"You look very...professional! Of course, also very beautiful."
Looking up and down Ophelia, Leon couldn't help but praised.
"Oh, thanks for the compliment."
Accompanied by Ophelia, the new secretary, Leon came to his own president's office.
Not long after sitting down, Ophelia took a stack of papers and came to the desk.
"These files are for your purpose..."
Sitting on the office chair, Leon was absentmindedly looking at the documents on the desk while lowering his head in thought, as if thinking about something.
Ophelia is very serious and responsible for her new job.
While Leon was looking at the file, he asked quietly from the side:
"Sir, coffee?"
"No, give me a glass of orange juice."
"OK."
When she returned to the office with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, Leon had already read the documents and sat on the office chair.
Although Ophelia has been unable to figure out Ophelia's intention to approach her, why on earth. However, since the other party comes to interview your secretary, you must be prepared to be called upon by yourself...
Seeing Ophelia's return, Leon was not welcome, took the orange juice, and asked, "What's the schedule for today?"
Ophelia did not take out a small notebook like some rookie secretaries did to explain to Leon one by one, but directly responded like flow:
"At noon, reporters from "Flicky World" want to do an interview with you, and "Clarion Daily" and "Global Daily" also want to do an interview with you..."
Before Ophelia finished speaking, Leon interrupted her directly:
"Everything is pushed, just say I have some photophobia. There will be such newspaper or magazine interviews in the future, and you can just ask Oliver to come forward."
He is not like Stark, he is the type who likes to show his face.
To make a fortune in a muffled voice is the last word...
"okay."
After a pause, Ophelia didn't feel any surprise, and then said: "At nine o'clock in the evening, you have a dinner at the Pierre Hotel."
Picking up the orange juice and taking a sip, Leon asked, "Dinner? With whom?"
"Secretary of State Ross, and several senior Pentagon officials."
"Well, I will be there on time."
…
Soon, Ophelia, who checked the itinerary, put away the files on the desktop, "If there is nothing else, I will go out to work..."
Just as Ophelia was about to turn around and leave, Leon seemed to remember something and stopped her aloud:
"By the way, Ophelia, you ask Oliver to come over. I have something to tell him."
Upon hearing this, Ophelia paused for a while, and then responded:
"OK."
Watching Ophelia's graceful back and leaving the office, Leon made a sharp expression and whispered:
"I hope you don't do anything stupid..."
. . .
Five minutes later, the door of the office was knocked again.
"Come in."
As soon as the voice fell, the second in command of the Nirvana Group, Deputy Chief Executive Oliver Harris, pushed the door in.
"Sir, you call me?"
As a loyal follower and right-hand man of Leon, Oliver's presence in Leon is just as important as Pepper's presence in Stark.
Especially after Bakuto got his keel and often practiced in retreat, Oliver took over from Bakuto and continued to help Leon manage the entire Nirvana group, as well as the hands and powers that are hidden around the world.
Leon is also very relieved to hand some private affairs to him.
"sit."
After signaling the opponent to take a seat, Leon asked directly:
"What happened to the thing I asked you to do?"
Since the new president took office, Leon has sent Oliver to conduct public relations with all parties. The purpose is to move oneself up in the position of SHIELD.
SHIELD is a very important piece in his future plans.
Whether it is for maintaining the peace of the earth, consolidating the base camp, or for the future showdown with Thanos, SHIELD must be purged and reformed!
He didn't want such a huge organization as S.H.I.E.L.D. to be obliterated by the small characters of Hydra, and even in the final battle, he didn't even have the qualifications to play soy sauce...
In order to do all of this, Leon's position in SHIELD must reach a certain height.
Originally, he was thinking of reaching the sky one step at a time and directly "persuade" the World Security Council to add a post of deputy director in SHIELD.
However, after considering the consequences and impact, he gave up this tempting idea.
After all, promotion must follow the Basic Law, step by step.
Even if he is the future successor recognized by the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., it is no exception...
Since the director is temporarily unable to become the director, set a small goal and become the head of a branch first!
"I'm just about to report to you the progress of this matter."
Oliver's answer caused Leon to raise his brows, "Oh? Come and listen."
"Several members of the board of directors recognize your great contribution to the maintenance of world peace, and feel that your position is a bit too low..."
With both hands resting on the desk, fingers crossed, Leon's blue eyes watching his right-hand man quietly:
"In other words, they all agreed?"
"Yes, except for one person."
Hearing this, Leon's eyes were slightly cold, and he spit out a name from his mouth:
"Malik!"
"You guessed it right. After Malik left the board, he still exerts a huge influence on the board. His successor, unsurprisingly, raised a negative vote."
With a sneer, Oliver didn't know whether he was laughing at Hydra or his opponent's fragility. The corners of his mouth raised lightly, and he continued:
"However, one person's objection will not help. This proposal has been approved by the board of directors. It shouldn't take long for it to be officially notified..."
"That's good..."
With Leon's current influence of the White House and the military, as well as the Avengers' halo bonus, the success of public relations is expected.
Leon was a little surprised, but it was another matter.
Pierce, the former head of S.H.I.E.L.D., one of the leaders of Hydra, did not even object.
Hydra was so jealous of him that he wished that he would be hit by a car when he walked across the road tomorrow. How could he still agree to let him be promoted and have more power.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Leon was soon relieved.
The reason why Pierce didn't object was to hide his identity and to avoid the suspicion of the connection between him and Malik.
What's more, even if he opposes it?
Among the five members of the World Security Council, he has "persuaded" three of them. Even if Pierce objected, he would only hold two of them, and it would have no impact on the overall situation.
In other words, Leon's promotion has already decided the ending from the very beginning...
