Chapter 141 Miss Me was fired (please vote)
Hearing what Hawke said, Caroline was confused: "Don't you have a West Coast media and entertainment studio?"
Hoke Said: "The nature is different. In fact, before I came to Los Angeles, I had a plan in this regard, but it has never been implemented. Push forward."
Caroline asked: "Is it not the right time? Or is there not enough money?"
" Both." Hawke thought about cooperation with Brian and Ellie. The meaning revealed in Ka's words: "The most important point is the lack of strong support."
If the cooperation with Brian can achieve the desired results, it should be able to win some support.
California’s media is heavily left-leaning, and they may not need a special voice channel.
Hoke didn’t push, waiting for Caroline to consider.
It's not necessarily true that Miss Me is very capable, but Hawke spent more than half a year training her to be quite obedient.
Although I struggled from time to time, I still fell into bleating.
Another point is that Miss Me is relatively well-informed. She has developed her own news channel after working at Full Speed Public Relations Company for many years.
Caroline is weighing the pros and cons. First of all, working with Hawke is exciting, and secondly, there is a lot of money.
In the past few months, the commission she received from Hawke was seven to eight times the salary of Full Speed Public Relations Company.
Salary is always the key to work.
To only talk about ideals and the so-called platform without talking about remuneration is all a hooliganism.
Caroline said: "Okay, I agree. I will submit my resignation letter when I get back. There is no competition agreement in this industry."
"You can't resign." Hawke called her out, but he didn't ask her to resign. So simple: "You want Full Speed PR to fire you."
Caroline wondered: "Why?"
Hoke asked a few words in a low voice.
Caroline thought carefully and said, "I can guarantee this!"
The two chatted for nearly half an hour, and Hawke left the coffee shop first and went to Brian's villa on Beverly Avenue.
Caroline hurried back to the company and received a call from Sasha halfway.
Director Rooney Chasen informed them of the meeting in half an hour.
On the other side, Hawke met Edward, who was out on business, and came to Brian's villa.
Brian's two assistants, Sandra and Bacon, temporarily moved here to work.
Hawke introduced both sides.
Leaving Edward to get acquainted with the two men, Hawke called Brian into the security room that had just been cleaned up.
Brian turned on the computer and typed on the keyboard. Multiple real-time images appeared on the three screens. The farthest ones could be seen dozens of meters away on both sides of the road.
Hoke did not see the surveillance camera when he came in and said: "The efficiency is fast enough."
Brian smiled: "If you have money, you will be efficient."
Hawke said: "You find a suitable news channel to spread the news about the West Coast Studio cooperating with you, and be natural."
"Leak on your own initiative?" Brian asked: "What are you planning? ?”
Hoke said simply: "Find a way to bury a nail, and don't mention it to anyone else."
Brian nodded: "I understand." He walked out the door: "Sandra, come here."
< br>After the arrangements were made, the two of them went to visit the victim.
The first is Rachel Wood. This female child star was born in 1987 and is already 15 years old. She auditioned for "Interview with the Vampire" as early as 1994, but lost to Claudia in the audition. Kirsten Dunst.
As for whether there are other messy things behind the audition, Hawke might have thought that the United States is extremely strict on child protection and that Hollywood is no longer the Hollywood it used to be.
But now, Hawke dare not say such things, because Hollywood has never changed, and it is even worse than before.
It’s just hidden deeper.
Rachel's mother is Jewish, but Rachel is still not immune.
Hawke met Rachel, who was accompanied by her mother Sarah, and he said directly: "Madam, and Rachel, the following question may be offensive, but in order for us to win this lawsuit, please speak up."< br>
Rachel did not speak, but looked at her mother.
Sarah forced a smile: "You ask."
Hoke will not be more professional than Brian in this regard, so he only asks one question: "Rachel once said to Brian However, during a rehearsal, she was taken into a room by Van Waglen, then tied her hands, put on a blindfold, and displayed it like a commodity?"
Sarah replied: "She was stripped naked. The merchandise was also on display, and many men came during the period.”
She patted her daughter lightly, and then Rachel dared to speak: "This happened twice, and I was violated by two different men respectively. Although I couldn't see them, I could tell from their palms that it was not Wag. Director Lun. "
"Thank you." Hawke said words of encouragement: "You are a strong and brave girl."
The two came out of the single-family house and went to the same house. car.
Brian said: "She is completely controlled by her mother and is a cash cow. She only agreed to join the prosecution because of the possibility of getting a large compensation."
Hoke asked Edward to start the Mercedes-Benz: "The fate of every Hollywood child star is so similar."
"Go to North Hollywood." Brian told Edward the next address, and then said to Hawke: "The rumors in Hollywood are not secrets. The families of these child stars are not bad, at least they are middle-class, but they still bring their children into it..."
Hoke reminded: "You are an attorney, the one who wants to bring light to them."
The two went to Judy and Amanda's home again, and the situation was different from Lei's. Similar to Chel, as a minor, he is naturally under the control of his parents.
The two of them were not wearing blindfolds, but the person who violated them was wearing a mask.
