Harley hesitated and said directly: "It's the confidentiality department."
"Huh?" A psychiatrist joining a department that requires confidentiality? However, Kai did not continue to ask. Although he could not care about the trouble of leaking secrets, the problem was that Harley could not. Will she still work? "What about your research?"
Harley really loves those mentally ill people. Now that she joins that secret department, won't her research be stopped?
"No! I still do my old job, but I can't tell anyone about a lot of things." Harley was quite happy when she talked about this. She originally worked in a mute department, which was very mysterious. Even her work ID said she was a psychological profiler for the FBI. There was no name for the department at all, but she didn't care. After all, she could study the famous Bucky. ·Barnes, this is a rare opportunity. She is very interested in that kind of brainwashing.
But soon, she changed jobs. It wasn't that she changed jobs, but she was packaged and sent to SHIELD... Harley was a little uncomfortable with this, but luckily, there wasn't much change from before. But the work ID was changed to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Since becoming the SHIELD Research Institute, she also deliberately learned about the nature of SHIELD's work, and found that she had actually become a member of the world's protectors.
It feels quite strange, but it is undeniable that the feeling of being able to protect the world is quite good.
So now Miss Harley, looking at the prosperity in front of her, is still a little proud in her heart. After all, her job is to ensure that such scenes are not disturbed. So whenever she sees people living their lives freely, she always feels a sense of relief in her heart.
Very strange.
But she also understands the mentality of those superheroes.
While the three of them were chatting, the protagonist finally arrived.
Tony was still crazy and drove his mecha down from the sky. Although this was definitely a serious violation of traffic rules, there was nothing he could do and no one cared about it.
Then it’s Mr. Mayor.
Looking at the mayor's face that is about to burst from laughter, you can tell that he has been doing well recently. Of course, the mayor of New York was recently featured in Time Magazine and was named the most capable mayor in the United States. He certainly has the right to be happy. What makes him even more happy is that if the current situation continues, re-election will not be a problem at all. .
Mr. Mayor has very clear plans for his official career.
He intends to remain in office for another term.
After all, he is still young. If he leaves the mayor's position now, he will either run for the Senate or directly run for president.
Running for Senate, that's great, but the next step is more difficult. First, he does not have enough qualifications and connections within the party to advance further. If he wants to gain greater promotion within the Senate, he needs to gain seniority. It will be very difficult to achieve results in the Senate.
In addition, exposure is also an issue.
There are many senators, but there is only one mayor of New York.
As for running for president...that's honestly not a good idea. At this stage, President Benjamin is far ahead in the polls, and many people from both parties have even begun to propose amending the constitution to relax the re-election limit so that President Benjamin can continue to sit down.
He ran to run for office, which had no meaning at all except running with him.
It is better to stay as the mayor of New York, work hard, and lay a solid political foundation. Moreover, New York is a place with high exposure. As long as you have higher qualifications, you will have more choices in the future.
After Kai and Tony chatted for a few words, they automatically found a corner and waited for the auction. After that, they could go home.
At this time Natasha also returned to Kai.
Kai took the opportunity to introduce Sharize and Hallie to her.
What Kai didn't notice was that Shalizi's expression was a little unnatural when Kai introduced her, but it passed quickly. Kai, a grown man, naturally wouldn't care about these details, but Natasha captured them very sensitively.
After chatting for a while, Shalizi and Halli left with an excuse.
After walking a few steps away, Harley suddenly said to Shalizi: "What's wrong? Are you giving up?"
The uneasiness on Shalizi's face became even more obvious: "How can I... stop talking nonsense!"
A person in her thirties actually shows a full sense of girliness, and it is not obtrusive at all, very natural, as if she was born this way. It can be seen from here that there is a reason why she has been popular for so long.
"I just like it, why should I deny it?"
Harley ignored this and pointed directly to the core of the problem.
And, in Harley's opinion, Kai is indeed a good candidate for a boyfriend. The key to being handsome, rich, and successful is to be strong!
