Chapter 15: I really don't want to cause trouble
Richard seems to finally understand why people like Jessica need to change jobs so often.
In fact, when I first watched American dramas, Richard felt a little strange. Not to mention that Jessica Jones has the ability to lift a truck with her bare hands, and aside from the ability, she is also the best private investigator in Hell's Kitchen. Even if she only relies on her detective literacy and investigative ability, she should have a head and a face, right?
But this is not the case. Jessica Jones in the American drama belongs to the kind of difficult family who needs to eat subsistence, and due to lack of funds, her detective agency has to open in her living room. And even then, she sometimes had to pay her rent.
Richard once thought that with her ability, it should not be so miserable to find something to do in any big office. Now he finally seems to have a reason for it.
At the end, Richard said unexpectedly: "Huh? You've also worked in the Daily Bugle? ”
He was still impressed by the Clarion Daily, wasn't that the exclusive newspaper of Spider-Man, Marvel's beloved and friendly neighbor? The little spider often plays with selfies and then sells the photos to the Clarion Daily to make extra money?
And the most impressive thing in the Clarion Daily is, of course, the newspaper owner J. Jonah Jameson, who is notoriously slamming and short-tempered, and loves to pick on the thorns of his own employees at both ends in three days, often scolding for trivial things, whenever he launches the signature "Hedong Lion Roar", which can be heard in the buildings near the Horn Daily......
When such a boss hits an employee like Jessica Jones, it feels like a firecracker hitting a powder keg, and it's exciting to think about.
Sure enough, Jessica continued to say nonethelessly: "I had a fight with the boss and crushed his teacup with my bare hands, so I was fired." ”
Her description was succinct and clear, but Richard could have imagined from these few simple words, and the excitement of the scene at the time was certainly not as simple as she had made it lightly.
The thought of J.J. Jameson choking on Jessica and not daring to have a seizure made Richard's heart feel happy. When he watched the Spider-Man movie, he was very unhappy with this character, and after the crossing, he met with this Mr. Jameson by chance, and there was a little verbal friction, which deepened this 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?" Jessica asked, but she didn't seem nervous or worried at all, as if there was nothing unusual about "being fired on the first day of work".
Richard glanced at her.
"Oh?" He asked rhetorically, "Do you think you made a mistake that deserved to be fired?" ”
"I don't think so." Jessica said bluntly, "That fat man deserves it, someone should have come out to teach him a lesson." ”
"In that case, why do you feel like you're going to be fired?"
Jessica hesitated.
"Because it's been like this every time before." "Tracy introduced me to a new job, and then some idiots always came to me for the stubble," she said. Then when things are better I'll have a big fight with someone, and when it's worse I'll give someone a fat beating......" she shrugged, "...... Anyway, the ending is the same. ”
"Or," Richard said, closing her resume and crossing her fingers, "you should learn to control your temper." ”
Jessica shrugged: "Tried, it didn't work." Sometimes the faces of those bad guys always like to come up to my fist and dangle like a magnet, I can't help it. ”
Richard shook his head: "I don't need any commitment, I just need an attitude." I just have to hear you tell me that you are willing to work hard for this, that you are willing to try to be better, and that is enough. Tell me, can you do it? If you can guarantee that, I'll allow you to stay. You don't want to lose that job again, do you? ”
Jessica hesitated for a moment and began to think.
Although it seems that changing jobs more often than changing clothes for her (Jessica dresses up all year round in the show), so that she is numb to being fired, of course she still doesn't want to be fired if she can.
If nothing else, every time she gets fired, her good sister Tracy has to contact other connections around to see if any other units are willing to take Jessica in. This made Jessica feel bad, and she felt like she was a burden to Tracy.
Moreover, today is the first day she has been assigned to her new unit. She was fired on her first day on the job, which was a new record even for Jessica Jones, and she was really embarrassed to face Tracy when she returned.
So she nodded.
"I'll do my best to keep it under control." She said seriously.
"Okay, then there's nothing else you can do and you can go back to work." Richard paused, "But your bonus this month is gone." ”
Jessica: "......"
And so the future superhero Jessica Jones — who knows if she'll be a superhero in the end — stayed. To be honest, Richard still likes Jessica, not to mention that her investigation ability is superb, and the most important thing is that she also has not weak combat effectiveness and self-protection ability, which is more reassuring in comparison.
After today, rookie reporter Jessica Jones also has a nickname in private in the Daily Planet-
- "Can't be provoked".
......
A few days later, early in the morning, several fancy painted sports cars pulled up under the main building of the daily planet. A large group of gangsters with colorful killer Matt's head and non-mainstream clothes came out one after another. Their leader was dressed in a human-like appearance, with muscles that looked like they were about to explode hidden under a gray and black casual suit. Wearing a gold chain and a cigar in his mouth, he walked into the Planet Daily building with his steps as if he were about to ascend to heaven, and he almost had the word "earth" printed on his face.
A group of people broke into the newspaper hall like devils entering the village, and they were so aggressive that all the people who were originally in their route subconsciously made way for them. When the team arrogantly drove to the elevator door, the passers-by who were originally going to take the elevator were playfully aside.
If you can't afford to provoke it, let's take another trip.
However, not everyone is so interesting.
A thug rushed into the elevator arrogantly, and suddenly found that such a beautiful woman wearing a leather jacket and a scarf was also inside. All the thugs couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this woman stood alone in the middle of more than a dozen of them, and she didn't panic at all, and her courage was admirable.
If they usually catch such a rare beauty, they will definitely have to flirt lightly. But not today, they came here today to do something important.
So one of the thugs grabbed the woman's wrist and said viciously: "Get out of here, we've covered this elevator." ”
Jessica Jones lowered her head and looked at the thug who was clutching her wrist, and couldn't help but feel melancholy......
...... I really don't want to cause trouble! But it always likes to mess with me!
