Life Dungeon Game

Just as he spotted the workshop supervisor in the distance, his wristband suddenly started vibrating continuously.

It was a call from his wife, Aisha.

Jack paused for a moment and looked at the workshop supervisor in the distance who was chatting with several workers. At that moment, the workers were saying goodbye to the supervisor and were about to leave.

If you want to go up and talk to the workshop supervisor, this is the best time.

Jack touched the bottle of wine in his pocket. It was a fine red wine that he had bought for over six hundred federal dollars. The workshop supervisor was a big fan of wine, and if the other party accepted the bottle, things would most likely go through.

The bracelet continued to vibrate. Jack glanced at the workshop supervisor, but finally raised his hand to answer the phone.

"Jack, look at the email that Chairman Vian sent to all employees!"

Elsa's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"what happened?"

Jack was a little confused, but he still opened his email and saw an email sent to all employees in the name of 'Chairman of the Board, Vian'.

The message was sent at 9:30 a.m., which is the busiest time of day for work, so Jack didn't see the notification on his wristband.

The email was very simple, written entirely in plain language, and contained only two main points.

First: All school-age children of employees working for the Nolanca Group can receive a maximum tuition fee reduction of 35%, a living expense reduction of 40%, and a childcare fee reduction of 25% when attending kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools under the Group.

To apply for these tuition reductions, employees only need to fill out the corresponding form on the group's intranet and attach the relevant supporting documents. After the review is approved, employees can use this review document to apply for tuition reduction on the official website of the school they are about to attend.

Second: All employees working for the Nolanca Group can enjoy rent discounts on apartments under the group, ranging from 15% to 30%. Again, you need to submit an application form on the intranet. After the application is approved, you can take the relevant application documents to the apartment manager to process the rent reduction.

The email also included two documents outlining the review rules for benefits.

Jack downloaded the file and took a look. He discovered that new immigrants like him, who were both employed and had no savings when they first arrived in Kaya City, could apply for very generous benefits.

"Have you finished watching? Have you finished watching?"

My wife's excited voice came through the phone.

She has repeated it several times.

“I’ve finished reading it,” Jack said calmly, much calmer than his wife. “These benefits look good, but they all need to be reviewed. And how they’re reviewed is up to the higher-ups. It won’t affect us ordinary employees.”

“This time is different,” the wife’s voice suddenly lowered, and she said softly.

“I heard from my colleagues that this time it was our new chairman of the board, Mr. Vian, who personally pushed for it.”

He ousted the original chairman of the board, someone named Philip, who had embezzled the group's assets.

A significant amount of public funds has been misappropriated, and the current chairman, Mr. Vian, is a good man. He has used the funds that Philip embezzled to provide employee benefits.

It seems he had a falling out with the board of directors over this matter. The board wanted to distribute the money directly as dividends, but he firmly refused because he was the major shareholder and was forcibly pushing through this welfare policy. It is said that this time, anyone who applies as an employee will receive the benefits.

My colleague said she heard this from her older sister, who is a manager; it was inside information, and she told me not to tell anyone.

"Why does this story sound so bizarre?"

Jack was somewhat skeptical.

“I already told you it’s insider information,” Aisha whispered on the other end of the phone. “Anyway, it’s free, so it’s not a loss for us to apply. It says here that we’ll get the results in 24 hours at the latest. If it doesn’t work out then, we can think of other ways.”

Jack hesitated for a moment, gripped the red wine in his pocket, and nodded slightly. "I'll send you the materials, and we can apply."

Just as his wife said, since it's free, there's no harm in trying.

······

Jack returned to the workshop when the lunch break ended.

He put the wine he was carrying into the locker.

"You bring alcohol to work?"

Jack's coworker was a middle-aged man with red curly hair, a big beard, and a large beer belly. He came over and asked with a smile, "Want to grab a couple of drinks after get off work?"

"I bought the wrong thing a few days ago, and I'm going to return it today."

Jack smiled and locked the liquor in the cabinet. As a newcomer, he wasn't very familiar with his coworkers and still maintained a certain distance when speaking to them. "My wife is waiting for me to come home for dinner tonight, so I won't go."

"Good man, good man."

The bearded worker smiled and sighed a couple of times, not getting angry at being rejected.

Just then, a few more workers came over, waving their wristbands. "Did you see that email from the board of directors? What do those old men mean? It's 35% now, then 25%, we don't understand. Is this thing reliable? Are those old men just coming up with some new way to make money and fooling us?"

Immediately, everyone started discussing it, and Jack was also drawn into the discussion.

As he spoke, he slowly began, "I have some inside information that I heard from my wife's colleague's supervisor. Don't tell anyone else..."

-

He Ao leaned back in his chair at his desk, the projection screen in front of him displaying the ever-changing number of applicants.

Lina, sporting two enormous dark circles under her eyes, sat next to He Ao, chugging cups of coffee into her mouth.

"How's the effect?"

She peeked out and looked at the numbers on the monitor.

The review process is not entirely manual. Eve first filters all the applications, roughly categorizes them, and then passes them on to the administrative staff who are urgently summoned in the morning for review.

