July 1984, the old headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., D.C.

After a month of interviews, Xiao Yuebai met all kinds of agents, scientists, civilian and logistics workers, and he finally completed the last interview at the speed of two people a day.

Among them was the future Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau. Nicholas. Joseph. Fury, and his future adjutant, Mariana. Ciel, and most importantly the leader of the Pegasus Project, Skrullsmar. Will, while on Earth her name is Wendy. Lawson.

If you say who among these people is the most impressive, Xiao Yuebai doesn't have to think about it, it must be the black braised egg.

Because his thinking is too out-of-the-box, he can't catch his way at all.

It stands to reason that a person like him is not very suitable to be an agent, because an agent needs a rigorous mind, a decisive style of action, and an absolutely loyal heart.

Can be in and this Nick himself. In Fury's conversation, it is difficult to see his characteristics in other ways except that he has a certain paranoia.

If it weren't for the fact that Big Boss Xiao knew the temperament of the future director and his position before he crossed over, Xiao Yuebai would not have agreed to him joining S.H.I.E.L.D. at all.

However, these are all over, and in the end, Xiao Yuebai also selected 6 people from the final list of 15 people as the final candidates, and this list only needs to be signed by Peggy and Howard.

Then these 6 people will become official employees of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he came to Washington from New York today for this purpose.

Entering the building with ease, Peggy and Howard were already waiting on the top floor.

Seeing the two of them, Xiao Yuebai sat down in his chair very unimaged, and then looked at Peggy, who had not had time to take off his elderly makeup, and Howard, who was wearing a light blue suit, and said with a long sigh:

"I'm so tired, I've been dealing with these people for a whole month, it's these six people, you guys sign it."

Peggy took the list sent by Xiao Yuebai with a wicked smile, and said while looking down at the list with Howard: "Now I know that I'm tired, Howard and I have been here like this for more than 20 years, what are you complaining about?" ”

Hearing the female agent say this, Xiao Yuebai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, looked at Howard, who was already gray, and thought for a while before saying:

"Howard, find a time to go back to my building in New York, it's time for you to inject serum."

However, after hearing Xiao Yuebai's words, Howard's performance was unexpectedly without any emotional expression.

Instead, after thinking carefully for a long time, he said to Xiao Yuebai: "Byron, I'm a little unsure now, let me think about it again." ”

"You...!" Xiao Yuebai suddenly saw that the corners of Howard's eyes were full of reluctance, so he swallowed back what he was about to say again.

He understands why Howard is hesitating, because he is the husband of a woman, the father of a child, a former playboy, and has already become a mature and stable man with the tempering of time.

Now he wants to fulfill his vow to be with his wife for the rest of his life, and he also wants to leave a world for his children to break into, so he can't help but hesitate in the face of the temptation of immortality.

"Forget it, don't talk about this!" Xiao Yuebai opened the topic with a smile, and then said to Peggy:

"I basically feel okay with these six people, after you two sign the papers, you can send them a notice to come to work here."

Peggy looked up and nodded, then lowered her head and signed the list, then pushed the list and pen to Howard.

And after he took a closer look, he suddenly raised his head and asked Xiao Yuebai, "Byron, this Wendy. What is Lawson's Pegasus Project? ”

Hearing Howard's question, Xiao Yuebai thought about it and said to Howard:

"The Pegasus program is an engine development program, and they intend to develop a new type of engine that can be adapted to space travel."

"I showed the people in the research department, and they thought that the probability of success of this plan was very high, and we still have a cosmic Rubik's Cube, don't we?"

"If this Dr. Lawson does well after joining our 'company', I think we can let her get in touch with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and maybe give us a surprise when the time comes."

"Where is she?" The expression of interest on Howard's face became thicker when he heard this.

Howard has always been in charge of the research, development and application of science and technology within S.H.I.E.L.D., so when Xiao Yuebai proposed to let Lawson get in touch with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s core research, it was natural for him to ask questions.

"What's wrong? Want to take a look? Xiao Yuebai smiled and looked at Howard and continued: "She is now under the command of the joint base of NASA and the Air Force, serving as the chief scientific researcher. ”

"Her daily job is to help the Air Force design and improve aircraft engines, and of course she is also responsible for the engine development of rockets and space shuttles."

Hearing this, Howard stood up and walked out, and said to Xiao Yuebai as he walked: "Oh! Then I'll go over and take a look now, it just so happens that our 'company' is getting more and more business, and there are many places where we need airplanes. ”

"If there are good planes, I think we need to order some. Oh, by the way, the money needed to buy it will be divided equally between you and me. ”

As the office door was closed again, Xiao Yuebai glanced at Peggy, pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"Is this thing so vigorous now?"

"Although the appearance of a businessman makes him seem unreliable at times, he is also a scientist in addition to that!"

Peggy shrugged her shoulders and continued to smile while removing her makeup: "A scientist is persistent and practical, and as he gets older, his character in this area becomes more and more obvious. ”

"Time is not forgiving!" After Xiao Yuebai sighed, he changed the topic with Peggy, and the two took advantage of the busy meeting to talk about a lot of other things.

For example, Peggy will care about He-hee and Keisha in the new. Life on Merlot, after all, the three of them were very good friends at the beginning.

And Boss Xiao is also concerned about the solitary life of a female agent, after all, no matter how much time has passed, her thoughts about Steve have never changed.

She has lived alone for 40 years, and it is indeed not easy.

Just when Xiao Yuebai and Peggy were talking happily, there was a sudden knock on the door of the office, giving Boss Xiao an apologetic look, Peggy quickly adjusted her state and said to the person outside the door, "Please come in." ”

After seeing the people who came in, Peggy's brows were obviously furrowed, and a touch of displeasure appeared on her face for a moment, but she immediately changed into a happy face that seemed very formulaic to Xiao Yuebai and said:

"Oh! It's you, Mr. Pierce! Is there something wrong? ”

Pierce? Looking at the other party's angular face, as well as the unique haze in the corners of his eyes, Xiao Yuebai instantly knew who he was.

Alexander. Pierce, the supreme commander of the Hydra organization hidden in the upper echelons of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As for now, in Xiao Yuebai's eyes, Pierce is just an insignificant ant, or more accurately, he is more like a jumping clown.

Turning the chair under his ass slightly, Xiao Yue looked at Pierce with interest.

Perhaps a little tingling from the sight of the stranger in front of him, Pierce was stunned for a moment when he came in, and then said to Peggy a moment later:

"Miss Peggy, I didn't expect you to have guests, so should I avoid it?"
