Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 245 The Villain

Upper East Side of Manhattan.

The silver Chevrolet stopped at a light gray apartment building intersecting Fifth Avenue and East 68th Street. The woman wearing a black trench coat got out of the car and reconfirmed the address before walking to the apartment building.

There was already a girl in her early twenties in the hall on the first floor of the apartment who was waiting for her. The security guard still carefully confirmed the identity of the woman before putting them into the elevator.

The two came to the 12th floor and introduced themselves to a girl named Megan who led the woman into an apartment.

Looking at the luxury duplex apartment that she had never dared to look forward to, the woman was stunned for a moment, feeling the pride and contempt in the eyes of the girl next to her, and she quickly calmed her mind, only to notice that the apartment was being cleaned.

Moreover, like Meghan, it is the young girls in their early twenties who have a figure of 80 or more.

Megan stepped forward and whispered a few words to another girl, and then said to her: "Ms. Fischer is in the cellar, Miss Arendz, please come with me."

wine cellar?

Would you like to go downstairs?

Thinking this, Meghan made a gesture of invitation and went straight to the corridor beside the living room, and she quickly followed.

The living room just now was bigger than the apartment she rented in Greenwich Village. Going along the corridor, I could not help discovering that this duplex apartment is just over 4,000 square feet of single-storey space.The cellar is in a room at the end of the corridor, not originally underground.

However, the retro design of the exposed brick wall, which is very different from other spaces in the apartment, gives a feeling of basement.

Megan entered the room without any arrogance, and said politely: "Ms. Facie, Miss Arendz is here."

Sophia Fissi was putting a case of wine on the wine rack. When they saw the two appear, they carefully arranged a bottle of white wine before coming over and hugging the woman gently, saying, "Good noon, Angie, you wear this A trench coat is so beautiful."

The woman's name is Angela Alenz, 28 years old this year, is the president of the Gucci US branch that Sofia has just confirmed.The two had contacted several times before and had negotiated the details of all aspects, so they agreed to formally sign a contract this afternoon.

Angela Allenz responded to Sofia's hug and said, "Thank you, Sophie."

"Maybe wait a moment," letting Angela go, Sofia sent Meghan who was still standing at the door, and came to the box of wine just now, carefully picked up a bottle and placed it on the wine rack, stroking the bottle : "The 1971 white wine produced by Zhuge Sundial in Hagrid Winery. 1971 is the only year in Germany where the Moselle Valley wine region has achieved a comprehensive climate of 98 points for decades. The highest quality Zhufu sundial area Only 3 hectares. I just photographed this box of wine for Simon at Sotheby’s last night, Angie, how much do you think it will cost?”

Angela Arendz looked dazed and thought for a moment, boldly said: "100,000 dollars?"

Sofia smiled and gave no answer. She arranged the remaining two bottles of wine and took Angela out of the cellar.The girls had basically finished cleaning the apartment. Sofia personally checked and confirmed that they were correct, and sent away the seven girls. She then took Angela Alenz out of the apartment.

It was already noon.

The two chose a restaurant nearby and ordered a meal. Sofia explained: "Simon and Jenny are not in the United States. Let me help them clean the house. I am actually Simon's housekeeper."

Angela Arends hesitated, but still couldn't hold back her curiosity: "Those girls?"

Sophia said: "Simon is a perfectionist. He said he could hardly imagine a middle-aged Mexican maid with a good figure cleaning the room for himself. Those girls are all students from Columbia University or New York University. They only need to work 3 hours a week to get $500."

Angela Arendz quickly mentally calculated, 7 girls, 500 US dollars per person, one cleaning will cost 3500 US dollars,

God.

His annual salary for his last job was only $120,000.

Sophia waited for a moment with a smile on her face before asking: "How do you feel?"

Angela looked up at Sofia and said, "Our boss..."

Just started, Angela still did not continue.

Sofia helped her make up easily: "Asshole, or villain?"

Angela smiled and said, "I didn't say that."

In the past two years, the minimum hourly wage in a metropolis such as New York has also been less than $5. These colleges and universities want to subsidize their daily living through normal part-time work. They can only earn up to one or two hundred dollars a week.

One guy provided a group of young girls with an easy job that earned US$500 for 3 hours a week. More importantly, these girls were repeatedly exposed to the luxurious scene at the top of the world pyramid.

