Chapter 1017: Sorry for Being Late (4700 Words, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket! Please Give Me a Recommendation Ticket! Almost 100,000 Recommendations)

"How have you been lately?"

Natasha put her arm around his, and the two of them walked forward, whispering to each other. Flashes would occasionally light up around them, capturing the two of them in one photo after another. Kai and Natasha were both very calm about it, and this was considered a small scene. Recently, New York has almost become a city of parties. According to incomplete statistics from the media, in the first ten days of this month, more than 300 charity receptions have been held throughout New York City.

An average of 30 a day... Although these charity parties are large and small, this has also caused the city's celebrities to become very busy, rushing to banquets all day long.

At this juncture, of course, it's not that no one criticized New York's approach, but it can't stop others from waving the banner of charity. Three hundred charity receptions have raised a total of more than $1 billion in donations! Isn't this more practical than those moralists who stand on the moral high ground and despise New Yorkers for having fun?

We are not having fun, we are doing practical things!

"It's OK. I'm just a little tired." Natasha said a little weakly, but when she saw the camera lens pointed at her, her face changed immediately, and she looked energetic. Kai was shocked to see her change her face three times in this short time.

This skill is simply amazing.

As a senior executive of Stark Group, Natasha naturally has no shortage of invitations to this type of cocktail party, and she is also in charge of the public relations department, so she has to attend many times. So now even if she accompanies Kai to attend the cocktail party, she still can't get interested, and she has already become a little aesthetically fatigued.

Of course, she didn't really do nothing recently. She is still tirelessly investigating that Riven. Unfortunately, nothing was gained!

This is very abnormal!

No matter what, a person will always leave traces in the world. But that Riven, there is no trace at all.

This makes Natasha feel that this woman is more and more suspicious.

If it was just a dispute of will before, now the nature has changed.

Natasha has always had an illusion that Riven is familiar. But she couldn't remember where this familiar feeling came from. It wasn't until she had investigated for so long and found nothing that she remembered where this familiar feeling came from.

Red House.

The Red House, a secret organization affiliated with the former Soviet Union, was responsible for training female agents, also known as "Black Widows". This organization collected many war orphans, and Natasha was one of them. The "Red House" would teach them etiquette, culture, dance and other skills from an early age. Of course, the use of firearms and close combat skills required by spies were also indispensable. The learning process was very difficult. The "Red House" completely domesticated them as killing machines, and there was no care that ordinary people needed.

Women who walked out of there had no past...

Including Natasha, she also had no past.

Her family and memories were destroyed in the flames of Stalingrad during World War II. It was also from then on that her future was changed.

She was sent to the Red House for training.

Natasha was not willing to recall that memory.

She was trained as an agent by agents in the Red House. After the transformation of her body by the former Soviet government, her aging speed was greatly slowed down, and her immune system and ability to resist blows were enhanced. In addition to her own years of physical and mental training, she has become a deadly poisonous spider "Black Widow".

At the same time, she is also the only Black Widow in her class.

The Red House's training of students is extremely cruel. They first let all the young girls who were trained live together, concentrate on training, and focus on training their mutual cooperation ability, so that they can become friends and relatives. But when graduation is approaching, the Red House throws these girls into the wilderness and limits them to return within two weeks, but gives them only enough supplies for one person to survive...

Natasha successfully survived the graduation ceremony and became the only "Black Widow" of that class. This is also the purpose of the "Red House". They want to completely destroy people's three views and make people become real killing tools!

This is the origin of the Black Widow. Only one student in each class of the "Red House" will graduate and become an inhumane "Black Widow"!

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Natasha launched a rebellion... destroyed the Red House, and even killed the whole family of Drekov, the leader of the Red House at that time! She personally set fire to Drekov's daughter and wife!

She watched the little girl being engulfed by flames.

Then she came to the United States and joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

She thought that the Red House had been destroyed by herself, and the Red House would never appear in her life again.

But she didn't expect to meet Raven!

The feeling that the woman gave her... was very familiar! Just like the "colleague" who got along with her in the Red House at the beginning!

This made Natasha instantly have the intention to kill Raven!

The remaining poison of the Red House must not be allowed to harm the world!

But the problem is that Raven is not an ordinary person.

She is Kai's "sister"!

This is a bit tricky.

Is it possible to kill his sister in front of Kai?

