Chapter 102
On the third day after Wilson's press conference, Joanna was called to her office.
As soon as Joanna entered, she found that the atmosphere in the office was more depressing than usual.Wilson turned around slowly, pointed to the chair beside the desk: "Sit down."
There was no third person in the room, so there was no need for Joanna to pretend anymore, she sat down on the chair naturally: "Any new trends?"
"Rodriguez asked for a ministerial meeting." Wilson looked preoccupied, as if he was not very willing to face this situation, "and Fury agreed. To be honest, I can't think of what Fury can do. Reasons for refusal. Although the specific situation is not clear yet, Rodriguez is very dissatisfied with our press conference and a series of subsequent actions."
Joanna nodded: "It's understandable, after all, it disrupted his plan. It's normal for him to have opinions."
"I've heard rumors that he is going to abolish the public relations department."
Joanna was taken aback.She knew Rodriguez would fight back, but she didn't know that he was so violent when he came.
"Does he have this authority?"
"That's why he called the ministerial meeting. I asked John to sort out the data. The operating and maintenance costs of the public relations department are indeed not low. If the public relations department is used to cut expenses, it is not completely unreasonable."
Joanna sighed.This is not a war of words with people on the Internet. Joanna is not familiar with administrative internal adjustments at all.
"However, the PR department has a lot of confidential information about S.H.I.E.L.D. If the PR department is banned in this way, aren't they afraid of leaking the secrets?"
"It's just to ban the department. Even if it is really banned, I don't think Rodriguez will be so stupid as to fire all the employees. There is a high probability that they will be assigned to other departments." Wilson sighed, " I have to say, it's really...difficult to confront the Special Operations Department head-on."
Joanna didn't answer, she propped her chin and didn't know what she was thinking.
Wilson waited for a long time without waiting for an answer, so he glanced at Joanna: "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking... Maybe Rodriguez didn't want to attack the PR department? His target is Fury." Joanna pursed her mouth. "Whether there is a PR department doesn't affect him much. If he If I became the director. If I were Rodriguez, I would not have conflicts with other ministers, and I would point my gun at the director's chair."
Wilson thought for a while: "Do you think Fury will stand up and speak for the PR department?"
Joanna shook her head.
"If Rodriguez thinks the same as you, he won't really do anything to the PR department, but he will definitely take you as one of his targets. Fury will help you?"
Joanna shook her head, more firmly this time.
After a while, Joanna raised her head and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Wilson shook his head: "Do you want to go on the day of the meeting? Under special circumstances, the minister can summon employees to attend the meeting to explain."
"Fine. If you think it's necessary. Now..." Joanna stood up, "I have to think about how to write a resume."
Although she said that she was going to write a resume for a job application, Joanna returned to her desk and started browsing the forums online.She is not so confident that she will never be fired, she just feels that if being fired is inevitable, she should seize the opportunity to fix it at home instead of throwing herself into another labor relationship. middle.What's more... this matter is not a foregone conclusion yet!Even if her arm really can't twist the thigh of the Special Operations Department, before breaking it, she still has to break it with the other party, right?
There have been some different voices on the Internet that have gradually attracted everyone's attention.Joanna had to admit that the AI named Jarvis created by Tony was really easy to use.She didn't expect that the other party would complete what she requested so beautifully.Although from the current point of view, a little bit of different voices full of conspiracy theories will not change the situation, but for Joanna, this will be an important basis for her next turnaround.
The biggest advantage of individuals against |organizations | organizations is that the masses are more likely to empathize with individuals.After all... No one will be fine at home thinking "My S.H.I.E.L.D. has been screwed this time", but many people are secretly thinking "If I have Rickman's resources, what should I do?" It won't capsize."
As long as someone voiced doubts about S.H.I.E.L.D., Joanna would have more than half of what to do next.
At lunch time, Joanna didn't go to the restaurant of S.H.I.E.L.D.In fact, she hasn't been to a restaurant for a long time.Although the employees of S.H.I.E.L.D. are not gossiping like ordinary employees of private companies, Joanna, the colleague who put S.H.I.E.L.D.
Steve glanced around the restaurant but didn't see Joanna.Out of caution, he didn't contact Joanna, nor asked others about Joanna's whereabouts with much fanfare.He acted as if he didn't care about these public opinion events, went straight to buy food, found a table by the window and sat down alone.
"Can I sit here?"
As soon as Steve looked up, he saw Rumlow standing at the table with a plate.Steve raised his eyebrows indifferently: "Please."
