Chapter 499, Ultimatum
Will certainly didn't reconcile with Brooklyn. He wasn't stupid, and he immediately fell in love with Brooklyn after listening to an emotional speech.
Will just agreed with Brooklyn, agreed with him, and that's it. His real purpose in reporting the Brooklyn news is to use Brooklyn's words to attack the status quo in all walks of life β just doing his job well, but being praised by others.
An actor is a good actor if he just memorizes his lines well and works hard. A judge is a good judge if he is just and impartial.
The official just didn't stretch out his hand and went to and from work on time, and he was a clean official. When did a good actor become so good?
When did you become so good a judge? When did you become such an official? Will had long been unhappy with this distorted situation.
Right now, through Brooklyn's words, all his brains are spit out. Will was careful to choose his words so that his own point of view sounded like the one Brooklyn was trying to make.
As the former number one cloth blower, after depowdering, sanity returned at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Brooklyn did make it clear that whoever dared to take his interview out of context would be next.
Will isn't taken out of context right now. He just over-read it. Will was talking on television β the Brooklyn story was just a primer to get his point out, and now that the job of the lead was done, time should give way to the topic.
He's not the Bu Blowing he once was, and he spends twenty or thirty minutes on a show in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is now a tool for him. When Will uses Brooklyn as a tool, the tool is sitting on the couch with a plate of fried noodles in his hand, eating and watching with relish.
Brooklyn could naturally understand what Will was saying, and he could see that Will was acting under his guise.
He doesn't mind being taken advantage of. This experience has taught him many truths, one of which is the benefits of being used.
Being able to be used shows that you have value, can negotiate, can exchange resources, and have bargaining chips for cooperation.
- Of course, whether we can keep this bargaining chip and make cooperation always a cooperation, not a part-time job, is another matter.
Today's bureau was dedicated to Gracie, and Will played an important role in his presence in which latecomers took it for granted that an accident was a press conference.
Will acts like the head of the flock, making the flock behind him compete and not find the slightest problem.
Brooklyn took advantage of Will, and of course Will could use him as well. Just like Brooklyn used Dan Liz to 'fish' for Will, Dan Liz was interviewed by Will.
But there are differences. Dan Liz knew she was being used β and when she met Gracie Pamela, especially Brooklyn, who expertly entered interview mode, she understood that there was a price tag for an interview.
This interview is not the credit of the Harvard Council, but a private 'gift' from Brooklyn. She thought the deal was a good fit, so she was very cooperative in the follow-up - she could have walked away.
Will is different. Was he being used first, then asking for payment, or was he taking it himself without Brooklyn's consent.
It's like you recruit a call girl, you fall asleep after playing cards, and the girl opens your purse and takes the pay.
Even if the girl took the right price, she still stealed. Brooklyn, while understanding Will's actions, did not approve of the deal.
Will was deceived and deceived, that was his own problem, he couldn't think of it later to ask for payment, and he could only think of himself as unlucky when he didn't think about it, and he never had the practice of turning over the account.
He can be found in e.. Y negotiated the price with Brooklyn on the first floor, and Brooklyn would definitely agree and admit the deal at that time.
Therefore, in Brooklyn's view, the relationship between him and Will at this time is not 'money and money', but he owes himself.
Brooklyn munched on fried noodles, waited for the evening news to finish, took the empty dishes to the kitchen to clean them, put them on the drain rack to drain, and waited a while before taking out his phone and calling Will.
"Will." Brooklyn smiled like an old friend she hadn't seen in years
"I watched the show, and it was great." Brooklyn praised. Will didn't have much enthusiasm. After one episode of the show, he was physically and mentally exhausted.
And the pressure that comes with Brooklyn.
"What's the matter?" Will simply went straight to the point, he asked
"If it's a news report, I'll play your interview word for word and frame in full accordance with your request."
"No, you're mistaken." Brooklyn laughed
"I'm not dissatisfied with the show, what I'm saying is true, satisfied. The show is amazing. "After a pause, Brooklyn said
"I just think there's a little bit of a flaw."
"Will, how could you, as a well-known commentator on current affairs in the media, make such a low-level mistake?"
"I'm just a judge, and I don't mean to allude to other professions, other professions, other people. I'm just simply expressing my thoughts, that's all. Why do you always want to interpret a very simple sentence into something very complex? This puzzles me. Brooklyn sighed
"It's probably going to be a big problem for me if you're doing that. It's possible that I'm going to be paraded again tomorrow, or that I'm being shot on my way to work. "He was a lawyer before he became a judge.
He was all too familiar with it. It's like making a claim, he is listing the losses, exaggerating as much as possible on the basis of maintaining objectivity, describing them to a serious level, and asking for more compensation.
Will is a smart man, and it may not be possible for him to participate in the struggle himself, but let him comment, he can speak the truth.
Just like he didn't understand the truth of 'self-financing' and 'no vision, he can only consider himself unlucky', and failed to negotiate the 'price' with Brooklyn on the spot, but waited for Brooklyn to 'fall asleep' afterwards and secretly took money from Brooklyn's wallet.
He was a theorist. Still, Will could hear Brooklyn's dissatisfaction with his reporting.
Will thought about it carefully and realized that if he wanted to keep the show, he could only satisfy Brooklyn. But he was not reconciled.
"That's what you call a good judge." Will scoffed
"Brooklyn, seriously, you can have your assistant write a good press release every day and send it directly to the major media outlets."
"Or maybe you like managing media so much that you might as well start your own media company." Brooklyn was not outraged by Will's words.
It was the first time he stood at the current height, he didn't know what a person at this height should do, what was the difference in his daily behavior, and no one taught him, he could only figure it out by himself.
