Chapter 1183 The Ninth Dilemma
“20, 21, 22…”
Milton Clyde, the manager of the ninth branch.
He held a notebook in his hand and walked along the corridor on the second floor, looking at the room number and comparing it with the information in the notebook.
The ninth branch has already received 22 ghost residents, and the next one will be the 23rd, which means that if he takes another mission, he will be promoted to a four-star exclusive to the ninth branch.
The large number of ghost residents is not a good thing for Clyde, but a reverse oppression.
He looked at the numbers on the notebook and felt an inexplicable sense of panic in his heart, because he could not be sure of the subsequent tasks and how many times he could survive with his own ability.
Wei Jiande followed him silently. He was about 50 years old and had a mature temperament very different from Clyde.
But there was no expression on his dark face, and the downward corners of his mouth also gave him a cold face that kept strangers away.
The ninth branch, "Old Wei" who had appeared several times, Wei Jiande was added as the "deputy manager" after Clyde became the manager.
"Gu Xingjian is dead, Old Huang is in a slump, and our situation is not good. Since you are the store manager, you have to take up the responsibility."
Wei Jiande's voice was very cold when he said this. This was due to his personality, not because he had any hostility towards Clyde.
How could Clyde not know this reality, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
Now, Gu Xingjian's portrait is hanging in the entrance hall on the first floor, hanging side by side with the portraits of the previous seven store managers.
Even if Clyde couldn't believe it in his heart, he was indeed dead, and the ninth branch had changed its owner. This was the reality.
After the sixth store manager mission, Huang Banxian seemed to have aged more than ten years. After returning, he didn't say a word about what he saw and heard, and locked himself in the house all day without seeing anyone.
Gu Xingjian's death was still reported by the branch's will, and the situation in the mission was the exact information obtained by Clyde after contacting Su Chenghe and others.
The ninth branch held an emergency meeting in the early morning of January 3, 2016.
Except for Huang Banxian, all the remaining 31 employees of the branch participated, and finally decided on the new store manager - Milton Clyde.
Why did they choose him?
Because it seems that after Gu Xingjian's death, the overall form of the Ninth Branch has dropped dramatically, and everyone realized a fact at this moment - in fact, their branch is not that strong.
Huang Banxian, Clyde, Wei Jiande, and Bai Lang are the only top-level employees left.
Of course, there are also rising stars like Wen Yongxin among the remaining dozens of employees, but it is far from the time to carry the banner.
Until this moment, everyone understood a truth - why is the Ninth Branch so strong? It's because of Gu Xingjian.
Gu Xingjian's own ability belongs to the ceiling of the top ten branches.
Therefore, his appearance will force all the employees in the branch to rise up and fight unremittingly, so their individual employees are all extremely strong talents.
But without Gu Xingjian's arbitrary actions, these people have lost their ability to plan...
Top clerks: Huang Banxian, Clyde, Wei Jiande, and Bai Lang.
Huang Banxian is good at calculating and planning, but has no decision-making ability;
Clyde is generous and kind, but has no deterrence;
Wei Jiande is calm and rigorous, but has no overall view;
Bai Lang is good at breakthroughs and innovations, but has no judgment...
In short, the four of them are top-notch in some aspects, but they can only be "generals" and not "commanders".
Maybe...
Maybe among the top clerks of the ninth branch, there was once such a person who had both personal strength and teamwork leadership ability - she was Song Yitong.
But unfortunately, Yitong was thrown into Tiannan College by Gu Xingjian as a "discarded child", and even after her death, no trace was left.
Therefore, the new manager of the ninth branch was finally decided on Clyde, who has relatively wide popularity and connections.
From the current four people, he has the best popularity, has experience in store manager tasks, and is more fair and just in doing things, and is the only candidate.
As for whether Clyde himself was willing to be the new store manager, he was actually unwilling in his heart, but he had no choice.
Because no one else could do this position...
Clyde sighed, closed the notebook, knocked on the door of "221", and whispered to the door:
"Tonight, 201-210 will play with you."
"..."
Just at this moment, a man with a beer belly slowly walked up the stairs, with heavy steps, as if he was carrying something urgent.
This man has short limbs, a short and fat body, and a very fierce look under his bald head, which makes people feel a natural fear at first glance.
His name also reveals fierceness-"White Wolf".
"Clyde, Lao Wei, urgent news, the commission task will be opened in 12 hours, and further details will be reported in 6 hours!"
Clyde's heart sank when he heard this, and he subconsciously looked at Wei Jiande, and both saw the solemnity and worry in each other's eyes.
Commission task, a large task that has been laid for nearly a year.
As far as Clyde knows, "commission" has always been interspersed in various tasks of the ten branches, and it appears from time to time. Many store employees have accumulated a lot of it, but they have never revealed the final purpose.
Today, the purpose of the commission has come into play. This super-large task that sweeps across the ten branches and cannot be avoided is about to appear.
And the most terrifying thing happened "coincidentally".
The four-star promotion task of the ninth branch collided with the joint commission task of the ten branches...
Clyde felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it, and he quickly asked:
"Old Wei, Old Wolf, how much commission do you have?"
Since it is a commission task, the first thing to bear the brunt is naturally the amount of commission. He has a hunch that the total amount of commission of a branch may have a very large impact on the final outcome!
White Wolf immediately said: "I have 10."
Wei Jiande nodded and responded: "I have a little more, 15."
Commission tasks are interspersed in the reception tasks of each branch. They are rare and can only be obtained by the luckier or longer-lived store clerks.
For example, Clyde has only experienced it once, which is the ghost child task, and he got 10 commissions.
The three of them together only got 35 commissions, which is far from enough.
Wei Jiande put his hand on the side of the stairs, looking at the portrait of the store manager on the first floor, and said after thinking for a moment:
"If Gu Xingjian is still alive, then the amount of his commission is probably a terrifying number, but unfortunately..."
Gu Xingjian died at the wrong time!
Clyde's face was extremely bad. The shock of Gu Xingjian's death to the Ninth Branch continued to intensify.
No one could have imagined that the Ninth Branch could not even collect the "40" commissions!
"Go find Lao Huang. He has been working in the store for nearly a year. I'm afraid he has more commissions than us combined."
Bai Lang squinted his eyes as if thinking, and touched his chin covered with flesh with his fat palm. He looked extremely treacherous, but what he said was reasonable.
Clyde could not help but focus his eyes on a room on the third floor.
What did Huang Banxian see and experience in the sixth store manager mission to suffer such a blow...
But now these blows are no longer important, because this time the commission mission must be him!
