Chapter 141 Can't Reject My Kindness
Umbrella Company, security director Gil Valentine.
Originally, I was getting help from Ivan Vanke, and finally had the opportunity to surpass Tony Stark. After hearing his follower Jack and said this name, the joyful expression on his face disappeared instantly, and the muscles under the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, which was caused by tension.
And the reason why it produces these reactions after hearing this name starts half a month ago.
Half a month ago, Justin felt that this was the most unlucky time in his life. Tony Stark, the target he had always envied and hated, not only invented a cross-age weapon, steel suit, but also became a superhero that everyone admired. Under the brilliance of Tony, he felt that he was a clown who was ignored.
Then the Ministry of Defense asked itself to be a gunman, and at a hearing to hold soon, he said that Iron Man should not be a private theory, forcing Tony to hand over this technology to the military, otherwise he would terminate the contract with him.
He himself was very willing to see Tony lose his grief, but it was not easy. The current private ownership and constitution of the United States made all his remarks be considered improper. But if he did not do so, he would be nothing without the favor of the military and government, so he had to bite the bullet and go on.
But that wasn't over. He caught a cool sports car parked on the side of the road, and saw that Huxinqi wanted to buy it, but he never thought he was humiliated by the owner of the car, the poor country bumpkin who sold amulets, and mocked him for being a poor worm trampled under his feet by Tony Stark.
That's not all. The police who arrived later obviously favored the poor man and drove him away roughly. This made him, the arms dealer who made his fortune by smuggling arms, sigh: Collusion between officials and businessmen is in vain.
The most terrifying thing is that it was less than two days after this incident, and he didn't have time to rectify the poor man. SHIELD didn't know what kind of trouble he had, so he checked his business twice in Liberia, which scared him so much that he almost jumped off the 16th floor.
He had no time to calculate the financial losses. What he wanted to figure out the most was what S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to follow the clues and check himself up. If this is true, then he could only say before jumping off the building: I am alone, and I can save a large number of people. I hope those people can treat their families well.
But just when he was planning his legacy and whether to share it with the mistress who was raised outside, the SHIELD investigation suddenly ended, which made him unable to understand the situation. Finally, after inquiring from multiple sources, he gave him a reminder to be at peace with his own affairs, not cause trouble, and show his performance in the hearing.
He actually had to attend the hearing, which means he was useful and safe for the time being, which really made him feel relieved.
It was really bad luck. In his office, Justin sat on a chair, put his legs on the table, sighing and thinking about whether it was to find the great priest Wang Lama on the east side of the street to exorcise evil spirits, or to find the great nun Li on the west side of the street to change his fortune, his follower Jack rushed in with his cell phone in a panic.
"Tell him, I'm not available." Justin is now upset. "I don't answer anyone's phone now."
"But sir..." Jack did not do what Justin told him. He now looked panicked, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He covered his cell phone with one hand to prevent Justin's rude words from coming in. "This is Mr. Daniel White Hall's phone call."
Thump, when he heard the name Justin hurriedly stood up, but his sitting posture just now was so pretentious that he fell directly on his back.
Without even yelling about pain, he even crawled to Jack's side, grabbed his cell phone and said flatteringly, "Mr. White Hall, I am really honored to receive your call."
Daniel White Hall, perhaps many people have never heard of this name, but those who know him understand that this is a very good-looking person. Many politicians and military leaders are respectfully in front of this person who usually lives in simplicity.
As the government agent, Justin knew Whitehold, but he was not qualified to come forward to talk to him. He just saw from a distance that the powerful senator, the initiator of Tony's hearing, respectfully in front of Whitehold, was like a junior, with a humble smile on his face.
From that time on, Justin decided that it would be better to be far away from this mysterious character. If you get too close, you don’t know whether you can flatter it. But if you make him disgusted, hum and let yourself be doomed, it may be just a matter of one sentence.
But now, this existence that he couldn't afford to mess with was called in person, how could Justin accidentally deal with this?
"Justin, my kid, are you doing well recently? I heard that you are a little unhappy lately." White Hall's voice on the phone was very friendly.
"Thank you very much for your concern. I have been there recently... quite a bit." White Hall's concern made Justin feel flattered, but he also knew in his heart that the other party would never care for no reason. For him, he could only be regarded as a small person himself, so he asked wisely, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Hmph, there's no service." White Hall laughed twice. He seemed to be very satisfied with Justin's compliment. Of course, it might be that he didn't take it seriously at all. "I have a very strong partner, they are looking for new business partners. I think you are pretty good, so I recommended you to them."
"Oh, thank you so much..." Justin is a little confused now. It is definitely not easy for White Hall to become a strong partner. This person or these people are definitely not easy. How could these people think of doing business with themselves?
Justin can understand what position he is. He looks like a company boss on the surface, but in fact he is just a small character who runs errands and does not cooperate with him. They are just simply using themselves.
"Listen, if you do this business well, I promise you will benefit a lot, and it is not impossible to even overwhelm Tony Stark." White Hall's words made Justin's heart beat, but White Hall continued to say, "But if you make a mistake... I'm afraid I can only send someone to the river outside the city to fish out your body."
Justin swallowed, and the urge to agree that he had just ignited was immediately extinguished by this plain tone.
