they are not particularly capable and have no unique competitive advantages. Under the current circumstances, the wages of the jobs they can find are less than half of what they used to be as public servants.
Regan immediately held a job fair for public officials after dismissing them. This obviously blocked their way back and left no room for them.
"Tons, tons, tons!"
The angry Primo raised his head and poured in all the beer, then smashed the beer glass onto the bar.
"Sir, please don't do this, it will damage the cup." The waiter at the bar reminded.
"I want you to take care of me!" Primo was now in a bad mood, so he cursed back, "I have plenty of money, I can smash it if I like, and I will pay if you damage me. What does it have to do with you as a waiter!"
However, the waiter was not frightened. There was a hint of looking at the mentally retarded in his eyes, and he said, "If you smash it again, I will call the law enforcement officer over. Then we will see who is justified."
"You're scaring me!" Primo's tone rose a lot, and he raised the glass in his hand and just threw it at the waiter, but the guests who were drinking in the tavern stood up together. They were all regular customers of the tavern, how could they just watch people come in and cause damage to the tavern.
This frightened Primo sobered up most of his body in an instant, and the glass he held high was slowly placed back on the bar in front of everyone.
However, Primo still felt a little thorny in this tavern, so he picked up his coat, stood up and walked towards the entrance of the tavern. Before leaving, he said a harsh word, "Just wait until I become a public official again, and I will arrest you all!"
But as soon as he finished speaking harshly, everyone in the tavern raised their middle fingers behind his back and booed.
"Shh!"
"Just you? Go home and plant sweet potatoes!"
"If someone like you could become a public official, I would stand on my head and wash my hair."
"I believe you might as well believe that the boy from my family can take the first place in the school exam..."
Listening to the taunts coming from behind, Primo did not dare to turn around and confront the guests in the tavern. He could only curse secretly in his heart. After leaving the door, he found the direction of the job fair and strode over.
In Mermaid Plaza where the recruitment meeting was held, Feiqi stood on tiptoes and looked at the team in front, trying to see how many people were in front of him?
After watching for a while, he was suddenly patted on the back, "Hey! How long have you been waiting in line at the front?"
Feiqi turned his head in confusion, looked at the not very polite Primo behind him and replied, "I just came here too, so I'm not very clear."
After Feiqi turned around, Primo also saw Feiqi's dress clearly, and asked in a somewhat arrogant tone, "You are not from Nafu City, are you? There is no one dressed like you in Nafu City."
After hearing this, Feiqi felt a little uncomfortable and used his hand to cover his slightly old-fashioned clothes. In order to avoid embarrassment, Feiqi asked again, "You are also here to participate in the recruitment meeting for public officials, right?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm not here to attend the recruitment meeting. Am I here to take a walk?" Primo feels so good now that he can vent out all the anger he received in the tavern on this bumpkin.
"Haha, that's right." Feiqi felt like he was asking nonsense.
Then Feiqi saw Primo looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze. After looking at him for a while, he said, "Are you coming to the recruitment meeting too?"
"Yes."
"I advise you to give up. You won't be able to pass the exam."
Feiqi blushed all of a sudden. He could ignore everything Primo said before, but he couldn't use this as an excuse, so he retorted, "Why do you say I can't pass the exam!"
"Because I was a public official before, so of course I know that someone like you will not be able to pass the exam."
"Then why did you come to take the exam again after leaving your job?"
"Ah..." Primo was at a loss for words for a moment, but he quickly came up with an excuse, "I'm just trying to test my ability. I plan to quit and then take the exam, otherwise others will say that my position was unfairly obtained!"
After saying this, Primo was a little impressed with himself for being able to come up with such a good excuse in such a short time.
