A week later.

Xia Shang personally met with Secretary of Defense Bob, who had come from afar.

"Welcome Mr. Minister to Walter Company, I heard that you are here for Lane's business." After shaking hands with each other, Xia Shang led Bob into the conference room.

"It's worthy of Walter, the news is well-informed, but I'm not here this time just for Ryan." Bob looked at the talented Vice President Walter in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "We should have met for the first time, but I didn't expect President Jervis to be so young, really young and promising." ”

"Thanks, Mr. Minister, would you like a cup of coffee?" Xia Shang came to the coffee machine and poured two cups of coffee.

"Can I refuse?"

Bob smiled and took the coffee handed by Xia Shang.

"It seems that Edgar values you very much, otherwise he wouldn't have let you negotiate with me."

Regard highly? Perhaps, but now I should be more inclined to how to get rid of myself.

Although Xia Shang thought so in his heart, he still pretended to be modest and said: "So I have always respected Mr. Edgar, if he hadn't chosen to promote me, maybe I would still be an ordinary security guard under Walter now, of course, it is also a good thing to be able to push the door for Mr. Bob." ”

Even if he knew that Xia Shang was joking, Bob couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"Alright, let's get back to business." Bob put down the coffee in his hand, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"Regarding the verdict of Lane's crime, the court will hold a hearing the day after tomorrow, and there are many opinions on Lane on the market, some of them believe that all this is the fault of the kidnappers, and they used Lane's mother to threaten Lane to kill, so Lane should be acquitted, but the families of those victims do not think so, after all, Lane killed their wife or husband with his own hands."

It is actually possible to be found not guilty.

Especially when Billy's confession video came out, many netizens were more inclined to innocence.

But I also know with my feet that the US government cannot let Walter go so easily, and they will definitely take this opportunity to give Walter a few knives and cut off a few pieces of meat.

"I am confident that the court will give the fairest verdict." Xia Shang smiled.

"Of course, they will strictly enforce the letter of the law."

Bob put his hands in front of his stomach and smiled.

As Edgar's "old friend", he spoke to Edgar on the phone before coming to Water, and also learned that Edgar wanted to keep Lane, because Edgar had to consider the feelings of the motherland, and if Lane was really sentenced to five years or more in prison, the motherland might become more difficult to control.

"Due to the recent frequency of transhuman crimes, the White House has decided to set up a new department, the Office of Transhuman Affairs, and we hope to have the support and assistance of the Walter Group." Bob said the purpose of this visit, it is about superhumans, and it will definitely not be able to bypass Walter, and Walter has a large number of fanatical fans with ballots in his hands, and once it gets into trouble, things will become very troublesome.

So he wanted to borrow Ryan's affair and make Walter compromise.

"Mr. Edgar has mentioned to me that this is a good thing, it can effectively reduce the crime rate of superhumans, and Walter is absolutely supportive, if there is anything you want me to help with, just say." Xia Shang was very enthusiastic, this negotiation was originally a formality, if there was really anything important, Edgar would not hand it over to him.

"In addition, there is also the law and order contract signed by the state government and Walter in the United States, which needs to be revised, the price of students produced by your Goddockin University is too high, and the managers of various states think that the share of security invested in this every year is too large, which has caused dissatisfaction with the local police department, so I think it would be better to reduce the price by 40%."

Goddockin University, in Bob's mouth, is the first superhero university founded by Walter in 1965, and the only university in the United States for teenage superheroes.

When Xia Shang first joined Walter, he mentioned a similar plan to Edgar, and even some details were strikingly similar.

To be honest, at that time, Edgar thought that Xia Shang was playing with him, so he didn't have a good face from beginning to end, and only after confirming that Xia Shang really didn't know Goddockin University did he look up at him.

As for Godokin University, Xia Shang also learned later, and the former Locomotive, Queen Maeve and Shenhai are also one of the students of Godokin University, although I don't know why Shenhai ranked first in that year, but this university does have a long history.

It's just that compared with the Big Seven under the Walter Group, it is not so famous.

Moreover, Godoquin University is more widely circulated among young people, Xia Shang vaguely remembers that at the recent Super Hero Trials, it seems that there are many Godoquin University students who participated, but their reputation is generally not high, and there are even fewer people who can enter the final selection.

However, due to the incident of Ryan, the junior superhero selection tournament was also temporarily suspended.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bob, it's not for me to decide, and a 40% reduction at once is too much." Xia Shang shook his head and said.

"Is 40% a lot? Maybe you Walter is not working hard enough, if you train a few more qualified candidates, you can easily fill the gap caused by this price. ”

Bob pulled out several papers from his briefcase.

"I'm ready for a long fight with Vought this time." He smiled as he pulled out a sandwich.

The sandwich was put in his briefcase by Bob's wife when he was out of the house, and Bob didn't know about it.

"It seems that Mr. Edgar has thrown this drudgery to me for a reason." Xia Shang joked that he didn't expect Bob, as the dignified Minister of Defense, to be so easy-going.

Eventually, after an hour of negotiations, the two parties shook hands with satisfaction.

"Jervais, you don't act like a young man, you know, the bottom line of my coming this time is 30%, I didn't expect you to cut half directly, Edgar handed over Walter to you, he will rest assured."

"Thank you."

After personally sending Bob to the car, Xia Shang was about to turn around and go back, at this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Billy hidden in the crowd, although it was only for a moment, but Xia Shang dared to guarantee that the person under the cap was definitely Billy.

On the other side, Billy hurried back to the car, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, what happened? Jervis found himself? Or is it just his own illusion, how can an ordinary person's perception be so keen.

Buzz!!

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate.

"Mallory, I didn't expect you to remember our poor abandoned creatures, and tell me what dirty work you are going to give us this time."
