EP023. Director's Office
The foam box is used as a container, and the partition is a pulp tray that comes with wholesale eggs.
The potion worth a total of one million US dollars was actually packaged so roughly... Because of Shi Xiaolei's casualness, Colson unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.
"It's all here, click a little?" Shi Xiaolei didn't think anything was wrong at all, but was quite proud of his "intelligent thinking".
Nodding, Colson focused and counted the amount of the potion.
After counting, I found out that Shi Xiaolei used a pulp tray to make a partition board, which is indeed a clever idea. The shape of the potion bottle is similar to the small glass bottles that are commonly used in hospitals. It was just a little fat and was a little bit strong when stuffed. It just happened to be stuck in the pulp tray's "slot". Because the tray is not made of plastic and will not automatically return to its original shape, so after the potion is stuck in, there is no need to worry about being pushed out. Each bottle of potion is stuck in a slot, and each bottle is stuck firmly. If it is replaced with a specially customized container, it is probably this level.
"The numbers are right." After the counting, Colson took out the check.
After taking it, he took a look and confirmed that the number was correct. Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but whistle. He looked at Colson again, and there was a little more enthusiasm on his face: "Happy cooperation, welcome to come again."
"Okay, I will." Colson nodded, covered the lid and picked up the foam box: "Stay in touch?"
"No problem." Without thinking so much, Shi Xiaolei grinned and gave a thumbs up.
He sent Colson and Mei away and returned to the courtyard.
After looking up, Shi Xiaolei realized that the sky was gradually getting darker.
Stark drank a few glasses of wine, put down his airs when he was slightly drunk, and chatted with Lao Liu very enthusiastically; the little girl Kangna was completely beautiful, her face was filled with a happy smile, and the silver bell-like laughter added a bit of childlike fun to the courtyard; Pepper was working as a teacher for 2B, and gave her tips on her dressing skills. Because of 2B's serious attitude, Pepper, who was rarely a teacher, was in the mood...
Although there were not many people, the atmosphere was very lively and harmonious.
Carrying two cans of beer, he came to Hapi who was serving his barbecue. Shi Xiaolei sat down with a smile: "Give me a break, let me take a break."
"Thank you." After taking the beer, he opened it and fed it for two bites. Hapi smiled and shook his head: "Don't, I just found the trick, let me bake two more."
"Okay, let's get me a handful."
"Give it." He grabbed the label from the plate and handed it to Shi Xiaolei. Hapi picked up the brush and oiled the skewers while asking for advice: "Is this how to brush it?"
"Don't need to be that much oil, dip it a little less. Yes, that's it, just a thin layer."
"It's almost done? Shouldn't it be time to sprinkle seasoning?"
"First sprinkle salt, then cumin and chili powder. Raise your hands a little higher and you can sprinkle evenly. Yes, sprinkle the seasonings and add a little oil to avoid burning."
"I have to use oil again? I said, no wonder those skewers just now were not good at all."
................
On the other side.
After receiving the potion delivered by Shi Xiaolei, Colson immediately contacted the companion in charge of receiving the support and came to the roof of a building not far from Shi Xiaolei's house.
There is no apron on the roof of the building, and the helicopter cannot land. However, for S.H.I.E.L.D., which has mastered many undisclosed technologies, it is not difficult. As Coulson and May appear, the Kun-style fighter hovering on the roof of the building has removed the stealth function and put down the cabin door behind it... It is as relaxed as if you are going up the stairs. In the blink of an eye, the two of them have entered the plane.
The visual stealth effect, coupled with the almost silent air hover function, is the biggest reason why SHIELD chose Kun-style fighter jets as a logistics support vehicle. As for agents, when operating, they are concerned about coming and going without a trace. From this perspective, Kun-style fighter jets have advantages that are far above various models of helicopters.
In addition, it is no less than the flight speed and combat capabilities of mainstream fighters, as well as better long-range endurance... The cost of the Kun-style fighter is far higher than that of the mainstream fighter currently in service in the Mid-style fighter.
To be honest, at Colson's current level, he basically has no chance to ride a Kun-style fighter jet when he is on missions.
This time, the reason why he was equipped with Kun-style fighter jets was not because his and Mei had reached the corresponding level, but because the potion given by Shi Xiaolei was very important and could not tolerate any omissions.
Knowing the director's importance to these potions, Colson immediately issued an order after boarding the plane and rushed to Washington, where SHIELD's headquarters is located as fast as possible.
The distance of more than 300 kilometers only took less than half an hour.
"Director."
"Enter."
May reached out and pushed open the door of the director's office. Colson followed behind with a foam box in his arms. The two entered the office and saw Nick Fury sitting behind the table.
"Director, you have bought the potion." A few steps forward, Colson placed the foam box containing the potion on his desk.
Just like Colson's previous reaction, Nick Fury did not expect that such an important agent would be "packaged" so casually and rough.
After sucking his nose, he seemed to smell a faint fishy smell. Nick Fury unconsciously stretched out his finger and touched the side of the foam box...
"That's it?"
"I was surprised too." Colson nodded with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that he would use a box containing seafood to hold potions."
"Go down and go again, remember to bring a few more sturdy boxes." Shaking his head speechlessly, Nick Fury raised his hand and opened the lid: "Okay, if you hadn't heard about his personality... the egg tray, our friend's choice is indeed quite weird."
While checking the potion in the box, Nick Fury asked about the details of the mission.
“……, after getting the potion, Mei and I left the party. Overall, everything went well.”
"Stark is here too?" Putting down the red potion in his hand, Nick Fury turned around, asking in his only left right eye.
"Yes. There is no special reason. It's because Locke got a batch of mutton of good quality and wanted to share it with him, so he took the initiative to ask for an invitation." When he said this, Colson paused for a moment and frowned slightly in annoyance: "It's just that because of Stark's appearance, our future plans may be affected."
"Um?"
"According to the original plan, I originally planned to get closer to Locke through face-to-face transactions again and again," Colson explained: "But at the party just now, Stark reminded Locke... If nothing unexpected happens, Locke will likely hand over the matter to the company for the next transaction and will not come forward in person."
"…." No one likes the complicated situation, and Nick Fury is no exception.
Fortunately, this change is not very tricky and it is easy to deal with. After thinking about it, Nick Fury nodded and said, "I understand." As he came to the desk, he bent down and pressed a button: "Let Barbara come to my office."
