"After that, I kept moving around in various departments. From the age of eighteen to thirty, I worked in more than twenty departments of the head office, and my position was promoted several levels, until I was stuck in the promotion department director position. Level 1. I didn’t really want to go to the branch office, and I never had a chance at the head office. Then I finally got an opportunity at the end of last year. The company is planning to open a new plant in Garno Star Slave, one of the central stars in the Garxigano Star District, in the second half of this year. A new chain store has opened in the market, and the human resources department plans to recommend me to be the manager of this new store. Of course, I will be in the name of an agent in the first year, and if everything goes well, I will be officially appointed in the second year."
"Because I have no experience working in branches or stores before, the company requires me to go through the entire sales line and pass the evaluation before I can take up the position. The Hongsu Shou store is actually the last stop, and the evaluation should be It won’t be a problem, the manpower is already making preparations for the appointment. My original plan was to have some free time after completing Hong Sushou’s assessment and use the accumulated vacation time to take a vacation, and then I would take up my new job after the vacation.”
Gu Hanhan was speechless. "It seems that I have delayed your future, Ms. Lichun." She said, "I'm really sorry..."
"No way!" Ms. Lichun smiled with eyes shining like a young girl, "Follow a slave trader to sell slaves. No matter how much you sell and how well you work, what great future can you have? Follow you, Miss. There will be a bright future in the future! I never dreamed that one day I would be able to serve such a noble lady as you. Serving you is equivalent to serving the God of the Universe. Is there anything in the world that has a greater future than serving the God of the Universe? "
"..."
"I hope, Ms. Lichun," Gu Hanhan chuckled, "I hope I can satisfy you..."
The road bifurcated in front of me, one to the left, leading to the door of the hall, and the other to the right, leading to the stairs. Gu Hanhan stepped onto the road on the right.
"Are you going to go up with me or just wait here?" Gu Hanhan said to Li Chun, then stepped up the steps. She planned to go up to the third floor to inquire about the legal procedures for freeing slaves. Although Gu Hanhan could guess from the clerk's tone just now that the question was probably in vain. She should leave this matter to Chief Garr or anyone else around her. Any of them can handle this matter well. Great. She just had to play with hers and wait to hear their reports and suggestions. But today's chat with Ms. Lichun obviously stimulated Gu Hanhan in some sense, so she decided to go upstairs and ask in person. She was already here anyway, just a few steps away. And there is still a little time before leaving for Mr. Xie’s dinner, and the slave office is far from getting off work, so why not go and ask in person?
However, Lichun neither stayed to wait nor followed. Instead, she rushed up and stopped in front of Gu Hanhan: "Miss——"
Gu Hanhan was stunned: "What?"
However, Ms. Lichun, who has wallowed in the stinky mud pit of the slave trade, is not afraid at all! She felt that she had tested out the temperament and temperament of Gu Hanhan, the new master, so she dared to be fearless. With her iron ambition hardened into steel after spending time in the slave market, she decisively told Gu Hanhan's attendants to stop talking nonsense. After giving Tuanba a stern warning, Tuanba threw it away and stopped Gu Hanhan first.
"Miss -" she said, "if it's about the freeing of slaves and the identification of free status, there is no need for you to go to the third floor for consultation. It would just be a waste of time. In fact, you can get anything of value from the cancellation office. If you don’t ask, they will just read some clauses in the legal documents, but when it comes to actual operation, it is not the case at all.”
Huh? Could it be that Ms. Lichun, who is good at practicing law and becoming a sales champion, not only knows how to sell slaves but also understands the hidden rules of the great cause of liberating slaves?
"So you know?" Gu Hanhan asked?
Ms. Lichun looked shy and said, "I know a little bit about it."
"Okay," Gu Hanhan then took back the leg that had already stepped up the steps and walked back out of the hall, "Then let's listen to this 'one or two' first. I believe that we will be on the way." This would be a good diversion - where did Wenwen go? Maybe we should get her back and listen together - forget it, I don't think Wenwen is interested in hearing this. Start now Go ahead, Ms. Lichun, I will just report the results to her."
"Yes, Miss." Li Chun jogged a few steps to catch up with Gu Hanhan, and then said, "The procedures for slave release are actually not complicated from a legal perspective, and are similar to the procedures for registering slaves."
"First of all, the owner of the freed slave must submit a slave release application and slave physical examination report to the Slave Trading Bureau. Then it is approved. After the approval is passed, you can start queuing up to cancel the chip, and then you can go to the Trading Bureau to cancel the chip with the chip cancellation document. The slave ownership relationship is cancelled, the fee is paid and a certificate of freedom is issued, and the entire slave release procedure is completed."
