Chapter 82 Appointment of Vice President

Late at night, Kevin, lying in bed, was stunned by the four skill points he had collected.

After returning from the CIA, Kevin found that he had gained another skill point.

The skill points required for the job change have been collected. Next, he only needs to agree to change jobs immediately.

But... Kevin doesn't know how long it will take to change jobs.

He is about to become the vice president of the British management department of the Water Group. There are still many things he needs to deal with. If he leaves for too long at this time, everything he has now may disappear.

It took so much effort to get to this point, Kevin doesn't want to give up.

But the improvement of strength is crucial. No matter what Kevin wants to do, he must have strength to support it.

For example, today's tit-for-tat with the motherland, Kevin's level 5 physique is the confidence that he dares to talk to the motherland.

Without the level 5 physique, Kevin would not be so brave to face the motherland, and even his heartbeat speed did not increase.

"Strength... well, strength..."

Kevin opened the skill tree and threw all the skill points into the job transfer column.

Looking at the 'yes' and 'no' above, Kevin clicked 'no' again.

"No, I have to wait a little longer, at least until the position is confirmed tomorrow."

After hesitating for a long time, Kevin decided to put the job transfer on hold.

Anyway, I have waited for so long, so it doesn't matter if I wait for one or two days.

After I stabilize my position, I can find an excuse to take a two-day vacation and get the job transfer done.

I hope the task time required for the job transfer will not be too long.

"What are you thinking about? So absent-minded?"

While Kevin was thinking, Annie, who had come back from the bathroom after taking a shower, sat next to Kevin in a plain shirt and asked.

It was already late at night, and the two had done what they should do. Annie would go back to accompany Kimiko later, so the two of them were getting along peacefully now.

Coming back to his senses, Kevin looked at Annie beside him.

This girl who has been adhering to the heroic code from beginning to end in the original book has now vaguely looked like Maeve.

Compromising with Walter and doing things according to Walter's arrangements, Anne is gradually becoming the next Maeve.

But Kevin doesn't want Anne to become like that.

The Starlight in the original book who never gives up no matter what she encounters is the real Anne.

So after thinking about it, Kevin pulled Anne into his arms and answered her previous question:

"I'm thinking, after I take over Madeline's position tomorrow, should I let you accompany me every day, or let you do what you like?"

"?"

Kevin's words contain a lot of information. Anne was stunned for a long time before she jumped up with her eyes wide open and asked:

"You are going to become the vice president of the Walter Group!?"

"To be precise, the vice president of the hero management department..."

"Wait, wait, when did this happen?! Why don't we know about it?"

Annie was shocked.

During this period, Kevin looked no different from usual. He made documentaries when he should make documentaries and movies when he should make movies.

He appeared at the funeral and maintained a CP with Annie.

He would occasionally slack off at work.

He was completely normal, so how could he suddenly become the vice president of the Water Group?

Annie couldn't figure it out.

"Only a few people know about this at present, but if nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Edgar will announce it tomorrow."

Kevin embraced Annie again and asked:

"Let's discuss the previous question now. Do you still want to be a hero? If you do, I can let you do what you want."

Reluctantly accepting the fact that Kevin suddenly got promoted, Annie, who was lying in Kevin's arms, thought for a long time before saying blankly:

"I... I don't know..."

"Becoming a hero, isn't it your dream all along?"

"That was before, I told you, Kevin, my dream... Actually, it has always been given to me by my mother, and it is not my dream at all..."

Annie said softly.

It was because of the discovery of Compound No. 5 and knowing how her mother had been cultivating her that Annie felt that the dream of becoming a superhero was imposed on her by her mother.

That was why Annie accepted the arrangement of the Water Group.

But Kevin didn't care.

He turned Annie's head with his hand, looked at him, and said seriously:

"Forget about your mother now. Ask yourself, do you want to continue saving people? Do you want to be a hero?"

"I..."

"Yes, or no!"

"...Yes!"

Without giving Annie time to think, Annie gave the answer without hesitation.

When she gave the answer, Annie was stunned again, and Kevin smiled and stroked her head:

"Isn't that enough?"

In the end, Annie was just being hypocritical. She felt that her mother had lied to her and that her dream was not real.

But in fact, what she really wanted to do had long been buried in her heart. She only needed to think a little bit and she could come up with the answer.

Kevin looked at Annie with a smile on his face.

Annie was a little unwilling to be tricked by Kevin. She hit Kevin's chest in dissatisfaction and said:

"Okay, okay, I still want to be a hero, okay? What about you? What do you think? Why do you suddenly want to become a vice president? Don't you want to be a hero?"

