Chapter 682
Kurt sighed as he headed toward the job placement services next to Windex Building, his head lowered. Solomon wanted to call out to him but dismissed the thought after quick consideration.
He agreed that Kurt shouldn't have talked back to his boss. As employees, they were expected to serve their superiors like Gods, accepting criticism even if it was unfair.
After all, not every employer was as understanding as Carlisle.
"Kurt!" Carlisle suddenly called out.
Kurt halted and looked back, wondering why Carlisle, the chairman of Aurora Holdings, would know his name.
Carlisle got out of his car, looking somewhat thrilled.
In his previous life, the sales of the advertising company where Carlisle worked skyrocketed after the smartphone's release. With money to spend, his boss had hired a personal driver- the very Kurt Watkins standing before him now.
Carlisle and Kurt got along quite well in his past life. They always enjoyed chatting with each other at company dinners. When Carlisle fell sick and was hospitalized, Kurt visited him and even gave Carlisle his savings to pay his medical bills.
Carlisle had planned to scout Kurt from that advertising company a few years later, but he hadn't anticipated running into him here instead.
"Mr. Zahn."
Kurt greeted Carlisle as he approached. Despite being only five feet tall, he was all muscle.
Carlisle smiled and asked, "Did you say you just got fired? How about coming to work for Aurora Holdings?"
"Huh?"
Kurt was stunned by the offer, not expecting a job invitation from the chairman himself. Solomon quickly chimed in, "Mr. Zahn, I tried to bring him onto the security team last week because he's a genuine veteran. Just look at the calluses on his hands. It's the sign of someone who regularly trains in boxing. I believe he can take down a group of people alone!" "Yes. That's why I invited him to join us."
Carlisle nodded in agreement.
In fact, he knew Kurt way better than Solomon did. He vividly recalled how easily Kurt had handled a few problematic employees for their boss in his previous life.
"What are you still waiting for, Kurt? Hurry up and take the offer already!" Solomon urged Kurt, who was still in a daze.
Kurt regained his composure and nodded.
"Yes. I'm more than happy to join Aurora Holdings!"
Carlisle smiled warmly.
"Great. You'll work by my side from now on!"
While most companies didn't set high requirements and salaries for security guard posts, Aurora Holdings' security team was mostly made up of retired elite members from the Dragon Special Force and Leopard Strike Team. Their role was more that of bodyguards than security guards, hence their four thousand-dollar starting salary.
While the Dragon Special Force was responsible for the company's and executives' safety, the Leopard Strike Team protected Carlisle specifically. Therefore, the starting salary for the Leopard Strike Team members was five thousand dollars.
As the leader of the Leopard Strike Team, Wendell held the manager position and received a salary of 6,500.
Francis, Carlisle's earliest recruit and personal driver, was paid eight thousand dollars. Kurt wasn't from the special forces. If he were assigned to the security department, he would receive a salary of four thousand dollars. However, Carlisle decided to keep Kurt by his side, ensuring the latter would receive a salary of five thousand instead.
Carlisle wanted to repay Kurt's kindness from before. He planned to keep Kurt by his side until he had more funds to open a security company for him.
"Aren't you a lucky one, Kurt? You just got here, yet you already get to work with Mr. Zahn!" Solomon said, staring at Kurt with envy.
"Mr. Zahn, c-can I undergo Mr. Potter's training before I start working by your side? I think I might need to fix some of my work habits!" Kurt said, scratching his head embarrassedly. After Solomon agreed that Kurt had some issues with his attitude, Kurt reflected on his earlier behavior and realized he was at fault. He understood that he shouldn't have talked back to his employer.
Sarah suddenly said, "A word of advice, Carlisle. This man has serious attitude problems. He even tried to assault us earlier. You're placing a ticking time bomb by your side!"
