Shadow Empire

Chapter 398 Dismissal, Family, and Father and Son
Ennio's father did not realize the seriousness of the situation at this time. He even thought that the HR manager was playing a joke on him.

In his understanding of the federal people, the federal people are very humorous, especially the middle class, who will make some harmless jokes to get emotional sublimation!

In his imagination, he would be fired from his old job, but at the same time he would be offered a new one.

Isn’t this how it was introduced in all the books he had read?

Give people a little scare first, and then give them a huge surprise, so that the surprise can bring stronger emotional stimulation!

So at this moment, he did not show any frustration or other negative emotions. He smiled and looked at the HR manager, "And then?"

He is ready to embrace his new life!
But the HR manager just looked at him like he was an idiot. "What then?"

"Then you should pack your things and leave the company before ten o'clock. We can only give you half an hour to do this."

"Anything you haven't taken away after half an hour will belong to the company!"

Ennio's father realized at this moment that this was not the "Federal Workplace Book" he had read. He looked at the HR director in disbelief, "Why, why did you fire me?"

"Didn't we talk about this before?"

"If I reach a thousand dollars in sales this quarter, I will be given a business manager position?!"

The HR manager shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with me. Go find whoever made the promise to you!"

He glanced at his watch. "You don't have much time, by the way."

Ennio's father's face was full of anxiety and uneasiness. He quickly left the HR director's room and went to the manager's office.

Ignoring the secretary's attempt to stop him, he pushed the door open and walked in.

The manager was on the phone. He saw Ennio's father push the door in and frowned at first.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressing. Ennio's father, who wanted to loudly question the manager why he not only did not fulfill his promise but also wanted to fire him, subconsciously shut his mouth.

"Okay, okay... I have something to do here. I'll call you later." He hung up the phone and glanced at the secretary who looked innocent. The secretary heaved a sigh of relief, closed the door and left.

The manager was only thirty years old, a dozen years younger than Ennio's father.

He was wearing a proper high-end suit and sitting in an air-conditioned room. He motioned for Ennio's father to sit down. "What's the matter?"

This sentence made Ennio's father angry again. He didn't sit down, but asked loudly, "The HR department just said that I was fired. Why did they fire me?"

"Didn't we agree that if the sales reach 1,000, I'll be the business manager?"

The manager did not deny it. He crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and played with a pencil in his hand. "Look, I promised you before."

"But some people say you bought those products yourself and you violated the company's rules."

"Company regulations?" Ennio's father said in a louder voice. "When was this regulation established?"

In fact, most of the salesmen in this company buy the products themselves.

The products they promote are not very competitive in the market, and the prices are not very cheap either.

If they don’t frequently purchase the guaranteed merchandise that can’t be sold themselves, they won’t receive their basic salary and may even lose their job.

Ennio's father looked for many jobs and changed many jobs. The federal people were not at all welcoming to immigrants who had no technical skills. Even if he wanted to work in a factory, he couldn't go!
As soon as the people in the recruitment office saw his immigration certificate, they told him that the position was full, even though they were still discussing the salary just a moment ago.

In addition, he had read many books about pursuing and realizing dreams, and he firmly believed that he could find his direction in this field.

He had already found the direction, but inexplicably, it was extinguished again. He wanted to know why.

The manager casually took out a contract and handed it over. "Turn to page 3, line 47, and tell me what you see."

Ennio's father did as he was told, and then saw a line of text -

"Salespeople are not allowed to obtain fraudulent sales results by purchasing goods privately."

"Once discovered, the company has the right to terminate the employment relationship unconditionally..."

When he signed the contract, he didn't pay any attention to it. He just glanced at it. His face turned pale at this moment. He was still trying to explain, "But many people are buying those products that can't be sold. I'm not the first, nor the last!"

The manager was still as slow as ever, "Yes, we all know that. If you buy one or two pieces occasionally, we don't mind and can let you go."

"But look, you bought hundreds of dollars worth of stuff in one go!"

"You are already deceiving the company. You are defrauding the company just to become a business manager!"

The manager threw the pencil in his hand onto the table. "The purpose of having you promote products is not only to sell the products themselves, but also to promote the company and brand. That's why we set a higher commission in the industry."

"But you not only defrauded the company, but also affected our external publicity!"

"Honestly speaking, not suing you is already the company's greatest mercy and kindness to you, so you shouldn't come to me now, but pack up your things and leave gracefully!"

