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, “Gerald, please forgive me. I didn’t mean that!”

Gerald stood at the entrance of the elevator and turned to look at him. He asked, “Didn’t you just tell me

to go away? I’m leaving now. What are you doing?”

Jeff hurriedly said, “There must be some misunderstanding. I mean that you can come early next time.”

Gerald touched his nose and said, “Well, there is no misunderstanding between us. I was late on the first

day. I am your employee. I feel ashamed and have to resign.”

Jeff’s face turned gloomy, but he still said respectfully, “That’s not what I meant. Being late is inevitable.

Just be careful next time.”

Gerald shrugged his shoulders and said, “Well, so be it!”

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 Gerald’s 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, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. It’s my fault. I was so rude just now.

Please forgive me.”

Gerald looked at Jeff with a smile. He thought it was interesting to see Jeff embarrassed.

Gerald waved his hand and said, “Alright, give me the card!”

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. “Alright, I’ll go over here and

arrange a job for you.”

Gerald said, “I don’t want to introduce myself. You can assign me to work directly.”

“Okay, okay.” 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, “This is Sales Team Two. You can just stay here. Nick Smith, this is your new

teammate.”

Then, a young man, who looked twenty-five years old, younger than Gerald, came over and said,

“Manager!”

“This is Gerald. He is a newcomer to your group. Get a seat for him and go to my

later,” Jeff said to Nick.

Nick nodded. He glanced at Gerald and said, “Come here!”

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, “Thank you for

just now.”

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.”

“Catherine, the manager asked you to go

Catherine’s 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.

“What is wrong?” A girl asked, “Did he harass you again?”

Catherine sighed, “He wants to fire me because my performance is not good. I am still in the trial period.

This month’s performance is indeed not up to standard. However, it is originally a two-month trial period.”

“Jeff has gone too far.” Another girl whispered, and then she asked, “He fired you?”

“Not yet. But… he asked me to collect the money owed by the Moonglow Bar.” Catherine pursed her lips

and said, “He also said that if I didn’t take it back, he would…

dismiss me.”

Nick heard their conversation. His face changed slightly, and he said, “The 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.”

“Or be his girlfriend.” The girl next to Nick said, “We have no choice. His uncle is the higher-up in the

company!”

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 doesn’t want to get rich

overnight?

Gerald showed a trace of curiosity on his face and asked, “Nobody wants to get rich

overnight?”

“You just came to the company and don’t 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.” Nick sighed, “This is a dead

account. Jeff just forces

her to leave.”

Gerald’s 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, “It’s a matter of course to repay a debt. This is a big

deal. Catherine, right? I’ll go with you to take a look later. But when you get the money, you have to give

me half of the commission.”

Catherine looked at Gerald in shock.

Nick frowned and said, “Gerald, you’d better give it up. Don’t 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.”

Catherine pursed her lips. She gritted her teeth and looked at Gerald and said, “Then let’s go together

later!”

She did not seem to want to lose this job.

“Catherine, you are crazy!” The girl next to her shouted, “That is the bad debt of the Moonglow Bar!”

Catherine’s eyes were a little red as she said, “I have to give it a try. You know, I am very

short of money…”

Nick frowned and said, “I won’t 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 can’t be taken

back at all. Don’t be reckless with money!”

Gerald waved his hand and ignored Nick’s words. He asked Catherine, “Then let’s go

and take a look now.”

Catherine nodded and said, “Yes!”

As she spoke, she simply packed up and stood up.

When Gerald and Catherine left, Nick looked at Gerald’s back and sneered, “Well, don’t

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!”

“What is his background?” someone beside him asked in a low voice.

“I guess he is a relative of some superior.” Nick said, “Just 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.”

The others were slightly stunned. The girl who spoke shook her head and said, “In any

case, we have tried our best to stop them. They can’t blame us if they fail.”
