Marvel Nephalem

Time always flies by inadvertently, and this feeling will become more and more obvious as people age.

In Clark's eyes, the wait was short, but Annie was already out of breath and on pins and needles.

But in Clark's eyes, this is enviable, because as people often say, from the age of 1 to 10, it seems that you have lived a long time, from 10 to 20, it feels like you have done a lot, and after that, life is like sitting in a car. The year has passed like a rocket, and there is no time to reflect on it.

In fact, it’s not that time is getting faster, but that people have become more stable and there are fewer and fewer things worth remembering.

In childhood or adolescence, many of people's experiences are unprecedented and full of freshness.

Countless first experiences are always shocking to people, and they are always unforgettable. It is those first experiences that are still fresh in people's memories, which set the benchmark in people's memory, making them memorable and even unforgettable. .

The longer people have it, the harder it is to obtain the freshness of life. Repeating boring old experiences will always make people tired and tired, just like looking at an oil painting, the first bright colors will eventually change with repeated viewings. And gradually lost its original charm.

After a year is over, when people look back on it, they will not be able to remember what they have done or experienced, and the days have passed without doing anything.In fact, it's not that you didn't do many things, but that your brain is too lazy to remember those same similar shots.

This is precisely because the initial experience is so shocking that people keep looking for their first love.

But in fact, most people are not looking for first love, but the first shock in life. They just want to go back to the stage of being constantly shocked. After all, the same boring life is too boring.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that stressed species slow down their body temperature.

But now in Clark's eyes, the upset caused by Annie's waiting is what he envies, because even if he has a gun pressed to his head, it is difficult for him to have any big emotional reaction. After all, he is already in the hospital day after day. Numb from the torment.

Just when Annie wanted Clark to call Joey again, the originally noisy office hall suddenly became silent. Clark also got up from the table, went to the door and opened the office door.

What comes into view is the high-spirited and only son Joey Bode.

Those employees who had seen him stood up and watched this beloved and hated legend return to the battlefield.

Joey waved to them. Although there was little response and most of the employees almost cried, he seemed to enjoy the reaction very much and raised his eyebrows at Clark proudly.

This was a bit new to Clark. He had also heard of it, and this was the first time he had seen such a hobby, although he knew that Joey was just keen on acting.

The system was a little confused: "This... I have seen people who like to be feared by others, people who like to be looked at, and people who like to be tortured in various ways. This is the first time I have witnessed this kind of person who really likes to be hated by others. He’s hated, but luckily I didn’t choose him.”

Clark asked: "Isn't that what you are?"

"I like to be afraid of others..." The system suddenly realized that it was about to leak: "I'm afraid of... being afraid of being frightened. I'll clap my hands and call the system master powerful."

Clark sneered angrily. He didn't know whether it was for the system or for Joey Bode. Joey walked up to Clark, lifted up the cane and held it by the middle, and raised it gracefully in front of Clark.

Clark took a deep breath, reached out and took the cane and said, "Stop acting and get down to business."

Anne said tentatively: "Uncle Joey, I heard from my father how much you have taken care of me and my mother in the past 20 years."

"Uh-huh"

Joey cleared his throat and sat across from Annie's desk. Facing Annie's probing gaze, his dim old eyes kept dodging. He raised his old hand and rubbed his chin hard several times before he made a fool of himself. He smiled awkwardly. Obviously not mentally prepared.

At this time, Annie saw Old Joey's change of behavior and the somewhat embarrassing wry smile, and realized that what Clark said was true.

She stood up slowly, and under Old Joey's expectant gaze, she took out a stack of information from the filing cabinet and placed it in front of Old Joey.

"..."

Joey didn't know what he was expecting. He opened the file wordlessly and took a quick look at it. It was all smear news about the Imperial Group against the Clinton Group. He closed it immediately and asked Clark and Annie: "That's it"

"What's the meaning."

Clark didn't understand the media, and Annie also relied on her best friend Tracy Walker for help. However, Tracy had no way to deal with such overwhelming, endless and confusing gossip. The advice she gave was to keep passing the news. Media whitewash.

Joey patted the file and asked Anne: "Given the reputation of the Clinton Group in Hell's Kitchen, what methods do you think the Imperial Group used."

Anne answered without hesitation: "Let the residents of Hell's Kitchen think that the Clinton Group is going to abandon them in exchange for greater interests with the Imperial Group."

Joey asked again at this moment: "What's the solution?"

"Have a media spokesperson with enough authority declare that the Clinton Organization will never consent to the acquisition of the property in Hell's Kitchen."

Annie was a little hesitant this time, because she had tried this trick before, and her prestige was simply not trustworthy enough for the people of Hell's Kitchen.

"Yes, of course a 20-year-old girl cannot gain the trust of those at the bottom of society. You don't live there and you don't care about their lives. Even if people know you, they don't understand you who are above you." Joey said with a straight face. He continued: "Liv had been living in Hell's Kitchen back then, and was revered as Queen Clinton by the locals. It was precisely because people understood how valuable she was, which could be seen with their own eyes. Although you also have such a It’s a title, but it’s just a gimmick hyped up by the media. In the eyes of local residents, you haven’t even established it, so how can you gain trust and prestige?”

Annie was about to cry after being woken up. Her eyes were red and slightly lowered, and she said nothing.

"This method of the Emperor Group is very old-fashioned and outdated, but it is also very practical."

Joey acted like a stern instructor at this moment. He stood up and walked to Annie, directly picked up a pile of documents that he had reviewed today beside her, quickly looked through them and asked, "Can I get a project contract worth over [-] million yuan?" Understand why these purchase orders of just over [-] are also there."

Annie quickly defended: "I doubt the company..."

"Shh" Clark signaled Annie to stop talking and let her listen carefully to Joey's words.

Joey sighed and whispered: "This is a common shortcoming of every large and established enterprise. You can talk about it in a big way, but you can't do it by yourself. You are too young and too naive. Let me guess, Are those old guys working against you all day long, advising you to be acquired as soon as possible, or to sell things?"

After seeing Annie nodding, Old Joey laughed and said: "This is normal. If it doesn't happen like this, they will have no luck and worry about being exposed. When they can't shake your absolute control, all they can think of is to join forces. Resist you, isolate you, make you overwhelmed and make mistakes while busy, and then make you admit failure and break up the team as soon as possible, and go your separate ways."

Annie finally couldn't hold back her tears, and Clark quickly stepped forward to hug his daughter. Uncle Joey comforted her by saying that it would be good for you to learn from the experience, and it would be good for you in the future. He also took tissues and wiped his tears.

Joey's face suddenly turned yellower than a lemon. He pointed at Clark and said, "You can understand the media if you don't understand it, but you have already seen it. Let me speak."

"I don't have the ability."

This time it was Clark who raised his eyebrows proudly. He would not admit such a thing.
