Rick and Lawson came to the company early in the morning as usual, and the company held a regular meeting every Monday, and the meeting was chaired by the senior partners in turn, and today was Rick's order, but he had some business last night, so he arrived at the company five minutes late today. Ha

Rick walked briskly to the conference room, and his assistant, Jim Snow. Snow) walked up briskly, "You're late, the meeting has already started." ”

Rick frowned as he took the information Jim handed him, "What did you say?" In the absence of the moderator, the regular meeting is not allowed to be held, because the content of the meeting is in his hands at the moment, which is the report of the company in the past week and the schedule for the next week.

"Marven is already inside." There were so many people around him that Jim really couldn't say more, just a simple sentence, and Rick's mind suddenly went viral.

Rick quickly pushed open the door of the conference room, and then saw that all the senior partners were sitting in their positions, while Marven and Josephson were sitting in the position of the host, talking eloquently, the atmosphere in the conference room was very solemn, and everyone's expressions were a little weird. Rick raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a more relaxed tone, "Am I missing something?"

"Oh, Rick, you finally bow your head slightly and look at Rick from above the frame on the bridge of your nose, which makes Rick feel very uncomfortable, and then all the senior partners turn to look at Rick as well.

Rick chuckled, "When did the rules change?" In fact, Rick already understood what was going on in his mind, it seems that Marven has been prepared and is ready to start taking over the company, but this is at least half a month earlier than Rick expected, could it be that Marven did something behind his back that he ignored? This made Rick's heart tighten.

Marven took off his glasses, "I want to say, when did the rules change?" Marven threw the same question to Rick, regained the initiative, and hinted: I am the real owner of this company, and you are just a wage earner.

Rick looked at his partners, and he noticed that Ron Yimayer didn't show up, absent from the senior partner meeting? It wasn't a wise choice, but Rick felt a little more clear about Lang's recent moves, "I don't know what rules you're talking about. Rick still had a kind smile on his face, but he didn't show up at all in his reply, "But I just know that you haven't been there since you had a meeting three years ago, so the rules have changed a little." ”

Rick is implying that you are the boss, just be the boss behind the scenes, there is no need to come back, there is no place for you here.

But Marven didn't care at all, still smiling, "But no matter what, no one can be late for a meeting." Marven stared straight at Rick with a sly smile, "No one is an exception, no one!" So, Rick, you get out!"

The last sentence is a command sentence and is not negotiable at all. Rick knew that this was the usual method used by the superiors, although he didn't like to use it, he didn't mind using this way to establish his authority, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn to be oppressed in this way today.

Rick realized that the situation was even more dire than he had imagined, and his gaze drifted again, and he immediately changed from Ali to Emmanuel (ari. emmanuel) realized a meaning in his sight, in fact, he should not confront him head-on, and there are other senior partners staying here, and the news can still be shared.

Rick knew that since Marven appeared at the regular meeting on Monday, it meant that he was fully prepared, and how many of the sixteen senior partners in front of him had sided with Marven could not be examined, but there was no doubt that Marven would not be so reckless without being completely sure.

There are a total of eighteen senior partners in the whole company, including Rick and Lang, and now the sixteen senior partners are obediently sitting in the conference room.

Instead of confronting it head-on, Rick obediently exited the office. At least, after this encounter between Rick and Marvin, Rick lost the first move.

Rick returned to the office in a gloomy manner, and the experience of the years told him that although he was very angry and panicked at the moment, he must not let negative emotions dominate his thoughts, or things would only get worse.

Rick has always done a good job of this.

Rick stood in his office and took a few deep breaths, then forced himself to calm down, and then called Jim in, "What's going on in the company lately?" Although Rick knew that it was all a vain question, and if he didn't even notice it, then Jim definitely wouldn't be aware of it, but even so, Rick still asked, and the most important thing was to calm himself down completely and clear his thoughts.

Jim immediately spoke, "Arnold came to the office yesterday to look for you, but you weren't there, and he didn't let me leave a message. Jim, as Rick's assistant, is clear about the recent internal affairs of the company, and he also knows that this day will come sooner or later, so he prepared early, "I thought it was nothing, but today ......"

