Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 55: Excellent Administrator
When Osena left the Governor’s Mansion—which was just a large house—her head was still a bit dizzy.
When she first learned that the Governor wanted to see her, she was quite nervous.
She originally had a straightforward personality, and after several months of hardship, she had developed a bit of a wildcat’s demeanor, willing to fight and struggle.
But she was still nervous and at a loss.
The hardships of the past few months were too deeply imprinted on her, so much so that after arriving at the Governor’s camp and living a stable life without worrying about what to eat the next day or safety issues, she cherished it immensely.
She worked very hard, entered the textile factory, and since she was the most literate, she became a manager.
She did her best to put forward and implement her ideas based on her own thoughts, experiences, and pre-war books she had read.
She thought she had done a good job, but there were indeed some aspects that, while not ‘heretical’, were at least different from other factories and units.
Would the Governor be angry about this?
With an uneasy heart, she met the Governor.
This was her first close encounter with the Governor.
She thought he would be a stern man, but to her surprise, he was quite young, probably not much older than herself.
Handsome face, dressed in a golden, luxurious, and neat military uniform, but with a rather friendly smile.
The Governor first asked about her life situation and past experiences, to which she answered one by one.
During the conversation, her emotions gradually relaxed.
Later, they talked about her work at the textile factory and her thoughts.
While listening, the Governor occasionally asked more in-depth questions and provided suggestions.
Osena felt that this conversation with the Governor was very pleasant.
She found the Governor to be a good listener, and his occasional questions were well-timed.
She also felt that the Governor’s insights were profound, giving her many inspirations.
She gained a lot.
After the conversation ended, something completely unexpected happened.
The Governor mentioned establishing a new department called the ‘Production Department’, aimed at overseeing all the factories under his command, formulating production plans, and optimizing systems.
And she would be appointed as the acting head of the Production Department.
Osena was stunned.
Her first reaction was to doubt if her ears were malfunctioning, causing her to mishear.
After confirming it was correct, she began to doubt the Governor’s mind… oh, she shouldn’t think that way; it’s too disrespectful.
But that was roughly the idea.
She was just an inexperienced novice; how could she suddenly take on such an important task?
Gu Hang didn’t give her the power to refuse.
And she wouldn’t refuse either.
She felt panic and fear, and a sense of being overwhelmed.
If it had been a few months ago when she was still a young lady, she might have chosen to run away out of fear of not being able to do a good job. But now, after several months of hardship, she knew that any opportunity must be fought for and seized.
The Governor gave her an opportunity, and she fully understood what this position and this job meant.
She felt completely unprepared, but that didn’t stop her from convincing herself that she must try, that she must change her destiny.
She couldn’t let down the opportunity the Governor gave her; she had to live up to the Governor’s trust, so she could take control of her fate.
Moreover… she didn’t seem to be completely incapable of doing it.
The past her probably wouldn’t have been able to.
But after this conversation with the Governor, as she walked out, she felt as if her mind was churning.
The Governor’s words seemed to have transformed into some strange, vast, and useful knowledge.
Many things she previously couldn’t understand or didn’t know how to do now seemed clear, and she could find appropriate ways to handle them.
Many areas where she thought she had done well now had better solutions in her mind, which would result in even better outcomes.
She had vaguely noticed this situation during her conversation with the Governor.
She wasn’t entirely sure why this was happening and casually remarked on it.
Then she saw the Governor give her a somewhat strange smile:
“Under normal circumstances, perhaps this is the Emperor’s revelation.”
“It is your revelation,” she complimented.
Gu Hang laughed and waved his hand: “No, don’t say that, I don’t deserve it.”
……
Activated Hero: Osena (N)
Level: lv1
[Physique 4, Spirituality 5, Leadership 7, Politics 9]
[Traits:]
[Excellent Administrator: Proficient in statistics, planning, and organizing various political and economic affairs. Placing her in the right position can improve administrative efficiency. Politics +1]
……
Looking at that N, Gu Hang had a somewhat strange expression.
Above N, are there R, SR, and SSR?
So, this isn’t a farming system or a war system, but a card-drawing system with character development elements, right?
Up to now, his system had already shown three functions with randomness.
Gu Hang silently complained in his heart.
However, being able to activate Osena was quite good.
It was even more valuable than activating Yan Fangxu.
Currently, within Gu Hang’s sphere of influence, there was a lack of population, but even more so, a lack of talent.
The military aspect might be slightly better, thanks to the Troop Card System, which could provide training bonuses for entire units, and Yan Fangxu, a proper Imperial Navy Captain.
Even without activating him as a hero, he still had excellent military command skills.
Simply put, he could make do.
On the other hand, in terms of administrative work, Gu Hang really didn’t have suitable candidates.
Before this, he could only rely on his young attendant Zhang Chao and Patel to manage the camp’s situation.
This put a lot of pressure on both of them.
Zhang Chao did an okay job, without major mistakes, but that was under the condition that Gu Hang didn’t have high expectations of him. If more was required, Zhang Chao probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Additionally, the heavy industrial group of the Wasteland Society was currently managed by Patel, the former leader of the Wasteland Society.
He was learning as he went, but his past experience was far from sufficient to handle the various issues arising from the rapid development of heavy industry in the Wasteland Society.
He worked hard, but it was difficult to elevate his skills to the necessary level.
Now, with Osena added to his team, Gu Hang could be more at ease regarding administrative work.
As for promoting her so quickly to such an important position, whether it might be a bit hasty or leave no room for future promotions… that was possible, but Gu Hang couldn’t worry about that now.
First, solve the immediate problems.
The so-called art of using people could be considered later
