Chapter 259: The Family

When night comes, the skyscrapers of Manhattan are gradually lit up, and the spectacular night view of Manhattan is presented in front of people. ,

Directly opposite the roof of the Empire State Building, the outline of the round tower at the top is outlined by red lights, which stands out in the midst of the brilliant lights.

With the lights and twinkling stars in the sky, the night view of Manhattan is not only spectacular, but also fascinating.

Under the orange lights that surround the beautiful atmosphere, Murphy and Heather sit opposite each other.

On the table, there are French pigeon floss tarts, pan-seared foie gras and blueberry juice, rose salmon with caviar, black truffle cappuccino cream mushroom soup, grilled Australian bone-in eye steak and other foods

"Murphy, don't you have anything to say to me?" Heather's face was calm, and she looked gracefully at Murphy eating Hesse across from him.

Well, someone has a treat, can Murphy still be polite?

Of course, you can eat as much as you can.

As a department head, Heather's salary is not low, and as a department of this kind, some gray income is even much higher than the salary.

That kind of gray income belongs to you, you can't take it, and if you don't take it, you're not your own person.

Therefore, Heather's life can be described as quite exquisite.

In particular, Heather majored in computer science at Stanford University, and her technical strength is quite strong, otherwise where would she be in charge of the science and technology department?

Strong technical strength, random programming or something, there is definitely a lot of money in the pocket.

It's just that Heather is not very interested in money, she is most interested in power.

"Talk? To you? Mo Fei raised his head, thought for a moment, and then shook his head decisively, and said, "No!" ”

Then bury your head and continue to eat.

Since he was detained at noon, he was detained by them for several hours, and he was not given food, and Mo Fei was already hungry.

So when Heather got off work and asked him to dinner, Murphy didn't hesitate to do so.

Heather's chest rose and fell slightly, and her hands clenched the knife and fork in her hands, if it weren't for this person's life, she really wanted to stab him a few times!

Thinking that she Heather is the famous iceberg goddess, those subordinates almost never see her mood swings, but in this scoundrel, she almost lost her temper many times.

"For example, haven't you always inherited the family business and become your doctor?" Heather tried to suppress her uncontrollable emotions, and said in a flat tone: "How can you be connected with a spy agency like S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”

As for Murphy's previous that S.H.I.E.L.D. saw that he was good-looking, and then cried and shouted to beg him to join S.H.I.E.L.D., it was obviously made up by Murphy, and Heather didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

"Hmm" Hearing Heather's question, Murphy stopped gobbling up, put down his knife and fork for a while, and groaned, how to make up a story that makes sense and can confuse things?

Heather is a woman with strong logical thinking and is not easy to deceive.

"Let me ask you, did you gain any special abilities?" Seeing Mo Fei's hesitant face, Heather wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin elegantly, pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared at Mo Fei with a pair of beautiful eyes. ,

"Uh, why do you ask?" Murphy looked at Heather in surprise.

This woman is too smart, isn't she?

Not long after they met, he didn't say anything, and this woman was able to deduce that he Murphy had become the prettiest cub in New York with a little clue?

That's almost too clever!

"I've studied S.H.I.E.L.D. in a good way." Heather picked up the goblet in his hand, took a sip of the mellow red wine, and said, "Their requirements for agent recruitment are particularly strict, even exceeding the standards of B and agents!" There is a joke that has almost been circulated by our high-level officials, and the agents of B are all left over from the recruitment of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is our turn to recruit them. We've been together for a long time, what kind of person you are Mofei, I believe there are not many people who know better than me, with the standards of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s recruitment, the one I know you don't have this qualification at all. ”

"Wow, you pierced my heart when you said that." Mo Fei's complexion collapsed suddenly.

Are you so bad?

