New Position
Juan looked at the time. It’s almost time to get off work. I wonder whether I can get anything out of
Naomi if I go and see her at this hour.After contemplating for some time, he decided to go and ask
around since he did not have much time to waste.
He walked toward the translation office. All the staff there had already done packing everything,
preparing to leave the office. As soon as they saw Juan, they went back to their seats.
Juan glanced at them briefly. Although the workload in the Translation Department was light, there was
quite a few staff working in the department. What a waste of resources! I should transfer some of them
to other departments.
With that thought set, Juan quickly drew up a plan in his head. “Are you guys preparing to leave the
office now?”
“Mr. Juan, there are only five minutes left until the time to get off work. We’ve finished all of our tasks
with guaranteed quality, so…”
“That’s right, Mr. Juan. It’s not too busy today, so we’re thinking of leaving the office earlier.”
Juan remained silent as he scanned the staff with his beautiful eyes. What does he mean by “not too
busy today”? From what I know, they’re free every day. They try to act nice and all, but weren’t they the
ones who had spread the rumors when Mommy was in the translation room back then? I should give
them more tasks so that they won’t have any time for that nonsense.
“Oh, I see. Before you guys leave, I have something important to announce. We plan to transfer some
of the staff here to other departments since there’s not much going on in the Translation Department.
Who’s interested in this?”
Everyone in the department was surprised upon hearing Juan’s words. They looked at each other for a
second before one of them asked, “What are the other departments?”
“We’ll only know tomorrow!” Juan replied.
What do you mean by that? If that’s the case, we can’t even estimate the workload. Also, will the salary
be higher? The staff hesitated as there were too many unknown factors. None of them wanted to go to
the new department in such a risky situation. Hence, they lowered their heads quietly in unison after
exchanging glances.
After pondering for a moment, Juan selected a few of them randomly. Naomi was the last one who got
chosen.
Naomi was shocked. She lifted her head and stared at Juan in a daze.
“Report to the HR department tomorrow. They will assign the new positions for you guys tonight.”
“Mr. Juan, I’m used to translating jobs. Can I choose to stay here?” one of them asked.
“You’re used to translating, but Seet Group doesn’t need any more translators. How about you go and
look for similar jobs from other companies?”
That staff was at a loss for words. “N-No. It’s okay, Mr. Juan. I’ll report to the HR department tomorrow.”
“All right.”
Seeing that, the rest of the staff swallowed their words instantly. They had no choice but to follow
Juan’s orders.
Juan shifted his gaze onto Naomi’s face, eyes brimming. “Do you have any questions?”
Naomi hesitated briefly before shaking her head.
“Come with me, then. I have a suitable position that I can assign to you today.”
“Yes, Mr. Juan.” Then, she followed Juan into his office.
“Mr. Juan, may I know what position you are assigning me?”
“I have an important position for you, and I’m sure that you’ll fit that role perfectly.” Juan’s words were
meaningful.
Naomi’s heart began to pound frantically upon sensing that there was something off with Juan’s words.
“Mr. Juan, what important position do you mean?”
“A spy! A special spy in our company. Do you like this position?”
Fear and panic appeared in Naomi’s eyes upon hearing that. Could it be that he has found out that I’m
a spy?
