Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Back in Washington, Clark began to seriously consider the assistant job.

Vera's current assistant, Mary, is a typical American blonde beauty and Vera's best friend.

She has been able to serve as Vera's assistant in the past few years. It has nothing to do with the friendship between the two of them. It depends entirely on her excellent work ability...and her strong endurance and tolerance.

Because Vera is really not a good boss to serve.

Although she is not as well-known as Ms. Presley, the editor-in-chief of "RUNWAY", who caused every assistant to be tortured to the point of crying and resigning, but to be honest, few people can keep up with Vera's work intensity and thinking rhythm .

The outside world only saw that the advertising works in Vera's hands were becoming more and more classic, and only saw the famous client companies that Vera was in charge of. Many people in the industry commented sourly on "extraordinary talent", and chose to ignore her. all the hard work.

In fact, behind a good advertisement, in addition to the fundamental support of creativity, there are also a series of labor-intensive and busy tasks such as market research, media planning, advertisement design and production, and communication and negotiation with customers. Pull to supervise and take charge, she is very busy every day.

It can be said that every glory of her is obtained by overdrafting her health and hard work.

And as Vera's assistant, he naturally had to work with her.

Even so, Vera's reputation at Sterling Cooper is better than that of several other creative directors-she never forces her employees to work overtime, and she rarely gets angry and reprimands employees for uncreative proposals.

She often works overtime by herself until early in the morning, and it doesn’t matter if the employees below go home on time. Sometimes it’s too late and she will persuade Mary to get off work and go back first.

And only Mary, who has always been close to Vera, knows that what Vera does is not what everyone thinks is a "kind and considerate boss", but that she has no expectations of her employees at all ==

——"Wouldn't it be better for them to leave? Then I can write my own plan in peace." by. Vera, who doesn't like teamwork at all.

Mary: ...

It's fine if you're busy with work, and it's fine if you work overtime until early in the morning. After all, Vera's salary to Mary is three times that of others.

But the problem is... Mary still has to pay attention to Vera's daily life and diet.

Let's put it this way, if Vera at work is just a workaholic with a paranoid personality and a high desire to control, she can drive people to death in daily life.

Clark didn't feel it at first, but when he and Vera lived with Mrs. Wigner for a few days, he understood it very deeply.

First and foremost: Vera doesn't sleep.

She is an ordinary person, but she can live every day like a war. She is on sick leave, and the wound on her back has not been removed. She has already started to sit at the desk and write and draw all day long.

From six o'clock in the morning to the early morning of the next day, she was able to stay in her room twenty hours a day without going out.

In Mary's absence, Mrs. Wigner yelled at her according to the three meals, expressly forbidding Vera to stay up and work during her convalescence.

But every night, Clark could still hear the hum of a computer engine upstairs.

Once, the unbearable Mrs. Wigner even ran to the third floor by herself and forcefully drove Vera to bed, but after she left, Clark clearly saw Vera quietly turning on the computer under the quilt ==

Clark: ...

——For a qualified assistant, the most important thing is to force Vera to return to her normal routine, and she has to find a way to get her to go to bed when it's time to sleep.

Secondly, because of the non-stop work all day long, Vera's demand for all kinds of refreshing drinks and food is astonishing, almost to the point of sugar addiction.

Next to the workbench in Willa's bedroom, there is a small refrigerator. In this refrigerator, all kinds of food bought by Mary and Mrs. Wigner are stocked up. Most of the upper layer is cakes, cookies, chocolate, macarons, etc. Dessert, the lower floor is a cabinet of soda drinks.

She can finish a whole bottle of the largest 2.5L bottle of Coke in a day—not counting the coffee she consumes every day.

Clark was always puzzled as to why Vera wanted both coffee and Coke, until one day he went upstairs to ask Vera for dinner, and found that the girl had mixed Coke and coffee! !

And after being discovered, he was confident: "Who stopped the production of coffee and cola in the United States? Mary is not here, and I can't find anyone to buy it in Japan."

Clark laughed outright.

——A qualified assistant needs to satisfy Vera's endless dessert appetite every day, feed her in time every day, and take into account the bastard Vera's eating preferences in advance.

In addition, Vera has all kinds of innumerable little problems.

For example, she is very picky eater and extremely weird: she hates drinking pure milk, but likes to eat soft milk pudding; she hates hard-boiled eggs, but she does not resist fried eggs; Love braised pork in Chinese restaurants...

Vera: I hate hard boiled eggs/milk/fatty meat, but I eat them as omelette/pudding/braised pork.

Another example is that she is greedy for coolness but also afraid of cold. It happened that the weather was hot, and the temperature of the air conditioner in her room was adjusted to the lowest temperature of [-] degrees.

Even so, Vera would rather put on winter clothes and shiver in the room than turn up the temperature of the air-conditioner—it was obviously summer, and she insisted on catching a cold.

Clark looked at Vera who kept sneezing: "..."

——So, a qualified assistant needs to firmly write down Vera's bad habits one by one.

After spending a week with Vera, Clark was deeply haggard, and finally realized Mary's difficulty.

Therefore, when Mary finished her work at the company and finally came to pick up Vera and go to the hospital to have the stitches removed, she received Clark's admiring gaze.

Mary:?

When they met for the first time, Mary had no interest in Mrs. Wigner's nephew from the countryside. She just greeted Clark casually and acted vigorously.

