Chapter 174 The New President of the Detective Agency

Charlotte didn't stay on Falcon Street for long. After a rare morning of hard work, she happily skipped work to pick up Anne who was about to finish class.

The two of them first had lunch together, and then went to the Alcatraz district. Three of the seven major detective agencies in the Fars Empire were located in this district. In addition to the Cat Detective Agency, the Wild Horse Detective Agency was also here.

The financial situation of the Fiery Horse Detective Agency is obviously much better than that of the Cat Detective Agency. It has three buildings facing the street, one five-story building and two three-story buildings. There are training facilities on the rooftop of each building, which makes it convenient for detectives to practice swordsmanship, shooting and even various skills.

The reason why Aubrey Teutonic Atwood was willing to sell the detective agency was that the agency's assets mainly consisted of its reputation in the industry and a group of professional veteran detectives. The real estate and registered agency name were not valuable. In addition, Charlotte's rise was too fast. Although the Wild Horse Detective Agency had people, it could not be compared with a group of knights.

Aubrey Teutonic Atwood believed that with his own abilities, it would not be difficult for him to make a comeback, and there were a group of veteran detectives willing to start a business with him again, so selling the Wild Horse Detective Agency and recovering some funds was the best option.

Charlotte and Anne got off the carriage and looked at the three office buildings of the Sharp Horse Society, feeling a little subtle.

Charlotte smiled and said, "Let's go in!"

As soon as Charlotte and Anne entered the Lima Agency, a trainee detective who was there to receive them asked gently, "Excuse me, sir, do you have any business to handle?"

Charlotte replied, "I'm Charlotte Mecklen. Call all the detectives from the agency."

The trainee detective who was receiving him froze for a moment, but she didn't dare to delay and ran out in a hurry. After a while, she ran back and said, "Mr. Mecklen, please go to the large terrace on the roof. Everyone in the detective agency is waiting for you."

"I'm sorry, but the detective agency doesn't have a place big enough to accommodate all the detectives, so we can only ask you to move to the large terrace."

Charlotte nodded and took Anne with her to follow the trainee detective to the large terrace on the fifth floor. This building was an office building. The other two three-story buildings were a dormitory and a data room and armory.

Charlotte had long known that the Sharp Horse Agency employed more than a hundred detectives, as well as two or three hundred detective assistants, a considerable number of trainee detectives, and various clerks. The number of people was indeed not small, and an ordinary conference room could not accommodate so many people.

When he went up to the large terrace on the fifth floor, he saw that the rooftop was densely packed with people. Even though he had led a knight group of tens of thousands of people, he was still shocked by so many people.

All the detectives were silent. They all knew Charlotte's name, and they also knew that it was because Aubrey Teutonic Atwood took on a case to assassinate him. As a result, three extraordinary people and eight detectives were killed in this case, and this was not the most serious consequence.

This Mr. Charlotte Mecklen then rose rapidly to become the commander of the Lucavaro District Patrol Army, the leader of the Knights of Favonius, and the director of the Lucavaro District Government Affairs Bureau...

Well, the Fars Empire's special envoy to the Ingrima Empire is a new political identity, and these detectives are not yet so well-informed.

Each detective had mixed feelings, not knowing how Charlotte would deal with them.

Charlotte asked with a smile, "All official detectives, please step forward."

More than 80 people walked out of the queue, and Charlotte asked, "Are there any extraordinary people among you?"

Almost all of the eighty detectives shook their heads. Charlotte nodded slightly. He had known for a long time that Aubrey Teutonic Atwood would not leave the best people for himself. He smiled and said, "I will be the new president of the Sharp Horse Detective Agency. If any of you do not want to continue to stay in the Sharp Horse Agency, I will give you a sum of compensation for your contributions to the Sharp Horse Agency over the years."

"For those who are still willing to stay as official detectives in the Wild Horse Agency, I will increase their weekly salary by 20 centimes."

Charlotte's method is not uncommon on Earth. It is N+1 severance pay. As for the new boss taking office, giving every employee a salary increase is also an old method, but most capitalists don't like to use it.

Charlotte's words made the detectives whisper to each other, and except for two or three people, almost everyone chose to stay.

Charlotte clapped her hands and said, "Since you've stayed, you're my employee. Please stand behind me, not opposite me."

More than eighty detectives immediately stood behind Charlotte. With these eighty people, Charlotte's momentum suddenly soared and she crushed the rest of the employees.

Charlotte said with a smile: "Assistant detectives and trainee detectives, if you are willing to stay, please ask the detectives behind me. If you are willing to stay, there are detectives willing to choose you, and your salary will remain the same."

Of course Charlotte would not give everyone a raise. Although these veteran detectives are not extraordinary, they still have experience. If she wants to carry out detective business, she can't do without these people.

But these detective assistants and trainee detectives are not that valuable, and his attitude becomes naked.

A detective shouted, "Little Charles, John, you guys come over here."

With someone taking the lead, soon one or two hundred detective assistants and trainee detectives also stood behind Charlotte. The remaining detective assistants and trainee detectives felt a little embarrassed, and their faces were gloomy. Many of them did not want to leave the detective agency. After all, even in Strasbourg, it was not easy to find a job with a stable income.

Charlotte smiled slightly and dropped another bombshell, saying, "For those of you who were not picked by the detectives, if you have a better place to go, I will not stop you and will give you a severance pay. If you don't have a better place to go, you can report to the Lucavaro District Patrol Army tomorrow. As you know, I am still the chief of the Lucavaro District Patrol Army, and I am very short of manpower."

This statement was truly earth-shattering. Many detective assistants and trainee detectives who were not selected simply could not believe that there was such a good thing in the world.

Maybe the income of the low-level soldiers in the patrol army is not as good as that of detective assistants and trainee detectives for the time being, but their career prospects are much more stable. Moreover, these people also know that Charlotte will definitely keep his word because he is indeed the commander-in-chief of the patrol army in Lucavaro District.

The atmosphere, which was originally a little cold, finally became lively after this sentence, and many people became more friendly towards Charlotte.

Following Aubrey Teutonic Atwood was a job for them, and following Charlotte was also a job. Only the people taken away by Aubrey Teutonic Atwood were his core team, and these people were just hired from the labor market.

Charlotte is clearly a better boss.

Anne stood aside and watched as Charlotte changed the owner of the Sharp Horse Detective Agency with just a few words. Her heart was filled with admiration. She had never doubted Charlotte's ability, but seeing it with her own eyes was still different.
