Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1497: 1514: Too Big a Step, Pit (2 more)

Luke didn't use any superpowers against Aunt Annie.

The mood of the other party is stable, no entanglement, excited by a group of middle-aged men on Adrian's side.

So, this has nothing to do with Annie, the worker —— after all, he and her big boss actually know each other pretty well.

Tony from Disaster Control said a few words that Pepper had created to implement the policy, which was a department that wiped superheroes' asses.

It's only fair that this department doesn't recruit people to curse. If Aunt Annie's abilities are almost there, then nothing can be done.

Now is the opportunity for Luke to look at the competencies and personalities of the person in charge as well.

Sometimes good things go a long way and can't stand to end people messing around.

For example, a great deal of effort was expended in the pre-disaster period, but the personnel who delivered relief supplies in the later period were high and corrupted a little, and the huge efforts made in the previous disaster were reduced to negative numbers in minutes.

And from that contact, this Aunt Annie is pretty reliable.

Calm minds and lack of speech, but the work of the office is not vague.

In the case of Adrian, the New York authorities already had relevant clauses in the tender contract.

It is also his own practice that is so risky that he finds himself in a dilemma.

Walking out more than 200 meters, Luke pushed open a store door by the road and walked in.

Adrian stunned: “Is this a law firm? ”

He looked up and the “Jesse's Bar" sign was hanging right above him.

Luke smiled. “It's been a long time. I'll buy you a drink. Don't worry, I'll call a very professional lawyer. ”

Adrian was mute, watched Luke walk into the bar, or followed him.

What can you do without going in? The job has been lost by Annie's old lady, and she can only go back and sit in Wonderland with a bunch of old guys.

Seven or eight middle-aged men behind him had similar thoughts and quickly followed suit.

Jesse, the owner of the cleaning bar, raised her head and wanted to say it wasn't open, so she saw Luke and immediately changed her mouth: "Hey, we don't serve minors here. ”

Luke nodded with a smile: "We've all grown up. ”

He turned to the crowd and said, "If you want something to drink, I'll pay for it. ”

The group of men behind them cheered.

Without a job, at least with wine, it's a good day.

Soon, the little bar was buzzing.

A group of middle-aged men grabbed a beer and watched the football game replay on TV, where they chirped and mumbled.

Not that they had no heart, but that Luke obviously knew Adrian, and the two of them were going to talk privately, and everyone rolled aside intellectually.

Luke called Foggy, Adrian, and that's what this is all about.

The second half has just been said, and now he is talking about the first half.

It has to start with the last big earthquake in California.

That time he took his wife and daughter out to take refuge and met Luke.

After the earthquake, he thought Luke had a point, so he changed jobs two months ago and moved his home to New York.

If this were to continue, his life would be a little bit worse, not much of a problem.

However, after the assault, he felt he needed to move his home and also consider the cost of his daughter's education.

After the war in New York, he suddenly discovered an opportunity.

Official ad hoc bidding in New York has allowed many carriers to clean up post-war building garbage.

Adrian believes that entering the industry now, even if it is officially discontinued, may be able to undertake reconstruction of the earth and building materials transport work in the future.

So, he wanted to get rich, he took out his savings, and he found his brothers in California, and they put together money and loans, and he quickly set up a transportation company.

The official need to return to normal order in New York as soon as possible has greatly eased the restrictions in this regard, allowing them to enter the new company smoothly and gain access to a great deal of business.

If there had been no accident, the transport company he had set up with his brothers would have been able to repay hundreds of thousands of loans after completing the contract in hand.

At that time, more than a dozen new engineering vehicles and large machinery were the company's net assets and could make years of money.

And then everyone went from being a salaried man to being a boss.

If all goes well, it won't be hard to become a million-dollar rich man for a few years.

But —— everything is afraid of that, but.

But the Stark Group suddenly set up a disaster control department and shut the business down.

Other well-run, old-fashioned carriers lose at most an expected profit, but also get paid for doing business.

The New York authorities also have a modest, but conscientious, premature termination indemnity in the contract.

But Adrian, most of their money comes from loans, and this contract needs to be completed before it can be repaid.

Without this business, they were immediately caught in a bankruptcy crisis.

Fragmentation is not as stable as official contracts, prices are not as good, and time is needed to find it. The speed at which money is earned is a big problem.

So... Adrian sat waxed.

At this point, Foggy got a call from Luke and rushed over.

He wasn't at the firm just now, he's been running a lot of business lately.

Just listen to Adrian and he looks at Luke.

As soon as Luke looked at his expression, he nodded: "Say what you have to say, Adrians are nice. ”

Foggison sighed and turned to Adrian: "Since you're an acquaintance of Luke's, let me get this straight. ”

After a pause, he continued: “I have several friends who have also encountered this problem with you and have consulted with me specifically. Your contract is supposed to be a unified municipal contract, right? Adrian. ”

Adrian had a bad feeling and smiled bitterly: "Yes. ”

FG: "So there are no loopholes in this contract, and the city doesn't want to make a lot of money for them. But even if you want to go to court, they're the only ones who can sue. Even a victory will be months or even years from now and will not help your current situation. ”

Luke sighed in his heart.

That's what Adrian thought just now.

It was obvious that Adrian was too big a step in this matter, and when the accident happened, he caught his balls.

But a lot of times people need to fight. We can't say that this is the wrong choice, we can only say that Adrian is not very lucky.

Fogey looked ugly, silent Adrian, and gave Luke a look.

Luke and Adrian said they were sorry, excused to go to the bathroom and go with Foggy to the entrance behind the bar.

Foggy whispered, “Are you sure you want to help him? ”

Luke thought that Adrian had moved thousands of miles to New York because he had listened to himself, and that he had caught up with the high-risk New York era and been pitted by Tony's finishing touches.

If he can, he doesn't mind helping each other properly.

So he said, "If there's a way, say it. Haven't you been seeing your girlfriend lately? Not at all. ”

You fucking guessed it! Fogey stared wide.

He held his expression for a moment and coughed softly: "Don't be ridiculous. Let me tell you something, the home furniture company has recently expanded again, almost 100 people. ”
