Chapter 775: 775

Rick Rosen came to the company early in the morning as usual. Every Monday, the company holds a regular meeting. The meeting is chaired by senior partners in turn. Today is Rick's order, but he had some business last night, so he arrived at the company today. Five minutes late.

Rick walked quickly to the conference room, his assistant Jim Snow (Jim. Snow) walked up quickly, "You're late, the meeting has already started."

Rick frowned while taking the information that Jim handed him, "What did you say?" In the absence of the host, regular meetings are not allowed, because the content of the meeting is in his hands at the moment , This is the report of the company in the past week and the schedule of the next week.

"Marvin is already inside." There were so many people around, Jim couldn't really say anything more, he just said a simple sentence, and the alarm bells suddenly rang in Rick's mind.

Rick quickly opened the door of the conference room, and then saw that all the senior partners were sitting in their seats, and Marvin Josephson was sitting in the chair of the host, talking freely, and the atmosphere in the conference room was very good. It's dignified, and everyone's expressions are a little weird. Rick raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a relatively relaxed tone, "Am I missing something?"

"Oh, Rick, you are finally here!" Marvin lowered his head slightly and looked at Rick from above the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, which made Rick feel very uncomfortable, and then all the senior partners turned their heads. Looking at Rick.

Rick chuckled, "When did the rules change?" In fact, Rick already understood what was going on in his mind. It seemed that Marvin was ready to start taking over the company, but this was at least better than Rick expected. Half a month earlier, could it be said that what Marvin did behind his back was something he ignored? This made Rick's heart tighten.

Marvin took off his glasses, "I want to say, when did the rules change?" Marvin threw the same question to Rick, regained the initiative, and hinted: I am the real owner of this company , you are just a wage earner.

Rick looked at the partners, he noticed that Ron Mayer did not show up, absent from the senior partner meeting? This is not a wise choice, but thinking of Lang's recent actions, Rick is a little more clear, "I don't know what rules you are talking about." Rick still had a kind smile on his face, but he answered a little bit. Don't show weakness, "But I only know that you never showed up after the meeting three years ago, so the rules are a little changed."

Rick is implying that you are the boss, just be the boss behind the scenes, there is no need to come back, there is no place for you here.

But Marvin didn't care at all, and still smiled, "But no matter what, no one can be late for a meeting." Marvin stared straight at Rick with a sly smile, "No one can be an exception, no one! So , Rick, get out!"

The last sentence uses a command statement, and there is no room for negotiation at all. Rick knew that this was a common method used by superiors. Although he didn't like to use it, he didn't mind using this method to gain power, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn to be oppressed in this way today.

Rick realized that the situation was more serious than he imagined, and his eyes floated again, and he immediately grasped a meaning from Ari. Emmanuel's eyes, which was actually to let him not confront him head-on, There are other senior partners staying here, and the news can still be shared.

Rick knew that since Marvin appeared at the regular meeting on Monday, it meant that he was fully prepared. How many of the sixteen senior partners in front of him had already stood on Marvin's side is undocumented, but there is no evidence. Undoubtedly, Marvin would not have been so rash without full confidence.

The entire company, including Rick and Lang, has a total of 18 senior partners, and now the 16 senior partners are all sitting obediently in the conference room. No one violently confronts Marvin, which shows a lot of problems.

Instead of confrontation, Rick obediently left the office. At least, after the confrontation between Rick and Marvin this time, Rick lost the first move.

Rick returned to the office in despair. Years of experience told him that although he was very angry and flustered at the moment, he must not let negative emotions dominate his thoughts, otherwise things would only get worse.

Emotional control, which Rick has always done well.

After standing in the office and taking a few deep breaths, Rick forced himself to calm down, and then called Jim in, "What's going on in the company recently?" Although Rick knew that this was a question for nothing, if even himself If he didn't notice it, then Jim certainly didn't notice it either, but even so, Rick asked, and the most important thing was to calm himself down completely and clear his mind.

Jim immediately said, "Arnold came to the company yesterday to look for you, but you weren't here, and he didn't let me leave a message." As Rick's assistant, Jim was very clear about the recent internal affairs of the company, and he also knew that this day would come sooner or later. , so I made preparations early, "I thought it was nothing, but today..."

