Manhattan Reborn 1978

Queens, R&D center building.

Polly was chatting about today's job fair with Ben Whitcott, who had just arrived.

She is planning to hold a three-day job fair here to recruit enough talents for the da group company, data research center and R&D center.

Alicia and Professor Nash also helped call all the classmates, colleagues, and friends they could reach, asking these people to help contact more outstanding talents who needed jobs to participate in this job fair.

Ben Whitcott, as one of the talents that Polly recruited into the company, is now very much used by Polly.

Of course, his own working ability has also been fully recognized by everyone in the company.

These days, after David knew that Ben Whitcott could bring more help to Polly's work, he never mentioned letting Ben go back to be his assistant.

Um. .

He is still considering whether to find a new work assistant!

After Polly explained the corresponding work matters to Ben Whitcott, she said hello to Alicia and drove back to the company.

Ben, commanded several people to set up several tables in a room in the small building, as well as all the office furniture and equipment.

The recruitment work of da group company started.

For recruitment in the data center, Professor Nash is responsible for considering the knowledge and abilities of the candidates. Polly arranged for other people to be responsible for cooperating with Professor Nash's recruitment work.

Outside the small building.

The work of distributing lunches has ended. Some workers are tidying up the site, cleaning up garbage, loading some things to be taken away into cars, and preparing to leave.

On both sides of the street, from time to time there are some applicants who have just arrived after receiving the news.

They found a familiar friend and asked about the details of today's job fair. They walked to the small building to get the queue number, found a place on the street, and started chatting with three or two friends with peace of mind.

"Where did you rent this outfit? How much did it cost?"

"Where do you live now?"

"How long have you been unemployed?"

"Have you never found a job?"

"Have you had lunch?"

"what?"

"You didn't eat anything this morning?"

"Oh, you're late! Someone was here giving out free lunch just now! It tastes pretty good!"

"Well, there will be a job fair tomorrow. The people here just said that including today, there will be a job fair for three days in total."

"Okay, if it's not our turn today, we'll come earlier tomorrow."

"Um...that person just didn't say there would be no breakfast tomorrow."

"Yes, lunch should still be distributed for free tomorrow."

"What, you... Are you sure you can survive until lunch is delivered tomorrow? Your body... It turns out you are already so thin~"

"fxxx! Don't mention the last company I worked for. The bastard boss filed for bankruptcy and we didn't get a penny!"

"Oh? Your company also went bankrupt? Then you..."

"Well, it seems that our experiences are similar. I still have a few knives here. You'd better take them and buy something to eat, otherwise I'm afraid I won't see you tomorrow morning!"

"Well... I don't mean anything else, I just want you to..."

"okok~ Look there is a shop on the corner over there. Go buy some food!"

. . . .

A skinny young man in a suit and shiny leather shoes walked into the shop on the corner with his head lowered, carrying a briefcase and holding a few knives that his friend had just given him.

----

Not far from the corner shop.

A police car slowly stopped on the street.

A police officer who was driving, after turning off the car, got out of the car, looked around, and signaled to his partner.

"Is this...a job fair for company Da?"

"Well...it seems so. Didn't you see the slogans and banners in those people's hands?"

"Okay, it seems we are in the right place. What did the damn commander say?"

The partner hugged his shoulders and sat on the hood of the front of the car: "Let us help keep an eye on it. Don't make any trouble here. If there is anyone who wants to cause trouble, arrest it first and ask questions later!"

"fxxx!"

"We are his xx's police! Not his xx's nannies!"

"Hey, man! Don't be so angry, this is such a great job!"

"You don't have to run around, you don't have to look at other people's faces."

"We just need to sit here and keep an eye on these young people who are applying for jobs so that nothing happens to them. When it's time to get off work, we can go find a place to have a drink~"

"Look, buddy, this is a good job I asked for for both of us! Don't be dissatisfied!"

"Do you still want to struggle in the stagnant water like yesterday to save those bastards and idiots who called the police and were about to be drowned or trapped to death?"

"Sxxt! Don't ever say this again!"

"When I came home last night, my wife didn't even let me go to bed. My whole body was covered in that weird garbage smell that couldn't be washed away no matter how hard I washed it!"

"Haha~ I asked you why you kept smoking in the car just now."

"So you want to cover up those weird smells on your body!~"

"Okay buddy, do you want coffee? I'll bring you a cup~"

"Of course, give me a drink with sugar and milk. I'll treat you next time!"

"Okay~ Just keep an eye on it, I'll be right back!"

----

In an advertising agency.

David put down Pine's phone, sat on the sofa, drank Coke, and thought about the conversation between the two of them just now.

Laura left, what did it mean to ask him to talk to Lilith? ?

