Chapter 184: The Day of Paycheck
After lunch, Hobart gave a meeting to three of his subordinates.
Now the work of their team is to first open the current letters, Jessica mainly reads and replies to the letters of newspapers and magazines, and makes interview plans, and asks reporters to come and complete the interviews in the near future.
Letters of consultation and commissions are to be read by Las Gar and Dicco, and letters of consultation are available to Las and Dicco at their discretion, and letters of entrustment can only be replied to and commissioned only after Hobart agrees.
At the end of the meeting, Hobert said that inviting everyone to the restaurant for dinner in the evening was a declaration of the formation of their team.
After arranging his work, Hobert returned to his office and wrote a reply to Iconser, during which Hobert suddenly remembered Ulysses' request, so he wrote another letter to Elizabeth.
In the letter, Hobart said something about "poisonous chicken soup", telling Elizabeth that death was happening every day, and telling her not only to be sad and reverent of life, but to look forward.
After writing them, Hobert gave them to Jessica and instructed her to send them out this afternoon.
Then Hobert put on his trench coat and took up his cane to "visit the client".
He first walked back to the rental house and left a note for Hugh and Furth, telling them not to come back for dinner in the evening.
Hobert then took a horse-drawn cab to the "Obsidian Bar" in the North End.
He arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, but Lorota was already sitting at the bar, asking for a beer, but he didn't take a sip.
"So early?" Hobert put away his cane and asked for a beer.
"I just happened to be fine today, so I came early." Lorota took out an envelope: "This is your salary for the previous week, we pay your salary every Saturday afternoon, you can go directly to the Black Thorn Security Company to collect it, or you can mail it to you, but you have to write a written application if you mail it." ”
Hobert, of course, chose to mail it, and he immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote a request, and asked Lorotta to submit it on his behalf.
The format and wording of the document were much the same, and Lorota took a look at it and put the application away.
Hobart asked, "Is there anything you want me to do today?" ”
This is the first time that a member of the Nightwatchman team has taken the initiative to ask Hobert.
"It's paychecks, and you're two days late."
"Just paychecks?"
"It's just paychecks."
Hobert recalls the previous meetings with Lotrotta, and the lady seems to have reached an obsessive attitude towards paychecks, could it be that she has been dragged by the night watchman team?
Can't you? If the official Extraordinaire organization has a financial crisis, it is not far from disbanding.
"Well, that's a big deal indeed." Hobert casually echoed and asked, "I reported a 'secret prayer person' named Kate before, where is your investigation?" ”
He added: "At that time, Ms. Dali promised to inform me of the results of the investigation. ”
"We've found what you call Heyman." Lorota looked around and saw that there were no guests before saying, "He seems to be in contact with the other two members of the Aurora Society, and we plan to close the net this week or the next."
"Oh, by the way, the captain said, and I may have to let you join the operation when the time comes, so you have to be ready for these two days. Well, that's one of the reasons I'm looking for you today! ”
This is the more important reason to meet! Hobert couldn't help but complain in his heart: Did the night watchman really owe you a salary?
Hobart took a deep breath before calming down and nodded: "I will never be soft on this group of crazy people, after setting a time for action, you can write to me, or go directly to inform me." ”
"No problem."
On the way back to the law firm, Hobert realized that Lorota was wearing some magical object that made her value "salary" so much?
The more Hobert thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, otherwise wouldn't the Night Watch team be afraid of being called on by Lorrota for debts? How dare you want to be a member who is bent on salary?
Back at the office, when Hobart hung up his trench coat, Jessica came to Hobart's office: "Attorney Hobart, I have read all the letters from newspapers and magazines and drawn up a plan for an interview.
"Take a look, and if I can, I'll write a reply according to this plan."
It's fast enough!
Hobert took the plan and glanced at it: "No problem. ”
Jessica was a little embarrassed and said, "Lawyer Hobert, that, you, do you have any extra tickets?" ”
Hobert was stunned for a moment before realizing that Jessica was talking about tickets to the "Russell Memorial Exhibition".
Jessica continued to stumble: "Well, I have a friend who admires Russell very much, but, but we don't have the means to get VIP tickets to visit up close, so ......"
In the afternoon, Jessica saw Hobert taking away a stack of VIP tickets while sorting letters, and she was reluctant to ask for them because she had two other colleagues.
She hesitated for a long time this afternoon, always feeling that it was not good to make such a request on the first day of employment, but thinking of her friend's happy smiling face, she decided to ask for a ticket for her friend
"Yes." Hobert graciously gave two tickets: "These tickets are a thank you from the Church of Steam and the Mechanics." ”
Jessica hurriedly thanked her, her joy overflowing.
Back at his desk, Hobert had been on business for more than an hour, and it was time to leave work.
The Hobart team went to a nearby restaurant to dine together, and with this dinner, everyone was much closer.
However, the salary that Hobert just received in the afternoon was spent 3 pounds and 3 soles, and half a week's salary was gone, and now Hobert suddenly understood a little why Lorota valued the salary so much, and the days of paychecking.
If two days spend a week's salary, the remaining 5 days are like looking forward to the stars and the moon!
……
On Wednesday, the day of the opening of the "Russell Memorial Exhibition", Hobert is now the head of the department, and he can go out directly to "visit clients" without asking for leave, or without going to the office.
When I came to the exhibition hall, the queue was already crowded, and Hobert really didn't expect that Russell had been dead for more than a hundred years, but he still had such a big attraction.
However, considering the lack of entertainment in this era, such a commemorative exhibition is very popular with all walks of life.
Because Hobart had a VIP ticket in his hand, he could avoid the queues, go straight through the side door, and get a close-up look at what Russell once used.
As soon as he entered the door, Hobert saw a member of the "Mechanical Heart" who had protected him, and he knew that the other party must be busy today, so he just smiled and nodded to the other party, and did not come forward to talk.
Entering the exhibition hall, as a person in the Common Era, Hobert was not very interested in these things, and only praised Russell's golden toilet as extravagant, and wondered if it could really be pulled out on such a toilet.
Hobert made his way to the study area as fast as he could, and as soon as he glanced at the tall bookshelves in the study, he saw Jessica and the silver-haired woman in front of the bookshelves.
At the same time, Jessica also saw Hobert, and she quickly waved her hand and said, "Lawyer Hobert, I am not absent from work, I have asked for leave." ”
Hobert laughed, "I wasn't absent from work either. ”
Jessica was stunned, as if she understood something.
