#442 - Abnormal deep sea
Starlight was concentrating, her eyes fixed on Madeline.
Madeline is the vice president of Vought Corporation and the direct supervisor of the Super Seven.
She has outstanding abilities and not only holds a high status in the company, but even the captain of the Super Seven, Homelander, trusts Madeline's abilities and chooses her as his exclusive agent.
And Madeline also used her own abilities to prove to the outside world how successful Vought Corporation's superhero star-making was.
Xingguang is well aware of Madeline's position in the company.
Just one word from her could make Homelander consider kicking her out of the group of seven.
Therefore, facing the boss who holds the power of life and death over her, Xingguang puts in 100% of his attention, fearing that he might miss any important task.
Although even if she missed it, her agent would remind her later...
However, Starlight didn't notice that Deep Sea's disgusting gaze was wrapping around him like sticky seaweed.
The people of his country let him go.
However, the emotional excitement for a moment stimulated the activity of hormones in the body, and made Shenhai, the idiot with a somewhat stupid brain, a little bolder.
Of course, the Chinese don’t mind looking for someone to vent their desires in the deep sea, which is in estrus all the time.
As long as they don't cause trouble for him and don't affect the public's support for him, the people of the motherland don't bother to pay attention to what the members of the Super Seven want to do.
But if the deep sea touches the bottom line of our motherland...the heat rays can also be used to grill fish.
"Starlight will be cutting the ribbon at St. Jude's Children's Hospital tomorrow." Madeline suddenly turned to Anne, "Remember to hug more children with cancer. For crying expressions, refer to the instructional video I sent you last week."
Xingguang was stunned for a moment.
She still hadn't quite figured out the difference between a superhero star and a superhero.
"I……"
Starlight's voice was cut off by the sound of Homelander tapping on the table.
He put down his phone and said, "When you were fighting a fire in Times Square last week, your uniform's light transmittance did not meet the standard. According to calculations, your real-time popularity lost 0.5%."
People in our homeland don’t care whether Starlight is popular or not.
What he cares about is whether Xingguang, who joined the Super Seven, is popular.
Now that Starlight has joined the Super Seven, any personal popularity loss will be counted on the team, which means that the decline in Starlight's popularity will also lead to a decline in the popularity of Motherland.
This is something that the people of our motherland cannot tolerate.
The conference room suddenly became so quiet that one could hear the sound of deep-sea fish gills opening and closing - it seemed as if the beasts in heat could not wait any longer.
Xingguang held her breath, an inexplicable feeling of oppression looming in her heart. She didn't say anything more, but just nodded stiffly.
The motherland smiled with satisfaction.
"Next quarter, we will focus on the CP line of Deep Sea and Starlight." Madeline added, breaking the deadlock in the meeting room, "On Sunday morning, take photos in the pool. Remember to paint the waves on your waist."
Shen Hai's expression was somewhat surprised.
The engine was still chewing gum and made no suggestion.
Of course, his suggestions were useless.
It is said that Madeline is the overall planner of the entire Super Seven, but all the members of the Seven except Starlight know that Homelander has the final say here.
He can do whatever he wants!
No one can be more prominent than the people of our motherland.
Otherwise, the fiery heat rays will definitely make you feel a 'passion' hotter than that of fanatical fans.
This guy is a lunatic!
Queen Maeve sneered, but didn't say anything, just shook her head.
Everyone present knew Shen Hai's intention.
By doing this, Madeline had expressed her meaning.
She wanted to teach Starlight a lesson.
Xingguang's assistant has figured out her personality and reported her recent status to Madeline.
What Madeline wanted was an obedient tool, a superhero star who could stabilize the popularity of the Super Seven after the Lamplighter left.
But Xingguang doesn't seem to want to be a mere vase.
So, it's time to show Starlight that Vought Corporation is boss.
Not only Starlight, but even Queen Maeve had experienced similar things. However, because Queen Maeve was too powerful, the seniors of the Super Seven did not dare to make things difficult for her.
No one wants to mess with a weakened female version of Homelander.
However, this kind of thing is inevitable.
