"Cut the part just now and retake it."

"Yes, Mr. Jerves." The staff member in charge of filming the video made an OK gesture to the host after setting up the camera.

The male host nodded slightly to show understanding, "Two ladies, shall we do it again?" ”

"No problem." Starlight maintained a standardized smile, while the Storm Girl beside her reluctantly adjusted her sitting, "I'm okay with that. ”

"What about Maeve? Why didn't you see her? After Xia Shang glanced around, he found that Maeve was not in the interview room, and according to the schedule, today should be an interview meeting between Starlight, Storm and Maeve.

Ashley on the side whispered, "Maeve took a call and left, and she can't be reached at the moment." ”

"Keep calling her, if she doesn't answer, just text her, you tell her that if I don't see her in half an hour, let her never come, you are ready to break the contract and see how much money she can pay!"

Xia Shang had a cold face, it seemed that in Maeve's mind, his deterrent power was not as good as that of Madeleine, at least until Madeleine died, Queen Maeve would never dare to do this.

"Mr. Jervis, don't you think about it again?" Queen Maeve is Walter's veteran hero, with a high level of popularity and prestige in the company, and Ashley fears that Maeve will really choose to break the contract in a fit of rage.

Xia Shang didn't speak, turned around and left the interview room.

Default? The premise is that Maeve has the courage to do it, don't forget, he still has the black box of Flight 37 in his hand, unless Maeve wants to be ruined, he has to obediently come to him and admit his mistake.

Xia Shang's actions were like knocking on a mountain and shaking a tiger, directly shocking the two people present Starlight and Storm, they showed a look of shock, they couldn't believe that Xia Shang had done such a desperate thing.

"Let's talk about the next topic." The male host on the side, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, hurriedly opened the topic.

"How about talking about men? Starlight, I heard that you rejected the pursuit of the deep sea, may I ask if you are single now, or is you a famous flower? ”

Faced with the host's question, Starlight said decisively: "Single, absolutely single." ”

"Okay, I'm sure netizens will respect your choice, but what about Lady Storm?"

"Just like her." Storm originally wanted to lift Erlang's legs, but when she thought of Xia Shang's warning just now, she couldn't help but put down her right leg that had just been raised.

Seeing that the interview was progressing so smoothly, it was the opposite of before Xia Shang came, Ashley couldn't help but sigh at Xia Shang's clever methods, at least she didn't dare to hit the two of them so blatantly.

"What do you think about the recent focus of public opinion, the topic of women's rights?" The moderator asked.

The first to speak was Starlight, she smiled slightly: "I think this is inevitable, with the development of the times, women have gradually awakened their consciousness, in the face of injustice and discrimination, they no longer swallow their anger, but bravely stand up and speak out, they represent women in the new century, should be respected and recognized." ”

"Poof!" Storm, who sat next to Starlight, couldn't hold back her laughter, as a nationalist Aryan, she only thought it was funny and ridiculous, but she quickly put away her smile.

"Don't get me wrong, I just thought of something ridiculous, and as for my opinion, it's exactly the same as Starlight."

As time goes on, and the interview draws to a close, Starlight picks up her phone from time to time to check for the latest news, not looking at her calm on the surface, but in fact she is extremely anxious inside, because Gecko promised her that she would hand over Compound 5 to her within the day.

At this moment, the host continued to ask: "Starlight, your team member Locomotive has been out of public view for a long time, and Walter's explanation is that Lokomotiv has recently carried out a secret mission abroad, are you worried about him?" ”

Starlight, who knew the truth of the matter, knew very well that this was just Walter's perfunctory words, but she had to pretend to be concerned: "Of course, I pray for him every night, it is the luck of the American people to have such a brave hero fighting for the United States, and it also represents Walter's determination to protect the safety of the American people!" ”

"And what if I told you that he was right behind you?" The host's voice just fell.

The locomotive, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out of the room next to him, and he made his standard gesture in front of the media, and smiled at everyone: "Hey, the locomotive is coming!" How are you doing? ”

The sudden appearance of the locomotive made Starlight stunned in place, and when she came back to her senses, she pretended to be happy and hugged her.

After the two separated, the locomotive greeted the storm girl on the side: "Storm, it's an honor to meet you, I'm your super fan." ”

"Me too." While the two were greeting each other.

Starlight finds Ashley and asks her why the locomotive suddenly appeared.

"This is a surprise that Mr. Jervis has prepared for you, after all, everyone knows that the locomotive is your best partner." Ashley smiled, but she quickly noticed that Starlight didn't seem to be happy, "Why don't you feel like you're happy?" ”

"Why, I'm just a little surprised." Starlight squeezed out a smile, in fact, she and the locomotive knew about that night.

She betrayed Walter in order to help Huey, and Lokomotiv was in a coma due to the injection of a large amount of Compound Five, and since Edgar did not want the matter of Compound Five to be exposed, it was impossible for Locomotive to talk about it in front of the media, and when the Motherland approached him.

He only said that he was a step too late, and by the time he arrived, several people had already escaped from the underground prison.

The other side.

Xia Shang came to the office of President Walter.

At the same time, the motherland and Ryan were also there, and after they saw Xia Shang come in, the motherland took Ryan out of the room.

"Sit." Edgar's face was expressionless and asked Xia Shang to sit down.

After Xia Shang sat down, he spoke: "I have read the plan you submitted, and I have no objection to the plan to form a small seven-person team, but this project, Walter has never tried, and there is still a certain risk, I hope you can treat it carefully." ”

"I think you also know my style of doing things, which tends to be more conservative, but I understand that the 21st century is the century of young people, and it's good for you to have ideas, but I'm more results-oriented, and if your plan doesn't achieve the effect I want, I'll stop immediately, I hope you understand."

"Understood."

Xia Shang handed the documents he had prepared in advance to Edgar.

"According to market research, I found that a lot of people are very much looking forward to seeing the growth of superheroes, this is a huge and new market, which can increase the stickiness of fans to Vought, which is very conducive to the development of Vought, if, I mean if, the newer iteration of Compound 5 is stabilized.

It can be sold as a regular drug, and at that point, Ryan and they are the perfect candidates for the promotion of Compound Five. ”
