And now, she found that everyone in this newspaper office seemed to know that their boss had supernatural powers, but no one seemed to think it was unusual.
Since the boss can be accepted, it means she can too.
And this is the first time she has met someone like herself in so many years. (at least she thought so)
Jessica felt that after so many units, she seemed to have finally found where she should belong.
"Don't be lazy." Richard brought her back to reality with one sentence, "Hurry up and go back to work."
"Yes, I understand."
As Jessica said, she turned and walked towards her desk, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth involuntarily.
Chapter 18 Must be there
"Boss, you're right." Reporter Hodge Lavis stood in front of Richard's desk and said mysteriously, "That Rose really has a problem."
This is not nonsense, of course I am right, you still need to say this?Richard sat cross-legged in his chair and motioned for him to continue.
"I have specifically checked a lot of things about General Thaddeus Ross these days, and I feel that I found out a lot." Hodge suppressed his excitement and said, "I remember what I mentioned to you before, the area under the jurisdiction of General Ross How many laboratories? Every year, the military allocates huge sums of money to his laboratory, but his research projects have not been disclosed to the public. But after the monster runaway incident in New York, all his laboratories were announced to be closed."
"You think there's a connection here?"
"There must be a connection, boss!" Hodge said excitedly, "I also checked. A few years ago, Dr. Bruce Banner, a domestic authority on physics, was recruited to General Ross's laboratory, but after that he No more. But guess what I've found now? State University of New York witnesses say they saw Banner in New York just a few days before that monster went off! Himself!"
"Oh." Compared to Hodge's excitement, Richard seemed completely calm.
Seeing that all these failed to impress the boss, Hodge was not discouraged, and continued: "This is not over, boss, I have dug up even more exciting news. I also found a few witnesses who told me about the New York incident. A week ago, a similar incident actually happened once at State University.They said there was a green Bigfoot and a bunch of crazy people who put armored vehicles and cannons on campus.
At that time, the army tried to catch the bigfoot, but failed.I think there is a [-]% chance that that team is General Ross's.That Bigfoot must have been the same thing as the monster in New York, something that old Ross had tossed about. "
He waited expectantly for his boss's reaction after speaking, but he was disappointed once again.
What he said—literally—Richard had known in a previous life.Isn't this the plot of the movie "Invincible Hulk 2"?How could he, a traverser, not know?
But what about the evidence?
He didn't send these reporters down to investigate these rumors that he had already heard. What he needed was evidence that could be published in the newspapers.
Hodge took a deep breath: "Think about it, boss, who knows how many of these guys in the army still have such things? What did they spend all their money on? Shouldn't the masses know the truth? "
"Well, what you said makes sense." Richard nodded, "So, about the story of 'High School Bigfoot vs. the Army', do you have video materials?"
"No."
"photo?"
"No."
"The informant's name?"
"Can't tell."
Richard spread his hands: "Then what do you expect me to publish in the newspaper? Readers need facts, not conjectures. You are no rookie, Hodge, I thought you should understand."
"Of course, I know the boss." Hodge was a little embarrassed, "But this Ross is really not ordinary. This old man is very cunning, and he can't catch any loopholes at all."
"Stop beating around the bush, just talk about it." Richard interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "If you really can't do anything, then you should be trying to find a way outside now instead of coming to the office to complain to me. Tell me, you plan, and what else do you want?"
"Well, that's right, boss. I made a few calls and managed to get in touch with some people in the military through some connections. Someone promised to put me in a line, and I could go and meet some important people, but with the ideas of General Ross. Misfits. With any luck, someone might be willing to reveal something."
"You mean military secrets." Richard pointed it out directly.
"Isn't that my job, sir?" said Hodge.
Richard nodded slightly.
Whatever that old Ross' so-called "military secret" was, it certainly wouldn't be a good thing anyway.As far as Richard knows the role of Rose, that guy may not be good at defending his home and country, but he is definitely first-class in stabbing people.If Ross has been left alone like this, maybe one day he will fiddle with red giants, yellow giants, blue giants, blue giants and so on in the laboratory, and he will be able to form a giant team after a while.
If he could be dismissed by a sentence of military secrets, then Hodge would not be a reporter for Planet Daily.
"I've got to go to Washington for a few days, sir," Hodge finally said bluntly.
So having said so much, in fact, this is his real purpose - reimbursement of air tickets.
Richard crossed his legs: "Economy class."
"Give me a business class, boss?"
Richard said nothing, just looked at him with a sneer.
"Okay, boss, economy class."
After dismissing Hodge, Miss Secretary Stephanie came to the boss's office.She put the black tea that Richard asked for on the table and reminded, "You have a dinner invitation tonight, sir."
"Oh? With whom?" Richard drank his lipstick tea.
This is nothing unusual. When a person's fame and social energy accumulate to such an extent, he will naturally have to deal with various social interactions.
"And Mr. Wilson Fisk," Stephanie said.
Richard couldn't help but froze.
Wilson Fisk?Which Fisk?A crime lord in New York City?
Others may not know the inside story, but as the time traveler Richard knows it all.Wilson Fisk is a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist on the surface, but his real identity is one of the largest criminal tycoons in New York at the present stage, known as "Jinbin".According to the original storyline, the future Fisk may even sweep away all his competitors and become the true sole ruler of the New York underworld.
Of course, only a few people who know the real identity behind the code name "Jin Bin" are only a few people whom Fisk himself trusts. Unbeatable successful people.
