Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

"So you really said that?!"

In the office, Mary stared at Vera dumbfounded—ever since she knew that Vera had been cooperating with the Justice League and secretly helping Zhenglian in trouble, she was afraid that her boss would get bigger and bigger in the end, and she would be caught by the Justice League. the enemy is staring at.

As a result, Vera put on a wonderful performance of "I can offend both teammates and enemies" for her in real time.

Mary couldn't believe it: "In front of the two most famous and popular superheroes in the Justice League, you actually said that the real national boyfriend is Steve?"

Do you want to die?Are you really not afraid that Superman and Batman will wear shoes for you?

Vera turned a deaf ear to Mary's constant nagging.

She sat at her desk, answered emails as if nothing had happened, and after finishing her work, she took out the annual financial statements of Wayne Group and looked through them.

——She flatly rejected Stark Industries at the very beginning, but she was obviously still hesitating when faced with Wayne Group's invitation.

Today is the weekend, and Vera, who works overtime on a voluntary basis, rarely returns home in the evening. Under the warm invitation of Mrs. Wigner, Mary reluctantly stays for dinner, so Mrs. Wigner also knows about the gossip.

Mary concealed the truth and only talked about Vera's choice of "National Boyfriend", and the old lady couldn't laugh anymore.

Jason nodded in agreement seriously. Remembering that some bastard old man asked him to do his homework all day with a cold face, he took a bite of the bread viciously, and gave Vera a sideways look:

"Others don't know, but Batman is not a suitable boyfriend anyway."

Did you hear?

I don't like Batman, I hate that bastard, hope you know!

Vera:  …

Clark: ...

Who did this kid learn his vengeful character from?

(Vera: It's definitely not me anyway)

"We Vera's aesthetics are different from most people's, right?"

Mrs. Wigner smiled and asked teasingly, "Aren't Superman and Batman bad? Isn't Mr. Wayne who came to pick you up for a date earlier?"

Clark, who was sitting across from Vera eating, stiffened his hand holding the knife and fork, and quickly returned to his original normal appearance, pretending to be helpless and somewhat cowering while eating with his head down.

Vera could pretend not to hear Mary's muttering, but Mrs. Wigner asked, she put down the knife and fork and stopped eating, and analyzed seriously and honestly:

"In terms of public aesthetics...I think Steve is the best fit for this title."

Jason:?

The child seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he couldn't even eat:

How did he get rid of Batman, and what kind of Steve came out? ?

For Vera:

Fake National Boyfriends——Superman who lives on his face & Batman who is cold and affectionate

The real boyfriend of the nation—Steve Rogers, who is upright, serious, gentle, honest, handsome and dignified.

"Steve?"

Mrs. Wigner was a little surprised, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Who is Steve? Is he a new employee in your company?"

As an old woman who regards Vera as her daughter and very much hopes that she can be accompanied by someone, Mrs. Wigner suddenly burst into amazing enthusiasm on the topic of "Steve".

You know, this is the first time she has known Vera for so many years, and this is the first time she has heard this girl praise a man so frankly, and unreservedly regard him as an "ideal boyfriend"... It is obvious that she likes him, right? !

When Mrs. Wigner asked such a question, everyone at the table couldn't eat anymore. Except for Mary, Jason and Clark raised their heads almost at the same time, and looked at Vera complicatedly and probingly.

Facing Mrs. Wigner's question, Vera replied slowly: "...a partner."

"That--!"

You and that Steve...?

Mrs. Wigner's eyes flashed brightly, and just about to ask, she heard Vera continue:

"I hired him to do illustrations, and he's a great partner."

The smile on Mrs. Wigner's face froze suddenly.

Vera explained with a serious face:

"I really appreciate Steve's positive attitude towards work. Whenever I ask him to revise a manuscript, he will reply to me within 10 minutes."

For example, at three o'clock in the morning, six o'clock in the morning, etc., she will contact the other party whenever she finds something that needs to be changed, and Steve will definitely go online on time and reply to her.

"Steve's work efficiency is also very high. If I raise any dissatisfaction in the drawing, he can basically correct it within a day. It can be seen that he is very responsible for his work."

I remember that she once asked Steve to add money to correct the bugs in the drawing, but the other party said "it's not a matter of money", and then changed the manuscript without taking the money.

"Of course, apart from work, he is calm and reliable, and his gentle temper is also a plus. I have worked with many illustrators, and he is the only one among all my partners who does not curse."

To be precise, the words are very gentle, even if it is questioning or arguing, there will be no overly intense emotions. Vera appreciates this very much.

"And after the manuscript was delivered, Steve would not ask me about the role of these drawings, which is very professional."

