Chapter 41: Captain America's Meeting
Lie, who is working in the office, receives a message from Barbara that a very important guest wants to meet him. Lie didn't think much about it, put down the phone and prepared to go to the living room to see which important guest it was. However, he was still startled when he arrived, when Rogers looked at the plan of the Creation Enterprise for the New York city in the living room. When I saw this tall white man, I always felt indescribably familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, Rogers, who heard the movement, turned to Lie and returned a polite smile, "Hello, Mr. Lie, my name is Steve. Rogers. ”
Rogers' self-introduction made Lie stunned, there are many people who call this name, but since he was a child, he really deserves this name, and Lie has only one impression - Captain America! The superhero comics that I often read with Bruce when I was a child, a superhero who first existed in human history, and also my favorite superhero when I was a child.
"Captain America?" Lie asked tentatively. According to the comic books, the captain should have disappeared into the North Atlantic with the Nazi conspiracy.
"If there's only one real Captain America in the world, it's me." Rogers replied with a smile as he held out his hand.
"You should um... At 90 years old, why do you still look ... Lie shook his hand and questioned Rogers. Barbara didn't tell him about Captain America's awakening, but the face can't be wrong, even plastic surgery can't be exactly the same, some things can't be changed, and the most important thing is that Lie can sense that he didn't lie.
"Actually, I've been frozen for 70 years, but you know, I've been in military experiments, and that thing saved my life." Rogers simply summed up why he is here.
"Wow, welcome back, Captain, why are you here for me?" Lie was surprised that Captain America's super serum could play a role in repairing cells and anti-aging, which made Lie very surprised, in that era, the person who could make this kind of thing was definitely the number one in the scientific community. But again, he didn't know Captain America, and this was their first meeting, but he was very strange when he came to see him like this, just his skin color, bloodline and status were enough to make many guys in the government unhappy with him.
"What do you think of the world now, Lie?" Without answering Lie's question, Rogers asked rhetorically.
Lie didn't expect Rogers to suddenly ask him such a question, but out of respect for his idol, he answered anyway. "Awful, Captain. You have no idea what has happened in the past 70 years, since the victory in World War II, the international situation has become chaotic. The Cold War, the military race, the direction of science and technology are all in the military aspect, the competition for resources, discrimination and hatred against mutants. I really don't understand why we as allies in World War II ended up being fascists. ”
There are only two people here, Rogers and him, and Lie doesn't care about the sensitivity of the topic, he speaks freely, sometimes it's really good to have a listener, and he feels a lot more comfortable talking about a lot of things. And Rogers' words also made Rogers think deeply, he joined the army to fight for freedom, but now it seems that nothing has changed, perhaps this is why he will wake up from the ice after 70 years, because his mission is not completed. "So that's why this business was created?"
"Yes, maybe I can't change the world's mindset, but I can change the way mutants live, at least in the charity hospitals and companies I have built and in the communities where I have established, whether I am a mutant or an ordinary person. They can all enjoy medical insurance, five insurances and one housing fund, and some people dare to slander them, and we have a professional team to sue this group of guys. Lie took Rogers' words and answered why he founded the business, if it was only for some personal reasons before, now he is really working hard for the situation of mutants.
Rogers' words shocked Rogers a little, it seemed that he would still have companions in this disjointed world, thinking of this, Rogers suddenly thought of an idea. "Lie, is your PR team still short of people?"
Ha? All of a sudden, the channel jumped too fast so that Lie didn't react a little, let's talk about life, talk about ideals, how did it suddenly turn into an application link, what is the situation. Lie looked at Rogers with a look like you're kidding me, right?
Looking at Lie's expression, Rogers let out a laugh before explaining. "You know I'm Captain America, right, as a legendary hero of World War II, if I become the face of your company or something, I think it will be very appealing. And it will be a lot easier for you to deal with the mutant business, after all, my name is there. "Rogers threw his advantage.
"Well, I understand the reason, Captain, tell me about personal reasons." Lie complained.
"I'm just out of work right now and need a job."
That's why you're here, you can't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. Lie complained in his heart, but for Captain America to become the spokesperson of his corporate image, it is full of interests, and he can make money and help mutants improve their living environment. Without a word, he directly called the legal department to come over and sign a contract with Captain America, and quickly got it done while the captain didn't regret it, and then the military or S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to make trouble, and he could go back.
Coulson didn't know that his idol went out and sold himself after going out in a circle, and after Rogers came out of the genesis enterprise, Nick and Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D. received the news, and their first reaction was the same as Lie, are you kidding me? But looking at the seriousness on the faces of their subordinates and the expressions on Barbara's faces that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh inside the Creation Enterprise, they knew that this was true.
