As night falls, the skyscrapers of Manhattan gradually light up, and the spectacular night view of Manhattan, a classic scene, appears in front of people.
Directly opposite, the roof of the Empire State Building is outlined with red lights to outline the round tower at the top, which stands out among the brilliant lights.
Amidst the brilliant lights and twinkling stars in the sky, the night view of Manhattan is not only spectacular, but also very charming.
Under the orange light surrounding the charming atmosphere, Murphy and Heather sat opposite each other.
On the dining table, there are French squab tarts, pan-fried foie gras with blueberry sauce, rose salmon with caviar, black truffle cappuccino cream of mushroom soup, grilled Australian top bone-in ribeye steak and other foods.
"Murphy, don't you have anything to say to me?" Heather looked calmly and elegantly as she watched Murphy eat his stuff across from him.
Well, if someone is treating you, can Mo Fei be polite?
Of course, you can eat as much as you can.
As a department head, Heather's salary is not low, and as a department like this, some gray income is even much higher than the salary.
That kind of gray income belongs to you and you can’t do it if you don’t take it. If you don’t take it, you’re not one of our own.
Therefore, Heather's life can be described as quite exquisite.
In particular, Heather majored in computer science at Stanford University, and her technical skills are quite strong. Otherwise, where would she be in charge of the science and technology department?
If you have strong technical skills, you can definitely make a lot of money in your pocket by just programming something.
It's just that Heather is not very interested in money, she is most interested in power.
"Speaking? To you?" Murphy raised his head, thought for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said, "No!"
Then he buried his head and continued to feast.
Since being detained at noon, and being detained by them for several hours without being given anything to eat, Murphy was already hungry.
So when Heather asked him to have dinner after get off work, Murphy agreed without any hesitation.
Heather's chest rose and fell slightly, and she clenched the knife and fork in her hands tightly. If this man hadn't saved his life, she would have stabbed him a few times!
Thinking about her, Heather is a famous iceberg goddess. Those subordinates almost never see her mood swings, but it is this scoundrel who almost loses her composure many times.
"For example, didn't you always inherit the family business and be your doctor with peace of mind?" Heather tried hard to suppress her almost uncontrollable emotions, and said in a calm tone: "How could you work with a spy agency like S.H.I.E.L.D.
Get in touch?"
As for the bullshit that Murphy said earlier that SHIELD cried and begged him to join SHIELD because he was good-looking, it was obviously made up by Murphy, and Heather didn't believe a single punctuation mark.
"Yeah." After hearing Heather's question, Murphy stopped wolfing down his food, temporarily put down his knife and fork, and pondered for a while, how can he make up a story that makes sense logically and can confuse things at the same time?
Heather is a woman with a strong logical mind and is not easy to deceive.
"Let me ask you, have you acquired any special abilities?" Seeing Mo Fei's hesitant expression, Heather elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, put her hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Ink is not.,
"Uh, why do you ask that?" Murphy looked at Heather in surprise.
Isn't this woman too smart?
Not long after they met, and he hadn't said anything yet, this woman could infer from just a few clues that he, Murphy, had become the most handsome kid in New York?
This is almost too smart!
"I have carefully studied SHIELD's operating style." Heather picked up the goblet at hand, took a sip of the fragrant red wine in it, and said: "Their requirements for agent recruitment are particularly strict, even surpassing those of b and agents.
standards! There is almost a joke among our senior management that agents B and B are the ones left over from S.H.I.E.L.D.’s recruitment, and it’s our turn to recruit them. At least we have been getting along for a long time, and you, Murphy
I believe there are not many people who know better than me what kind of person he is. Based on SHIELD’s recruitment standards, the person I know does not have the qualifications at all.”
"Wow, it hurts my heart when you say this." Murphy's face suddenly fell.
Are you that bad?
Heather ignored Murphy's pretentious look and continued to talk to herself: "They want to recruit you into S.H.I.E.L.D. for no reason. It must not be because of your terrible medical skills. There must be something worthy of their attention.
