Chapter 46: Refusing a Promotion and Salary Increase

After hanging up the phone, Shi Li was a little confused.

I thought the other party was urging me to go to work, but I didn't expect that he just said that he had something to do and I had to go to the card room.

"That guy, is he trying to trick me into going to work?"

He was a little confused.

In fact, after winning the championship last night, he was considering whether to resign from the card hall.

If you don't have to go to work, you will have plenty of time to lie down on weekdays.

After clearing some dungeons and participating in some small card tournaments, life will definitely not be worse than it is now.

In fact, the most important thing is not how much he likes to lie down, but that working in the card hall takes up too much time.

Moreover, I am already familiar with the simulated deck in the card hall, but my card-playing skills have not improved much.

It just so happened that Mosaicuo also had to take a shift in the afternoon, so Shi Li took a shower to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body and set off with it.

Arriving at the card hall, he separated from Mosai Mosai and came to the coach's staff room.

The blue-skinned guy was already waiting for him.

"Coach Shi, the director wants to see you."

As soon as he saw Shi Li, the supervisor got straight to the point.

"The curator never comes to us for no reason. Whenever he comes, it's always bad news!"

"You have to be mentally prepared."

As he said this, he gave Shi Li a thumbs up.

The general meaning of this thumbs-up is: the director is looking for you, you are dead.

"curator?"

Shi Li frowned slightly when he heard this.

Thinking back carefully, he seemed to have hardly heard of this person in the few months he had been working here.

I asked him casually when I first started working, and he said he was out for an inspection.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

But he was not afraid of the curator causing trouble since he was planning to resign anyway.

"Hold on, Coach Shi. Come on!"

The supervisor gave him a middle finger to cheer him up.

After walking through the long corridor, Shi Li arrived at the office door in a short while.

The office door was ajar, leaving a gap.

Before I even reached out to knock on the door, I heard voices talking from inside.

One of the voices belonged to Secretary He, and the other was a female voice that sounded slightly familiar.

Secretary He: "Director! Is everything you said true?"

Female curator: “Yes.”

Secretary He: "You want to train him to be a manager and take over the show card hall in the future?"

Female curator: "What's wrong? Is it not possible?"

Secretary He: "But hasn't the Xiupai Pavilion always been passed down by the Xiu family?"

The female director: "It is because of this old tradition that our card hall has been declining. In my opinion, the position of director should be held by the most capable person."

Secretary He: "This is a big break in tradition. Director, you should think twice!"

Secretary He's last words were a bit exaggerated, he just replaced the word "director" with "emperor".

“This is too fake.”

Shi Li looked up at the camera on the corner of the door.

I thought to myself, why didn’t you say it earlier or later, but waited until I got to the door before telling you?

Who are you playing this trick on? Have you never seen me play cards?

Knock knock.

Without giving the other person a chance to continue, he knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Um?"

But when he pushed the door open, he was stunned.

Secretary He supported the desk with both hands. At the other end of the desk sat a pretty blonde woman.

Isn't this that guy?

Although Director Xiu was not wearing sunglasses at this time, Shi Li still recognized him at a glance.

After all, the two sides sat one after the other in the audience seats for the entire morning.

"Hello Coach Shi, I forgot to introduce myself that day."

Director Xiu stared at him for two seconds, then smiled and said, "The 82nd generation successor of the Xiu family card hall, Xiu Wushuang."

"You can call me Director Xiu."

"Hello, Director Xiu."

At Director Xiu's signal, Shi Li sat down.

Then she exchanged a look with Secretary He.

"That's right, Coach Shi."

Secretary He understood: "Our card room has also been paying attention to the Rising Star Comprehensive Tournament."

"Yesterday, all the staff in the card room went out to witness your victory in person."

"Your victory has a positive impact on our gym. Just this morning, more than a dozen new members have signed up to join our gym."

"For this reason, the card hall has decided to give you a series of awards."

Next, Secretary He outlined the specific reward plan.

