Chapter 8: Getting Angry Can Cause Hair Loss

In the early morning, Xingguang, wearing a hero uniform, walked into the Water Building tiredly.

She seemed to have not slept well.

No, she really did not sleep well.

Since Shenhai left yesterday, Xingguang began to wander around the 99th floor of the Water Building, a floor dedicated to the Seven.

She first met Queen Maeve, the only female hero in the Seven.

Xingguang wanted to ask Queen Maeve for an autograph and told her that she liked her the most.

When she was a child, she saw Queen Maeve's feat of saving a whole school bus of students, which made her determined to become a superhero.

However... Queen Maeve did not mean to say hello to Xingguang. She seemed to have just finished work. She just said a few words to Xingguang perfunctorily, and then ignored her.

That time, Xingguang was also a little disillusioned with idols for the first time, and felt that these idols were not as great as she imagined in private.

What made Xingguang even more unacceptable was that she saw a naked transparent person in the bathroom.

Although the restroom is for both men and women, and although the invisible man must take off his clothes to use his ability, Xingguang was still very angry that he was peeping in the restroom so openly.

Xingguang wanted to teach the invisible man a lesson, but when she saw Queen Maeve coming in and was not surprised by the existence of the invisible man, she already understood that this was not the first time the invisible man did such a thing.

What's more terrifying is that the members of the Seven Team turned a blind eye to it.

At that time, Xingguang finally understood what Shenhai meant by "The Seven Team is not as great as you think."

That was not comfort, but telling a fact.

That night, Xingguang had some insomnia.

The girl who walked into the Seven Team with her dreams thought that she could fight side by side with the heroes she once admired, but she found that the heroes she once admired were not as good as she imagined.

Shenhai seemed like a social animal who ate and slacked off, Queen Maeve seemed to be a cold person who didn't care about anything, and the invisible man was even a pervert who would peek.

The three heroes that Xingguang had seen were already like this, so what about the remaining ones?

Xingguang was a little confused, and even doubted her life.

But after finally joining the Seven Team, Xingguang did not plan to give up.

It didn't matter if the heroes were different from her fantasy. She just needed to do her job well and become an excellent superhero.

Yes, just be yourself.

Thinking this way, Xingguang regained her spirit and walked into the building, and then...

When she passed by an office, she heard the angry voice of Ashley, the director of the public relations department:

"Unbelievable! I can't imagine that you did this!"

Ashley seemed very angry and yelled at someone.

Xingguang swore that she didn't want to wear a helmet, but... The door of the office was not closed tightly, and through the gap, Xingguang could see the scene inside.

In the room, Ashley was rubbing her hair with a report document. In front of her was Shenhai, who left work on time yesterday.

What happened?

Xingguang was curious and leaned over to listen.

Facing Ashley's anger, Shenhai was very calm. He even had the leisure to pour himself a cup of coffee and said:

"Calm down, Ashley, isn't the result good? The smuggled people were rescued, and New York has one less damn criminal. Although it was my fault for not notifying the company's public relations department and camera team in advance, I didn't have time to inform you at the time..."

"Ah ha? Do you think so? Then have you ever thought about what if someone filmed the scene of you killing those gangsters on the ship? What if someone edited it and posted it online?!"

"I know, so I'm not admitting my mistake, right? Uh... at most you can deduct my salary? Although I think what happened yesterday counts as overtime..."

Shenhai slumped on the sofa, talking in a salty way.

Ashley looked at Shenhai with wide eyes, as if she was meeting Shenhai for the first time, her eyes full of disbelief:

"You... how did you..."

"What's wrong with me? Is there a problem?"

Shenhai drank coffee and asked Ashley with his hands spread out.

Through the conversation between the two, Xingguang also understood what happened.

Late last night, Shenhai accidentally encountered a kidnapping crime, and then handled the crime "without authorization" without notifying the company.

The word "without authorization" was said by Ashley, and it does not represent Xingguang's original idea.

After Xingguang heard the whole story, his heroic heart, which was originally a little disappointed by yesterday's events, became active again.

Although Shenhai seemed to care about nothing, he was still doing what a superhero should do secretly.

No matter what the company said, as long as he did the right thing, wouldn't it be fine?

To be honest, if the conditions were not allowed, Xingguang would like to rush in and say to Shenhai, "You did the right thing" to encourage him.

But unfortunately, Xingguang didn't want to lower his impression in other people's minds because of the peeping incident.

While the conversation between the two people in the room was coming to an end, Xingguang quietly walked through the office door.

The conversation between the two people in the room had indeed stopped, but the reason for the stop was not Ashley's restrained anger, but Madeline called Ashley and said that she wanted Shenhai to go up.

She had something to tell Shenhai.

Ashley could only restrain her anger after her boss spoke. She said to Shenhai:

"Ms. Madeline wants to see you, you can explain to her yourself."

"No problem, I'll go up right away."

Kevin responded with a smile, put the empty disposable paper cup on the table, and gave Ashley a very "friendly" suggestion before leaving.

"By the way, Ashley, you'd better not get angry often, it will make your hair fall."

Ashley: "?"

Finally, Kevin made a joke and left the office before Ashley got angry.

After dealing with the gang members last night, Kevin took the smuggled people to the police station.

However, because Deep Sea was a superhero and had the endorsement of the Water Group, he was released from the police station not long after he stayed there, and received praise and cheers from the police in the police station.

At that time, Kevin really felt that being a superhero seemed to be a good thing.

He liked to hear others cheering for him.

But unfortunately, although what Kevin did was indeed correct, it would not be recognized by the company.

The reason was that Kevin did not inform the company in advance about what he did, and... he killed too many people.

It is actually very common for superheroes to kill people.

Homelander, Queen Maeve, and the locomotive have also killed many people in the process of preventing crime.

But the premise is that they killed people under the camera arranged by the Water Group and in the script that the Water Group had already prepared.

Yesterday, Kevin had no script and no camera. In this case, he killed a group of gang members in front of a group of smuggled people who did not understand English.

This matter can be big or small. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it, a good thing may turn into a bad thing.

What happened yesterday may also become a stain in the deep sea.

This is the real reason why Ashley was angry.

After all, she is the director of the public relations department. If something really happens, she will also be responsible.
