Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

In fact, Vera really didn't intend to deliberately investigate the true identity of the superheroes. She took the initiative to help the superheroes, which has nothing to do with who they are.

But the problem is that her thinking ability is not completely controlled by reason, especially since she has been investigating Batman for more than a month.

Seeing this man for the second time, just looking at his heavy armor and the weird cloak that can transform into a hang glider, Vera couldn't help but see the price of these equipment in her mind.

Coincidentally, not long ago, a colleague of hers at the head office just happened to get an advertising agency for a certain real estate project of the Wayne Group.

The relationship between Vera and this colleague is not bad, and she also participated in a part of the research of this real estate project - this part of the research is mainly to study the Wayne Group.

Her memory is very good, and she still clearly remembers the confusion revealed by this colleague when she chatted with her:

"I really don't understand what the chairman of the Wayne Group is thinking. I've already said it so clearly - if you want to promote it better, it's best to start directly from Mr. Wayne's bad personal image, but He didn't listen at all."

At the same time, the colleague hastened to explain:

"It's not that this recognized playboy and rich second generation is really as bad as the rumors. Except for this fresh personal promotion, Mr. Wayne can be regarded as an ideal client in other aspects."

In order to prove that Bruce Wayne is not as bad as outside rumors, colleagues cited many examples in one breath:

Wayne Group's huge investment in charity every year, Wayne Group's support for Gotham City's education industry, Wayne Group's real estate project and the win-win model of the entire Gotham City, etc.

Although Bruce Wayne was rumored to be a rich second-generation playboy, after such an objective analysis, they realized that Bruce Wayne was actually a very shrewd and skilled businessman, and he sincerely wanted to develop Gotham .

Then, here comes the most critical question, why would such a shrewd and cunning businessman ignore the impact of his personal image on the Wayne Group, and this question has been clearly raised in the group of colleagues, and he insisted on corrupting own image?

Besides, the chairman of the Wayne Group clearly has a series of girls in his fingers, so why are there such messy scandals?

At that time, Vera was talking nonsense: "From a psychological point of view, Chairman Wayne may be suffering from a hidden disease, so he insists on paranoid to prove that he can do it."

colleague:"……"

But right now, putting aside the prejudice against Bruce Wayne from the outside world, Vera suddenly discovered a very interesting fact: Batman and Bruce Wayne are actually doing the same thing.

They're all making Gotham better in their own way, albeit in a radical and exhaustive way.

They don't trust the Gotham city government: Needless to say, Batman, Bruce Wayne has rarely been involved in politics in recent years, and he doesn't invest in candidates like other groups.

Their investment in Gotham City is huge: Batman is willing to be notorious and stop Gotham gangs, and Bruce Wayne's annual donation to Gotham's education industry and charity funds is probably astronomical.

From Vera's perspective, it is natural to see that he is really doing charity, rather than using charitable funds to avoid taxes.

Vera herself is a master at manipulating public opinion, which has also caused her to disbelieve all rumors at all. As long as she has not seen and investigated with her own eyes, she will remain skeptical.

As a result, she saw Batman's angry blue eyes with her own eyes.

There are only a handful of people who dare to look directly at the ghost in the dark night, and dare to look at a man without being afraid at all. In addition to those messy coincidences before, the investigation and analysis of the chairman of the Wayne Group, the investigation and analysis of Batman... and , the kind of unconstrained imagination and aura that this advertising genius comes with.

Combining all kinds of conditions, it is really not that difficult for Vera to uncover the true identity of Batman.

——she already knew it, she just didn't say it.

"An explanation is unnecessary."

The corners of Vera's eyes were curved beautifully, and her lake-green pupils were clear and bright. She stroked her hair and asked gracefully:

"You have to sign an employment contract anyway, don't you?"

The implication is that you don't struggle, and you are allowed to investigate me clearly, and I am not allowed to join you in the army?

Batman, that is, Bruce Wayne: "..."

The expression on the face of a certain black-painted gentleman who always only appeared in the dark night and unceremoniously broke into the lady's bedroom for the second time is simply indescribable.

