Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1204 You're Tired

Silence fell upon the room. These people didn't even pass the trial. The trial was just a formality. They bought their way in, and if they were to take a true trial, they'd all fail.

One of the bolder ones questioned, "They took our money! How will you deal with that? You can't just kick us out after taking our money."

Nicole looked at the man sharply. Then, she drawled languidly, "Take your complaint to them, not me."

"I gave them my money because they said they would take me in. You're going to deny responsibility because you're the new administration? That's fraud!"

"Yeah, this is a scam."

"Ms. Feuer said she would use the money to better the base, and now you're kicking us out after you took our money?"

Nicole let them complain for a while longer, after which she sneered. "She lined her pockets with the money you gave her. If you have any grievances, take them to court. I'll tell the cops to show you the accounts and how she actually spent the money."

Everyone shut up right then.

"The test will be held in three days. Pass, and you may stay in the base. Everyone else will have to leave." She left without another word.

Thanks to what she did, one-third of the staff members were cleaned out, and Nicole told the other members to start the recruitment process. She came up with the announcement herself, but considering the bribery and rampant corruption that happened before this, she added, 'No insider tip, no bribery, no corruption. Cold, hard skills and meritocracy is the name of the game.'

Everyone scoffed at the recruitment poster, but when the news of Gina getting arrested made the rounds, they changed their minds a little. When they were told that the base's admin was Nicole herself, everyone was whipped into a frenzy.

Nicole stirred up a storm in this city once, and everyone knew her. If she was the one who took over, then perhaps the base did have a chance to change. The netizens' mood soared, and those who were interested in joining the base saw a sliver of hope for a better future.

Under Gina's leadership, the base's reputation turned into one of infamy. Everyone and their mother knew that money was the name of the game when Gina was at the helm. Anyone could buy their way through and purchase a position for themselves.
