Chapter 159 Justine's Follow-up
In a dimly lit warehouse, many large instruments and equipment were placed. Thick black cables were dragged on the ground like several black pythons. On a makeshift metal test bench, a transparent glass culture tank stood there.
An unkempt young man with messy hair was standing in front of the dashboard doing the final adjustments.
The warehouse door opened and closed.
Justine Hammer, wearing a slim suit, was walking inside, leading a three-meter-tall little giant with horns.
At this moment, the rhino man was wearing a tailor-made black suit and brand new leather shoes. His bulging muscles supported the outline of the suit. He no longer chose to cover his rhino horn with a hat. Instead, a famous New York jewelry designer made him an exquisite and gorgeous hollow gold horn cover and put it on the long horn on his head.
Just like Justin Hammer, Justin Hammer's means of winning the hearts of his subordinates can be seen in the details.
Justine greeted Philip Barnett in a hurry, walked straight to the long glass cylindrical tank that looked like a culture tank, and took off her suit jacket without saying a word.
Inside was a black tights with short sleeves and shorts like a cycling suit, which outlined Justine's curvy figure.
The rhino man Alexi stood next to the culture tank like an iron tower, with his hands folded in front of him, his eyes calmly glancing to the other side without looking at Justine.
Philip Barnett, who was wearing a white coat, lowered his head and came to the culture tank. He did not dare to look at Justine's body, and whispered to Justine:
"Ms. Hammer, I studied the information you gave me. The success rate of super soldier serum injections..."
"You don't have to tell me, I know."
Justine looked calm. After taking off her shoes and socks, she turned around, opened the glass door of the culture tank, lay down in it, and said calmly,
"Let's get started."
"OK."
Philip Barnett gritted his teeth and agreed.
He walked to the pile of instruments and equipment next to the culture tank and started operating them.
A small glass tube filled with serum was inserted into the device next to the culture tank. As the negative pressure was released, it was slowly sucked into the needle.
Justine was fixed in the culture tank with several straps. A thick needle extended from the side and was inserted into the vein on the inside of her arm.
The blue liquid column slowly descended, and the super soldier serum was being injected into Justine's body.
"Um!"
Justine groaned and trembled all over. She was gritting her teeth and trying her best to fight the sudden pain, which spread throughout her body as the blood flowed.
Philip Barnett turned his head to look at Justine one last time, then raised his hand and pulled down the handle.
"Hiss…"
Huge high-voltage currents rush through thick cables, powering the massive device that produces the beta particles.
A dazzling white light lit up in the culture tank!
…
The light slowly disappeared. Philip Barnett dared not even breathe, staring at the culture tank nervously.
Alexi, the rhino man, stood guarding by the side with his hands behind his back. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was also very nervous in his heart.
The boss of these two people is currently lying in the incubator with his eyes closed, and his life or death is unknown.
The air remained quiet, as if it had stopped flowing at this moment.
Justine Hammer, who was lying quietly in the culture tank, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were as bright as lightning!
"Ah...thank God."
Philip Barnett patted his chest excitedly to calm his rapid breathing due to nervousness.
Alexei also breathed a sigh of relief.
Philip Barnett walked quickly to the experimental table and said:
"Ms. Hammer, let me open the seal for you..."
Before he could finish his words, "Snap!" the straps binding Justine broke apart. Justine raised her hand and pushed gently. With a teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting, the sealed lock made of alloy twisted and broke instantly. Justine pushed open the glass gate herself and walked out barefoot.
"ah..."
Philip Barnett was stunned.
Justine ignored his surprise and looked down at her body.
My figure has hardly changed. I usually work out and practice fighting techniques secretly, and there is almost no fat on my body.
But his height has increased, from 1.72 meters to about 1.78 meters now.
More changes require data from testing.
Justine was not at all excited about her success in surviving the serum injection. She looked calm as she put on her suit and said to the Rhino:
"Let's go. I have already notified the British side to hold a general meeting of shareholders. You can come with me to attend."
"Okay, boss."
