The giant of light in the marvel world
Chapter 32 Pay attention to the bottom line
Jessica agreed so simply and neatly, almost without thinking. I am afraid she is indeed a bit poor. Richard was stunned for a moment before he realized that he hadn't even had time to make an offer.
So this girl isn't afraid that he will charge an astronomical sum that she can't even afford, and she won't be able to pay it back even if she sells herself?
But luckily for her, Richard said that he was a good person and would never do such a thing. If you said you want it to be cheaper, then you have to be cheaper. After all, the girls are so poor that they live in offices. It would not be good to continue to exploit them.
A reporter who had been sitting silently watching next to him whispered in his partner's ear: "What a show, the boss. I wanted Jessica's contact information last week but I still haven't gotten it. As a result, the boss suddenly They actually moved in together immediately after taking action.”
Before he finished speaking, the little reporter felt a cold light hit him, sending chills straight to his bones. He trembled all over and subconsciously raised his head to see his boss looking at him with a strange smile on his lips. His eyes were reminiscent of the teacher who asked you to chat when you failed the exam.
"Vic, is the report you were responsible for about layoffs at the shipyard still unwritten?" he asked with a smile.
The little reporter trembled all over: "Come on, boss, I'm already writing."
"Oh." Richard sneered, "Then before I get off work, I want to see the first draft, send it to my office, and I will check it myself."
The little reporter was crying, but he didn't dare to say "no".
It’s true that misfortune comes from the mouth.
Richard sneered. You kid, you dare to gossip about your boss behind his back. Don’t you know that your boss has a sharp ear?
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Richard was sitting in his office, flipping through last month's financial statements and frowning, when three uniformed police officers came to his office.
After the two police officers came in, they stopped behind. The middle-aged police officer in the lead came up to shake hands with him and say hello. Richard had also met this police officer. His name was George Stacey, the commissioner of the New York Police Department. Richard met him at a banquet. However, more than the New York Police Commissioner, his identity that interests most people should be the father of future Spider-Man’s girlfriend Gwen Stacy.
"Director Stacey." Richard shook hands with him, then turned to ask the secretary to pour water for Mr. Director, and then continued to ask, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"It's for a case." Director Stacey sat down and said, "A few days ago, the 'Green Snake Gang' in Hell's Kitchen was killed by someone. It was simply a massacre, Mr. Li, their entire stronghold They were all turned upside down, and they were so bloody that it was hard to look at them. Although I have been with the New York City authorities for a long time, I have to say that things like this are not very common."
Richard understood that this was what happened. It was reasonable for the police to come to him for questioning. After all, the conflict between their Planet Daily and the Green Snake Gang was not a secret and was witnessed by everyone. The gangsters just came to them to cause trouble the day before, but they were exterminated at noon the next day. So Richard couldn't help but be suspicious from the police's standpoint.
But this time, Richard said it was really not him.
Although he did use his special abilities to solve a lot of troubles for his family, he was very careful every time and never made any mistakes. On the contrary, the matter this time had nothing to do with him, but the police came to his door.
"Oh, that thing was quite scary." Richard nodded, "But everything I know has been published in the newspapers a few days ago. I don't see what else needs to be added."
George Stacy didn't mince words, he said straight to the point: "That's it, there is reliable information that earlier that day, a member of the Green Snake Gang, 'Viper', had brought people to your newspaper office to intimidate and threaten you. That night, their leader 'Viper' also personally went to your restaurant and had some conflicts. So."
"So you want to ask me if I have anything to do with that murder case?"
Director Stacey said nothing, but clearly acquiesced.
Not only did gangsters like Kingpin see that the Daily Planet was not easy to mess with, but many people also saw that the newspaper was in deep trouble, including the New York Police Department. Now, if someone told Director Stacey that Richard Lee, the owner of the newspaper, was actually good at kung fu. He climbed over walls and broke into the Green Snake Gang's stronghold at night and beat them all with his bare hands. He would also believe it.
Richard rubbed his nose: "If you think I am a potential suspect, you can just cross me off the list, because I was too busy to kill people in those days. There are people in this whole building. All can prove that I never left even half a step. If I remember correctly, the day of the incident was Wednesday, right? Stephanie, tell Mr. Director what I was doing at noon on Wednesday?"
"You took a nap for an hour after lunch, and when you got up, you asked me to bring you cheesecake and donuts for dessert." Stephanie said gently.
Richard's expression changed slightly: "Well, later, what will I do after that?"
"Have afternoon tea."
"After that, skip the eating part." Richard felt a little embarrassed on his face. Why is this girl so ignorant? Why does she sound like I only sleep and eat when I'm at work? How bad is it to leave a wrong impression to outsiders?
"Then you were binge-watching The Big Bang Theory," Stephanie continued with a smile.
Richard said with a dark face: "You're fired."
"Oh." Stephanie didn't take it seriously, smiled, and exited the office, "Then call me when you need it."
She knew her boss was like that sometimes. From time to time, he would say that he would fire her, but in fact he was reluctant to fire her.
"Well, from a personal point of view, I really want to believe that you have nothing to do with this matter, Mr. Li." Director Stacey said, "I am also a reader of Planet Daily, and I have also read your article. You know, as the commissioner of the New York Police Department, sometimes I have to come into contact with some parts of this city that ordinary people cannot see. And reading your newspaper, I can clearly feel the difference between you and other media."
He sighed and said: "I know how rare it is - to be able to insist on speaking for truth and justice in such a generation and in such a background. So I always feel that we should be on the same front. I want to believe The Daily Planet indeed has nothing to do with the Green Snake Gang, but I still have something to remind you, Mr. Li."
"Please say."
"People like you and me, we should pay more attention to the bottom line." Director Stacey said seriously, "That is a line that none of us should cross - even if it is for the right purpose."
