I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

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

Time goes back to a few minutes ago.

As a newly promoted NYPD superintendent, Clark knew that the small police station under his command was a mixed bag, but he did not expect that his subordinates would be so stupid when they were collecting money from others and helping others to eliminate disasters. Who is the disaster?

Just now, NYPD Chief Superintendent Terrence Monahan personally hung up the phone on him. The Chief Superintendent was not very angry on the phone, but what he said shocked Clark:

"The NYPD should strictly maintain neutrality when facing high-level political struggles, instead of stupidly leaving people with excuses!"

Hearing these words from Mr. Chief Superintendent, Clark looked at Enises Wilson, who had just been called over by him and was quite happy that he had beaten those self-righteous Asians. His eyes were calm and compassionate, as if Looks like a dead person.

After putting down the phone, Wilson, who was stared at by Mr. Chief Superintendent and felt very frightened, asked weakly: "Boss, what did the higher ups say?"

"The superiors are considering whether to give you a chance to change your job." Clark sighed, knowing that his subordinate has become a dead man in futures. "Wilson, I will use you as an example to warn all colleagues not to get involved easily. And get involved in the political battles between these big corporations, the Department of Defense, and the intelligence services."

Wilson was like a thunderbolt, standing there in a daze - he had always bullied ethnic minorities in the past, and he never imagined that this time he had paid some money to help teach an Asian who should have been cowardly in the past, how could he cause such trouble? Such a big mess.

Clark stopped looking at him. The chief put on his hat and trotted towards the police station holding room.

At the same time, Gwen Stacy, who was walking up and down the alley with her cell phone in her hand, was still hesitant - she was one of the few Spider-Men in the multiverse who did 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 police cell to save people... What's more, even if she rescues Raymond, 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 on her phone:

"Pepper Potts rescued your mentor, and now the entire New York City media is rushing there!"

So, when Gwen rushed to the door of the police station, she discovered that Betty Brant, a Western reporter who "ran as fast as she could", had already arrived with a lot of weapons from her colleagues and was currently at the police station. Waiting outside the station - the NYPD just arrested ESU's youngest Chinese-American genius professor a few hours later and released him. I don't know how much news is hidden in this matter!

When Pepper Potts helped Raymond Xu, who was bruised and bruised, and walked out of the police station door, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw a large number of reporters attracted by a message from Betty Brant. After she learned about the arrest of Raymond Xu, she immediately called Colonel James Rhodes, who was arranging the search in Afghanistan. After the colonel heard what Pepper said, "The internal shock of Stark Industries, Obadiah's attempt to After "usurping power", he quickly realized the seriousness of the situation and made an overseas phone call back to his superiors——

As a result, 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 cannons at the door of the police station. He was filled with emotion and was secretly happy - he didn't know how these media were so well-informed, but the current scene was better than he expected.

The call he claimed to have made to the company's legal department actually ended up being made to Pepper Potts, and Pepper Potts, who was regarded by everyone as Tony's family vase, did not live up to the professor's high expectations. She knew that she had to wait until Tony came back. She wanted to hold on to the company before, but the information she received through Raymond and other channels showed that she had no other choice - so she quickly used her limited contacts and channeled her connections to the NYPD as quickly as possible.

But Raymond needed more than that. When he was in the police station, it was difficult to explain to Pepper what he needed at once - 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 has connections.

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

Now I don’t know who leaked the news, which really helped him. I now need a platform to make a statement. Declaration is the most powerful way of communication. It can quickly divide the enemy's camp and unite the necessary power for himself - and Pepper.

In the awkward looks of the police officers, Raymond Xu, who had a bruised nose and face, gently pushed Xiaojiajiao away, signaled the other party to stop supporting him, and then slowly walked down the steps and came to the media - and more The media is rushing back after getting the news. In any case, as the youngest Asian tenured professor in the Ivy League, Raymond will occupy a considerable position in any American news that has just blown the wind of political correctness.