If you do it well and you can't meet the King of Hell, this is simply a bet on life. He instinctively wants to refuse such things. What a joke, if you make a wish, I can step on Tony Stark under my feet, provided that I wear underwear outside, I will put my red shorts in my covers immediately and fly over to beat Tony up, but if I ask me to bet on my life, haha, I'd better take a shower and go to bed first.
"Sir, I sincerely thank you for your kindness, but you know I'm a little bit here recently..." Justin, who didn't want to be desperate, was immediately ready to shirk this matter, but his words were interrupted halfway.
"I can't refuse my kindness." White Hall's tone still did not fluctuate much, but it sounded cold and undeniable.
"Yes, sir, thank you for your kindness, I will do it." Justin couldn't help but tremble, and immediately changed his mind and agreed to the matter "I promise."
"Remember, Umbrella Company, security director Gil Valentine. This person will come to you in the near future. You will not regret doing this business well." White Hall hung up the phone after saying that.
Since answering this call, Justin has been very nervous. It is not that he has not checked the so-called umbrella company, but the answers he has received are all, I don’t know, I have never heard of them.
What does this mean? This umbrella company does not exist at all? How is it possible that a person with a status like White Hall can still say this matter solemnly, and it is still false? This only means that this company is not only powerful but also mysterious.
This made him even more unwilling to agree to this matter. This company is so mysterious. I believe what he does is not very obvious. If something goes wrong with them, they will definitely disappear immediately without a trace, but in the clear place, they will probably become the scapegoat for all the mistakes.
But when he thought of White Hall's undeniable tone, he did not dare to turn it off, because if he angered the gentleman, he might be not far from being finished.
So he decided to take a step by step. Anyway, he has no right to decide, and he still has a hint of luck. What if he really does the business well? Maybe he will really make a fortune as White Hall said, and he will immediately make a fortune and be able to step on Tony under his feet.
Now, after waiting for half a month with a tangled mood, the people finally came. Justin immediately took Jack to greet the representative of the Umbrella Company, the security director Gil Valentine.
At this time, Gil Valentine, who was pretending to be Sarah, had been placed in the VIP room. After Justin pushed the door and found that the situation in front of him was completely different from what he imagined, except that the other party was a woman, and there was no bodyguard in black suit and sunglasses, no secretary in charge of recording, but just a woman turned her back to the back of her desk.
The woman was wearing a purple windbreaker with a ponytail tied with a golden hair behind her head. When she turned around, Justin discovered that under the windbreaker was a purple tight-fitting suit with smooth materials and a pair of black leather boots.
Her face is also different from the charm of ordinary women, with very tough lines. In her eyes, Justin interprets two meanings: coldness and arrogance.
"Justin Hammer?" Sarah asked confirmation, "I think White Hall has introduced me to you."
"Yes, Ms. Valentine." Justin noticed that when the other party called White Hall, he did not add a gentleman. It can be seen that the other party did not need to respect White Hall so much, and the only thing that gave her this confidence was super strength.
"I'm very happy to see you. Dear lady, please allow me to introduce Hammo Industry first." After seeing the other party's attitude, Justin's words were very respectful. He wanted to introduce the situation of his company as usual to facilitate further cooperation.
"No need, we know everything about you." Sarah interrupted Justin in a very cold manner.
But this did not arouse Justin's dissatisfaction. He, or a large part of him, looks like this. People who are better at work than him will feel very dissatisfied. Finding any reason will prove that the other party is not better than him. They are just lucky.
But if the other party is much better than him, just like a mountain, they will feel that the other party is supposed to do whatever they do, and will make up for many reasons by themselves to prove that what the other party is doing is right.
"I heard that the Ministry of Defense forced you to come up with products that are comparable to Iron Man, and you want to go to Tony Stark himself?" Without extra nonsense, Sarah went straight to the topic, "Our Umbrella Company can help you do all this."
"I'm so grateful for you, but to be honest..." Justin organized the words and said, "I got a talent, and I'm already a little surprised about this matter, so..."
In fact, Justin was a little resistant to the so-called business, because no matter how it looked, it was like a little sheep and a lion doing business. There was no fairness at all. The other party was just borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, and recently he had some hope that he didn't want to do too risky things anymore.
"Ivan Vanke?" Sarah asked.
"Uh, not bad." Justin was entangled and finally admitted. Since the other party said the name so accurately, they must have known everything about themselves, as she said.
"He may not do it." Sarah said disdainfully. "I admit that he is a good scientist and may also design armor that is comparable to Iron Man, but what's the use?"
"You are using Tony's creativity. Even if you make a great armor, people in the world only think that you are copying. You will never get out of Tony's shadow in your life. Maybe you have to pay a patent fee to him."
Justin thought about it, as if what the other party said was very reasonable. Making a steel suit can indeed satisfy the Ministry of Defense, but can this prove that he defeated Tony? Everyone knows that Edison invented the light bulb, but who remembers who improved and produced the light bulb?
"What does your company mean?" Justin asked.
"We can give you weapons in total different fields. And make sure the Ministry of Defense will be very interested in this." Sarah said affirmatively.
"What is it?" Justin asked. Hearing the other party's words so affirmation, he couldn't help but become interested.
Chapter completed!