After taking Vera to the hospital, she first forced Vera out of the room, went out for a walk and basked in the sun for half an hour, and then carried boxes of coffee and cola from the back seat of her car and stuffed them into Vera's refrigerator ( She actually remembered finding someone to buy from Japan).

Immediately afterwards, she prepared aspirin and other medicines for Vera, confiscated the remote control of the air conditioner in Vera's room, adjusted the air conditioner to normal, and tidied up Vera's desk.

Clark quietly observed Mary's actions, matching Mary's actions with the qualified assistants he had imagined before, and had a plan in mind.

In fact, being Miss Senna's assistant is not a particularly difficult task.

he thinks.

The things Mary is doing now are exactly the same as what Clark was thinking about before, except for the most important one: how to force Vera to take a good rest.

At this point, Clark thought he had nothing to do.

Although he could indeed hear Vera's busy work at night, but with Vera's nonsense and sophistry ability, Clark can almost imagine her pulling out messy reasons to evade ==

Clark wonders what Vera's current assistant, Mary, will do.

Under his secret observation, after Mary learned from Mrs. Wigner that Vera had been working late for four or five days, her face immediately turned livid.

With a cold face, she used the ultimate killer move.

First, she went up to the third floor and scolded Vera, and then she turned black and asked Mrs. Wigner:

"Sorry, can I stay here tonight? You don't need to make more arrangements, I just share the same bed with Vera."

Angry Mary: I sleep with Vera tonight, let's see how this bastard director hides under the quilt and secretly taps on the computer!

Clark, who is eager to learn: "..."

Excuse me, farewell.

I really can't learn this trick, so I slipped away [manual goodbye].

That night, Mary really stayed at Mrs. Wigner's house. She watched Vera so hard that she drove her to bed at ten o'clock in the evening.

Vera: "..."

Of course, Vera didn't deliberately insist on staying up all night and working hard to ruin her body.

The reason why she had to stay up late was because the public opinion situation about Chaoying was changing too fast, and she was not given time to be lazy and recuperate.

There is a very classic "seven-day law of communication" for Internet public opinion, which roughly means that from the outbreak of public opinion on an event to its disappearance, if it is not given more stimulation, it only takes seven days.

Under the cold treatment of all the media, after half a month, the previous public opinion storm caused by "Don't Let Walker Run" has slowly passed away. After a few days of precipitation, they will start to launch the original plan against Chaoying up.

Before the stitches were removed, Vera spent a whole week analyzing the information given by Belfort, and finally came to a regretful conclusion:

Belfort was right, the mastermind behind manipulating the media against Chaoying... I'm afraid it really is the arms dealers in the United States.

And it's not just one or several arms dealers, but an entire arms interest group.

"I do not quite understand."

Vera's conclusion made Mary frown, "Why the arms dealer? I thought it would be the White House, or some religious groups, or those lawyers..."

Vera shook her head: "Those you mentioned are more or less involved, but the arms dealers are the main ones."

Mary: "...Are these people crazy? Are they not afraid of Chaoying's revenge when they do this? Are you tired of living a peaceful life now?"

Vera snorted suddenly.

She raised the corners of her mouth, looked deeply at Mary, and asked quietly:

"Who told you that all arms dealers want world peace?"

If the world is really peaceful and there are no disputes between people, who will they sell their weapons to?

"The existence of superheroes is more of a deterrent to the world. If people's trust in superheroes is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and countries dare not do anything casually, the market for arms will naturally disappear."

With Superman, why do we need nuclear bombs?

With Green Lantern, with The Flash, is there any point in the so-called weapons of mass destruction?

Vera's eyes fell on the stock chart of a large arms group that continued to decline, and her voice was indistinct:

"But what if these superhumans aren't so-called 'heroes'... but supervillains with superpowers who keep destroying the peace of the world?"

Only by erasing the concept of "superheroes" in people's minds through the media and public opinion, making people afraid of people with super powers, and making the world wary of people with super powers, can there be a market for arms.

Therefore, it is not aimed at any superhero, nor is it a personal enmity, they simply... cannot tolerate the concept of "superhero".

I don't know if it's because the air conditioner in the hospital is turned on too much, or for some other reason. It's a hot day, but Mary feels cold all over.

She stared at Vera with a calm face, and it took her a long time to say:

"But, didn't they ever think about pressing Chaoying down like this, in case there is another alien invasion like this time, without the help and protection of superheroes, wouldn't the earth be over?"

"Because alien invasion is only a possibility, but if they don't do it, the loss of interests is inevitable."

Vera smiled coldly and closed the computer.

"Besides, at that time, wouldn't it be possible to mobilize public opinion, and then let public opinion "invite" superheroes to the battlefield, and then praise them afterwards, wouldn't it be a new reincarnation?"

She looked at Mary and said in a low voice, "I need an opportunity to confirm who among these arms dealers is the mastermind."

"Half a month later, the Stark Group will hold a new product launch event, and at that time, representatives of most arms dealers should be present."

Mary understood immediately, and immediately continued, "I'll go to Tony Stark's assistant, Ms. Pepper Potts, to ask for an invitation letter."

Vera was taken aback: "...It seems that you have a good relationship with that Miss Potts?"

"It's pretty good."

Mary quickly packed up the documents, picked up the briefcase for Vera, glanced at her worried director, and said meaningfully:

"You know? We often have dinner and discuss "[-] Ways to Kill Your Asshole Boss."

Vera:  …