Ennio's father's momentum suddenly weakened, his lips trembled, "We agreed..."

The manager looked at the man who was a dozen years older than him without any sympathy, "But you violated the rules."

He paused, "You can leave now, or I'll call security."

Ennio's father looked disappointed and sad. He wanted to say something and try again, but when he saw the manager's look without any sympathy, he finally gave up.

He thought about the sales of those products, "What about my commission..."

Fifteen percent sales commission is also a considerable amount, close to one hundred yuan.

The manager had a mocking smile on his face. “You violated the company’s rules. You are fired. I have already said that not prosecuting you is the company’s greatest kindness.”

"If you still want to cause trouble, either file a lawsuit and let us lose the case, and I will give you the money."

"Either we sue you and make you realize that these breach of contract clauses are not just for show. Think it over carefully!"

This combination of punches has been used against many people and is invincible.

In fact, this set of skills has been refined and everyone knows that almost all salespeople buy products that they cannot sell, but why don’t they say it?
Because this is how the company makes money - the salesperson underwriting model!

Many people may not think about it in this regard, but the capitalists in capitalist society have already mastered these things!

Those super conglomerates dare not sign reimbursement agreements, but for these sales companies, they can do it because the salesmen are covering for them.

Every salesperson will have basic tasks, and if they can complete these basic tasks, they will be able to get a guaranteed salary.

These guaranteed wages are actually generated from the profits of their sales. They are paying themselves while also making money for the company.

If they can’t sell these things, it doesn’t matter, they won’t get their base salary, so they’re essentially working for the company for free!

So if you want to get a basic salary, it means you have to underwrite the work. If you cannot underwrite the work, you have to work for the company for free. This model is very popular!

Get a few so-called star salesmen to constantly create myths to spur and motivate those who want to give up.

Plus, the industry as a whole is also publishing books to encourage people to pursue their dreams. This is a huge capital trap.

Lure in all those who cannot see the true nature, and then kill them mercilessly!

Many people don’t realize in the end that they have worked for several years, dozens of years or even decades, but still have nothing and are penniless.

Since the tasks assigned to them by the company every month are calculated based on models, how could the company possibly let them take advantage of the company?
At the same time, the company has to clear out a group of old employees every once in a while, because these old employees who have been unable to realize their federal dream will dampen the enthusiasm of some new employees.

So how do you clean them out?
Every company has its own different practices. In Ennio's father's company, they use the contract trap method.

Kill them hard once, squeeze out the last bit of residual value, and then fire them.

What if Ennio's father didn't buy the goods himself?
Then he will never have any chance of being promoted to business manager in his life. As long as he is willing to improve, he will definitely find a way to fill this vacancy.

As long as he really bought it himself, then he was fooled.

Of course, there is another possibility that he did sell these products. If he really did this, the company would have other ways, such as adding a "probation period" to see if he cheated. If he can continue to meet the excellent business standards for a quarter, then the company is willing to let him be a business manager. After all, why wouldn't the company want someone who is capable of creating more value for the company?
When he can no longer create value for the company, the company will still have a way to kick him out.

This plan ensures that the company is always profitable. Now more and more immigrants in the federation need jobs. They may be one of the few companies that does not discriminate against immigrants. Coupled with the rich business environment, naturally there are fools reporting in every day!

"Now, any other questions?" the manager looked at him.

Enio's father shook his head with a pale face, and the manager smiled, "Go out now, pack your things, and don't let me see you in the company again!"

"go out!"

Ennio's father could only turn around and leave. He returned to his desk and sat there for a while. Two security guards walked over from a distance and stared at him.

He just started to pack up.

He has struggled here for a long time, and he never expected that one day he would leave in such an inglorious way!

The people around him were talking, which made him even more embarrassed and desperate. He felt like he could hardly breathe!

He didn't know how he left. He staggered out of the company holding a box of things. He was pushed and fell to the ground.

Things were scattered all over the floor, but he couldn't bear to throw them away, so he could only pick them up bit by bit. Like a corpse without a soul, he subconsciously staggered towards home.

His dreams and all his beautiful perceptions of the Federation were shattered at this moment.

After all, Beno's execution brought something to the family. He was not at the bottom of the society. His death would make people have different ideas and would have a lasting influence.

Ennio has been with Morris all this time. Morris is still young and has recovered well, but he is still a little worse than a normal person.

Lance spent a lot of money to have doctors give him the best medical treatment. Although these methods may not be really effective, they are at least much better than doing nothing!

