Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

It is said to be the Justice League, but outside of a major crisis, the seven members of the alliance generally work independently, and only occasionally meet when Vera officially holds a meeting to report on work.

But once Vera gets busy, she doesn't always have time to go to the Zhenglian base. Most of the time, she will only contact Batman and Cyborg.

Therefore, when she was busy guiding the fans in the forum, she didn't even know that Zhenglian's backyard was on fire, and because of the question of "who is the leader", she was deadlocked and disputes frequently occurred.

She was too busy, and also arrogantly believed that "this little trick of sowing discord does not need to be explained", so she ignored it as a matter of course and went to her own private affairs on weekends.

Steve's fan art was so well received, she sent him another letter full of sincerity, and then drove out.

She has appointments with three governesses today.

Vera insisted that Jason receive specialized one-on-one teaching, which is actually the traditional American "home education". This education model is not uncommon in the United States, but suitable teachers are rare.

Her vision was very picky, and she interviewed nearly a hundred teachers in the past two months, but she couldn't find a suitable candidate for Jason and satisfied her.

Up to now, Vera didn't even bother to take Jason with her. She arrived at the private club at the destination on time alone, and started interviews one by one.

The first person to come for an interview was a 30-year-old man. The resume of this Mr. Grant Ward is very good:

He graduated from Brigham Young University with an Ed.D degree and served as a tutor in three religious families.Not only has rich teaching experience, but also published research papers on homeschooling.

In addition to his resume, Ward's own personality and style seem to be impeccable.

As soon as this handsome and personable man entered the private club, he attracted the attention of many ladies. However, he behaved very upright. When facing Vera, he also deliberately paid attention to etiquette. Pay more attention to Vera's face.

In the face of Vera's tricky questions about "home education", Ward's response was also very methodical. It can be seen that he is well prepared and has a lot of experience in children's education.

Vera talked with this gentleman for half an hour, and the arc of her mouth became wider and wider. At the end, she nodded repeatedly, showing that she was very satisfied with Ward.

Seeing Vera's reaction, Grant Ward couldn't help putting a smile on his face. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he relaxed a little. He was even in the mood to explain some educational issues to Vera. Simply professional:

"When I was a student at Brigham Young University, one in five students in the entire department were 'home-schooled,' so I always thought that the quality of teaching at home would be higher than private schools—"

Vera suddenly raised her hand to stop Ward.

The smile on her face became softer and more charming, she glanced at the half-empty glass in Ward's hand, and asked softly:

"Do you need a drink? The long-drink mixology here has a good reputation."

"...You can decide, Miss Senna."

Glancing vaguely at the pretty-faced Vera, Ward paused abruptly, and then answered gently after a while.

"Ok."

Vera called the waiter and ordered a special Cooler for the man in front of him.

Seeing that Ward didn't respond to this, and even wanted to continue talking about the original topic of education after the waiter left, Vera's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she said softly without changing her expression:

"It's a pleasure to have an interview with you, but I'm sorry, my child doesn't plan to go to a prestigious school."

Confident Ward: "..."

The second person who came for an interview was a young girl named Jean Gray. She was about the same age as Vera, and her resume was quite satisfactory. Compared with the previous Grete Ward, she did not have a doctorate in education, only a Teacher qualification certificate.

However, Vera chose this girl not because of her teaching experience, but because she had minored in psychology at Harvard University.

It's just... When Jean Gray actually sat in front of Vera, she couldn't help but doubt Jean Gray's resume.

There is no doubt that Qin is a very beautiful girl. She has long fiery red hair and gorgeous facial features, but she is not vulgar at all. It looks very good.

However, when Qin opened the door and walked in front of Vera, before Vera could speak, her own expression became very strange.

In front of Vera, she seemed to want to keep calm very much, but when she looked at Vera, she couldn't help showing an unbearable sadness and despair... even faintly, there was a hint of inexplicable pity.

She seemed to be afraid of Vera, but also seemed to be pitying Vera.

Vera looked back blankly, and stared at Qin.

Looking directly at her pair of emotionless green eyes, Qin seemed to suddenly realize that this was an interview. She finally withdrew those weird emotions and assumed a serious attitude of applying for the job.

Fortunately, Vera is not the kind of HR who values ​​first impressions. She frowned, and went through the recruitment process in a matter-of-fact manner, asking the other party questions.

Vera asks a few questions about psychology, and Jean answers brilliantly.

Vera asks a few questions about Harvard University, and Jean responds fluently.

Vera asked a number of questions about teaching plans and techniques, and Jean's responses were beyond reproach, which made Vera feel very satisfied.

After all the prepared questions were answered, Vera closed her eyes and said as calmly as possible that she had to go to the dressing room.

The moment Vera stood up, Qin, who had a serious face just now, was shocked, and stared at Vera in disbelief, as if seeing some monster that could not appear in this world.

After coming to the dressing room, Vera looked at herself in the mirror and was silent for a moment, then took out a recording pen from her bag.

——Because of workplace habits, this recorder has been turned on since she interviewed Grant Ward.

