Volume 1: "Thieves" 03.
Inside a fairly clean and tidy office.
Chen Xi sat on a wooden chair like an honest child, and across the square table was the owner of this office, a middle-aged bald man who was responsible for hiring, holding a series of powers such as interviews, personnel arrangements, and work commands, and McCready was in charge. This is one of the dross of capitalism, and when it comes to the number of employees, they can save as much as they can, and there is only one person in the whole company.
"I'm sorry, but your conditions don't meet our job requirements."
At this time, he was putting down the resume that was covering his face, revealing his meticulously groomed smooth chin. From the look in his eyes, he could see that he was quite serious when he said this.
"Because of my experience in prison?"
Staring at the blue eyes without a trace of fluctuation, Chen Xi shouted excitedly, this feels like a little daughter-in-law abandoned by the landlord's family, how sad and angry she is.
"It's not."
McCready flatly denied, he turned his head to look at Joel, the parole officer sitting on the periphery, and emphasized again, "I am by no means denying a person's job opportunity because of this aspect, but cleaning work requires enough patience and care, as well as a completely correct attitude, and cannot let go of the slightest mistake, but I can't see these on his resume, before he was imprisoned, he actually worked no more than half a year." β
"Well, that's a bit of a problem."
Joel touched his nose unnaturally, but he was a little unimpressed: "Is this condition recruiting agents, but what I see is only a chain cleaning company that mainly serves the ZF public sector." β
"Can this give me this chance?" Chen Xi pleaded again.
This expression is definitely not a fake, and choosing this cleaning company to work is a very important part of the plan.
Here, I have to thank the long-term edification and education of Hollywood blockbusters, which made Chen Xi understand a fact. Regardless of the important organization, it is easy for cleaners to get in, so it ranks No. 1 in the favorite profession of bandits, anti-ZF groups, and terrorists, and slightly less so repairman and fast food delivery man (pizza is preferred).
But it is obvious that this bald old man does not want to recruit a person with a criminal record, although in the law of Eagle Country, this is a kind of occupational discrimination that should not be had.
"By the way, Joel, you can help me testify, I am a person who has the idea of changing my bad life, and I am very determined, so I can get parole a year early, as long as I am given the opportunity, I will definitely be able to do this job and start a new life"
Chen Xi was still trying to save it, but a tall beauty with blond hair and brown glasses pushed the door in interrupted his speech.
"Mr. McCready, Sarah has booked two spots at the Forest Lodge, and she's letting you come early in the afternoon."
After saying that, as McRae's secretary, she turned to the remaining two people in the room and asked, "Gentlemen, what do you want to drink?" β
Chen Xi was stunned and didn't reply, as a man with a normal sexual orientation, he noticed that the position of the blonde beauty standing and her half-leaning body were just enough to make McCree see a very deep place, which was definitely natural, and she came in without knocking on the door before.
"I seem to know something."
Glancing at the picture frame on the table again, the diagonal position exposed the woman who wrapped around McCready's body.
Not the one next to me.
"No need, Xie Lu Xie Hey, Chen, I think we should go."
Joel was very interested, put down the action of touching his nose all the time, and patted Chen Xi who was silent. He had already seen that there was no way that Director McCready would recruit a parolee.
"Oh, okay, but before I leave, can I hug you, beauty, I was hit by your boss and wanted to seek comfort."
Chen Xi's sudden words were shocking, and everyone was stunned.
"Chen!"
It's a pity that the flirtation didn't succeed, because the next second after saying this, Joel had already pulled him away quickly.
When leaving.
"Chen, I know that you are very unwilling, that guy is obviously discriminating against you, but you can't do such a thing, you know that you can't turn a blind eye, and the consequence of violating the parole regulations during this period is that you will have to take the rest of your time in prison."
Seeing that Chen Xilu has not spoken, Joel is a little worried, and this kind of interval caused by social reasons often becomes an incentive for parolees to break the law again.
"Joel, you're nervous, I'm just kidding, but I bet that McRae must have got into trouble with his beautiful secretary." Chen Xi replied with a smile.
