Chapter 69 Power to appoint personnel
After returning to New York, Rorschach seems to have entered a busy rhythm again. Even the game between Matt and the global co-investment firm is only followed by the news, and there is no time to participate in it.
However, Rorschach believes that Matt should be able to handle it well, after all, this is a legal battle, not a mask to beat people. Maybe Matt isn't very good at fighting, but Matt is definitely the top professional in law.
And even at his busiest moments, Rorschach found time to have lunch with a lady.
A three-Michelin-starred restaurant near New York's Central Park, where Rorschach booked a spot two days in advance. But the lady who has lunch with Rorschach is not Wanda the Scarlet Witch, but Pepper Pepper, Tony's secretary.
"Miss Pepper, thank you so much this time." Rorschach said very sincerely during the banquet.
"It's just a small thing, and you've helped Tony a lot, at least you've got him back safely from Afghanistan. You know, when I saw that video, I almost didn't die of scare. Pepper said to Rorschach.
Rorschach invited Pepper over this time for an afternoon interview.
After the establishment of the company, there is no need to worry about the technical and production aspects, but the financial and administrative aspects need a lot of manpower to deal with them. Rorschach had no experience with this, so he thought of asking Pepper to help with the checks and find a few suitable employees.
This is not a big deal, and Pepper naturally will not refuse, but politely, Rorschach still has to express his gratitude.
"Tony has been obsessed with his armor lately?" Rorschach asked with a smile.
"That's right, he's like a big boy who just bought a new toy now, and he can't put it down." Pepper said.
"And how is his physical condition? I think it would be better to take out the shrapnel as soon as possible. Rorschach suggested.
"I've spoken to Dr. Strange and I've convinced Tony that the surgery will take place in the next two weeks."
"That's good, Staranch is the best surgeon in New York, and it shouldn't be a problem to have him in action."
Rorschach clinks with Pepper and toasts Tony's health.
"It's all thanks to your help, I've heard from Dr. Strange that you went to Osborne to borrow the medical nanomachine, otherwise the success rate of this operation would be much lower." Pepper said gratefully.
Whether it is Tony or Pepper, they are very grateful for the help given by Rorschach, and they cherish such a friend very much, otherwise Tony would not have helped Paul Xia in front of S.H.I.E.L.D., and even did not hesitate to use all means to fight against S.H.I.E.L.D.
It is also for this reason that when Rorschach needs help, his first reaction is to find Tony. The interaction between people is like this, you help me and I help you accumulate deep feelings.
If only one of them gives benefits to others, the so-called favor becomes enmity, but it is likely that he will not even be a friend.
Rorschach was about to talk to Pepper about the afternoon interview when he was interrupted.
A white man in a straight suit and gold-rimmed glasses appeared in front of Rorschach with a reserved and polite smile. This person's temperament is quite introverted, and at first glance he is quite mature and stable character.
But when Rorschach saw him, his whole body tensed up as if he had seen a terrorist, ready to fight at any time.
"Mr. Rorschach, Miss Pepper, sorry to disturb your meal. But I think it's better to show up now than to wait when we meet in the company, at least it won't be so abrupt. The man said politely.
"Who are you?" Pepper asked.
"Hello, I'm James Wesley, the administrator assigned by Mr. Obidia Stein. I'm sure Mr. Rorschach will recall that Mr. Stan is contractually responsible for all aspects of the company's staffing. It's just that Mr. Stan was a bit busy some time ago, so he was delayed. So I'm sorry that you had to do it yourself, Mr. Rorschach. But now that I'm here, Mr. Rorschach can let go of these burdens. Wesley said with a smile.
Pepper looked at Rorschach with some confusion, she didn't know that Obidia Stan would be involved in this matter.
Rorschach was a little surprised by Obidia Stein's sudden arrival, but he couldn't compare to the shock of seeing this James Wesley.
This, Rorschach had seen before, on the night Karen Page was drugged. This Mr. Wesley was the man behind the Russian gang, but he ran away at the time.
Now that the global co-investment company is in the midst of a human trafficking scandal, how did Wesley get involved with Obidia Stein?
After thinking for a while, Rorschach said, "Wesley, aren't you the secretary to the president of Global Syndication?" Why can't Wilson Fisk keep you anymore? ”
"Mr. Rorschach, I heard you are Chinese. Then you should have heard the saying that a good bird chooses a tree to perch. Wesley said.
I have to say that this secretary speaks Chinese very well, and does not even have much accent, which shows that he is quite knowledgeable.
"So you're here to stop me from doing the interview?" Rorschach asked.
"Of course not, since the job postings have been sent out, for the sake of the company's reputation, of course the interview will continue. It's just that I'll handle the job of the interview. ”
Looking at Wesley's meaning, he wants to grasp all the personnel appointments in the company.
"As the largest shareholder of the company, Rorschach also has the right to ......" Pepper was about to argue with Rorschach. There are many ways to get involved in the administrative aspects of the company, but it's just a waste of time.
But Rorschach waved his hand and said to Wesley, "It seems that Obidia is really desperate, and even this little money is like cutting meat." ”
Wesley's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard Rorschach at all. In his opinion, nothing Rorschach said could change the outcome of the company's fall from power.
Even if he controls the company's administration and finances, he may not be able to get Obideiah Stein's money back. But as Rorschach said, Obidia Stan is desperate, even if it's just a little bit, to fight for it.
And, according to Wesley's analysis, Rorschach is not a fool. Since he has set up an environmental protection company, he must have some technical support to be able to make a profit. It may not be as lucrative as the arms business, but it won't be to drag Obidia Stan to die with him, which makes no sense at all.
In this first round of encounters, Wesley felt like he had the upper hand.
However, Rorschach did not have any expression of frustration, but confidently said to Wesley: "You can lead the recruitment, but if I want to watch from the sidelines, it shouldn't be a problem." ”
Wesley instinctively felt that something was wrong and wanted to say no. However, as a major shareholder of the company, it is absolutely unjustifiable if you can't even participate in the job fair.
Wesley's method, to put it bluntly, is to make Rorschach feel pressured to make concessions in terms of interests, rather than directly tearing his face and bankrupting the company.
"Isn't it just a spectator? Neither the executive nor the financial staff could have recruited any of them without my nod. Wesley comforted himself inwardly.
As a result, Wesley eventually agreed to Rorschach's request.