Although this sister is problematic.

So recently, Natasha has been struggling with how to explain this to Kai, and at the same time, she also needs to know clearly what the relationship between Kai and this sister is?

Could they really be siblings?

Impossible!

Natasha knew that Kai did have two brothers by blood, but they were not familiar with each other and did not interact much.

Could it be another illegitimate child?

The two walked across the red carpet and entered the venue.

This is a more formal private charity fundraiser. But the scale is a bit large. Not only will the mayor of New York attend, but also the senior executives of Stark Group and Wayne Group will participate, and even Kai and Tony Stark will attend. So the specifications are a bit too high.

In this way, it also attracted a lot of attention.

It is also this attention that makes more people flock to this charity gala.

As a result, the participants are basically big and small figures in the entertainment industry, including singers, movie stars, philanthropists, critics, producers, etc. Even some small stars and Internet celebrities are trying their best to mix in!

The reporters shooting around are basically miserable social animals who are ordered to take pictures. They have to squat outside the venue in the cold wind at night, wait for people to enter, and then go home to rush out rainbow fart articles to publish tomorrow to promote their bosses and friendly stars. This kind of miserable treatment, most netizens who read those reports and scolded the editor for being stupid, will not think about it.

Fortunately, Kai's timely appearance is considered a hot spot.

Kai has been very popular recently. He participated in three major crises.

Although people thought that Batman was the key to one of the three major crises, and Godzilla was the key to the other two crises. He was just a supporting role with more scenes. But it can barely be regarded as a hot spot, which makes those working people a little more excited.

What? There are so many stars. Isn't it enough?

Ha, the pursuit of stars in the United States is obviously much weaker now. People prefer to pursue those supernatural phenomena and strange superheroes.

This has even led to a significant decline in the attention of many stars.

However, this does not affect the competition among many female stars. High-cut deep V, side-exposed back-exposed, low top and short bottom are all basic elements, and you can see a good view at any time.

After all... this is the ultimate weapon for the page, who can resist the female stars selling their bodies?

Anyway, if there are a few magazines in front of Kai, those magazines selling body will also attract his attention at the first time.

Of course, Kai looks at them with pure appreciation. As the saying goes, the biggest temptation for women is when they are wearing clothes, because there is a sense of anticipation to uncover the mystery. On the contrary, being naked is not interesting. People, don’t they have that thing? Who can grow flowers?

Kai has no interest in socializing, although many people want to chat with this superhero at the beginning, even if it’s just taking pictures, so that he can brag or fool people in the future.

But people who are familiar with Kai know that he doesn’t like taking pictures.

He doesn’t like taking pictures with people even more.

So after Kai put on a gesture of keeping strangers out, most people present knew what was good for him and stopped bothering him. No matter what, those who can enter this occasion are people with some status and will not do things that deliberately offend others. Besides, being annoying has its benefits. If you really offend Kai, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. It’s completely unnecessary to offend Kai for that little bit of profit.

On the contrary, Natasha is much busier.

As the head of the public relations department of Stark Group, her image outside not only represents herself, but also represents the entire Stark. Even if she is not willing, she needs to make a corresponding gesture.

The recent generous donations from Stark Group and Wayne Group have made the two major consortiums a hot commodity.

Everyone knows that the two major consortiums are rich.

But now they know that the two major consortiums are also willing to spend money.

Many people saw that the two major consortiums could actually donate so much money, and naturally they would think, since you are so rich and can throw out billions without blinking an eye, it’s okay to give me some, right?

So many people set their sights on the two major groups.

Naturally, Natasha became a popular figure.

Kai just stayed in the corner, holding a glass of ice water, aimlessly watching those people of all kinds performing the world there.

Although Kai doesn’t participate in this kind of circle, he also knows what these circles are like. After all, he has been in Los Angeles. Let’s put it this way, in that broken place of Hollywood, even the dogs of those stars may not be clean.

This is not Kai's prejudice, but that circle is as dirty as it can be.

When Kai was in Los Angeles, he saw a lot of information that was not convenient to be made public.

Many of the information there did not even need to be polished before being published as pornographic articles, and the relationships between those people were very chaotic.

So although Kai appreciated it, he did not dare to drive the bus.

"Kai!" Just as Kai was waiting for the mayor and Stark to come so that he could show up and then leave, he did not expect to meet an acquaintance.

