Chapter 1279 Andy's Experience
Although a writer's imaginative thinking that day often brings unexpected progress to the case, most of the time his words just need to be amused or even heard.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Andy talked about his "tragic experience" when he was an assistant under Miranda at Jack's request.
Andy was a real workplace rookie at that time. She had just graduated from Northwestern University (the top ten "new Ivy League" in the United States) with excellence, and came to New York with ambitions.
Jack learned some of the following things from her when he was on the plane. Now the reason why he asked her to tell her in detail is naturally to tell her about it.
The personal life of the victim Ella is quite simple, and it can even be said to be almost nothing, without a boyfriend or an enemy, at least from what they have learned so far.
So if you want to find out the cause of her murder and find the real murderer based on this, you naturally have to give priority to exploring her work.
Now there is a person who has worked in the same job as Ella, and he started as a newcomer in the workplace and finally won the final recognition of Miranda, known as the "female devil".
Perhaps because it was a story that had happened before, without someone wading into muddy waters, and what Andy told was similar to the movie "The Queen of Prada" that Jack had watched in his previous life.
It was somewhat similar but different from the feeling of the three of them entering the magazine this morning. When Andy, a female academic master who was almost insulated from the fashion circle for more than 20 years before her life, she accidentally entered "The Overpass", she felt more of an extremely awkward incompatible relationship.
It was a colder early winter morning than today. Andy, wearing a pullover sweater, plaid skirt, round-toe thick leather shoes, and carrying a canvas bag, stood silly among the swaying fashion girls.
This contrast is too strong, even with Anne Hathaway's appearance, it can't be suppressed.
Of course Andy is still a little proud inside. She is a serious academic master and she is inevitably dissatisfied with the so-called fashion circle.
At that time, she was like Esposito. Not only did she not know who Miranda was, she couldn't pay much attention to the job as an assistant.
Until the girl Emily, who is also an assistant, told her that as long as she can work as an assistant for Miranda for the past year and get her recommendation letter, she would have no problem going to any magazine or newspaper.
So Andy, full of confidence, accepted the biggest challenge in her life.
Early in the morning, wearing high heels holding Miranda's breakfast, running panting on the streets of New York. After finally squeezing into the elevator, I sat at my desk on time, and threw it over without waiting for a breath.
This is Miranda's fixed action every day when she walks into the office.
Hang clothes, collect bags, order restaurants, notify various meetings, send various invitations or thank you letters, and answer calls from fashion celebrities who never repeat the second time.
In addition, Miranda's daughter had to send the homework book that she forgot to bring to school, help her repair the car, buy surfboards and beach slippers for her twin daughters, and go to LV to get 12 scarves ordered by Miranda.
Contact a certain designer to confirm the interview with a certain magazine, and Miranda took notes while choosing a design.
When Andy gritted her teeth and adapted to this working rhythm, and even devoted herself to it, she was slowly changing.
She was used to following Miranda's work rhythm, and began to learn from the girls in the circle. She put on exquisite makeup before going out every day.
Wearing B&G fashion clothes, wearing Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik's high heels, and carrying all the limited edition Gucci shoulder bags that all trendy girls dream of. But at the same time, Andy also lost a lot, because while integrating into one circle, it inevitably means alienating another circle.
Her former friends were drifting away from her, and her boyfriend, who was rarely together, broke up with him. Even her parents could not understand her daughter.
While feeling sorry for her, they also raised questions, not understanding what she could get after giving so much.
Everyone here is old-fashioned. Except for Cassel, who has been working for himself, the others have some personal experiences about Andy's experience, but they are not as extreme as she has experienced.
As a policeman, the graduation assessment of the police academy is a knockout round. After that, becoming a rookie policeman will be tricked and trained by his old police officer, and will remove bad habits such as impulsiveness or carelessness.
Being from a policeman to a detective is no less than a test of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Beckett is now able to become a senior police detective, commanding the Duo of Huantiao when handling cases, relying on the privileges granted by LGBT or the so-called women's boxing policy.
Therefore, everyone can easily draw a conclusion from Andy's narrative, just like the question Beckett asked with a smile at this time. "So, in fact, Miranda is training you in a way of cultivating successors, and using her own actions to teach you how she became a fashion godmother, am I right?"
Andy replied to the detective with a slightly bitter smile, "I think yes, but this is something that I only realized after I left her."
The story afterwards is somewhat cliché. Although Miranda is known as the "fashion godmother" in New York and is regarded as a god by countless designers and models, she is just a senior worker after all.

When the new major shareholder invested heavily in the magazine and planned to remove Miranda and replaced her current position with a more famous female editor from France, Miranda had to make some compromises while fighting back.
She sacrificed the deputy editor-in-chief who had been loyal to her for 16 years, ruined some promises, and everything was just to protect herself.
Andy, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, finally made up her mind and recognized herself.
She doesn't want to be a person like Miranda, and she doesn't want to sacrifice herself for fame, fortune and status.
"But Miranda still sent a crucial letter of recommendation to the New York Times who you went to apply for after you resigned, right?"
While Jack spoke, he brought everyone a cup of honey and osmanthus stewed milk for each person as a dessert after meals.
This thing is an advanced version of stewed eggs. It only uses egg white and milk to steam it and adds honey and his homemade osmanthus essence. It is sweet but not greasy and very delicious.
Andy hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't stand the test. After trying a spoonful, she couldn't stop at all.
"So although she is strong, domineering, mean and cold-blooded, she should not be considered a bad person, at least not as good as killing someone and throwing the body into the trash can."
