Say That Again and I'll Throw Up All Over You
Duncan Apartment.
"Are you really going?"
Ross frowned.
"I really want to go."
Adam sighed.
"That's fine too."
Ross suddenly laughed, "I'll go with you, it'll be good for clearing my head."
"..."
Adam immediately felt uneasy.
The reason he chose to go to Boston.
First, we'll visit Juno and Karen, and while we're at it, we'll also do some sightseeing in Boston.
After all, it is home to two world-renowned top universities, Harvard University and MIT, and there are many other excellent universities in the surrounding area.
A major cultural center of the United States.
A true university town.
It's still quite interesting.
Secondly, Lord of the Mysteries Part IV is indeed about to be released, Random House hopes he will cooperate with the promotion.
Of course, this is just a hope, not a requirement.
At Adam's level, Random House would certainly support him and wouldn't dare to force him to do anything.
Boston is a cultural hub, and its purchasing power for books is among the highest in the United States. Holding book signings and promotional events here is quite necessary.
However, neither of these factors is the main reason.
The most important reason was that he wanted to take Max out to relax and avoid Ross and Rachel.
If I can't afford to offend them, I can at least avoid them.
But to everyone's surprise, Ross was so blind to the extent of this that he still insisted on going along!
"No!"
Adam instinctively refused.
"Why?"
Ross looked at Adam with a wronged expression.
Adam's lips twitched.
For Chandler's sake, this friendship must continue, so the truth cannot be told.
"I'm going to work, I don't have time to help you relax."
Left with no other option, Adam had to resort to making things up.
Zhou Shuren said, "One lie requires countless lies to cover it up."
As I see now.
"It doesn't matter."
Ross laughed and said, "I won't bother you. I can play by myself during the day, and we can go out together in the evening. I've never been to Boston before."
He got even more excited.
"..."
Adam almost couldn't hold back his words, but he tried to keep smiling, "Are you taking a day off? We're going there on Tuesday."
"Huh."
Ross was puzzled. "Why is a book signing held on a weekday?"
"No way."
Adam could only continue making things up, "If we choose a day off, there will be too many people participating. Even if I work myself to death, I probably won't be able to sign all the autographs. Having too many fans is also a problem."
This time it was Ross's turn to have his lips twitch.
Is this a complaint or a boast?
"Besides, I don't think I can stay with you tonight either."
Adam, fearing that this wouldn't stop Ross, quickly added, "I used to do publicity, and I also had events in the evenings."
"Can't you take me with you?"
Ross said, unwilling to accept it.
Are you a woman?
Adam couldn't hold back any longer and complained, "If I take you there, there will definitely be news about me coming out of the closet in the newspapers the next day. Of course, if you're willing to dress as a woman, then we can talk about it."
What about it?
If you're willing to do all of this, I'll spit in your face if you say anything more.
You old geezer, would you even look presentable dressed as a woman?
"I see."
Ross sighed helplessly, looking reluctant. "Then I won't go. Come back soon."
return?
Judging by your attitude, I might not come back and just transfer to Harvard Medical School.
Adam couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After he half-heartedly saw Ross off, Max laughed and asked, "Are you really going to Boston?"
"It's not me, it's us."
Adam laughed and said, "I'll take you to see two of my good friends, have a trip, and find some peace and quiet."
"You mean Juno and Karen?"
MAX asked curiously.
"Right."
Adam nodded. "I was originally planning to go this weekend, but it looks like I'll have to go a few days earlier. Can you get some time off?"
Are you kidding me?
MAX said confidently, "Being a waiter has its advantages. You can take leave whenever you want, especially someone like me with unique skills. I'm never short of work. I can leave whenever I want and come back whenever I want. It's no problem at all."
"That's true."
Adam smiled.
Max's confidence reminded him of Penny from the Big Bang Theory.
On one occasion, Bernadette suggested that they skip work the next day to go to Disneyland and dress up as princesses.
Although Amy was perfectly normal when she was with Sheldon, and guided Sheldon in various ways, it was precisely because of her interactions with Sheldon that the world forgot that she was actually a strange person.
How did she request leave?
First, around 7 p. m., she called her boss to talk about some problems in the lab, and then 'casually' mentioned that she was going out for seafood.
At 9:30 p. m., she called the owner and casually mentioned that one of the scallops she had eaten tasted strange.
At 11:30 p. m., she called and said she was vomiting so badly she felt dizzy and disoriented.
At 12:45 a. m., she called, but didn't say anything and just kept gagging while holding the phone.
Finally, her boss 'understood' and offered her a day off.
This way of asking for leave is too extravagant, but it still has that vibe.
Just like when Adam asked his boss for leave in his previous life, he would cough a few more times to show that he was really sick.
Whether the boss believes it or not is one thing.
But with this added step, the moral constraint that disagreeing means you're not Chinese, or rather, that disagreeing means you're not a good boss, will always increase the success rate.
How did Penny request leave?
Just like MAX, they simply gave a one-sided "goodbye" and left.
Even when Penny later decided to focus on her acting career and quit her job at the Cheesecake Factory, she arrogantly declared to her boss and colleagues that she would never go back to that godforsaken place, and told them to open their eyes and wait to see her reach the pinnacle of her life on TV.
Even when her career falters, Penny is confident she can make a comeback.
Being beautiful or having a fierce appearance is such an advantage.
Try it on an ordinary person?
If you dare to be so arrogant with the boss, you'll be fired and replaced with a new one in no time.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged waiters are plentiful.
Adam originally planned to take leave and go with Max earlier, but he couldn't leave his medical school classes, so he decided not to take leave and planned to go on the weekend.
But to prevent Ross from continuing to harass him, Adam had to pretend that Tuesday was over.
Fortunately, Adam is a professional and has money, so he went all out and didn't go back to the apartment. Instead, he took Max to the Four Seasons Hotel and booked a room.
Sometimes, a change of scenery can bring unexpected surprises.
No wonder so many experts like to go to hotels...
This greatly reduced Adam's resentment towards Ross and Rachel.
I enjoyed my stay in the hotel for a few days.
As for the autograph session in Boston, Ross doesn't know when it will be held.
Moreover, during Max's breaks, he started calling Monica and the others, reminding and encouraging them to end it all. He said, "Just break up, don't act like enemies and make your friends suffer along with you."
And give them advice: seize an opportunity to unleash a torrent of abuse on Rachel and Ross, and stop this from going on and on.
Rachel and Ross are a couple that just need to be taught a lesson.
As for why he didn't take action personally?
That's because Leonard is there; he's bound to side with Rachel.
Ross isn't a man of good temper. Adam's obvious favoritism is bound to make him furious, and he might even burst out with his Northeastern accent.
What's your relationship? Something seems off about you two.
If Monica and her group were to handle it, this problem wouldn't exist.
They were impartial and unbiased, which allowed them to completely subdue the couple, both emotionally and in terms of their presence, giving Adam the opportunity to sort out this mess before he returned from Boston.
