Free Web NovelChapter 97: Chapter 46: Refusing a Promotion and Raise
After hanging up the phone, Ree Shil felt a bit puzzled.
He had thought that the other party was urging him to go to work, but instead, they just told him to go to the Card Club for something.
"Could it be that guy trying to trick me into going to work?"
He was a bit suspicious.
Actually, after winning the championship last night, he had been considering whether to resign from the Card Club.
If he didn’t have to work, he would have plenty of time to lie flat during the day.
Grind through instances, participate in small-scale card competitions, and his life would certainly not be worse than now.
The key point was not that he liked lying flat so much, but working at the Card Club took up too much time.
Moreover, he had already become familiar with the Card Club’s simulated card repository, so there was not much room for improvement in his card-playing skills.
It just so happened that in the afternoon, Mossy Mushroom also had a shift, so Ree Shil took a shower to wash off the alcohol and set off together.
When he arrived at the Card Club, he headed to the Coach Staff Room after parting ways with Mossy Mushroom. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The blue-skinned guy was already waiting for him.
"Coach Shil, the curator wants to see you."
As soon as he saw Ree Shil, the supervisor went straight to the point.
"The curator usually wouldn’t actively look for us unless there’s some trouble, so brace yourself!"
Then he gave Ree Shil a thumbs up.
The general meaning of this thumbs-up was: the curator is looking for you, you’re done for.
"Curator?"
Ree Shil frowned slightly at the mention.
Upon careful reflection, he hadn’t heard much about this person during his few months working here.
When he first started, he casually asked about it, and was told that the curator had gone out for an inspection.
"Alright, I’ll go check it out."
However, he wasn’t afraid of the curator causing trouble, after all, he had already planned to quit.
"Hang in there, Coach Shil, go for it!"
The supervisor gave him the middle finger to cheer him on.
Walking down the long corridor, it didn’t take long for Ree Shil to arrive at the office door.
The door was ajar, leaving a small gap.
Before he even reached out to knock, he heard the conversation inside.
One of the voices was Secretary Brown’s, and the other was a somewhat familiar female voice.
Secretary Brown: "Director! Are you telling the truth?"
Lady Director: "Yes."
Secretary Brown: "You want to cultivate him for management and have him take over the Showcase Club in the future?"
Lady Director: "What’s wrong with that? Can’t I?"
Secretary Brown: "But hasn’t the Showcase Club always been passed down through the Show family?"
Lady Director: "It’s precisely because of this old tradition that our club has been in decline. In my opinion, the position of curator should go to the capable."
Secretary Brown: "This is a major break in tradition. Director, please think it over!"
By the end of Secretary Brown’s words, his tone was slightly exaggerated, only one step away from addressing the director as "Your Majesty."
"Isn’t this a bit too fake?"
Ree Shil looked up at the camera above the door.
Thinking to himself, why did they wait until I arrived at the door to start talking?
Who are they playing these tricks on? Haven’t they seen me play cards before?
Knock knock.
Not giving the other party a chance to continue, he knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Huh?"
But when he entered, he was taken aback.
Secretary Brown had both hands on the desk, and on the other side of the desk sat a beautiful blonde woman.
Isn’t that her?
Although the Show Director wasn’t wearing sunglasses at the moment, Ree Shil recognized her at a glance.
After all, they had sat together in the audience seats earlier that day, one in front and one behind.
"Hello, Coach Shil, I forgot to introduce myself the other day."
Show Director looked at him for two seconds, then smiled and said, "I am the 82nd generation successor of the Show Card Club, Peerless Show."
"You can call me Show Director."
"Hello, Director Show."
At Show Director’s indication, Ree Shil sat down.
Then she and Secretary Brown exchanged glances.
"It’s like this, Coach Shil."
Secretary Brown understood: "We’ve also been paying attention to the Nova Championships at our Card Club."
"Yesterday, the entire staff of our club went to witness your championship in person."
"Your victory has had a positive impact on our club, and just today, more than a dozen new members have signed up to join our Card Club."
"As a result, the Club has decided to give you a series of rewards."
Following that, Secretary Brown outlined the specific reward plan.
First, Ree Shil’s salary would be raised to four times its current rate, to 400 Cube coins per month.
Next, he would receive a promotion. There was currently a vacancy for a deputy director in the coaching department.
Letting him become the deputy director of the coaching department was a matter that none of the other coaches would object, considering Ree Shil’s proficiency had already been proven on the simulated card table.
Regardless of the previous play and promises, this reward plan offered real benefits.
The plan was formed by Secretary Brown based on his years of management experience.
It offered money and power alike, with no reason not to tempt.
Especially the salary, which was significantly higher than the treatment of coaches at other Card Clubs in the city.
"I’m sorry, I refuse."
"Huh?"
However, to his surprise, Ree Shil flat out refused.
The additional salary he was offered was little more than what he could earn during an Instance.
It could not shake his desire to resign.
"See, Little Brown, I told you Coach Shil wouldn’t be moved by such things."
The Show Director on the side seemed as if she had expected this all along.
That day, she had already tested Ree Shil’s attitude on this matter while sitting in the audience.
"Coach Shil, I will add two more conditions to his proposal."