In fact, after Steve handed over the final product to Vera, he never spoke a word to her again, and his whole body became inexplicably emaciated, but it didn't matter, and it didn't affect Vera's almost perfect affection for him.

Mrs. Wigner: "..."

Everyone:"…………"

Isn't this the whole process of a hapless illustrator being tortured by you to autism? ? !

They can all imagine the tragic picture of the other party being called over to revise the manuscript countless times to the point of having a nervous breakdown, and finally saying "I don't want money, please let me go" in pain!

With Vera's fault-finding eyes, that poor guy named Steve had a good temper if he didn't quit on the spot!

Both Clark and Jason were silent.

One big and one small covered their eyes at the same time, their shoulders shaking wildly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Vera still has a straight face:

"In my opinion, Steve (work) is serious and responsible, with a gentle and calm temper (mind is not broken), and (as a partner) is comfortable to get along with. He is a well-deserved ideal boyfriend (partner), and I am very much looking forward to working with him The next meeting (cooperation)."

Mrs Wigner: .

Mrs. Wigner: Oh.

...It is better to expect a meteorite to hit the earth than to expect Vera to suddenly become a love brain.

After tormenting Steve Rogers for half a month and being critical to the extreme, she finally got two perfect portraits of "Batman".

She showed the original manuscripts of these two paintings to the superheroes and Trevor of Zhenglian, and won unanimous praise from everyone.

In order to create that these two works are the random graffiti of an illustrator, the original manuscripts were not painted in oil, but were drawn with watercolors and markers.

However, it just doesn't seem so serious, like a casual work, but in fact, the painstaking effort spent is almost the same as that of a serious portrait.

These two paintings are portraits based on the characters of "Lynn's Batman" in the novel "Bad and Sweet":

Light golden hair that is as bright and soft as the sun, deep eyes that are as quiet and gentle as emeralds, a stern expression that is close to perfection, pale thin lips that are tightly pursed, and a thin and powerful figure

The reason why there are two paintings is because these two paintings respectively embody the two different identities of "Batman" in the dark night and in the daytime.

During the day, he is the famous Dr. Lynn, who controls most of the shares in the private hospital, so Lynn in the first picture is wearing a white coat and a pair of flat glasses, which hide the sharpness in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth are slightly Evoked, with a seemingly gentle, but actually cold and alienated smile.

And in the dark night, he turned into the nightmarish Batman, the unknown dark night knight in Gotham, so the Batman in the second picture is wearing a black armor, he lifted his mask, revealing the perfect picture Face.Different from the daytime, in the dark night, his whole body is like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath, showing its sharp edge, with a sharp killing intent.

Not only that, the two paintings of day and night complement each other, and their compositions are mirror images of each other, which makes people know at a glance that this is an allusion to Lynn's transformation between Batman and Doctor.

I have to say that the Batman portrayed in these two paintings is really in line with the character design of "Bad and Sweet". Just looking at these two paintings, you will be involuntarily addicted to Lynn in the painting, and want to see it even more. novel.

Everyone was amazed, but Bruce, as the person who was drawn by the excellent character design, remained expressionless.

After the meeting, he found Vera alone, blocked the girl in a secluded corner of the base, and asked in a deep voice:

"You released these two paintings at a time when the forum vote is not yet clear and fans are arguing endlessly. Are you setting off a conflict between the two?"

From Bruce's point of view, Vera had some irrational thoughts yesterday because of the internal strife among fans, and today she released these two paintings—it's hard for him not to question the girl's purpose .

You know, the atmosphere in the forum is still bad. There are many conflicts between the readers of "Bad and Sweet" (Bruce is not willing to admit that these readers are fans) and Superman supporters. It caused a mess in the forum.

The "National Boyfriend" voting post is still hanging high on the homepage, which has aroused the disgust of people from two factions. If Vera puts these two pictures of people on it as a "reader of "Bad and Sweet" at this time , It is tantamount to adding fuel to this scolding war.

Bruce does not agree with this decision, he wants Vera to solve the problem of scolding in the forum first, it is best to clarify to the public that "there is no contradiction between Superman and Batman" before proceeding to the next step.

The man's face was gloomy, and the exposed lower half of his face was thin and his lips were tightly pressed. As soon as Vera looked over, she knew that he was in a bad mood.

Her whole body was covered in the shadow of Batman, and she smiled slightly when she heard the words:

"Are you afraid that your popularity will intensify the fan dispute between you and Superman, and eventually Superman will not get along with you? - To be honest, if you are willing to follow my original proposal, I guarantee that Superman will go around in the future. with you."

Bruce: "..."

He coughed, folded his arms around his chest, and stared down at Vera with blue eyes, with cold anger flashing in his eyes.

