After Nick Fury got the news about the Hydra base, he sent Natasha to the base to investigate the situation from a distance.
After confirming that the news was true, Fury contacted his former friends in the army.
Of course, he would not confess the information about Leo foolishly, but said that his agents happened to discover the Hydra base, and there was an extreme shortage of manpower within SHIELD recently, so he came to ask for help.
Of course, no one refused the fat meat that was delivered to their mouths. In this way, Fury and the US military hit it off and launched an operation to clear up the Hydra base.
Not long after the operation started, the two Hydra bases whose locations were exposed by Leo were quietly surrounded.
"Sir, all units are in position, please give us instructions."
"action!"
Although the two bases have armed forces, how can they compare with the regular U.S. army? Within a few moments, the two bases were captured, leaving only the ruins after the battle.
…
Hell's Kitchen, in front of the El Building, 9 a.m.
Leo, Bucky, Old Tom, Matt, and Fudge were standing in front of the company, performing a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the company.
Among them, Matt, Fudge and Bucky were forced in by Leo to support the scene, while Old Tom forced himself in.
There were no reporters or anyone taking photos at the scene. There were only thirty-two Black Fist Gang members lined up in two rows, standing upright, acting as witnesses.
Leo stood in the middle, Fujimat stood on one side, Bucky and Old Tom stood on the other side. Leo picked up the scissors and was about to cut the red cloth rope with the red flower in front of him.
[The mission "Immortal Hydra" mission completion rate increased by 3%, and the current total mission completion rate is 3%. 】
Suddenly, a system prompt flashed in front of Leo's eyes. Leo paused and then returned to normal.
This was the first time Matt met Bucky without disguise, and he was extremely nervous, for fear of being recognized by Bucky. Moreover, his senses were the sharpest, and no one else noticed anything unusual about Leo, only him.
Matt was worried that Leo would go back on his word and tell Bucky that he was the Night Stalker, and asked nervously:
"Mr. Erwin, what's wrong?"
Leo didn't expect Matt to be so sharp, so he could only say:
"It's nothing, I suddenly thought of the glorious future of the company, and I'm just a little emotional. I'll cut the ribbon now, let's have fun together!"
The big scissors cut the red cloth strip with a click, and the thirty-two witnesses applauded enthusiastically at the same time.
At the end of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the thirty-two witnesses instantly transformed into free security guards and returned to their posts one by one. Bucky and Old Tom also left one after another and went about their own affairs.
Leo stopped Matt and Fudge who were about to leave and took them into the conference room in the lobby on the first floor.
In the conference room, Matt was very worried, and Fudge was very confused, wondering why Leo left the two of them behind.
The company has just been established, and Leo is now in short supply of talents. Of course, leaving the two behind at this time is to discuss employment matters!
But Leo also knew that Matt had a stubborn temper and had too strong a self-esteem. So instead of communicating with Matt, he approached Fudge.
"Mr. Nelson, you have also seen that our company has just opened, and whether we are purchasing equipment or hiring personnel, we need to sign a contract.
Although there are ready-made contract templates that can be applied, I prefer that El Technology Company has a professional legal department that can provide help.
Therefore, I would like to hire you and Mr. Murdoch as legal counsel for Air Technology Corporation, and hope that you can help me form a legal department."
Sure enough, after hearing Leo making such a request, before Fudge could speak, Matt shouted:
"Mr. Erwin, the two of us still have our own law firm to run. The store has just opened, so we really can't get away from it."
But Leo ignored Matt, and then said to Fudge:
"You can come and work half a day every morning or afternoon, and I can give each of you an annual salary of $50,000."
Fudge's eyes lit up. If Leo said it, Murdoch Nielsen Law Firm would not only be able to stay open, but he and Matt would also be able to earn an extra salary that was much higher than most full-time employees.
Fudge ignored Matt poking his guide stick, happily stretched out his hands to hold Leo's right hand and said:
"Mr. Erwin, we have taken this job. On behalf of Matt, I would like to express that the two of us are very happy to join Erwin Technology Company."
"Then you can come to work starting tomorrow. You first need to customize the company's rules and regulations. I believe this will be a piece of cake for you."
Leo took out another thick envelope from his pocket, handed it to Fudge and said,
"This is the commission from when I asked you to help with the title deed of the El Building. It's not much, so you and Murdoch can just accept it."
This time, Matt didn't poke Fudge with the guide cane. Instead, he looked cold and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Fudge didn't notice Matt's expression, but as soon as he saw the envelope handed over by Leo, he quickly waved his hand and said:
"Mr. Erwin, Matt and I can't have this. You've already paid us enough commission, and we're settled in business."
Only then did Matt smile. He poked Fudge with his guide cane, signaling for him to follow him back.
Leo grabbed Fudge, who turned around to leave, and said with a smile:
"Since you don't want it, I won't force it. However, I would like to ask you two for a favor.
As you have also seen, El Technology Company has just been established, and it is when it needs manual work. Some simple repetitive tasks can be undertaken by local laborers in Hell's Kitchen.
However, what El Company lacks even more is professional technical talents.
These two students are about to graduate from Columbia University, so I want them to come forward and go to Columbia University to help me recruit a group of talents.
I wonder if you two have time?"
The words "local labor" moved Matt, and he answered first this time:
"Since Fudge and I have joined El Company, we should naturally contribute to the company. Now that the company does not have a recruitment team, it is appropriate for the two of us to temporarily serve as HR.
Don't worry, Mr. Erwin, Fudge and I will do our best to help the company select outstanding talents."
Leo handed the envelope to Matt this time and said:
"In this case, this money will be used as your project funds. You two go buy suitable clothes and some items for the job fair to make our company look good.
In addition, you can ask Old Tom for some security guards to assist you in your work."
This time Matt didn't shirk, he reached out and took the envelope, and threw it to Fudge for him to keep.
Leo continued:
"Time waits for no one. When you go back today, make a recruitment plan first, and then bring it to me tomorrow and show it to me. We will discuss the details again. The sooner the recruitment work can be carried out, the better."
Matt agreed, then he and Fudge stood up, said goodbye and left.
Leo watched the two of them get into the car with a smile on his face.
[The mission "Immortal Hydra" mission completion rate increased by 3%, and the current total mission completion rate is 6%. 】
Suddenly, the system prompt was refreshed again. Leo had experienced it once. This time he read the message without changing his face and closed the panel.
The mission completion level increased twice in succession. It should be that both Hydra bases have been destroyed by Nick Fury.
However, the destruction of two bases actually increased the mission completion rate by 6%. Calculated in this way, when all 23 bases in the United States are destroyed, the mission completion rate can actually reach 69%.
However, there are nearly two hundred Hydra bases around the world. Could it be said that bases in other countries are not important at all compared to the United States?!
Moreover, those undercover agents in SHIELD should account for the majority of mission completion!
Leo suddenly couldn't understand the [Immortal Hydra] mission. Is there any mystery behind this mission?