…
In the next few months, Justine Hammer led Hammer Industries' mature team of legal lawyers and financial auditing teams, as well as the rhino bodyguard Alexi, and flew frequently around the world on Hammer Industries' private jet.
First, find the key decision maker, negotiate privately, use the leverage in your hand, take advantage of the other party's weaknesses, intimidate, use both soft and hard tactics, and roughly finalize the matter under the table.
Then, the company began to hold board meetings and general shareholders' meetings frequently to discuss changes in the company's decision-making level and equity structure.
Justine Hammer has been influenced by her father since she was a child, and she knows all the ins and outs of listed companies very well. She knows all about the loopholes in corporate law, contract law and international commercial law, the tricks of insider trading, and the methods of using complex equity structures to conceal the actual controllers.
Business management is what the Hammer family father and daughter are best at.
In her hand, she also had the information about Hydra given by Fu Qinghai. Hydra was an old spy organization. The information was so detailed that it even showed how many moles a certain shareholder's mistress had on her butt. With this information, it would be easy for Justine to take control of these multinational companies.
What if someone wants to cheat and wants to use violence to solve the problem?
That would be easier to handle, since the rhino man following us throughout the whole process is not just for show.
In the Marvel Animated Universe, Rhino's main problem is that he is too slow to turn when charging, so he is unable to be outdone by Spider-Man. But in terms of absolute strength, Rhino can knock the Hulk away and crash through several buildings.
The gray polymer leather armor is invulnerable to swords and guns.
With the presence of Rhino Man and herself, the recipient of super soldier serum, Justine is not afraid of any table-turning behavior.
Overturn the table? I will not only overturn the table, but also knock down your company building. Who is afraid of who?
To sum up:
a group of professional legal and financial teams can play on the desktop.
A lot of information about weaknesses and vulnerabilities that can be directly exposed can be found under the table.
A super villain Rhino + a female version of Captain America, the game can still be played even if the table is overturned.
While the remaining superheroes were still hiding in the dark, fighting guerrilla warfare and playing hide-and-seek with Captain Hydra.
In less than three months, Justine had used drastic measures, both secretly and quickly, to take over the Typhon Group, Erkana Capital Management Company, and Merovice Investment Group under her command.
Someone is quietly collecting and occupying the huge resources that once belonged to Hydra, but the two sides who are fighting fiercely to subvert the "Secret Empire" and maintain the "Secret Empire" are unaware of this.
The only thing left is the scientific research institution that Fu Qinghai is most interested in and values the most - AIM Pioneer Technologies.
Unlike the above three multinational companies, the importance of Pioneer Technologies is self-evident and well-known. It is always under the close surveillance of the US government. It is easy to rob and leave like Fu Qinghai and Ron did, but if you want to completely control Pioneer Technologies, you have to plan slowly and take it step by step.
Justine is not in a hurry. At this moment, the power and wealth she controls have expanded to a certain extent. The combined market value of the three multinational companies has far exceeded the size of Hammer Industries. In order to consolidate her control, Justine needs to carry out a certain degree of optimization and integration.
The old Hydra has been disbanded, and it is obviously not feasible to continue using the Hydra name and structure.
At present, Hammer Industries is not under his control. What's more, Hammer Industries alone is not qualified to be the superior holding and management company of these giant enterprises.
Fu Qinghai also mentioned in the message on the hard drive that Hammer Industries should not be used as the parent company of these multinational companies.
Justine finally chose to use a management agency once used by Baron Strucker - THEM, an offshore capital that looks clean and unremarkable on the surface, as the unified management organization of Hydra's huge legacy.
On a private plane from Brussels to New York, Justine Hammer, dressed exquisitely, lay on a large single sofa seat, holding a slender champagne glass in her hand, looking out the window at the golden-red sunset and the white and soft clouds.
Justine's eyes were blank, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
Alexei has always been a silent man. He just sat in his seat quietly without saying a word.
Justine's secretary and assistant watched the female boss thinking silently and did not dare to interrupt.
The cabin was silent for a moment.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The ringing of the cell phone on the desk broke the silence.
Justine picked up the phone and put it to her ear:
"Hello?"
