Chapter 439: Empty Shell
Ethan didn't want to know what kind of cooperation agreement the Autobots and the U.S. military would reach in the end, but Optimus Prime was very enthusiastic and willing to let his Autobots send Ethan and the others back.
They are currently in the wilderness. North America is a place with a large area and sparsely populated, especially in the west. It is not an easy task to walk back from a large desert area on two legs.
But Ethan politely declined his kindness, and at the same time let Optimus Prime not worry about Sam, he would take Sam back with him, anyway, he didn't mind doing a favor by the way.
Of course, Optimus Prime would not object, and said goodbye to Ethan happily. The Autobots now have more important things to deal with, which is to reach an alliance agreement with humans.
Sam has not expressed his opinion until this time he asked Ethan: "How should we go back?"
"You know I use magic." Ethan turned his head and glanced at Sam, who was still a young high school student: "You should know that mages are very good at teleporting spells, right?"
Sam immediately understood that Ethan was going to teleport back to Los Angeles directly, and he was very curious about this ability that only existed in fantasy.
"What kind of teleportation? Did we return to Los Angeles in a blink of an eye, or did we travel through some strange space and then return to the present world?"
"Well, combine the two!"
Ethan waved his hand lightly, and a blue halo appeared in front of them. Standing here, he could even clearly see the hotel room opposite the light door.
"Oh oh oh!"
Sam felt very incredible, but he still asked if there was anything to pay attention to.
"No, just walk over there."
Tony didn't have the leisure to tease the child, and he walked directly to the portal after it opened.
Seeing that Tony passed through the portal without any abnormality, Sam and Mikaela walked over one after another. Ethan walked over last, and the portal closed.
Back at the hotel in downtown Los Angeles, Sam and Mikaela would have no trouble going home, not to mention asking the hotel to call a taxi for them.
Originally, Sam and Mikaela could leave directly, but neither of the two young people wanted to leave.
Seeing this situation, Tony finally got up helplessly, indicating that he had gone back to his room.
Sam and Mikaela looked at each other, Mikaela originally wanted to ask Ethan about his work after Sam left.
She was by Ethan's side before, listening to Ethan talking about various things with Mr. Senator, and also related to the company's affairs. She wondered if Ethan wanted to arrange herself to work in this company? She didn't feel dissatisfied with this. Leaving aside the treatment and other things, being able to directly talk to the senators of Congress was not something that anyone could do.
What's more, according to Ethan, this company will be opened in Los Angeles. If she works here, she doesn't even have to be too far away from home.
The disadvantage is that you can't experience the magical space adventure, which is a pity for a young man who has not yet graduated from high school.
She just wanted to make sure how Ethan planned to arrange herself, but she didn't expect Sam to never propose to leave, which made her embarrassed to ask.
As soon as Sam opened his mouth, he would know that Ethan had given her a job, and she didn't know how to explain it.
What should I say? Just say that I and Ethan recommended themselves, but this powerful alien (god) immediately agreed and gave me a job as an assistant?
She didn't think Sam would believe it.
I just froze here because I didn't know how to say it.
After hesitating for a while, Sam finally 'sorted out his language' and asked what he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"I want to ask, is the company you plan to open in Los Angeles recruiting people?"
Ethan was also wondering what was Sam trying to do if he didn't leave? Didn't expect to come here for work? Is the employment situation in the United States already so bad?
"Didn't you even graduate from high school? Are you so anxious to find a job?"
He remembered that Sam not only went to college, but also went to an Ivy League school. Although he didn't know which one he went to, any Ivy League school was a prestigious school, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get in; poor people couldn't get in either. The annual tuition fee starts from 40,000.
It's a pity that after graduation, the aura of graduates from prestigious schools was useless. In the end, relying on the relationship of his girlfriend's boss, he entered the mailroom of a company and started from the lowest level.
From this point of view, Sam is very prescient. If he can lock himself in a job early, then he won't have to worry about finding a job after graduating from university.
"Uh, because I think your company definitely needs someone who is familiar with the 'insider situation', and I think I'm a good fit."
