Hogwarts Homecoming

"Production capacity, production capacity, I need production capacity. Tell those lazy guys in the production department that they must increase production capacity by another three percentage points before June comes, otherwise I will suggest Mr. Lupine to fire those lagging guys!"

"Oh, damn, those greedy Swiss people want to increase the price of raw materials by five percent. It's impossible. I have to talk to them as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer, Raedel, just tonight, I'm going to do it now Go back and pack your bags and rush to Switzerland. You can go to the Ministry of Magic to help me apply for a cross-border floo network license!"

"That batch of goods sent to Hungary was detained by the local Ministry of Magic?

Why. Oh, it is suspected of containing contraband and needs to be opened and inspected. Oh, don’t think I don’t know. These bastards just want to take advantage of the opportunity to make some gold. They really should let Mr. Blaine throw a fireball over their heads. Oh, I know. Mr. Blaine won't do this. Well, we can't break the contract. I'll write to Anya now and let her satisfy the appetite of those bastards! "

"Those damn Americans changed our contract, oh, wait and see, I want them to know the consequences of doing so. Unless they pay liquidated damages, otherwise, their goods will be stopped at the border for a while. months!”

"Human?. I'm sorry, Santis, I have no one at your disposal. Not to mention people, I can't even find a goblin. You can't even think about trying me. Mr. Lupine arranged for me to go to Egypt to open up the market. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. Damn it, when will I get help?"

In the offices with open doors, there are wizards with red faces and sweating profusely.

Percy felt like he was on an alternative battlefield. Every wizard who appeared in front of him was radiating passion and energy, and everyone was filled with a high-spirited and upward mood. Even if this kind of high-spiritedness was really accumulated Even the most elite wizards can't be seen in the Ministry of Magic. After working in the Ministry for almost a year, Percy knows how most of the officials in the Ministry of Magic work -

The scene in front of him was very chaotic, but there was a fatal charm in this chaos, which attracted Percy deeply.

Staring at the busy wizards, Percy's eyes showed a hint of fascination and envy. It wasn't until Sirius spoke that he came back from his trance.

"People here are very passionate, aren't they?"

Sirius said with a smile as he watched another group of alchemy experts rushing out the door.

"Yes, everyone is very focused-"

Percy said this subconsciously. He looked at Sirius and found that Sirius was looking at him with burning eyes. Percy's cheeks turned red and he took a slight breath.

"But how did Professor Lupine do it?" Percy wondered,

"How did he get everyone so excited?"

"Oh, this actually came from some advice from Amosta--"

Sirius took the lead and walked along the end of the corridor on the first floor to the second floor.

"First of all, generous remuneration is essential. According to what Amosta told Remus, most people do not have lofty beliefs and great dreams. People work hard just to improve their lives. Make life easier for yourself, so if you can offer a good salary, you can inspire their enthusiasm.”

After hearing the words, Percy fell into confusion again - is he one of the few people with lofty beliefs and dreams that Professor Brain said?

"Secondly."

Sirius walked up the three steps to the second floor, turned around and said to Percy,

"Keep it fair and just. This place is not like other pure-blood family industries. It is filled with core members of the family. They do the easiest work and get the highest salary. Amosta reminded Remus that he must give his employees Create a smooth promotion channel

Most of the people in the office you just saw were selected from the workers on the production line when Remus first took over the workshop. They have outstanding abilities and love to learn, so they will soon be able to take charge of their own business. . "

Fair and smooth promotion channels.

There was a hint of bitterness on the corner of Percy's mouth. This was the environment he had dreamed of having at the Ministry of Magic.

"And there's--"

Sirius carefully held the lunch box and walked quickly through the stairs to the third and fourth floors to reach the fifth floor.

“Amosta also taught Remus many things, such as letting employees see the development prospects of the workshop and inducing employees’ pride in the workshop;

Strict supervision and punishment methods will be used to prevent corruption like the Ministry of Magic to the greatest extent;

Oh. There is also real care for employees. I'm afraid you don't know, Percy, that if all employees of this workshop get their spouses, children or parents sick, the workshop can reimburse all magical injuries and illnesses to St. Mungo's. hospital medical expenses

If an employee's child awakens enough magical talent, the workshop will also subsidize his expenses for studying at Hogwarts. You know, Percy, Hogwarts has limited subsidies for children from poor families. Those with limited The gold is only enough for them to buy some second-hand goods.

But if you work in this workshop and your life happens to be very tight, then after your child enters Hogwarts to study, not only will he be able to enjoy the Hogwarts subsidy, but the workshop will also be independent. Send a copy and ensure your child attends Hogwarts with dignity. "

Percy followed Sirius all the way to the highest six floors of the office building, listening dumbfounded to Sirius's story about the workshop.

The results on the floors of the office building were the same as those on the lower floors, except that most of the spacious corridors were filled with wizards queuing up.

"They all want to see Remus--"

Sirius tapped his chin on the group of wizards who were holding documents in their hands, stamping their feet from time to time and anxiously glancing at the watches on their arms, and said in a relaxed tone,

"If we queue normally, it would probably take two hours to see Remus. Fortunately, I have some privileges."

The last time I saw Professor Luping was during the summer vacation last year.

At that time, Professor Lupine lived in St. Mungo's for several months because of his fight with Greyback's group of werewolves. During the short stay at his house in order to go to the Quidditch World Cup together, Professor Lupine He is a middle-aged wizard who has lost his job and feels a little hesitant.

But now, in the innermost part of the simple and plainly decorated office, the wizard who was sitting behind the desk and giving instructions had a look on his face that made Percy, who often met many high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, a bit afraid. .

Sirius and Percy suddenly appeared in the field of vision, making Remus look stunned. After he glanced at the lunch box in Sirius's hand, Remus subconsciously looked at another desk in the office and his face turned slightly. Looking at the pretty red girl, a complicated smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Sorry, I need some private time. Can we talk about this later?"

Remus said to the wizard reporting work opposite him, and after agreeing, the man hurriedly left Remus' office and thoughtfully closed the door for them.

"Tell me, what do you think Amosta will do if I write and tell Amosta that you are delivering dinner to Amelia every day?"

Remus stepped out from behind his desk and said to the smiling Sirius.

"I think you must have misunderstood something, Remus—"

Sirius walked to Remus' desk, took out a dinner from the lunch box, and placed it casually in front of Remus.

"I'm just worried that my old friend is busy at work and forgets to have dinner——"

With that said, Sirius carefully carried the remaining food to Amelia, who pretended to be calm, but her fair neck was already red.

"Here, I brought you one by the way. Amelia Amosta entrusted me and Remus to take good care of you, but Remus probably has no time to take care of your life here, so I have no choice but to come - —”

Even Percy could see the 'bad intentions' hidden in Sirius's smile. He looked at Amelia curiously. Based on their conversation, this beautiful girl seemed to have some kind of relationship with Professor Blaine. But they are not a couple.

"Percy, why are you with Sirius?"

Remus' curious call turned the entranced Percy around.

"Oh, we met in Diagon Alley—"

Percy said somewhat cautiously that what he saw and heard along the way from the workshop gate to this office made Percy feel in awe of the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He handed the file bag to Lyme In front of Si,

"That's right. I went to Hogwarts for some ministry matters. Professor Brain asked me to bring this to you when I came back. Oh, Professor Brain also asked me to convey to you that the people here are... no comment"
