Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1276 Branch

The basement floor of the Yelongting headquarters building has been converted into a bar. There are many people dancing to the music in the dance floor in the middle. A man in a red suit is sitting on the sofa next to him, leaning back lazily with a casual smile on his face.

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man who looked like a bookworm. In such a noisy environment, he had a set of tea sets in front of him. At this moment, a cup of hot tea was gradually getting cold in front of him.

"Someone placed a big order today." The middle-aged man poured the cold tea back into the teapot. The man in the red suit couldn't help curling his lips when he saw it: "You don't even want to drink it, but you're just pouring water for fun?"

"The atmosphere is too bad, I can't drink." The middle-aged man said, "Today I received an order from the Secret Staff Sanctuary to kill ten betraying secret masters."

"What does that have to do with me? You are the boss of the asset management department. When there is business, you just go and notify them. Come to me if you need anyone." The man in the red suit picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it behind him. Someone immediately took it and handed him a new glass filled with champagne.

"Short of people."

"Lack of staff? I just finished reading the report given to me by Group 2 yesterday. The Yelongting business group is almost overstaffed now." The man in the red suit sneered, "If you ask me for staff again, will you pay for the manpower cost?"

"We are short of people in another distribution center." The middle-aged man poured another cup of hot tea from the kettle and placed it on the table under the twitching eyes of the man in the red suit, but still did not drink it.

"The branch should have already applied."

"But we don't have many people going there. Although Lao Gou has led a team to open up the wasteland, there are only a few people willing to abandon this place and run there. Transferring between distribution centers is not as convenient as going to the information center." The middle-aged man said, "You are the head of the personnel department, you should know how many people we have in the branch now."

"Not enough people to complete the order?" The man in the suit asked back, "In the list that Old Dog gave us last time, there are at least thirty people who have abandoned the mystic arts. Can't we just let the Red Accounts Department pick a few and kill them? They are a bunch of idiots who don't deserve to die anyway."

"Do you think they are not aware of the dangers here?" The middle-aged man sneered. "The new distribution center is a completely uncivilized treasure land. Some people go there to open up the land, and some people go there to seek refuge. No matter how powerful the Red Account Section is, it can't cross the distribution center to hunt them down. Do we have to rely on luck to enter the scene?"

"…What do you mean by calcite?"

"She said that the R&D department can't handle this technical problem at the moment." The middle-aged man stared at the man in the red suit and said.

"So now you need to recruit people in the branch office, right? You need the personnel department to give you a quota."

"The Asset Management Department will assist you in submitting the application materials, because not only the Secret Staff Sanctuary, but also the branch office has seen more and more business recently. This is a good opportunity for development."

"Good opportunity? No, no, no, Sandalwood, you are too focused on assets suitable for development. You don't know that our personnel have now reached a bottleneck period." The man in the red suit shook the wine glass in his hand. "Except for the old seniors, it is not easy to improve the quality of newcomers. There are very few idle tourists who have been promoted to the fifth level with outstanding abilities. Talents have long been monopolized by major organizations."

"You don't have any suitable targets?" Sandalwood sneered.

"There are less than a hundred people left in my talent pool, which is a serious talent gap. The sales people won't like me to give them a bunch of rookies who need to be trained from scratch. I can only send them to the Defense Department and let those good-tempered guys under Taiga Lin to train them. I have treated them to many meals for this." The man in the red suit sighed, "I can still get 20 to 30 people from the branch office, but no more. How many orders have you received? It's better not to let us handle it all."

"There is no order that Yelongting cannot handle." Tan Xiangmu said, "Take this big order first."

"Okay, okay, I'll pick out a few suitable ones. By the way, am I right in guessing this is Old Dog's business?"

"It's revenge, for the Red Accounts Department." Sandalwood nodded, "The Operations Department has already been fully booked."

"I think the Mooncryer will find a way to stab you in the back sooner or later." The man in the red suit drank the champagne in his glass and said cheerfully, "I'm afraid your two deputies have been wanting to take the position for a long time."

"It's good to have ambition, but Yuekugui has made a lot of money recently, and I'm afraid he will have to treat me to a meal." After saying this, Sandalwood poured the cold tea on the table back into the pot, and then picked up the pot directly.

"Finished?"

"I've said everything I need to say, remember to recruit people."

"Get out." The man in red suit gave him a middle finger, but Sandalwood didn't care and turned around and left the noisy dance floor.

"Still drinking, Chief?" a questioning voice came from behind, and the man in the red suit waved his hand casually and stood up. "Taohua Miasma, ask Lao Gou if he has time. I need to find him some capable people. Also, don't expect me to add new staff. Eight groups in the Red Accounts Section is already the limit. Let him decide for himself which group he should be assigned to."