"You still have to pay fees - well, a government that doesn't know how to collect taxes is not a good government," Gu Hanhan muttered reluctantly, and then asked, "Okay, Ms. Lichun, just say it. How much does a slave generally have to pay to be released and get this freedom certificate? How long does it take to complete the entire procedure? Is it similar to registration?"
"The fee is usually 50 cosmic coins, which is similar to the registration fee. The extra 20 cosmic coins are mainly used to offset the cost of the chip wave. It is roughly the same as the cost of replacing the chip control wave in ordinary slave transactions. It is considered a fair price. . However, because most slave sellers usually provide their own switches and generally provide free replacement of control waves to buyers, there is no special charge for this service fee in the transaction registration. As for the entire process cycle, it went smoothly. It can usually be completed within half a year.”
"How long?" Gu Hanhan was startled, thinking he heard wrongly, "You said half a year?! Not half an hour?"
"It's half a year, Miss." Li Chun said with certainty: "Half an hour may be enough for transaction registration, but slave cancellation will definitely take a little more time. In fact, the main time spent is approving and writing off chips. These two links are above. The "Slave Law" stipulates that in order to free a slave, the ownership of the slave land must be confirmed and confirmed that the slave is completely owned by the owner who applied for it, and then the cancellation can be approved. So before approval In this link, in addition to the necessary document review, there is also a public notice period of at least eight to twelve weeks. If no one raises doubts about the ownership and submits relevant proof during this period, then the final approval can be made. There is no way When it comes to issues of property ownership, you can never be too careful. There are so many liars in the universe now. If something goes wrong and someone has canceled the status of a slave and someone raises doubts and claims ownership, it will be very troublesome. It’s hard for the Slavery Department to take responsibility.”
"Then there is the offsetting chip. As you know, miss, the switches in the hands of slave traders are simple. In other words, these machines can only use the original switching technology to replace the chip control wave, and do not have the ability to offset the original chip control. It is impossible for the Slave Trading Agency to hand over to any slave trader the equipment capable of canceling the wave control wave, regardless of the authority or technology. If you want to cancel the control wave, you can only queue up at the Technical Section of the Slave Trading Agency. Processing. In addition to the Lighthouse Star headquarters, the Technology Department has only one processing office in each star district. The business is very busy. Not only are they responsible for supervising chip production, they are also responsible for the radio wave debugging and write-off of the chips used in the entire star district. , they not only have to accept private business orders for chip control wave offsetting, but more importantly, they have to accept commissions at the national and regional levels, and the number of commissions at the national and regional levels is often very large. Therefore, for the control wave write-off business, you often have to wait in line for two to three months from the time you submit your application to get your turn."
"As long as this is going well, if there are doubts about the confirmation of rights and the need for investigation and evidence collection, or if orders from many countries to upgrade slave status and cancel related radio waves happen to come together, then it will take a year or two and a half to queue up and not be able to get a freedom certificate. It’s not impossible.”
After hearing this, Gu Hanhan was full of hopelessness and couldn't help shouting: "Are you kidding me? The procedure to free a slave takes so long! Which slave owner in the galaxy has the time in the universe to wait patiently! The Slave Trading Agency's The rules are so inhumane!”
"Yes, no one can have this patience," Li Chun said with a smile: "So if the master no longer wants a slave, he will directly delete his profile picture from the compass, which means releasing him. It can be regarded as a workaround. Although there is no freedom certificate and it is not recognized by the law, if the compass is deleted, there will be no chip controller. It is very troublesome for the master to apply for restoration, so it is unlikely to apply for restoration. The slave is In fact, it is equivalent to breaking away from the master's control, and can ignore the master's orders and regain freedom to fend for itself."
Gu Hanhan said "Oh" and said, "Is this okay? Is it okay if a slave doesn't have a freedom certificate?"
Li Chun replied: "If there is a problem, it is only the problem of not being able to go through citizenship and naturalization procedures. Every country, including its own Star Alliance, has laws and regulations. Only freed slaves can go through the procedures for nationality and citizenship registration with a freedom certificate. There is no Of course it cannot be done. According to the law of the universe, if you cannot provide proof of identity to prove that you are a free citizen or a slave, you will be regarded as a refugee."
As a slave trader and slave, Li Chun showed a look of compassion when talking about the "refugees" class in the universe. She said: "The refugees are very miserable, miss. Don't talk about themselves, they don't even have a master. How terrible it is for a person to have no master! In the dark universe, they have no country to take them in, and no master to support them. The Milky Way No place is their home, and no one is responsible for them. If a refugee cannot find a livelihood for themselves as soon as possible, they will freeze to death in the universe before long! Starve to death! Even their bones will be Disposed of like garbage."
Li Chun rubbed her eyes: "So as a master, it is really inhumane and very inhumane for a master to just abandon his slaves on a whim..."
