When Bennett watched Joe griman take off his gloves and sit down, he also sat in the chair opposite Joe griman, with a huge desk between them.

Although everyone, including themselves, knows that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between them, no one will show it, and they will even pretend that this contradiction does not exist.

"You can play on the court and you will have a better hitting experience than here..." Bennett curled his mouth. "You know, the feeling of waving the club and hitting the ball hard is completely different from the feeling of controlling not to fly the ball, and you can have fun there."

Fun here refers to more complex terrain environment, which has also become a way to attract people's attention and happiness in golf.

The feeling of hitting the ball into the hole one by one on the flat ground is completely different from that of hitting the ball into the hole one by one in the complex sand and shallow water. That sense of achievement is much more than that obtained in the office.

In fact, there is another meaning behind these words. It is probably similar to the dialogue "since you have given up, why not give up more thoroughly".

In Bennett's view, Joe griman's concession represents that he withdrew from the game. In fact, they already knew the result before the outcome was revealed.

Now that you have chosen such a result, it's more straightforward. Don't procrastinate. On the contrary, no one will be happy about it.

Joe griman smiled carelessly. "Before the new order comes down, I must abide by my working principles and let people find me at any time during working hours."

He paused and missed the topic, "so what are you looking for today?"

Back to the business, Bennett didn't continue to pester the overt and covert confrontation. He put the document on the table and pushed it over. "The president asked you to sign this document."

Joe griman nodded. He picked up the document and didn't sign as happily as this time, but reviewed it slowly, which made Bennett suddenly uncomfortable. He felt that Joe griman just had to sign his own name, and there was no need to do so.

But he also knew that he could not urge at this time. He wanted to keep the last bit of dignity for Joe griman.

Thinking of this, he was in a good mood again, humming silently a certain aria from the opera he listened to last night.

About ten minutes later, Joe griman put down the document. He didn't start writing, but calmly looked at Bennett, "I can't sign."

In such a moment, Bennett's consciousness had a momentary blank.

"Can't sign?"

"Why can't you sign?!"

Bennett got up, picked up the document, read it quickly, and asked, "is there any problem with this document?"

Joe griman's sudden attitude change made Bennett hard to bear. It was like a person who said "yes, sir" all day and suddenly said, "no, sir".

The huge contrast is enough to make many people stunned. They don't know what to say. There will be a short gap in their thoughts, which is the shock caused by the destruction of habits and normality.

Joe griman sat upright, his arms on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and the tips of his fingers pressed together. "There are many problems, but before that, we need to deal with some other things."

He reached out and pressed the blue button on the phone. This is the phone leading to the Secretary's office. After pressing the button, the opposite party immediately connected, "I'm Joe griman. Who arranged the work in the office today and asked him to come to my office."

After releasing the button, Joe griman looked at Bennett with a smile. Bennett gradually recovered. His face was a little ugly, but he didn't do anything. He didn't know what tricks Joe griman was going to play.

Not long after, a male employee appeared in the office.

In an institution like a bank that has to deal with a lot of messy things every day, the office has a set of rules and regulations.

The person in charge will classify these messy things every day, and then they will choose to send the classified documents to different desks for processing. This is also the main work of the Secretary's office. They must stop some unnecessary troubles for the middle and senior management of the Department.

Looking at the young man who has worked in the bank for seven or eight years, Joe griman pursed his mouth. "Go to the finance department to settle your salary. You're fired."

This sentence shocked Bennett and the only male secretary standing in the room again. The former didn't say anything, but the latter shouted excitedly, "Mr. Joe griman, you have no right to do that!"

He argued for his rights and interests, "this is not in line with the rules of the bank. You are not the manager of the personnel department, let alone the president of the bank, and I have not done anything wrong. You have no right to do so. I will complain to the president, the branch and the headquarters!"

There was no shame on Joe griman's face. He picked up the phone, dialed a number and pressed the play out button. The three people in the room immediately recognized that the person who answered the phone was the bank president.

