Chapter 535 The most evil boss!
Before Alicia recovered from her anger, the boss continued to abuse her: "Not only that, poor people like you, I will exploit you. You will only have one month of paid annual leave a year, and the year-end bonus will only be 3,000 gold coins!"
After saying this, he laughed triumphantly towards the sky, and the shrill laughter echoed in the conference room.
At this time, the audience in the cinema were also filled with indignation. Some people couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to leave, muttering: "Fuck, this is showing off, so infuriating!"
But Alicia in the film could only endure it all silently, her eyes were slightly red, and her heart was full of grievances and unwillingness.
"Fuck! I'm so pissed! You're so picky about this job?"
"Nah! 10am to 5pm! Work 4 days and rest 3 days! Plus paid annual leave! And year-end bonus! Even if you don't want to, I do!"
"Where can I find such a job?"
"I thought that Mr. Merlin's four days off a month and working from 6am to 8pm was a blessing. I advise you, Alicia, not to occupy the toilet without doing anything!"
"If you don't want to do it, I'll do it. You don't have much to do all day, so I'll just let you have fun! Damn it!"
The cinema was filled with angry and jealous voices from the audience. To be honest, even Merlin was a little jealous.
Under the torture of this "high-intensity" work, Alicia's health deteriorated.
Fatigue and exhaustion followed her everywhere, and various diseases also took the opportunity to attack her.
However, whenever she felt weak, her personal priest of the Temple of Light would always come first.
He gently placed his hand on Alicia's forehead and silently chanted a spell. A warm golden light enveloped Alicia and dispelled the pain in her body.
At the same time, Alicia's personal potion assistant was also busy.
The assistant is a young and capable elf who is proficient in mixing various potions.
He quickly took out bottles of rare herbs and potions from the medicine box he carried with him, mixed them together in precise proportions, and soon, a bottle of magic potion emitting a strange aroma was prepared.
After taking the potion, Alicia felt her body gradually regaining some strength. She looked at the priest and assistant with gratitude, her heart filled with warmth.
Merlin held his forehead with his hand. "No, there is also a personal priest and a potion master?"
Merlin looked at the audience who had already left half of the venue, and he felt his butt itchy.
Physical discomfort made Alicia emo again in her room late at night. The moonlight was like water, shining through the window onto her lonely figure, adding a touch of desolate beauty to her.
She sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the bustling business circle outside, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
Fortunately, in these lonely moments, there is always a little figure accompanying her, that is the elven dragon she raised.
This elf dragon is small and exquisite, and its green body looks like it is carved from jade, sparkling with a warm luster under the moonlight.
Its wings are like the wings of a giant butterfly, colorful and scattering tiny stars of light when it flaps.
The elven dragon's eyes are big and round, like two sparkling gems, revealing agility and intimacy.
It gently rubbed Alicia's cheek and made soft purring sounds in its throat, as if to reassure her that everything would be fine.
When Merlin saw the elven dragon, he was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. He secretly exclaimed in his heart: "No, elven dragons are something that not everyone, even the members of the elven royal family, can have?"
Alicia finally had enough of it all. She decided not to accept it anymore and to be the free and brave person she used to be!
Merlin was dumbfounded when he saw this, and muttered to himself: "Aren't you free now?"
But Alicia had made up her mind. She strode up to her annoying boss and resolutely handed in her resignation letter.
The boss took the resignation letter, laughed contemptuously, and said sarcastically: "You are so poor, and you still want to go out and work alone? Don't you know what your parents did to allow you to join my Chamber of Commerce?"
When Alicia heard this, her heart tightened and she quickly asked, "What! What are you talking about!"
The boss laughed out loud, and that laugh was full of malice: "Your parents rented out all the twelve houses under your name, and the money was used to arrange your admission into our Chamber of Commerce! Hahahaha! If you resign, will you be worthy of your parents?"
Alicia's eyes were filled with tears. She never imagined that her parents had sacrificed so much for her.
Merlin thought about the days he spent in the elves' tribe. He seemed to remember that the twelve houses were all located by the Moon Lake, which was a famous wealthy area of the elves. The properties there were either single-family villas or luxurious manors.
Why do you still work when you have twelve houses to rent out?
Alicia was touched, but even so, she still suppressed the pain in her heart and nodded firmly: "Of course, I still want to resign!"
Seeing this, the boss laughed even more wildly: "Hahaha, what can a poor guy like you do?"
Alicia clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with determination, and she said loudly, "Don't look down on me. I may be poor, but I have great ambitions! I have decided to open a chamber of commerce! I want to do the same business as you!"
Merlin held his forehead with his hand, thinking helplessly, "What kind of a plot is this? You quit your job and start a business to compete with your current boss for business. Isn't this going to kill you?"
As expected, after hearing what Alicia said, the boss laughed arrogantly. He approached Alicia step by step, giving her a strong sense of oppression. Merlin thought, "I guess he is going to use his connections and money to crush Alicia to death."
However, the boss laughed and said, "Resign? No problem? Open a chamber of commerce, no problem! I will even help you and tell you how to open and operate a chamber of commerce. But for a poor man like you, I tell you, you won't be able to succeed."
Merlin looked confused: "???"
Alicia roared angrily, "I don't need your help!"
The boss was adamant: "You don't need it? No, you must have it! Not only that, I will invest 300,000 gold coins in you!"
Merlin's eyes widened: "???"
Alicia was so angry that her face turned red: "You! You are going too far! I will not accept any investment from you! Any!"
Merlin was secretly shocked: "No? That's 300,000 gold coins! If I had 300,000 gold coins to invest at the beginning, I would have taken over the Arcane Academy and the Arcane City long ago!"
The boss frowned at Alicia's angry look, as if he was irritated by her stubbornness. He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Oh, I understand. That's right. Three hundred thousand gold coins really can't do anything. I will invest thirty million gold coins in you! I just want to let the entire Elf Forest know that poor people like you are nothing."
Merlin was completely shocked when he heard this: "30 million gold coins? Start-up capital? This boss is so rich? Wait, what does this mean? Just to prove that Alicia, a 'poor fellow', is nothing, he gives her 30 million gold coins? What a joke! What if he loses money?"
Merlin looked at the book "Caged Bird" in his hand, full of doubts: "Is this really a masterpiece written by the Elf Master? Is there really an audience for it?"