If Clark, who was guarding outside Vera's bedroom at this moment, could see the terrifying expression on Bruce's face, he might have rushed in to save her on the spot.

On the other hand, Vera, she was shrouded in the shadow of the man's tall figure, she clearly endured all of Batman's gloomy anger and hostility, but she didn't react at all.

Not only was she not afraid, but she was also smiling. When Batman was about to cast black shadows around him, she took the initiative to lean in front of the man, blinked angrily, and asked innocently:

"Do you want to hire me?"

Bruce: "..."

Clark: "..."

Through a wall, Clark, who was guarding outside Vera's bedroom, buried his head deeply, his shoulders were shaking wildly, and he was about to die of laughter.

He can almost imagine the mood of the bat at the moment:

You can't do it, and the methods of intimidation and intimidation are useless!What can I do!So angry!

Different from the suddenly cheerful atmosphere outside the house, inside the house was deathly silent.

The beautiful young girl and the man in thick armor stood opposite each other, less than half a meter away. Bruce, who was close, was already enveloped by the faint scent of Vera. He could see her white as soon as he lowered his head. clavicle.

Even so, the eyes they looked at each other were full of hostility.

Bruce was arrogant and gloomy, Vera was provocative and forceful, no one looked away, no one took half a step back.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Bruce was the first to move.

Just when Clark thought he was going to run away in anger from Vera again, he suddenly stretched out his hand towards the woman in front of him.

The big hand covered with metal gloves and claws, which had saved Vera twice and strangled her enough, landed directly on Vera's head.

Before Vera was alert, Bruce lowered his head suddenly.

Without even giving Vera a chance to retreat, those jewel-like blue eyes crashed into Vera's eyes, but this time, those gloomy and cold lights disappeared.

A deep and cold unfamiliar voice that sounded so pleasant that one would feel dizzy after drinking a glass of red wine rang in Vera's ears. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Bruce Wayne's original voice after he threw away the voice changer. .

"……if you are willing to."

The ghost in the dark night looked at Vera, his eyes slowly deepened.

"Just say yes to me."

……

The smile on Clark's mouth stopped abruptly.

He straightened up and looked at Batman's back expressionlessly, with a red light of ability shining in his eyes.

A wind crept in through the crack of the glass door opened by Batman, and the cool autumn breeze dispelled the slightly stuffy heat in the room.

All of a sudden, the minds of the three inside and outside were switched, but no one spoke.

After the silence, Vera, who was immobilized by the man, sighed.

She said: "OK".

Outside, Clark lowered his head and indifferently spread his fists that he didn't know when to clenched.

In the palm of his hand, the USB flash drive that he held carefully and stored his internship plan has turned into a pile of metallic powder.

... Time flies by.

When Washington officially enters fall, the weather is bright and sunny.

This is a rare weekend. When Vera really took Jason to interview the tutor, Steve, who was already on fire, organized the plenary meeting of the Super Seven again.

"You can't just drag an ordinary person into this dangerous situation."

Before the meeting could begin, Superman stopped Batman in a hallway outside the base.

After the meeting broke up because no one was present at the last meeting, this time, under Steve's organization, the seven emerging heroes of the Great Washington War finally gathered in Washington again, even those far away in the universe. The Green Lantern on the other end finally came back.

The five superheroes sitting in the conference room all noticed the dispute between Batman and Superman outside the corridor, and they pricked up their ears at the same time, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Green Lantern immediately used the light ring to conjure up a bug, and directed towards the lightning The direction of Xia and Wonder Woman winked.

——Hurry up and hold your melons!There is excitement outside!

Regrettably, Batman obviously didn't intend to quarrel with Superman in the corridor. He pushed open the door and walked into the conference room without turning back, only to throw a cold sentence:

"Sorry, I thought the list you sent me was full of ordinary people."

"..."

Superman didn't speak, and his face became even uglier.

"Everyone is here? Very good."

Seeing that the last Superman closed the door of the conference room, Steve knocked on the table, took a deep breath, and took out the materials he had prepared:

"I think people should know the purpose of this meeting - we need to talk about the current public calls for the Super Seven to be controlled by the government."

