Chapter 29: My Coke is a little cold
Walter Tower, the annual Walter International Shareholders' Meeting is being held.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt that the superhero industry has enjoyed a boom in the latest year. Our net income increased by 14%. This fall, construction of our superhero theme park outside Paris is expected to The construction of the park will be completed within a year.”
Madeleine, Vice President of Water Corporation, was giving a speech, and the lecture hall was filled with shareholders and media representatives of all sizes.
A frenzied atmosphere enveloped all the listeners.
"But as you know, it's not the most important thing. Because the important job is to manage, support and advise the brave heroes. They stop harm from happening for us every day."
Madeleine paused, "Next, let's watch a VCR."
Accompanied by Madeleine's words, the promotional video of the Water Company began to play on the projection screen.
In the backstage of the lecture hall, many staff members gathered here and were busy.
"Right, so far, you've done a good job."
Ashley Barrett, director of talent and relations department at Walter Company, boasted of the stars who entered the red carpet for the first time.
Starlight, a member of the new Super Seven selected by the Water Company.
It was the first time to receive so much media attention, and the starlight was a little dizzy.
Her dream since childhood was to join the Water Company and become a superhero.
The joy of her dream coming true kept hitting her, and she didn't quite understand Ashley's words.
"Sorry, I don't seem to have done anything."
Next to her, a makeup artist was constantly modifying the ends of her hair, which made her unable to focus on Ashley's face, so she couldn't understand the meaning of Ashley's words through facial expressions.
"Exactly, you have a 2.5 percent lead among 18- to 49-year-old Midwestern and conservative Catholics. By the way, your interview speech was very humble, humble, very smart. choose."
Ashley shrewdly analyzed.
Xingguang felt that she might have misunderstood herself, "I'm serious, those words are from my heart, not from beautiful scenes."
"Yes, that's why we love you. So, are you ready to change your life?"
Ashley stared into Starlight's eyes.
Xingguang was a little nervous and looked at his mother who was accompanying him.
Her mother held her hand and gave her an encouraging look.
"Yes," Xingguang took a deep breath, "Yes, I'm ready."
Two minutes later, Xingguang let out a decadent sigh.
"No, I'm too nervous to speak in front of so many people. It's much more difficult than a campaign speech at Des Moines High School. I'm going out to get some air and buy a bottle of soda."
Starlight decided to go outside for a walk.
After saying hello to her mother, she picked up a staff baseball cap and walked outside the building.
Starlight is wearing a cloak with yellow star spots, which is easy to be recognized by people with a heart, so she put on her mother's coat.
The outside of Water Tower was full of onlookers who were eating melons, holding various signs, whistling and shouting for their supporters.
"Motherlander, I love you! I want to have a baby for you!"
"Queen Maeve, I've watched your movie a hundred times! Can I drink your bath water?"
"Xuan Se, you are so cool...!"
When superheroes become the entertainment industry, the fan base has also become the top priority, so Walter Company pays great attention to the cultivation of fans.
The huge crowd of superhero fans outside now is the result of years of cultivation by Walter.
Xingguang dodged fans and the media and quietly walked into a convenience store.
"An iced Diet Coke, thank you."
Starlight felt a little thirsty.
The salesperson said that Diet Coke has no ice, only room temperature.
Starlight was a little frustrated.
She felt that this might be the beginning of a bad day for her.
"If you believe me, I can turn your Coke into ice."
A slightly abrupt voice sounded from behind her.
Starlight turned her head and found that it was a handsome Asian guy smiling at her.
The slender youth, wearing a black and white trench coat, stretched out his hand to her.
After thinking for a moment, Starlight handed him Diet Coke, "If you can really do it, I will invite you to drink a bottle."
This young man dressed in a coquettish manner is none other than Wei Chen.
The annual general meeting of shareholders, such a lively event, how could Wei Chen not join in the fun!
But after watching it for a while, he got bored.
All around were people, the media, ordinary people, and even mutants, gathered together, shouting loudly, and making noise.
It gave Wei Chen the feeling that it was like the audition scene of the fast men and fast women and the super talent show in the previous life.
So he decided to find a place to sit, and after finding a convenience store nearby that could provide seats, he got in.
Luckily, I saw a familiar face—Xingguang.
Because Wei Chen had read the memorabilia of 2147, he was deeply impressed by Starlight.
Born in Des Moines, Iowa, a small town girl with blond hair - Starlight, after a hard selection and selection, finally became the pinnacle of superheroes - Super Seven. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
She thought she could realize her superhero dream, but the heavy reality gave her a blow.
On the first day he entered the department, he was bullied by his idol Deep Sea - forced to give him O.
Shen Hai boasted that he was the second child of the Super Seven, and only under the motherland, with some coercion and temptation, the ignorant Xingguang was stunned by her.
In fact, the super power of the deep sea is only to be able to talk to the fish, and he should be the weakest in the group of seven.
Now that Wei Chen saw the starlight, of course he wouldn't let this happen.
A girl who is so slick, naturally can't be cheap that **** in the deep sea.
Many thoughts flashed in Wei Chen's heart for a moment, but the movements in his hands kept going.
He took the Coke from Xingguang, activated his superpower, and the cold air instantly filled the entire Coke bottle.
Coke seemed to have fallen into the polar cold world, and was instantly covered by cold air.
The white ice-cold water vapor rises from the bottom of the bottle, then turns into blisters and rises to the mouth of the bottle, turning into thin ice crystals.
Xingguang looked at the cold cola, and then looked up at Wei Chen.
"My God! Is this a superpower? It's unbelievable that there is such a powerful superpower! I mean, I'd dream of having superpowers that control the temperature so I don't have to worry about summer and winter. It's gone!"
Starlight shouted loudly.
Wei Chen handed her a cola, "I find that the superpowers that girls want to have will always be unexpected. Hey, let's talk, invite me for a drink."
"Of course, but I don't have a lot of time, if you don't mind."
Xingguang also has to attend the debut speech, so he can't stay outside for too long.
"certainly."
Wei Chen made a proud expression.
