Chapter 134: Partner Aegis Appears
"I don't understand what you mean!" Zhou Yi's words made Stacy frown, as a police chief who started as a police officer and came here step by step. The last thing he could www.biquge.info listen to was this kind of words that tarnished their careers. What is called the sacrifice is not worth it, it is simply saying that their efforts are worthless.
"I'm sorry, maybe you misunderstood." Seeing the dissatisfaction in Stacy's expression, Zhou Yi shrugged his shoulders. "I mean, there are sacrifices that can be avoided. Of course, I'm definitely not selling a product, that's what employees do. I'm referring to something else. ”
"And what do you mean?" As a politician, Stacy is not sophisticated enough, and his career as a police officer has left too many marks on him. makes him a little sluggish in this regard, and this is what Zhou Yi values him. He still has a conscience, and he really wants to make a career. He is for the duty of the police and the safety of the citizens, not for the so-called political achievements.
"I own a stake in a school that has a group of students with special abilities. They can control fire, frost, and can pass through walls, even invulnerable. Think about it, if these people had walked into the police station or the fire station and became one of you, would your casualties still be the same as they are now? ”
Hearing Zhou Yi's frank confession, Stacy's brows furrowed even deeper, he felt that he had heard the most absurd joke again, but he also felt that Zhou Yi didn't seem to be joking. All he asked hesitantly.
"Mr. Zhou, if I heard me correctly, are you trying to make a bunch of mutants become police officers and firefighters? Don't you know what has just happened in Paris, and if the citizens knew about it, they would have turned the entire police station upside down. And the lads under my command wouldn't be willing. ”
"The citizens are just worried, and when they taste the sweetness, they naturally have no objections. As for other questions, would you like to hear about my plan? Taking a cocktail from the waiter passing by, Zhou Yi raised his glass to Stacy.
His confident confidence was enough to reassure Stacy about his scruples for a while, and he took a sip of wine and made a gesture to Zhou Yi asking him to continue.
"I will provide talent, funding. These are all divided separately, and they will not ask for even a penny of money as you do, but they will still accept your command. All you have to do is give them a nominal identity and a normal partner. Of course, in order to give their partners peace of mind, I will also give them some additional financial subsidies. ”
"In addition, in order to reassure the people and your men, I will also let someone with some weight be the guarantor. Your Excellency, all you need is to hold a press conference in your own name and preside over the project. Everything else isn't a problem. ”
"When the casualty rate of your men is significantly lower, the safety of the people of New York is getting better. So Mr. Stacy, do you think the mayor's position will be far away from you? ”
Hearing Zhou Yi's plan, Stacy couldn't help but breathe heavily, and he pulled his tie to try to make himself as comfortable as possible. But the fluctuations in my heart will be difficult to smooth out for a while.
As the chief of police, it can be said that his career has almost come to an end. In New York, the high level of crime can cut off almost all police chiefs from getting promoted. They always receive complaints and complaints, and it is harder than it is to get the support of the people. And trying to get to the mayor's position by relying on the approval rate is almost the same as the dream story.
So, when I heard about Zhou Yi's plan. He immediately felt a glimmer of light coming. It's an opportunity, he knows it. But he also understands the risks involved, if something goes wrong with the mutant, then he, the host of the project, can directly submit his resignation.
The rewards are huge, and so are the natural risks. The key question is to bet or not to gamble! Stacy felt that it was difficult, but he was actually very excited. But I always feel that there are not enough chips. In order to increase the chips in his heart, he had to dig deeper into the content of this plan.
"Can I find out who you're looking for? You know, it's too risky for me to take it alone. ”
"That's a friend you and I know, and believe me, he has no worse approval rating among the people than Mr. President, especially in New York." Zhou Yi laughed strangely, leaving Stacy inexplicable. "Isn't that a superhero enough?"
"Enough!" Stacy's face flushed, and he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and his whole person looked bright. It was a man with ambition and purpose. When Zhou Yi mentioned that person, he sensed that Lady Luck was smiling at him, and the position of New York Mayor was beckoning to him.
In this world, there is only one person who can be called a superhero at this time, and can be supported by most New Yorkers, and that is the Dawn Knight. A legend in the real world, a big man who has saved countless lives. As long as he is there, a little public opinion and noise is not a problem at all, and the people are almost blindly obedient to him. Not many people know this better than him.
