Chapter 764: Done Deal
When Astra finally returned to the room, I had already gone through and signed the contracts of our new workers, officially taking over their lives for the next few years and using these minutes to whip up a well thought out and flawless contract that we all signed together that promised they would work for the things I promised to provide.
They weren't just slaves to
but instead workers, actual people that I was going to be responsible for and hopefully the future backbone of one of my businesses; that was one of the hardest things about owning a business, and I hoped that I was striking gold here inside of the Auction House.
Finding people - good, hardworking people - who wanted to work and remain loyal to a specific store for as long as possible was really hard to do, and I was lucky enough to have found a formula that worked well enough that most of my stores saw little turnover in terms of required employees.
I had unskilled labor positions, of course - those positions that anyone could do for adequate but not great pay for however long they needed before they found sothing better - and I also had so employees get 'poached' by other Nobles for a skilled senior employee to eventually beco a manager, and while I couldn't guarantee it off of the top of my head most of those that left because of that did succeed, so...
My track record was quite good, and I hoped that the rough gemstones sitting in front of
were willing to be brought out of their rough shells so that I could polish them into sothing incredible, and already I was seeing quite a lot of promise, at least in how they communicated with one another.
Brix was by far the most sociable of the bunch - for better or worse thanks to her disposition - with Jingzhi being right behind her, the Crowkin becoming quite excited when I accepted her unorthodox desire of wanting to be paid in trinkets instead of actual coin.
Then there was Biscuit, the Squirelkin rchant who simply seed more interested in being Arani's assistant manager instead of a typical worker, her tiredness dissipating when she asked
- almost begged
- if she could take over more responsibilities to light the Dawn Elf's burdens.
All of them were rather unique, and while so were quieter than normal - like Ceva, as well as Bas to a degree - they were all skilled and worth this extra personal effort to 'hire', so I was quite happy with myself when it was all finally said and done.
When Astra did return, it was clear to
that she had been having so fun recently by how happy she seed, but to everyone else my Secretary was just excited about this being over as she took her spot beside , giving
a nod when I said "Everything is completed. All of their contracts are inked and we just need to speak to Heather about the paynt."
"Good~! It is a bit of sha that we need to leave you here for another few days, but I look forwards to eting all of you soon~!"
I nodded again at that, looking at all of the slaves and taking in their reactions before I said "You'll be receiving better als during those days that should be comparable to the als you receive for the upcoming years. In the anti I'll be working to furbish that apartnt building for you all and acquiring your uniforms."
Getting confirmations from everyone yet again, I stood up and grabbed the papers before saying "This is the last opportunity to ask any questions; otherwise, I'll be finalizing the paynt for your contracts and leaving the Auction House." my eyes gliding over each of them twice as I waited for a question to be raised.
When none ca I nodded to myself and bid them goodbye, leaving the room behind with Astra and wondering how to break the news to her that I needed her to completely restructure an empty building into an apartnt building complete with furniture...
We made our way back to the front in relative quiet, though I did ask "Did you get your own contracts secured, Astra?
