339 First Sight of Batman
The circular conference room on the top floor of the Merley Foundation Building is the arc-shaped dome on top of the entire building, surrounded by curved floor-to-ceiling glass, with a 360-degree view of the urban perimeter of Midtown Manhattan, New York.
The round conference table was placed directly under the dome, and there were a total of twelve seats sitting around it, and only one of them was empty, these people were all shareholders of the Meili consortium, and everyone turned their heads to stare at Lei Rui who came in.
Stanley. Melly sat on the chair with his mouth wide open, as if he wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stand up several times, and a man and a woman sitting next to him immediately got up, supported him left and right to stand up, looking at Lei Rui, his mouth was open and trembling, his expression was excited, and he couldn't even speak.
He is already full of gray hair, still has his trademark mustache, but his figure is already a little rickety, compared to the handsome young man 78 years ago in Lei Rui's impression, he is much shorter.
Lei Rui strode over, without saying a word, he directly had a bear hug with Merry, and the life and death comrades who had been reunited for a long time hugged each other again at this moment, and even Lei Rui was full of emotion.
"Oh! Oh, my God! Is it really you? Thunder?! "Stanley in a bear hug. Melly was finally able to utter a complete sentence and asked incessantly.
Lei Rui gently patted Merry's back a few times before parting from him, looked at Merry's old face close at hand, and said, "Merry, do you remember?" That time, in the small town of Rumler on the banks of the Midritte River, we were in groups of two, armed with MG42 machine guns, on the machine gun position, and were touched by German soldiers, and the German soldier rode on you, and I gave him this behind him, and I spilled your face with blood, and you were all frightened, remember? ”
"Damn it! Thunder! That's my nightmare all along! I dream about it every once in a while! "But at the end of this nightmare, I can always see your face before my eyes, and then I can continue to sleep peacefully!" ”
In the huge conference room, the two of them were talking about the old days as if no one was around, and they were all hanging out next to them, Tony. Stark followed behind Lei Rui, and couldn't stop looking at Stanley. The man beside Meli, and even more coincidentally, the man was also constantly looking at him, looking at him silently.
The young girl standing on the other side of Melly had been staring at Melly with concerned eyes, her hands kept by Merry's side at all times, ready to help him at any moment.
Melly pulled Lei Rui as if suddenly remembered, turned to her and said, "Oh, Ray, this is Metna, my great-granddaughter, and my successor!" ”
Metna. Merry is a big beauty, with long blond hair, fair and delicate complexion, and big and bright eyes.
She is already one of the twelve shareholders of the Merley consortium under the arrangement of Meli's me, and Merley's position has also been determined as her successor.
As one of the twelve shareholders of the Meili consortium, this is the first time that Lei Rui has attended the general meeting of shareholders, and Meili pulled him and introduced him to the other participants one by one.
Standing to the right of Melly is a middle-aged man who looks the same age as Tony. Stark is quite tall, even tall, wearing a private suit, bow tie, and the whole person looks very professional and very spiritual.
Compared to him, Lei Rui seems to be a little raunchy. A casual outfit, although it is also a private custom version, the design is simple and generous, the fabrics are elegant, and the production is well-made, but it looks a little out of place with a room full of suits and leather shoes.
Even Tony. Stark, who was also in a suit and leather shoes at this time, was dressed very formally.
When Lei Rui looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, Merry introduced: "This is Bruce, the heir of the Wayne family, his grandparents, and one of the first three investors of the Merley consortium!" You, I, Wayne Sr., are the founding investors of the Merley Consortium! ”
Lei Rui sighed in his heart: Sure enough, it's him! No wonder he looked familiar at first, it turned out that the one in front of him was Batman, who caused a huge controversy in Gordon City. Wayne!
It's just that Lei Rui really didn't expect fate to be so interesting, Bruce. Wayne turned out to be one of the shareholders of the Merley consortium! And it seems that this great-granddaughter of Melly, Meena, is in harmony with this Bruce. Wayne's relationship is not ordinary at all!
Before Lei Rui could speak, Tony. Stark pointed at Bruce. Wayne, with a look of surprise on his face, asked, "Bruce. Wayne? That "self-righteous" college Bruce. Wayne? ”
"Oh, this must be Tony from the "Monkey Training" university. Stark! "Bruce. Not to be outdone, Wayne responded.
Iron Man Tony. Stark turned out to be with Batman Bruce. Wayne still has such a grudge, Lei Rui said that he didn't understand it at all, and he even wondered, do these two guys still speak English? "Self-righteous" university? "Monkey Training" University? It's all where it is!
Melly was also confused, and Metna quietly explained on the side: "One is Harvard University, the other is Massachusetts Institute of Technology, they are facing each other across the river, ...... each other Compete. ”
Melly let out an "oh", and Lei Rui only understood partially, Tony. Stark graduated from MIT with the abbreviation MIT, no wonder Bruce. Wayne called it a "monkey-trained" university, mocking MIT students as monkeys trained in science and engineering.
Lei Rui smiled, reached over, and held Bruce. Wayne's hand asked, "So, you're from Gordon City?" ”
"Yes! Captain! It's an honor to meet you in person! "Bruce. Wayne replied politely.
"Have you seen that Batman in Gordon?" Lei Rui let go of his hand and asked, while casually glancing at Metna next to him, "I'm very interested in his affairs, if you've met him, maybe you can introduce him to me." ”
Lei Rui said casually, and Melly was completely ignorant, Bruce. Wayne didn't react at all, but the heartbeat of this Metena beside him accelerated significantly, and her expression changed slightly. Her reaction confirmed Lei Rui's speculation that this great-granddaughter of Merry and Bruce in front of her had a dual identity. Wayne, who cares about it for sure extraordinary, even already knows Bruce. Wayne's Batman's secret identity.
"Batman?" Tony. Stark interjected again, "The guy who wears a clown costume and puts lynching above the law?" ”
Lei Rui looked at Tony with some surprise. Stark, apparently, he doesn't know Batman's true identity yet?!