Reporters quickly swarmed up, using all their flashlights and eager to put the microphone into the professor's mouth. They asked endless questions, each of which either pointed directly at the NYPD's corruption problem or asked about the current situation of Stark Industries after its CEO disappeared. .

The professor looked around the audience - of course he did not find Gwen Stacy looking at him with complicated eyes in the sea of ​​people. Then he cleared his throat. The reporters present knew that he must have something important to say, so they passed the news one by one, and those in the front row and those in the back fell silent. A reporter handed him the microphone.

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

Everyone took a breath - since Tony Stark disappeared, it's not that no one has taken care of these things or explained to the media, but it was all Deputy CEO Obadiah Stane explained. Now, there is actually a person within Stark Industries who wants to explain it to the media again just after coming out of the police station...

Anyone with any political intelligence will realize that something must be wrong within Stark Industries under Obadiah.

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

Pepper was also surprised by Raymond's move, but she quickly came to her senses. Although she is not the strong woman who has become a real person many years later - after all, she was just starting out at this time - But she could probably understand that this was almost a declaration of war from Raymond to Obadiah.

The media were silent, using only the flash of flashlights to convey the shock of everyone present. Betty Brant was frantically jotting down Raymond's every word in her notebook - and secretly lamenting who Gwen Stacy was. How did you find such a mentor?

"This hasty allocation has obviously affected the group's operational efficiency, and at the same time, violated the group's relevant regulations, as well as federal, New York State, and New York City labor and contract laws. I personally object to this. The work continues and all job reassignments and layoffs are required to be re-evaluated and the relevant personnel involved are compensated."

This was almost a direct criticism of Obadiah, and it also united those employees who were dissatisfied because of being transferred or laid off. At this time, Gwen felt mixed emotions. Just a few days ago, she I thought Professor Xu didn't know about this, but... just like what he said, he was a sophisticated and unpredictable person.

Ordinary people would be devastated when faced with the whole package of being beaten up by the police for no reason, having all their property confiscated, arrested and sent to the police station - but he was able to get himself out within a few hours, and even Addressing the media in front of the police station.

By the way, who informed the media? --It's me! Did he include this step?

Thinking of this, Gwen couldn't help but feel a chill in her back.

Raymond still continued his speech: "But my objections - and the more vocal and silent objections in the company, have not been taken seriously by the top management. They continue to undermine Mr. Howard Stark's work for this company. The purpose of staying and using unfair means, including removing uncooperative employees and even trying to use violence to threaten employees, to deal with people who try to stick to their principles. I must say that communication is the only way to solve problems, and violence——"

Raymond took a deep breath, drew a long note, then straightened his back, took full breath, quoted Isaac Asimov's famous saying, and declared loudly to the media in front of him: "Violence , is the last resort for the incompetent!"

The light in Gwen Stacy's eyes lit up.

"We are not afraid of violence, not from careerists within Stark Industries, nor from the NYPD or other departments, nor from the violence of Officer Enises Wilson who beat me." Even that day. He only heard the policeman's name once when he was beaten until he became unconscious, and Raymond also remembered the name clearly. He continued: "Because this violence is essentially the incompetence of the perpetrator. Stark Industries still has a group of employees who are loyal to its principles. Therefore, with this group of employees as the core force, we promise to continue to cooperate with the U.S. government. We I personally believe that today——”

Professor Xu looked at Pepper Potts: "Miss Pepper Potts and her friend Colonel James Rhodes have become my support. And thousands of products from Stark Industries Individuals or organizations that achieve happiness and safety in the world will also become the backing of employees who defend the core purpose of Stark Industries!"

Raymond raised the microphone high, loosened his hand slightly, and the microphone fell to the ground with a loud bang, then turned around and left. Reporters swarmed around and wanted to ask him questions, but the professor didn't look back and got into Tony Stark's Rolls-Royce Phantom limousine with Pepper Potts, swaggering. go.