Morris was also very moved. When the two were bored, they suddenly started talking about his dead father.

"When I have some free time in a few days, I want to go to the cemetery to see him again."

"His life...ε=(ο｀*)))Alas."

Morris's father actually didn't have a bad life. He didn't suffer much and lived a happy life.

When he had money, he would go gambling; when he had no money, he would do a temporary job; when he won money, he would take him out to eat and drink; when he had no money, they would eat black bread together.

But as for enjoying life, I haven’t really enjoyed a good life.

He knew his father. Behind his father's passion for gambling was actually the idea of ​​getting rich overnight.

Essentially, this was the only way he could think of to make a lot of money and change his family's circumstances.

By doing temporary jobs?
You will never achieve anything in this life.

"What about you? Have you gone back to see your father recently?" He looked at Ennio.

Ennio was stunned for a moment and shook his head. "No, he is still dreaming about his federation dream!"

He couldn't help but want to laugh when he talked about this, "I hope his federal dream can come true!"

However, Morris's reminder and what happened to him made Ennio decide to go back and take a look.

His relationship with his father has improved a lot, and sometimes what people say is really not wrong.

All unhappiness comes from poverty.

Now that he is rich, inexplicably, the conflicts between him and his father have become less and less antagonistic.

Money is such a good thing!
After settling Morris down that night, he went home with two thousand dollars.

Ever since the Morris incident, these senior officials are now followed by people carrying guns wherever they go.

If they can attack and assassinate others, then others can also assassinate them!

Morris' serious injury and Lance's assassination are warning them that they are not the "protagonists" and they will also encounter danger, get hurt, or even endanger their lives!
When Ennio opened the door, he saw his father sitting at the small round table in the living room bandaging his arm.

When he was pushed and fell, both his arms and elbows were injured and a piece of skin was lost.

It was very troublesome to treat these simple injuries in the hospital, so he went for consultation and bought some medical supplies to treat them himself.

He didn't expect Enio to come back at this time. After a brief moment of surprise, he asked, "Have you eaten tonight?"

Ennio frowned and walked to the round table and sat down, "Did you fall?"

Ennio's father said, "Hmm," and "I accidentally fell."

"Let me help you. I'm familiar with this." Ennio took the initiative to take over the job. The father and son sat at the table without saying a word.

After a while, he cut off the bandage, pleased with his handiwork.

He has experienced dealing with wounds many times and knows what is the best way to do it.

Neither of them knew what to say and it was a bit awkward for a moment.

"I... let me get you something to eat. I haven't eaten yet, so you can eat something." Ennio's father stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Ennio did not refuse, although he suddenly wanted to go back and see his father, but when he really saw him, he didn't know what to say.

Sometimes the relationship between father and son is like this, hard to explain, but there is a hint of connection.

Ennio stands up at home while his father makes dinner.

His room was very clean, just like when he was there, and it was obvious that it was cleaned every once in a while.

There was no smell of decay in the room. He inexplicably thought of Bolton. Perhaps he should find another one for his father.

There must always be a woman in the family, he thought.

When he returned to the living room, he found a cardboard box in the corner, which contained all his father's things in the company.

"You were fired?" These were all he could think of, because for his father, who firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, he could become a successful person, voluntarily quitting his job was almost impossible.

But he soon realized something was wrong, because there were obvious, fresh scratches and marks from falling on the carton. When he thought of the wound on his father's arm, he felt a surge of anger rising from the soles of his feet.

"Did they push you to the ground?"

Ennio's father was embarrassed, "They pushed me, but I wasn't careful..."

"You sons of bitches, tell me what happened today!"

"I..." His father was still trying to brush it off, but Ennio was already a little out of control!
"They pushed you down, and you got hurt, and now you want to defend them?"

"Shet!"

"You should care about those who care about you, not cover up for those who hurt you!"

Looking at his furious son, he was not angry at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face. "Well, actually, this is the case..."

After listening to his story, Ennio was furious!
"I'm going to kill him!" he said.

He then stood up and asked, "What's the name of your company, and what's the name of that damn guy, do you know where he lives?"

Ennio's father was a little nervous, "Actually, I just fell down..."

Ennio turned and looked at him, "Don't stop me from doing something for you, even though you were a jerk in the past!"

"But don't forget, you are my father. If they humiliate you, it is the same as humiliating me and the family!"

"If I don't find him tonight, I won't be able to sleep all night!!"
