King of Hollywood

Chapter 40: Ivanka's troubles

The turmoil caused by the new director of the planning department subsided quickly, but no one dared to discuss her relationship with the chairman of the board of directors of the head office semi-openly, and fired "Mr. Brutal" Sean as soon as he came? Fassbinder, and also got Vice President William? Arden's agreement is enough to explain the attitude of the head office or the famous chairman of the board of directors who always has genius ideas towards her. {Rainbow Literature Network m}M (DANK AN wins the call fee,

Even if it's impossible to eliminate office culture, even an idiot would know it's inappropriate in this situation, and no one would want to be a second Fassbinder. In addition, there are some people who are not very convinced, such as the directors of other departments, driving away the unpopular guy does not mean anything, if you want to run a department here, you have to be incompetent—so generally speaking , the employees of the subsidiary don't like the supervisors who come by air.

However, that Ms. "Bingshan" - a title that had been widely circulated in the company that day - immediately surprised everyone. The planning document that Spender conflicted with was actually supported by other departments after being supplemented by several people in the planning department. What is surprising is that among the three main personnel who completed the supplementary planning document, one of them is Fassbinder's assistant Jeff? For Fairman, it was precisely because of this that the planning department did not experience any turmoil because of Fassbinder's departure.

"It's unbelievable." Someone said this. Most people in the company are clear about the experience of the former secretary of the new executive. Although there are some exaggerations in many places, it is a fact that she has no higher education. It is also a fact that he has worked in the position of secretary assistant for almost seven years. The planning department came up with an idea that most executives valued when he came here. This is a bit exaggerated.

"Don't forget, what is the relationship between her and the big boss who never lacks in creativity." So someone said this, which is true. You must know the most popular reality shows at present, from "Survivor" to "Old Man" Big Brother, from "Millionaire" to "America's Next Top Model", it is the big boss with countless titles who first proposed the prototype, among which "Survivor" once reached 50 million at the end of the second season more viewers!

Since he can support his woman to exercise power at will, it seems normal to come up with such an idea to pave the way for her, which is... really enviable.

However, some people also raised different opinions: "If it's just like this, I'm afraid it's a big mistake. How can the people in the planning department be subdued just by firing Fassbender?"

"That's right, think about how much that big boss has done since the early 1990s. He can't handle the company's affairs every day. A woman who can be a secretary assistant by his side for 7 years may not be just a vase. .” Someone agreed.

As a result, the popular topic in the office has gradually shifted from the relationship between Ms. "Bingshan" and the chairman of the board to Ms. "Bingshan"'s ability, and it is expected to become a hot topic among employees for a long time in the future. After the show called "American Idol" came out and the results came out.

"Can the ratings of this show reach 50 million people?" In Adrian's office, Charlize asked in formal attire, but she was sitting in his arms. Because Adrian thought that with her gone, the number of times he would sit in his arms would be less and less in the future, so he had to seize all the time to enjoy it.

Although Charlize felt that he was a bit too childish, she had no intention of refusing her eyes, and she would hardly refuse such things now. Moreover, what Adrian said is right, she has already gone to work, and the number of meetings will be much reduced in the future. This position will be occupied by Ivanka for a long time. Although she is very open, she is not particularly open. .

"Of course it's impossible. It's just luck that "Survivor" can have such a high ratings." Adrian kissed her neck from time to time, enjoying the feeling of rubbing hands together. Waterloo, they all wanted to prove themselves when making the second season, and there were not many reality shows at that time. Don’t worry, if this show is done well, there will definitely be an average of 20 million viewers.”

Of course, this is "American Idol", a national entertainment TV talent show, the most direct way to realize the American dream. If the senior executives see the potential value of this show, then they can all step down. Moreover, the production of "Pop Idol" in the UK has not yet started. An old program is similar to this one in the way of drafting, so now it has completely become an American original, which is enough to make ab history.

If Fox found out that the show was supposed to belong to them, I'm afraid they would have to vomit blood, but so what? In the future, full-scale competition between the media and news corporations will be indispensable, and anyone will do such a thing as attacking the opponent first.

"Speaking of which, there are still a lot of talents in the planning department. At least they know that for a program that has just been released, the characteristics of the judges are more important than the fame." Feeling Charlize's soft and soft body, Adrian said again, "By the way, I have a good candidate to recommend. Simon? Cowell, British, is a senior consultant of BMG and has his own music label. This guy is merciless when he speaks harsh words, and he will definitely become a big attraction. .”

In addition, Adrian was also wondering if he could take Ryan? Seacrest also poached here. It seems that he should still be the host of the small TV station. With this Jia Cowell, you should be able to maintain the level of hosting and commenting. As for the rest, let’s leave it to the other side. I can’t take care of everything, otherwise it will lose the meaning of paving the way for Charlize .