Charlize Theron and Harley Quinn!

Kai was stunned. He hadn't seen them for a while. Kai was still very happy to meet good friends here. At least Kai knew that Charlize was a self-disciplined person. Of course, this was relative. After all, living in such a circle, there would always be some scumbags.

Kai could not ask for more. Who in this world would not do one or two bad things?

If he really wanted to be a clean-minded person, Kai would not have any friends.

The people around quickly noticed the situation here. In this kind of cocktail party, charity is not so important. Before the cocktail party starts, everyone already knows who will donate how much money. Those who really come to this kind of cocktail party are not here to donate. If they really want to donate, they can donate online. There is no need to go through so much trouble to come here. What everyone values ​​is the social atmosphere here and the charm of the circle!

So most people who come here have their own social goals, such as meeting a few people who can help their careers, or simply expanding their network of contacts.

In this case, listening to all directions and keeping an eye on all directions become basic qualities.

As a first-line actress in Hollywood, although she is a little old. Well, thirty-something is indeed a big age for a female star. Many female stars are popular but disappear after the age of thirty. It is rare to see a female star like Salize Theron who entered the industry at the age of nineteen and has been in a prosperous state until now.

You should know that actresses of this age are the most embarrassing. Playing a little girl, the age is there. It is a bit embarrassing to pretend to be young. It is absolutely a small probability that a grandmother in her fifties or sixties can play a sixteen-year-old girl in the entertainment industry... Grandma Liu is awesome!

And men's aesthetics have always been very specific, they like young, beautiful and good-looking girls.

Thirty-somethings approaching forty can basically only play some mother-level roles, but these roles are not mainstream roles. It is difficult to stand out.

It is very rare for Charlize Theron to still enjoy the treatment of a top star at this age.

But it has basically reached the top. She will either develop in the direction of an artist, such as making art films specifically for awards, and playing some important supporting roles in some big productions to maintain her popularity, and finally become an industry benchmark, and then wait to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Or get married and become a rich wife. This is the favorite way out for many female stars. After all, you don’t have to be so tired and you can enjoy it to the fullest. It is definitely a good way out. At most, it is easy to divorce, but divorce is not that bad. After all, you can get a lot of property after a divorce, which is not a loss. When you get old, you can just keep a young man and live a happy life.

Charlize Theron is facing such an embarrassment.

However, judging from her recent movements, it seems that she is planning to move towards the direction of an artist.

But when seeing her and Kai talking happily, many people have an idea in their hearts... Charlize Theron is going to live again.

At this stage, Hollywood and the mainland entertainment industry are actually no different. Traffic is king, but it's not so naked.

Charlize Theron once had a scandal with Kai, but at that time Kai's attention was very low. He was just a small policeman in Los Angeles, and he couldn't attract much attention no matter what. But it's different now.

Because the two haven't been in the same frame for a long time, everyone has gradually forgotten about it.

But now it seems that the original scandal was not groundless.

Then things are different.

It's not that Charlize Theron herself can't think of it, and her agency will not let go of this hot spot.

Those agencies are simply too familiar with gossip hype.

This kind of hype is the most economical and affordable hype. Anyway, it's just a picture at the beginning, and then it's all up to the editor. The key is that this kind of hype has been tried and tested, and gossip is loved by all mankind.

As long as the title is explosive enough, there is no need to worry about no one watching it.

In this way, Charlize Theron's attention will naturally go to a higher level. With such attention, it will be much easier to take on some big productions next.

She has acting skills. After all, she has to be a performing artist. She has good looks. Although many European and American women in their thirties are not good-looking, Charlize Theron's looks are really good. She doesn't look old at all.

Now add the attention bonus.

Why don't those big productions invite her?

Fresh meat does have its advantages, but which director doesn't like this old gun who is outstanding in all aspects? High attention plus the fan effect can bring more attention to the film. How much publicity fee is needed to achieve this publicity effect?

Look at those big productions. Which one's publicity fee is not astronomical? Isn't it for that little attention?

"Harley, don't you work in New York? Why can't I see you in New York?" After chatting with Charlize Theron for a few words, Kai turned the topic to Harley. Harley was transferred to a psychiatric research institute in New York. But later Kai hardly heard from her.

"I changed my job a long time ago and now I work in a government department."

"Government department?" Kai looked at Harley curiously. What department needs a psychiatrist?
