Please don't...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director was even more panicked than Arila: \"By the Emperor, I would never do that. You're an important representative of this factory. There's no way I'd fire you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firing Arila, after the Governor had just given her a medal? That would be suicide!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Arila asked, still unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not!\" the director reassured her, explaining:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Arila, what I meant is that, as a representative of this factory, you deserve a higher position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a form listing the factory's higher management positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can choose any position you want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Arila understood: \"You're promoting me, and I can choose my own job?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an unexpected bonus!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the Emperor, today was the luckiest day of her life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Ms. Arila.