This matter probably wasn't Pine's idea.

Is it Panaris?

Or Elder?

Emm. .

Just in time, I can go meet Lilith and talk about the medical center.

"Clang clang clang~"

There was a knock on the door.

Peggy and Joan walked into the office.

After the two sat down, Peggy glanced at the information scattered on the small table: "How is it? Is there anything else we can help with?"

David straightened his sitting posture and looked at the two of them: "I already have some ideas about the advertising bidding of these two Coke companies."

"We still have time. I have contacted my friend just now. I will give you news after I meet and chat with him in a few days."

"You should work on other advertising projects these days."

After saying that, David picked up the Coke bottle in front of him and drank it, stood up, and was about to leave, going to Stanley first.

Peggy and Joan also stood up. Peggy took out a business card from her pocket and smiled: "Okay, my number here and my home number are both on it. I'm always waiting for your call!"

"Ok!"

David took the business card, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket.

"Qiong, you guys talk first, I have something to leave beforehand! Goodbye!"

The middle-aged beauty Joan took a half-step forward politely, smiled, nodded, and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Coleman!"

"Bye Peggy!"

"goodbye!"

David walked out of the office and found Black Mike, and the two took the elevator and left the advertising company.

Peggy and Joan sent them to the door of the company, watched them enter the elevator, and accompanied them back to Peggy's office.

Joan walked to the sofa next to the small table and sat down, tilting her head and looking at Peggy who was sorting documents.

"You... gave David that business card just now because of work?"

Peggy rolled her eyes at her friend and kept moving her hands: "Of course, what else?"

Qiong leaned back, crossed her legs, and said with a playful smile on her face: "As long as you know what you are doing, Peggy!"

Peggy also smiled and stopped sorting, and picked up the remaining open bottle of Coke on the small table: "We were at the entrance of the company just now, did you notice the way the little girl at the front desk looked at David? ?”

Qiong really didn't pay attention to this: "What? She..."

"Yes, if I were the same age as her, I would definitely hold onto David tightly the first time I saw him."

Qiong tilted her head and thought for a while: "It seems that we have talked about these words together?"

Peggy took the Coke, drank half the bottle in one go, and said, "Yes, we talked about this the last time we met."

"You hadn't met David at that time, and you thought I was being a nymphomaniac and had some thoughts about this young boss."

"I am a woman who already has a husband and a child. How could I make such a mistake because of David?"

Joan smiled and looked at Peggy quietly without speaking.

Of course she knew that Peggy was married and had a lovely child.

But Peggy is saying this now. .Are you feeling guilty? ．

It's still her. .Any other purpose?

Peggy felt the probing look in her friend's eyes.

She raised her hands helplessly, expressing surrender: "Okay, I still have ideas."

"But it's not what you think!"

"As you know, Norris and I jointly manage and operate Da Announcement Company. When we applied for the job, David also gave us a test."

Joan's reaction was very quick: "But when David came just now, Norris never showed up. Is it because of you...?"

"Well, he went to talk about Tiffany Jewelry's latest advertisement for next year."

"Tiffany?"

"You mean you two have already divided your clients?"

"Yes, there are many competitors for Tiffany's latest advertisement that Norris is going to talk about. I don't have the confidence in my own abilities."

Qiong crossed his arms and frowned slightly: "But the Coke Company's advertising competition is also very fierce!"

"Are you confident about getting this Coke advertisement?"

Peggy shrugged very bachelorly: "No!"

"Then... why don't you do a Tiffany and Coke commercial with Norris?"

"Yes... because of the test given by David?"

Peggy nodded, then shook her head: "Yes, and no!"

"Actually, Norris and I have talked about it. If we separate like this now, we can each go to David for help separately."

"If both of them succeed, then everyone will be happy."

"If he and I both fail, then we can start over together and find other customers."

Qiong continued: "But if one succeeds and the other fails, then the one who failed will lose the first game. It will be very difficult to catch up later, right?"

"Clap~"

Peggy snapped her fingers: "That's right!"

Qiong's right index finger tapped lightly on her arm, and a thought flashed through her mind, as if she had figured something out.

"What you said when you met David just now, and how you dragged me out later, were all for getting Coke ads."

"Because you know, your boss David has a very good relationship with the Morgan family."

"The Morgan family holds shares in two Coke companies. If David seeks their help, it will be a huge help for you to get Coke ads!"

Peggy did not deny it, and nodded cheerfully and continued: "David's relationship is only one aspect. Of course, our advertising plan must be beautiful and make people speechless."

"This way, I can hope to win, Joan!"

Joan pursed her lips and looked at the smiling Peggy seriously: "Then...you asked me to meet David today, and you also asked me..."

