With that, she leaned forward and extended two fingers. freёweɓnovel.com
"First, the Card Club plans to organize team-building activities soon."
"One of the team-building activities is a 10-person team instance."
"But as you know, the quotas for such instances are limited."
"So, a draw will be conducted at that time to determine the participants."
"However, I can assure you that you will definitely be chosen."
"Oh yes, your two friends, they are also employees of the card club, right?"
"You will be going into the instance together."
Secretary Brown raised his eyebrows at Show Director’s words.
With Coach Shil being one thing, but even those bizarre guys are also supposed to participate in the instance?
The dungeon key was in his hand right now, it was something for which the Card Club paid money.
Moreover, in order to accommodate Ree Shil’s card player level, they bought an unlimited level one, which is why the price was rather steep.
Bringing that unreliable Straw Man and the Mushroom People into the instance, what if they failed the instance mission? It wouldn’t be worth the loss.
But he didn’t say this aloud, after all, he understood his cousin’s temper; It wouldn’t bode well if he contradicted her now.
"Secondly, I’ll open up the access to the second layer of the simulated card library for you."
However, when Show Director mentioned the second point, Secretary Brown couldn’t hold back his urgency and interrupted.
"You can’t be serious, cousin. We cannot casually hand out this authority!"
He stopped addressing her as the director.
Because this suggestion touched on the core interests of the Card Club.
Ask anyone what the most vital foundation of establishing a Card Club would be.
Naturally, it is the card library of the simulated card tables.
This mainly relies on accumulation and represents the depth of a card club.
Show Card Club, having a long history, has no less accumulation in this area than the few large chain brands out there now.
And the simulated card library of Show Card Club is divided into two and a half layers.
The first floor has an upper limit to B level cards.
The number of cards on this level is vast, considering the costs of operation, technology, and maintenance, they have only opened about 1/10 of it currently.
Yet, only this 1/10 is enough to cater to the daily needs of the Show Card Club.
The second layer has an upper limit to A-rank cards.
Although, to maintain the liquidity of the card library, the cards in the first layer are regularly changed.
But the second layer is completely closed and not open.
The reason is simple; they can’t afford it.
With Show Card Club’s current operation level, there isn’t enough funds to maintain large-scale, long-term opening of the second layer.
Moreover, although the number of cards on the second layer is not as many as on the first layer, the level is higher, and the variety is much richer.
For any card player, if they can practice using the second layer’s card library, they will definitely make bigger and faster progress.
Unless they are core members of Show Card Club, they won’t enjoy this privilege.
Currently only three people within Show Card Club, still holding positions, has access to the second layer.
The Show Director, himself, and an old coach who has been employed here the longest.
The reason it’s called two-and-a-half layers is because the existence of the third layer is only his speculation and has never been verified.
He believes that there is a third layer with an upper limit of S-ranked cards, but his cousin has never mentioned it.
All in all, he disagreed with this second suggestion.
Show Card Club may not be very well known among its clientele now, but it is quite famous among its peers.
Because of the existence of this card library.
In previous years, representatives from other card clubs have sought cooperation in preparing for the City Competition.
Their general proposition was to pay a hefty fee to apply to use their second-layer card library for practice.
However, such requests were invariably declined by the Show Card Club.
In fact, in the end, they only opened 100% of the first layer to those representatives, which satisfied them.
So, Secretary Brown understood why the Director made this suggestion. He believed that for any card player who wants to improve their skills, the second-layer card library is a pretty big attraction.
However, the thing is, Coach Shil had only just joined a few months ago, he hadn’t even fully accessed the 1/10 authority of the first layer; giving him direct access to the second layer was a huge leap.
However, something Secretary Brown and Show Director didn’t see coming was, in the face of these two new suggestions, Ree Shil still responded in the same way.
"Sorry, I refuse."
"Ah? Why?" x2
Show Director and Secretary Brown were both stunned on the spot.
Especially Secretary Brown who held the opposite view.
He protested so strongly, and in the end, it turns out the other person had no intention of accepting in the first place!
But just as the two of them asked in unison, they really couldn’t understand why Ree Shil would refuse such tempting conditions.
"I don’t want to be part of the management, it would make it harder to skip work."
Ree Shil confessed honestly.
"???"
These words completely knocked Secretary Brown for a loop.
I’ve been turning a blind eye to your typical workday shenanigans.
But to speak so boldly in front of the boss, aren’t you being a bit too audacious?
She’s the one paying your salary! Show some respect!
With this thought, he covertly glanced at Show Director.
He wondered if he should intervene if his cousin flew off the handle.
And sure enough, he saw Show Director with a solemn expression, slowly starting to speak.
"So it all comes down to this?"
"Stanley, if that’s the case, I’ll have to teach you a lesson," she said.
Unexpectedly for Secretary Brown, Show Director didn’t lose her temper; instead, she looked serious.
"Have you ever considered this — when you get into management, it becomes even easier to slack off!"
"Take me for example, I haven’t been to work for three months!"
She spread her hands with a carefree flair.
"Seems to make sense..."
Ree Shil stroked his chin, nodding thoughtfully.
"???"
Secretary Brown was once again dumbfounded.
"To be a good leader, you must learn to delegate! Delegate and delegate some more!"
"You have to trust your subordinates."
"If there’s any issue, just dump it all on them!"
While saying this, Show Director pointed at Secretary Brown.
"The Curator is right. I’ve learned my lesson."
"So from now on, can I dump my entire workload on Secretary Brown?"
Ree Shil finally got it.
"?????"
Secretary Brown grew more and more confused: "Do you see me as invisible? Should I leave you two to chat?"
He suddenly realized that things seemed to be heading in an unfavourable direction for him — the two of them were oddly in sync!
In the end, after their discussion, Ree Shil agreed to their plan.
However, he added a catch — he would only be a nominal supervisor, the hands-off type.
After all, access to the second layer of the card repository was enticing indeed.
Moreover, guided by Show Director’s pointers, he finally understood some of the ways of the professional world.
Once he became a supervisor, the blue-skinned deputy who always gave him the finger would finally be off his back.
What he didn’t know, however, was the moment he accepted, Show Director and Secretary Brown exchanged a knowing look.
Coach Shil has finally been tied down by them. All they needed to do next was give him a little push to help him quickly rise, and await the opening of the City Competition. Isn’t success guaranteed by then?
Upon leaving the Curator’s Office, Ree Shil returned to the Coach Staff Room.
"How’s everything, Coach Shil? All good?"
The supervisor came over immediately with concern as soon as he saw him.
"No worries, no worries, Old Blue."
Ree Shil was in a great mood at this point, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
He glanced at the superior’s workstation. It’s quite spacious. Not too shabby.
Although he doesn’t plan to come to work often, a superior’s workstation is something...
That he can go without using, but must have.
"Seeing as I’m here today, prepare a class for me," he said.
"Huh?"
Old Blue found Ree Shil’s glance unusual, exuding a weird mix of a superior looking down and an elder’s caring gaze.
But the request he heard now was even stranger.
Is this the Coach Shil that he knew, actually volunteering to work overtime?!
Was it the curator’s talk that made the difference? ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Or is he sick?
It seemed more likely that he was sick.
"But since you’re here, it’s good timing. A newly registered member has specifically requested your class."
Ultimately, he said this.