Heather ignored Murphy's pretentiousness and continued to say to himself, "They want to recruit you to S.H.I.E.L.D. for no reason, it must not be because of your terrible medical skills, it must be that you have something special about you that deserves their attention." And the powers and responsibilities of S.H.I.E.L.D., in the eyes of the real powerful, it is not difficult to know that they are committed to dealing with otherworldly things, such as Spider-Man in New York or something. Therefore, I racked my brains and thought about it, and I only came up with one possibility, that is, what extraordinary abilities did you gain, and finally S.H.I.E.L.D. detained, monitored, co-opted, and so on, according to the usual case. ”

"Murphy !!" Heather looked into Murphy's eyes and said solemnly, "Tell me, did I guess correctly?" ”

"What are you doing studying S.H.I.E.L.D. when you have nothing to do?" Murphy asked.

Heather frowned, leaned back in his seat, looked at Murphy for a long time, and said, "When I chose the direction of employment, I carefully compared S.H.I.E.L.D. and B, and I chose the most suitable for me. The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., seems to be a black man, bald, sitting in the position of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades, there is extraordinary technology inside, it seems to be able to prolong life, there is no plan to retire at all, and the organization is too tight, and the forces in my family cannot penetrate it, and it will not help my promotion, if I joined S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time, I can't see the future at all. After weighing the pros and cons, I finally joined! ”

"Uh" Murphy glanced at Heather with a strange look in his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "You won't tell me that you joined to go to the position of the director, right?" ”

Heather also specially investigated the information of the boiled egg, knowing that he had been in the position of the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades to listen to her, if it weren't for the fact that the boiled egg had been occupying the position of the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. director, maybe she would have joined S.H.I.E.L.D. in the first place.

"Why not?" Heather raised her neck elegantly, revealing a proud look, and said: "The director, anyway, it is all about being beknownst to others, others can be, why can't I be?" ”

Murphy felt that she had a good point, and he was a little speechless.

"Heather, don't you think your power is too heavy?" Mo Fei shook his head slightly and said, "You are a girl, why do you want so much power?" Isn't it good to spend your energy on things that make you happy? When you are the director, you don't know how many swords and swords you have to go through, and even if you are lucky enough to get to that position in the end, you don't know how many intrigues and tricks you will face in the future. ”

"Murphy, why did you choose to become a doctor?" Heather chuckled and asked.

It was goodbye, and for the first time Murphy saw Heather smile again.

Heather wasn't a big laugher, and even when the two of them were in love, Heather didn't smile too much.

"I became a doctor because my parents were doctors, and I had a family education, so it was easier to make a living from this." Mo Fei coughed lightly and said, "Moreover, there are still a few engraved genes in my bones, and I have a little talent for studying medicine." ”

"My pursuit of power is actually the same as the reason why you became a doctor!" Heather drank all the red wine in the cup, and her pretty face couldn't help but appear red, but her eyes were clear, and she said, "Do you know Robert Lee, a famous general born in the Civil War?" ”

"Robert Lee?" Murphy felt a little familiar with this person, and had some impressions, but it was only a moment that Murphy remembered who this person Heather was talking about.

This means that he is a Chinese and is not sensitive to this name, and ordinary Eagle Sauce people can definitely remember all his past immediately when they hear this name.

Robert Lee's popularity among the eagle sauce should be similar to Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States in the hearts of the Chinese people, almost a perfect person.

When it comes to Robert Lee, we have to mention the unforgettable Civil War of the Eagle Sauce people.

Why is it so memorable? Because in the Civil War, the number of deaths of the Eagle Sauce people was 620,000! What is the concept of these 620,000 people? This figure is the total number of deaths in all wars since the Civil War, including World War I, World War II, BN War, Vietnam War, and a series of other major wars.

Robert Lee came to prominence in the Civil War.

On January 19, 107, a military family in Westmoreland County, Virginia, was born, but a genuine hero was born without any artistic processing.

Robert Lee's family is extraordinary, his grandfather helped draft the Declaration of Independence, his father was a battle hero during the Revolutionary War, Henry Lee, and his mother was the daughter of Virginia's richest family.

