Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

Move to Wayne Mansion, or hire a new assistant?

...does this even need to be asked?

Vera, without thinking: "I will find a safe house that is closer to the company."

In this way, Mary can run on both sides, neither taking care of her nor delaying work.

Mary: "..."

For Vera, who has a strong sense of domain, letting her move to Wayne Manor is equivalent to moving to Bruce Wayne's territory. She is not used to making decisions on that territory.

As for the appointment of a new assistant, Clark Kent is indeed not a problem. He is Mrs. Wigner's nephew and lives with her, so life must be convenient, but...

"He's so annoying."

Vera said blankly.

Take the previous example, although Clark and Vera are in the same company, they basically don't meet each other in the company, and even have different commuting times. The two of them only meet when Vera is at home.

But when Vera was at home, Clark replaced Mrs. Wigner every day, urging her to eat, urging her to rest, urging her to go downstairs, urging her to go for a walk...

I know it's good intentions, but it's annoying.

Mary pretended not to hear Vera's words, she clapped her hands happily and praised:

"Okay, it's him!"

The one who can annoy his jerk boss without throwing a temper tantrum, and who can pay attention to Vera's daily life all the time——Clark Kent, it's you!

Vera: "..."

Just do what you say, just when Clark's internship expires and officially joins the company, Mary finds Clark in the company and informs him to become Vera's new assistant.

There are quite a few interns like Clark in the company. When they saw the assistant of Director Senna running over to invite Clark Kent, almost all the interns involuntarily showed expressions of explosion.

——They are also interns who become full-timers, why!This kid!Can directly serve as the assistant to Director Senna! ? ?

Facing the sour eyes full of jealousy behind him, Clark frowned, and asked in disbelief:

"Is this...Miss Senna's meaning?"

Long before joining the company, he had already asked Vera about the assistant.

At that time, the girl refused him without hesitation on the grounds that she had Mary—now that Clark recalled it, he still couldn't hide the sourness in his heart.

But after thinking about it, considering Vera's current physical condition and safety issues, Mary's assistant is definitely not enough... In other words, maybe Vera still remembers what he said back then?

His brows suddenly relaxed, and the faint smell of lemon in his heart disappeared. His eyes lit up, and he looked at Mary expectantly.

Mary: "No."

Clark: "..."

Clark: "Oh."

"I asked the personnel to provide an additional assistant to the director."

Mary: "To tell you the truth, Director Senna hasn't been home for the past few days. It's not because she said she went on a business trip, but because she was hospitalized."

"Because of this, I need another assistant to help, take care of her in the hospital, stay in the hospital [-]/[-] according to her schedule, can you understand? Not a general assistant, but a life assistant."

As she said that, although Mary had a calm face, she still showed a trace of apology.

Thinking about it, from Clark's point of view, he finally got into a top advertising company and worked hard as an intern for three months in order to get into the planning team under Vera.

As a result, when she did this, Clark Kent somehow became a life assistant, and his professionalism was in vain, and no one could accept it.

Mary, with a little guilt: "Of course, if you don't want to, I won't—" insisted.

Clark, categorically: "I do."

life assistant?Taking care of Vera?Stay by her side all day and urge her to eat and sleep well?

Clark, serious face: I think I can!

Mary: "?"

Why did this person suddenly become excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood? ? ?

Two assistants, a life assistant, and a real creative director assistant, the concepts of the two are definitely different.

Mary wanted to stay in the hospital to take care of Vera, but she would never let a newcomer take such an important position, and Clark, a rookie who had just joined the company, did not have the courage to convince Vera's team members.

A consensus was reached on Vera's physical condition. Under Mary's rare strength, Vera, who didn't want to go to Gotham, called Bruce and said that she would not move to Wayne Manor.

If it were before, when he heard Vera say that, Bruce would nod at most and let the girl do whatever he wanted.

But now, after being rejected by Vera, he felt inexplicably unhappy that "it was hard for him to invite him and he was beaten back", so it was rare for him to ask:

"Are you going to choose a safe house near Sterling Cooper's company?"

