Chapter 1074: Chapter 1014: Curly Wants to Be Famous
George, who was hiding behind the tree, saw Curly leave in a huff and ran after her.
"Curly, Curly..."
"What do you want?" Curly said irritably.
"Did your mother-in-law not agree?"
Curly suddenly stopped in her tracks, pulled a long face at George, and said, "Can’t you tell from my expression?"
"Your mother-in-law must be afraid that everyone would know what you look like. There are so many bad people these days, if they knew what you looked like and kidnapped you, then what?"
Curly argued, "Even eating can choke you to death, and drinking water can choke you... Does that mean people will stop eating and drinking?"
"I can’t argue with you!"
Lost in thought about her future fame, Curly said, "If I could get on TV, my popularity would definitely grow. If I’m famous, I can do a lot of things."
"..."
"George, do you think someone would ask me to shoot a commercial?" Curly said vainly, "I’m already beautiful, I just lack a little fame, right? I want to become an internet celebrity! Open an online marketplace store..."
She knew that being a star was very lucrative. If she could shoot a few commercials, she could make a lot of money, at least more than selling things at school.
"I must get on TV!"
"So, you want fame for money!"
"Of course, it’s also to help my mom. You don’t know how badly people talk about my mom outside. If I go on an interview show, I can clear my mom’s name and make money... George, isn’t that great?"
Curly’s eyes sparkled, which made George’s eyes fixate on her because he didn’t understand why she had so many ideas and so much energy every day.
...
Sienna Johnson didn’t take Curly’s words seriously. The first thing she did when she returned to the company was to assign Preston Keller to the grassroots level.
Preston Keller reminded Sienna Johnson of Walter Klein.
She didn’t need an assistant to make decisions for her, especially when she had already made up her mind.
"President Johnson, what exactly did I do wrong that you had to transfer me to the Human Resources Department?"
Receiving the personnel transfer order, Preston Keller came to Sienna Johnson to seek an explanation.
"Because you took matters into your own hands!"
"So, President Johnson is mad because I privately called your daughter and encouraged her to participate in the interview, right?
Is President Johnson’s tolerance so small? Just because of this, you want to send me to the grassroots?"
"You are exploiting my daughter, which is not a small matter! I won’t allow anyone to scheme against my daughter!" Sienna Johnson sternly said.
Preston Keller laughed, "President Johnson is a lion, so your subordinates should also be lions. Otherwise, what can a lion leading a flock of sheep accomplish?"
"Haven’t you watched the animal world? Male lions are solitary. On one territory, if there are two male lions, it’s a fight to the death."
"..."
Sienna Johnson looked at Preston Keller, saying, "If you were a lion, I wouldn’t dare keep you by my side. Who knows if one day you might want to replace me."
"Women really aren’t suited to leadership!" Preston Keller said, "President Johnson, I want to resign!"
"Hmm, go see Tessa Harrington, she’ll handle it." Sienna Johnson didn’t retain him, making Preston Keller feel a bit uncomfortable.
He knew he was outstanding, having not only a study-abroad background but also excellent abilities at such a small place, and he thought he would be valued, but this woman didn’t take him seriously at all.
"I want to see what happens to Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory in the end."
Sienna Johnson ignored him, continuing with her work, making Preston Keller feel like he had punched cotton, unable to vent his anger, and felt even worse.
Seeing that staying here was pointless, Preston Keller turned and left Sienna Johnson’s office in large strides.
Tessa Harrington came in, patting her chest and said, "Wow, Assistant Keller was so impressive. He dared to openly challenge President Johnson! Bold, very bold!
I was breaking out in a cold sweat for him just now."
"I won’t eat him, why are you worried for him?" Sienna Johnson laughed.
"This place is full of spies, who knows if they’d report to Sixth Master? If Sixth Master finds out, Preston Keller will be in real trouble."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Tessa looked around and whispered, "Really! The other day, when I sneaked a few pieces of your meat, Sixth Master personally called me to warn me."
Sienna Johnson looked up, curiously asking, "What did he say?"
"He said..." Tessa wore a look of suppressed resentment, saying, "He said I’m already a fat peach, and if I keep stealing your meat, I’d turn into a big watermelon."
Pfft... Sienna Johnson couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"Sixth Master, what a sharp-tongued person!"
"Just ignore him."
Tessa: Good grief, that’s Sixth Master, how could a small fry like me dare to ignore him?
"President Johnson, is Preston Keller really leaving?"
"Our place is too small to accommodate him," Sienna Johnson explained.
"It seems hiring someone too capable is also problematic. He doesn’t know his place and even wants to do President Johnson’s job."
Sienna Johnson didn’t mind, "A good secretary is hard to find, you think everyone can be like Vivian Abbey, perfectly satisfying?"
Thinking of Vivian Abbey reminded Sienna Johnson of Noah Phillips.
Back in the day, during her toughest times, it was Noah Phillips who brought Vivian Abbey and Gary Fisher to her, and now Sienna had a sense of things being different from before.
She and Noah Phillips would never go back to how things were.
"President Johnson, President Johnson?"
"Huh?"
"I just asked, if Assistant Keller resigns, should we just agree to his resignation?"
"Of course!"
"But he signed a three-year contract with us, if he resigns now, it’s a breach. If he’s unruly, we can be unkind, if he dares to resign, we’ll make him pay the penalty." Tessa said defiantly.
Sienna Johnson never liked to push things to the limit, always leaving room for future meetings, "Forget it, why make things so absolute. His heart isn’t here, forcing him to stay will only be trouble eventually.
As for the penalty, I don’t care for that little money."
"President Johnson, you’re not only beautiful on the outside but also inside, practically a living Buddha reincarnate," Tessa flattered.
"With Assistant Keller gone, you’ll be taking over his work for now, if you don’t get to it, you’ll have to work overtime."
"Ai... Why is it so difficult to find a secretary like me?" Tessa sighed, not missing the opportunity to praise herself.
"You have to work hard lately, and try to train James Winslow, see how he is? If he’s not up to par, then we’ll recruit again. I refuse to believe we can’t find a suitable secretary."
"Alright."
"..."
"Ai, year after year in the workplace, unknowingly, I’ve changed from a workplace rookie into an old hand," Tessa lamented.