After all, she is a young mature woman. She cannot be like a little girl and only look at her face. Many male celebrities look very handsome but take off their clothes and have very little flesh. They are not useful but attractive. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, Kai is the best choice for a boyfriend. And it's not like they don't have a relationship. When the evil murderer Freddy was there, they all faced danger together. It can be said that we share weal and woe.
Salize liked Kay, and that was evident in Los Angeles. At that time, there were rumors of an affair between them, and Shalizi did not resist, but there was no reaction from the other side. When Shalizi wanted to take the initiative, Kai transferred her away.
What? Kai had already disclosed his girlfriend at that time?
ha?
Is this thing... important?
Great America doesn't care about this. It's free. Why do we care so much?
In fact, at this stage of Shalizi's life, love problems are indeed a bit of a headache. First of all, no matter how you say it, you have reached your age. Don’t say that Americans don’t care about this. This is pure nonsense. Women all over the world feel the same about age, and they have the same anxiety when they reach that age.
Does Salize not want to get married?
At this point in her life, getting married was natural. Both the public and fans can accept it. There is no career impact.
And now that she's at this point, she won't be as busy as before. After all, once you have a position as a celebrity, you don’t need to show up frequently. Even if you take a job, it will only be a big production and a big brand. There won’t be too many opportunities like this, maybe twice a year is about right.
Materially, she basically has everything. After all, when celebrities reach a certain stage, they no longer need to make money from their own jobs. The star effect can give them more opportunities to make money. For example, Shalizi has her own production company, which specializes in producing independent films and small productions. It may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually very profitable. In addition, there are stocks, investments, etc., all of which are more than what she earns from acting.
You have money, you have time, and you want to find a man. What's the problem?
"Forget it...if you miss it, you miss it." Shalizi did not continue to discuss this issue with Harley.
At first glance, Shalizi's conditions are very good.
If Kai is really just a policeman, even if he is a superhero, Kai will definitely take advantage of this condition. But the problem is, Kai's background is more complicated than imagined. In this way, trying to steal the love from Kai's girlfriend seems a bit unreasonable.
What's more important is that the woman beside him is no worse than Shalizi.
For example, Natasha, others may have various speculations about their relationship, but Shalizi can see that their relationship is definitely not ordinary.
When they first met, Natasha took Kai's arm immediately, but Kai didn't feel uncomfortable with it at all.
Women can often see things through small details.
She immediately understood that this was the woman declaring her sovereignty.
The other person looked older than him, and he was also a senior member of the Stark Group.
Salize is not someone who gives up easily, but it depends on what she is targeting. Looking at the relationship between the two, Shalizi didn't want to look dishonorable, and she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Kai, so she decisively left with an excuse. As for that good feeling... it will never turn into feelings before it turns into love. It's just a good impression.
…
Kai was completely unaware of this little contest. He was still waiting for the auction to be finished quickly so that he could go home early. He didn't like the atmosphere here. It's so fake. You don't even need to look hard to see that everyone here is hypocritical. Sometimes Kai is confused. What are these people trying to do? They knew clearly that everyone present, including themselves, were acting with masks on, but they were all in high spirits and enjoying the atmosphere... What were you doing?
Both Tony and the mayor gave speeches, but neither of them obviously intended it to be a speech, so it was very brief.
Next, the host comes on stage. The host is a Los Angeles celebrity and a first-line female movie star. The celebrity asks questions, and the female star serves as a vase. It was determined that the purpose of raising funds was to help residents affected by disasters in cities such as San Francisco. The two people stepped down and a professional auctioneer came on stage to start the auction.
Kai felt that the simple and efficient process was pretty good, but it would be annoying if there were too many incomprehensible things.
After more than ten minutes, his idea changed. Debut commemorative records signed by celebrities, famous jewelry and special props from a certain movie are quite reasonable.
