Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 8 Mutant Act

The development of things really happened just as Jack had foreseen.

First, the fire department blamed it, and then the media relayed it, and the mutants became the targets of everyone's shouting.

Finally, Congressman Kelly bravely stood up. He submitted a bill to the Congress to allow mutants to register their real names and assess their own risks. At that time, they won the support of countless people, and they were in the limelight.

The success in Washington did not satisfy the congressman, and he ran to New York again, hoping to set off a bigger wave of anti-mutants.

At this time, Jack was in Director Joe's office.

"Joe, my friend gave me some oriental tea. Are you interested in oriental items?" Jack took out a can of Tieguanyin from his bag.

Since the last time he gave Mary a gift to win the favor of the other party, Jack found that Americans are not so rigid, but he must find the right time and reason when giving things.

"East, a mysterious place." Joe hesitated. After all, Jack is not one of his own, and there is always a hidden danger in taking the other party's things.

"Then do you mind if I put the tea leaves here with you?" Jack put the tea leaves on the table calmly, and said casually, "I haven't installed hot water in my office yet, so I can come to your place to pick up hot water at ordinary times." ?"

This rhetoric is in place!In fact, there is an independent tea room in the Environmental Protection Agency, but the two of them tacitly forgot about it.

Qiao decisively opened the tea leaves and made two cups of green tea,
"It's been a while since you came to the Environmental Protection Agency. Hasn't the logistics department prepared the equipment for you?"

Jack shook his head, "You know, I'm just here to find something interesting, so it's better not to waste taxpayers' money."

Joe seemed to understand Jack's intentions, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

In fact, Qiao really wanted Jack to quickly find the information he wanted and go back to the staff office immediately. It was clearly people from two worlds, and it was just embarrassing to be forced together.

But Jack didn't answer the question. It would be too much to treat the Director of the Environmental Protection Agency with just a box of tea.

"Joe, I have to complain that our data system is too outdated. It's a new century now, but we still rely on manual browsing of materials. It's really shameful."

"You know, we've always had a hard time applying for funding."

"I have some connections in the Murdoch Newspaper Group. I mentioned these issues in my communication with them, so they proposed to donate a set of the latest computer indexing system and some office supplies to the Environmental Protection Agency. I don't know their Is it obtrusive to donate?"

After hearing this, Joe's eyes lit up. The so-called computer index system is nothing, but "office supplies" are worth pondering.

"Really? That's a big thanks to Murdoch Newspapers."

Joe resolutely agreed, such a good thing can't be found even with a lantern.

In the United States, if a civil servant accepts other people’s money, he will basically go to jail if he is found out, and their financial review system is very abnormal. Usually, you will be found out as soon as you make a small move, but if you change it to donate to the entire organization. Again perfectly legal.

So don't be superstitious about the clean government of the United States. In fact, their behavior is even worse and more straightforward.

However, such donations are generally aimed at government officials, and only they can issue regulations and laws that are beneficial to enterprises or individuals. For affairs officials, this kind of thing is really rare.

That's why Joe was so decisive. If he didn't accept such a good thing for the whole department, he would be impeached by his subordinates tomorrow.

Seeing Joe's reaction, Jack can already confirm that 90.00% of his goal has been achieved, but in order to be safe, he made another ruthless move,
"Joe, I know you will retire soon. Are you interested in working for Murdoch Newspapers? They need someone with experience like you."

Hiring government retirees to work from home companies is also a common practice of the American bourgeoisie. In fact, because the salaries of American civil servants are not high, they do not restrict civil servants to work part-time after get off work.

For example, Mary is an administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency's reference room during the day, and may be a cashier in a supermarket at night. This is a very popular phenomenon in the United States.

Jack's fatal blow hit Joe thoroughly, so he left Joe's office in a happy mood.

Now he just needs to wait for the black material from the Plastics Association to be placed on his desk, it's that simple.

Of course, it's not easy. In order to get these chips, he has promised his stepmother, Jenny Murdoch, that he will fly back to Boston to have dinner with his father this weekend, but that is something that he should worry about on the weekend after all.

After finishing his work, Jack can slowly think about the mutants.

It was also drowsiness that hit the pillow. Just when Jack was hesitating, Caddy came to the door.

"Jack, Mr. Snader asks you to represent him in the hearing of the New York City Council tomorrow. If necessary, you must express your attitude on his behalf."

"What's the topic?"

Jack was a little confused. Snader is not like a person who changes his decision at will. He is going back to the post of press officer before the black material is found?

"Real-name registration proposal for mutants."

Well, Jack gets it, it's a hot potato!

But on such a formal occasion, he let himself go again. Isn't Snader afraid that he will screw up again?
There must be something inside.

Just looking at Caddy's indifferent face, Jack knew that he would definitely not get any useful answers, but he still had his buddy Booker.

Taking the proposal and some documents from Caddy, Jack found Booker.

"why me?"

With Booker, Jack doesn't need to beat around the bush.

"You are very lucky. Mr. Snader hasn't found a new press officer yet, and this kind of thing happened again, so I can only use you first."

Snard did not find a new press officer, but Jack could understand it. After all, the Murdoch family sign was there, and Snard would not give up on himself just because of a mistake. In the case of an official, Snader should attend by himself, how could he let himself be there?
"What has Mr. Snard been up to lately?" Jack asked tentatively, he was a little confused about Snard's latest series of actions.

"I heard that it's a big move. He and Richard have always been secretive, and I haven't seen the two of them in the office recently."

There is a real problem. Before the corn tableware promotion meeting, Snader was supposed to come forward in person, but he pushed it to himself. Now he still asked himself to come forward about the sensitive issue of mutants. What is hidden in it?
What kind of big move requires the mayor of New York to keep it so secret?
It's just that Jack has too little news now, and he was really confused for a while.
