I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

"Is there any news about the Spider-Woman who appeared in New York recently? Is there any news about the FBI who is currently pursuing her?" Director of National Intelligence Stephanie carefully cut off the beef with a knife and asked Nathaniel Wade beside her without looking sideways. "If there is any, is it true or is it information used to prevaricate Congress."

"It's not even enough to prevaricate Congress." Nathan shook his head, "But that little spider is quite harmless. It can at most catch illegal drug dealers and gangsters. It is a good neighbor. She can balance the little bastards in New York. , can also be used to knock the NYPD (New York City Police Department), ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) for their hard work, and it is not a bad thing for the DA (District Attorney) and the Attorney General. "

"A girl who has superpowers but is still so restrained..." Stephanie touched her chin, "Sounds good, if that's the case."

"But-" Nathan took a small bite of the sandwich in his hand, "Based on intelligence analysis, we believe she is a young woman between 16 and 24 years old, with short hair, and a height of 5 feet 4 inches (162.5) to 5 feet 8 inches (172) and weighs approximately 110 to 120 pounds."

"She is a little too thin for a girl of this age and height." As a well-informed middle-aged woman, Stephanie Intelligence Director made a sharp comment on the young woman and Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy figure, and guessed maliciously: "I think her size is not big, probably no more than C cup. Those boys with hormones all over their body probably won't like her very much."

After saying that, she shrugged, and the two big lumps of flesh on her chest trembled like waves with her movements.

Nathan, who had no interest in women, looked embarrassed. He didn't want to participate in his boss's daily discussion of pornographic jokes, so the technical expert changed the topic forcefully: "The FBI doesn't seem to like this vigilante. They accused her in the briefing. It’s too reckless.”

"Those blue jackets are just bullshit." Stephanie continued to comment sharply. "Maybe this spider lady caught them without pants while investigating the crime, and maybe she accidentally poked them in the buttocks. That’s how he screamed.”

"Ahem..." Nathan's goosebumps fell all over the floor. As a sexual insulator, he was really insensitive to this metaphor.

"I would say that this mess of law enforcement and intelligence departments should be rectified a long time ago. They just need a machine..." Thinking of the department under her that even Samsung boasted of simple business lines, Stephanie decided to change it. Topic: "Forget it, let's talk about something more important recently. How is Stark's disappearance?"

Nathan, who was spared by his director, breathed a sigh of relief and replied with relief: "The CIA and the military are in a mess. They seem to be afraid that something will happen to their business in Afghanistan, where a coffee cup costs one thousand dollars. People are being sent one after another to find Obadiah.”

The CIA and military have done some shady things in Afghanistan. This is not a secret in American political circles.

"Mr. President hopes that the CIA can be more obedient, and the Pentagon also agrees." Stephanie knocked on the dining table, "In the business of Afghanistan, we should close the stall as soon as possible, and don't wait for the Sword of Damocles to fall."

As the Director of National Intelligence, the head of the U.S. intelligence community, and the most senior intelligence official reporting directly to the President of the United States, Stephanie’s actual power is not as great as it seems. This is due to the decentralization and wrangling characteristics of the U.S. bureaucracy. Naturally, he wanted to punish the intelligence bureaus under his command and centralize power.

This is also what the current president expects.

"So, Nathan, from a technical expert's point of view, who do you think should be allowed to take over Stark Industries? Obadiah, wait until Tony Stark comes back? Or select a third person from the board of directors? ?”

"It's hard to say, it's like choosing a madman to run St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital." Nathan, who is familiar with Stark Industries management files, gave his answer very accurately, "Considering that Stark Industries is the national intelligence community and The main supplier to the Ministry of Defense, I can only say that the current and potential candidates, no matter who they are, will be very controversial and even require courage from this cabinet."

Nathan knew that for these civil servants, "courageous" was a hint - generally speaking, "controversial" only meant "will lose some votes", while "courageous" meant "will lose the entire election"!

"Courage? That's not a good word, especially for the blood pressure of His Excellency the President." Stephanie raised her head, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and continued to ask unhappily, "Is there any less 'courageous' option? , such as a Stark Industries executive who is willing to share information with us for a long time?"

"That's hard to say." Nathan frowned and thought, "It's hard for the senior management to find such candidates, most of them are beings who look like they make people suspect that the doctors at St. Elizabeth Hospital are also crazy. Director, you also know that Stark himself is not normal, and the candidates he appointed are not normal either."

