I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

Chapter 22 Violence is the last resort of the powerless (2)

The time is pulled back to a few minutes ago.

As the just-promoted NYPD superintendent, Clark knew that the small bureau under him was a mess of fish and dragons, but he didn't expect that the crouching dragons and phoenixes under him would be so stupid when they took money from people and extinguished disasters for others-they didn't look at themselves. Who is the plague?

Just now Mr. Terrence Monaghan, Chief Superintendent of NYPD, personally hung up the phone for himself—Mr. Chief Superintendent was not very angry on the phone, but what he said shocked Clark:
"NYPD should be strictly neutral in the face of high-level political struggles, and not stupidly leave people with excuses!"

Hearing the words of Chief Superintendent, Clark looked at Enesis Wilson, who was called over by him just now, and who was quite happy for beating up those self-righteous Asians. His eyes were calm and compassionate, as if in Look at a dead person.

After putting down the phone, Wilson, who was being stared at by the Chief Superintendent, asked weakly, "Boss, what did the higher-ups say?"

"The higher-ups are considering whether to give you a chance to change jobs." Clark sighed, knowing that his subordinate had become a dead man in futures, "Wilson, I will use you as an example to warn all my colleagues not to meddle easily. And into the politics of these big corporations, the Department of Defense, and the intelligence community."

Wilson stood there in a daze like a thunderclap—he, who used to bully minorities in the past, never imagined that this time he collected some money to help teach a cowardly Asian in the past, how could he make a fuss? Such a big mess.

Clark no longer looked at him, the chief put on his hat, and trotted all the way to the police station's detention room.

At the same time, Gwen Stacy, who is walking up and down the alley with her mobile phone, is still hesitating—she is one of the few Spider-Mans in the multiverse who does not have such a good relationship with the police. Therefore, it is easier for her to believe that Raymond was framed by others.But that doesn't mean she should break into the cell of the police station to save someone... What's more, even if Raymond is rescued, it will be a lot of trouble.

The upset girl tried to call her best friend again - only to find that there was already a text message from her best friend in the phone:
"Pepper Potts rescued your mentor, and now the media in New York City is rushing over!"

So, when Gwen rushed to the gate of the police station, she found that, as a Western reporter who was "running so fast", Betty Brant had already arrived with a lot of long guns and short cannons of her colleagues, and was currently in the police station. Waiting outside the bureau - NYPD just released the youngest Chinese genius professor at ESU a few hours after arresting him. There is so much news hidden in this matter that can be dug out!

When Pepper Potts helped Raymond Xu, who was beaten bruised and swollen, out of the gate of the police station, he couldn't help being surprised to see a large number of reporters attracted by a message from Betty Brant.After she learned the news of Raymond Xu's arrest, she immediately called Colonel James Rhodes who was conducting a search in Afghanistan. After usurping power", he quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, and made an overseas phone call back to his superior——

Thus, the bureaucracy of the United States completed a collaboration with unprecedented efficiency.

Raymond Xu looked at the large number of media with long guns and short cannons at the gate of the police station, and he was secretly delighted with emotion—I don’t know how the news from these media is so well-informed, but the current scene is better than he expected.

The call he claimed to make to the company's legal department actually ended up calling Pepper Potts, and Pepper, who was regarded by everyone as a vase of Tony's family, lived up to the professor's high expectations. She held on to the company before, but the news she got through Raymond and other channels showed that she had no other choice—so she quickly used her limited contacts to get the relationship to NYPD as quickly as possible.

But Raymond needed more than that. He was in the police station at the time, and it was difficult for him to explain what he needed with Chili Pepper. In the United States, as long as you have money, you can get a person out of the police station. It's not difficult, not to mention that Pepper still has connections.

But he couldn't say at the time that he still needed media attention, especially not in front of the police.

Now I don't know who leaked the news, which really helped him a lot.I am now in need of a platform to issue a manifesto.The declaration is the most powerful way of communication, it can quickly divide the camps of the enemy and us, and unite the necessary strength for myself at this time—and Pepper.

Under the embarrassing eyes of the police officers in the police station, the bruised and swollen Raymond Xu gently pushed Little Pepper away, beckoning the other party not to help him, and then walked down the steps slowly to the media—and there are more The media is rushing back after getting the news. In any case, as the youngest Asian-American tenured professor in the Ivy League, Raymond will occupy a considerable place in any American news that has just caught the wind of political correctness.

