King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 65 Force Majeure

In Nottingham in the early morning, there is a busy atmosphere everywhere. The pedestrians on the road look in a hurry, and the speeding wheels set off waves of water behind them, not knowing where they are going.

With the patter of rain, the whole city is in motion. The slowly moving tram, the vendors selling along the street, the blast furnace with billowing smoke, Nottingham also seems to wake up, and finally start a new day. Live.

Elena is very used to leaving for the company at this time. She didn't want to open an umbrella, but she hated the feeling of rain getting wet, and she hated rainy days very much.

"Damn weather!".

With a secret curse, Elena still put on a black long-handled umbrella.

The air feels full of damp water vapor, which makes Elena feel even more uncomfortable.

In the second half of the year, she is about to graduate. As an outstanding student in the Department of Journalism at the University of Nottingham, she won an internship in the Daily Mirror.

It is foreseeable that she will follow the path paved by her predecessor Patricia to become a female journalist struggling in the front line of the British newspaper industry.

This is her fifth month of internship at the "Daily Mirror", and it is not short in terms of time. Many old employees like her very much.

Among them, there are naturally many Elena suitors, and of course there are also some female seniors who have taken her.

Elena's humble attitude and outstanding work enthusiasm made her colleagues look up to her, and they all felt that she would naturally become one of them after graduation.

Things are indeed moving in this direction. Since Elena and Patricia gave Wei Xun an exclusive interview, they have become the "Daily Mirror" full-time responsible for Notts County and England's low-level league news. Of the frontline reporters.

She can always find a little bit of inside information from Wei Xun and Notts County that no one else can get, which also makes her position in the "Daily Mirror" soaring.

Elena's current figure is the envy of many peers, the proportions are very well-proportioned, well-proportioned to the point of almost perfect. Coupled with her fascinating face, delicate skin that can pinch water, and short golden hair close to the ears, it gives people a very spiritual feeling.

Many colleagues think this is Elena's unique advantage as a reporter.

But she didn't like to waste time fighting wits and courage with those men. If possible, she would prefer them to be straightforward.

But unfortunately, due to the bad feelings the first boyfriend brought to her, the current Elena has a deep resistance to men.

In fact, the student apartment of the University of Nottingham is only 10 minutes away from the office of the Daily Mirror in Nottingham, but Elena is used to departing from the apartment 30 minutes in advance, which is why she has had one time since her internship for five months There is no reason for being late.

Even in such bad weather today, Elena still arrived at the company five minutes early.

"Elena, Editor-in-Chief Carl wants you to come to his office!"

As soon as Elena walked into the office, before she was next to a stool, a colleague immediately notified her to go to the editor's office.

As an intern, Elena is undoubtedly very qualified.

She has done very well, but she feels that it is not enough.

Hearing the editor's call, Elena immediately placed her own things, found out her breastplate and put it on, simply tidied herself up, put on some makeup, and confirmed that there was no problem, and then walked to the editor's office.

"Boom boom boom..."

"In..."

"Editor in chief, are you looking for me?"

"Ah, it's Elena, sit down!"

The editor-in-chief Carl Shumpert is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has been in the "Daily Mirror" for 20 years. He is a native of Nottingham, otherwise the headquarters will not arrange him to host the Nottingham branch. jobs.

If he put aside his empty head, Carl definitely belongs to the kind of mature and attractive man.

Unfortunately, the editor-in-chief Carl is still handsome when he has hair, as you can see from the photos he put on his desktop.

Elena sat down opposite Carl Shumpert, quietly waiting for the editor's inquiry.

Soon after Carl Shumpert finished the work at hand, he stared at Elena for a while before he said:

"Uh... Elena, I want to know how long have you been here for us?"

"The editor-in-chief of the report, excluding today, it has been five months!"

Elena is very sensitive to numbers, so she calculates this time very clearly.

"Well, five months is not too short, it is almost half a year. In the past six months, your work attitude and achievements are obvious to all, and colleagues are also full of praise for your abilities, especially when you are acquiring Notts County. There are also unique advantages in the news of China. Personally, I very much hope that you can stay and work."

Carl Shumpert is really charming, and he speaks with a strong masculinity.

Elena's surprise was beyond words. She certainly wanted to be able to work in the "Daily Mirror", but is this true? Elena even couldn't believe her ears.

"Editor-in-chief, you mean, after graduation, I can stay and work in the Daily Mirror, right?"

Elena still asked noncommittal, she was looking forward to the editor's answer.

"I personally very much agree with this arrangement for you, but it's not possible for the time being. You know, newspapers have rules for newspapers, and the news industry also has rules for news industries. No rules can't make a circle."

"Well, I understand! Editor-in-chief, I can wait, as it should be!"

Elena was a little excited, "Isn't it just waiting until graduation to officially sign the contract? Isn't it the case?" Elena didn't think what the editor-in-chief said was abnormal, but thought it was understandable.

"No, Elena, I think, you may not understand what I mean..."

Carl Shumpert's hand was a little nowhere to rest, so he had to scratch his somewhat smooth scalp to ease his embarrassment.

"So, the editor in chief, can you tell me, what do you mean?"

Elena felt a bad breath, just like the weather today. This feeling was terrible. She didn't know what was about to happen, but as a woman, intuition had given her the best answer.

"We can no longer allow you to stay in the "Daily Mirror" for an internship. We received instructions from the headquarters and your father was fired by the headquarters. We were affected by force majeure. The pressure from above made the editor-in-chief helpless. I'm sorry, Elena."

"Larson's kindness to me back then, I have always remembered, but regarding the two of you, I really can't help it."

"Thank you, editor-in-chief..."

Elena was a little aggrieved, but she knew that if her father was fired from the headquarters, then she would be even more hopeless. After all, her internship opportunity was obtained by her father's trust relationship.

Coming out of the editor-in-chief's office, Elena returned to her work station, took off her press card and badge, neatly placed it on her seat, put her bag, and left quietly.

She walked to the gate of the office in a daze, but couldn't help it, turning around again to look inside the newspaper.

She was very reluctant, but she was also helpless. God gave her a beautiful skin, but did not give her a chance to prove her ability. What greeted her was the faint salty taste at the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether it was rain or tears.