"Correct."

"How are you going to address your personal biological needs?"

There was something wrong with Bruce's question.

"Mary insists on this arrangement."

Vera pretended to sigh helplessly, "She persuaded Clark Kent to come over to be my life assistant—he just needs to stay with me in the safe house."

Bruce: "..."

Bruce: "Oh."

"how?"

Sensing keenly that something seemed wrong with the other party's emotions, Vera asked lightly, "Is there something wrong with Clark Kent?"

With Batman's suspicious level, Vera always felt that when he sneaked into her bedroom, he had already investigated her past and surroundings clearly.

In addition, Bruce Wayne had seen Clark with his own eyes, and Vera didn't think he would let a person with any flaws in his identity and background stay by his side—so, she also acquiesced in Mary's behavior of pushing Clark over. .

What's wrong with Clark Kent?

The problem is big!

The guy who is obviously paying attention to his surroundings all the time, who has to change his clothes and fly out to save the world from time to time, still has time to go to take care of a girl around the clock, and deliberately hides his identity from Senna, it's damn outrageous!

Bruce said in a cold tone, "No."

Then hung up.

Hearing the man's concise and decisive answer, Vera's eyes flickered.

No problem...?

Mary's efficiency was very fast, and the personnel affairs immediately went through the formalities for Clark. He took the transfer letter and rushed to the hospital to take care of Vera that day.

In front of Vera, a certain showman's acting skills put on a wonderful performance for Vera, "God, Miss Senna, why are you injured so badly", with an unbelievable, distressed and guilty look Half-truth, half-false, it really looks like that.

Vera was half lying on the hospital bed, squinting her eyes, quietly looking at the seemingly simple and silly rural boy in front of her, her eyes were mysterious and unpredictable.

Not long after Clark arrived, someone knocked on the door of Vera's ward.

Before opening the door, through his ability, he saw the blond man standing outside the door, which happened to be the one he was almost beaten by himself a few days ago, and Clark inevitably froze.

A few days ago, the captain of the United States, Steve Rogers, who almost got into a fight with Zhenglian, finally waited for Vera's free time after a busy few days, and knocked on the door of the ward.

As Vera's former party B, he knows a lot about Vera's temper. Therefore, even if the identities of both parties have been exposed, he will still make an appointment with Vera in advance according to the previous rules, and considerately confirm her physical condition. , and then came to visit the sick.

Because it was a medical visit, it was rare for him to wear a more formal suit and leather shoes.

Although it is relatively simple and cheap, because of Steve's appearance, figure and temperament, he has obviously attracted the attention of many girls along the way.

Moreover, his behavior is very old-fashioned. When he came to visit the sick, he actually held a bouquet of carefully wrapped flowers in a serious manner, which seemed extraordinarily solemn and personable.

Compared with Steve, who has sharp brows, star-eyed eyes and a stern temperament, Clark, who had deliberately hunched his back, acted timidly, and used Kryptonian glasses to cover up his appearance, seemed even more petty and unworthy of the stage.

Clark: "..."

…By the way, Steve Rogers also happened to be the standard "national boyfriend" in Vera's mind.

Out of the need for conversation, Vera asked Clark to go out temporarily. The moment Clark passed by the captain, Steve couldn't help but glance at the life assistant.

Anyway, Captain America is also a person who really struggled all the way from the bloody storm of World War II. He led the Roaring Commando to complete so many missions, and he has long cultivated his extraordinary vigilance and sensitivity Spend.

This kind of sensitivity is different from Vera's sensitivity as an ordinary person. Steve's perception is more like an acquired fighting instinct.

When the door of the ward was closed again and Steve was invited to sit by the bed, he still couldn't help showing a subtle puzzled expression.

Seeing the other party's sudden and inexplicable performance, Vera blinked and said casually:

"Sorry, my recent situation is quite special, so it is inevitable that there will be some personnel changes around me."

