The Giants of Light in the Marvel Universe

The reporter came to his office with a calm expression on her face, without the slightest sense of what she had done wrong, and even seemed a little impatient?

Richard flipped through the girl's resume—the resume had been sent to Richard's office before the newcomer came to report, but he just didn't bother to read it.

At this time, he opened his resume and saw the name written in the top column.

"Jessica Jones?" Richard looked up in surprise. "Are you Jessica Jones?"

The girl blinked her distinctive big black eyes: "Yeah, what's the matter? Do you know me?"

Of course I do. This girl has a TV series named after her. How could Richard not know her?

Richard has seen the American drama "Jessica Jones", but he has not finished it.He didn't remember the details. He only remembered that the heroine Jessica Jones was a superhuman with super arm strength and super endurance.

If you look closely, this reporter does look a lot like Jessica, just a few years younger than Richard's impression.But this is also reasonable, after all, the timeline in the American TV series "Jessica Jones" is several years later.

It's just that if Richard remembers correctly, shouldn't Jessica Jones be a private investigator?He remembered that Jessica seemed to be running some "pseudo-name detective agency"?Why did he come here to be a reporter?

Richard glanced at her resume: "Have you worked in a magazine before?"

"Ah."

"Weekly Fashion should be a pretty good magazine." Richard thought thoughtfully, "Why didn't you continue?"

"Because there was an idiot there who harassed me every three days." Jessica recounted with a blank expression, "I gave him a shove."

Richard can imagine what a "push" is by Jessica Jones' standards.On the bad side, that unlucky guy might end up in the hospital for a week.

"Uh, okay." Richard continued to read, "Then I think you worked on "Tracy Says" on the radio later? It was a popular show, and that job should be pretty good."

"I'm familiar with the host." Jessica said lightly, "She introduced me."

Richard just seemed to remember a little.Tracy Walker, the radio host who hosted the "Tracy Says" program, seems to be a good sister who grew up with Jessica. It is estimated that she introduced her previous job in the magazine.

"Then you should be treated well on the radio," Richard said. "Why didn't you keep doing it?"

Jessica Jones' face was still like a lake without fluctuations: "Because there is a fat-headed and big-eared idiot sponsor who wants to wipe Trish's oil, I taught him a lesson."

Richard: ""

Chapter 15 I really don't want to cause trouble

Richard seems to finally understand why Jessica needs to switch jobs so frequently.

In fact, Richard felt a little strange when he first watched the American drama.Not to mention that Jessica Jones has the housekeeping skills of lifting a truck with her bare hands, and aside from the power part, she is also the best private investigator in Hell's Kitchen.Even if she only relies on her detective quality and investigation ability, she should be well-rounded, right?

But this is not the case.Jessica Jones in the American TV series belongs to the kind of difficult households who need to eat subsistence allowances. Due to lack of funds, her detective agency has to be opened in her living room.Even so, she often had to pay rent arrears.

Richard once thought that with her ability, it shouldn't be so bad to find something to do in any big firm.Now he seems to finally have a reason for it.

Turning to the end, Richard said unexpectedly: "Huh? Have you ever worked in the 'Daily Bugle'?"

He was still impressed by the Bugle Daily. Isn't that the exclusive newspaper office of Marvel's beloved and friendly neighbor Spider-Man?The little spider just often takes selfies and sells the photos to the Daily Bugle to earn extra money?

Of course, the person who impressed him the most in the Daily Bugle was the owner of the newspaper, J. Jonah Jameson. That guy is notoriously stingy and violent. He likes to pick on his own employees every three days, often for some goosebumps. Suanmao's trivial things are scolded. Whenever he launches his signature "Hedong Lion's Roar", it is said that he can hear it in the building near the Clarion Daily.

Such a boss bumping into an employee like Jessica Jones would feel like a firecracker bumping into a powder keg. Just thinking about it is exciting.

Sure enough, Jessica continued to say calmly: "I had a quarrel with the boss and smashed his teacup with my bare hands, so I was fired."

Her description was concise and clear, but even Richard could imagine from these simple words that the excitement of the scene at that time was definitely not as simple as she understated it.

The thought of J. Jonah Jameson being so choked up by Jessica that he couldn't speak and didn't dare to attack, Richard felt a burst of joy in his heart.When he was watching the Spider-Man movie, he was very unhappy with this character. After crossing the road, he met this Mr. Jameson by chance, and there was a little friction in words, which further deepened the bad situation. impression.

Thinking of this, he seemed to suddenly feel that Jessica looked more pleasing to the eye!

"So, I'm going to be fired again now?" Jessica asked, but she didn't sound nervous or worried at all, as if "being fired on the first day of work" is nothing unusual. .

Richard glanced at her.

"Oh?" he asked rhetorically. "Do you think you made a mistake that deserves to be fired?"

"I don't think so." Jessica said bluntly. "That fat guy deserves it. Someone should have come out and taught him a lesson."

"If that's the case, why do you think you're going to be fired?"

Jessica hesitated.

"Because it's always been like this before," she said. "Trexy introduces me to a new job, and then there's always some idiot coming up to me. Then when things get better I'll have a big fight with someone, I'll give someone a fat beating when it's worse." She shrugged, "It's the same in the end anyway."

"Or," Richard closed her resume and crossed his fingers, "you should learn to control your temper."

Jessica shrugged: "I tried, it didn't work. Sometimes the faces of those bad guys always like to dangle in front of my fist, like a magnet, I can't help it."

Richard shook his head: "I don't need a commitment, I just need an attitude. I just need to hear you tell me that you're willing to put in the effort, that you're willing to try to get better, and that's enough. Tell me, can you do it? If you can promise it, I'll allow you to stay. You don't want to lose your job again, do you?"

Jessica hesitated, then began to think.

Although it seems to her that the frequency of changing jobs is higher than changing clothes (Jessica is always dressed like that in the show), so that she is already numb to the matter of being fired, but of course she would not want to if she could. fried.

If nothing else, every time she was fired, her good sister, Trish, had to go around and contact other relationships to see if there were other units willing to take in Jessica.It made Jessica feel very bad, she felt like she was a burden to Trish.

Furthermore, today was the first day she was assigned to a new unit.Getting fired on her first day at work was a new record even for Jessica Jones, and she was really embarrassed to face Trish when she went back.

So she nodded.

"I'll try my best to control it," she said earnestly.

"Okay, then you can go back to work." Richard paused, "but your bonus for this month is gone."