"learn."

"Also, please help me make a small report to the General Affairs Department, saying that old man Sandalwood is adding to everyone's workload again, and the Operations Department has already started to roll up its sleeves. In the long run, this will be detrimental to the physical and mental health of the company's employees."

"already sent."

"it is good!"

"But Master Die, you didn't tell the truth, did you?"

Suddenly, someone walked down from the dance floor. She was a slim woman, but Young Master Butterfly in red suit felt a headache when he saw her.

"Whose face is this?"

"I made it myself." The woman took the glass of wine from Taohua Zhan next to her.

"Why do all the section chiefs in our company have some quirks?" Young Master Die stretched out his fingers and began to count in front of the woman. "The old man who liked to pour water just now is a perfect match for the King of Rolls in the Operations Department. What about you? What's your hobby of changing your face every day?"

"Aren't you tired of only seeing one face in the mirror every day? It's not like I'll stop using it after I change it. I have many faces that I use in rotation." The woman smiled sweetly, and Master Die felt a headache.

"Do you know how much trouble it is for me to teach those young people how to get to know the head of the search department every day?"

The woman was puzzled after hearing this: "Does your employee training include this kind of thing?"

"Last time, someone who said something rude happened to be coming out of the infirmary when Zhirun came out, and he woke up on the operating table that night. Since then, I knew that I had to at least let these arrogant little bastards know who they should be polite to." Master Die snorted coldly, "Do you know how much effort the Human Resources Department has to put in to bring together these fifth-level guys who all have some skills?"

"The search department has been pretty idle lately, how about I send a few people to help you?"

"Then the whole company will know what color my underwear is tomorrow, right?"

"Everyone in the company knows that you only wear red clothes." The woman laughed, "I can really help."

Young Master Die shook his head.

"Okay, okay, the wine is good, thank you." The woman put the wine glass back on the tray that Taohua Zhan was holding. "My pleasure." Taohua Zhan bowed.

After watching the woman return to the dance floor, Mr. Die also walked out of the bar and teleported back to his office.

"The potential assessment of the branch office..." He took out a folder from the cabinet, pulled out a few sheets of paper, and glanced at the first one. "Lyudmila, it looks okay..."

  =

Lyudmila sat in a bright reception room, looking a little nervous.

The building of the Yelongting branch is no different from the headquarters. After all, for a distribution center, building a high-rise building is a matter of seconds. The reason why Lyudmila was nervous was that she heard that the head of the Red Accounts Department, whom she wanted to join, was actually here.

He was not even on a mission, but was inside this building. Considering that this person might be her future boss, Lyudmila couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure.

After waiting for a while, footsteps were heard outside again. A smiling woman opened the door. Lyudmila stood up and was stunned when she saw the person behind the woman.

"Why are you here?" The person behind asked rudely.

"It seems that you two know each other." The woman gave up her seat and let Christine behind her walk into the house. "It's a pity that you two probably don't have time to catch up now. Miss Christine, please wait here for a while. Lyudmila, please follow me. I am Chuoxinlian, the team leader of the Human Resources Department. I will be responsible for your application process."

"Oh, alright."

Lyudmila hurried over, and Christine sat down where she had just been.

"Ms. Christine, please wait here." Andrographis nodded to her, then took Lyudmila along the corridor to a door with a sign that read "Red Account Department."

"Lyudmila, you should understand the composition of Yelong Court. Each of the ten departments of Yelong Court has a section chief and two deputy section chiefs, and the number of subordinate execution teams ranges from six to nine, and the status of the execution teams is equal. Originally, if you want to join any department and become a formal member, you need at least the deputy section chief to interview you, but since this distribution center is newly opened, we cannot put all our manpower here." Before pushing the door, Andrographis said to Lyudmila, "You need to think clearly. If you want to join the Defense Department, Operations Department or Search Department, because the section chief and deputy section chief are not here, at present, you only need the team leader to interview you. But the Red Account Department and the White Account Department are not that simple."

"I know, the head of the Red Accounts Section is here."

"Very good, now that you've made up your mind, go in." Andrographis pushed the door open, "Don't be so nervous, you've already passed the basic test."

Lyudmila nodded and walked in.

After passing through an empty corridor, she walked into a room that looked like a lounge. A burly man was sitting at a square table on one side, and a woman in green was standing in front of a bookshelf on the other side.

