Mary Jane plucked up the courage to reveal the second main purpose of coming to El Technology Company today, which was to apply for a job for Peter.
This is what Mary Jane and Peter discussed on the phone last night.
But in fact, Peter was just worried about Mary Jane's safety, so he temporarily thought of using the excuse of finding a job to get her to agree to come to El Technology Company with him.
Although Dr. Octavius now has no funds and can no longer pay Peter a salary, Peter has never given up the idea of helping Dr. Octavius.
But now, Mary Jane has revealed her job search, and it's too late for Peter to stop her.
Leo didn't know what Peter was really thinking. He heard Mary Jane say that Peter was looking for a job, so he naturally believed it.
Because the Spider-Man in Leo's memory was always in a cycle of "unemployment, re-employment and unemployment".
Moreover, Leo wanted Peter's spider silk launcher and originally had the idea of recruiting Peter.
This is really the case when someone gives you a pillow when you feel sleepy. Leo has no reason to refuse.
"Okay, El Technology Company has just started, it's time to hire people, and I think Peter is very talented, I think..."
"Mr. Erwin, the company has rules and regulations. However, anyone who wants to join Erwin Technology Company must submit a resume and pass a written examination and interview before employment can be arranged."
Matt, a blind man sitting next to him drinking ice water, suddenly interrupted Leo's words and told Leo about the company's rules and regulations with a stern expression.
Heather quickly pulled Matt to signal him to stop talking nonsense.
Although Matt was suspected of overstepping his authority, Leo could not bring up the thought of being angry.
Who told him to go to Matt to talk about his life ideals whenever he had nothing to do, and tried every means to squeeze a mission out of Matt.
As a result, Matt and Leo are now very familiar with each other, and Leo can't put on the airs of a leader at all.
Matt suddenly interrupted Leo, apparently because he and Peter were not dealing with each other and did not want Peter to join El Technology Company.
But although Leo didn't finish what he said just now, the meaning of his words was already very clear. He had obviously agreed to let Peter join the company.
Now because of Matt's interruption, things suddenly came to a standstill, making Leo quite embarrassed.
Leo secretly decided in his heart that he must find an opportunity in the future to give Matt a beating so that Matt would stop being so arrogant.
At this time, Peter finally got rid of the mouthful of ice water that had choked his trachea, and took two calm breaths to relieve his chest tightness.
Peter didn't want to become an employee of El Technology Company at all. At this time, Matt suddenly rejected Peter, which was contrary to Peter's wishes.
So, Peter struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Mr. Irvine, Mr. Murdoch is right, everything in the company should be in accordance with rules and regulations. Submitting resumes and interviewing are indispensable links.
If you don't look at my resume or do an interview, you won't know what my work ability is like or what position I'm suitable for.
Moreover, I don’t know much about El Technology Company, and I don’t know what I can do if I join, so I don’t want to rush into it.”
Leo suddenly couldn't understand. Does Peter want to join El Technology Company?
If he had wanted to, his trick of playing hard to get was really unnecessary.
If she didn't want to, why did Mary Jane say this?
Not only did Leo not understand, Mary Jane also didn't understand why Peter suddenly said these words.
"Peter, this is a good opportunity for you, don't miss it."
Mary Jane advised Peter in a low voice.
But Peter said nothing, obviously rejecting Mary Jane's kindness.
Mary Jane thought it was Peter who couldn't save face, so she glared at the talkative Matt Murdock next to her angrily.
Leo felt that the atmosphere in the living room was a bit stiff, so he thought about it and started thinking about it.
"Mr. Parker, what you just said is very correct. I am very satisfied with your responsible attitude towards our company and yourself.
It just so happens that El Technology Company's new product launch conference still lacks a presenter. How about you taking on this role?
You can take this opportunity to get familiar with our company, and I can also take this opportunity to evaluate you."
Leo didn't wait for Peter to refuse, then said,
"If you finally feel that El Technology Company is not a good fit for you, you can leave at any time after the new product launch conference.
Moreover, I can pay you a thousand dollars for your work as a promoter for this new product launch, and if you perform well, I can also give you an additional bonus."
Peter could no longer refuse Leo's suggestion this time.
Because Peter really has no savings, or in other words, he is completely broke now.
Coupled with Dr. Octavius's funding problems, Peter was completely cut off from his financial resources. He didn't even have money for next month's rent.
One thousand dollars can indeed solve Peter's urgent need.
Moreover, according to Leo's statement, Peter was free to come and go without any legal restrictions.
In addition, Dr. Octavius has been very irritable recently and has no intention of continuing scientific research. There is no point in Peter going to his laboratory now. It is better to let the doctor calm down alone for two days.
More importantly, Mary Jane was already pushing Peter quietly behind him, obviously trying to get him to accept Leo's proposal.
Peter could no longer refuse Mary Jane's concern, so he said:
"Mr. Erwin, thank you for your trust and understanding. I think I can try this preacher's job.
Moreover, the conditions you offered are so tempting that I simply cannot refuse."
"Happy cooperation! You can come to the company tomorrow and I will arrange a workstation for you.
El Technology's new product launch is tentatively scheduled for next week, so you still have enough time to get familiar with El's 1st generation chips and prepare a presentation.
I very much look forward to your outstanding performance."
Leo shook hands with Peter cordially, and then with Mary Jane who was sitting next to him.
Seeing Mary Jane being sincerely happy for Peter, suddenly, Leo had another plan, which jumped into his mind!
Leo asked in a half-joking tone,
"Miss Jane, it seems that you really care about Peter. Your relationship must be very good?"
"We have known each other since we were children, and we studied together in middle school and university. It is right for us to care about each other."
"Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, maybe they are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
"That's right...well, it was before!"
Mary Jane didn't expect Leo to ask this suddenly, and she was really thinking about Peter now, so she subconsciously replied, and then immediately started to explain, and then she instantly blushed,
"Mr. Erwin, you always do things that are inconsistent with your status. You don't look like a company boss at all."
Mary Jane couldn't help but complain to Leo to relieve her shyness.
Leo replied with a smile:
"I'm not that old, just three or four years older than you, and I have the same interests and hobbies as you.
So don't just think of me as a boss, it would be better to think of me as a friend.
And among friends, don’t they just like to randomly match CPs! I didn’t expect that I guessed it right, haha.”
Peter listened to the conversation between Mary Jane and Leo with a smile on his face.
His purpose of calling Mary Jane was to reconcile with her, and now it seems that his purpose has been achieved.
Leo glanced at Peter, who had a smile on his face, and suddenly said quietly:
"Peter, caring for a woman requires more than just sincerity! You also need to satisfy her materially.
Based on your performance when you visited the company just now, I am very optimistic about your ability. So, you know, El Technology Company welcomes you to join us at any time."
Leo took the initiative to feed himself dog food, not just to be abused.
His real purpose is to try every means to get Peter to join El Technology Company, and then slowly plot the spider silk launcher.
Or you can squeeze some more of Peter's genius mind.
And Leo finally figured out that what Peter really wanted when he agreed to the position of preacher was the reward of one thousand dollars.
Thinking about it this way, Peter is really short of money now.
So, Leo helped Peter figure out some places where he needed to spend money...
