Chapter 10: Replacing Attributes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Smith did not ask Barrett to leave because he was good at cooking the books. Smith asked Barrett to leave because his resume was too powerful. 

A person with such a strong foundation would not stay in the company for a long time. Plus, it was unclear why he decided to apply to a small company.

If Barrett left, it would be too troublesome for him to recruit a new finance director.

Barrett was completely dumbfounded.

When he left, another middle-aged man came in to apply for the position of Human Resources Director.

Barrett looked at the other party’s resume and felt like the person was not too bad. He had never worked in a big and powerful company before.

He also had experience as a human resources manager. In addition, he did not have high requirements for salary. Smith then agreed to hire him.

“Brett, our company has just started, and there are still a lot of things to do. You should do more work,” Smith said to Brett. Brett was the new human resources director.

“Mr. Smith, don’t worry. Whether it’s overtime or work in general, I, Brett, have nothing to complain about,” said Brett whilst nodding. Brett was an elite investigator. 

“Well, you can do whatever you want with the next recruitment. I’ll go and check to see if the company office has been renovated.”

“Understood.”

“After all, you have to go to work tomorrow. If it’s not done properly, then it’ll be troublesome.”

Smith then left the recruitment market. He did not want to stay any longer.

Anyway, with Brett around, he just needed to recruit a few more people as a front. He did not have many requirements for the employees.

After Smith left, Brett gathered the elite investigators to have a simple meeting. After assigning the investigators their respective roles, the recruitment ended.

Smith had other things to do. He did not go home to play games. Instead, he went to the International Trade Center.

He wanted to rent an office building as the company’s office space. A company needed office space. 

Smith chose not to rent small office buildings. This was because their styles were not very fancy. He also did not have the ability to build his own company building.

Therefore, he decided to rent an office building with a better style. This way, at least his office would look more impressive. 

He went to the management department in the office building. He decided to rent 350 square meters on the 25th floor as office space for the company.

After he signed the contract and paid the money, they gave him an access card. 

Smith then went to have dinner and watched a movie.

The movie was quite good. However, he felt pitiful as he was surrounded by couples. It affected his mood greatly and made him feel really uncomfortable.

After watching the movie, Smith returned to his office building.

During that time, everyone in the building had finished working. There was no one in the 25-story building.

“System, decorate the office according to the standard of perfect decoration! Choose a simple and stylish design,” ordered Smith. 

In an instant, the system deducted 200,000 yuan from Smith’s account. 

A virtual projection of the office appeared, and the renovation was completed shortly after. 

“Perfect office decoration completed, office attributes generated… Completed, office attributes are as follows: Work efficiency + 30, Energy + 25, Full gay + 35.”

When Smith saw the last attribute, he was on the verge of collapsing. 

The attribute was simply blinding.

“System, replace the last attribute!”

Smith had no choice but to replace the last attribute. Otherwise, he would not dare to use the office. 

In an instant, the system deducted another 100,000 yuan from Smith.

There was no other way. If he wanted to replace the attribute, he needed to spend money. 

If this was someone else’s office, Smith would not bother to spend such money. Unfortunately, this was his own office.

“Attribute replacement completed. The replacement attribute is Wind attracting butterfly + 30.”

Wind attracting butterfly?

When Smith saw the new attribute, he started to think deeply. 

After a long time, Smith felt that it was better to just leave it as it is. 

As long as it was not a negative attribute, then it was fine.

The next day, Brett brought a group of elite investigators to the company.

“Mr. Smith, these are the people that I hired yesterday,” said Brett. 

“No, Barrett, how did you sneak in?” Smith was a little dumbfounded when he saw Barrett in the crowd.

“Mr. Smith, I already know about Barrett. He’s not a financial manager, but a field officer. He’s in charge of running errands and doing chores. He can even be the boss’s driver or bodyguard,” Brett explained.

“Running errands? Doing chores? Driver? Bodyguard? Are you sure?” asked Smith. 

Smith was speechless when he saw Barrett.

“Yes, boss, I’ve decided to work with you. I believe you will see my talent,” said Barrett whilst nodding. 

At the same time, Smith thought of the third attribute of the office. The third attribute of the office was to attract bees and butterflies. 

Why would such a talented person like Barrett want to work with him? An errand boy? He must have an ulterior motive. 

Smith gave Barrett a stern look. He definitely had bad intentions.

However, Smith was not afraid. 

“Since you wanted to run errands, then I’ll fulfill your wish. I don’t believe that you can do anything earth-shattering under my watch?”

“Alright, then you can stay. Everyone can do whatever they need to do. There’s nothing much to do in the company at the moment, so let’s just get familiar first. I’ll arrange things for you to do later.”

After saying that, Smith turned around and returned to his office.

He did not say anything encouraging to his employees. If they liked to stay, they could stay. If they did not want to stay, they could just leave.

The true core of the company was just Smith and his system. As long he had the system, he would be able to receive projects. The employees were dispensable.

Half an hour later, Smith wanted to find some information regarding important engineers on the internet.

However, he suddenly remembered that he was not alone anymore. He could just hand this piece of work to someone else. 

“Secretary, come in for a while,” said Smith calmly on the phone. 

Soon, there was a knock on Smith’s office door.

“Please come in,” Smith said calmly whilst acting like a big boss. 

“Mr. Smith, I’m your secretary, Eve.”

The lady who walked in smiled sweetly at Smith.

“Please tell Barrett to go to the construction area. The hall has some information about the government’s current talents,” Smith said whilst looking straight at her. 

“Okay, I’ll go inform him right away,” said Eve. Eve nodded and turned to leave.
