Plug-in Players In Marvel

At Christmas time, he replaced the original VIP service specialist and connected with Shi Xiaolei. Doing the math, Natasha has been wearing this 'skin' for nearly four months.

I thought that with my ability, I would be able to win Shi Xiaolei's favor quickly and gain useful information from him. But what makes Natasha very unwilling is that, except for the uncontrollable accident at Christmas, she has never had the opportunity to get close to Shi Xiaolei.

No, not only was there no chance to get close, there was even very little contact.

Thinking about it carefully, Shi Xiaolei has basically initiated all the contacts during this period. Shi Xiaolei has never taken the initiative to call him to make any business requests.

To be honest, if she hadn't asked the former VIP service specialist who was responsible for connecting with Shi Xiaolei and learned from her that Shi Xiaolei had this kind of behavior before, and that this kind of "long-term no commission" situation is normal, Natasha would definitely have I couldn't sit still.

"Okay, I understand." Putting away the small notebook for recording and stuffing it into the small leather bag she brought, Natasha stood up with a serious look and adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose: "Locke Sir, please rest assured, I will go back and contact the owner now to facilitate this matter as soon as possible."

"Sorry to trouble you." The business is over, and there is no need to remain serious. In order not to expose any flaws, Shi Xiaolei stretched out his hand and pretended to be casual, and praised Natasha: "The glasses are good, they suit you very well."

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

Shi Xiaolei thought that he had remembered that he didn't wear glasses when they last met, and he had doubts in his heart. Natasha raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and gave an explanation without asking any questions: "Wearing plain glasses can hide it a little bit, it will save you money." I usually have colleagues coming over to strike up a conversation. If you’re not used to it, I won’t wear it next time.”

"It's okay, it's okay. You can do whatever you want. I'm just talking casually."

While talking, he sent Natasha out of the store and agreed on a time for the next contact. Shi Xiaolei took the initiative to open the car door for Natasha: "Be careful on the road. Remember to inform me if there is any news."

"Okay, Mr. Locke, I'm leaving then."

"Well, see you later."

Release the handbrake, gently step on the accelerator, and the car slowly merges into the traffic flow.

Watching Shi Xiaolei turn around and walk into the store in the rearview mirror, Natasha looked away, took out a Bluetooth headset from under the dashboard, and hung it on her right ear.

After a slight click, the operator's voice came from the earphones.

"I'm Natasha, pick up the director."

After a moment, the line was connected, and Nick Fury's voice rang: "Natasha? What do you want from me?"

"Director, I just met with Locke, and he assigned me a task." Natasha reported while gently turning the steering wheel and turning the car into the right fork.

"What mission?"

"Buy the property rights of the several floors below his house, including the store on the first floor and the underground parking lot below."

There was a brief silence. It was obvious that Nick Fury was thinking about why Shi Xiaolei made such a request.

"When I accepted this commission, I asked a few questions." Natasha continued to report: "Although he did not give a positive answer, judging from his expression, I think he was thinking about the future. prepare for."

"you mean……"

"Yes." Natasha nodded: "If my guess is correct, it is very likely that a new 'companion' will appear by his side at some time in the future."

"Not because of those girls?" Nick Fury confirmed.

"Probably not." Natasha said: "Before sending people to his place, Locke has already obtained all the documents for the girls. If he just wants to prepare a place for them, there is no need for Locke to hide it from me."

"Well~, I trust your judgment." After thinking about it, Nick Fury gave the instruction: "Take advantage of this opportunity to try to get closer to him. If you need anything, please contact Coulson at any time. Contact him and ask him to cooperate with you."

"clear."

"Pay attention to the rhythm. Locke is of Chinese descent and has a relatively reserved personality."

"I know."

What does it mean to pay attention to the rhythm? What does the so-called rhythm mean?

To put it simply, it is the efficiency difference between 'letting the bank take action' and 'letting SHIELD take action'.

If you just go through the bank route, then this matter will be a little difficult to handle. After all, banks cannot force the residents on the floors below to move out. The only tricks they can use are to 'raise the purchase price', 'help find other places to live and reduce moving expenses', and 'tighten loans to put pressure' .

Let’s not talk about whether these tricks can be used. Even if they can, it will take a certain amount of time.

If SHIELD takes action, the effect will be completely different.

If children are your top priority, you can send an admission notice. For the sake of their children, adults may take the initiative to think of "moving their home closer to the school";

If work is the most important thing, you can issue a job transfer by influencing the other party's employer;

Even if you encounter a ruthless and stubborn household, you can still cause an accident that is not life-threatening and send the householder to an expensive hospital. At worst, after the householder mortgages the house, you can find an opportunity to arrange a lottery win. The drama, including the medical expenses and the money to buy a house, will be compensated to him in one lump sum...

Compared to banks, SHIELD has many more methods to take action and the efficiency will be much faster.

Nick Fury's phrase "pay attention to the rhythm" contains a total of two meanings. One of them refers to not following SHIELD's routine to handle this matter, but to slow down and follow the bank's rules. Process at normal speed.

As for the other layer... everyone knows it, so I won’t go into details here.

............

While the widowed sister was busy handling the real estate purchase task entrusted by Shi Xiaolei, thousands of miles away in the sky above Alaska, her colleague and friend Clinton Francis Patton was flying a Quinjet fighter jet and was quickly rushing to somewhere.

"Weasel, weasel~! Hold on, I still have five minutes to get to the battlefield~!"

"The enemy's firepower is too strong~! I can't hold on for that long~!"

In the communicator, not only the response from the friendly forces came, but also the deafening sound of explosions. Although he couldn't see the scene, from the movement, Hawkeye could already feel the intensity of the war and the critical situation of the friendly forces.

I really want to speed up a little more, but I have no choice but to push the accelerator to the bottom.

Feeling very anxious but helpless, Barton unconsciously raised his hand and hammered the seat hard.

"Damn~! Hurry up, hurry up~!" Amid Patton's urging, the Quinjet roared across the sky, split the clouds in half, and disappeared at the end of the horizon.

A few minutes later, Barton finally saw several plumes of thick smoke rising, as well as the burning car wreckage on the ground.