At first glance, this sentence seemed to be complaining about the unwarranted disaster he had suffered. Steve was taken aback, and guilt surged up, and he immediately said:

"This necessary personnel change is very necessary, Miss Senna, for your current safety considerations, choosing a reliable bodyguard is indeed a top priority."

Obviously, he also learned the news that the blonde spy who almost killed Vera died for no reason. Like Bruce and the others, Steve didn't care about the death of the female spy, but worried about Vera's safety.

He came to visit this time, in addition to the necessary thanks, he also wanted to remind Vera.

By deceiving honest people to get the answers she wants, Vera just smiled.

Clark Kent is usually so cowardly that he doesn't even dare to yell at roadside thieves, but he can be defined as a "reliable bodyguard" by Captain America, who has a high vision...

Ha ha.

Well done Bruce Wayne.

There was a hint of coolness in the lake-green eyes, and Vera twitched the corners of her mouth, chatting with Steve as if nothing had happened.

Unlike Nick Fury, who had ulterior motives, Steve came to visit the doctor, which was a real visit, and apologized for his previous actions and mistakes.

He has a frank and honest personality. Once he learned the cause and effect of this incident from Batman, he felt extremely guilty and uneasy. He always felt that Vera was targeted by the group of hydra and was seriously injured. It was all thanks to him.

"If I hadn't been careless and chose the address of the meeting in Brooklyn, this incident might not have happened."

Steve sighed, taking all the responsibility on himself, his eyes were like cornflowers, clean and sincere, "...I'm sorry, Miss Senna."

Faced with such an earnest and sincere apology, Vera pursed her lips a little unaccustomed, and quickly changed the subject, asking lazily:

"So, Captain, since you know that I am working for the Justice League, you can probably guess the purpose of the two paintings I asked you to paint, right?"

Steve: "..."

Miss Senna!What is going on in your mind at this moment? ! !

The expression on the face of the handsome man who was apologizing sincerely froze immediately. He didn't know whether he remembered the sadness when he was squeezed by Party A in front of him or something else, and his whole body froze.

Immediately afterwards, the man's cheeks, which were easy to handle and relaxed, started to have an inexplicable fever, his ears quickly turned red, and his skin temperature instantly increased several degrees. He stammered and said:

"... Fury told me."

"What did he say?"

Vera immediately became interested, and asked curiously and maliciously.

"He just said, I was actually drawing... the Batman novel, uh, Batman him, his bad and sweet character illustrations."

In just one sentence, he stuttered several times. Steve, who had a calm and calm appearance, was defeated by Vera's continuous questioning, and finally revealed his old-fashioned side, and even said the shameful name of a girl fan. are extremely difficult.

You know, when Fury really mentioned it to him afterwards and showed him the "Bad and Sweet" article on the forum, Steve was a little bit broken.

Reluctantly holding back his toothache, after reading the fanfic, the poor old antique really thought that the Batman in the real world was Lynn in the novel, and even thought about Mr. Lynn with worry. What should I do if my identity is exposed, and whether the Gotham gang will come to my door.

Then Fury said that this is a fanfiction, a gimmick deliberately made by Vera to promote the superheroes of the Justice League.

Steve: ==

...you people in the 21st century really know how to play.

Vera smiled and said, "Of course it can't be compared with the wartime propaganda methods back then."

After the captain of the United States was injected with the serum, the first use was not to go to war, but to follow a group of girls to the stage to dance lap dances!

"……what."

Steve still had a vivid memory of his dark history. He touched his nose and smiled helplessly, "It was a special situation during wartime. To be honest, on that stage, my attractiveness was indeed not there yet. The girls behind me are strong."

Before officially leading the army, Captain America was just a tool man on the stage to boost morale and promote to the soldiers and the public. He also danced with those girls, and once stood on the stage and pointed to the sky. Phrases such as "Hitler go to hell" and "God bless America".

Although many people think that this may be the biggest black history of the US team, Steve himself doesn't really care that much.