"Ms. Hammer, our people have discovered an ancient temple in the Amazon jungle. You may be interested in what's inside."
The voice of Nathan Lemon came from the phone. He was the first person to express his loyalty to Justine Hammer.
Justine narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately ordered:
"Order the captain to change the route and head to Rio de Janeiro now."
"Okay, boss."
The female secretary quickly stood up and went to inform the captain.
…
In the dense and humid rainforest of the Amazon River Basin, Justine Hammer, dressed in a neat outdoor outfit, is following a guide and a group of bodyguards, wading through the swamp water to a dilapidated stone temple.
The pyramid-shaped building has square stones full of cracks from the years, and is covered with large vines, messy weeds and mistletoe, and lush green leaves that obscure the entire appearance of the temple.
The people who arrived before Justine and others had already taken control of the temple. They put up yellow warning lines at places that might collapse and cleared a passage for people to walk through.
Justine followed Nathan Lemon into the depths of the temple.
At the innermost part, there was an empty dark space with a stone chair that looked like a throne standing in the middle. A faint glow was shining from the pyramid's patio.
There was no one on the stone throne, neither stone statues nor skeletons.
There was only a dark red cloak quietly covering the back of the chair.
Justine looked at the cloak and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
…
In a mansion on Long Island.
Justine Hammer's small team is in a meeting.
She first instructed Philip Barnett,
"Design me a set of combat uniform that matches the color and style of this magic cloak. It needs to be a tight-fitting suit that's easy to move in, and it needs to have a fully enclosed mask. Ask my assistant for my body size data."
"Okay, boss."
Philip Barnett, who had already been won over by Justine, changed his address from "Miss Hammer" to "Boss".
Then Justine turned to Nathan Lemon and asked:
"So, are you sure this is the test my father set for me?"
Nathan Lemon nodded heavily:
"I am very sure, Boss, that this batch of antidote is being escorted by a super villain called Plant Master and may have attracted the attention of some superheroes. You only need to seize this batch of antidote to obtain the greatest legacy left to you by Mr. Hammer."
While Justine was attacking everywhere and integrating three multinational companies, Nathan Lemon was also busy. He was investigating the clues left by old Hammer in accordance with Justine's request, looking for the so-called "Hammer's legacy".
Then, Nathan Lemon found the clues that old Hammer had deliberately left behind.
It turns out that Justin Hammer, the old villain, not only used money to control the super villains under him, but he also felt that the control was not strong enough. Of course, those who could become super villains were a group of people who would go back on their words and turn against each other at any time. Old Hammer bought a batch of poisons and corresponding antidotes from a woman named "Madam Viper", and secretly poisoned the food of the super villains working for Hammer Industries, in order to control these guys.
This batch of antidotes is the greatest legacy that old Hammer left to his daughter, and he also took the opportunity to set up some tests for his daughter.
After listening to Nathan Lemon's analysis and report, Justine and Rhino looked at each other.
Tsk, I feel, that's just the way it is.
To be honest, the legacy that old Hammer left to his daughter is quite generous. In a world dominated by people with super powers, a group of super villains who obey you are far more valuable than the shares of Hammer Industries.
However, compared with the huge global assets from Hydra that Fu Qinghai left to Justine, old Hammer's move...how can I describe it?
That's it.
…
Two weeks later.
On a cool evening, the sun slowly sets.
Justine Hammer drove alone to her apartment building in the Seaport area of Brooklyn.
She parked the Pagani Zonda casually on the side of the road, picked up her handbag, closed the car door, and walked into the elevator of the apartment.
Justine pressed the familiar button for the 20th floor with her fingertips. She came out of the elevator in a luxurious apartment, threw away her handbag, kicked off her high heels, and sat down on the big sofa.
The furnishings here remain exactly the same as before Fu Qinghai left, without any change at all.
Justine, who had been injected with super soldier serum and possessed a magic cloak, quickly took control of the convoy with the help of Rhino Man and took her father's legacy into her hands.
There were some twists and turns and obstacles during this period, but to no avail.