Peggy smiled evilly and sat next to Joan, put her arm around her shoulders, and said in her ear: "I know, you are still single."

"Besides... you haven't had a boyfriend for a long time, haven't you?"

Joan tilted her head, squinting at her friend Peggy who was in front of her, and whispered: "fxxx-you! Peggy!"

"You're such a fucking bastard!"

"Hahaha~"

Peggy put her head on Joan's shoulder and laughed loudly.

Joan was also made to laugh.

Yes, she has been busy working in the past few years, struggling to support her small studio.

already. .I haven’t had a boyfriend for a long time. .

-------

Downstairs of the advertising agency.

David and Black Mike walked out of the building and saw White Mike, Lavis, and Giovanni smoking cigarettes and chatting next to two cars.

David walked towards them with a smile, looked at his watch and said: "Let's go to the Wildfire Bar first to see how Old Red is doing. By the way, you can also go and see how the apartment you are going to live in is decorated. "

"If you have any ideas of your own regarding decoration, you can tell the decoration workers. It's probably not too late now."

Everyone smiled and nodded and got into the car.

Mike Bai was in the driver's seat and adjusted the rearview mirror: "What then? David, do you have anything else to do tonight?"

David, who was sitting behind him, raised his hand and scratched his hair: "I have to go to Stanley to talk to Lilith. What's wrong? Are you busy?"

Mike Bai started the car and said while driving: "No, it's Giovanni. He wants to invite us to have dinner together tonight to express his gratitude."

"Thank you?" David turned his head and glanced at Lavis and Giovanni in the car behind.

"Their family of three are still living in the hotel, right? Why did they think of inviting them to dinner?"

Black Mike, the co-pilot, turned around with a smile and said, "Just now, White Mike, Ravis, and I gave Giovanni 200 dollars, which is regarded as a sponsorship for him."

"After sending you to Stanley later, I want him to go back and arrange for his wife and children first, and find a better place for them to live."

Forehead. . .

"Well!"

David fumbled in his pocket for a while and found that he didn't bring his checkbook when he went out today.

Emmm. .

He said helplessly to the two people sitting in front: "I didn't bring a checkbook. Which of you will pay for tonight's meal first, and I will pay it back to you when I get back."

Mike Bai glanced at David in the rearview mirror with a headache: "Boss, all the money in our pockets was given to Giovanni just now. I only have a few knives in my pocket now."

"Do you want it? I'll lend it to you!"

David rolled his eyes and kicked the driver's seat in front of him.

Black Mike shook his head and said with a smile: "We can find another restaurant, and then use the excuse of trying dishes for the upcoming food show to ask the restaurant manager to waive our order."

"When the time comes, the chefs in their restaurant will prepare all their specialty dishes to entertain us just like they did yesterday!"

After hearing what Black Mike said, White Mike felt that it made sense.

Then he said: "I know a restaurant. They serve very good French food. Ludy and I have eaten there before."

"The French food in that restaurant is extremely expensive! And they dare to ask for $600 for a bottle of red wine!"

"Man! That's $600!"

"fxxx! Why didn't he rob the bank?"

"No, they make more money selling wine than robbing banks!"

The more Mike Bai talked, the more excited he became. He slapped the steering wheel, cursed that French restaurant, and shouted that everyone should go to that French restaurant tonight for a meal!

Then I ordered a bottle of red wine costing 600 dollars and gave the restaurant manager a good fuck!

David was a little troubled by the shameless energy of the two Mikes.

Where did they learn this?

"fxxx-you!"

"You two bastards!"

"Don't even think about going to eat the King's meal again!"

"Are you shameless?"

Mike Bai glanced at David in the rearview mirror: "Face? What is that? Is a bottle of red wine expensive?"

"Hahahaha~"

Black Mike was so teased that he slapped his thigh and laughed~

David's face turned red. .

These shameless guys. .

It’s just about face. . .

Sometimes, it’s really not as expensive as that bottle of red wine that costs $600. .

The three of them laughed for a while, and David looked at the street scene outside the car window and thought for a while.

"Then... let's not go to the Wildfire Bar now. Turn right at the intersection ahead and go to Stanley first. I'll go find Lilith first."

"Mike Bai, please help me go back to the apartment to get the checkbook later."

"Ask Lavis to accompany Giovanni back first and help him move."

"Giovanni must have been in a hurry when he left home yesterday. They wouldn't have brought much with them."

"I will write him another check later and ask his wife to go to the store to buy some new clothes tomorrow. I will not need the old ones or those that have been soaked in water."

"Ok!"

The two Mikes looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Black Mike looked sideways out of the car window with a smile on his lips.

Mike Bai slowed down the car and turned right in advance at the intersection, signaling for the cars behind him to follow.