He first graduated from West Point Military Academy with the second place in his year, and then married the great-granddaughter of Washington, the "father of the nation" of the United States, and then became like a fish in water in military circles.

In the 146-year Mexican-American War, many of the U.S. military's surprising victories came from Robert Lee's reconnaissance and planning. After the war was over, Eagle Sauce swept away most of Mexico's territory, Robert Lee was also listed as the number one hero, Feng was honorably promoted to major, and even Scott, the commander-in-chief of the Mexican-American War, believed that Robert Lee, who had amazing military talent, was Eagle Sauce's future military commander.

Since then, Robert Lee, who has gained a reputation, has also been proud of his career, and at the age of 45, he became the principal of the United States Military Academy at West Point.

The turning point of his life was in the Civil War, on the eve of the Civil War, President Lincoln strongly invited Robert Lee to be the commander-in-chief of the Union Army of Eagle Sauce, but Robert Lee, who had been thinking hard all night, still left Washington and came to Richmond, the "capital" of the rebels, to join the camp of the Southern rebels, because his hometown of Virginia supported the Southern Army.

Compared with the experience of beating Mexico back then, Robert Lee, the "villain" in the Civil War, has reached the peak level of military use. Almost every one of his battles can be called a model of winning more with less in the history of modern warfare, not only by the Eagle Sauce people, but also included in the textbooks of countries around the world, every detail of which is full of profound art of using soldiers. He even almost came to Washington and captured Lincoln in one fell swoop. However, the battlefield performance that reached the peak was finally difficult to stop the general trend of history. With a population of 6,139 and 6,639 railroad miles of 6,634 farms and 6,725 wealth created by 7,525 factories, the Union could produce almost all of the war materials, while the Confederacy was fully dependent on imports, and in terms of comprehensive national strength, the North was more than ten times better than the South.

In the case of the first defeat on the frontal battlefield, he rejected the proposal of his subordinates to break through and fight guerrillas, risked being hanged, and surrendered with his whole army, ending the war once and for all. The surrender negotiations were simple, asking for kindness to the southern soldiers.

His actions led to a swift end to the war, and the social order was quickly normalized, with almost no war trauma, and he was still regarded as a hero of high morals, although he was a defeated general.

Otherwise, under the tough resistance of the south, the north may not really have the strength to unify the north and the south.

After the war, Robert Lee, who took teaching and educating people as his own business, served as the president of Eagle Sauce Washington College for a long time, and until the current University of Washington, the full name is Washington-Lee University, which is to commemorate Robert Lee.

"That's what you think, Robert Lee is my ancestor, and I can be regarded as from a political family." Heather said: "So I chase power, just like you study medicine, that is the gene engraved in our bones!" The pursuit of power is what interests me the most. Even in me, taking in power is no longer just my business, the family has invested too many resources in me, and I also shoulder the mission of the family on my shoulders, there is a reason why I must not fail! ”

Listening to Heather's story, Murphy remembered one thing, it seems that Robert Lee's hometown is in Virginia, and his headquarters is in Langley, Virginia, It seems that Heather's political career has been calculated step by step, no wonder Heather is now less than 30 years old, and has already sat in the position of department head, and people also have hanging!

"You once asked me if it was worth it to be so tired on the road to power, and how could I feel tired when I threw myself into the things that interested me most?"

Mo Fei picked up the goblet, took a sip of the red wine inside, and sighed slightly, he is not a person from a family like Heather, he can't understand her, and his values tell him that eating, drinking, and having fun in this life, being a happy rice worm is the happiest thing.

But for Heather, the greatest happiness in this life is to realize her own value, absorb more power, and eat, drink and have fun is just a spice in life for her, and it cannot become the mainstream.

No wonder the two parties broke up at the beginning, and a couple with different views, even if they were forcibly blended together, would definitely divorce.

"I shared my secret with you" Heather stared at Murphy, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "Now you can share your secret with me, right?" ”11