Arnold Schwarzenegger! Rick wanted to beat the wall, but he couldn't.

Since Marvin poached Eddie Murphy, Rick has been on high alert. He has communicated with his actors separately in the past, and he is still calculating the possibility of independence - after all, he is alone. It is definitely impossible to start a company without money or people.

But things still got out of control, and Rick immediately thought of the recent rumors about Julia Roberts. Julia had previously stated that he would sign with Marvin. Since the contract between Rick and Julia had ended, he did not No restraint force could convince her at all. However, it has recently been reported that Julia rejected Marvin, and instead is in frequent contact with the creative artist agency.

After learning of this, Rick took action, after all, he and Julia still have a personal relationship, although Julia has completely disappeared from the screen for the past two years - because she is with Kiefer-Sa Selan called off her engagement a few days before her wedding, then eloped with country singer Lyle. Lovett, a sensation, and she was out of action for nearly two years; Leah kept in touch, and the two could be considered friends.

If he can bring a handful of top actresses like Julia into his account, whether he stays at the International Innovation Management Company or establishes his own business, it will give Rick more confidence. So, in the past, Rick has been busy with this matter.

But now it seems that this is a trap, because the progress between Rick and Julia is not much, on the contrary, Marvin has launched a turmoil under his own eyes. Also, Arnold seems to have made a decision.

Rick couldn't help rubbing his temples, "What floor did Arnold go to after he left here?"

Jim shook his head, "He just left." That's why he didn't tell Rick specifically, because there were no obvious signs and everything seemed normal.

Rick thought for a while, went back to his desk, and dialed Arnold's cell phone, but it turned off. He thought for a while, "You call his assistant, I'll call the manager."

The two were busy again, and the result was naturally unsuccessful.

Now it can be determined that Marvin should take advantage of Rick to persuade Julia to bring Arnoldla to the account, or there are other more actions to complete the final preparations for seizing power, and then officially launch today. . I just don't know how many of the sixteen senior partners currently in the conference room have already stood on Marvin's side.

At this moment, the phone outside Rick's office rang. It was Jim's assistant. Jim ran out to answer the phone, and then ran back with an ugly face, "Marvin asked you to go upstairs." Marvin's office was at twenty The fourth floor is one level higher than their senior partners.

Rick's face suddenly turned ugly. Although he was originally dark-skinned, people couldn't see the clues, but the confusion in his eyes revealed his emotions at the moment, "No, let him come down. You tell him, this is No one in this company can tell me where I should go, no one."

Rick seemed very gentle when he spoke, as if he was saying, "Let's go have coffee", but the decisiveness in his words made people shudder. Jim knew that Rick was very angry now, not only annoyed by Marvin's conspiracy behind him, but also by the conspiracy behind him. Annoyed at his own inadvertent omission.

Jim didn't argue any more, he's been with Rick for many years, and he knew Rick's temper, so he turned around and walked out, dialed Marvin's inside line from his office phone, and walked in again, "Marvin wanted Talk to you."

Rick's brows were still wrinkled, but he was slightly relaxed at the moment. If Marvin still wanted to talk to him at this time, it means that things have not reached the decisive moment, and maybe he is not too far behind. The phone rang immediately, and Rick paused for a while before pressing the speakerphone key, "Hello, Marvin."

"Rick, go upstairs." Marvin said directly without going around in circles.

Rick pursed his lips, "Things in the conference room are not that simple."

In fact, what Rick said was that Marvin would be hosting the meeting in the conference room today, and things were not that simple, but Marvin pretended not to hear, "Rules are always rules." What he said was being late. "I apologize."

Rick shook his head slightly, knowing that it was a tough battle, but he said, "It's not a big deal."

"Now you come up." Marvin ordered again.

"No, you come down!" Rick blurted out without giving in, almost without thinking.

Marvin let out a long breath and finally said, "Conference room, neutral zone, two fifteen?"

Rick glanced at the alarm clock. It was one o'clock. "No, it's one thirty."

"make a deal!"
