Chapter 455: Chapter 267: Is Boss Alex Actually the Most Dissatisfied with the New Hall Master?
Third floor, Manager’s Office.
"Change office?"
After listening to Amy Mansfield’s explanation, Barton Mansfield couldn’t help but be stunned.
"Yeah." Amy sat on the sofa, poured herself a glass of water to drink, and was fuming with anger, "I’m really seeing something new, using a token to run amok in the company. Before I found her, I wandered around the company for half an hour because of her. The old Hall Master—"
At the end of her words, she wanted to complain again, but remembering the earlier scolding, Amy had to hold back.
"How long does she plan to stay in the position?" Amy asked.
"Unless she willingly leaves," Barton said blandly, "or commits something and gets impeached by the elders."
Being the Hall Master of Biel Hall isn’t something that can be done or left easily.
Even if Nora Scott is willing to step down, it would take quite some wrangling.
Their hall still adheres to traditional customs; passing the position requires preparing three months in advance, holding an "inheritance ceremony," with all city-level and above leaders nationwide attending, and inviting influential representatives from various regions... In short, it’s a tiring and challenging job.
Thinking about changing the Hall Master in less than half a year, the leaders and representatives who suffered from last year’s inheritance ceremony extravaganza probably wouldn’t be pleased either.
So, after he finished speaking, Barton advised Amy, "Don’t get any crooked ideas."
"..."
Amy pressed her lips and remained silent.
With her strength alone, she certainly didn’t have the ability to make the ornamental Hall Master step down.
"Boss Alex said she won’t come often." Barton continued, "When she does come, just endure it."
"That depends on whether we can endure it or not."
Amy’s voice was filled with ire.
She took a breath, "I can hold it, but if Rosie were here, she’d probably start a fight with her already."
"Then when she comes, make sure Rosie doesn’t come around," Barton said, pausing for a bit before adding, "Anyway, there’s nothing happening when she’s here."
Amy was unwilling, "Does everyone have to treat her like an ancestor?"
"She’s the rightful Hall Master, so she’s our ancestor, too. No matter who’s in this position, we have to support them."
"..."
"We can only trust the judgment of the old Hall Master and Boss Alex," Barton persuaded.
"Boss Alex is close to her, of course he sides with her." Amy frowned irritably, "Don’t you know how the old Hall Master retired? If he hadn’t chosen a successor amidst that scandal back then, the situation would have been even uglier. Hastily choosing a successor, maybe he really misjudged."
This suspicion, Barton couldn’t answer.
Many young people in the hall were thinking—
Was the old Hall Master’s last decision really a misjudgment?
After all, there were plenty of talented people in the hall, even among the younger generation, there were many outstanding ones. Choosing a girl in her early twenties who wasn’t even a member of Biel Hall... It drew too much criticism.
After a moment, Barton could only comfort himself, "At least until now, she hasn’t caused any trouble."
"Ha," Amy was almost laughing out of anger, "Our expectations for the new Hall Master are so low that it’s just ’don’t cause trouble’."
"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock."
Suddenly, the office door was knocked.
Glancing at the door, Barton gestured with his eyes for Amy to calm her emotions, saying, "Come in."
An employee from the fourth floor pushed the door open and entered.
"Manager Barton."
The employee first greeted Barton Mansfield, then looked anxiously at Amy, "Manager Amy, that woman upstairs is causing trouble."
"What trouble can she cause?"
Amy was taken aback, asking inexplicably.
The office was shown to her, the office was changed for her, what more mischief does she want to cause?
The employee explained how Nora Scott had brought an assistant to tears, causing a commotion on the entire fourth floor, to Amy.
"... When I came down, I heard her say she wanted an introduction."
The employee added a sentence at the end.
"She could just introduce herself, why the need to get physical?"
Amy suddenly stood up, feeling her worldview was about to be shattered.
Yet Barton seemed relieved, "At least it proves she has some skills."
Amy: "..."
Have you already lowered your standards for her that much?
"I’ll go up there right now."
Amy said to the employee and lifted her leg to leave.
"Wait."
Barton called out to stop her.
Footsteps paused, Amy turned around, "What is it?"
Fingers hovering over the mouse, Barton clicked on the latest email from Boss Alex, pausing slightly, with a flash of contemplation in his eyes, and then looked at Amy with an intriguing expression.
"What’s wrong?"
Noticing something off, Amy was curious and walked over to the desk.