According to the memories of these two people, there were mainly four people, three white people and one black person.
The only difference is that Judy and Amanda are still children's advertising models and have not appeared in any film or television series.
Their parents hated Van Waglen's deception extremely and were sure that their daughter had no hope of becoming a star, so they were even more determined to sue and pursue compensation.
During the car back to Beverly Hills, Brian asked Hawke: "You understand the basic situation, would you like to express your opinion?"
Hoke was very direct: "I don't care about the legal procedures. I understand, from my perspective, there are loopholes everywhere on our side, and even a guy as stupid as a goat like Miss Me can make waves."
He gave an example: "First of all, media opinion, without public opinion support and without direct evidence, cannot crucify Van Wagelen, let alone the people he is related to; the three victims may change their stance at any time because the money reaches the court. Foreign reconciliation; Hollywood’s strong inertia, those who dare to violate Hollywood’s unwritten rules will be crushed by the general trend..."
Brian raised his hand to interrupt Hawke: "I invite you to help because the situation is serious."
Hoke said: "Go back first and wait for a news feedback."
…………
Full Speed Public Relations Company, large conference room.
Director Rooney Chasen stood in front of the long conference table, with the heads and information of Judy, Amanda and Rachel lined up on the projection screen behind her.
On both sides of the conference table, several senior public relations managers, including Caroline, were sitting.
Rooney picked up the laser pointer and pointed at the projection screen: "You mobilize all your connections and channels to comprehensively collect information on these three people and their families, friends and classmates. Material, these people entered the entertainment industry early, there will be a lot of dirty information, I want you all Find them out!”
She emphasized: “If your hometown is not in Los Angeles, go to their hometown and find them. As long as you can find a third party willing to testify, you will give it to me even if they peed their pants on the street. Bring it back!”
This is the company’s absolute authority and no one has any objection.
"The meeting is dismissed!" Rooney almost shouted: "Bitches, hurry up and take action!"
Just as she was about to go out, someone knocked on the door and came in and said: "Director, I just got the exact news that West Coast Media and Entertainment Studio has reached a cooperation agreement with the three people's lawyer Brian Ferguson."
Rooney listened. Passed this name: "I want detailed information about this company!"
She left the conference room and returned to the director's office.
Others also left the conference room one after another.
Sasha quietly came to the director's office when no one was paying attention. Seeing that the glass door was open, she knocked lightly and said, "Director."
Rooney glanced at Sasha and asked: "Is something wrong?"
Sasha said: "I have something to report to you." As if she was worried that Rooney wouldn't listen, she added: "About the West Coast "Media Entertainment Studio."
"Come in and say," Rooney really took it to heart.
Sasha closed the door and said: "When directors Josh Hartnett and Van Waglen came over today, Caroline called Hawke Osment. Hawke is the West Coast director. The boss of the studio. And before calling, she specifically asked me to ask someone about it. Out of curiosity, I asked the assistant in the legal department. " Rooney put down the pen in her hand and stared at Sasha. .
Sasha said: "I didn't think there was a problem with this before, but I just heard the name of West Coast Studio in the conference room, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong."
Rooney interrupted her long-winded words: "Besides these, is there anything else?"
"Yes, yes." Sasha said quickly: " After lunch, Caroline went out. During the period, the director informed her that there was going to be a meeting. I called Caroline to inform her. I heard someone calling Hawke on the phone. "
Rooney stretched out her hand. : "Give me your phone, unlock it."
Sasha took out her phone, unlocked the keypad, and handed it over.
Rooney checked the communication records and found that Sasha indeed called Caroline some time before the meeting.
She returned the phone to Sasha, then called the legal department, and quickly confirmed that Sasha had indeed asked the assistant that morning.
Rooney remembered something again, took out the company's customer record, quickly looked through it, and found information records under the customer records of Steve Nutt and Sarah Parker.
Both of these two people have worked with Hawke Osment, and their public relations managers are both Caroline.
Rooney closed the notebook and asked: "Why did you do this?"
"I am an employee of Full Speed Public Relations first, and then Caroline's assistant." Sasha replied: "It is the company that pays me my salary."
Rooney was quite satisfied: "You did it Very good.”
She picked up the phone and dialed the personnel department number. Waiting for the call to come through, he said directly: "I am Rooney. I am issuing a personnel order. From now on, Caroline Jones will no longer be an employee of Full Speed Public Relations Company. You can notify her to leave."
Sasha left temporarily and went to the public office area to wait.
The HR director immediately took two people to inform Caroline.
Soon, Caroline stepped on high heels and rushed out of the office at super speed. She rushed into the director's office and asked Rooney: "You want to fire me? What's the reason? How can you do this!"
< br>Rooney had no expression on her face: "A loud voice won't solve the problem. You and Hawke Osmond are friends, right? Did you meet this afternoon?"
Caroline couldn't deny it: "That's right. , I did meet Hawke in the afternoon But we are meeting as friends."