Vought Corporation always finds a way to deal with this group of "self-righteous" superheroes. Although Queen Maeve was not oppressed by the workplace rules at the beginning, she still obeyed and became Homelander's ex-girlfriend.
In this world, if you want to get anything, you have to pay a price.
Queen Maeve has gained a lot, so she doesn't want to lose it...
However, she remembered that Xingguang was chosen by a big shot, right?
Just leave it to the Deep Sea, aren't you afraid that something might happen to Starlight?
Queen Maeve gave Madeline a strange look.
Madeline seemed to be aware of her gaze.
"What's up, Maeve?"
"No."
Queen Maeve shook her head. What Madeline thought had nothing to do with her. If anything happened, she and her fellow countrymen would have to deal with it on their own.
Soon, Madeline assigned the tasks to the Super Seven one by one.
The Homelander stood up.
The others followed suit and stood up.
He looked at his 'teammates' and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Guys, I believe you will not let me down, right?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
Absolutely not!
The people of our motherland smile even more.
"Come on, Madeline, we should go talk about my quarterly development plan."
Homelander's prestige is indeed enough among the Super Seven. No one in the Super Seven dares to resist Homelander.
Even the most resilient Queen Maeve rarely stands against her homelanders.
She really couldn't stand the filthiness of Vought Corporation and the Super Seven, but she would not actively think of resisting. At most, she would just turn a blind eye.
However, this does not mean that Homelander will be able to gain the love and admiration of all fans, nor will it allow Homelander to gain the full support of Vought Corporation.
Capital only likes to pursue profits.
The current Homelander can provide enough value to Water Company, so Water Company is willing to support him to become the captain of the Super Seven Team and is also willing to deal with the dirty things he has done.
However, if Homelander loses this value, or if someone among the seven can bring more substantial benefits to Vought Company.
The motherland is not so important.
In order to avoid Vought Corporation's reduction of resources and a resulting decline in his popularity, Homelander needs to have a good discussion with Madeline on how to advance the superhero plan for the next season.
He and Madeline were one.
The more famous Homelander becomes, the more secure Madeline's position in the upper echelons will be, and Vought Corporation will also be able to use Homelander as a business card to extend its reach into the military and political circles.
We all have a bright future, don't we?
The moment the elevator door closed, Starlight saw Homelander adjusting his cloak in front of the mirror, and the smile in his reflection was more scorching than his hot gaze.
The members of the Super Seven were all more or less relieved after Homelander left.
The locomotive slumped in the chair, his eyes somewhat numb.
He wondered if he should wait to go find his girlfriend.
But they can't run into the city this time. Killing one person would have affected the popularity of the Super Seven.
If it happens again, Homelander might use heat rays to blast him and make him really explode...
The engine shuddered.
The addiction that had arisen for a moment seemed to have dissipated a lot. His brain came back online. He glanced at Queen Maeve.
"I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
After that, a gust of wind swept through the conference room.
The locomotive's figure disappeared in the conference room in an instant. He didn't take the elevator, but it was much faster than the elevator.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the speedsters in the orthodox superhero worlds such as Marvel and DC, the speed of the locomotive is actually not too slow.
Even a locomotive that is not taking drugs can actually maintain the super speed of moving at the speed of sound.
Queen Maeve sat in her chair without reacting.
Whether it was a locomotive, a Homelander, or anything else, in her eyes, they were all garbage, the same non-burnable garbage as her.
Now, there is one more piece of trash...
"Oh, I think... we should find a place to talk? How about my office?" Shenhai invited.
If you can exclude the abnormally salty and humid nature of the deep sea, the appearance of the deep sea is still quite confusing.
At the very least, he now looks like a righteous superhero.
"Madeline arranged for us to conduct joint promotion in the next quarter. I think we need to get to know each other first so that we can better advance the work..."
Deep sea explained clearly.
Starlight smiled and nodded.
In her opinion, having a caring colleague like Shen Hai is undoubtedly a good thing.
Maybe with his help, she could find a way to change the company and let her go the sexy route.
The two walked out of the meeting room together.