The employee bowed his head and quietly left the office.
"Boss Alex said, since she’s at the company, take the opportunity to transfer a few unfinished orders for her to handle."
Amy was surprised, "Aren’t they supposed to have a good relationship?"
Why are they still giving Nora Scott trouble?
"...I don’t know. Judging by Boss Alex’s tone, she should be able to handle it." While browsing the email again, Barton Mansfield instructed, "Hold on, print out the attachments from Boss Alex’s commission orders, and take them up together."
"But—"
"With so many people, getting everyone on board takes some time."
"..."
Amy Mansfield was quite astonished at how her brother suddenly became so relaxed after figuring things out somehow.
...
There were a total of five commission orders sent by Boss Alex.
Commission orders come in various types.
According to investigation difficulty levels, the lowest is E, followed by D, C, B, and A, with different pricing standards for each level. Among them, C, D, E levels are simple, handled by regional managers, and the highest fee is in six figures, which is very rare.
B-level is handled according to circumstances, and only a few are sent to the company headquarters. This level’s price is basically stable at six figures.
A-level is generally sent to the company headquarters because this difficulty requires cooperation from at least two or more regions and relies on the headquarters to send people for coordination.
Above that, there are S-level, SS-level, and SSS-level...
These all have to be ed to the government.
S-level is rare, only a few cases a month, and they’re major cases like criminal cases, corporate crime, etc., at least at the provincial level, requiring a lot of manpower, resources, and time. On average, completing one takes two to three months, sometimes more than half a year.
The price is naturally astronomical.
SS-level is even rarer, belonging to nationwide commission orders.
As for SSS-level, those are global orders...
Starting from SS-level, only elders and above have the right to view them. As for who carries out the tasks and how, it’s internal confidential information that requires coordination with national arrangements, which they don’t have the authority to know.
So far, Amy and Barton Mansfield, at their level, have dealt mostly with A-level commission orders, and even S-levels are rare.
"Boss Alex must be crazy, three A-level commission orders, two S-level commission orders!" Looking over the commission orders in her hand, Amy’s facial expressions went a bit out of control, "They’re all commission orders that hit roadblocks with no progress for at least a month. What can she do with them?"
Amy couldn’t help but doubt—
Could Boss Alex actually be the most dissatisfied with the new Hall Master in the entire Hall?
Otherwise, why toss such difficult commission orders to someone like Nora Scott, who hasn’t dealt with commission matters before?
Also reviewing the commission orders, Barton frowned slightly, then relaxed again.
"Did you notice," Barton’s brows smoothed out, "All these orders belong to the Northwest region."
"So what?"
Barton said, "I heard that Boss Alex used to run an inn in Northwest Anchel."
Amy frowned, "So?"
Handing the commission orders to her, Barton said, "Maybe she can actually manage it."
"Impossible."
Amy didn’t even think before dismissing it.
Manage it?
Like wandering around the Northwest with the token, boasting to anyone she encounters about her identity, that kind of "managing it"?
Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.
Barton didn’t argue with her but said, "First give the commission orders to her, then see if she can manage."
"...Okay."
Amy held onto the commission orders and walked out of the office with a heavy heart.
...
It took some time to print the commission orders, and by the time Amy returned upstairs, everyone had dispersed.
There was no sign of Nora Scott.
"Where is she?"
Amy approached the head of the technical department.
"She went to the cafeteria with her two younger brothers and a child," the head of the technical department explained.
"Two younger brothers?"
Where did she suddenly get "two younger brothers" from?
"Oh, she needed to activate her Hall Master privileges, so with the system upgrade today, Boss Alex brought in technical support to assist her." The head of the technical department said, "And it turned out the support was her brother."
Amy: "..."
What is all this about?
Have they already started treating Biel Hall as their family business?
*
On the other side, the cafeteria.
During lunch break, office staff and trained security personnel appeared in the cafeteria on the first and second floors.
The security personnel were led by their team leader, lining up neatly to get free meals in a designated area, whereas office staff had more freedom to take whatever they wanted and just pay at the end.
Nora Scott’s group split into three: one with her, another with Marcus Shaw and Andrew Hughes, and the last with Oliver Scott.
When Nora got her food, the three of them had already chosen a spot to sit. Seeing her, Oliver waved in her direction.
She carried her food over.
At this point, she heard Oliver chatting with Marcus Shaw, mentioning the words "Victor Technology."
Nora casually asked, "You mean Victor Technology?"
