Belle's affair with the First Lady obviously can't escape Captain America's eyes. He squeezed out of the crowd, quickly walked over to Belle, and whispered to her, "There's nothing wrong with being friends with the First Lady, but you have to assure me that it's sincere, not a trick." ”

"Take it easy, Captain, if I'm really crazy enough to manipulate the First Lady's mind, then the promise I'm making to you now is a trick. Now, in order to prevent the reporters from orchestrating me to seduce high-level people, I would as well sneak away from Peter. Belle smiled and walked away, grabbing two glasses of champagne.

Although Belle has the soul of an otaku, the training she has experienced as a model for a few years and the natural advantages of being a beauty are enough for her to cope with most social situations. This is the first time she has come to this kind of high-level banquet, but she is not an important person, just an outstanding young representative from the Stark Group, so no one expects her to behave like a fish in water and swim with ease, as long as she is generous and decent.

To do that, it's no problem for her. But Peter's side is a little troublesome. Just like a fisherman's trained cormorant with a straw rope tied around his neck, since Peter wore a black bow tie, his speech and swallowing skills have been abnormal. When Belle shoved the champagne glass into his hand, his only thought was to hurry home.

"Generally speaking, wine strengthens heroes, but you don't seem to be drunk." Belle teased him.

Peter tilted his head and drank the champagne dry, pursed his lips, and said, "It doesn't taste very good." He turned to look over the president again and saw that the owner of the New York Yankees was presenting a bat signed by former captain Drake Kitt to the president.

"I've got to get out and get some air." He glanced at Belle.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

……

The president is indeed a New Yorker, and he was the governor of New York before becoming vice president. But he's not a baseball fan, in fact, he's a big fan of the New York Giants, and was a quarterback on the varsity team in high school. Still, he took the bat with a smile on his face and repeatedly told the staff to keep it away in front of the Yankees owner.

There are many people who want to say a few words to the president, and the Yankees owners have done their best. The next one, he can't compete no matter what, even if he can bring Babe Ruth back to life, he can't stop his brilliance. The famous Tony Stark is being introduced to Mr. President by Secretary of Energy Louis Williams.

More precisely, it would be the introduction of the new president, William Conway, to Tony. After all, that's Iron Man!

"Mr. President, this is Tony Stark," Williams said, shaking Tony's hand with the President very excitedly, "and I think my introduction is quite redundant to the two of you. ”

"Yes, Williams," Tony said mercilessly, "your people are quite redundant, the energy problems of the United States have long been solved, what else do we need the energy secretary to do?" ”

Stark showed off his Ark reactor in the most arrogant way, while also showing the president that the relationship between himself and the energy secretary had reached the point where they could complain about each other at any time.

The president has also realized that he seems to have snubbed the energy minister lately. After all, he had just taken office, and he couldn't go from the boring vice-presidential routine (attending ceremonies, attending funerals, cutting ribbons for the foundation stone of a new building, etc.) to the exciting presidential routine (the scandal of the previous president, the Hydra penetrating into the military hierarchy, the crisis of trust among the masses, and Russia pressing on step by step). The energy issue, which is not so important at the moment, can only be ignored by him for the time being. However, it is already July, and the arrival of summer weather will cause a surge in electricity consumption, and the reduction of production in crude oil-producing countries will also cause oil shortages and oil prices, which are all issues to worry about, and all must be involved in the energy minister. The president felt like a good time to bring him closer to Secretary Williams.

"Having a secretary who can stay close to the nation's energy giants is the best way to solve America's energy problems." He patted Williams on the shoulder, "There were several people who came to me just now, all of them were pitching me their plans for nuclear energy expansion, and I told them to go to the Secretary of Energy, and this is the only one person in the whole country who can understand what they're talking about." ”

"The Minister of Energy has suggested to you that the Ark Reactor is our future." Williams laughed and pushed Tony to the president again, "But today isn't the time to talk about these things, Mr. President, how about we take a picture?" ”

A group of photographers gathered around, and the flash flashed wildly. The President of the United States, Tony Stark, and the Secretary of Energy appeared at the same time, and the keen reporters already sensed that the stock price of Stark Industries would experience another round of rise tomorrow, and the future of the Ark Reactor in the United States seemed clearer.

The photographer was dismissed, and the president brought the conversation back to Tony.

"I don't have any doubts about the Ark reactor, but although I personally admire the Avengers, both the White House and Congress tend to have a unified overall attitude towards the Avengers, hoping that the Avengers can be brought into a reasonable, reliable, and professional regulatory system in some possible way. I'm sure Captain Rogers will support the decision of the United States and even the United Nations, but Mr. Stark, Iron Man's attitude is also very important to us. ”

Tony is obviously prepared for this issue as well, but he hasn't made a decision yet, so he still intends to prevaricate.