The first thing is to increase Shi Li’s salary to four times its current level, that is, 400 cubic meters per month.

Then there is promotion, and the coaching staff just happens to be short of a deputy director.

I believe other coaches will have no objection to making him the deputy director of the coaching department. After all, Shi Li's level has already been proven on the simulated poker table.

Putting aside the empty talk before, at least this reward plan provides tangible benefits.

The plan was finalized by Secretary He based on his many years of management experience.

It can be said that he has money and power, so there is no reason not to be tempted.

This salary, in particular, is much higher than the salaries of coaches in other card clubs in the city.

"I'm sorry, I refuse."

"Huh?"

However, what he didn't expect was that Shi Li actually refused.

This little extra salary is just enough for one copy.

It didn't shake his determination to resign.

"See, Xiao He, I told you that Coach Shidai wouldn't be moved by these things."

Director Xiu, who was standing next to him, looked as if he had expected this.

Because of Shi Li's thoughts in this regard, she had already tried to test him in the audience that day.

"Coach Shi, I will add two more points to his plan."

Then she just leaned forward and held up two fingers.

"First, the card room plans to organize a team building in the near future."

"One of the team-building projects is a group copy for 10 people."

"But you also know that the number of places for this kind of copy is definitely limited."

“So a quota draw will be needed at that time.”

"But I can guarantee that you will definitely win a spot."

"Oh, and your two friends, they are also employees of the card room, right?"

"Then we'll go into the dungeon together and fight monsters together."

Director Xiu's words made Secretary He raise his eyebrows.

It’s okay for Coach Shi, but do those two weird guys have to enter the dungeon as well?

You have to know that the key to this copy is in his hands now, and it was bought by the card hall.

Moreover, in order to accommodate Shi Li's player level, he bought the one with no level restrictions, so the price is even more expensive.

If we bring in that apparently unreliable straw man and mushroom man, and if the dungeon mission fails, it would be a waste of time.

However, he did not say this out loud. After all, he knew his cousin's temper well, and if he refuted her at this time, he would definitely suffer no good consequences.

"Second, I will give you access to the second-level simulated deck."

However, when Director Xiu said the second point, Secretary He couldn't help but get anxious on the spot.

"No way, cousin, you can't just give this authority away casually!"

He even stopped calling him curator.

Because this suggestion has touched the core interests of a card hall.

You need to know what the most important foundation is if you want to set up a card club .

That is naturally the simulated card library of the simulated card table.

This thing mainly relies on accumulation and represents the foundation of a card hall.

As a card hall with a long history, Xiu Pai Guan’s accumulation in this respect is not inferior to those of the current large chain brands.

The simulated deck of cards in the card show hall is divided into 2 and a half layers in total.

In the first level, the upper limit of card level is B.

This layer contains a large number of cards. Considering the costs of operation, technology, maintenance, etc., they have only opened up about 1/10 of the capacity so far.

But this 1/10 alone is enough to meet the daily needs of the card show hall today.

Level 2: Card level cap is A.

In order to maintain the fluidity of the deck, the cards on the first level will be replaced regularly.

But the second floor is completely closed and not open.

The reason is simple: we can’t afford it.

With the current level of operation of the Show Card Hall, there is not enough money to maintain the large-scale, long-term opening of the second floor.

Although the number of cards in the second layer is not as much as that in the first layer, their levels are higher and their types are richer.

For any card player, if he can practice on the second-level deck, he will definitely make greater and faster progress.

If you are not an absolute core member of the show card hall, you cannot enjoy this treatment.

There are only three people who still work in the show card hall and have the second level of authority.

Director Xiu, himself, and an old coach who has worked here the longest.

As for why it is said to be 2 and a half floors, it is because the existence of the 3rd floor was only speculated by Secretary He and has not been verified.

He believed that there was a third level with an upper limit of S-level cards, but his cousin never mentioned it.

All in all, he disagreed with the second suggestion.

You should know that Show Card Gallery is not very famous among the customer base now, but it is very famous among its peers.