Even though he was a little frustrated and depressed during the stage performance stage, but after fighting in the war and seeing the encouraging and inspiring effect of these songs and dances on soldiers, Steve still understood the importance of public opinion propaganda in wartime, so he also learned about it later. relieved.

This is why when he woke up and found that the term Captain America had become the endorsement of some kind of spiritual leader, he was in a complicated mood but accepted it well. He really understood and got used to it.

Not only that, seeing that Vera was very interested, he smiled tolerantly, and with the idea of ​​coaxing the patient, he simply told the dark history of how he walked on the stage, how he promoted, how he danced on stage to show off his muscles and figure Pick and choose said a bit.

As a result, Vera was thoughtful after listening, and there was something wrong with her brain circuit:

"Take the opportunity to dance on stage to show off your muscles and body..."

Steve: "..."

I'm sorry, everyone in Zhenglian, I may have tricked you ==

Fortunately, Vera only briefly mentioned this idea, and then quickly changed the subject. She looked at Steve and suddenly asked:

"So, Captain, have you changed your mind?"

"?"

Steve was stunned for a moment before realizing that Vera still had the idea of ​​asking him for a draft.

He suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "Senna, you may not know that the Justice League has helped me a lot. After that, I may have a long period of time = I have no skills..."

After taking over his old friend Bucky from Batman, Steve has been working hard to recover his friend's body. Before Bucky woke up, he probably didn't have much time to pick up any illustrations.

"I know."

Vera raised her eyebrows. As someone who knew that Zhenglian rescued Barnes earlier than Steve himself, she calmly and meaningfully asked:

"But isn't that why you 'become' the Justice League illustrator?"

Steve's evasion came to an abrupt end, and he swallowed back the rejection in an instant.

The expression on his face suddenly became serious, and his deep eyes looked straight at Vera, while the latter acted as if nothing had happened, smiling slyly at him without hiding anything.

There was a few seconds of silence between the two, and neither of them spoke.

Noticing the color of realization gradually rising in Steve's eyes, Vera said slowly and softly:

"It is precisely because you have an old friend who is unconscious behind you, captain, that you should draw closer to us."

Everyone knows that getting your friend back to life is a big deal, and everyone knows that Captain America owes Captain America a huge debt to do it... Guess the government and military will use Barnes to hold you down ?

After finally finding out the weakness of the spiritual leader Captain America, will those people let it go?

But if Steve really moves closer to the Justice League, they will naturally have scruples, and they are also afraid of offending people, making Captain America completely biased towards the Justice League.

"It's certainly not good for Captain America to clearly favor the Justice League on the bright side, but Steve Rogers became the illustrator of the Justice League... It's a kind of accidental coincidence, right?"

Vera stared at the unpredictable Steve with firm eyes, but her voice was so vague that she could hardly hear it.

——In this way, the Justice League, the government, and Captain America can just maintain a false balance among the three parties, a completely stable triangle.

The room was dead silent.

The drips on the side of the hospital bed fell little by little, and Clark, who was guarding the door, clenched his fists impatiently. After a long time, he heard Steve ask lightly:

"...is it renewed according to the previous contract?"

He agreed.

With a few words of understatement, he helped the Justice League abduct a crucial illustrator. Vera shook her head calmly, and said in a rare way:

"Since it is a long-term painter, the salary will naturally be different."

It's impossible for Captain America to rush to draft every day, take care of old friends and be poor enough to beg for food, right?

The opportunity was not to be missed, and Vera immediately called Clark in and asked him to run errands to the company to get a formal artist contract from Mary.

Watching Clark leave, Steve, who always felt that the dust had settled, was inexplicably relieved, and asked Vera in a relaxed tone:

"So, what do I need to draw next? Is it a Batman fanfic?"

"This is..."

Vera thought for a while, glanced at the serious and staid Steve, asked seriously with a serious face:

"Captain, have you seen the little X picture?"

……

……

Steve, deliriously: "…Sorry, what did you say?"