To this day, there are still a lot of fools in his bureau who are dressed as Dawn Knights and do chivalrous deeds everywhere. Oprah has openly invited him to his talk show in all media, and even Hollywood is already raising money to get his reputation rights to make new heroic films. Just by looking at these, you can see how much influence this guy really has in people's hearts. It can be said that if he goes to run for president, then there is little need for this idiot to fight for re-election anymore.
Thinking of this, Stacy stretched out her hand to Zhou Yi without any hesitation.
"It's a pleasure to work with, Mr. Zhou. I think this plan will go very well! ”
"Happy cooperation, future mayor." Smiling and complimenting, Zhou Yi shook the hand of this man who had sprouted ambitions. This moment is a win-win for both of them.
As long as Stacy, the police chief, agrees, his plan is half the battle. As for the remaining half, it can be done completely by the previous arrangement. Charles's complacency would not last long, and the forces from within would break through all his defenses. At this point, Zhou Yi is very confident.
Maybe he felt that he was already a partner with Zhou Yi, or maybe he couldn't control his emotions after drinking too much. Stacy began to inquire about Zhou Yi's privacy, hoping that he would satisfy his curiosity.
"Seriously, Mr. Zhou. I wonder why someone of your stature would want to help a group of mutants. They don't seem to be going to help you in any way. ”
Zhou Yi smiled, by this time some things were no longer a secret. Now that the plan has been launched, a lot of things are almost ready to be made public.
"I have my reasons for doing this. Mr. Stacy, sometimes you have to make a huge effort for the sake of your loved ones. ”
Director Stacy made a gesture of deafness at this time, and he needed to know something inside to ensure that the relationship between them was stronger. And that's exactly what Zhou Yi is doing.
"I'm sure you've seen my daughter. Aretha was a mutant, in fact her mother and my sister were mutants. In order for them to live a normal life, I have to make such an effort. Isn't it too sad that men who have money, fame, and status can't even protect their own families and let them live like rats hiding in the shadows and shivering! ”
Zhou Yi's image was immediately fixed in Stacy's heart as a good father and husband. It is undoubtedly admirable that a man can do this to this extent. He patted him on the shoulder and encouraged.
"Trust us, Mr. Zhou. This plan will definitely succeed, and after that. The status of the mutants will improve, and your relatives will be able to appear in the world in the open. ”
"That's exactly what I wanted."
The exchange between the two men ended in a hurry. At this time, Stacy didn't dare to be too intimate with Zhou Yi. The plan between them is very sensitive, and if the news is leaked before the official launch, it will be a huge problem for them.
So in seeing Gwen. When Miss Stacy returned with Aretha, he left Zhou Yi with Gwen. Nominally, he was still the host of the party, and he had many reasons to confuse some people. Of course, there will always be people who understand.
When the charity auction officially began, an acquaintance sat next to him. He held up the sign and signaled his bid to the auctioneer on the stage, and said to Zhou Yi.
"Is it really good to talk to a police chief about cooperation, he doesn't seem to be as influential as you think."
"How dare I cooperate with a guy with a lot of influence in this kind of thing, and his identity is just right, isn't it? It will not touch your nerves, nor will my plans be completely empty. Also, Phil, your hairline is receding again. ”
Phil. Coulson touched his hair, and his face couldn't help but show a look of vicissitudes.
"You know, there's been so much to do lately, and I've been working overtime for a long time."
Zhou Yi suddenly became a little curious, he didn't know what S.H.I.E.L.D. was busy with at this time. So he interjected curiously.
"You've been busy lately? If you don't mind, you can tell me what you're up to, I'm honestly interested. Are you agents really doing the same thing as in the movies? ”
"I like what you said about the same life as in the movies, exciting and fulfilling, although sometimes overworked, but once it's done, the vacation is long. But thanks to you, I haven't had this kind of assignment for a long time. ”
"It took me almost a month to deal with the mess you left behind in Canada, the cause of the floods, the reason you were there, and just dealing with Canadian government officials was almost grinding off my face. Seriously, man, can you not make such a big move next time. Can't you be like us, a little bit more sven? ”
Coulson's words were full of complaints, but Zhou Yi could only laugh at them. It was impossible for him to control this kind of thing, so he also knew that Coulson was just complaining and had no other meaning.
"Sorry, man. If there is a next time, I will try to open an underground river to get out. But did you come to me specifically to complain to me that I had indirectly increased your workload and wanted to get another salary from me? ”
"If you're willing to give, it's the best." Coulson smiled and cut to the chase. "But I've come here to tell you one thing, our cooperation can begin, and the prey is already in trouble. It's the perfect time for you to show up! I'm sure they'll be in touch with you soon. ”
