Chapter 66 Promotional Video Planning (Subscribe Please!!)
Annie's feelings for Kevin were somewhat puzzling to Kevin.
It's not that Kevin didn't like Annie. After all, as a man, as long as she was beautiful, he would have some affection for her no matter who she was.
Otherwise, Kevin would not have agreed to become a screen couple with Annie, let alone accept Annie's "reverse push".
But to say that he liked her to the point of wanting her to be his girlfriend, Kevin felt that it was still a little short of feeling.
But now, he had slept with her, and then turned around and kicked her out and said "I don't like you".
Kevin felt that he couldn't do such a scumbag thing.
If it really doesn't work, he can get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, Kevin thought.
Feelings are not something that can be achieved overnight, and they will be cultivated slowly over time.
He went downstairs to buy a new set of clothes for Xingguang, and also went to the lingerie store to buy new underwear for Annie.
It was the first time in his life that Kevin went into a women's lingerie store alone to buy underwear, and he was really embarrassed.
Although everyone can probably guess that Kevin is buying women's underwear for his girlfriend when seeing a man buying women's underwear, perhaps it is a psychological effect, Kevin still feels that the eyes of passers-by looking at him are not right.
Fortunately, he wore glasses and a hat to disguise himself.
Otherwise, if people knew that Shenhai went in and out of the women's underwear store alone, and some strange rumors spread, Kevin's star career would probably be over!
"Blue stripes? So this is your taste?"
After returning home, he gave the underwear he bought to Annie, who laughed and complained.
Kevin blushed a little:
"No, this is recommended to me by the clerk, I don't know anything."
"Yeah, I understand."
"I really don't..."
"Which do you like, black silk or flesh silk?"
"Black silk! Uh..."
Kevin almost blurted it out, and when he saw Annie's teasing expression, Kevin knew that he was fooled.
XP exposed!
Hearing Kevin's answer without hesitation, Annie laughed happily.
She stopped teasing Kevin, picked up the two pairs of socks Kevin bought for her, took the black one in her hand, and threw the flesh-colored one aside, and put on her clothes in front of Kevin.
Kevin stared at her for a while, feeling that there was a tendency to move somewhere, took a deep breath and looked away, and asked again:
"Are you sure you are okay?"
When she knew about the No. 5 compound, when her faith was shattered, Annie's performance was extremely bad.
Kevin didn't think Annie could get out of this in such a short time, she needed more time to think calmly.
"Well... when you went out, I thought about it a little bit, anyway, there is no worse situation than this, right?"
After putting on her clothes, Annie came to sit next to Kevin:
"Anyway, I am in this company. I think since there is no goal, it is better to live according to their arrangements."
Annie may really think so, so she changed her mind and went to participate in today's expo.
Ignore the No. 5 compound, and no longer dream of being a hero. I stay in the Seven Team and enjoy the benefits and treatment of the Seven Team.
Do the work when I encounter it, and don't care about anything after get off work.
Anne seems to have become the second Maeve.
Before this, Kevin actually wanted Anne to do this all the time. Isn't it good to make money honestly? Why must I go against the Water Group?
But when Anne really planned to give up everything, Kevin felt uncomfortable.
"Annie..." After thinking about it, Kevin held Anne's hand: "What I want to say is... Don't give up on yourself at any time."
"Are you comforting me?"
"Uh..."
"Thank you, but we should leave."
Anne laughed. Kevin couldn't tell the meaning of her smile, but it didn't look fake.
She held Kevin's hand in reverse, squeezed it a little harder, and then let it go.
Feeling the warmth from Anne's hand, Kevin didn't say anything else.
In any case, Anne doesn't look very sad now, although there must be something in her heart that she hasn't said.
But Kevin believes that time will slowly smooth everything out.
...
What is a little different from what Kevin thought is that before he and Anne arrived at the Expo, Madeline called to let him go.
Originally, Kevin also had his own activities at the Expo, but Madeline didn't seem to want Kevin to participate in the activities.
I don't know what happened.
An accident happened halfway, and Kevin had to let Anne go to the scene alone.
But Anne was very considerate and didn't blame Kevin. After asking Kevin for a kiss to make her feel at ease, she separated from Kevin and went to the scene alone.
Kevin rushed to Madeline's office.
"Boss, you called me?"
After entering the office, Kevin saw Madeline sitting in the office taking care of her children.
