Chapter 8 Heroes: Imperial Enterprises
Russell could see from the subtle changes in the emperor's gaze and attitude that he had guessed correctly again.
His social strategy was correctβof course, there may have been a reason why the inferior stood by and compared, and the emperor was suddenly full of affection for Russell.
"Very gracious lad. Very nice and very spiritual. β
The emperor nodded, and the corners of his mouth that had been pursed because of his straight face couldn't help but rise slightly, and he praised in an undisguised deep voice: "I appreciate it."
"People who can stand up and become heroes when others are in danger are obviously different from some young people who are not polite and only know how to point fingers."
The inferior glanced at him coldly.
After all, Russell is still there, so I won't spray him.
When he was in front of Russell, he stopped promoting his theory of attacking "heroes" in public.
β¦β¦ Not to give Russell a face.
The main thing is that it's not good to spread out like this.
At that time, the onlookers will think that there is a contradiction between the "inferior" and the "ultramarine".
This may split the entire executive into factions that support heroes and don't, causing pointless internal friction. It may even make friends no longer friends, colleagues no longer colleagues, and the once friendly working together relationship will fall apart......
- It's not that he's worried that this will keep Russell from stepping down.
Seeing that the inferior only glanced at himself without squeaking, the emperor showed a happy expression on his face.
Although Lingqin is only an emperor penguin, the majesty of the emperor's temperament is reminiscent of a lion.
"Excellency Ultramarine, can I invite you as a guest on my show in the future?"
The Emperor reached out and patted Russell's shoulder, revealing the concerned and generous smile characteristic of the elders: "I think we will have a good time talking then." β
Russell noticed that he only said "had a good time", but did not say "interesting" or "show effect", and he had a rough idea in his heart.
This is actually because the emperor felt that "ultramarine" was not topical and not interesting enough, so this was not a win-win cooperation, but just to promote Russell...... Give him some more flow to replenish his body.
In other words, he intended to open a back door to Russell as a gesture of goodwill.
Although Russell felt completely unnecessary, he didn't need to rely on this to eat at all......
But you don't have to refuse the kindness of your elders.
So Russell responded with a smile: "No problem." Feel free to contact me when you have time. β
"Then please take this."
With that, the Emperor handed his business card to Russell.
It was a frosted, gold-plated business card, and the back depicted an emperor penguin with a high chest and a head up. On the obverse is his code name: Emperor.
Below is the small print "Deputy Director of Tianen TV", and below are the smaller "freelance writers" and "well-known program hosts".
Russell did not put away the business card, but placed it directly on the prosthetic body of his left hand.
The emperor's code name data was transmitted to Russell's prosthetic body through NFC technology. Russell heard a sound in his ear, and the emperor's electronic business card appeared in front of him.
Russell stretched out his hand and tapped in the void, sending a friend request directly to the emperor.
After that, Russell opened his mouth and asked casually: "Mr. 'Emperor', may I ask you to come here...... Is there something important? β
"Ah, he was invited by me."
At this moment, a rather honest voice that sounded like a "very fat" voice came from not far away.
It was none other than Director Dodgerson, who was wearing pointy shoes and was therefore slow to move.
The big, soft orange cat moved its body and squeezed through the crowd.
"Director Dodgson."
Including Russell and the inferior, people greeted him one after another.
Dodgerson walked over with a smile and touched Russell's head.
Russell subconsciously narrowed his eyes, raised his head and rubbed his uncle's warm and chubby palm.
This orange cat director can be friends with anyone. He has a gentle and lazy temperament, and when he squints his eyes, he looks like a fat orange cat basking in the sun......
If it weren't for his identity, I'm afraid many people would want to hug him or touch his soft and warm belly like a hot water bottle.
"It's so good that you get along so well."
Looking at Russell's relationship with the emperor, Dodkison sighed.
He glanced at the inferior one, then at Russell, and said with some joy: "Since Russell came, it seems that even the inferior ones have become gentler."
He took a few people to the office of the Special Operations Department of Delphinch.
Seeing Russell's return to the delphinch, he was a little stunned for a while. But when she saw Director Dodgson and the "Hero Emperor" coming, she finally left her seat and came over to serve tea to her seniors and bosses.
After sitting down, just holding the tea, Dodkison opened his mouth to praise Russell.
"You've done a good job, Russell."
This soft orange cat is sensible, not the type of "because it's a relative's child, so you have to be treated more harshly".
His attitude towards Russell was quite gentle, and he did not hesitate to praise and praise himself: "It can be said that your character and ability have formed a very good complement to the inferior." With you, I'll be able to rest assured about the affairs of the Special Operations Department.
"The underdog has been doing very well lately. It's been a while since I've seen a company's PR department wipe your ass...... At the same time, your work has not diminished at all. He also worked with Minister Delphinch to deal with very troublesome enemies. Recently, there are angels dealing with it in Downtown, and you are usually working hard. I can finally give myself a vacation for a while, and I can take a break at home if I have nothing to do. β
Dodgerson commented on everyone's recent work very seriously, with a rather gentle attitude and always finding some merits. It's like an elementary school teacher writing graduation comments to students.
It is said that the reason why he was able to become a director back then was because Dodgson was particularly good at "praising people".
Not a flattery to the "above", but an affinity for the "below". Director Dodgson is very good at motivating others, and is often good at pulling people to talk to, telling jokes or comforting people...... It feels like a cross talk actor who can raise elephants.
Dodkison was a psychiatrist back then, and he was a real conversation therapy - just chatting with this fat orange can really improve happiness and effectively treat mental illness. He also often gives gifts to his subordinates during the New Year's holidays, helps single employees go on blind dates, adjusts office conflicts, or pulls homeless orphan employees to eat at home during the New Year.
He was promoted to director solely because of his prestige among the staff.
In this way, some of the orders and plans issued by the elves will be much less resistant when they are passed down through the Dodgerson...... And with his good old character, he also had to get involved.
And this hero called "Emperor" is the hero he personally promoted back then.
These "heroes" pushed out by the company are actually the "agents" pushed to the front of the stage by their respective directors.
For some things that are inconvenient for them to do, or can be done by an agent, there is no need to run by themselves.
One is unsafe and the other is unnecessary.
In addition to people like Dodgerson, who were born at the grassroots level and have some feelings with some old employees...... The other directors don't even come to the company. If you really want to have a meeting, you only need to use VR technology to enter the virtual space to hold a meeting.
specially called the emperor over, and even stepped on these pointed scalp shoes that were inconvenient to walk to the company, there must be something important that must be discussed in person.
β¦β¦ But why do you have to call yourself and the inferior?
"I have gathered you here because I have something to ask you."
Dodgson emphasized: "It's a private matter. β