Special. As for the powers and responsibilities of SHIELD, in the eyes of truly powerful people, it is not difficult to know that they are committed to dealing with matters in the extraordinary world, such as Spider-Man in New York. Therefore, I racked my brains to think
, and only thought of one possibility, that is, you acquired some extraordinary abilities, and in the end, SHIELD followed its usual practice of arresting, monitoring, and integrating the extraordinary person, etc."
"Murphy!!!" Heather looked into Murphy's eyes and said seriously: "Tell me, is my guess correct?"
"Why are you going to study SHIELD when you have nothing to do?" Murphy asked.
"" Heather frowned, leaned back on the seat, looked at Murphy for a long time, and said: "When I chose the direction of employment, I carefully compared SHIELD and B-Triple, and I chose the one that is most suitable for me.
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to be a black man with a bald head. He has been sitting in the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades. He has extraordinary technology inside that seems to be able to extend his life. He has no plans to retire at all, and the organization structure is too strict.
, the influence in my family cannot penetrate, and it will not help my promotion. If I joined SHIELD at that time, I would not see a future at all. After weighing the pros and cons, I finally joined!"
"Uh." Murphy glanced at Heather with a strange look, thought for a moment, and said, "You're not going to tell me that you joined just for the position of director, right?"
Heather also specifically investigated Lu Dan’s information and found out that he had served as the Director of SHIELD for decades. According to her opinion, if it weren’t for Lu Dan occupying the position of Director of SHIELD and not letting him go, maybe she would
I joined S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Why not?" Heather raised her neck in an elegant manner, showing a proud look, and said: "Director, people have to be the director anyway, if others can be, why can't I be?
"
Murphy felt that what she said made sense, but he was a little speechless.
"Heather, don't you think your power is too heavy?" Murphy shook his head slightly and said, "You are a girl, why do you need so much power? Why don't you spend your energy on things that make you happy?
Okay? You don’t know how many swords and swords you have to go through to become the director. Even if you are lucky enough to get that position in the end, you don’t know how many conspiracies you will face in the future.”
"Murphy, then why did you choose to be a doctor?" Heather chuckled and asked.
This was the reunion, and it was the first time Murphy saw Heather smile again.
Heather is not a person who loves to smile much. Even when they were passionately in love, Heather didn't smile too much.
"I became a doctor because my parents are doctors and my family is well-educated. It is easier to make a living by doing this." Mo Fei coughed lightly and said: "Besides, I still have some genes engraved in my bones. It's a little bit easier to study medicine."
A bit of talent.”
"The reason why I pursue power is actually the same as the reason why you become a doctor!" Heather drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, her pretty face could not help but turn red, but her eyes were clear, and she said: "You know
Robert E. Lee, the famous general born during the Civil War?”
"Robert Lee?" Murphy felt a little familiar with this person and had some impressions, but it only took a moment for Murphy to remember who the person Heather was talking about was.
This means that he is a Chinese and is not sensitive to this name. The average Yingjiang person will definitely be able to immediately think of all his past when he hears this name.
Robert E. Lee's popularity among Yingjiang should be similar to that of Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period in the hearts of Chinese people. He was almost a perfect man.
When talking about Robert E. Lee, we have to mention the unforgettable Civil War between the Eagles.
Why is it so unforgettable? Because during the Civil War, the number of Yingjiang people who died was 620,000! What is the concept of 620,000 people? This number is the total death toll of Yingjiang people in all wars since the Civil War. Among them
Including the First World War, the Second World War, the BN War, the Vietnam War and a series of major wars.
Robert E. Lee stood out during the Civil War.
On January 19, 107, a true hero was born to a military family in Westmoreland County, Virginia, without any artistic processing.
Robert Lee came from an extraordinary family. His grandfather participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence. His father was Henry Lee, a hero in the Revolutionary War. His mother was the daughter of the richest family in Virginia.