From beginning to end, Queen Maeve did not react at all.
Gulu——
Chair push.
Queen Maeve's eyelids twitched slightly.
It's the invisible man.
He might have gone to peek into the deep sea, or he might have gone to the ladies' room again...
As for the black color?
Wearing a black armor, he looked like a sculpture, and his silence almost made everyone forget about him.
This guy has never expressed his demands, and has never done anything messy - it seems like he was sent by Vought Company to make up the numbers.
Of course, it may also be because Xuan Se can’t speak, so even if he really did something, he can’t say it.
However, this guy seems to have a good relationship with his fellow countrymen. There are many things his fellow countrymen will not tell them, but they will communicate with Xuanse, and their attitude towards Xuanse is always friendly.
Xuanse remained silent.
Queen Maeve closed her eyes and rested.
The conference room fell completely silent.
——
Private office in Deep Sea.
The two have been communicating for some time.
Xingguang had already realized that something was wrong. Deep Sea's gaze was looking back and forth at Xingguang, making her feel like she was being licked by some sticky creature.
This made Xingguang a little wary.
But Deep Sea’s friendliness before didn’t seem like an act.
"Thank you for your willingness to guide me."
Xingguang maintained a polite smile, but her hands unconsciously clenched.
She felt that she should go to work.
The agent has already arranged today's schedule. As a new member of the Super Seven, she needs a lot of exposure to maintain her popularity.
Although this is something that Xingguang finds hard to accept.
She had always thought that Vought was a superhero company, not a superstar company.
Shenhai walked around the desk and approached slowly.
"It is my duty to guide newcomers, especially those with potential like you."
Xingguang subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Don't be nervous." Shenhai took another step forward. "You know what? In the ocean, weak creatures always need to rely on strong ones to survive."
Starlight noticed that Deepsea's eyes were on her collar, and the feeling of being violated intensified.
"I think I should go train."
But Shen Hai blocked her way with his arms.
"Give me…"
He said it!
Shen Hai gave orders directly to the newcomer in front of him.
This made Xingguang's expression freeze.
"Sir, I don't understand what you mean..."
The stars still leave hope.
I hope that what happened just now was just Deep Sea's careless words.
However, seeing Xingguang's confused look, Shenhai felt relieved.
This guy...is indeed the gift that Madeline arranged for him!
Starlight has no idea of his own weight, nor his weight in the Seven.
She is the lucky one chosen by the top management of Water!
"I said, kneel down and give me..."
Deepsea repeated.
A look of surprise appeared on Xingguang's face.
She doesn't understand.
I don’t understand either.
What kind of person did this guy imagine her to be? !
"You're crazy! Damn it, I'm going to report you to Water Corporation..."
Before Xingguang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shenhai.
"You know, in the Super Seven, my words carry a lot of weight. I can get you... more opportunities."
"If you leave now, you know the cartoon Charmeleon? That guy offended me, so now he can only stay in the cartoon channel of Water Company and play the puppet man."
"Starlight, do you want to be like her?"
Shen Hai stopped smiling and his eyes turned dangerous.
"So, are you sure you want to do this?" He lowered his voice, "I can make it difficult for you to take a single step in Vought Company!"
"I can also ask you to get out of the Super Seven right now."
A calm voice appeared.
Shen Hai's expression changed drastically and he looked a little panicked.
Although it is unclear who the person is, if someone is seen doing this, he will definitely have to pay a large sum of money.
Maybe, if it is exposed, it will affect the popularity of the seven-member group. If the Chinese people know about it by then... Shenhai didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He quickly turned around and looked at the person who came.
But when he saw the person clearly, Shenhai was stunned.
"Madeline, is this how you arrange... the growth plan for newcomers designated by me?"
Madeline stood next to the strange man, looking a little embarrassed.
Is this guy an idiot whose only thought is to do it?
I asked you to teach Xingguang to be sensible, but what I really wanted was for Xingguang to be sensible in front of the people who should be sensible!
Who the hell told you to do it yourself?!
The faces of the people in the motherland became even more embarrassed. (End of this chapter)