The burly man immediately attracted Lyudmila's attention because there were several scars on the man's face. Wounds should not exist in a distribution center unless tourists request them to do so. This man might be one of them.

"Lyudmila?" the man asked in a slightly rough voice.

"Yes."

"Sit opposite me. I'm the one interviewing you today. I'm the head of the Red Accounts Section, codenamed Old Dog." The man waved his hand casually, and Lyudmila walked over to him and sat down as he said.

"Tell me why you joined the Red Account Department. There's no need to introduce yourself. That show-off Young Master Die gave me very complete information." The old dog grinned, as if trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed, but the scar on his face made his expression even more frightening.

"I'm not good at protecting people, nor am I good at helping others. The only thing I'm good at is hunting and killing prey. The items I have now also leave me no choice." Lyudmila said, "If I join another organization, I will basically have to bear too much, and I don't have that much ability."

"So you want to find a position where you can just be a thug and learn from the experience." The old dog nodded. "Then the next question is, do you know what the Red Accounts Department does?"

"Revenge. I accept all revenge requests within the range." Lyudmila replied.

"Yes, of course. The orders we accept must have been reviewed by the Asset Management Department. We don't accept everything. But once we get an order, we must complete it. This is the guarantee of the Red Account Department's reputation." Lao Gou touched his chin. "And our revenge is to kill people. You need to be mentally prepared for this, but I won't test your martial arts level. After all, killing can be done by any means, and we don't restrict these."

"I'm mentally prepared."

"Really? The tourists you might kill have nothing to do with you." The old dog smiled. "Many people can't get over the psychological threshold of killing without reason. At least for some fifth-level tourists who have higher self-requirements, they at least have to have a legitimate reason. And for the Red Accounts Department, if the order comes down, you have to kill. There are ways to avoid fighting between friends in the scene, but the orders here absolutely do not allow any personal feelings."

"I know, it doesn't matter," said Lyudmila.

"Hmph, then you can join." The old dog nodded, "Mr. Die chose you, and I trust his vision. But I don't have time to take you, Zhuyeqing."

The woman in green, who had remained silent all this time, finally responded.

"The Andrographis just now will help you with the job. After you start working, your arrangements will be made by Zhuyeqing, who is one of the deputy section chiefs of the Red Account Section." Lao Gou raised his hand and pointed, "But remember, you listen to her for work-related matters. Anything outside of work, you should ignore what she says to you, and don't believe a single word of it."

"Chief, I'm also concerned about their combat experience. They are often deceived in normal times, so they won't be easily fooled once they enter the scene. Otherwise, those targets will believe you when you beg for mercy. What kind of people are you talking about when you are in the Red Account Section?" Zhuyeqing said coldly.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have told her to listen to you about work, but to not believe anything you say." The old dog took out a silver wine pot from his arms, "I'm suggesting that you save some reputation among the various groups. Recently, your reputation has been worse than that of the bee-tailed scorpion."

"Tsk."

The old dog was too lazy to pay attention to her. He turned around and said to Lyudmila: "As you can see, Yelongting is a company. It is not a traditional organization, a mercenary, or a killer association. You come here just to work. We don't ask for your loyalty. Apart from obeying orders at work, there is no superior-subordinate relationship. Of course, if someone bullies you, you have to find a way to get back at them. For example, this guy won't ask if the person is new or old when he beats someone up."

"That's not necessarily true. I would still go easier on the newbies." Zhuyeqing immediately objected.

"Tell me that when the people in the medical department don't complain about you!" Old Dog rolled his eyes at her. "Now, arrange things. Even the newcomers in the Red Accounts Department will have work to do right away. If you think the work is too much, you can find a chance to beat up that old bastard Sandalwood. I don't mind!"

"Ha, you're the one who asked us to go." Zhuyeqing sneered and walked out.

Lyudmila was a little confused for a moment until the old dog took out a file bag from his arms and threw it into her arms.

"Your first goal is to make preparations after completing the entry procedures. After Zhuyeqing has taken you through the basic preparations, you can choose whether to find someone to help you or act on your own. I won't ask anything else. Anyway, in the next scene, you will either come back with the news of his death, or you will not come back. If you can't do it, just submit your resignation application. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Okay, by the way, you are from Group 5. After killing this target, your team leader and team members will probably come over. Um... Also, pick a code name. No one in Yelong Court uses their real name, except for personnel and the section chief and deputy section chief. Even your team leader doesn't need to know your real name. You can ask Chuanxinlian for the reason. By the way, ask her to change all your records to code names."

After saying that, the old dog took a sip of wine and waved casually at Lyudmila, indicating that she could leave.
