Chapter Seventy-Eight: Peter's New Job
"Peter, are you going to my house after school?" Harry invited, "My father likes you very much, and he wants to invite you to my house for dinner." ”
Norman. Osborne's love for Peter naturally comes from Peter's grades, Peter got the first grade in the school last semester, with an A+ in every class, and received a $5,000 scholarship at the beginning of this semester.
Compared to Peter, Harry's grades were a bit dismal, with only one A-, and the rest of his homework was B and C, but fortunately he got a little assist from Peter during the exam, and there were no failing subjects.
By the way, Li Ji's grades were second in the school, second only to Peter. In fact, Li Ji was able to get the first place in the school, but the first in the school had a $5,000 scholarship, and the second in the school was only $3,000.
"No, Harry, I have an interview after school." Peter said weakly that he had been busy all night last night. There may not be much else in New York, but there are a lot of crimes and accidents, which keeps Peter busy.
"Interview, did you start looking for a part-time job so early?" Harry asked curiously.
Peter said that although he has been working hard to adapt to his growing strength these days, the speed of his strength growth is still greater than the speed at which he adapts, and he always destroys some things intentionally or unintentionally, until now, his own little coffers can no longer afford the cost of damaged items, and can only find a job to support himself.
"It's better to go to my house for a part-time job, there are many positions suitable for students in my laboratory, help those scientists, help, not only have a lot of subsidies, but also can train themselves." Harry said.
"Thank you, Harry, but I'm only a freshman in high school, I don't think I'm good enough to enter the lab, I'm looking for a job as a reporter in a newspaper now, this job is relatively simple, as long as I shoot breaking events every day and write news articles, I don't need to work in a newspaper, it's more suitable for me." Peter was tempted by Harry's offer, but for a few reasons, he chose to go ahead with the interview.
"It's boring." Harry muttered, "Remember to tell me when you have time, or you can ask my father to do an interview with you, my father is the president of the Osborne Group after all, and it should also help you in your work." ”
"Let's wait until my interview goes well!" Peter fell back on the table, and before Peter could decide whether the newspaper wanted to be himself, Harry told him about the interview.
"OK, OK, I think my father would be happy if you needed it anyway." Harry nodded, but Peter didn't reply, and a soft snore came from his mouth.
"Asleep." Li Ji spread his hands, he was clear about the reasons why Peter was reluctant to go to the laboratory, first, he came and went to the laboratory, time was not so free, Peter wanted to go out to save people or fight crimes, he needed to find an excuse to leave, and secondly, the various equipment in the laboratory was complicated, Peter was worried about what to do if his strength accidentally broke the laboratory equipment, and he was worried that the laboratory would detect his abnormal performance.
"Let's go to the Daily Bugle." Li Ji groaned.
Clarion Daily has always been an important newspaper in the Marvel Universe, and it is one of the most important elements of the Spider-Man series, Li Ji watched movies in his last life, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe lacked the important element of Clarion Daily, until "Spider-Man: Far From Home", it was not reproduced in an ending Easter egg, which made Li Jizong feel that something was missing, but he didn't expect to hear this familiar name again after crossing into the Marvel Universe.
As soon as school was out in the afternoon, Peter left the classroom and took the bus to the headquarters of the daily Clarion newspaper.
"Excuse me, is Peter here?" Gwen stood in the doorway of the classroom, but she didn't see Peter.
"He's gone for an interview." Harry muttered that he was disgusted by Peter's sloppy behavior, and that he had wanted to follow Peter to the newspaper office.
"Okay." Gwen was holding a book, a little disappointed, Peter had made an appointment with her to go to the library to read a book the other day, but Peter was probably too busy to forget about it.
Li Ji's eyes contracted: "Before it gets on the right track, is the poor little spider about to encounter an emotional crisis?" ”
The person who interviewed Peter was none other than J. Jonah Jameson, the editor-in-chief of Clarion Daily, the owner of Clarion Daily who had been focusing on discrediting Spider-Man for many years.
"Peter, what do you think is the latest social hotspot?" Jameson flipped through Peter's resume and asked, this is a regular question in the interview of reporters, if a reporter can't even catch the hot spots, then he can be laid off.
"The recent social hotspot is probably Spider-Man." Peter scratched his head and said his alternate identity out of his mouth, which was a strange feeling.
"That's a good answer, so what was your first impression of Spider-Man?" Jameson recorded some text on Peter's resume and didn't know what he was writing.
"I don't have a bad impression of him, after all, he saved many people, fought crime, and has super action and strength, he seems to be a hero." Peter restrained himself a little, and didn't say the word super, but despite this, his neck burned with shyness.
"Your ability to perceive social hotspots is not bad, but your perspective on things is a bit too superficial, you need to see the essence of things through the surface of things!" Jameson commented.
"Spider-Man seems to have done a lot of good things, but he's actually a destabilizing factor in society! His ability is too strong, and no one knows his identity, he is completely a bomb hidden in society! It's hard to imagine what would happen if he suddenly changed his mind and stopped fighting against violations, but instead committed crimes himself! ”
"Editor-in-Chief Jameson, I don't think Spider-Man would do that." Peter argued.
"A lot of people think that Neon wouldn't have attacked the United States in World War II, and then Pearl Harbor happened." Jameson's voice was unmistakable, "You're not Spider-Man, how do you know that Spider-Man won't do illegal things?" ”
Peter was tempted to tell him, "I'm Spider-Man." But reason made him obediently shut his mouth.
"Spider-Man now has a lot of admirers of your age, and if Spider-Man suddenly commits a crime, their worldview may all collapse. In order to protect them, I decided to reveal Spider-Man's true identity and make them understand that Spider-Man is also a human being, not a god in their hearts. Peter, would you like to help me? Jameson held out his big hand.
"More than pleasantly, Editor-in-Chief Jameson."