It's hard to imagine what happens when these girls walk out of the ivory tower and start to face the real world, after some kind of psychological gap builds up.

Sophia said: "They are all very good girls, they have outstanding appearance and excellent grades. Although they are only part-time jobs, they have all received background checks before and confirmed that they and their family members do not have any tainted records. To accept very strict housekeeping training. Our boss hired them actually has nothing else to think about, he just likes everything beautiful. But for these girls, it’s probably difficult to get infected in a world that doesn’t belong to them. Hold your heart again."

Angela remembered her short absence when she first entered the apartment and the girl named Megan who had no reason to be arrogant and couldn't help saying: "Sophie, what kind of person is he?"

"This, you will know when you see him," Sofia couldn't find a suitable adjective for a while, and said: "However, the reason why you can get this job is Simon's sake. Several candidates' resumes , Your seniority is the shallowest."

Angela suddenly became curious again: "Westero has seen my resume?"

Sofia nodded: "Yeah."

"So, how did he evaluate me?"

Sofia couldn't help but smile a little, and said, "He said, you are beautiful and you can try it."

Angela and Sofia looked at each other for a moment, and found that Sofia didn't mean to lie at all, so she raised her hand in disbelief and gestured: "Then, did I get the job like this?"

Sofia still smiled and said, "Yeah, as a subordinate, I must learn to observe the boss."

While in Melbourne, Sofia showed Simon’s candidate information such as the creative director of Gucci and the president of Gucci’s US branch to Simon. Simon was still under Janet’s strict “supervision” to control working hours, but just hurriedly turned it over. Turned over, did not express any opinion on the most important candidates for creative directors, but carefully read the materials of Angela Arendz, and then gave the above evaluation lightly.

Of course, Sofia will not hand over the job to Angela Arendz, who is only 28 years old and has only worked in the fashion industry for 6 years just because of "observation and observation". The fundamental reason is that in the interviews in recent days, Sofia found Angela's proposed business philosophy is exactly what Gucci needs. The numerous information gathered by all parties also confirms Angela Alenz's excellent work ability. In the end, there may indeed be some Simon elements, so Sofia finally adopted the other party.

Angela listened to Sophia's words, but still a little stern, saying: "Sophie, you must be kidding me, right?"

Sofia didn’t want to give her subordinates an impression of rash blind obedience, and nodded in an end: “I like your entry point to improve the customer experience of the Gucci store. A long time ago, as a bystander, I often heard of the Gucci store The store's rudeness and arrogance towards customers, this arrogance is even the result of management's deliberate indulgence. Gucci's decline over the years has nothing to do with the self-righteous arrogance and arrogance of the Gucci family. Gucci is a luxury brand and upholds its pride It should be, but this kind of pride should be inner pride, not superficial arrogance. Anji, the first thing you do after you join the job is to change this."

Angela nodded in sympathy.

From the day she posted her resume, although she didn't think she could easily get the job, she still made a lot of preparations.The Gucci trench coat at this time is the result of repeated visits to the Gucci store in New York these days.

Compared with other luxury brands, the service attitude of Gucci stores is really difficult to compliment.

For customers, the staff not only does not provide attentive service, an attitude of buying and not buying, and sometimes comment on it in the face of the customer, even giving the customer some indecent nicknames.

Angela also heard an old story in the circle.

In the 1970s, a New York magazine published an article criticizing the Gucci store for its negligence of customers. At that time, Aldo Gucci, the head of Gucci America, not only did not care about the article affecting Gucci's reputation, but sent someone to send a reporter a bunch of reporters. Hua, thank the other party for'advertising' for Gucci.

"Sophie, there is one thing I need to discuss with you first," Angela said after Sofia said: "After joining, the first thing I have to do is to expel all the staff from the Gucci store in New York. I have accumulated some resources over the years, and I can find someone to fill their vacancies as soon as possible. As for specialty stores in other regions, I will visit them in turn and make a decision."

Once the employment contract is signed, these are actually within the jurisdiction of Angela.

However, Sofia also knew why she mentioned this matter.Many of the staff of the Gucci store in New York are some of the upper-class Italian children who live and study in the United States. These people generally only take the work of the Gucci store as a part-time job. The original Gucci family is also happy to send these smooth waters.
