"You're fired. You don't have to come to work tomorrow."
This is not because of Richard's whim. In fact, he has already noticed that his cleaner is not very honest. It does not mean that this fat man is a bad person, but he is very narrow-minded and loves to take advantage of people.
The kind of short-sighted and selfish little citizen we often talk about.
Over time, most people in the newspaper office didn't like him very much. Richard, as the boss, naturally noticed these things. But after all, he was just a small cleaner. Sometimes, everyone just ignored him and took advantage of him.
People have time to argue with him.
But today, there happened to be such a guy who was willing to argue with him. This new beautiful female reporter was completely different from her appearance. She was like a walking powder keg. Rudy met him today.
It was a tough fight, and everyone was here to watch. In their hearts, most people were more attracted to this newcomer than to Rudy, who had been working at the newspaper for more than a year.
Someone should have done this a long time ago. Everyone thinks so.
So when the boss directly came forward and said that he wanted to fire this guy, everyone almost came up with the same idea at the same time——
--Cool!
It's really satisfying.
Even the girl who was arguing looked at her new boss unexpectedly. She thought that the boss would probably not help her, a newcomer who had just arrived, to speak for her, but she never expected that the boss would not only help her, but also give it to the fat man as soon as he opened his mouth.
Fried.
Since everyone's job was lost, she felt that there was nothing to be dissatisfied with, so let's just forget about it. So she let go and decided not to pursue it any further.
But Rudy didn't think so anymore. He didn't even care about the pinched red wrist and jumped up in anxiety: "Boss! I really didn't eat this woman's lunch! I swear..."
Richard sneered: "Who asked you if you stole other people's things? I just suddenly want to fire you. Why, do you have any objections?"
Rudy: "..."
"That's it. I've decided to leave the others and finish the manuscripts, right? Bring all the finished manuscripts to me for a look."
As soon as Richard said this, everyone who was joining in the fun quickly dispersed. Anyone who has experienced it knows that it is quite painful to ask the boss to revise the manuscript. Their boss's requirements for the manuscript are so high that they are sky-high.
He will ask you to go back and correct again and again, and correct again and again. He will often ask you to go back and make a lot of corrections. As a result, the next time you come to him for inspection, he will find a bunch of problems that were not found the first time.
The third time, I found the problem that I had not found the first two times...
At this time, you can't help but think - will you die if you say it all at once?
Do you think this is revising your graduation thesis?
Fortunately, the boss usually doesn't review manuscripts. This is usually the work of the editor. I'm afraid that one day he will have a whim and come to the office and say, "Hey, so-and-so, you, that manuscript about so-and-so is for you."
Let me take a look."
What? You said you haven't finished writing it? Why did you put off writing it for so long? You don't want the bonus?
Whenever this happens, everyone else in the office will pause what they are doing and silently pay three seconds of silence to the lucky reporter who was randomly selected, and then feel lucky that it was not me who was selected...
So under Richard's threat, the crowd quickly dispersed. Everyone revised the draft and made phone calls, and the office suddenly became lively again.
Richard finally pointed at the new reporter: "You, come here."
The cleaner was fired because many employees of the newspaper had complained about him, but the matter could not be settled just like that. Although it was not serious, the reporter had resorted to violence. As a boss, he was still more or less
I should say a few words.
The reporter lady came to his office with a calm and calm look on her face, without any awareness of what she had done wrong. She even seemed a little... impatient?
Richard looked up the girl's resume - it had been sent to Richard's office before the newcomer came to report, but he had never bothered to read it.
At this time, he opened his resume and saw the name written in the top column...
"Jessica Jones?" Richard raised his head in surprise, "Are you Jessica Jones?"
The girl blinked her distinctive big black eyes: "Yes, what's wrong? Do you know me?"
Of course I know her. This girl has a comic book TV series named after her. How could Richard not know her?
Richard has watched the American TV series "Jessica Jones", but he hasn't finished it. He doesn't remember the details clearly, but he only remembers that the heroine Jessica Jones is a superhero with super arm strength and super endurance.
Human beings have bad personalities and hot tempers. They are quite beautiful but their living habits are a bit sloppy.
If you look carefully, the reporter does look a lot like Jessica, but she is a few years younger than Richard remembers. But this is reasonable, after all, in the American TV series "Jessica Jones"
The timeline is already several years later.
But if Richard remembered correctly, shouldn't Jessica Jones be a private detective? He remembered that Jessica seemed to have opened some kind of "pseudonym detective agency"? Why did she come to work for him as a reporter?
?
Richard glanced at her resume: "Have you worked in a magazine before?"
"Um."
"Fashion Weekly should be a pretty good magazine." Richard thought thoughtfully, "Why didn't you continue working on it?"
"Because there was a fool there who harassed me every day for three days." Jessica recounted expressionlessly, "I pushed him."
Richard could imagine what a Jessica Jones-standard "push" was like. At worst, the unlucky guy might have to stay in the hospital for a week.
"Uh, okay." Richard continued to flip through the pages, "Then I see that you later worked at a radio station..."Trish Says"? That was a popular show, and that job should be pretty good too.
Bar."
"I'm relatively familiar with the host." Jessica said lightly, "She introduced me."
Richard seemed to remember a little bit now. Tracy Walker, the radio host who hosted the "Tracy Says" program, seemed to be a good sister who grew up with Jessica. She probably worked for the magazine before.
She probably also introduced me to the job.
"Then your treatment at the radio station should be pretty good," Richard said. "Why don't you continue working?"
Jessica Jones' face remained as calm as a lake: "Because there was a fat, stupid sponsor who wanted to take advantage of Trish, so I gave him a lesson."
