第一章 「周氏」企业里,人人都在传——那个被董事长重金挖角过来的超级秘书王攸贞,将是周家大少未来的妻子、周氏企业下一任董事长夫人。 所以,王攸贞从踏进周氏企业办公的第一天,就备受各方礼遇,完全没有任何人敢因为眼红她的际遇或因为她是被重金礼聘进来的而故意刁难她。 未来董娘耶!巴结都来不及了,哪敢刁难?别说刁难了,连一些酸言酸语五四三的话,大家也都不敢随便在她会出没的地方说出口。虽然说,就这么眼睁睁看着周氏企业最活生生、鲜嫩嫩的一块上好松阪牛肉——呀,不是啦,是周氏排名第一的黄金单身汉……对,眼睁睁看着周氏第一黄金单身汉随随便便就被一个空降部队给叼走,心里自是不无哀怨的。可是,世间事向来就是这样,人比人只会气死人;人各有命,别怨叹啦。了不起下辈子再努力看看好了,看是努力长得美一点,还是努力让能力才华齐备一点喽。...
自从我那爱好体育运动的祖母告诉我她曾经摸过弗雷迪·威尔士(Freddy Welsh)的肱二头肌时,我就被拳击和它的传说所吸引。弗雷迪·威尔士(Freddy Welsh)后来成为世界轻量级职业拳击冠军,当时是在1905年,他刚刚开始在庞迪布里德(Pontypridd)从事这项运动。几年前我的这位祖母曾给布法罗·比尔·科迪(Buffalo Bill Cody)端过威士忌酒和水,当时他骑马从西大荒到提恩特路过祖母做女招待的酒吧。我对布法罗·比尔(Buffalo Bill)从来没有像对弗雷迪·威尔士(Freddy Welsh)那样敬畏过。在编辑本故事集过程中,我利用了许多出版物,但是我也尽可能地获得了许多第一手资料。这项工作花费了我很长的时间,以至于那些慷慨地投入了时间和友情的职业拳击手以及此项运动的追随者们已不再支持我们了。...
