Chapter 169 Nobody Wants to Get Rich Overnight?
Jeff felt that was a tricky problem. Cold sweat was constantly popping up on his forehead.
He thought, what is the background of this new employee? The president calls me personally.
He ignored Catherine and hurriedly ran out from the entrance of the stairs. Looking at Gerald, who was waiting for the elevator, he hurriedly ran over and said, âGerald, please forgive me. I didnât mean that!â
Gerald stood at the entrance of the elevator and turned to look at him. He asked, âDidnât you just tell me to go away? Iâm leaving now. What are you doing?â
Jeff hurriedly said, âThere must be some misunderstanding. I mean that you can come early next time.â
Gerald touched his nose and said, âWell, there is no misunderstanding between us. I was late on the first day. I am your employee. I feel ashamed and have to resign.â
Jeffâs face turned gloomy, but he still said respectfully, âThatâs not what I meant. Being late is inevitable. Just be careful next time.â
Gerald shrugged his shoulders and said, âWell, so be it!â
Catherine walked out of the corner of the stairs. When she saw Gerald and Jeff, she could not help but laugh. However, she quickly closed her mouth. She looked at Gerald curiously and then ran to the office!
Seeing that Gerald was determined to leave, Jeff felt more cold sweat on his forehead.
He did not know Geraldâs background. However, Gerald was different from other employees in the company. He did not care about this job at all!
Jeff thought, if he left here, my uncle and I would be expelled.
I do not want to lose this job.
He quickly pulled Gerald and pleaded, âIâm sorry, Iâm so sorry. Itâs my fault. I was so rude just now. Please forgive me.â
Gerald looked at Jeff with a smile. He thought it was interesting to see Jeff embarrassed.
Gerald waved his hand and said, âAlright, give me the card!â
He thought, even if I quit, Valery would have to send me back, or go to other places to find another identity.
Gerald had no choice. Since he was going to carry out a mission here, he needed an identity to cover himself up.
Gerald made concessions. Jeff let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. âAlright, Iâll go over here and arrange a job for you.â
Gerald said, âI donât want to introduce myself. You can assign me to work directly.â
âOkay, okay.â Jeff hurriedly nodded.
He brought Gerald to the Sales Department and led Gerald through the crowd. They walked to a row of tables and said, âThis is Sales Team Two. You can just stay here. Nick Smith, this is your new teammate.â
Then, a young man, who looked twenty-five years old, younger than Gerald, came over and said, âManager!â
âThis is Gerald. He is a newcomer to your group. Get a seat for him and go to my later,â Jeff said to Nick.
Nick nodded. He glanced at Gerald and said, âCome here!â
office Gerald followed him and walked to an empty seat. What surprised Gerald was that Catherine was sitting next to him.
After seeing Gerald, Catherine stuck out her tongue and said to Gerald, âThank you for just now.â
Gerald waved his hand and did not say anything!
There were nine people on this team, and six of them were women.
There was no long self-introduction. Gerald just pretended to work here, and he probably did not have much interaction with them!
Soon, Nick returned. He looked at Gerald strangely, and then said to Catherine, to his office.â
âCatherine, the manager asked you to go Catherineâs pretty face revealed her unwillingness, but she still gritted her teeth and went to the office. After about seven or eight minutes, she returned to her seat. Gerald sized her up and found that her face was more upset.
âWhat is wrong?â A girl asked, âDid he harass you again?â
Catherine sighed, âHe wants to fire me because my performance is not good. I am still in the trial period. This monthâs performance is indeed not up to standard. However, it is originally a two-month trial period.â
âJeff has gone too far.â Another girl whispered, and then she asked, âHe fired you?â
âNot yet. But... he asked me to collect the money owed by the Moonglow Bar.â Catherine pursed her lips and said, âHe also said that if I didnât take it back, he would...
dismiss me.â
Nick heard their conversation. His face changed slightly, and he said, âThe 1.3 million dollars of the Moonglow Bar is a bad debt.
The commission on this account is as high as 15%. As long as you recover the amount owed, you will be given a 15%
commission. But no one dares to do this business. He wants to force you to leave.â
âOr be his girlfriend.â The girl next to Nick said, âWe have no choice. His uncle is the higher-up in the company!â
Gerald thought, it is 1.3 million dollars. Fifteen percent of it is more than 160 thousand dollars. For them, this is a good opportunity to become rich overnight. Is there anyone who doesnât want to get rich overnight?
Gerald showed a trace of curiosity on his face and asked, âNobody wants to get rich overnight?â
âYou just came to the company and donât know. The boss behind the Moonglow Bar is also the boss of the largest bar club in Washington. The club is quite big, and the boss is very mysterious. In addition, they are very powerful. There were several people in the company who went to collect money before, but there were accidents one after another, and they all went to the hospital.â Nick sighed, âThis is a dead account. Jeff just forces her to leave.â
Geraldâs eyes twitched slightly.
He thought, mysterious? Is it Blood Lotus or Dark Phantom, or someone from another underground force?
Gerald raised his head to look at Catherine and said, âItâs a matter of course to repay a debt. This is a big deal. Catherine, right?
Iâll go with you to take a look later. But when you get the money, you have to give me half of the commission.â
Catherine looked at Gerald in shock.
Nick frowned and said, âGerald, youâd better give it up. Donât ask for trouble. As for Catherine, you can change to another company. You have a high degree, and the sales are not suitable for you. It should be quite easy for you to find a civilian job with your diploma.â
Catherine pursed her lips. She gritted her teeth and looked at Gerald and said, âThen letâs go together later!â
She did not seem to want to lose this job.
âCatherine, you are crazy!â The girl next to her shouted, âThat is the bad debt of the Moonglow Bar!â
Catherineâs eyes were a little red as she said, âI have to give it a try. You know, I am very short of money...â
Nick frowned and said, âI wonât stop you. After all, if you can get it back, it will be the performance of our group. But I have to tell you the truth. This money canât be taken back at all. Donât be reckless with money!â
Gerald waved his hand and ignored Nickâs words. He asked Catherine, âThen letâs go and take a look now.â
Catherine nodded and said, âYes!â
As she spoke, she simply packed up and stood up.
When Gerald and Catherine left, Nick looked at Geraldâs back and sneered, âWell, donât be so arrogant just because your background is strong. You want to show off in front of the beauty. It remains to be seen whether you can get back this money!â
âWhat is his background?â someone beside him asked in a low voice.
âI guess he is a relative of some superior.â Nick said, âJust now, Jeff told me to ignore him and not assign tasks to him. He is probably sent by the higher-ups to play around here. It is just another Jeff.â
The others were slightly stunned. The girl who spoke shook her head and said, âIn any case, we have tried our best to stop them. They canât blame us if they fail.â
