Plot[edit]
The protagonist is a man named Maksim, a punchy provincial, devoid of moral principles, building a successful career in Moscow for the capital's recruitment agency. His duties include the dismissal of top managers of large companies. One day, Maksim receives another important task - to "get rid" of the chief programmer of the IT holding Georgy.
The hero, having evaluated the “client”, comes to the conclusion that he will “get rid of” him in a couple of days, because the 40-year-old Zhora is an example of simplicity and harmlessness. However, having got down to business, Maks is faced with unforeseen difficulties and it is not so easy to fire Zhora. The matter is complicated by the fact that Georgy has an attractive half-sister, in whom the main character begins to be actively interested. Thanks to the task of dismissing Zhora, Maks will have to go through many trials in order to understand that a career and material values are not the main thing in life.[2]