"I see, but someone suggested that it's better to add a more funny black person to the judges. They think Randy Jackson is very good." Charlize nodded to mark it down.

"Really? This is indeed a good candidate." Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is this a coincidence or something? But it doesn't matter, there is only one problem now.

"Don't be too aggressive. It's best to take your time. There is plenty of time now. The audition can be held in the autumn, and the finals can be held in the spring." He looked at her and said seriously.

The planning document that was originally handed over to the planning department was edited, and many comments from Adrian were eliminated. This is what Charlize requested, and it needs to be used to test the response of the planning department and the abilities of each staff, but...

Eyes narrowed slightly, the girl put her forehead on his head and asked in a blunt tone: "Am I the kind of woman who doesn't know who I am?"

Adrian laughed dumbfounded. What he was worried about was that Charlize wanted to show his abilities too much right away, which would cause some accidents in "American Idol" and affect the ratings. After all, all the ideas came from him. Of course, he also understands that his worries are unnecessary. You know, it was Charlize who took the initiative to ask her to handle the affairs of the planning department. Before that, he had a very clear understanding of the various situations of the planning department, and had considered all kinds of plans. , the preparations are quite adequate.

Like will Sean? The fact that Fassbender was kicked out from the planning department, everyone only saw him as the vice president William? Ardern's nephew, so swallowed his arrogance, but only Charlize noticed the word "far away". After a little research, she was sure that as long as she had the reason, Arden would not say anything even if Fassbender was fired.

The fact is exactly the same, Arden has more than one distant nephew, and the relationship with Fassbender is very ordinary, and it is just a favor to let him go to work. What's more, as a high-level executive, he knows Charlize's status and ability better than the employees below. Of course, he won't offend Adrian for such a useless guy—he has been the deputy director of the planning department since he arrived, and he is still the deputy director after two or three years. The supervisor, who has some ability but doesn't seek to make progress, is naturally regarded as a sacrificial son.

Although Charlize was able to find such things because she had the advantage of unobstructed information, after all, she controlled Adrian's assistant team, and was sometimes considered to be half the chairman of the board of directors, but she was the only one who collected information from this place in recent years. Information and then get the other party, I have to say that opportunities are only given to those who are prepared.

In addition, her method of integrating the planning department is also remarkable. She only drove away Fassbender, did not pursue other people's problems at all, and reused Jeff? Fellman, the former assistant to the deputy director, made a statement and set an example through him and the other two staff members, so Adrian's worries were completely unnecessary.

But he still reminded him, and he reminded him very seriously in front of Charlize, which means nothing needless to say, so the girl immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately until she knocked on the door. sounded.

At this time, the new secretary who came to the office without notice will only be the official new secretary. Although Ivanka was stunned when she came in, she quickly packed up her emotions and brought a document to Adrian. Ask him to sign, even if he purposely put his hand into Charlize's blouse from above and kneaded it in front of her, pretending he didn't see it.

"She seems to be in some trouble." Charlize, who knocked off Adrian's hand as soon as Ivanka left, said, "The brow has been slightly frowned."

"Of course she's in trouble, but it's not serious." Adrian chuckled, a little sly and complacent, and Charlize knew what Ivanka's trouble was after a little thought.

"Poor Donald," she sighed immediately.

That's right, Ivanka's trouble is that her current job is known by her father. This was a normal thing. She had been an intern before, so Charlize was with Adrian most of the time. Many people didn't know that he was planning to get a new secretary. However, after Charlize left and Ivanka officially took over as secretary assistant, it was impossible to hide this matter any longer, and because "The Apprentice" was about to be aired this fall, Donald? Trump will come to Los Angeles at least once a month-although most of the shows are produced in Hollywood or Burbank, the headquarters is still in New York after all, and there are still studios there, and shows can also be produced if necessary.

But now, as long as Trump can maintain close contact with the media, Trump will do it, so naturally he knew about it immediately.

"I don't understand, Yi Ni, I don't understand, why is this? If you want to work part-time to earn some pocket money, there are a lot of job opportunities, don't you do a good job as a model? If you want to earn money through internships Credits, there are many opportunities in my company, why do I have to go...to the media, to...be Adrian's secretary?" At home in Los Angeles, Trump was talking to Ivanka with a headache .

Although he can be regarded as a playboy, and the models he has chased are in double digits, but as a father, he definitely does not want his daughter to associate with a playboy, even if it is just to work beside him.

"Is there any problem with this? Or do you think my ability is not enough to be a secretary assistant?" Ivanka asked indifferently.

"No, of course not, you will have no problem taking up any relevant positions based on your grades at Stanford University, I just want to say...just want to say..." Trump tried to organize the words in his mind.