At this point, Hammer Industries has successfully completed the transfer of power. The full text of the will was read out by a notary lawyer from the law firm, and all of the Hammer Industries shares that were managed by the family trust fund were handed over to Justine Hammer personally. The professional manager stepped down, and Ms. Justine Hammer became the new chairman and CEO of Hammer Industries.
Justine has experienced a lot and grown a lot during this period of time.
She used coercion, inducement, conspiracy, and plunder. It was her first time killing someone, and she didn't feel the slightest bit strange. She just felt a little uncomfortable when she smelled the blood. After that, she did what she had to do and soon got used to the feeling.
But after integrating three multinational giants and taking over the power of Hammer Industries, Justine suddenly felt a little tired one ordinary night.
There is a slight trace of tiredness.
There is a sense of accomplishment and pride that fills my heart, but also a little loneliness that no one shares with me.
Justine stood up shakily from the sofa, took off her coat and pants, walked into the master bedroom in her underwear, threw herself forward, and lazily lay on the big bed in the master bedroom.
Burying her face into the soft white pillow, Justine took a deep breath.
His scent still lingered on the pillow.
Justine turned half of her face and lazily picked up her phone and dialed:
"Hey, when you arrange your daily schedule, please remember that I will be living in the apartment in the Harbor District from now on, and will not be returning to the villa in Long Island District."
"Okay, boss."
Came the secretary's voice.
Justine turned over in the soft big bed, staring up at the wooden ceiling. Instead of hanging up the phone, she was in a daze for a while.
On the other end of the phone, the boss didn't hang up, and the secretary didn't hang up either. Instead, they were quietly waiting for Justine's follow-up instructions.
"Well, besides... arrange a new itinerary for me and book the airport. I'm going to China next Monday."
"Where in China, boss?"
"Just... the Demon City."
…
China, Shanghai, Pudong International Airport.
A certain section of the airport runway and boarding gate has been booked in advance by the Shanghai Municipal Government.
A pure white Gulfstream G550 business jet slowly stopped on the airport runway.
This is a business jet that can fly directly from New York to Tokyo across the Pacific Ocean. On its slender white fuselage is printed the huge logo of Hammer Industries.
After the passenger plane came to a complete stop, the ground staff passenger ladder truck quickly drove over and steadily docked the gangway at the door of the passenger plane.
Outside the plane, there was already a welcoming crowd. A red carpet was laid all the way down the stairs of the passenger elevator to the side of the black business sedan. On both sides of the red carpet, one row was filled with hostesses in long dresses, and the other row was filled with primary school students in school uniforms, red scarves, and holding flowers.
Behind the crowd was a large red banner:
"Warmly welcome Mr. Justin Hammer, Chairman of Hammer Industries, and his delegation to visit Magic City!"
The following line of small words:
"——Modu City Economic Development Zone Management Committee."
The wind at the airport was so strong that the banners rustled.
Farther away from the crowd, there were two men standing, one wearing a gray jacket and trousers, and looked to be in his thirties, and the other wearing a suit and looked a little younger. Both of them were dressed simply and unremarkably. They stood in the distance, smoking, and watching the scene on the airport runway coldly.
One of them exhaled a puff of white smoke, holding the cigarette butt in his hand, letting the ashes drift in the wind. He looked at the commercial airliner in the distance and said calmly,
"Tell me, who is the chairman of Hammer Industries this time?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The companion shook his head and said:
"I don't know. Although Hammer Industries is a well-known multinational group, it does not have much business in China or in the entire Asia-Pacific region. Chairman Justin Hammer suddenly decided to come to China, and no one knows why."
"Then why did the bureau send us here?"
"Hmm..." The companion hesitated for a moment and said:
"According to our intelligence, Hammer Industries has a bad reputation in the United States. They seem to be involved with some super villains and don't like to use normal business competition methods. They are a bit... despicable."
The man in the plain jacket and trousers nodded and said:
"I see."
At this time, among the welcoming crowd in the distance, a short and fat middle-aged man in a suit with a Mediterranean hairstyle came jogging towards this side.
He rubbed his hands, looked at the two men with a smile, and said,
"Two leaders, may I have a word with you for a moment?"
"OK."
