Washington, D.C., top floor of the Trident Building.
Nick Fury stood in front of a white-haired old man in a suit and said gratefully: "Sir, thank you for helping me, otherwise I would have resigned and left."
The old man in a suit smiled lightly and said: "No, Nick, you are my chosen successor, and I will naturally stand by your side... But now it is better for you to just call me Pierce, after all, there are only two of us now."
"You have always been my respected commander." Nick Fury bowed slightly and said respectfully.
"Okay, whatever you want." Minister Pierce smiled and said indifferently:
"However, although I have retained your seat, the council decided to add a new committee to manage finances. This is inevitable."
Nick Fury nodded with a look of helplessness. He had done something wrong and he had to admit it. He had to stand up when he was beaten. He wanted to resist, but the leader of this committee was Pierce.
In the previous meeting, Pierce spoke for him and held his position. This was a big favor that he had to recognize.
But here's the problem, because of this reason, he will be overwhelmed by this committee in the days to come. This is why he is grateful to Pierce, but does not want to get too close to Pierce.
"The members of the committee are all people from the bureau, so you don't have to worry too much about us clamping down on you." Pierce said with a smile.
Nick Fury was stunned: "Sir, can I ask who is there?"
"Level 8 agents, Victoria Hand, John Gartler, level 7 agents, Sitwell Gaspar, and Phil Coulson." Pierce smiled:
"Our goal is to prevent you from misappropriating funds, but we have never thought of restricting you from using funds for correct purposes."
Hearing this, Nick Fury's face was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir."
"Um?"
"head!"
Pierce smiled slightly: "Just do what you should do, I will always support you."
"Okay, head!" Nick Fury said excitedly.
Pierce chuckled and watched him leave his office.
After a while, Sitwell suddenly walked out of the corner, frowned slightly and asked: "Sir, why don't you get rid of him, and also..., I don't quite understand your decision."
Pierce shook his head slightly, stood up and looked out the window: "We are parasitic on SHIELD. The stronger SHIELD is, the stronger we are."
"The so-called establishment of the committee is to regain the financial power of SHIELD. My purpose is to see how many back-ups this guy has buried."
"As for why I didn't remove him...compared to an unfamiliar opponent, I know Nick better."
Pierce said slowly, Sitwell frowned. He understood what Pierce was doing, but he was still worried.
Nick Fury is indeed a leader with excellent abilities, but he can also turn into an eagle that fights their Hydra.
After thinking about it, Sitwell shook his head. These were not things that a person with a monthly salary of tens of thousands of dollars could consider.
…
Compared with Nick Fury's aftermath, Cao Gui's life is really a happy one.
With tens of billions of dollars in their accounts, the four set up a company to help solve Osborne's crisis, and then set up a foundation to help avoid taxes and enlist the help of the vampire-like IRS.
The four of them established a board of directors, with Beth as the chairman and a senior migrant worker, commonly known as the president.
From then on, Cao Gui completely turned into an evil capitalist, earning millions a month while lying down.
Of course, even though he reached the pinnacle of his life, Cao Gui did not forget what the world he was in was like.
Under Cao Gui's suggestion, Beth began to acquire shares of Stark Group and Pym Technology. These two are Marvel's technology tycoons. It would be a waste not to get involved.
Of course, there is also the most important thing: Dr. Zhao Hailun’s Nanomaterials Laboratory.
Faced with this series of behaviors that were not in line with his own plans, the senior working-class president protested, believing that doing so was not in the interests of the company and asked the board of directors to reject Cao Guiqi's opinions.
But Cao Gui snorted, the chairman is my partner, and the shareholders are my partner... Ignore the little green devil, you want me to dismiss myself?
Who in this hall dares to sue me?
When the CEO saw this, he could only silently withdraw his form and act like a good baby.
After these things were over, the four Cao Gui people also returned to their peaceful student lives. Except for the increase in the number of deposits every month, the lives of the Cao Gui people did not change at all... Of course, Gwen got a big set for his home.
house.