As the Super Seven's liaison to the government, Steve has been haggard for more than a week.

Although he is a colonel of the U.S. Air Force, but out of special consideration for Diana, his elbows have been turning in the direction of Diana, so he has been working on this matter, trying to protect Chaoying's interests.

It is a pity that his rights are not that great, and the current public opinion situation has not been resolved for a long time. The government and the military exerted pressure at the same time, but it made Steve miserable, like a sandwich biscuit.

It's not that he didn't follow Superman's suggestion to find a suitable public relations group to solve the problem in private, but when the other party heard that they were going to work for the Super Seven, they rejected it almost immediately.

Public relations experts with strong business ability cherish feathers and don’t want to stand out for it. Steve, a public relations team with weak business ability, doesn’t like it either. He always feels that letting these people mess around will make the situation worse and worse. Down, naturally, from worse to worse.

Thinking of the successive bumps in the past few days, Steve pressed his temples, distributed the information to everyone with a headache, and said heartbrokenly:

"In view of the growing public opinion, the White House has sent people to investigate and inquire. Several generals in the military have also contacted me directly, hoping to communicate with you. I hope you can give me a clear attitude immediately."

This is a very cryptic statement. In fact, in the past few days when public opinion has been aroused, Steve has received calls and invitations from different people every day, giving both favors and threats.

The White House team represented by Walker, the ambitious Republican Party, several generals who are completely at odds with the Navy and Air Force...for a while, it seems that everyone is focusing on the Super Seven.

What these people mean inside and outside the words is nothing more than wanting Steve to set up a special Chaoying control team to eat the delicious cake of Chaoying first.

"A clear attitude?"

The Green Lantern sitting farthest away crossed his arms and sneered, "I have nothing to say to those people... especially the Air Force."

He made it clear that he just didn't cooperate, and he didn't bother to talk to these people... Of course, it was within Steve's expectation.

The Air Force Colonel sighed, and couldn't help but look at Wonder Woman, whose reaction was even stronger than Green Lantern's:

"I am the special envoy sent by Paradise Island to the United States. What right do humans have to control me?"

The rest of the people didn't speak, but judging from everyone's stern faces, their attitudes were the same as those of Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.

Steve's headache got worse.

He didn't know how to explain the hidden scheming to this group of superheroes who used to use force to solve problems:

Since the Super Seven was rewarded by Walker, they are no longer just superpowers, and naturally it is impossible to ignore the opinions of the government and public opinion like before the Washington War.

What's more, this time, whether it is public opinion, the attitude of the government, or the military, it has been very clear. Even if the Super Seven refuses, there will be a next time, and the next time, they will always find a way to achieve own purpose.

Being in it, Steve knew very well... This time, what they want is not to swallow the cake of Chaoying directly, but a chance to negotiate.

The government's control cannot be achieved overnight. Of course, they guessed the rebellious sentiment that the Super Seven would have - what they want is for the seven people in front of them to cut out a small piece of cake first.

Steve sighed: "Unfortunately, my suggestion is... You'd better send a representative to have a good talk with me at the White House."

???

We didn't do anything, why should we negotiate?

Green Lantern and Wonder Woman raised their eyebrows at the same time:

"we do not--"

"—we're not going."

Before the two could jump up, Batman spoke abruptly.

"But the public opinion side—"

"Don't worry about public opinion, I have my own arrangements."

Batman stood up, staring at Steve, shaking his head.

"You can talk to the White House, or you can not talk, we don't have to do anything now."

"Are you crazy?"

Steve stood up too, and he stared at Batman in disbelief, "Batman, I thought you'd understand, we have to do something to calm the public outrage..."

"—we just have to wait."

The night ghost in pitch-black armor is determined and calm.

Confused Steve: ?

Wait, what are you waiting for? ?

At the same time, Vera, who had been busy all night, stood up from the computer.

Facing the rising sun, she relaxed and stretched.

--Time is up.

She has come back.
