Wu Chang asked suspiciously, "Mr. Mo Ke, what exactly are you congratulating on?"
Mo Ke didn’t say it directly, just smiled and said, "Congratulations on reaching the pinnacle that everyone dreams of, the peak of Hymn Company."
Having just sent soone to the peak of Hymn Company, Wu Chang didn’t think it was a complint.
He had so guesses about what Mo Ke was implying, but wasn’t sure, as it was too sudden; Schultz hadn’t inford him in advance.
"Could you elaborate?"
Mo Ke shook his head, "If the surprise’s secret is revealed ahead of ti, it won’t be a surprise anymore. You’ll soon know what I’m talking about."
Wu Chang wasn’t Batman and didn’t have the leisure to deal with riddles, so since Mo Ke said he would find out soon, he didn’t bother to ask further.
The elevator reached the conference room on the 95th floor. As the elevator doors opened, and when Mo Ke was about to step out, he whispered,
"Manager Sean, the chairman really values you."
Wu Chang slowly typed a question mark, wondering why this riddler continued to hint.
The ergency eting held on the 95th floor indicated that the entire managent had to attend, not only the main office of Hymn Company but also the managent from all its global branches, including level-six Gold dal Employees in managent positions.
The conference room, able to accommodate a thousand people, was almost full at this mont, with massive video wall displays around showing mbers engaged in video conferencing from other branches.
The managent of Hymn Company worldwide amounted to over three thousand people.
If Schultz wanted, with hard power alone, he could easily flatten most dium-sized countries.
This is Hymn Company, a monstrous entity with influence across the world, unbound by any rules.
Except for a few, other employees were temporarily notified to attend the ergency eting; especially those from other branches. So had just laid down to enjoy their daily two hours of sleep when they were imdiately pulled up to attend a remote eting.
People were discussing and inquiring about the content of the eting, but after going around asking, they found nobody seed to know.
With Schultz’s entrance, everyone quieted down, eyes focused on the man sitting at the forefront in the C-position.
If this were a comic, ninety-nine percent of the employees in the room would have starry eyes at this mont.
Within Hymn Company, few do not idolize Schultz, a person who, within just fifteen years, could transform a second-rate arms company into its current size. Who could resist such a quality idol?
After delivering a brief eting greeting, Schultz handed over the proceedings to Mo Ke.
Mo Ke addressed the crowd:
"This ergency eting is to announce three things."
"The first and most important thing is to announce the candidate for the newly promoted level-nine partner."
As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone in the conference hall began to breathe heavily.
A level-nine partner, the dream position of all employees. Every ti soone is seen becoming a level-nine partner, it’s as if they’ve witnessed a dream co true and can’t help but imagine if they might be the next person.
After all, employees eligible to attend this eting have already reached managent, and each has confidence in their business capabilities. Given an opportunity, they too could occupy the position of a level-nine partner.
Before Mo Ke announced it, everyone couldn’t help but speculate on the new level-nine partner.
Manager Farrell from the Safety Insurance Departnt was diligent and hard-working, bringing a regular departnt to second in performance, undoubtedly the best candidate for promotion to level-nine partner.
Oliver, the High Energy Weapons Departnt manager, although the growth rate was lower, maintained stable performance, making him well-deserving of the selection.
Manager Hughes from the Spiritual Ability Activation Departnt, although lacking in so aspects, had seen rapid progress in spiritual ability activation technology in recent years, which is hailed as the future of humanity, making it quite reasonable.
While everyone wondered whose lap the level-nine partner selection would fall into, they heard Mo Ke announce.
"The newly appointed level-nine partner is Sean, manager of the Fully Automated Defense Systems Departnt."
The usual round of applause upon announcing a new level-nine partner did not appear; aside from a few company executives starting to clap, most wore bewildered expressions.
Damn, who is this Sean?
Not to ntion the managent of other branches, even many managent mbers in the headquarters were montarily at a loss with the na Sean.
So even asked around, "Does the Fully Automated Defense Systems Departnt even have a manager?"
But as those in the know explained, people quickly understood what happened.
Oh, he’s Chairman Schultz’s cousin.
That explains it; having that connection, even writing a doctoral thesis titled "My Cousin, the Chairman of Hymn" could get you graduated imdiately.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chang stood up, bowed to the surroundings as a gesture of acknowledgnt, and then, at Mo Ke’s invitation, stepped onto the stage to beco the twelfth level-nine partner.
Feeling thousands of gazes from below that seed to speak volus, even soone as thick-skinned as Wu Chang found it a bit overwhelming at this mont.
Putting himself in others’ shoes, if he were in the audience, he too would internally curse the nepotistic relationships at play.
When he received Mo Ke’s inexplicable congratulations in the elevator, he had already suspected he might be getting a promotion.
Given his identity and current status, there was nothing else for Mo Ke to congratulate besides becoming a level-nine partner.
But what he didn’t expect was that the stage prepared for him would be so grand, to the point of making it difficult for him to gracefully step down.
Fortunately, he was Wu Chang, possessing 157 points of Will, because if the real Sean had to attend such a ceremony, it wouldn’t be a promotion; it would be group bullying.