The feedback from these reviewers will ultimately be fed back into Eve's database, allowing her to use machine learning to make more accurate judgments.

Of all the reviewers, those who are clearly ineligible, such as those who do not have children applying for school subsidies, will be allocated a preferential quota as long as they apply.

However, for high-income individuals such as senior executives of a group, the discounts they receive are very small, not exceeding five percent, and there is a deduction cap, so it's basically just a formality.

The lower the level of the worker, the lower their income, and the worse their economic situation, the greater the preferential treatment they will receive.

The reason for making this decision to distribute benefits equally is to establish the credibility of the group's senior management.

The next chapter is tomorrow morning! I'll try to write as much as possible. It's the last day, so please vote with double monthly tickets!

Chapter 238 Things Are Getting Better (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe, Favorite, and Subscribe Monthly)

During the more than ten years that Philippe led the group, the reputation of the board of directors among the lower levels was not so much respected as to be universally hated.

Basically, most of the decisions made by the board of directors led by Philip were made under the guise of doing what was best for the employees, but were actually for their own profit.

Therefore, the first thing to do is to rebuild the credibility of the group's leadership.

Although the "insider information" that Lina fabricated had many factual flaws, it actually conveyed the message that the group's leadership had changed, completely severing ties with the previous board of directors, and thus rebuilding the credibility of the new leader.

"Mr. Wei An, isn't there going to be some problems with implementing this policy so hastily?"

Lina looked at the rapidly increasing number of people on the screen and asked cautiously, as she hadn't expected so many people to apply.

"No policy has a perfect solution from the beginning; it's all about constantly identifying and solving problems."

He Ao's gaze lingered on the constantly changing numbers on the screen. "Development itself is about moving forward through trial and error."

In just a few hours, nearly 10,000 people have submitted their applications.

Many of these people are not actually the target group of this welfare policy; some are even trying to take advantage of the situation and make a quick buck.

Before the plan was implemented, no one knew what problems would be encountered. Problems were discovered and solved during the implementation process.

Lina nodded as if she understood, but her eyes were surrounded by dark circles and showed obvious signs of fatigue.

After all, she had stayed up for three nights in a row, slept for an afternoon, and then had to stay up all night again. She wasn't a superhuman, and even though she was still mentally excited, her body was starting to give out.

“You did a good job,” He Ao said, looking at her tired appearance. “There are a few empty guest rooms upstairs. Go and rest for a while.”

"what?"

Lina was taken aback. She glanced at the luxurious villa and, still somewhat dazed, followed the maid who had come to do housework upstairs.

Vian's villa is mostly cleaned by smart robots, but every now and then a professional housekeeper is hired to do a deep cleaning. After all, such a large villa is actually only lived in by Vian and Danny, and there are many places they can't go to. Over time, some plants and insects will inevitably grow and damage the building.

Normally, it's the old butler Danny who does this kind of thing—bringing people into the guest rooms—but Danny isn't in the villa right now.

-

"Director Danilo, you can't make things up without evidence."

A middle-aged man with a large belly, dressed in a baggy suit, leaned back in his boss's chair, slamming his fist on the table in anger as he spoke to the elderly, silver-haired butler in front of him.

This person is Jamie, the head of the asset management department of the Nolanca Group. The asset management department is responsible for managing, processing, and purchasing the assets of the entire group headquarters, and it is a very lucrative department.

"Cough cough,"

Danny coughed, and two FBI agents stepped out from behind him. "You shouldn't be talking to me about this; you should be explaining it to the FBI."

"Hello, Mr. Jamie,"

"

The FBI agent leading the way displayed the FBI's olive shield insignia. "This is an arrest warrant. You are suspected of trafficking in corporate assets, smuggling weapons across city lines, and selling illegal drugs. Please come with us."

If it's just corruption within the group, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Kaya City Police Department. However, if the case involves multiple fortified cities, then it falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI.

"I'm not I didn't."

Jamie tried to resist, but two FBI agents stepped forward, each grabbing one of his hands and slamming him onto the desk.

He was used to indulging in debauchery and was physically weak. After struggling for a while, he was panting heavily and sweating profusely.

He looked up at Danny, "Uncle Danny, please forgive me. You used to hold me when I was a child."

Danny shook his head and turned to walk out of the office.

"Danello, you old bastard, you and that little bastard are here to seize power. You're eliminating dissidents. My father is also a shareholder of the group and a member of the board of directors. This group doesn't belong to you. What right do you have to arrest me? You've broken the rules."

Jamie's roar came from behind the old butler, but his voice did not cause Danny the slightest disturbance. The old butler calmly walked into the depths of the corridor.

This time, Danny brought not only two FBI agents, but also a large number of police officers.

These people roamed the entire building, taking people away one by one.

These once-powerful managers were escorted past their subordinates.

This is the result of yesterday's investigation by He Ao and Danny into the sale of group assets.

Actually, there's not much to investigate. Just like Philip openly embezzling the group's assets, these people do things without any concealment. Evidence of their sale of the group's fixed assets is even clearly stored in the group's archives.

But pulling up a radish brings out the mud; this case involves a large number of senior managers, most of whom are relatives of the board of directors.
