I Play DC Hero In Marvel Chapter 6: The unwilling Eddie
"Anton, I hesitated for a long time before I decided to see you."
Eddie hesitated: "There is something that has been in my heart for a long time, and I don't vomit. Before that, do you know that I will be fired from the last company?"
"Slightly heard that you offended a 'big man'."
Anton shrugs.
Walks over and pulls the chair behind the desk and invites him to take a seat.
Eddie sat down and asked, "Do you want to know why I offended him?"
"Let me hear your story."
Anton returned to his old position and crossed Erlang's legs. Looking at the nervous Eddie, he smiled and said, "Relax, no matter what you say, I will not fire you. I am just an associate editor and have no power to fire you. You know, you are the editor-in-chief, and whatever you want to say, please show your courage.”
Eddie was still nervous and said slowly: "Carlton Drake, the boss of the Life Foundation. The reason why his pharmaceutical company can grow rapidly is because he used the homeless people on the roadside to test drugs and conduct illegal drugs. Human experimentation. His entire business empire, built on thousands of dead corpses — I pursued this in interviews, which ultimately angered him.”
Anton thought thoughtfully: "You lost your job because of this, so you are not reconciled and want to continue to pursue it?"
"I don't know."
Eddie's tone was hesitant, but with a hint of certainty: "I finally found another job... But as you said, my life was messed up by him, and I'm not reconciled."
"I will take time to discuss this matter with the old man."
Anton pondered for a moment and said, "You go back to work first, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Carlton Drake of the Life Foundation is a millionaire.
In terms of worth, this young but outstanding medical achievement Dr. Drake may be no less than Jonah Jameson's fortune accumulated over the years.
If Eddie wants to pursue this matter, it is equivalent to the Daily Bugle taking the initiative to declare war with the Life Foundation.
To be honest, from a personal point of view, Anton is very supportive of Eddie's exposure to Carlton Drake as a scumbag.
But it should be taken into account that the Daily Bugle does not belong to Anton, and he lacks willful capital.
Doing things without considering the consequences is a sign of immaturity.
Perhaps afterwards, Anton could use his own strength to give Eddie some support, but Jonah Jameson is the decision maker for the Daily Bugle's position, and Anton must respect the old man's opinion.
"Okay."
Eddie thought it was Anton's excuse, couldn't hide his disappointment, got up and prepared to leave
"Wait, Eddie, personally, I support you, but you know, the newspaper is my home, but not mine."
Seeing this, Anton added: "Don't worry, I will try my best to convince the old man."
"I understand, thank you."
Eddie felt the sincerity of the words and looked grateful.
Seeing him walking away, Anton touched his chin, took out his mobile phone, called the old man, and reported the whole story.
What Anton didn't expect was that Jonah Jameson, instead of persuading him to forgive others, laughed and asked Anton to tell Eddie to pursue it with all his strength.
Anton was surprised. Before he could figure out how to persuade him, Jameson agreed immediately.
"Why?"
He curiously said: "Jonah, you should know better than me that the investigation of the Life Foundation is very risky. I heard that the Life Foundation has a lot of secret activities. If you promise Eddie to pursue it, we will Possibly threatened by force from the Life Foundation, or even assassinated."
"Anton, New York is our territory, and the Life Foundation belongs to San Francisco. Believe me, the Life Foundation can't reach New York, nor dare it."
Jameson is quite stubborn: "As long as you want to do it, let it go."
"Old man, I have to change my stereotype of you. It turns out that you are really a retired newspaper editor, not the stingy newspaper boss I remembered."
Anton smiled.
In addition to his role as a businessman, Jonah Jameson has also served as editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle for decades.
As we all know, in addition to publishing gossip news, newspapers also carry the social responsibility of exposing the dark side of society and promoting positive energy.
If it wasn't for justice, how could Jonah Jameson repeat the trivial work day in and day out?
Over the years, if Jameson devoted his energy to other industries, his wealth would be at least several times higher than he is today.
"You've also impressed me, Anton."
Jameson on the other side of the phone was both relieved and happy, and smiled: "Whether you have resolved this matter or not, you already have the determination to be the owner of the newspaper."
"If you have a compliment, please wait until the matter is resolved."
Anton hangs up.
Boom boom boom!
Just as he was about to let Eddie come back to the office, when the two were talking in detail, there was another knock at the door.
The golden screenwriter has arrived.
Anton immediately put aside Eddie's affairs and discussed the script with the screenwriter.
To him, the Life Foundation is important, but nowadays, all matters related to the film are far greater than the Life Foundation.
The gold medal screenwriter is a white man named Browning Toby who came from a poor family.
In today's hard-earned life, Browning understands the importance of money better than anyone.
Therefore, he has great respect for Anton who gave money.
The exchange between the two was very pleasant.
Browning finds that Anton is not an ignorant rich second generation. Many of Batman's settings make him shine, and the storyline is also in line with popular aesthetics.
His work is icing on the cake, not helping.
"This kind of work that is rich and easy to do, please give me more!"
Browning's heart is calling ~IndoMTL.com~ as I just said, complete the script as quickly as possible. "Anton said, "Besides, I just thought, there is another job suitable for you. "
"Please speak." Browning nodded.
"Write this story out and promote it to the public in the form of a novel as the first step in promoting the movie." Anton said, "As for the compensation, you will get what you deserve."
"Deal."
Browning nodded decisively without hesitation.
Batman's story setting is quite complete, the job is not too difficult, and the pay is higher than the market price, so he is very happy to cooperate with Anton.
"Tomorrow I'll fly to LA to meet up with Jim. If you want to go back to LA, you can come with me."
Anton nodded.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave."
Browning is very good at looking people, seeing Anton's intention to see off guests, and voluntarily retire.
Anton looked out the window. The golden sunset glowed with clouds.
I suddenly come back to my senses.
I didn't expect to get to this point in a chat with Browning.
He got up and went to the staff area, where he saw Betty who was packing up and getting off work.
"Hey Betty, is Eddie off work?"
"I don't know."
Betty didn't give him a good look, she twisted her hips without looking back, and disappeared into Anton's eyes.
"Isn't it just that you don't say anything, so I didn't let you be the editor-in-chief? Women are too stingy!"
Anton touched his nose, embarrassed.
"Anton, are you looking for me?"
Eddie just walked out of the office.
"Yes, are you free to have a drink? Just downstairs at the bar not far away."
Anton invited: "I have a few words to tell you."
