Chapter 221 Godokin University, the only Super-British University

A week later.

Xia Shang personally met with Bob, the Minister of Defense who came from afar.

"Welcome, Mr. Minister, to Watt Company. I heard that you are here for Ryan's business." After shaking hands, Xia Shang led Bob into the conference room.

"As expected of Walter, he is well-informed, but I came here this time not just for Ryan." Bob looked at the talented Vice President Walter in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "This should be the first time we have met. I didn’t expect President Jervis to be so young, he is really young and promising.”

"Thank you. Mr. Minister, would you like a cup of coffee?" Xia Shang came to the coffee machine and poured two cups of coffee.

"Can I refuse?"

Bob smiled and took the coffee from Xia Shang.

"It seems that Edgar thinks highly of you, otherwise he wouldn't let you negotiate with me."

Respect? Maybe, but now I should be more focused on how to get rid of myself.

Although Xia Shang thought so in his heart, he still pretended to be modest and said: "So I have always respected Mr. Edgar. If he hadn't chosen to promote me, maybe I would still be an ordinary security guard under Walter. Of course, I can It’s also a nice thing to hold the door open for Mr. Bob.”

Even if he knew Xia Shang was joking, Bob would inevitably have a smile on his face.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic." Bob put down the coffee in his hand, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"Regarding the verdict of Ryan's crime, the court will open the day after tomorrow. There are currently many opinions on Ryan's matter in the market. Some of them believe that it is all the fault of the kidnappers. They used Ryan's mother to threaten Ryan to kill him, so Ryan Although he was found not guilty, the families of the victims did not think so. After all, it was Lane who killed their wives or husbands. "

It is actually possible to be found not guilty.

Especially when Billy's confession video came out, many netizens became more inclined to the theory of innocence.

But if you think about it with your feet, you know that the US government cannot let Walter go so easily. They will definitely take this opportunity to stab Walter and chop off some pieces of meat.

"I believe the court will give the most fair judgment." Xia Shang said with a smile.

"Of course, they will strictly enforce it according to the letter of the law."

Bob put his hands on his belly and said with a smile.

As Edgar's "old friend", he had spoken to Edgar on the phone before coming to Walter, and also learned about Edgar's determination to keep Ryan, because Edgar had to consider the feelings of the people of his motherland. Had Lane been sentenced to five years or more, Homelander might have become harder to control.

"Due to the recent frequent incidents of superhuman crimes, the White House has decided to establish a brand new department, the Office of Superhuman Affairs. We hope to get the support and assistance of the Vought Group." Bob said who came this time The purpose, related to superhuman beings, absolutely cannot bypass Walter, and Walter has a large number of fanatical fans who hold votes. Once there is a quarrel, things will become very troublesome.

So he wanted to use Ryan's situation to make Walter compromise.

"Mr. Edgar mentioned to me that this is a good thing. It can effectively reduce the crime rate of superhuman beings. Walter will definitely support it. If you want my help, just ask." Xia Shang was very enthusiastic. This time Negotiations were just a formality. If there was really something important, Edgar would not leave it to him.

"In addition, there are the security contracts signed by state governments across the United States and Watt, which need to be revised. The price of students produced by your Godokin University is too high. The managers of each state believe that the security contracts invested in this every year are too high. The share is too large and has caused dissatisfaction with the local police station, so I think it would be better to reduce the price by 40%.”

The Gordokin University that Bob refers to is the first superhero university established by Walt in 1965. It is also the only university in the United States for young superheroes. The top-ranked students in the university will be admitted by Walt. Sent out to be responsible for maintaining public security in various cities.

When Xia Shang first joined Walter, he mentioned a similar plan to Edgar, and even some details were surprisingly similar.

To be honest, Edgar thought Xia Shang was playing tricks on him at the time, so he didn't have a good face from the beginning to the end. It wasn't until he confirmed that Xia Shang really didn't know about Godokin University that he took a high look at him.

As for Godokin University, Xia Shang only learned about it later, and the former Locomotive, Queen Maeve, and Shen Hai were also among the students of Godokin University. Although he didn’t know why Shen Hai ranked first in that session. , but this university does have a long history.

It's just that compared to the seven giants under the Watt Group, it seems less famous.

Moreover, Godokin University is only widely circulated among teenagers. Xia Shang vaguely remembers that in the recent Super League selection competition, there seemed to be many students from Godokin University participating, but their reputation was generally not high. There are even fewer people who can make it to the final selection.

However, due to Ryan's incident, the Youth Premier League trials were temporarily shelved.

"Sorry, Mr. Bob, this is not something I can decide. Besides, a 40% reduction would be too much." Xia Shang shook his head.

"Is 40% a lot? Maybe you, Walter, are not working hard enough. If you train a few more qualified candidates, you can easily fill the gap caused by this price."

Bob dug out several documents from his briefcase.

"I'm ready for a protracted battle with Walter this time." He took out a sandwich and smiled.

The sandwich was put into Bob's briefcase by his wife when he went out, and Bob was unaware of it.

"It seems that Mr. Edgar has a reason for throwing this tough job to me." Xia Shang teased. He didn't expect that Bob, as the Minister of Defense, would be so easy-going.

Finally, after an hour of negotiation, the two parties shook hands with satisfaction.

"Jervis, you don't act like a young man. You know, my bottom line this time is 30%. I didn't expect you to cut it in half. Edgar will be relieved to hand over Walter to you."

"Thank you."

After personally sending Bob to the car, Xia Shang was about to turn around and go back. At this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Billy hiding in the crowd. Although it was only a moment, Xia Shang dared to guarantee that the person under the peaked cap was definitely Billy.

On the other side, Billy hurried back to the car, his eyebrows wrinkled into a river. What's going on? Did Jervis discover him? Or was it just his illusion? How could an ordinary person's perception be so sharp?

Buzz buzz buzz! !

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

"Mallory, I didn't expect you to still remember us poor abandoned people. Tell me, what dirty work are you going to give us this time?"