That was Madeline's child born through artificial insemination. There was no father, only Madeline as a mother, and his name was Teddy.
Of course, the above information all came from the original cognition of the deep sea and the conclusion Kevin drew from the plot.
No one knows the truth at present.
Anyway, Kevin has never seen the father of this child.
Madeline gently patted the body of baby Teddy to let him fall into a deep sleep. Seeing Kevin coming over, she turned on the TV and played the video of this afternoon.
"See what your captain did when you were away."
Madeline said, choosing to play the video.
Kevin looked at the TV, which was playing the speech of the motherland at the expo in the afternoon.
He regarded himself as a person chosen by God, and felt that as the son of God, what he did was to save the world, not to listen to the orders of those high officials.
BALABALA...
Anyway, it was this kind of words.
Kevin knew that this was inconsistent with the current soft propaganda strategy of the Water Group, but the fans and church believers of Homelander liked to hear this.
Kevin watched the live video carefully, and Madeline said softly:
"Our current strategy is to persuade members of Congress to agree to superheroes to enter the National Defense, and his tough attitude will not work, absolutely not."
She turned to look at Kevin:
"Mr. Edgar wrote a speech for you, but one of you did not speak according to the script, and the other was absent. To be honest, Mr. Edgar was very disappointed."
"I thought I was just a foil, and even if I was, I couldn't convince the captain to change his mind."
Kevin defended himself.
He didn't know that his stay at the venue had such an important role. Besides, Homelander was such a stubborn guy. Even if Kevin really stayed there, could he persuade him not to give that speech?
Impossible.
"But you can save the damage he caused. You can use a softer attitude to win over those unsteady congressmen."
Madeline walked towards Kevin and told him about Kevin's current role.
After Edgar talked to Kevin that day, Kevin's status did change in an extraordinary way.
It was not a change in position, but a change in some other things.
Kevin has more rights and is being trained by the group to become a member of the Seven who can compete with the Homelanders.
If the Homelanders are too strong, Kevin needs to be gentle and friendly.
If the Homelanders stand on the opposite side of the congressmen, Kevin needs to stand on the side of the congressmen and win allies for the Seven and the Vought Group.
As for the reason why Kevin is so valued now...
"Do you know, Shenhai, there are actually many people in Congress who are your 'fans', because there are many people on the plane you saved who have connections with some congressmen. You need to play to your strengths, even if it means confronting your captain."
Madeline is very good at inducing.
Madeline is very skilled at saying one thing in front of her and another behind her back.
Kevin didn't know what Madeline said to her countrymen, but it certainly wasn't what she said to Kevin now.
But Kevin finally understood why the company suddenly cared about him.
Not all of the people on Flight 37 were ordinary people.
It's better to say that most of the people who can take a transoceanic flight are not ordinary.
Among them are doctors, company bosses, state officials, and even relatives of some members of Congress.
So it's not difficult to understand that some of them can get in touch with Congress.
These are Kevin's current "connections".
He is no longer the Deep Sea he used to be. The "energy" he possesses is worth cultivating by the group.
Kevin thought silently. After Madeline finished speaking, she didn't seem to intend to hear Kevin's answer immediately.
She turned around and switched the video to the live broadcast, which happened to be the speech of Starlight Anne.
Fortunately, Xingguang did not make a rebellious speech like in the original book.
She performed very well and read the script given by the company, ending this not-so-perfect expo.
Madeline was relieved when she saw this:
"It seems that your girlfriend is quite obedient."
After she turned off the TV, she sat back in her office chair with her child in her arms, and suddenly said to Kevin:
"Let's leave it at that for today. I think you haven't forgotten that the Seven will have a promotional video to shoot in a few days."
"Well, "Superheroes in America", I remember that's the name?"
"Yes, the original personal chapter set for you was to go to the beach to appeal to everyone to pay attention to environmental protection... but Mr. Edgar has a different opinion on this."
Madeline said, taking out a new folder from the table and handing it to Shenhai.
It was the shooting script for the new promotional video.
Kevin took it and said jokingly:
"So the location of my shooting has changed?"
"Of course, and I think you will like the new shooting location."
"Where is it?"
Kevin asked in confusion.
Madeline leaned back on the seat with the child in her arms and said with a smile:
"Your alma mater."
"Godokin University."
She said so.
