The Factory is Thriving

Due to the limited six positions available on each island, everyone was concerned that poor selections would affect future job opportunities for the villagers. So, apart from two men with leg disabilities, all the other candidates were young, agile women.

The two men were in their early twenties, likely pushed by their families to secure stable jobs to eventually marry and support a family. Zhu Zirui pushed out some of those who had just been clamoring for bonuses and replaced them with men who seemed bolder than the others. In total, nine positions were filled by nine men. After all, even if the men could fish at sea, he couldn't have women serving as security guards at the factory.