Arnold a Schwarzenegger! Rick wanted to pound the wall, but he couldn't.

Ever since Marvin poached Eddie and Murphy, Rick has been on high alert, communicating with his actors separately for some time, and calculating the possibility of independence - after all, it is certainly impossible to start a company on his own, without money and no one.

But things still got out of control, and Rick immediately thought of the recent rumors about Julia and Roberts, before Julia said that she wanted to sign with Marvin, and since Rick's contract with Julia had ended, he didn't have any binding power and couldn't convince her at all. But recently, there was news that Julia rejected Marven and was in frequent contact with Jianxin Artist Agency.

Upon learning of this, Rick took action, after all, he and Julia still had a personal relationship, although Julia had completely disappeared from the screen for the past two years - because she had canceled her engagement to Kiefer Sutherland a few days before her wedding, and then to the country singer Lyle. Lovett) eloped, which was a sensation, and then she disappeared for nearly two years; But during this time, Rick and Julia have been in touch, and the two can be regarded as friends.

If one of the few top actresses like Julia can be brought into the account, whether it is staying in the International Sword New Management Company or standing on her own, it will make Rick more confident. So, Rick has been busy with this for the past few years.

But now it seems that this is a trap, because the progress between Rick and Julia is not much, and on the contrary, Marven is still causing some turmoil under his nose. And, Arnold seems to have made a decision as well.

Rick couldn't help but rub his temples, "After Arnold left here, how many floors did he go to?"

Jim shook his head, "He just left." That's why he didn't specifically sue Sùrick, because there were no obvious signs, and everything looked very normal.

Rick thought for a moment, went back to his desk, dialed Arnold's phone, only to turn it off, and he thought for a moment, "You call his assistant, I'll call the manager." The two of them were busy again, and the result was naturally in vain. It is now certain that Marven should have taken advantage of Rick's persuasion of Julia to bring Arnold under his tent, or there were other more moves, completed the final preparations for the seizure of power, and then officially launched it today. It's just that I don't know how many of the sixteen senior partners who are currently staying in the conference room have already stood on Marven's side.

Just then, the phone outside Rick's office rang, it was Jim's assistant's phone, Jim ran out to answer the phone, and then ran back with an ugly face, "Marven told you to go upstairs." Marven's office is on the twenty-fourth floor, one floor higher than their senior partners.

Rick's face suddenly became ugly, although he was already dark-skinned, which made people unable to see the clues, but the confusion in his eyes revealed his feelings at the moment, "No, let him come down." You sue him, no one in this company can sue me, where should I go, no one. ”

Rick spoke mildly, as if to say, "Let's go have coffee," but the categorical nature of his words was chilling, and Jim knew that Rick was now annoyed, not only at Marvin's plot behind it, but also at his own negligence.

Jim didn't quibble anymore, he had been with Rick for many years and knew Rick's temper, so he turned around and walked out, dialed Marven's internal line with his office phone, and then walked in again, "Marven wants to talk to you." ”

Rick's brows were still furrowed, but he was a little relaxed at the moment, if Marven still wanted to talk to him at this time, it meant that things had not yet reached the decisive juncture, and maybe he was not too far behind. Then the phone rang, and Rick paused before pressing the speakerphone, "Hello, Marven." ”

"Rick, go upstairs." Marven didn't plan to go around in circles at all, and said directly.

Rick pursed the corners of his lips, "Things in the conference room aren't that simple. ”

In fact, what Rick said was that Marven would preside over the meeting in the conference room today, and things were not that simple, but Marven pretended not to hear, "Rules are always rules." "He's talking late." I apologize. ”

Rick shook his head slightly, knowing that it was a tough fight, but his mouth said, "It's not a big deal." ”

"Now you come up." Marven gave the order again.

"No, you come down!" Rick didn't back down, blurting out almost without thinking.

Marven let out a long breath and finally said, "Conference room, neutral zone, 2:15?"

Rick glanced at the alarm clock, and it was now one o'clock, "No, one thirty o'clock." "He's got to cut through the mess quickly or he'll be too far behind.