"Well, with this possibility, I would be tempted by such a blonde cat."
Although Joel said so, his face was obviously a little disapproving, Chen Xi knew what he thought, one-night stand is the norm for the people of the Eagle Country, and fixed artillery friends are indispensable daily repertoire, but what he said is not such a shallow meaning.
From the emotional fluctuations that McCready showed at the moment after hearing his words, Chen Xi could feel that the relationship between the two had exceeded the usual standards, and he was thinking about how to take advantage of this before.
"Don't talk about this, Chen, you don't have to worry about your job, I've read the information, there are no more than twenty parole prisoners who have recently found jobs in Greenville, this is a large area of two million, I know that you don't want to go back to the slums, but we can go to Georgeland to have a look, where it is more acceptable to have a prison experience." Joel changed the subject and continued to persuade.
Newsland has five large districts, except for a well-defined slum and two rich areas, Greenville and Georgeland are both low-to-middle middle-class areas, the difference is that Greenville is more conservative, the residents are mostly white and Protestant, and Georgeland is mostly ethnic and open-minded.
These aspects of information are not difficult to understand for Chen Xi, who has fully adapted to it, but he has his own considerations, and the perceived situation makes him have a great confidence to enter this company.
So "No, Joel, I'd like to try here again tomorrow, and if it works, I'll call you again so I don't have to waste your time, this time it's a bother." Chen Xi politely refused.
Joel stopped and looked at Chen Xi's insistent expression for a while, and then replied hesitantly: "Okay, just don't do anything, whether it succeeds or not, remember to call tomorrow, I'll go first." β
Seeing that the parking place was not far away, he signaled that they could separate.
In the Eagle Country, most parolees need to be accompanied by a parole officer to find a job, and even if they are not together at the time, they must find a contract to sign together afterwards, because it must be signed by the parole officer to count.
Chen Xi broke Joel away in advance for the sake of insurance, although for him, even if Joel was present, it would not have much impact, at most he suspected that he might have used some shady means.
Of course, Joel would not be clear about this means, because this is a special ability that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Chen Xi didn't know what he would have, but he had shown this particularity since he was a child.
You can feel the mood swings of the people around you as far as you can see, whether they are malicious, or other emotions such as liking, jealousy, and hate, and you can also discern the intensity of them.
It sounds like a very powerful feeling, but in Chen Xi's own words, having this ability is definitely because he did too much evil in his previous life, and he deserves to have few friends in this life.
It's a bit difficult to understand.
But it can be explained in one sentence - who TM will not have a little dark thoughts in their hearts, even with friends and relatives.
Completely and clearly discerning the likes and dislikes in other people's hearts makes it difficult for Chen Xi to completely trust a person. In his eyes, there is no one in this world who is not ugly. Especially when he was young, the existence of the bear child made him always live in a state of fear, and he behaved like a child with autism, always avoiding others, and hating his own ability.
It's a bit hard to say.,It's almost a series of ruining childhood.,But when you grow up.,There's a certain level of understanding of society.γLife.γValue.,This ability also brings unexpected benefits.γ
To control people's hearts is to control everything, coupled with the three views and not weak wisdom that have been distorted to a certain extent, which has created Chen Xi's terrible synonym - Agareth's cobweb.
The honorific title given after the name of Solomon's Seventy-Two Pillars Demon God represents the effect of this ability after being applied.
Like the demon god Agares, he lures those who have evil thoughts to manifest all kinds of criminal desires, and then manipulates the every move of the selected people by creating cobwebs in a way like creating cobwebs, and completes all kinds of unbelievable schemes.
However, in eight years, Chen Xi has become a well-known dark emperor in the underground world with this nickname, controlling the fate of thousands of people. For him, this is both a benefit and a great pleasure.
Otherwise, a former psychiatrist mentioned above would not be so pessimistic, the chaotic and disorderly world is exactly the paradise that people like Chen Xi love the most.
The various dangerous planes gave him a vast stage to show this talent to the fullest.
To put it simply, he's a good fit here!
So after separating from Joel, Chen Xi began to plan the second step of his plan - finding a helper, which is what he is best at.
