Richard seemed to finally understand why people like Jessica needed to change jobs so frequently.
In fact, Richard felt a little strange when he first watched the American TV series. Not to mention that Jessica Jones has the ability to lift a truck with her bare hands. Putting aside the supernatural part, she is also the best private person in Hell's Kitchen.
Detective. Even if she only relies on her detective qualities and investigative abilities, she should be able to do so with dignity, right?
But this is not the case. Jessica Jones in the American TV series belongs to the kind of poor family who need to live on subsistence allowances. Due to lack of funds, she had to open her detective agency in her living room. Even so, she often had to default on her arrears.
rent.
Richard once thought that with her ability, she wouldn't be so miserable if she could just find a job in any big firm. Now he seemed to finally have some idea of the reason.
Turning to the end, Richard said unexpectedly: "Huh? Have you ever worked at the Daily Bugle?"
He was still impressed by the Daily Bugle. Isn't that the exclusive newspaper office of Spider-Man, the friendly neighbor of everyone in Marvel? The little spider often takes selfies and sells the photos to the Daily Bugle to make extra money?
Of course, the one who impressed him the most in the Daily Bugle was the newspaper owner J. Jonah Jameson. He was notoriously stingy and had a bad temper. He loved to find fault with his own employees every day, and often fought over chicken skin.
He cursed at trivial matters, and whenever he launched his signature "Hedong Lion's Roar", it was said that it could be heard in the buildings near the Bugle Daily...
When a boss like this hits an employee like Jessica Jones, it feels like a firecracker hitting a powder keg. It's exciting just thinking about it.
Sure enough, Jessica continued to say calmly: "I had a fight with my boss and crushed his tea cup with my bare hands, so I was fired."
Her description was concise and clear, but with just these few words, Richard could imagine that the excitement of the scene at that time was definitely not as simple as her understatement.
When he thought of J. Jonah Jameson being choked by Jessica and unable to speak, Richard felt happy. When he saw the Spider-Man movie back then, he was very unhappy with this character.
After traveling through time, he met Mr. Jameson by chance. A slight verbal friction only deepened the bad impression.
Thinking of this, he seemed to suddenly feel that Jessica looked more pleasing to the eye!
"So, I'm going to be fired again now?" Although Jessica asked, she didn't sound nervous or worried at all, as if "getting fired on the first day of work" was nothing unusual.
.
Richard glanced at her.
"Oh?" he asked, "do you think you made a mistake that warrants being fired?"
"I don't think so." Jessica said stiffly, "The fat man deserves it. Someone should have come out to teach him a lesson."
"If that's the case, why do you think you're going to be fired?"
Jessica hesitated.
"Because it was like this every time," she said. "Tracy would introduce me to a new job, and then some idiot would come and pick a fight with me. And then when things were better, I'd have a big fight with someone,
At worst, I'll give someone a good beating..." She shrugged, "...the end result is the same anyway."
"Or," Richard closed her resume and crossed his fingers, "you should learn to control your temper."
Jessica shrugged: "I've tried it, but it doesn't work. Sometimes the faces of those bad guys always like to dangle in front of my fist, like a magnet. I can't help it."
Richard shook his head: "I don't need any promises, I just need an attitude. I just need to hear you tell me that you are willing to work hard for this and that you are willing to try to become better. That is enough.
Tell me, can you do it? If you can guarantee this, I will allow you to stay. You don’t want to lose this job again, right?”
Jessica hesitated and started to think.
Although she seems to change jobs more frequently than she changes clothes (Jessica is always dressed like that in the play), so that she has become numb to the matter of being fired, but of course she still doesn't want to if she can
Fired.
Apart from anything else, every time she was fired, her good sister Trish had to contact other connections to see if any other units were willing to take Jessica in. This made Jessica feel very bad, she felt
It's like he has become a burden to Tracy.
Moreover, today was the first day she was assigned to the new unit. She was fired on the first day of work. Even for Jessica Jones, this was a new record. She was really embarrassed to face Cui when she returned.
West.
So she nodded.
"I will try my best to control it." She said seriously.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back to work." Richard paused, "But your bonus for this month is gone."
Jessica: "..."
So the future superhero Jessica Jones - God knows whether she will become a superhero in the end - just stayed. To be honest, Richard is quite fond of Jessica. Not to mention her superb investigative ability, the most important thing is
What's more, she also has strong fighting power and self-protection ability, which is more reassuring in comparison.
After today, new reporter Jessica Jones also had a nickname privately within the Daily Planet——
——"Can't afford to offend".
...
A few days later, early in the morning, several garishly painted sports cars parked under the main building of Daily Planet. A large group of gangsters with colorful hair styles and unconventional clothing emerged one after another. They
The leader was dressed like a human, with muscles that looked like they were going to explode hidden under a gray and black casual suit. He was wearing a gold chain and had a cigar in his mouth. When he walked into the Daily Planet building, his steps were as if he was going to explode.
God, I just didn’t have the word “Tu” printed on my face.
A group of people broke into the newspaper lobby like devils entering a village. They were so fierce that all the people who were originally on their route subconsciously gave way to them. When this team drove arrogantly to the elevator door, those who were originally planning to take the elevator
Passers-by stepped aside knowingly.
If you can't afford to offend, we'd better take the next trip.
However, not everyone is so knowledgeable.
A group of gangsters rushed into the elevator arrogantly, and suddenly found that there was such a beautiful woman wearing a leather jacket and a scarf. The gangsters couldn't help but be secretly surprised. This woman was standing alone among more than ten of them, and she didn't show any signs of it.
There was no panic at all, and their courage was admirable.
If they usually caught such a rare beauty, they would definitely have to flirt with her. But not today. They had important things to do here today.
So one of the thugs grabbed the woman's wrist and said viciously: "Get out of here, we've booked this elevator."
Jessica Jones lowered her head, glanced at the gangster grabbing her wrist, and couldn't help feeling melancholy...
...I really don’t want to cause trouble! But it always likes to mess with me!