"Iron Man's attitude will remain consistent with the collective decision of the Avengers." Tony said, taking a sip of wine, "We have discussed these issues with S.H.I.E.L.D. many times, and we are gradually improving our internal system, and I believe that it will not be long before we will give a clear official statement." But today's important day should be celebrated for our great country, isn't it? ”

……

The president was chatting with Iron Man on the other side, and the first lady approached Captain America in the hope that he would agree to let Belle stay in the White House for the time being, at least until the end of the president's trip to the United Kingdom next month.

"I wasn't very happy when S.H.I.E.L.D. first arranged for Lisa," the first lady said, "but Belle did more than I expected, she was very capable, she was professional, and, anyway, I had a great time with her." ”

The captain is actually a little worried, and it is not a good thing to let the Avengers, even those who may join the Avengers team, intervene too much in the White House, and even have direct contact with the daily life of the presidential couple. He wants to keep the Avengers independent, and he fears that these politicians will use Belle as a tool against the Avengers.

The shrewd first lady seemed to see the captain's concerns, so she continued: "It would be good for your team to be able to get past S.H.I.E.L.D. and other agencies and connect directly with the White House, right?" What's more, all we expect from Belle is a good life assistant, she's still so young, no one can expect her to have a good time with those old foxes, right? ”

"Mrs. Conway, after all, is an enhancer, not an ordinary person. Having such a person in the White House would cause widespread panic if the news leaked. "Of course, I have absolute trust in her, and perhaps you trust her too, but what do the other staff members of the White House think?" ”

"I'm going to trust her because she's done me a great favor today, and she's obviously good at keeping secrets, which happens to be what the White House does best."

"Whatever you say, I can't make such a decision alone, I have to go back and talk to S.H.I.E.L.D., and Belle herself."

"Of course." The first lady laughed and said she knew the captain had basically agreed.

……

Peter and Belle were hiding outside, barely audible to the music inside.

Peter loosened his bow tie, unbuttoned the first button of his neckline, leaned against a railing, and finally felt a little more comfortable and had the spirit to speak.

"When did you meet the First Lady? Looks like you're quite familiar with it? ”

"I'm surprised by today," Belle said, "and I seem to have found a new job." ”

"It's not going to work for the president's wife, is it?" Peter exaggerated.

"So what do you think?" Belle asked rhetorically.

"Don't you even watch TV series? It's usually not a good thing to have anything to do with these people, and do you know how many movies there are every year about the kidnapping of the president? ”

"There shouldn't be as many movies about the destruction of New York, right?"

"I didn't mean that," said Peter, his face seemed a little red, "I just advise you not to get too close to these people, and the captain and Mr. Stark need you more on their side. ”

The conversation did not continue, for Sharon hurried over, looking flustered and speaking in a hurried tone:

"Belle, we need to go back as soon as possible, Dr. Sylwig is crazy because of the study of the Secretary of Energy's book."

In order to cope with the media, Captain America stayed at the White House dinner, and he couldn't help much when he went back anyway. The rest of the people quickly left under Tony's leadership, and returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in upstate New York through a portal opened by Belle in a warehouse belonging to the Stark Group.

Dr. Eric Sylvig has been quarantined in the lab. Everyone gathered in front of the window, watching the doctor who was wearing only a ** holding the book, and reading the contents of the book vividly with an exaggerated voice like reciting Shakespeare's plays, with very good expressions and movements.

The content in "Sanxuan" is all in ancient Chinese, and Belle can only listen to a rough idea, but ......

"Dr. Silverweg speaks Chinese so fluently." She sighed.

Tony glanced at Belle and felt as if she had drunk too much at the banquet just now, and didn't seem to realize how serious the problem was.

"Is it time to praise him for his language skills?"

"Don't worry, I think I can cure the doctor, but don't you think it's weird? Has he studied Chinese before? ”

Belle walked into the lab, like a first lady's panic disorder, and put her hand on Dr. Sylvegg's head, and the effect was immediate, and the doctor quickly calmed down, slumped on the ground, sweating coldly and trembling all over.

"Let the Doctor rest for a while, and when he recovers a bit, then tell us what happened." Belle said, taking the "Three Secrets" that must have been problematic and handing it to Tony, "It's better not to let people read this book again." ”

When everyone had dispersed, Peter quietly walked up to Belle and asked, "How do you feel?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”

"It's okay." Belle whispered.