First, he graduated from West Point Military Academy with the second best score in the graduating class, then married the great-granddaughter of Washington, the "Father of the Founding" of the United States, and then found his way into the military like a fish in water.
In the 146-year-old Mexican-American War, many of the U.S. military's surprisingly successful battles were all due to Robert Lee's reconnaissance and planning. By the time the war was over, more than half of Mexico's territory had been taken away by Eagle Sauce, and Robert Lee was also listed as the number one hero. Feng Guangrong
He was promoted to major, and even Scott, the commander-in-chief of the Mexican-American War, believed that Robert E. Lee, with his amazing military talent, was the future military commander of Eagle.
Since then, Robert E. Lee's reputation has been rising, and his career has been prosperous. At the age of 45, he became the principal of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
The turning point in his life was the Civil War. On the eve of the Civil War, President Lincoln strongly invited Robert Lee to be the commander-in-chief of the federal army. However, after thinking hard all night, Robert Lee left Washington and came to the rebel "capital"
Richmond, joined the Confederate rebel camp because his home state of Virginia supported the Confederate Army.
Compared with his experience in beating Mexico, the "villain" Robert E. Lee in the Civil War has reached the peak level of military use. Almost every battle he fought can be regarded as a model of defeating more with less in the history of modern wars. Not only was he beaten by Eagle Sauce
It is highly praised by people and has been included in textbooks all over the world. Every detail in it is full of profound military art. It even almost marched to Washington and captured Lincoln in one fell swoop. However, its peak battlefield performance was finally unable to stop the trend of history.
The population ratio between north and south is 6139, the railway mileage is 6634, the farms are 6733, and the wealth created is 7525 factories, 119. The Federation can produce almost all war materials, while the Confederacy relies entirely on imports. In terms of comprehensive national strength, the North beats the South more than ten times.
After his first defeat on the frontal battlefield, he rejected his subordinates' proposal to break out and fight guerrillas. At the risk of being hanged, he surrendered with the entire army and completely ended the war. The surrender negotiations were very simple, requiring good treatment of southern soldiers.
His actions brought an end to the war quickly, and the social order quickly returned to normal, with almost no war trauma. In people's minds, he was still a hero with high moral standards, even though he was a defeated general.
Otherwise, if the south resists hard, the north may not have the strength to unify the north and the south.
After the war, Robert E. Lee devoted his career to teaching and educating people. He served as the president of Washington College in Eagle Sauce for a long time. Until now, the University of Washington, whose full name is Washington Lee University, is to commemorate Robert E. Lee.
"It's just as you think. Robert E. Lee is my ancestor, and I can be considered to be from a political family." Heather said: "So I pursue power, just like you learn medical skills. It is the gene engraved in our bones! For
The pursuit of power is what I am most interested in. Even for me, acquiring power is no longer just my business. The family has invested too many resources in me, and I also shoulder the family's mission.
, there is a reason why we absolutely cannot fail!”
Listening to Heather's story, Murphy remembered one thing. It seemed that Robert E. Lee's hometown was in Virginia, and his headquarters was in Langley, Virginia. It seemed that Heather's political career was planned step by step.
No wonder Heather is now less than 30 years old and has already taken the position of department head. She also has many problems!
"You once asked me if it's worth the exhaustion on the road to chasing power. How can I still feel tired when I devote myself to the things that interest me most?"
Murphy picked up the goblet, took a sip of the red wine in it, and sighed slightly. He was not from a family like Heather and could not understand her. His values told him that he could eat, drink and have fun in this life and be a happy rice bug.
The happiest thing.
But for Heather, the greatest happiness in this life is to realize her own value and gain more power. For her, eating, drinking and having fun are just spices in life and cannot become mainstream.
No wonder the two parties broke up in the first place. A couple with different views will definitely get divorced even if they are forced to get together.
"I shared my secret with you." Heather stared at Murphy, with a faint smile on her lips, and said, "Can you share your secret with me now?" 11