However, George and Helen said they would not accept it for the time being. Now Gwen spends all day with Cao Gui and rarely goes home.
So the apartment that was originally a bit crowded is now much more spacious, so there is no need to change... Of course, it is still okay to go on a weekend vacation.
Hearing this, Gwen felt sad for a while, and it turned out that she was the extra in the family.
In order to take revenge on her parents who truly loved each other, Gwen, who had a bad temper, kept running home during this period. Not only did she go back by herself, but she often took Cao Gui back with her.
Helen welcomed this, but George... had a bad face as always.
Not only because Cao Gui gave away the little cabbage he had worked so hard to raise, but also because his two younger sons kept pestering Cao Gui to tell stories.
It's fine now. My wife and daughter disliked him getting in the way when cooking. The two younger sons gathered around the wild boar asking questions, leaving him alone.
It’s so hard to be a man, it’s so hard to be a human being…
"Cao, tell us the story of your treasure hunt again." The two younger brothers asked.
"Didn't I already fight with you?" Cao Gui said speechlessly. After the two people knew that he had found the treasure, their eyes lit up and they kept asking questions. George, who was not far away, was almost angry... pitiful
of George.
"No, no, it's not this." The little brother urged: "Sister said you have found three treasures in total. What are the other two like? Tell me quickly."
George's ears on the side twitched, and he was a little surprised that there were two of them. He moved forward involuntarily. Men were very interested in treasure hunting.
There was no way, Cao Gui could only tell the other two treasures one by one, but of course, Bullseye and Catherine were omitted.
After dinner, Gwen proposed to stay at home instead of going back to New Jersey. Helen happily invited Cao Gui to stay with her, but seeing George's expressionless face, Cao Gui decided not to embarrass him so much. After all, why should a man embarrass a man?
Well.
After chatting with Helen for a few words, Cao Gui said goodbye and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the apartment building, a voice stopped him.
Cao Gui took a closer look and saw that it was the old Green Goblin.
"Mr. Osborne?" Cao Gui was a little surprised that the old Green Goblin was standing alone on the roadside waiting for him.
"Hello, Cao." The old green devil said with a smile.
"Are you looking for me?" Cao Gui asked doubtfully.
"How about we walk and talk?" suggested the old Green Goblin.
"Okay." Cao Gui glanced around and didn't find his car.
The two of them walked side by side in the bustling streets of New York and looked at each other without saying a word. Cao Gui couldn't figure out the purpose of the old Green Goblin's visit and planned to test it first, but before he could speak, the Old Green Goblin spoke first.
"Cao, the purpose of my visit is to thank you. Harry told me everything. Without your help, the Osborne Group would no longer exist." Norman said sincerely.
Cao Gui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You're welcome Mr. Osborne, I wouldn't have been able to find the treasure without Harry's help. All of this is as it should be."
"This is a thank you gift, I hope you can accept it." Norman took out an ID and a large key.
Cao Gui took a closer look and saw that it was a real estate certificate... that's pretty much what it meant, but the information on the cover was about a high-end seaside villa in the Bahamas.
"Mr. Norman, you..." Cao Gui frowned.
"Cao, you have helped Harry too much, and it is difficult for him to provide you with reciprocity..." Norman said hesitantly, but what he said made Cao Gui speechless for a while.
The meaning of the old Green Goblin is very obvious: gain rice and win against rice.
A favor that is too great to be repaid is an undying hatred. The sworn brothers Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun are the best examples.
"Okay, then I accept it." Cao Gui agreed and took the thing from the old Green Goblin's hand.
Norman smiled and nodded. After he had finished speaking, the two chatted for a while, and a Rolls-Royce came to the old Green Goblin. The Osborn crisis was about to settle, and there were many unexpected situations. He couldn't stay for a long time.
leave.
Cao Gui waved his hand and watched the old Green Goblin leave, but at this moment, Cao Gui was suddenly startled and inadvertently saw several flashing green shadows in the rearview mirror of the retreating Rolls-Royce.
Cao Gui turned his head suddenly, but saw nothing:
