Chapter 1183 The Ninth Dilemma
"20, 21, 22..."
Milton Clyde, manager of the Ninth Branch.
He was holding a notebook in his hand and walking in 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 attracted twenty-two ghost residents, and the next one will be the 23rd one. In other words, another mission will be a four-star promotion exclusive to the Ninth Branch.
The large number of ghost residents is not a good thing for Clyde, but a kind of reverse oppression.
He looked at the numbers on the note, and felt an inexplicable sense of panic in his heart, because he was not sure about the follow-up tasks at all, and how many times he could survive based on his own ability.
Wei Jiande followed behind him without saying a word. He was about 50 years old and had a very different mature temperament from Clyde.
However, his dark face was expressionless, and the downward corners of his mouth gave him an indifferent expression that was reserved for strangers.
In the ninth branch, "Old Wei" has appeared several times. Wei Jiande was added to the position of "deputy store manager" after Clyde became the store manager.
"Gu Xingjian is dead, Lao Huang is in ruins, and we are in a bad situation. Since you are the store manager, you have to shoulder the responsibility."
Wei Jiande's voice was cold when he said this. This was due to his character, not because he had any hostility towards Clyde.
How could Clyde not know this reality, but he could only smile bitterly inwardly.
Now, Gu Xingjian's portrait hangs in the entrance hall on the first floor, hanging side by side with the portraits of the previous seven store managers.
Even Clyde couldn't believe it in his heart. He was indeed dead, and the Ninth Branch also changed its owner. This was the reality.
After his sixth store manager mission, Huang Banxian seemed to have aged more than ten years. After returning, he said nothing about what he saw and heard. He locked himself in the room all day without seeing anyone.
Gu Xingjian's death was notified by the will of the branch, and the exact information about the mission was obtained by Clyde after he contacted 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 store employees participated, and the candidate for the new store manager was finally selected-Milton Clyde.
Why did you choose him?
Because it seemed that after Gu Xingjian's death, there was a huge gap in the overall form of the Ninth Branch. Only at this moment did everyone realize the fact that their branch was not that powerful.
Huang Banxian, Clyde, Wei Jiande, and Bai Lang are the only remaining top-level clerks.
Of course, there are also rising stars like Wen Yongxin among the dozens of remaining store employees, but they are far from ready to take up the banner.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone understood one thing - why is the Ninth Branch so powerful? It's because of Gu Xingjian.
Gu Xingjian's personal ability is at the top of the top ten branches.
Therefore, his appearance will force all the clerks in the branch to work tirelessly and fight, so each of their clerks is a very talented person.
But without Gu Xingjian's arbitrary will, these people have lost the ability to plan...
Top clerks: Huang Banxian, Clyde, Wei Jiande, Bai Lang.
Huang Banxian is good at calculation and planning, but has no decision-making ability;
Clyde is generous and kind, but not intimidating;
Wei Jiande is calm and rigorous, but has no overall view;
White Wolf is good at breakthroughs and innovations, but has no decisiveness...
In short, the four of them are all top-notch in some aspects, but they can only be "generals", not "handsome".
Maybe...
Perhaps among the top clerks in the Ninth Branch, there was once someone who had both personal strength and teamwork leadership skills - she was Song Yitong.
But unfortunately, Yitong was treated as an "abandoned son" by Gu Xingjian and thrown into Tiannan College, leaving no trace even after his death. Therefore, the new store manager of the Ninth Branch was finally decided on Clyde, who was relatively popular and well-connected.
Judging from the current four people, he is the most popular, has experience in store manager tasks, and is more fair and just in his work. He is already the only candidate.
As for Clyde himself, whether he is willing to serve as the new store manager, he is actually unwilling in his heart, but he has no choice.
Because no one can take this position...
Clyde let out a long sigh, closed his book, knocked on the door of "221", and whispered to the door:
"Tonight, 201-210 will play with you."
"..."
At this moment, a man with a beer belly slowly walked up the stairs, his steps heavy, as if he was carrying something urgent.
This man has short limbs, a short and fat body, and a very ferocious appearance under his bald head, which makes people look innately fearful at first glance.
His name also reveals ferocity - "White Wolf".
"Clyde, Lao Wei, urgent news, the commission mission will start in 12 hours, and further details will be announced in 6 hours!"
Clyde's heart sank when he heard this, and he subconsciously glanced at Wei Jiande, both seeing the solemnity and worry in the other's eyes.
Commission task, a large-scale task that has been prepared for nearly a year.
As far as Clyde knows, "commissions" have been interspersed with various tasks in the ten major branches. They appear from time to time. Many clerks have accumulated a lot of money, but the final use has never been disclosed.
Today, the purpose of commission has come into play. This large-scale task that sweeps through the ten branches and is inevitable is about to be unveiled.
And the most terrifying thing happened by "coincidence".
The four-star promotion mission of the ninth branch and the joint commission mission of the top ten branches collided...
Clyde's scalp felt numb just thinking about it, and he quickly asked:
"Lao Wei, Lao Lang, how much commission do you have?"
Since it was a commission task, the first thing to bear the brunt was naturally the amount of commission. He had a hunch that the total amount of commission for a branch might have a huge 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 with the lead-in tasks in each branch. They are rare and can only be obtained by the luckier ones or those who have survived for a long time.
For example, Clyde only experienced it once, the ghost boy mission, and received 10 commissions.
The three of them together only have 35 commissions, which is far from enough.
Wei Jiande put his hand on the edge of the stairs, looked at the portrait of the store manager on the first floor, thought for a moment and said:
"If Gu Xingjian is still alive, then his commission amount is probably a terrifying figure, but it's a pity..."
Gu Xingjian died at the wrong time!
Clyde's expression was extremely different, and the shock of Gu Xingjian's death to the Ninth Branch continued to intensify.
No one would have thought that Tangtang Ninth Branch could not collect the "40 pieces" commission!
"Look for Lao Huang. He has been living in the store for nearly a year, and his commissions are probably more than those of us combined."
Bai Lang squinted his eyes as if thinking, and touched his fleshy chin with his fat palm. He looked extremely cunning, but what he said was well-founded.
Clyde couldn't help but focus on a certain room on the third floor.
In the sixth store manager mission, what did Huang Banxian see and what he experienced, to be so shocked...
But these blows are no longer important now, because this time the commission task must be done by him!