Rumlow put down his plate and sat down opposite Steve.
"Sorry Captain."
Steve looked at Rumlow: "What?"
"I feel I owe you an apology. I feel… ashamed for my inappropriate behavior during this mission."
Steve pursed his lips and stared at Rumlow's face scrutinizingly.Rumlow was very calm.
"I shouldn't have behaved in the middle of the mission that day..." Rumlow pursed his lips, "It's too emotional. I didn't mean to embarrass you, Captain."
Steve was silent for two seconds, and then said in a calm tone, "I'm not the one you should apologize to."
Rumlow nodded: "I understand what you mean. I just think I should say 'sorry' to you. Of course, I will communicate with that guy again, provided that he stops talking stupid things."
Steve pursed his lips, not expressing any opinion.
Seeing that Steve had no intention of talking, Rumlow also fell silent, and the two finished their lunch in a strange atmosphere.
Rumlow left one step ahead of Steve.He behaved very naturally, and Steve observed for a long time, but couldn't find a trace of abnormality in him.
If possible, Steve really wanted to find Joanna right now and ask him about Rumlow.But the only thing he can do now is to wait and see what happens.
Joanna, who didn't go to the S.H.I.E.L.D. restaurant, didn't casually eat lunch with sandwiches in the office as usual.She left S.H.I.E.L.D. with her satchel on her back. When passing through the security check, she calmly said that she was ordered to communicate with the local media on daily affairs.
The security staff apparently didn't believe her.With such a situation, can the public relations department continue to let her contact the media with peace of mind?But doubts are doubts, Joanna has completed the procedures, and the security personnel have no reason not to let Joanna go out.
After leaving S.H.I.E.L.D., Joanna took the nearest bus, followed the prompts on the electronic map, and got off the bus after five stops.She walked along the main road for a while, then turned into a small alley, and through the alley, Joanna walked for about 20 minutes.Finally arrived at the place agreed in the text message.
It was an old park that was slowly becoming vacant due to the rezoning of the recreation area two streets away.There was a for sale sign at the door, and a smartly dressed woman was standing with her back to Joanna.
"Miss Lane." Joanna stopped in her tracks.
Louise Lane turned her head and nodded at Joanna: "I thought it would take a while for you to come."
Joanna laughed: "You promised to see me, of course I have to run fast."
"I've never seen you be so polite to reporters before." Louise raised the corners of her mouth and mocked Joanna without pain.
"I don't... I need something from others." Joanna walked up to Louise, "I think Clark Kent is also very miserable about this incident."
Louise stared at Joanna's face, and said after a while: "It's nothing to be miserable. At least his personal information hasn't been leaked."
"Okay, but I'm in the Daily Planet, and everyone knows that it's him."
"But that's not true."
"That's right." Joanna nodded, "It's not true. Mr. Kent once mentioned to me that he intends to make the truth public. But so far there has been no movement."
Louise took a breath and defended: "The situation of the newspaper office is very complicated, Clark..."
"I don't mean to blame him. In fact, when he proposed the idea, I vetoed it."
"You...vetoed?" Louise showed an unbelievable expression.
"Of course, because of other considerations. But..." Joanna sighed, "Now I need Mr. Kent to stand up and clarify the misunderstanding with me."
"Why don't you talk to him directly?"
"There are many reasons. In short, I want to ask you to persuade him."
"Why do you think I will do what you say?"
Joanna smiled: "You are Louise Lane who won the Pulitzer Prize. People need the truth. And I need to announce the truth at this time."
"What are you planning?" Louise asked cautiously.
"Thinking about how to save my life." Joanna gave Louise a bleak smile, "It's a pleasure to talk to you, Miss Lane. But I should go back now. Looking forward to your good news. "
After Joanna finished speaking, she left Louise behind.On the way back, she bought a hot dog and ate it up on the bus.Two rows of seats away from her sat a young man.He probably recognized her as the latest topic of conversation, so he kept taking pictures of her with his mobile phone.Joanna squinted at the past, and the young man quickly put the phone away.
Two minutes later, a new video was uploaded on the Internet.In the video, Joanna Rickman sits alone in the back of the bus, gnawing miserably on a hot dog without even a Coke in her hand.
The video has a title:
The protagonist of the xing harassment|harassment incident is suspected to be expelled from S.H.I.E.L.D., homeless, and eating hot dogs on the bus.
Joanna frowned after watching the video, then raised her head and glared at the young man again.
Thank you for holding a new mobile phone!Doesn't the filter work? !Spicy chicken!
