Crossing With the Ball
Chapter 11
So, look?
My life was very simple.
Every day, I worked in three places. Occasionally, I seemed to live in the company.
Since my workload was occasionally too heavy, Toby gave me the position of an intern.
Interns were a species that would naturally leave their jobs when the time came.
It was the day of my intern interview again.
Peter slipped in when I was interviewing the second to last applicant. Ignoring my glare, he walked around the wall in my office.
I wanted to throw my pen at him.
He dressed like an ordinary college student to distract the interviewees. He also didn't allow me to introduce him as the company's owner. (Toby's younger brother. However, I didn't think Peter had any intention of inheriting the company or even participating in the management.)
In the end, I could only end today's interview in haste.
"What are you doing here?" I questioned Peter.
"Ah … But you weren't satisfied with those people just now, right?" Peter asked instead of answering.
I raised my eyebrows.
I was dissatisfied, but it didn't mean that Peter could come in and cause trouble.
"You want two interns?"
Peter continued to ask. He sat sideways on my desk and stared at me. He picked up the small spider toy I put on the table and fiddled with it.
"Yes."
I stared at Peter with a straight face. "If someone doesn't continue to increase my workload, then I don't need two interns. Since I seem to be an intern too."
Peter laughed.
He still didn't put down the toy.
"As if. You weren't an intern for a long time," he said.
The next step was to touch my desk calendar and look at my schedule. "Today, you are going to receive people from the Paz Building, right?"
I rolled my eyes and took back the toy and desk calendar.
"Yes, and you know that Johnny is coming." I couldn't help but get a little angry when he mentioned Thunderbolt. "Okay, I know you want to follow me.
Wait until I deal with these … "
Having achieved his goal, Peter smiled brightly. He deliberately jumped off the table obediently and sat down on the side.
"Then I will wait for you here," he said and winked at me.
… I really can't do anything to Peter.
I've told him hundreds of times not to jump around in my office.
To be honest, I don't really like Johnny.
There was no personal grudge between them. It was just that this fellow was a fickle person with a bad temper. Moreover, he was always stirring up trouble!
Every time he came to New York to hang out with Andrew, it was when Andrew was causing trouble.
I'm not saying that boys shouldn't play around or be naughty, but this is really too annoying.
Su was also having a headache over Johnny. You can't blame me for blacklisting Johnny.
If there was anything that Andrew and I couldn't agree on, it would be this.
Andrew's taste in making friends is really something. Sometimes, I really can't understand it.
What was even more annoying was!
Now, Johnny was playing with Peter!
If Johnny dares to drag Peter to a bar one day, I'll definitely jump up and scratch Johnny's face. While I'm at it, I'll also trample on his lower body. Let's see how he can pick up girls then.
I'm serious!
I'll flip out.
What's the matter? Do you think Peter Parker's series isn't attractive enough?
Can't you see that there are already so many crazy Spider-man fans outside?
Johnny hasn't arrived yet, but the flowers he sent me arrived first.
Columbus had a nervous look on his face when he brought the bouquet of red roses in.
"Ugh … I don't know where I should put this." Columbus said, looking at me and then at the roses, "Trash can?"
I nodded approvingly at him.
That's right, the trash can.
"You can give those flowers to the girls in the office." Peter was surprised by my fierceness.
I glared at Peter and replied coldly, "No, I don't want to help the Playboy."
Columbus, who had a strong desire to survive, ran away from my office with the roses in his arms.
This was why I liked him as my intern and was going to promote him to an assistant.
Although he went to a second or third tier university and his ability wasn't outstanding in the Ivy League, the main point was that he was obedient.
Also, when you see his face that looked like Mark Zuckerberg's twins (or triplets, if you count Lex Luthor) and a shy smile, who wouldn't be in a good mood.
"Anyway, I have to find another intern." I complained as I left the office to receive Johnny, "It has to be a man.