"I want to fire an employee of the Secretariat. There are obvious mistakes in his work. Do you need to attend the meeting?", Joe griman's tone is very calm and easy-going, but his eyes are full of aggression at the male employee.

Surprisingly, the president supported Joe griman's request, "you can do it as you see. There's no need for such a small meeting!"

As soon as the young male employee was ready to say something, Joe griman hung up the phone. The male employee looked ugly and his face turned red with anger. "Can you tell me where I made a mistake in my work?"

Joe griman pointed to the document on the table between him and Bennett. "You should give me such an important document first. I'm the top administrator of this department, not Mr. Bennett. You can't even do such a simple thing well. Do you think the bank needs to leave people like you to continue to make mistakes?"

The male employee immediately apologized, "you said that you agreed in principle as long as the documents signed by Mr. Bennett, and..."

Joe griman shook his head. "No, and either you pack your things and leave here, or I'll let the security guard help you!" he said. He had reached out and pressed the red button, which was to connect the bank security department.

The male employee looked at Bennett with pleading eyes. He didn't want to lose the job.

Regardless of how difficult it is to find a job now, it took him nearly ten years to get to this step. The next step is the management, which is why he flattered Bennett.

If Bennett replaces Joe grimman, he has a chance to go further, but obviously everyone underestimates Joe grimman.

Bennett's face was also very ugly. As soon as he spit out a syllable, no one even knows what the syllable represents, Joe griman strongly interrupted him, "do you want me to call the headquarters to explain the situation here?"

Bennett shut up and chose to ignore the pleadings of the male employees.

In fact, no matter the headquarters, branches or grass-roots banks, such obvious tendentious mistakes can not be made. Even the directors of the board of directors of the headquarters can not intervene in this issue.

After confirming that his orders would be executed, Joe griman pointed to the door, "close the door when you go out!"

Looking at the employees who had lost their souls and were like walking corpses leaving the office, Joe griman faced Bennett and talked about Bennett's problems.

"You asked me why I didn't agree to sign. First, you came from the branch. You should understand our internal work process. You are just an assistant. You are not allowed to open documents of this level before I agree to you."

Documents that are not internal affairs and require the approval of the Department's chief executive have power process problems. No matter whether Bennett will replace Joe grimman in the future, at least he is only Joe grimman's assistant now.

The branch asked him to help Joe grimman and didn't say to replace him. Even if they really have such a plan, Bennett can only lose one day if they don't call you a reality.

Before that, is there any problem for Joe griman to let Bennett preside over the work?

No problem. Rules are actually very flexible. They only work when someone claims them. If the parties, especially the party whose rights and interests are injured, do not claim their own rights and rules, they will not work.

It took Joe griman more than two months to get Bennett used to a special environment, which made him gradually develop the arrogance he didn't notice. In fact, even if Lynch didn't do it, Joe griman would do it himself.

Who is willing to give up after half a lifetime of struggle?

It's just that Joe griman's method is a little more artistic than Lynch's too direct method. Of course, he thinks so.

"Second, when I didn't know this document, you approved some results, which is a very obvious violation of authority, and I think there are great problems with the content of your approval, so I won't sign it."

"As for the third...", Joe griman couldn't help laughing. "I just want to see your smelly face. You lost, Mr. Bennett."

At the thought of this, Joe griman was in a good mood. In the eyes of others, he had been oppressed for almost three months, but no one knew that he was for the pleasure of this moment, which made him happier than when he communicated with some young girls.

Moreover, his happiness is more than that. "I will report your behavior and your practices to the branch and headquarters. You will report truthfully the things you have constantly challenged the bank rules and regulations and exceeded your power to create interest circles."

"Oh, by the way, and that girl, Anne!"

The expression on Joe griman's face was very special. His hand stroked the edge of the table as if he were stroking something special. "Her life is very good. I will patronize her all the time in the future!"

The furious Bennett directly took the crystal triangular nameplate on the table and smashed it at Joe griman!