Vera transferred the recorded content to her mobile phone and sent it to Mary via email. Enduring some strange discomfort, she asked Mary:

"The second candidate... the one called Jean Gray, what do you think of her interview answers?"

"..."

After listening to the recording, Mary sent a series of ellipses.

"From my point of view...that's a failure."

On the phone, Mary replied coldly and objectively, "Her answer is simply a template extracted from Google, without any unique content of her own. Judging from her answer, I can't find any advantages."

As she said that, Mary asked with a little puzzlement: "...This kind of unprofessional answer is even worse than that intern in Kent. How did you let her enter the interview round? Did she falsify her resume? "

More importantly... Even she can see the shortcomings of Jean Gray. Why on earth is a picky bastard like Vera with such a satisfied tone after she finishes answering? ?

"……yes?"

Vera pinched the phone with a faint tone.

She stared at herself in the mirror, silent for a few seconds, then sneered,

"That's interesting—if she answered so unprofessionally, why is my brain still sending me the message 'Jean Gray's answer is impeccable'?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"it means--"

Vera sneered, and said casually, "My brain's judgment on her doesn't seem to be influenced by my own will, or... maybe I'm being controlled by someone?"

"—!???"

Through the phone, Mary's roar almost pierced Vera's eardrums:

"Where are you, Vera Senna? I'll pick you up now! Damn it—do you want to contact that person now?"

Vera paused, and just as she was about to speak, a waiter came outside the dressing room.

Seeing Vera, the waitress hurried forward and said awkwardly:

"Ms. Senna, the lady who came with you has already checked out - she asked me to apologize on her behalf and ordered a milk pudding for you."

Vera: "..."

After the waiter left, she took a few deep breaths on the spot, and then asked Mary who hadn't hung up the phone:

"Did you hear someone talking to me just now?"

"...I heard that, is that the waiter? She's saying that the suspicious Jean Gray has left?"

Mary was confused, "Didn't you hear her talking? Why are you asking me?"

"..."

Vera sighed secretly.

——Of course I was afraid that the waitress in front of me was also an illusion given by my brain!

After all, in her current state, how could she tell the truth from the fake?

Obviously, Mary didn't expect Vera to give her an explanation, and she hurriedly urged her worried boss to leave the private club or directly seek help from Zhenglian.

"...That's not necessary."

Vera obviously didn't intend to owe Batman any more favors. After thinking about it secretly in her heart, she sat back in her original seat and closed her eyes to rest. Then she took out her earphones and replayed the conversation between herself and Jean Gray just now. Listened to it again.

Since the other party's resume stated that he has studied psychology, in psychology, such powerful hypnotic methods are not without it.

For example, Vera knew a guy named Merritt Osborn, that bastard appeared to be a street magician, but was actually a senior hypnotist.

In addition to Merritt, Vera was also targeted by a commercial spy named Dom Cobb, and that guy was able to sneak into her dreams to explore Party A's secrets!

Thanks to these two people, Vera has always had a strange admiration for psychology, and she knows a lot about it, so she is very clear: deep and powerful hypnosis can only last for a short time.

Sure enough, after Qin left, Vera sat on the sofa and waited for a while, and when she went to listen to the interview recording again, her attitude towards Qin's answers completely returned to normal.

Like Mary's feelings, if the other party hadn't used hypnosis at the beginning, she would never be satisfied with Qin's interview performance.

At this time, half an hour had passed since Jean Gray left, and before Vera had time to wonder why the hypnotic effect created by the other party could last so long, today's third interviewer had already arrived.

The name of the third interviewer was Sarah Carter. Like Vera, Miss Carter was also French.

She first studied at Paris VII University, and later came to the United States to study Ed.D. From the perspective of resume, she is as good as Grant Ward at the beginning, but her resume lacks photos.

Vera doesn't really care about the appearance of the tutor, and generally speaking, most people who don't have a photo on their resume lack confidence in their appearance.

She was already ready to welcome a "Miss Jane Eyre", but the next second, the moment this Miss Sarah Carter walked in, even the well-informed Vera shrank her pupils slightly .

... Vera almost thought that she saw Medusa in Greek mythology.

The burgundy curly hair was a little messy behind her head, and her exquisite and charming features revealed a casual sex appeal. Even wearing a very ordinary and rigid uniform could not hide the girl's bumpy gourd-shaped figure.

She walked in with high heels, and the moment she greeted Vera, her plump and ruddy lips were slightly pursed, and an inexplicable attraction spread from her body.

After Carter walked in, the waitress who led her over didn't seem to have reacted yet. She stared at Carter blankly, as if completely immersed in Carter's temperament.

Charm is a very indescribable existence.

Due to her profession, Vera has indeed met many beautiful female models and celebrities who also have sexy figures and gorgeous looks...

But no one has Carter's wonderful and indulgent extravagant and charming temperament.

A girl like this would definitely be able to reach the top even in the entertainment circle where the beauties are like jade, but...she is willing to be a tutor for an ordinary family?

Vera glanced at Carter, and the corners of her mouth hooked inexplicably.

Seeing Vera's indifferent performance, Carter paused slightly, stroked his red hair helplessly, and sighed in distress:

"...Maybe I should really dye my hair?"

