Chapter 1048: Fame and Fortune Temptation (For the helmsman, I am an upstart, who am I afraid of)
"Joyce, as a journalist, should always be clear about where you stand, and not waver in any way, and I thought you could do that. β
"Now it seems that I overestimated you, so our deal was cancelled, and from today, you will no longer receive my help, good luck. β
Li Zitao was not prepared to do anything to her, provided that this matter ended here.
Ending the cooperation means that the information he provided before can no longer be used, and someone will pay for the abuse.
Joyce couldn't afford that price, and so did the New York Times behind her, there's no doubt about that.
"Mr. Leeβ" Joyce got up to try to hold back, and by the look on her face and the rolling of her eyes, her brain was spinning rapidly, looking for a plausible explanation or excuse.
But Li Zitao didn't plan to give her hope, and left the fast food restaurant without hesitation.
This is the end of the deal between them, and the decision made before is nothing more than a whim, and if the other party is obedient, it may be kept forever.
Since there is no trust, there is no need to continue, and it is up to her to work her own.
She's made enough money on this deal, and it's shameful to be insatiable.
But in fact, everyone has an insatiable side, it just depends on whether they are discovered and controlled.
Joyce sucks in this regard, and her self-control is as hopelessly incorrigible as greed.
So, after leaving the fast-food restaurant and returning to her apartment, getting drunk and waking up again, she left the events of last night behind.
The New York Times news was still hot, and after discovering that Hualian seemed to be doing nothing, some newspapers began to quote their reports.
But before they could enjoy their success, the lawyer's letter fluttered like snowflakes into the desk in the editor-in-chief's office, piling up without leaving any gaps.
The New York Times has collected a lot of data, and the report on Hualian seems to be very real.
But in fact, the information they are talking about is nothing more than some kind of 'speculation and inference,' and there is no direct evidence that the North American Hualian is carrying out a deliberate and targeted layoff plan.
All the data shows that Hualian's sales in North America have fallen off a cliff, and the loss of consumables and inventory has skyrocketed, reaching an astonishing peak in just a few years.
All of this proves that the layoffs are justified, and they do not choose to be held accountable, but only need to replace a new group of employees who are responsible and willing to work hard.
Judging from the recruitment situation, Hualian has no targeted tendencies, and whites and minorities can get job opportunities, as long as he performs well enough.
Soldiers have also been given preferential treatment for hiring, and each store will even recruit a disabled veteran, which greatly alleviates the pressure on the army and social conflicts.
You must know that these guys who have been devastated on the battlefield, initiating madness is the most troublesome character.
They should not be easily provoked, nor should they be detained and detained like prisoners, and they should always be aware of the government's image and how they are handled.
One carelessness may cause misunderstanding among the military... Actually, it's nothing.
But if the veterans are allowed to rebel together, it will no longer be a minor problem, but a terrible disaster like an avalanche.
Interestingly, all of Lee's industries maintain good relations with the military, and Hualian's recruitment is a friendly signal.
Military personnel are preferred, as long as they are not guys with clear psychological problems, and the success rate of applying for the job is 100%, this is already the best answer.
Perhaps that's what makes the New York Times' follow-up stories weak, because they have never been able to prove anything.
However, the North American Hualian is telling everyone with actions that they just want to be better and provide objective remuneration and due treatment for those who are willing to work hard.
It's just that everyone is curious why the New York Times hasn't been in trouble, which seems a little incredible.
But inside the newspaper office, several unfamiliar figures appeared for several days one after another, and some people saw the big boss slamming the door and leaving in anger, and the undercurrent surging made people feel uneasy.
"Charlie, what are you going to do today?" "Lange Bar, Li Zitao appeared here again, only this time his identity was changed to the contractor.
"Riesling, I want the best. Li Zitao smiled at the bartender.
"Yours is always the best. The bartender smiled and removed the bottle from the top of the shelf, which was filled with the best wine.
"Haha, look at our nouveau riche, oh, look, what a thick gold ring. Jeremy's grim face appeared beside him.
"You bastard... Give him a drink. Li Zitao pointed at Jeremy and motioned for the bartender to bring him the same glass.
"Hey man, did you notice over there?" Jeremy pointed to the right with his hand holding the wine glass, and whispered, "Delicate baby face, poor little is waiting for Linxing, wow... She seems interesting to you. β
Dressed in a striped uniform for work, with red wine in his hand, Chu Chu's poor little face was full of the message 'I'm a rookie, come and bully me'.
"Ha, it looks interesting. Li Zitao felt as if he had seen her somewhere, so he decided to step forward and ask what was going on.
"Do I know you?" Coming to the babyface's side, Li Zitao smiled and said, "You have been watching me for a long time." β
"Uh... Sorry sir, I... I'm uh..."Babyface perfectly expresses what is called a rookie's reaction.
Li Zitao guessed that she was not only a rookie, but also had just arrived in the neon city of New York from the countryside, at a loss, afraid but fascinated by the place.
"You work in a restaurant. Li Zitao remembered where he had seen her.
He sometimes likes to go to the restaurant alone, enjoy the time alone, and look at the crowd of customers around him, a bit like being a spectator.
And the babyface in front of him works at his favorite restaurant, and she wasn't there the last time she went, which also confirmed her rookie identity.
Bostin's Restaurant, located on Lexington Avenue, is elegant, dignified, and mysterious, and is one of the best restaurants in New York.
They have dress codes, the best ingredients, drinks, and celebrities from all walks of life.
"Yes, my name is Shalene, Mr. Li, I saw you in the restaurant, that's why I ......" Shalene pressed her fingers to her lower lip and smiled a little uneasily.
"It's a blessing for a girl who has just come to New York to get this job. Li Zitao hooked his hand at the bartender and placed the empty cup on the table at the same time.
"Two glasses of whisky, it's still my favourite. "Riesling, Margarita or any other wine could replace his preference for whisky.
"You're right, I care about my job, very hard... I came with my friends. Salene pointed to a small circle of four or five people not far away.
It's just that judging from the situation in front of her, she doesn't seem to be very popular, otherwise how would she stand here alone and drink.
