Chapter 15: Grapevine
Dent: "Don't make fun of me, how can I have such connections and know those street heroes...... All of them are temporary workers this time?"
Jonathan: "Not necessarily, it all depends on how well they do during the probationary period, and if they do well, they may become regulars...... You don't have anyone to recommend, why are you asking?"
Dent: "Recruit people in the crew?" - did not answer, continued to ask
Jonathan: "...... (Displeased, but because Dent is a relative of Elder Deng, it's not good to have a seizure) Yes, you should have seen the internal notice issued by the House of Elders yesterday afternoon, Wayne has a new position, and he must not continue to play Batman, and the original backup candidates for the crew in the Special Operations Team are not available, and they must be recruited to fill the vacancy. ”
Dent: "So Batman is really going to be recast? What about Bider? Did he really tell you yesterday that he would give up playing Batman?" - excited, asking the most important question
Jonathan: "How do you know...... Ah~, I see. Did you hear some "gossip" down there?"
Dent: "Yes, since yesterday afternoon, there have been rumors in the crew that "the male number one is going to be replaced" and "Bide (the hottest candidate) doesn't want to take over" and other gossip ...... to explain the intention
PS: These gossip messages were spread by Wayne, and Dent was tricked again, and was used as a gun by Wayne again.
Jonathan: "And when you heard all this gossip, you came to me to verify the authenticity and recommended yourself? Are you interested in playing Batman?" - pointed
Dent: "It's not just me, everybody is interested, and everyone is eager to try it. ”
Jonathan: "Everyone, the rest of the crew are in the same mental state as you?" (accidentally) You came to probe me on their behalf?" -- the implication was to ask Dent, "Did you kid be pushed out by a colleague to act as a wrongdoer?"
Dent: "I'm not here to probe you, I'm worried that you're handing over Batman's position to someone else." I didn't listen to Jonathan's words
Jonathan: "Outsiders?"
Dent: "Well, as the saying goes, [fat water does not flow to outsiders], colleagues in the crew think that if Batman wants to be recast, he should be selected from the original crew of Mali. Since Bid doesn't want to replace Wayne as Batman, then ......" - eloquently
Jonathan (belly): "Why did all the members of the crew become so impetuous, isn't it just that there is a "prince" in that position, and he suddenly becomes an incense pot, forgetting the danger in it, and fighting one by one." I really don't know what they think, it's really troublesome that telepathy can't be used for the time being. It seems that the internal notice issued by the House of Elders has encouraged everyone too much, and it is necessary to pour a few basins of cold water on everyone to cool them so that everyone will come to their senses, otherwise they will have to delay their work...... This first basin of cold water will be poured on your head first......"
Jonathan: "Stop, stop, the gossip you're hearing has been reinterpreted by the people down there, and it's not entirely accurate. It's not that Bied doesn't want to take over, but he has other arrangements, don't make a mistake. "--End basin
Dent: "What are the other arrangements?"
Jonathan: "Bied is going from the front line to the department management as my temporary adjutant. "-- Open the water
Dent: "...... The real reason why Bid gave up playing Batman was that he "had good news from the delivery room and was promoted"?
Jonathan: "Yes, Director Gao said that he has almost honed his training in the front line in the past few years, and it is time for him to enter the department management to accumulate management experience." ”
Dent: "...... In other words, Director Gao has already chosen Bi De to take over his class, and the training plan for our three disciples is going to end ahead of schedule? It's only been half a year. ”...,
Jonathan: "Only Director Gao knows, I don't know." I only know that Director Gao's health is getting worse and worse, and this morning the new secretary (Emma's eldest daughter, clone No. 1) officially submitted a long-term sick leave application to the organization, and will suspend work for the next month to concentrate on taking care of her health......"
Dent: "......"
Me (voiceover): "Jonathan, you're pouring cold water too hard, aren't you?" ”
@
Jonathan (belly): "Well...... It looks like it's working well. ”
Dent: "(Relieved) The recasting of Batman......"
Jonathan: "The role of Batman is not something that just anyone can do, don't take a fluke to fight for this position, thinking that it is foolproof to have Kent and Jordan next to you, it will only delay the newly formed team." You've participated in previous missions with the location five, and you should know that Wayne never needs extra help or protection from other members unless necessary, and has never been a shortcoming or burden to the team, and the new Batman must also have this. ”
Dent: "......"
Jonathan: "So I decided to use the "open competition" (internal disclosure) within the department in the future to select the new Batman based on strength. As long as you feel strong and want that position, you don't care whether you are a veteran member or a new temporary worker, as long as you meet the basic conditions (male, over 20 years old and under 50 years old, 1.80 meters tall, strong, no superpowers are preferred). This is an official decision, and you can tell everyone this information generously, and don't spread any more gossip, which is distorted by adding oil and vinegar. -- Limit the role of gossip, gather people's hearts, and enhance the credibility and authority of the department's management
Dent: "It's ......" - Leave
After Dent left the room
Jonathan: "...... Stop what you're doing and come to my office...... It's hard to talk on the phone, come here. ”
Ten minutes later, Bied arrived
Bidder: "What's the urgency of the director's agent looking for me?"
Jonathan: "Who did you tell you about my conversation yesterday afternoon?"
Bid: "Yesterday's conversation...... (Seeing Jonathan's unhappy face, he immediately reacted) You misunderstood me, I didn't tell anyone!"
Jonathan: "I didn't tell anyone? No way! Since yesterday afternoon, there has been a grapevine that "Bied has given up playing Batman......"
Bidder: "The gossip about me didn't spread yesterday afternoon, it was this morning! Yesterday afternoon, the gossip circulated in the crew that "the male number one is going to be replaced", and this news was confirmed by an internal notice issued by the House of Elders shortly after...... "-- quickly interrupted, corrected, and recounted what was known
Jonathan: "Ah, who is so powerful that he can release this gossip before the House of Elders issues an internal notice? Could there be a conspiracy in this? Should I inform Loki and let him find out the ......source of the news?"
Me (voiceover): "Jonathan, don't bother, do you want Loki to check himself? He's the source of this gossip." ”