For any disagreement between public figures, in addition to direct clarification, there is another model, which is to shape the love and hatred between the two people. In layman's terms, it is to fry CP.

Compared with the former, of course, the latter is more topical and can arouse people's discussion.

Based on Bruce's understanding of Vera, this girl definitely wanted to attract topics with the idea of ​​"putting Batman and Superman together" from the beginning, so she let the fan disputes in the forum go unnoticed.

Although Bruce really doesn't care much about Batman's reputation, it definitely doesn't mean that he would be happy to be recognized as a gay!

Thinking of this, someone's face became even colder. He approached Vera, pretending to hold her tightly, and said in a soft and dangerous voice:

"If any of the 'unspeakable affair between Batman and Superman' pops up on the forums—trust me, Cena, you don't want Bruce Wayne to show up at your office door and confess to you."

You do the first day, I do the fifteenth, see who loses the most.

Vera: "..."

Bruce Wayne, you are ruthless!

Vera, who has never been threatened like this before, gave a sneer sneer, and raised her head unconvincingly, and smiled (threatened) with a broken can:

"If there's anything in the news reports about 'the unspeakable affair between Bruce Wayne and Vera Senna' - that'd be great, I'm moving to Wayne Manor tomorrow and announcing that we're about to get married , with the wedding came the CP of the century between Superman and Batman."

Want to threaten me?I'll smash the negotiating table right now, let's see what you do!

Bruce: "..."

Vera: "..."

……

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

The two stared at each other for two seconds, and gradually realized that they had just suddenly said something stupid. ==

Reason suddenly returned, Bruce withdrew his hand suddenly, took a step back from Vera, and said coldly:

"You first settle the disputes in the current forum."

Vera lowered her head and straightened her hair, then flatly refused: "I said - no, can, solve, solve."

Seeing that Bruce was getting lucky again, she then talked about the serious question:

"...The current Justice League still needs you to 'disagree'."

Bruce froze suddenly.

His blue eyes flickered for a moment, and he understood Vera's meaning in an instant, and his jaw tightened violently.

"I know that these conflicts and disputes are caused by someone behind the scenes, and I also know that Cyborg is already investigating."

Vera bit her lower lip and said flatly, "However, these disputes and misunderstandings... are actually beneficial to you."

In fact, if no one is behind the scenes, Vera will also consider releasing some gossip about "discord within the Justice League". Of course, she will not name and name who is in conflict with whom, but it will definitely cause some people to misunderstand .

She does it for balance.

At the current strength of the Justice League, each of them is comparable to the most elite army, and now, they are united.

That alone would be enough to make many heads of state hungry, and add to that the increased public popularity of Superman and Batman—Walker must now be fidgeting and barely sleeping.

Vera never thought it would be a good idea to drive existences such as the White House or the military capital group to a dead end—the rabbit bit people when it was in a hurry, driving the Walker government into a corner, and they were all thinking about how to suppress Chaoying. what is the benefit?

By that time, the entire United States will be in chaos and social turmoil, which will run counter to the original intention of the Justice League.

So, how to make the Walker government and other capital groups relax their vigilance and stop staring at Zhenglian wholeheartedly?

... Just create the illusion of discord in the team.

One side stands for Superman, the other side stands for Batman, and the two sides are tit-for-tat. Only then will the Walker government and other interest groups feel that the superheroes can take advantage of them and mediate from them-just to maintain a balance.

"Who made you the only superhero alliance that stood up so far?"

Vera stroked her hair, chuckled, and looked at Bruce meaningfully:

"If Zhenglian is always united, do you believe that the Walker government will definitely recruit another super team to fight against you?"

Unless in the future, another superhero team is really born, and Zhenglian can fight... Otherwise, it is more convenient for you to "disagree".

"..."

After being silent for a long time, Bruce said quietly:

"So, what does that have to do with all your thinking about making Batman and Superman fall in love and kill each other?"

Vera blinked, and bluntly said nonsense:

"Ah, because of the fight at the head of the bed and the end of the bed?"

The image of you falling in love and killing each other is good and bad for a while, isn't it convenient for me to control public opinion!

——Let’s talk nonsense!

Gotham's well-known playboy laughed angrily: "I think you want to be 'married'?"

Vera, without showing any weakness: "I think you want Superman, Batman and someone else to have a love triangle—"

... Halfway through the conversation, the two of them suddenly stopped in unison.

Vera looked at Bruce, and Bruce looked at Vera.

Almost at the same time, blessings came to their hearts, and the two spoke at the same time:

Vera, eager to try: "To tell you the truth, I suddenly had a bold idea..."

Bruce, weakly: "...you'd better consult Diana and Trevor first, thank you."