"Captain, what's going on with you? If it's economic, I think it can be solved, do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. will lack a superhero position like you? There must be house benefits. Coulson was a little puzzled, his idol was not a money worshipper, well, although the salary of being the image spokesperson of the creation company would definitely be worth his ten years.
"Uh... I prefer my house in Brooklyn, and the staff dorm is a bit too far away and there are too many people. Rogers scratched his chin and said that he had been surrounded by a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for the past few days, either asking himself to sign autographs or taking photos with himself, which was really a bit unacceptable. However, on the side of S.H.I.E.L.D., it is also my job, and the contract on Lie's side is very clear, and it will not interfere with my field work in S.H.I.E.L.D. Rogers hastened to reassure Nick and them.
Why do you work two jobs? Feed! You're broken! Nick complained wildly in his heart. He always had a feeling of being dug into the wall, Captain America, who he had managed to find back, wanted him to become a S.H.I.E.L.D. benchmark, but he went out and slipped around and became someone else's employee, damn, all evil capitalism, Nick thought fiercely. Although the captain has become someone else's family, there is no loss in doing things on his own side, "Captain, what are you doing with your luggage?" Coulson asked, seeing the captain there packing his clothes.
"Oh, Lie gave me this year's salary first, I'm going to find a nice house in Brooklyn now, Coulson, do you have a way? No problem with the price. The captain quickly packed his luggage, just a few clothes. Then he hooked up with Coulson and went out. Nick always felt that it was time for him to go over and talk to Lie, so he always felt that he would soon become the commander of the light pole.
Ryo didn't have much idea about getting Captain America done, although he was a little skeptical about his motives at first, because he couldn't believe that there were near-perfect moral perfections in this world, but sometimes, it only took a chat to understand a person. Therefore, Lie is very happy to let Captain America become the image spokesperson of his company, especially the mutant aspect is handled by him, with his reputation and prestige in the world, the appeal may be more effective.
I just sent Captain America away, and someone on my side came to make trouble again, and it was also an acquaintance, the two brothers of the God Domain, and that waste Chai Sol. Thor was suppressed by Lie and Loki in front of him, and his temperament has been restrained a lot, but every day he works in the hospital, it is a codeword, he wants to go back to Asgard, that kind of conquest and wine is what he should live, not to clean the toilet here!!
He couldn't bear it, he ran directly to Lie's company to find him, he just wanted to make trouble, and this guy couldn't stand it and hurriedly threw him back to Asgard. Honestly, when Lie saw this guy from Thor, if he could, he would have thrown him back to Asgard right now, what was this kind of muscle scrap in his head going to do, God? As long as he dares to come down to Earth to find trouble, he will call the Superman of Metropolis to kill him now. But he couldn't, whether it was the so-called Asgard or the Ancient One's orders, he had to get this job done.
Seeing Thor walking towards him with a menacing face, Lie waved back the surrounding security guards, and then directly grabbed Thor by the collar and threw him into the conference room. Thor felt the bones in his whole body fall apart, this time he felt that there was no place in his body that did not hurt, and then he felt a tingling pain in his scalp, and Lie grabbed Thor by the hair, making Thor head come into close contact with the glass table in the conference room.
"Look at what you look like now, like a mad bull, is this what the gods of Asgard look like?" Lieyu asked.
"Mortal, how dare you..." Before Thor finished speaking, Lie gave him another one.
"Shut up and listen to me, isn't it divine power? Loki hasn't used his powers until now, but he's better than you, more adaptable than you, and better than you in relationships. To tell the truth, if you had always been this virtue in Asgard, if it weren't for your father Odin in Asgard, you would have been killed. A god who doesn't know anything but war, you don't even have the most basic things of God, go back and think about it. After saying that, Lie called the cleaning staff to come and clean up the glass shards, as for Thor, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, a guy who didn't know what to do.
Thor finally got up from under the fierce iron fist just now, and he looked at the people around him who were looking at him coldly, and suddenly lost the idea of making a fuss, because these mortals who used to fear him in battle now only have disdain in their eyes. Is that guy telling the truth? Thor remembered Lie's words just now and left, and he didn't know how to get back to the hospital.
"What are you looking at?" Thor saw Loki browsing through what looked like a lady's bag and makeup on his computer in his spare time.
"I'm looking at the new Saint Laurent autumn and winter collections, as well as Swarovski necklaces, and I need to prepare a gift for Christina and her mother." Loki replied without looking back.
Oh, Thor replied, not thinking about it again, and as he was about to go back to his post, he suddenly reacted that something was wrong. "Wait, who is Christina?" Thor then realized what was wrong, where did this goods come from?
"My girlfriend."
What do you say? (To be continued)