Brooklyn was always smiling, and her voice was as gentle as ever.
"It's a good idea, but I'm a judge, and a judge is not allowed to run a business."
"If I have a company, I have to hand it over to a professional manager, and I am not allowed to intervene or know anything about the company during my tenure. So, neither of the methods you are talking about will work. As she spoke, Brooklyn burst out laughing.
He laughed for a moment before speaking
"Alright, no kidding."
"Will, it's not okay for you to graft your views onto me like that. If I don't do something this time, next time all the media will graft what they want to say onto me. β
"Man, I'm sorry, it wasn't against you this time, but I have to issue a ticket to A, as well as a summons for infringement proceedings."
"I swear, Will, it's really not against you, you know, a has a stake in Winston. Winston and I are good friends. "Issuing a ticket is just a public attitude, and the subpoena is very meaningful.
The court has the power to seal off the premises in the name of investigation. Just like it was at the beginning, Brooklyn could be completely closed and closed, and it would be closed and closed all the time.
This is much more serious than the closure of business for rectification. Will may have been a theoretical giant, but he could also hear the threat in Brooklyn's words.
This made him even angrier. What a judge he used to be so good now!
"Brooklyn! You're taking revenge! Will exclaimed. Brooklyn turned off the lights in the kitchen and walked up the stairs to the upper floor, talking as he went
"No, Will, you're mistaken. I don't really have that idea, I swear. β
"I thought we had a good relationship all along." With that, Brooklyn opened the door of the study, turned on the light, turned on the computer, and made himself a cup of tea while waiting for the computer to turn on.
The tea was bought at a convenience store today, with a panda painted on it, and the panda is holding a bamboo.
I don't know what pandas have to do with tea when they eat bamboo.
"That's why I made this call to inform you, just because I don't want you to misunderstand me and affect our relationship." Brooklyn said as he observed the panda eating bamboo tea leaves in boiling water.
Since the phone was on the table, it was a little far away, so he had to raise the volume.
"And your point of view is also problematic."
"What's the problem!?" Referring to his opinion, Will's voice was slightly raised, sounding a little shrill and shrill sound.
Brooklyn shook her head, feeling like she had bought a fake. Pandas eat bamboo tea leaves in boiling water and behave very ordinarily, that is, they do not stand upright and are not fragrant, like a pile of rotten leaves in a sinking pond, stacked lifelessly at the bottom of the cup.
Brooklyn tried to take a sip, but tasted nothing but a slight bitterness. He took the cup and looked at it carefully, and began to wonder if it was tea leaves.
"The actor Katisa you said has no representative works and exaggerated acting skills, people have never said that they are actors, and you insist on putting actors on her head." Brooklyn put the tea on the table, turned on the computer, logged in to the mailbox, scanned the letters, and continued
"And what exactly are you talking about?"
"For example, I'm a judge, what is my job? I need to do what you say they should be and what you say is 'incompetent'. What qualifies as 'excellent'? Brooklyn expertly replied to Burke Forsman's email and continued
"There are different jobs in all walks of life. Even if it is the same position, the so-called 'competence' due to individual differences is not the same. Can a normal and healthy security officer stop a gangster and a bulleted or prosthetic security officer stop a gangster? β
"Can a nurse caring for patients on a ward at Bellevue Public Hospital be of the same nature as a nurse caring for patients in areas of war and infectious disease outbreaks?"
"Do you want to set a standard for everyone that indicates how much he needs to be incompetent, what he should be, and what he is good." As he spoke, Brooklyn crackled and typed out a large number of words, replied to Burke's work report, and then opened the next email, and while checking it, he habitually picked up his cup and took a sip.
Then he threw it back up. Brooklyn picked up the phone with a bitter face and held the cup, poured the tea into the toilet, cleaned the cup carefully, made himself a cup of coffee, returned to the study, created a new page and emailed Bob [Help me buy some tea, I want authentic oriental tea, the kind that can be drunk, not some rotten leaves!]
οΌ After sending the email, Brooklyn continued to check the mailbox and casually said to the phone
"Will, you're naΓ―ve."
"I can honestly tell you that the real reason why I'm unhappy is that you grafted a wrong opinion onto me. Otherwise, with A's relationship with me, with our relationship, I wouldn't care. β
"I know you've had an inexplicable opinion about me and think I've changed." Brooklyn crackled and typed, and after replying to the email, he found that Bob had already replied to him, and there was only one big OK in it.
Brooklyn took a sip of coffee and continued
"You won't believe anything I say, you'll just stubbornly insist that you're right, thinking I'm making excuses, and I don't want to explain it to you. Will, this afternoon at E. I have spoken in those words, which I have said, in a sincere manner. β
"You may think I've changed, but I know that I haven't. I'm still the 'Themis of New York.' β
"Themis is going to threaten mortals?" Will scoffed. He listened to it for so long, was accused of mistakes by Brooklyn to his face, and was oppressed by Brooklyn's momentum, he instinctively wanted to resist, refute, and oppose everything in Brooklyn.
"Will, let go of your prejudices, calm down and think about what I just said, and face up to your mistakes." Brooklyn paid no attention to Will's taunt and said mildly
"I'll wait for you to get back to me." He glanced at his watch, then at the email he was dealing with, and continued
"It's early in the morning. I guess I'll have to work until the wee hours of the morning. β
"Before I go to sleep, give me an answer." What's the reply? Brooklyn didn't say it, but Will should be able to get it.
Will McWonyne is important, but a is even more important. Winston holds a stake in A, and Will McWinn is relatively less important.
