Chapter 619 Unemployed, Lovelorn, Double Lost Young Eddie

Last night, the spacecraft Life-1, which was launched into space by the Life Foundation, had an accident while passing through the atmosphere on its way back to Earth, so that it could not land safely, but crashed to the island of Malaysia.

The spaceship was called Life One.

The astronauts collected samples of four venom symbionts from the space meteorite and locked them in a high-strength glassware tube. The reason for the accident is that one of the venom symbiotes, codenamed "Riot", escaped from the inside because the body was too strong, and after possessing a crew member to gain a strong symbiotic ability, it also destroyed the entire ship by accident.

Although the crashed spaceship was sacrificed, those crew members were considered to have completed the mission, after all, the most important thing in this space exploration project is actually the venom symbiote samples from alien planets, as long as they are basically fine, it is just that the return journey is not very successful.

New York, a high-rise building, a well-known media company in New York.

"Do you know what I love most about this view?"

The owner of the media company, a middle-aged black man in good spirits, sat in a roller chair with his back to the office door, looking out at the cityscape in front of the building, and the high-rise buildings rising from the ground, the endless traffic on the road, and the hurried and leisurely pedestrians, "I will never get tired of looking at it." ”

"Well, I'm probably a little afraid of heights."

Eddie Bullock, a popular fried chicken reporter of this media company, crossed his hands on his chest, even if he was facing the boss of the entire company, he was calm at the moment, as if he had a kind of arrogance in his bones, and after teasing the boss at the beginning, he went straight to the point, "This time, what task did you assign me to?" ”

"I got you an appointment with a big person, an exclusive interview."

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"Carlton Drake."

"Carlton Drake?"

"This man is a visionary, and he wants to talk about this rocket. I want to use my own explanation to convince everyone that the rocket is actually very safe, and that last night's crash was just an accident. ”

"Then he's crazy."

"Then I'll be honest with you, the Life Foundation is a giant technology company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, as the head of the Life Foundation, as long as Carlton Drake wants, he can even use the cash in his pocket to immediately buy our entire building as his garage, now, all you have to do is ask about the space project, and finally thank him for the interview and wish him a nice day."

"But he's a liar."

"Eddie, you have to understand that when you are homeless, we give you a chance. And now, you know how much New Yorkers love to watch your show, and you're the best investigative journalist in the company right now, but at the end of the day, you're just a junior employee. ”

The black boss's face at the moment is really ugly and ugly, and he is simply angry with Eddie, who can be called paranoid, and he persuaded bitterly, "So, do me a favor, Eddie, don't get to the bottom of it." That kind of big guy, we definitely can't afford to mess with. ”

The implication is that you just do your interview honestly, don't be too much about right and wrong, and have to dig deep and trace the secrets behind this rocket exploration of space projects. Leaving aside whether we can find out the facts, even if we do, it won't do us any good, and it's hard to change anything, but if we don't pay attention, it will put our entire company in trouble.

Under the kind persuasion of the black boss, Eddie Bullock shrugged his shoulders and pouted, "Okay! ”

It's a verbal promise.

Of course, it is unknown whether he agreed in his heart, or whether he really took the boss's words to heart.

After leaving the building after work, Eddie and his girlfriend Anne make an appointment to go to a restaurant in New York for dinner and then go home together.

That night, when his girlfriend fell asleep, he got up and went to the bathroom to pee.

However, on the way back to the room after peeing, for some reason that even he couldn't figure out, as if he was stunned, his footsteps stopped in front of his girlfriend's notebook placed on the table. His girlfriend is a barrister at a law firm that happens to be employed by the Life Foundation, so the laptop in front of him contains non-public information about the Life Foundation's lawsuits.

Under the almost extreme jealousy and hatred, Eddie temporarily put aside the so-called quality of respecting "privacy", chose to sit down in a chair, opened his girlfriend's notebook, and quickly skimmed through the information about the private lawsuit case of the Life Foundation accepted by the law firm......

However, he didn't know that this moment was the Pandora's box that he first opened before he fell out of love, lost his job, and suffered insomnia soon after, and became a miserable young man with "three losses".

The next day, Eddie came to the Life Foundation base as a popular reporter according to the time that the owner of his media company had made with the Life Foundation, and began an exclusive interview with the young and promising Dr. Drake.

As in the film's plot, the first half of the interview went smoothly and naturally, with Eddie touting the great Dr. Drake along the way, according to the established interview script and flexible eloquence. Dr. Drake was also very polite and enthusiastic towards Eddie. The interview went smoothly.

However, the second half took a turn for the worse.

Driven by the deep hatred and hatred of the illegal behavior, Eddie abruptly deflected the topic and began to question Dr. Drake about how the Foundation for Life conducted biopharmaceutical trials, whether it was related to the frequent disappearances of homeless people on the streets of New York, whether illegal human experiments had been conducted, and so on.

Dr. Drake wasn't a fool either, on the contrary, he was very scheming.

immediately interrupted the interview process with a knife in his smile, and ordered the staff next to him to delete the interview video directly, and then instructed the nearby security personnel to "invite" Eddie, the reporter who was doing the matter, out.

Immediately after that, the next day.

Under the heavy pressure of a giant business empire like the Life Foundation, Eddie was fired from the media company he worked for without any suspense.

And because of the information about the closed court cases he questioned Dr. Drake face-to-face, the people of the Life Foundation traced that the confidential case information was from the hands of Eddie's girlfriend Annie, so that his girlfriend Annie was also affected and unemployed, and on the same day received a letter of dismissal from the personnel department of the self-discipline center.

Anne, who understood the reason, angrily announced the breakup to Andy.

As a result, because of his "death", Eddie went from a successful person with both career and love in just one day to a LOSER who both fell into a trough in his career and lost his love.