Then I can push the task of receiving him to my number two intern every time this guy comes. "
Before seeing Johnny, let's count how many interns I had. Columbus was my first intern assistant. At the time, Parker Industries wasn't that popular, not to mention I was also an intern at the time.
An intern's intern?
People would die of laughter if they heard about it.
Apart from some poor students from a diploma mill who wanted to work, come on, where would the Ivy League apply?
In the middle, Columbus resigned and said he was going to kill some zombies.
I think he might have been a little high, but it was more likely that people wanted to resign for a variety of reasons, so he just casually asked them to stay and approved.
The next one to apply was Kara. Oh, I liked her. She was efficient. She really was a Kryptonian.
Then Kara also resigned. She wanted to go into the journalism industry. I asked Toby to write a recommendation letter for her.
Until now, we have occasionally contacted each other.
The latter intern wasn't very important. She soon resigned. The reason was that 'the job content was not what she imagined.' In fact, it was because she wanted to seduce Toby and was rejected.
She was the first Ivy League intern I accepted.
The second Ivy League intern wasn't very ideal either. She probably didn't want to work under me and seemed to have no hope of promotion.
Actually, it wasn't like that.
I could recommend people to any department in Parker Industries, even if it wasn't Parker Industries.
It was a pity that neither of them could stay.
Later, thank God, Columbus came back after killing zombies.
I really didn't know where he went and what kind of zombies he killed. It seemed that he was tortured … Whatever. He described the journey as a warm and strange love story.
He asked me if he could come back to work. I immediately agreed and raised his salary.
A while ago, I asked him if he wanted to be promoted. As a result, his biggest wish was to stay in his original position.
A child with no ambition.
Okay?
Okay.
So now we should talk about Johnny.
To be exact, it was about the bad relationship between Johnny and me.
Johnny came in a red sports car.
He stopped in front of the main entrance of the Parker building.
There was a Spider-man marble sculpture (No, this wasn't what any of us thought. It was a pompous gift from Tony Stark when the building was completed …) by the fountain.
I stood in front of the glass door in a pink suit and gave a fake smile to Johnny and his sunglasses.
"Long time no see?" Johnny came over, took my hand and kissed it, "Did you get the flowers?"
"You should know that we don't need these between us," I pulled my hand back and glared at Johnny, "It's too much etiquette."
Johnny laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, don't joke around.
I only gave you roses because Andy is in the UK. "
Suddenly, Peter and I became very unfriendly.
"Don't have any ideas about Nancy, John," Peter was very unhappy, "It's impossible between you two."
"F * ck you, you mean no one except Andrew sent me flowers?" I was even more unhappy.
And I was the one who correctly interpreted Johnny's words. "I really hate you, bastard."
Johnny shrugged and spread his hands, "You hate the truth. You can't blame me for that.
Otherwise, tell me who else would send you flowers.
Your intern?
Speaking of which, you changed your intern again, right?
By the way, this is why you don't receive flowers from men.
You're not romantic at all. "
I took a deep breath and rolled my eyes at Johnny. Then, I turned around and left.
"Let's finish our work as soon as possible.
I can't wait to send you away. "
No matter how much Johnny and Peter chatted and called each other brothers during the process, I finally completed the introduction of the cooperation project before the afternoon, and I didn't commit murder.
However, before Johnny left, he asked Peter to go to a bar!
Peter didn't dare to agree.
He turned to look at me with the speed of a twisting neck. He looked like a pet dog who wanted to go out and play but was afraid of being scolded.
I swear I saw the phantom of a dog's ears on his head and a dog's tail behind his back.
"Sure."
I agreed with a sneer. I took out my phone and dialed, "Let's meet Chili Pepper and some of my friends."
Before Peter could react, Johnny hooked his arm and pulled him to the side.
"Bro, are you serious?
Why are you bringing her?! "Johnny questioned Peter and gestured in my direction with his other thumb.
Peter showed a particularly obedient and cute expression.
"You know … Toby isn't here. I have to … I have to protect Nancy. I can't … I mean, I better not make her angry.
You know that. "
