Chapter 214 You Become a Manager

"That's great!" Benson laughed from the bottom of his heart. "I didn't expect Klein to be even better than me in this area. It seems like I really need to change jobs soon..."

"Oh! It's great that you have the same idea!" Old Blue also smiled from the bottom of his heart. He picked up the remaining two file bags, carefully distinguished them, and handed one over, saying:

"This is specially for you, Benson, open it and take a look.

"As for me, I've been doing pretty well in Backlund recently and received a bonus, so I found a few partners and registered a company. The name is..."

"Tingen Branch of Perpetual Motion Company?" Benson took out a thick stack of documents from the file bag and exclaimed in amazement.

Then, his throat became dry because the format of this document looked familiar! He had seen such a document before when he joined the trading company! Combined with what Old Blue had said before... He quickly glanced down, and sure enough! Employment contract! Manager? ! Company manager?

"This... Mr. Blue, this is for me? Did you take the wrong one?" Even though Benson knew he shouldn't miss the opportunity and shouldn't say anything to refuse, this... this is a manager-level job! He is just an ordinary clerk in an import and export company! There are... uh, four, five, six, seven, eight levels in between!
"That's right, if you look back...if you look back, you will know why this position belongs to you." Old Blue said while sipping Filmore coffee.

Melissa was also shocked by Benson's words. She didn't bother to look at the "sister-in-law photo" in her hand. She turned sideways and looked at the company profile a few pages later with her brother:
"I will engage in the manufacture of new machinery... I will apply for patents... I will open my own research laboratory... I will also be responsible for sales...

“Company slogan: Create sustainable power and drive the future world.

“The positions we are currently recruiting are as follows: Project Management Manager, Marketing Manager, Steam Power Technology Development Talent, Clerk, Sweeper.

"Owners: Blue, Klein Moretti, Little F (pseudonym), Jacob Kelly, Ikonser, Roy Wellington."

"Klein!?! Klein is a shareholder of the company?!" Benson exclaimed, his facial expression becoming extremely interesting. He had already overestimated Klein as much as possible, but he didn't expect that the boundaries of his imagination would still be ruthlessly shattered!
"This... 'shareholder'? Is this what the boss means?" Melissa asked in confusion.

"Well... you can simply understand it this way. According to the amount of equity, we can understand it as the big boss and the small boss... Although in fact, this division is definitely not accurate..." After Benson explained to his sister, he said to the old man with a serious expression:
"Mr. Blue, can I ask what kind of job Klein is doing? Blackthorn Security Company... How could he raise enough money to become a shareholder in such a short period of time? Could it be... that he is not doing anything illegal?"

Melissa was stunned and also a little flustered.

"How is that possible... We are all good citizens who abide by the law!" Old Blue laughed and explained:
"As I said earlier, I founded the company. You saw that we even had to recruit cleaners... As for the equity, I found trustworthy friends and each of them gave different shares, which is equivalent to relying on each other... Among them are nobles, people from the church, etc. Hmm, can Melissa listen to these things?"

Before Benson could answer, Melissa said, "I hope to hear it! I'm not such a naive child! I'm already sixteen! I'll graduate next year...from technical school."

"Haha, you are still a child..." Old Blue was amused and continued:

"Strictly speaking, the company is still a makeshift team... Thanks to the relationship and funds of our 'friends', our company can absorb talents very calmly and is not so eager to cash in... "Klein is a young man I admire very much. I have seen his talent with my own eyes. I am optimistic about his future, so I gave him a copy and let him put his name on the company.

“By the way, I think you are a rare talent, Benson. Of course, I don’t have the equity for the time being.

"Plus, Klein described how you supported the family alone when he was young, not only feeding your younger siblings, but also providing them with an education... I am even more certain that you are capable of taking on the position of 'Tingen Branch Manager'. Well, our company's headquarters is in Backlund, and Jacob is in charge of that place.

"Of course, you have time to think about it, and you don't have to accept it. It's all fine."

"..." Benson took a deep breath. He had already figured out the nature of Klein as a "shareholder". He was just a sidekick, and probably held less than 1% of the shares! He had no right to interfere with the company's decision-making! It was just a personal favor! Benson had already made a choice in his mind. His current salary of 10 pound and 10 soli seemed dispensable in front of Klein, who was paid pounds a week. He could definitely give it a try!
"Excuse me, does Klein know that you want to hire me?" Benson asked. He just wanted to know whether Klein had exchanged something for his position...

Old Bruce waved his hands and said:
"I proposed this matter, and I made the decision. Well, look at the employment letter. The rest is a standard contract prepared by the lawyer. Only the name and weekly salary are left... If you want, just fill it in yourself. Fill in a number you like, and don't fill it in less than 10 pounds. It's very hard to start a company."

"No... that's too high..." Benson broke out in a cold sweat. Old Blue's company was really rich... The manager of the company he was working for now only earned 6 pounds a week! That was an import and export company!

"Don't worry, the company has sufficient funds," Old Blue lowered his head and rubbed Ah Fu's head, then smiled and said to Melissa:

"I heard from Klein that he asked you to help take care of Ah Fu after he left? You must have worked so hard... It must be tiring to take him for a walk? You even let him into your house..."

"Woo woo~" Ah Fu protested with his head arched.

"No, Afu is actually very well behaved! He always slows down when I take him for a walk. I think he is very smart! Even smarter than some kids!" Melissa praised Afu to thank the old man who gave Benson a good job.

"Haha, it's actually very stupid..." Old Blue said with a happy laugh:

"Melissa, I heard you're interested in mechanics? You're going to graduate from technical school next year? Have you considered furthering your studies?"

Melissa's eyes lit up when she heard the machine, and then she said dimly:
"Yes, I think mechanics are very interesting... Well, I plan to go to work after graduation! And save money for my brothers' weddings!"

"..." Old Blue was stunned, glanced at Benson who looked a little embarrassed, and laughed:

"Your two brothers have both got decent and high-paying jobs, so you don't have to worry too much... You should think more about yourself. The money you save can be used for yourself. This is the 'new era woman' that the goddess advocates."
