Seeing the disciples below stirring with eagerness, Sun Yi added more fuel. “Oh, right. The new management will follow new reward rules. I will now make all the management reward rules public. Take a look first. As long as you wholeheartedly think for the sect, I represent the sect in saying we will not mistreat anyone.”
After speaking, Sun Yi waved his hand, and a huge white cloth appeared beside him. It unfolded before everyone, and on it were clearly written all management positions in Qingyun Sect along with their annual salaries.
The sect leader, which meant Sun Yi himself, had a base annual reward of one hundred thousand points. He would likewise need achievements to obtain more points.
The several hall masters had a base annual reward of fifty thousand points, and their extra rewards would also be issued according to their achievements.
The Law Enforcement Hall would only have two deputy hall master positions. Behind them, it was clearly marked that the base annual reward was ten thousand points, with additional rewards after passing the assessment at the end of five years.
Under each deputy hall master position were two steward positions. Each steward had a base annual reward of five thousand points, likewise with another reward after passing the assessment at the end of five years.
Under the two stewards were two deputy stewards each. Each deputy steward had a base annual reward of three thousand points, again with an additional reward after passing the five-year assessment.
Under each deputy steward were also two managers. Each manager had a base annual reward of two thousand points, and they too would be assessed after five years, with extra rewards after passing.
Under every manager were two deputy managers. Each deputy manager had a base annual reward of one thousand points, and all of them would receive additional rewards after passing the five-year assessment.
Then came the Internal Affairs Hall, External Affairs Hall, Transmission Hall, and Miscellaneous Arts Hall. Under each hall, the situation marked out was the same as for the Law Enforcement Hall.
When the members and disciples in the central plaza saw the positions and salary treatment Sun Yi had announced, they could not help crying out in shock one after another. The treatment was far too generous, at least three times what management had received before.
Elder Qin Chu’s face changed. He hurriedly transmitted his voice to Sun Yi. “Sect Leader, are you crazy? If we calculate it your way, how many resources will we spend in a year? I warn you, the total value of the sect treasury’s treasures is less than ten million points.”
The other Golden Core elders also showed anxious expressions, because Sun Yi was giving out far too much.
Sun Yi smiled toward the five elders and Patriarch Qingxuan, taking the lead by signaling for them to be at ease. Although Patriarch Qingxuan was also somewhat puzzled, he still chose to trust Sun Yi.
At this moment, in the plaza, the disciples who had still been hesitating just now were all tempted. They were preparing to sign up and try as well. What if they passed the assessment? This story is hosted at novelping(.)com.
So the members and disciples below began discussing among themselves.
At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly shouted toward the rear of the formation, “Er Gouzi, where are you? Hurry up and come here. I need you for something.”
While everyone was puzzled, Er Gouzi, who had been standing in the Miscellaneous Arts Hall section, ran toward the platform with a dark face and soon arrived on the stage.
“Sect… Sect Leader, you were looking for me?” Er Gouzi lowered his head. His expression was extremely complicated: awkward, shocked, nervous, and a little fearful.
Sun Yi stepped forward, reached out, and patted Er Gouzi on the shoulder with a slight smile. “Don’t be nervous. It is not as if I will eat you. I lack a secretary by my side. From now on, you will stay beside me and help me handle things. Do not worry. The resources will be deducted from my side. You will not be shortchanged.”
“What is a secretary?” Er Gouzi looked at Sun Yi in confusion.
“You can understand it as my follower, or even my lackey. You will be responsible for helping me understand everything in the sect and incidentally help me pass along some orders. Do not worry, it is not difficult. I trust your ability.” Sun Yi explained to him with a beaming smile.
The corner of Er Gouzi’s mouth twitched. If this were before, he would have gone up and slapped Sun Yi across the face. But things were different now. Sun Yi was the sect leader. He did not dare make a move, and of course he could not refuse. A lackey was a lackey. Being the new sect leader’s lackey was not bad either.
“I have prepared test questions in advance for every position. In a while, follow the rules written on them and distribute the questions to the members and disciples who want to compete.”
As he spoke, Sun Yi took out five boxes and handed them to Er Gouzi. The positions were marked on the boxes, and each box contained many jade slips.
Patriarch Qingxuan and the five Golden Core elders could not help being curious. Each of them drew over a jade slip and inspected it. Before long, strange expressions appeared on their faces.
Although each jade slip did not contain many questions, only one hundred, they covered the problems that would be encountered during the term of each position. As long as someone could answer most of the questions, they could basically handle the position.
This was the first time they had encountered such a novel selection method. It felt rather interesting and quite useful, so they did not stop it. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Sun Yi took the opportunity to explain some matters to Er Gouzi at the side. From now on, Er Gouzi was his secretary, so naturally many things had to be made clear.
Two hours quickly passed. The members and disciples in the plaza had all made their decisions. More than twelve hundred people participated in the competition for management positions. Every position had several competitors, and the fiercest competition was for the two deputy hall master positions.
Previously, there had been five deputy hall master posts under each hall master, but Sun Yi had removed three of them. Now there were only two posts. With such good treatment, everyone wanted to get in.
Sun Yi did not care how intense the competition was. Although this method had many flaws, he only wanted to select relatively suitable managers in the shortest possible time. With such a large sect, he could not manage everything alone. And after such a major replacement, the newly appointed management would definitely be deeply grateful to him. There was no need to doubt their loyalty.
Next, Er Gouzi became busy. According to the positions, he distributed every jade slip and had the candidates answer the questions on the spot.
Another two hours passed. Sun Yi reviewed and scored all the submitted tests, ranked them by score, and finally confirmed the position arrangements. The results were publicly posted on the spot, with Patriarch Qingxuan and the five Golden Core elders as witnesses. The selected members were naturally extremely excited, while those who were not selected had no complaints.
Looking at the members and disciples below, Sun Yi said loudly, “All of you have seen it. The selection of management is fair and just. I hope that you new managers will serve the sect’s disciples with care in the future. Let us all make the sect stronger together.”
“I will give you five days to familiarize yourselves with your respective posts. After five days, you will officially take office. Do not think that once you take office, you can rest easy. Once major problems are discovered, there are plenty of people who can replace you.”
“As for the rest of the members and disciples, spend these five days cultivating peacefully and do not do anything else for now. Five days later, everything in the sect will begin anew. The Scripture Library will also reopen in five days, allowing everyone to study all its contents for free. Does anyone have any questions?” Sun Yi’s gaze swept over every member and disciple.
“No problem! Long live the sect leader!”
“Long live the sect leader!”
“Long live the sect leader!”
…
No one knew who started it, but deafening shouts soon resounded throughout the entire mountain gate. Patriarch Qingxuan and the Golden Core elders were all stunned, while a satisfied smile also appeared at the corner of Sun Yi’s mouth. But this was only the beginning. There were still many things to do next. The first matter was to take inventory of Qingyun Sect’s treasures.
