"Yes sir, I was tied to the experimental table with Mr. Bucky at that time, and was injected with some strange unknown drugs. Although there was nothing serious after inspection by the military laboratory afterwards, I believe that if
If the captain had not arrived in time, we would have been dead, because when we were captured before, we had never seen anyone walk out of those laboratories alive... Sir, is there something wrong with this?" Seeing Qiao Xi curiously
, Vito did not hesitate and directly told the situation at that time. After speaking, he saw Josie's thoughtful expression and felt a little strange.
"Ah, there's no problem. I just didn't expect that your experience would be so exciting. If it were written as an autobiography, it would be a big hit. Speaking of which, if you just retire halfway, you might lose a legend in this world."
After coming back to his senses, Qiao Xi said casually, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
Were you injected with the potion together with Bucky? Couldn’t that be the Winter Soldier potion?
Of course, like Bucky, Vito is probably still a semi-finished product.
But who says semi-finished products are useless?
"Maybe, but I think it is the greatest happiness to be able to come back safely and reunite with my family!" Vito raised the document in his hand and said with a smile.
"Yes, family is everything!" Josie nodded, and then suddenly asked, "Vito, now that you are back, what are your plans for the future?"
"Maybe be like my father and become a dock worker? At least that's what my mother hopes!" Vito said helplessly. There was no way. The old man's idea was to be safe and stable, but for someone who was just 20 years old and full of blood,
For the prosperous Vito, that was obviously not what he expected.
"Oh, oh, a fighting hero, going to the pier to carry boxes? Sorry, I don't mean to be disrespectful to your mother, but this is indeed beyond my expectation... But judging from the current situation, you obviously haven't done it yet.
Decide, are you interested in doing things for me?" Josie was a little shocked when she heard Vito's words.
The dockworkers of this era are not the technical jobs of the future.
Although the future dock workers will also have a hard job, most of the income is still good.
But the dock workers of this era are just pure coolies.
And they are often exploited by foremen. It can be said to be the lowest job in this era. Basically, only black people and some recent immigrants can do it.
It is indeed too unconventional for a strong and handsome young man like Vito in front of him to work as a dock coolie.
"Work for you? Can I?" Vito was very surprised when he heard Josie's invitation.
Unlike when he first came back and didn't know the specific situation, now he has a preliminary understanding of Qiao Xi. It's true that he is a big boss. Although he doesn't know how the salary will be, it is definitely a hundred times better than working as a dock porter, and
My sister is also working for the other party, and my stubborn old mother will definitely not object.
"Sure, why not?" Josie shrugged.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Kahn!" Vito agreed without hesitation.
"Since we are one of our own, there is something I won't hide from you." Qiao Xi waved his hand to say you were welcome, and then said.
"You should have seen Brooke, right?" Josie asked.
"Yes, sir!" Vito nodded.
"Last year, your sister took out a loan shark in order to bury your father. I helped her pay for it and Brooke went to handle it. I'm not telling you this to repay a favor, nor am I asking you to pay back the money.
, but because when Brooke was handling this matter, he also found out some other news, that is, your father's death may not have been an accident!" Josie said.
"What? Is this true?" Upon hearing Josie's words, Vito's expression changed drastically.
He always thought that his alcoholic father, as his sister said in the letter, drank too much and fell into the water and drowned. He had no doubt about this... because judging from his father's alcoholic character,
Look, this kind of thing can indeed happen.
But if, as Josie said, this was not an accident, then it would be another matter.
It's true that Vito didn't like his drunkard father, but that was his father after all! And at least his father left him some good memories during his childhood.
"Whether it is true or not, you have to investigate for yourself. After all, I was just a bystander in this matter before. If it hadn't been for my wife Margot's request, I might not have paid the money, and naturally it would have been impossible.
Go pursue this matter, but now that you are back and doing things for me, I will tell you... Go to Brooke, he will tell you the specific situation! Don't be too anxious about work, just leave this matter alone...
It's not too late to talk after we've dealt with it." Qiao Xi said slowly.
After listening to Josie's words, Vito immediately understood the meaning of what he told him.
It's a favor, it's also a petition.
"I understand, thank you, Mr. Kahn!" Vito nodded and exited Josie's study.
After seeing Vito leave, Josie was silent for a moment, got up and walked to the door, locked the study door, then opened the transaction device and connected Yuri.
"What's the matter? Josie!" Soon, Yuri's alter ego appeared.
The background is still a cave, but although it has only been a week, the scene in this cave has been very different from before. It has turned into a large laboratory, in which some controlled chickens are constantly working.
Busy.
Yuri, who was originally like a wild man, also tidied up and put on a decent white coat, regaining some of the heroic colors that almost defeated the whole world.
"It's good news. A semi-finished replica of a super soldier has been delivered to my door. So I'm asking if you are interested in studying whether the equipment you have now is enough!" Qiao Xi glanced at the equipment behind Yuri and asked.
road.
The equipment in these laboratories was all ready-made that he bought from the University of Chicago at a high price, because many of the equipment had to be customized and could not be purchased so quickly.
That is to say, Josie's bid was high enough, and the University of Chicago considered it necessary to upgrade the equipment before they were willing to sell it.
Of course, Qiao Xi will definitely not lose money, because it is actually Yuri who pays... Iridium metal is not easy to sell in this era, but platinum is very easy to sell, and iridium, as a companion metal of platinum, especially
Since a large amount of iridium ore can be found here, how can there be a shortage of platinum?
"Of course I'm interested, but to study this, we do need some equipment." Yuri said with a slight glint in his eyes.
