Gloria, who had been watching silently from the side, walked forward slowly. She looked at Rachel with a smile, and said, "I've seen Miss Rachel's sewing skills. She's already at the level of a master. I'm here today to sign a new contract with her. Also, I have high hopes for her. I believe she can live a decent life with her own hard work and skills."
The surroundings suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at Gloria with an incredulous look on their faces.
The masters in the factory were all old masters with more than 20 years of experience. Even if they were not famous tailors, their skills were impeccable.
However, Rachel was only in her early twenties. Previously, she had only done some side jobs. Although her skills were indeed much better than the average female worker, she was not qualified to be a master.
"H-how is this possible!?" Cynthia had a look of disbelief on her face. Becoming a master meant that her monthly salary would be at least 10,000 copper coins, and her work would be much easier. A female worker would only earn 3,000 copper coins a month. They were both female workers, but Cynthia had even started a month earlier. How could Rachel become a master?!
Rachel also looked at Gloria in shock. She felt that she had misheard something.
Benjamin was also a little stunned. He looked at the smiling Gloria. This kind boss in his eyes had just said something that he did not understand. He hesitated, and said, "Miss Gloria, you said you want Rachel to be a master?"
"Yes." Gloria nodded.
Benjamin quickly shook his head, and said, "No! This is definitely not possible. She's just a little girl. How can she be a master? Her skills are not good. If she makes the wrong clothes, it will ruin Suede's reputation. This is definitely not possible. Moreover, her experience is so shallow. How can she be a master? "
All the masters also looked at Gloria. Letting such a little girl be on equal footing with them made them a little uncomfortable.
"In Suede, what I value is your ability. I don't look at your experience, nor do I look at your seniority. I'll pay you according to your abilities and the value you can create for Suede. This is a fair trade. " Gloria said as she looked at Benjamin and the other masters. Then, her eyes fell on Rachel. "With Rachel's ability, it's a waste of her talent to be a female worker. So, it's not wrong for me to promote her as a master because I think she can create more value for Suede."
Gloria's gaze landed on the female workers, and she smiled as she said, "Of course, if any of you are equally outstanding, please continue to work hard and show me your abilities. Then, the next master will be you."
The female workers were silent for a while before bursting into a burst of warm applause. Their eyes lit up with a different light.
Tears welled up in Rachel's eyes. She looked at Gloria and choked with sobs. "Miss Gloria, I …"
"Trust my judgment and your ability." Gloria looked at Rachel with a smile, then glanced at Hada who was standing at the side. "I shouldn't interfere with your family matters, but someone told me that as long as a woman is capable, she can live on her own. She doesn't have to listen to anyone's arrangements."
"Yes." Rachel nodded hard and held Hada's hand tightly. She looked at Benjamin and said, "Father, I'll live a decent life on my own. I want to marry Hada. I know that we can live a decent life together, not in poverty."
"Uncle, I'm a blacksmith. I can support father and master with my own hands. I definitely won't be a burden to Rachel." Hada also held Rachel's hand tightly as he looked at Benjamin and promised solemnly.
"That's enough, old man. Your daughter will earn more than you in two years' time. You can rely on her to live a decent life for your family."
"Yes, we old men have worked for our whole lives, but we're still the same as the young lady. The young man is not bad either. He'll definitely treat your daughter well."
The old tailors also tried to persuade him. They had already changed a lot.
Benjamin frowned as he looked at Hada and Rachel who were holding hands tightly. After a long silence, he sighed heavily, and said, "Since you're so stubborn, I won't care about you anymore. However, you chose this path yourself today. Don't blame me for not stopping you in the future." Then, he turned and walked into the workshop.
A surprised smile appeared on Rachel and Hada's faces at the same time, and then they hugged each other tightly.
Smiles appeared on the faces of the onlookers before they dispersed. This ending seemed to be quite good.
Angus stood at the side with a gratified smile on his face.
Gloria also walked into the workshop with a smile. She didn't disturb the couple who had finally overcome their biggest obstacle. She thought to herself, If Mr. Meg knew about this, would he think that I did a good job?
…
Under the Endless Ocean south of the Demon Islands, there was a sunken historical site.
There was an altar in the center of the historical site.
A sorcerer in a black robe was holding a blue crystal ball in his hand, and praying devoutly, "Almighty God, please guide my tribe out of the fog and open up a new era …"
Below the altar, there were countless sea demons. They had the upper body of a human, but no legs. Instead, they had a tail like a fish. They used seashells and seaweed to cover their breasts and bellies, and all of them were looking at the altar devoutly.
Right at this moment, a strong blue light suddenly erupted from the crystal ball. Then, scenes started to appear above the altar.
That was the scene on land. A tall city, a huge square, and a dense crowd appeared … The scene finally stopped at a restaurant and a man standing in front of it.
"It's been a thousand years! The almighty God has finally answered our prayers again! This is the chance for Lantisde to return to the mainland! And this place and this man are the important clues to break the curse of the merfolk! "the black-robed man said agitatedly as he looked at the frozen scene.
The entire ocean seemed to be boiling with cheers.
The black-robed man kept the crystal ball slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Wake Gina up. She will carry the hope of Lantisde and head to the mainland to find a way to break the curse."
A crystal coffin slowly rose from the depths of the ocean. A beautiful merfolk lay in it.
A merfolk stepped forward, and worriedly said, "Great Sorcerer, Gina is still unable to survive on land for a long period of time. If we let her head to the mainland now, she might die."
"Dying for Lantisde is the greatest honor." The black-robed man's voice reverberated throughout the ocean. He waved his hand gently, and the lid of the crystal coffin turned into nothingness. The merfolk in the crystal coffin slowly opened her eyes.
"Gina, find him and find a way to break the curse!"
The black-robed man shouted as he pointed at the disappearing image.