"Then we will cultivate a high-level person, one who is malleable, flexible, easy to be accepted, has no distinctive factional background, lacks personal opinions, is not sharp in thinking, has no ability to change the status quo, and is recognized as easy to manipulate——"

Stephanie frowned, then her eyes lit up, staring at Nathan with more and more anticipation, "I mean, good at listening to other people's opinions and willing to listen to professional evaluations from third parties."

"Ah... uh... um... oh..." When Stephanie mentioned the word "easy to accept", Nathan immediately understood the director's potential target and his intention to recommend this target. In a short time, After weighing whether to drag his old friend into the muddy water, he found that his friend not only jumped in, but also seemed to swim to the middle of the muddy water. Nathan started to read the disclaimer before recommending:

"Actually, uh... I do know a person... To be precise, I met him before I joined the company... I think I mentioned it during the annual review... Anyway, he is not a senior executive with real power. , and according to the summary of various materials, he does not like to deal directly with federal agencies... Of course, he is always very honest and according to law——"

"You mean Professor Xu from Empire State University?" Professor Stephanie, who had no time to listen to her subordinates reciting the disclaimer, waved her hand and directly interrupted Nathan's spellcasting, "I have heard that the talented young man from Empire State University, Stark Industries' top technologist, a guy who made a good impression on everyone in Congress and the Pentagon and received federal funds. Although he is just as self-righteous, harbors unrealistic expectations of society, and other high-level intellectuals, It’s full of the enthusiasm of jumping back and forth between soft and hard like a Dick, right?”

Although she is a woman, Stephanie herself does not shy away from these "sexy jokes" and is even quite proficient in them. Nathan himself privately believes that this is also a major reason why Stephanie can secure her position.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Nathaniel still had to say that Raymond Xu was indeed such a person. To be more serious, it wasn't that he didn't have the ability to change the status quo - it was that he lacked someone who wanted him to change the status quo; and He is also happy to discuss issues with himself as a third party.

"If you want to talk about the relationship between fanaticism and hardcore, when he was my roommate, he would often borrow my car to catch girls. He was quite fanatic at that time." Nathan finally answered.

"Oh..." Stephanie stared into Nathan's eyes meaningfully, "So this time you recommended him to the so-called alumni mutual aid?"

"Maybe." Nathan nodded, recognizing the label of "alumni mutual aid" which is widely praised in the political and business circles. "I think this candidate is a good candidate. Professor Xu is a smart man. You don't need to worry about dealing with smart people. Their face or ideas, this allows us to save a lot of resources.”

Stephanie generally trusted Nathan's recommendation. She didn't even raise her head and just poured herself half a glass of red wine. "Are you sure that your friend can access Obadiah's office intranet?"

"You can try, but there is no guarantee." Nathan is still not as unreliable as he usually seems when dealing with his work, using a watertight explanation as an exemption clause, "He is not a close confidant of Obadiah, nor is The core decision-makers of Stark Industries are nothing more than a vase used by Stark Industries to appease Congress and respond to political correctness."

"But he wants to check his immediate boss." Stephanie shook the wine glass in her hand and closed her eyes slightly. "This shows that he is ambitious. An ambitious vase means that we have room for cooperation, and it also means that we Cooperation is one of the few options he has, isn't it, Mr. Wade?"

Nathaniel sighed and flattered without emotion: "Your judgment is correct, madam."

"Great." Stephanie put down the wine glass, pulled the salad plate over, and replied seemingly unintentionally, "But there are many vases, and there are many ambitious vases. To get our help, he still needs to show off A trait.”

When she said this, Stephanie finally raised her eyes and looked at Nathan sitting next to her through the rim of her glasses. She couldn't find anything strange in the man's eyebrows, but she was familiar with her subordinate Stephanie. The director knew that this was a sign that something was going on inside Nathan.

Stephanie doesn't care what these "abnormalities" are, as long as there are "abnormalities" - as the Director of National Intelligence, her responsibility is to control, utilize and guide these "abnormalities".

"He has to have a killer instinct." Stephanie stirred Sarah in front of her and made her decision calmly.

Nathan nodded in agreement.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Nathan opened his mouth again and said, "By the way, we found out that Xu went to California to meet with Pepper Potts. We haven't gotten the specific information about the meeting yet."

"He is a wonderful man. Now I think he is somewhat qualified."

The memes about the will of the universe were really not popular (a look of hindsight), so I deleted them all.

Maybe it’s because my personal understanding of online articles lags behind some versions (covering my face and holding my forehead)