From this point of view, Sam is indeed very suitable. Ethan was not very interested in this proposal at first, but he suddenly thought of something, and felt that it would not be a bad idea to recruit Sam.
He was going to poach Dylan Gould under his command, and let this "successful person" with rich social experience help him handle the "business" of this world, but Dylan has no loyalty at all. At that time, the ghost knows what he will do.
He has to be busy everywhere and can't keep staring at the world.
In addition, it is not convenient to 'record' a fixed time, and then every time you come here, you will be stuck at a very close time point. In that case, the world will not develop, which is not in line with your original intention of cultivating it as a logistics base.
He doesn't need the kind of logistics world that can replenish some simple supplies when necessary, and just find a world to go to for simple supplies;
He hopes to establish a complete logistics support, including ship maintenance and even renovation. If the situation permits, it is best to build a base of his own. It is the kind that if one day is beaten half to death, he can hide there and recover with peace of mind. place.
Ethan considered building a large space station or a moon base, perhaps cooperating with Transformers, and absorbing the technical knowledge of the Autobots.
Even if necessary, they can offer to help the Transformers build a new home. Maybe the Dyson ball that Tony has been thinking about can be tested by the Transformers first.
Even though the technology in their hands has various flaws, the advantage that Transformers can survive in space allows them to save a lot of trouble in the construction of this artificial celestial body, such as various maintenance of gravity, atmospheric pressure, etc. , temperature and other conditions have a higher fault tolerance rate.
It is with this kind of long-term planning that he needs a reliable person to be his spokesperson.
Dylan Gould's ability is sufficient, but his character is worrying. If this guy is bought by Smith and other politicians, Ethan will not be surprised at all;
Sam's ability is average, but his character is not bad. Maybe he can spy on Dylan.
Grinning, Ethan suddenly felt that he had turned himself into it. At first, he didn't think that he would have too much involvement with the hero of the first three stories, so he didn't deliberately approach the hero and become good friends with him. friends or something.
Now that the status and status of the two parties are very different, it seems problematic to make friends again.
Fortunately, his various ideas are still in the plan, and the arrangement of this world is a temporary idea. It is best if he succeeds, and there is no loss if he fails. In this case, he can handle it as he likes.
He simply agreed to Sam's request and allowed him to work in his company during the holidays. If he performed well and still wanted to join this company after graduating from university, then Ethan would welcome him very much.
Sam didn't think too much about it. He just felt happy that he had found a job. He didn't think about adding a way out for himself after graduating from college. He just thought that working in a company run by aliens very cool.
As for what to do specifically, can you do it yourself? He hasn't thought about it yet.
Mikaela thought about it, she was very worried that she would not be able to fulfill Ethan's request. After all, she had low education and no work experience. She only knew a lot about cars. Besides, she didn't even know what an assistant should do.
But today seemed inappropriate to ask. When she and Sam saw Ethan again the next day, she finally knew what the assistant was for.
The so-called assistant is actually the little brother who runs errands. Ethan will do what Ethan asks her to do, and she can't have any dissatisfaction.
Originally, with Ethan's current status in this world, there were not so many things for Mikaela to do, but since Kevin Smith submitted the report at a fast speed, the person in the White House had no idea about Ethan's status and proposals. He attached great importance to it, and in almost half a day, the company of Ethan was delivered to Ethan himself.
He didn't have to do anything to own an office building in Los Angeles.
Accompanied by another fat senator named Anderson, Ethan carefully visited his stronghold in this world.
This office building is some distance away from the center of the city, but it is not so remote that there are no people there. The surrounding area can be considered bustling and lively during the day, but it is a little quieter at night, unlike the city center that never sleeps.
Ethan also found that there were several buildings around this building. He reckoned that these buildings had already been taken by the government, and they should be used for 'protection' and monitoring himself.
"What does Mr. Ethan think of this place?"
"very good!"
Then he declined all kinds of 'experienced' staff sent by the other party, but then he found that after rejecting these people, his shell company was really just a shell, except for himself as the boss, all his subordinates Just Michaela the assistant and Sam the temp and Tony the idler.
This was so embarrassing, Ethan immediately ran to arrest Dylan, and asked this social elite to help him build the basic framework.