Her voice is hoarse, with a faint languid and a little French accent, but it gives people a feeling that "she is really troubled with hair color".

If the person here is not Vera, but other French people, just from Carter's words, one can immediately understand why she didn't put a photo on her resume.

Because in France, most girls with red hair are actually discriminated against by everyone.

If Carter herself was French, she would have been teased by other children for her hair color when she was a child - and almost all French people know this.

In this way, the French can immediately guess:

Carter's refusal to post photos must be because he was used to being laughed at when he was a child. When he grew up and came to the United States, he would still feel inferior because of his hair color.

In this way, it not only verified Carter's French identity, but also explained why she didn't post photos, why she was so beautiful and wanted to be a tutor, etc.

...Unfortunately, the Frenchman sitting in front of Carter is Vera.

The girl with wheat-colored hair and green eyes sat gracefully on the sofa, crossed her fingers in front of her belly, looked at Carter with interest, shook her head, and said in French:

"It's okay, I think your hair is very beautiful."

"Thank you!"

Carter also replied to Vera in French, and her accent seemed to have a little northern French accent, which sounded light and crunchy, not ambiguous at all.

Recognizing Vera's French identity, Carter seemed very pleasantly surprised. Her brows and eyes were curved, showing a very sweet smile:

"Madame Senna, are you French too?"

Vera smiled, she took out Carter's resume and looked at it, and said with some emotion:

"It's nostalgic, I used to live near the campus of the University of Paris VII. At that time, I rode my bicycle every afternoon at 05:30 to buy bread across the university's Place de la Sioux... By the way, Do you remember that prestigious bakery?"

This is actually a hidden difficulty and suspicion.

Vera's meaning is clear:

Since Carter said that she was a student of Paris VII University, she must know which bakery she was referring to.

If Carter doesn't know, it means that the girl has falsified her resume.

After finishing speaking every word, Vera's upper body leaned forward slightly, and a pair of bright and cool lake green eyes just looked at Carter without blinking.

Different from Vera's standard willow-leaf eyes, Carter's eyes are standard peach blossom eyes. The corners of her eyes are more obvious and more charming.

Although it is also green, compared to Vera, her pupils are slightly darker in color, like a calm emerald. This steady color immediately overwhelms the flirtatious beauty and charm of her body, highlighting the contradiction beauty.

In the small room, two equally good-looking girls looked at each other, obviously smiling, but the atmosphere between them became more and more stalemate.

Unaware that Vera was making things difficult for her, Carter still kept smiling. She looked at Vera gently and earnestly, and seemed to be taken aback for a moment, gradually showing a look of embarrassment.

"What a pity, Ms Senna."

Carter said with great regret, "When I was in the Seventh University, the school's school building had been moved from the Sioux campus to the left bank of Paris. I really don't remember much about the bakery on Sioux Square."

Saying this, I, who was asked lightly by Vera, sighed secretly in my heart.

...I have to say, Vera's question is really vicious and cunning.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked about the bakery in Xiyou Square. If she was an ordinary person, she might really follow her way of thinking and investigate the bakery in Xiyou Square.

But the problem is - Paris VII University, as early as a few years ago, moved the school building from Place de Sioux to the left bank of Paris!

Therefore, it is impossible for the Paris Seven students who enrolled at that stage to be familiar with Place de la Sioux.

In other words, if you really follow Vera's questioning ideas, you will be led into a misunderstanding by her in an instant, and you will be turned upside down by Vera all at once!

Hearing this, Vera smiled and didn't speak.

After this question, she finally stopped probing and sizing up Carter, and started to ask questions in the interview seriously.

As if she hit it off with this beautiful Miss Carter, the interview lasted for a full hour. When Carter was about to leave, Vera even asked the other party very friendly if she wanted a ride, even if Carter refused. Angry, it can be said that the attitude is very enthusiastic.

However, after watching Carter really leave and disappear without a trace, Vera maintained a smiling expression... and quickly called Batman.

The moment the phone was dialed and Bruce's voice came, she lowered her voice and said quickly:

"...I'm being targeted."

There was a crisp sound of something breaking on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of clothes flapping, and then came Bruce's suppressed inquiry: "What's going on?"

Vera, simply: "...someone is fooling me for a fool."

Let's not talk about Jean Gray for now.

The first one, Grant Ward kept claiming that he graduated from Brigham Young University, but Brigham Young University is a well-known Christian university, and all students entering the school must abide by the school rules of never drinking alcohol.

The third one is that Sarah Carter is absolutely impossible to be a student of the Department of Education at the University of Paris VII.

It is true that the Paris Seventh University has indeed been relocated, and it is impossible for normal Paris Seventh students to be familiar with the Place de la Sioux.

But the problem is that only the real students of the University of Paris VII and people nearby know that the whole school was indeed moved at that time, but the two colleges of education and medicine remained in the Place de la Sioux, so Sarah Carter also lied .

Bruce: "..."

Turning over from the bed, it took less than 2 minutes to pack up and prepare to go out. He positioned Vera's coordinates:

"Stay there and don't move, I'll come."