The reporters rushed forward quickly, using all the flashing lights, eager to put the microphone into the professor's mouth, and the messy questions emerged one after another. They either pointed to the corruption of NYPD or asked about the current situation of Stark Industries after the disappearance of its CEO. .

The professor looked around the room - of course he didn't find Gwen Stacy looking at him with complicated eyes in the crowd.Then he cleared his throat, and the reporters present knew that he must have something important to say, so one by one, the front row to the back row, all fell silent.A reporter handed him the microphone.

"I'm Raymond Xu, a tenured professor of Engineering at Imperial State University, global vice president of defense technology and senior technical consultant of Stark Industries, and I'm here to answer a series of questions from friends from the media in recent days."

Everyone gasps - since Tony Stark disappeared, it's not like nobody's been in charge of it or explained to the media, but it's all about Deputy CEO Obadiah Stein explained.Now, there is actually a person in Stark Industries who wants to explain to the media again after he just came out of the police station...

Anyone with a bit of political intelligence will realize that there must be something wrong inside Stark Industries under Obadiah.

"In recent days, there have been rumors that Stark Industries is undergoing large-scale layoffs and job adjustments. I confirmed this news to my friends in the media—the group is indeed undergoing a large-scale personnel reorganization without the presence of the largest shareholder, the chairman of the board of directors, and the CEO. Work."

Little Pepper was also taken aback by Raymond's move, but she quickly came back to her senses, although she is not the strong woman who has been cultivated many years later—after all, she was just a fledgling at this time— But she probably can also understand, this is almost Raymond's declaration of war to Obadiah.

The media was silent, and they only conveyed the shock of everyone present with the flickering of flashlights. Betty Brant was frantically writing down every word of Raymond in her notebook—and secretly lamented whether Gwen Stacy was How do you find a mentor like this?

"This hasty allocation of work obviously affects the operational efficiency of the group, and at the same time, it violates the relevant regulations of the group, and at the same time violates the labor laws and contract laws of the federal government, New York State, and New York City. I personally expressly oppose this The work continues and requests that all job transfers and layoffs be reassessed and that those involved be compensated."

This was almost explicitly pointed at Obadiah's nose, and incidentally united those employees who were dissatisfied because of being transferred or laid off-at this time, Gwen had mixed feelings in her heart. Just a few days ago, she I thought Professor Xu didn't know about it, but... just like what he said, he is a sophisticated and unpredictable person.

It is enough for ordinary people to be beaten up by the police for no reason, all their property confiscated, arrested and sent to the police station, which is enough to collapse-but he fished himself out a few hours later, and even Speech to the media in front of the police station.

By the way, who notified the media? --It's me!Did he include this step?
Thinking of this, Gwen couldn't help feeling a little chill down his back.

Raymond continued his speech: "But my objections—and more vocal and silent objections in the company, have not been taken seriously by the top. They still continue to undermine Mr. Howard Stark. Keeping the purpose, and using improper means, including dismissing uncooperative employees and even trying to use violence to threaten employees, to deal with those who try to stick to the principle, I must say that communication is the only way to solve the problem, and violence—”

Raymond took a deep breath, drew a long tone, then straightened his waist, moved his breath, quoted Isaac Asimov's famous quote, and declared loudly to the media in front of him: "Violence , is the last resort of the incompetent!"

The light in Gwen Stacy's eyes lit up.

"We are not afraid of violence, not from the careerists inside Stark Industries, nor from the NYPD or other departments, let alone the violence from Officer Eniseth Wilson who beat me up." Even that day Raymond had only heard the policeman's name once when he was beaten unconscious.He continued: "Because this violence is essentially the incompetence of the perpetrator. Stark Industries still has a group of employees who are loyal to the principle. Therefore, with these employees as the core strength, we promise to continue to cooperate with the US government. I I personally believe that today—"

Professor Xu looked at "Little Pepper" Pepper Potts: "Miss Pepper Potts, her friend Colonel James Rhodes, has become my backing. And thousands of people have bought products from Stark Industries Individuals or organizations that gain happiness and safety on the planet will also become the backing of employees who defend the core purpose of Stark Industries!"

Raymond raised the microphone high, loosened his hand, and the microphone fell to the ground with a loud bang, then turned and left.The reporters swarmed and wanted to ask him, but the professor and Pepper Potts got into Tony Stark's Rolls-Royce Phantom stretch car without looking back. go.