After seeing Mike Bai's turn signal, Ravis behind him flashed his headlights and turned right.

After spending some time together, they already have some tacit understanding of silent cooperation.

ten minutes later.

Two cars pulled up in front of the Stanley Building.

Black Mike accompanies David out of the car and prepares to go inside.

Mike Bai got out of the car and asked David: "Then... should we go to that French restaurant to eat tonight? If we want to go, you need to book a seat there in advance!"

David silently gave Mike Bai a middle finger: "Don't you know how much money I have in my pocket?"

"If all of us go there to have a meal, I'll be broke! You bastard~"

Mike Bai curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You talk about tens or millions of dollars in business this day, but you don't have ten thousand dollars in your pocket."

"Tsk~ Are you still the big boss?~!"

"Cut~"

David covered his face with his hands, rubbed it vigorously, and gave Mike Bai a double middle finger.

"Come on! Look at my gesture: fxxx-you, bastard!~"

Black Mike cheerfully gave White Mike a thumbs up~

"Let's go to that restaurant in Chinatown to eat tonight. Their food tastes very good."

"Chinatown?"

David waved his hand to Mike White: "Okay, let's go to Brother Biao's place for a good meal that night. Mike Black will go upstairs and give him a call later to tell him."

"You bastard! Disappear right before my eyes!"

"Yes, boss!"

Amid Mike Bai's grinning teasing, David and David strode into the Stanley Building.

Lavis and Giovanni, who got off the car behind, looked at this scene and didn't understand what was going on between the three of them.

Mike Bai smiled and told the two silly boys about tonight's arrangements.

After listening, Giovanni touched the rice knife in his pocket and looked at Mike Bai and Ravis.

"Then Lavis and I will go back now. We will come back as soon as possible."

Mike Bai turned around, took out a cigarette from the dashboard of the car, handed it to both of them, and lit it.

"You know the Marseille restaurant we went to this morning, right?"

Giovanni nodded.

"There is an apartment for rent upstairs. Later you go to the restaurant and look for Marseille. He will tell you which one it is."

"The apartments there are not expensive, the rooms are adequate, and the decoration and supporting environment are definitely better than your home in Brooklyn."

"And it's very close to David's apartment!"

"Do you know what I mean?"

Giovanni was just young and a little scared, but he was not stupid at all.

"Understood! I will go to Marseille first and rent that apartment. I will live there until David moves."

Lavis was on the side, smiling and hugging Giovanni's somewhat stiff shoulders.

"Don't worry, I have already discussed it with Black Mike. Starting today, I will move to live with him. If there is a vacant apartment in their building, I will live there in the future."

"Wait a minute, you come and drive, drop me off at the Marseille restaurant, I will help you look at the apartment, and you can drive to pick up your wife and children to come to me. This will save a lot of time."

"After we finish dinner in the evening, you have to help me pack my luggage and move~ Man!"

"No problem!" Giovanni smiled and nodded.

After a few minutes.

Mike Bai looked at Lavis and his car in the distance, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stamped it out.

He stood there and looked around carefully, then got in the car, started it, and drove towards David's apartment.

----

da security company, New Jersey training base.

Lawrence emerged from his new office.

A few days ago, Polly arranged for her husband's construction company to come and renovate the old house on the original farm at the training base.

Then we measured the overall plot of land in the base, made a design plan, and prepared to add some dormitories and commonly used buildings so that the base could accommodate more soldiers.

just now.

Some construction machinery is working overtime to tidy up the land and lay the foundation.

More than half of the entire training base has become a construction site.

A large group of construction workers were busy all the time with smiles on their faces.

For the money, Polly wrote a check very proudly and handed it to her husband every penny. .

Man, after the money was received, Polly and her husband patted their chests and promised that they would find the most diligent and capable workers to complete all construction and projects as quickly as possible, and ensure that they would achieve the best project quality.

Lawrence held his hands behind his back and walked with figure-eight steps on the edge of the construction site where the mud and water were swirling.

The overtime wages of these construction workers are more than those of soldiers carrying guns and risking their lives.

Lawrence squinted his eyes and looked at the busy construction machinery in the distance.

I sighed in my heart: "Money is really a good thing!"

That bastard Cohen, using the task David gave him, left this mess behind and went to Miami to live life.

Lawrence, the manager who had just taken over the work of the base, could only bite the bullet and be tortured by the roar of these construction machinery every night, unable to sleep. .

The good news is that Lawrence isn't the only one being devastated. .

The soldiers here also couldn't sleep with the roar every night. .

Um. .

There was another person who couldn't sleep, Alto.

Thinking of him, Lawrence glanced at the busy construction site, turned and walked towards a military tent in the distance.