"I advise you to pack your things and leave, so as not to lose your last dignity." Rooney glared at her: "You and Hawke Osmond. Do you want me to ask the legal department to investigate carefully during the several cooperations? Are there any financial transactions? Have any company secrets been leaked? "
Caroline's momentum weakened immediately: "We are just doing normal business. ”
Rooney gave her a chance to choose: "Either you leave obediently, or you completely break up, you choose."
After hearing these two options, Caroline was still unhappy and looked aggrieved. , said bravely: "Okay, I'm leaving!"
She came out of the office with a gloomy face.
The voices of Rooney and Caroline had already come from the open door of the office.
Many employees sitting in the public office area are secretly looking here.
Caroline came out of the door, suddenly turned her head to the right, saw her assistant Sasha, and walked straight over.
Sasha held her head high and stared at Caroline without taking a step back.
Caroline asked: "Did you betray me?"
"I am an employee of Quanzhou, and I receive a salary from Quanzhou." Sasha didn't feel guilty at all: "You did harm to me. In order to protect the interests of Quanzhou, I have the responsibility and obligation to report to the company."
Caroline was furious: "You are a shameless traitor!"
Sasha shot back: "You are the one who is shameless."
There was a glass of water on the workstation next to her. Caroline picked it up and splashed it on Sasha's face.
She turned and walked towards the office.
People from the human resources department followed him.
Someone next to me handed Sasha a pack of tissues, who took it and wiped it with water and said, "Thank you."
A few minutes later, Caroline carried two bags, left the office, and left the company.
Rooney came out of the office at this time, glanced at Sasha, and said loudly: "That office, that position, belongs to you."
Sasha said: "Thank you, director. "
Rooney nodded slightly. In fact, she had no confidence in Sasha's ability. She simply said: "Your main task now is to collect information about the three girls and their families. "
"I'll do it right away." Sarah walked quickly towards the office.
Rooney returned to the office, and her assistant followed in and asked: "Director, do you want to adjust the layout of the meeting..."
"It doesn't matter." Rooney said: "Even if we don't do it, they will We will also be prepared for these. As long as we find a breakthrough, it is useless for them to be prepared. I I will defeat them in the most violent way."
She looked at her watch: "I have an appointment with Waglen, Robert Redford, and their lawyer Cheryl, here. Call me in time if anything happens.”
The assistant quickly called the driver.
Rooney already has a comprehensive plan, but it needs the cooperation and support of Wallglen and Redford, as well as lawyers.
.........
Arriving downstairs of the company, Caroline turned back to look at the signboard upstairs. The name of Full Speed Public Relations Company was still dazzling.
She gritted her teeth and no longer had any nostalgia. She came to the red Mercedes-Benz, opened the door and put in a few personal belongings. She got in the car and took out her mobile phone. According to Hawke, she copied the address book and removed it. Signal card, installed in a brand new mobile phone.
Caroline removed the battery from the old mobile phone again, got out of the car and threw it into the trash can.
After doing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and drove away.
Driving and admiring the scenery on both sides of the road, Caroline suddenly discovered that the sky was particularly blue, the sun was particularly bright, and the grass was particularly fragrant...
She followed the address Hawke said and turned onto Beverly Avenue. The villa was quickly found.
After parking the car, Caroline came to the door of the villa and saw Edward's figure through the floral iron gate.
Edward also saw her and came over to open the door: "Miss, are you here? Please come inside."
Caroline made a slap face: "Call me Caroline or Jones Ms.”
Edward led the way and replied casually: "Okay."
Entering the villa, Caroline found that it had been turned into a temporary office space. On a large whiteboard against the wall, Hawke was writing On the mind map, paste photos of the corresponding people.
Brian came over and said hello.
After Hawke finished what he was doing, he asked Caroline: "You were fired?"
Caroline nodded: "I am unemployed."
Brian took the initiative to invite: "Welcome to join our new team."
"Thank you." Caroline said politely, came to Hawke, and asked: "What do you need from me?"
< br>Hoke said casually: "How many calls should I make to liven up the atmosphere?"
Miss Baa's face turned dark.
Brian reminded: "At work, you should be more serious. I have discovered that you can always make the team atmosphere too tense."
Edward brought several bottles of water over and gave each person a bottle.
Hoke looked at the mind map, stared at the photos of the three victims above, and said: "If I guess correctly, your former boss will take action on them."
< br>His words were very direct: "If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised the problem, and the problem will be solved naturally."
"You guessed it right." Caroline entered work mode and came to In front of the whiteboard, next to Pointing to the photo of the victim: "Rooney will mobilize all the power of the company to thoroughly investigate the social networks of Judy, Amanda and Rachel, and find out all the black material about them from childhood to adulthood that may drag down their reputation."< br>
She took a sip of water and continued: "Once a gap is found that can be opened, Rooney will use money, legal and character resources as means to launch the most violent attack."
Edward said: "Now that we know, will she change her strategy?"
"No." Brian shook his head: "This is the most effective way."
Hoke said : "I have seen the three victims and their guardians today. Unless we put them under house arrest, they will no longer Contact outsiders, otherwise such attacks are unavoidable, especially those who have dreams of stardom, and Van Waglun and Robert Redford can provide excellent resources in this regard.”