It's because of the existence of this deck.

In previous years, representatives from other card halls have sought cooperation in preparation for the city competition.

Basically, you pay a hefty fee and apply to use their second-tier deck for practice.

However, all such cases were rejected by the card show hall without exception.

In fact, in the end, only the representative players were given 100% of the first level, and they were already satisfied.

So Secretary He actually understood why the curator made this suggestion, because he believed that the second-level deck would be a considerable temptation for any player who wanted to improve his skills.

However, Coach Shi was a new employee who had only been in the job for a few months and did not even have the 1/10th of the authority at the first level fully opened. To directly open the second level was really a big step.

However, what neither Secretary He nor Director Xiu expected was that in the face of these two new suggestions, Shi Li still said the same thing.

"I'm sorry, I refuse."

"Ah? Why?" x2

Director Xiu and Secretary He were both stunned on the spot.

Especially Secretary He who held opposing views.

He protested so strongly, but it turned out that others had no intention of accepting it at all!

But as the two asked in unison, they really couldn't understand why Shi Li would refuse such tempting conditions.

"I don't want to be in management, because then it's hard to skip work."

Shi Li told the truth.

"???"

These words completely confused Secretary He.

I have turned a blind eye to your slacking off at work.

But isn’t it a bit too brazen to say it directly in front of the boss?

This is the person who pays you! Can you please show some respect?

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Director Xiu.

I was thinking, if my cousin gets angry later, should I stop her or not?

Sure enough, he saw that Director Xiu had a serious look on his face at this time, and then he slowly spoke.

"So that's the reason?"

"Little boy, if that's the case, I'll have to educate you."

But what surprised Secretary He was that Director Xiu did not get angry, but instead seemed to be speaking in a serious and sincere manner.

"Have you ever thought about this problem? In fact, becoming a manager makes it easier to slack off and skip work!"

"Look at me, I haven't been to work for three months!"

She spread her hands out in a very nonchalant manner.

"It seems to make some sense..."

Shi Li touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

"???"

Secretary He was confused again.

"What should a leader learn? Delegate power! Delegate power! Delegate power again!"

"You have to trust your men."

"If there's anything you need, just leave it to him!"

As he spoke, Director Xiu also pointed at Secretary He.

"The curator is right. I've learned a lot."

"Then can I leave all my work to Secretary He from now on?"

Shi Li finally understood.

"????"

Secretary He had more and more question marks on his head: "Do you think I'm invisible? How about I go out now and you guys talk slowly?"

He suddenly realized that things seemed to be developing in a direction that was extremely unfavorable to him, and the channels of these two people inexplicably coincided with each other!

After some discussion, Shi Li finally agreed to accept their proposal.

However, there was one small condition, which was that he had to be the nominal director, not the one who took care of the affairs.

After all, the second-tier deck is indeed very attractive.

And after being enlightened by Director Xiu, he finally realized some things about the workplace.

Now that I have become a supervisor, that blue-skinned deputy supervisor who loves to give me the middle finger will no longer be able to control me.

But what he didn't know was that the moment he accepted it, Director Xiu and Secretary He smiled at each other.

Coach Shi was finally bound by them. All that was left was to give him some support to help him grow quickly. When the city competition started, wouldn't he be able to achieve good results?

After leaving the director's office, Shi Li returned to the coaching staff room.

"How is Coach Shi? Is he okay?"

As soon as the supervisor saw him, he came over with concern.

"It's all right, Old Blue."

Shi Li was in a good mood at the moment, and he smiled and patted the other person's shoulder.

I took a look at the other party’s supervisor’s workstation and it was quite spacious, not bad.

Although I don't plan to come to work often, I still have a supervisory position.

You can do without it, but you can’t live without it.

"Since you're here today, please arrange a class for me."

He said so.

"ah?"

Originally, Lao Lan thought the other person's gaze was a bit strange, revealing the kind of care and concern one gives to subordinates and juniors.