"My dream has always been not to be a hero."

"What is your dream?"

"My dream... is to eat, drink and have fun all my life until I die."

Kevin lay lazily on the bed and expressed his unambitious thoughts.

Annie blinked and asked:

"Don't you realize this dream now?"

"No, because there are still many people who prevent me from realizing this dream."

Kevin answered slowly.

The Water Group, the Homelanders, and even various superhumans that may appear in the future, they may all become enemies that stand in the way of Kevin's "dream".

So Kevin's dream is the easiest to achieve, but also the most difficult to achieve.

It is precisely because he wants to get what he wants quickly that Kevin will work hard to climb to a higher position in the Water Group and improve his strength as soon as possible.

Now Kevin's short-term goal has been achieved halfway.

The position of vice president is just around the corner, and his own strength... is about to be improved by leaps and bounds.

Talking to Annie about life and dreams, the result is that before Annie left, Kevin and her "fought" again.

There is no way, Kevin really has tasted the marrow and knows the taste.

It is said that men are creatures of the lower body. Kevin didn't have a very obvious feeling about this before, but now that he has really come into contact with women, Kevin knows that this sentence is really true.

He really couldn't help it when he was alone with Annie.

...

No words all night.

The next morning, in the meeting room of the seven-member team, all the members gathered together again.

But it was not Homelander who called everyone together this time, but Edgar, who had always been the behind-the-scenes boss of the company and rarely appeared in front of the seven-man team.

He was going to announce something in front of everyone today.

A very important thing.

About the selection of the vice president of the British management department of the Water Group.

At the beginning of the meeting, Homelander's expression was extremely ugly.

Homelander stared at Kevin, who was sitting in a corner on one side, and his eyes looked like he wanted to eat Kevin alive.

Kevin smiled and chatted with Xingguang, and even when he saw Homelander's eyes, he smiled in response, without any worry or fear.

But the more this happened, the angrier Homelander became.

Because he had already received confirmation from Edgar that Shenhai was the next vice president of the British management department.

When he thought that the guy he looked down on before was now standing on his head to manage him, Homelander was angry and wanted to tear the guy in front of him to pieces!

But unfortunately Homelander couldn't do that.

He couldn't take action against the group's top management based on his mood, at least not now.

Everyone can feel the low pressure emitted by Homelander, especially those who know Homelander best, such as Engine and Maeve, who dare not speak loudly.

Therefore, Kevin, who can still chat with Annie happily, becomes particularly conspicuous.

Seeing that Homelander's accumulated anger is getting more and more, and the moment when it is about to explode, Edgar walks in from outside at the right time.

"Oh? So everyone is here, that's perfect."

Edgar took the chair opposite Homelander, sat down casually, and looked at the seven people in the team:

"Then let's get straight to the point, about the appointment of the head of the British management department."

Except for Homelander, no one else has any objection to the topic raised by Edgar.

Madeline is dead, and the British management department is now without a helmsman. It does need a new vice president to manage these superheroes.

But many people don't understand why they are told this.

After all, in addition to superheroes, there are only assistant roles like Ashley who don't have much power.

If Edgar really wants to appoint someone, shouldn't he just select the candidate and then publish the appointment letter on the group's official website?

Maeve and Locomotive of the Seven were confused, and Ashley and others didn't quite understand either.

Until Edgar announced the appointment:

"From today, Mr. Kevin Moskowitz will serve as the vice president of the British management department. I think you should have no objection, right?"

Kevin Moskowitz?

When this name was said, some people who were not familiar with Kevin's name looked confused.

Until Kevin stood up and thanked Edgar:

"Thank you, Mr. Edgar, I will continue to work hard in the future."

Everyone then remembered that Kevin was Shen Hai's real name, which was his real name that he had never used in public.

After knowing who Edgar was talking about, everyone was deeply shocked.

They were shocked that Shen Hai was the candidate for the vice president, and that he got this position without any noise.

However, although they were shocked, most people had no opinion on it.

This was Edgar's personal appointment, the personal appointment of the group's boss, what opinions could they, the workers, have?

Except for Homelander.

"I don't agree!!!"

Homelander stood up, his expression did not change, but his eyes were full of angry flames, "I don't agree! I will never allow such a guy to stand over my head and order me!"

Homelander had been patient for a long time, for a whole day and night.

Now when Edgar personally announced the appointment of Kevin, Homelander could no longer bear it. He thought about it for a night and could not accept such a thing at all.

Anyone can sit in the position of vice president, but Shen Hai can't!

Absolutely not!