Kai even bought a signed Sharks jersey and a championship ring.
Because of Yao Ming, Kai paid attention to the NBA in his previous life, but he was not a fan. Just to watch the excitement, but now there is no shortage of money, so I can buy some souvenirs to remember my previous life.
Well, there is no Yao Ming in this world...it's a pity.
Otherwise, Yao Ming will leave the Rockets no matter what... Well, the situation is too small, why not just buy the Rockets and get rid of all those bastards who do nothing but save money!
After that, the lot got a little weird.
Dinner invitations from beautiful or handsome celebrities, VIP concert tickets, etc. are a bit like "grain in the mourning hall".
But I can barely put it down, and I have made a contribution at least. This is a charity reception. There won’t be any real treasures, antiques or works of art, and everyone is not here for the real auction. They are just carrying people in sedan chairs. You can donate money with your name, and by the way, you can also increase the visibility of those stars and celebrities. , everyone is happy.
But the later part is really unreasonable.
For example, the narrow "costumes" worn by a deceased famous female star in a famous movie were specifically marked as "unwashed", which is outrageous.
What's the use of this thing...?
When Kai and Tony went to the Victoria's Secret show together in the past, there was also a part like this. The exhibits on the models would be auctioned, and they were all freshly taken off... But that thing was originally intended to sell meat. To put it bluntly, it is to satisfy the perverted desires of LSP.
But this is a charity party! What damn clothes!
He couldn't help but lower his voice and asked Natasha: "Is anyone really going to buy this thing?"
Natasha rolled her eyes at Kai: "Yes...and quite a few..."
Sure enough, there were quite a few older people bidding, and the competition was quite fierce.
Kai saw it.
As the saying goes, your youth is youth, but other people’s youth is not? Those Laobang dishes are also very youthful.
"What can that thing be used for?"
Natasha rolled her eyes to the sky at this moment: "What do you think?"
vomit!
I knew earlier that I didn’t want to think about it, but there is a picture!
The party is private in nature, so except for a few people who are really interested in this aspect, most people will not raise the price excessively. Some items are even donated and bought back by the owners themselves, and the auction speed is very fast. After all, there is still a small show to go on after the auction ends. Many celebrities present will perform there, and the proceeds from the production and sale will be donated to the victims of the San Francisco disaster. It means eating more than you can eat, and making the best use of everything.
Of course, Kai didn't have time to see this thing, so he was about to run away, but to his surprise, Tony stopped him.
…
On the top floor of the newly built Stark Tower in New York, Kai held a wine glass and looked at the PPT on the virtual screen with a blank look on his face.
"So...what's going on with this Avengers team?"
"Well, I found that the initials of Avengers match my building, so I took the lead in registering this trademark." Tony said with a smirk on his face. That's true, Stark Tower does look a bit like the letter A with a slight slant.
That's right, Tony, that bastard, actually used the name of SHIELD's Avengers project, and even registered the trademark... In other words, if SHIELD releases press releases using Avengers this time in the future, it will Sued for copyright infringement by Tony...
This operation is very cool.
"No, I don't care about that, I mean, you're going to start a superhero league?"
Kai really didn't have any special ideas about the name. Tony was willing to call it the Shit Digging Alliance, but Kai didn't even bother.
"That's right!" Tony put away his cynicism and said seriously: "The world is completely different now from before. You have seen the previous crises. There is absolutely no future for fighting alone. The only way is to unite with each other. We can play to our greater strengths. We could have done better instead of just improvising and being like a ragtag group of people."
Tony has indeed seen what a group of superheroes can do when they come together.
But at the same time, he also saw that they could have done better.
Kai looked down at the PPT, which contained Tony's full set of ideas. There are even special supporting facilities, headquarters, bases, support personnel, intelligence collection, and a series of preparations.
Very formal.
Clearly, Tony didn't do this on a whim.
Unfortunately, Kai shook his head.
"This plan... doesn't work!"