"What your father means is that you should focus on your studies now, and the media is a large conglomerate company. If you spend too much time on work, no matter how good your internship performance is, if you don't Completion of required subjects may fail to graduate." Melania stood up and explained to Trump at this time.

"Yes, anyway, you have only spent one semester at Stanford, and you still have a lot to learn. It is impossible to work in the company around the clock." Trump nodded quickly.

"Your news is out of date, Dad," Ivanka still looked indifferent, "If you take the time to go to Stanford Business School to find out, Dad, you will find that I have taken most of the required courses. After I finished my self-study, I was approved by the academy when I came out to practice, so you don't have to worry about this aspect at all."

Seeing that her father was about to speak, Ivanka jumped ahead and spoke again: "Okay, Dad, I'm already an adult, I know what I'm doing, and I have the right to choose my own path and arrange my own life. I don't You'd give up your current job, you don't know how important this job is, just think about the salary and benefits."

After she finished speaking, she turned and prepared to go upstairs: "I'm going to rest, can we talk about something later, I've been busy since Charlie left."

Trump smiled wryly, and after exchanging glances with Melania, he suddenly caught up with his daughter.

"Yini..." He stopped her, hesitated for two seconds before lowering his voice and asked, "Are you and... Are you and Ed..."

"Yes, we had sex," Ivanka said without a moment's pause. "He is indeed a playboy, but he is always gentle and considerate to women-don't worry, Dad, I know what I'm doing."

Even so, Trump still rolled his eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth.

"By the way, Dad, I may have to move out in a few days." Ivanka said again when she thought of something.

"Why?" Trump asked immediately, "Isn't it good to live at home? Anyway, Mela and I don't often go to Los Angeles."

"I said at the age of Ed that I should try to be completely independent. You can't make me always do what you want, Dad, even if it's good for me." Ivanka said seriously.

"Damn it, it was Ed who said it again." Trump sighed, with a hint of grief in his tone.

"Since what he said is correct, why didn't you listen?" Ivanka showed a calm expression, and did not notice her father's expression.

"So, where are you going to live?" Trump asked after a few seconds of silence.

Ivanka, who has always been articulate, paused this time, and then said in an uncertain tone: "It should be closer to the company, so it is easier to deal with work matters."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked upstairs without stopping, and Trump let out a long sigh when her daughter's back disappeared from sight.

"Don't be like this, my dear, the child will have his own ideas when he grows up, you can't think about everything for her." Melania came over to comfort her at this time.

"Yes, I know, but..." Trump sighed again, "Ed this guy... I have to talk to him, right now!"

Although Trump went to Adrian's office the next day, this approach was meaningless.

"What are you worried about? Don? Yi Ni is a very cute girl. As long as there is a spark between a man and a woman, anything can happen, isn't it?" Sitting on the sofa and talking to Trump Adrian said sincerely.

"Yes, I know," Trump raised his legs and lowered them from time to time, "but you won't marry her, will you?"

"Yes." Adrian admitted it straight away. Trump knew he had a child, so there was no need to deny it.

"This is what I'm worried about. If it's just a one-night stand, it's fine. It's normal for a man to have sex with a woman. But you obviously can't promise her, and you still keep her by your side to attract her. What kind of father can do that? Tolerate this kind of thing? I don't want Yi Ni to be hurt!" After speaking, Trump was obviously agitated.

"That's exactly what I want to say, Don." Adrian also became serious. "Don't you think you've protected Yi Ni a little too much? Yes, she is a good girl, well-bred and not overreaching." , no bad bad habits, compared to those rich girls of the same age who like to spend money, she is a model, but at the same time, she is also an ornamental stone, which has been rounded since birth. I watched the recorded " The first episode of The Apprentice, you know, I really like your phrase 'you, fired', that kind of tone fully shows the confidence and majesty of a successful businessman who has experienced several ups and downs, but, can you imagine Ivan Does it look like Ka said this sentence?"

Trump was silent.

"Maybe under your arrangement, she can smoothly enter your company to work, and then find a suitable man to marry according to your requirements, but this will only make her more and more mediocre," Adrian continued, " Once you get a real blow, that kind of injury can't be healed easily, if you don't do it well, it's likely to ooze pus on a regular basis, making people suffer for a long time, and you, can you take care of it forever?"

I have to admit that Adrian's words were very convincing, and Trump didn't react until after leaving. What does these things have to do with his relationship with Ivanka? However, he only remembered it after he left, which proved that he had already partially accepted it in his heart. Thinking about his daughter's attitude, it was obvious that it was irreversible for a while. That being the case, it's better to think about how to get more benefits from it first, you can't just forget it like this, and, thinking about the words of your daughter, it seems that the total power in the media is not small.