The man in the jacket nodded, and the three of them took a few steps away from the welcoming crowd.
The short, fat, balding middle-aged man rubbed his hands and smiled,
"Let me introduce myself. I am Bao Pengcheng, the director of the Magic City Commerce Bureau, and also the head of the Development Zone and Free Trade Zone Investment Promotion Committee. I don't know what to call you, the leaders of the Shenmao Bureau?"
"You're too polite, Director Bao. I'm Xu Gaofeng, a first-class agent of the Shenmao Bureau. You can just call me Xiao Xu."
The young man in a suit smiled and shook hands with Bao Pengcheng. He pointed to his companion and said:
"This is Lao Chen... uh, you can just call him Lao Chen."
"Okay, okay."
Bao Pengcheng smiled and said politely:
"Gentlemen, it's like this. This time, Hammer Industries came to Shanghai to discuss investment and factory construction. The investment amount is huge, and the technology is very advanced. Um, you know plastic steel and chalk, which are very popular in the international building materials market. They are rare products that transcend time. In short, they are technologies that are completely blank in our country. The city and the ministries and commissions attach great importance to this visit. I hope to say... Gentlemen, uh..."
The balding middle-aged man carefully chose his words and glanced at the two of them.
"Ah." The young man in a suit smiled and waved his hand,
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, Director Bao. Since this involves matters related to superpowers, we have informed the Shenmao Bureau. We will just go through it as usual. You can receive us as you wish and negotiate as you wish. We will not interfere in these matters."
The older man in the jacket beside him also nodded but didn't say anything.
"Ahahaha, that's good, that's good. I'll take my leave now. Please do as you please."
The short and fat balding man agreed with a smile, then apologized to the two of them and trotted back to the welcoming crowd.
In the distance, after some operations and docking, the door of the Gulfstream business jet slowly opened.
The first person to walk out with his head lowered was a three-meter-tall muscular giant. A loose black suit was stretched tight on his body, and there was a long horn on his forehead.
This is clearly not Mr. Justin Hammer.
Everyone present knew that this person was obviously dressed as a bodyguard.
Faced with this burly horned monster, the primary school students who lined up to welcome him all had calm expressions and no one exclaimed. It was worthy of being an international metropolis, where even the primary school students had seen the world.
The big man in the suit walked aside to make way, and then a short-haired beauty in a white slim suit walked out of the cabin.
He was wearing a stylish and beautiful white suit and trousers. His broad and thin shoulders supported the lines of the suit. He was tall to begin with, and the high heels made him look even taller. He wore large sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and had short dark blond hair that reached his ears, which was neatly combed back from his forehead, a handsome slicked-back hairstyle.
She looks like a handsome and elegant young man, and also like a fierce and domineering woman.
The crowd welcoming on the airport runway, led by Bao Pengcheng, were all slightly stunned.
Didn't the information I found say that Justin Hammer, the chairman of Hammer Industries, was an elderly white man? Who was this woman who looked like a European and American supermodel? Was she Mrs. Hammer? Or Justin Hammer's mistress or second wife?
However, following her out were two women dressed as assistants and secretaries, as well as a maintenance worker in uniform.
Bao Pengcheng had seen many scenes before. He was stunned for a moment but then he reacted immediately. He immediately led his men to greet them and said loudly:
"Welcome, Mr. Chairman, Welcome to Shanghai!"
Justine Hammer walked down the stairs slowly, holding the handrail, with a smile on her face. She nodded slightly and said in slightly stiff Chinese:
"Thank you."
Translators, assistants and various related staff members hurried forward to facilitate the communication between the two parties. Some reporters stood aside and started taking pictures. At the same time, a row of primary school students standing next to the red carpet clapped their hands in unison and shouted in childish voices:
"Welcome, welcome. Warm welcome! Bang, bang, bang!"
After they finished shouting, they swarmed up and presented the flowers in their hands to Justine.
Justine had never seen such a scene before and was immediately flattered. She quickly bent down to take the bouquet of flowers presented by the elementary school students.
Not far away, two people who were watching silently were also talking in low voices:
"How come she is so young, and a woman? Isn't it said that the head of Hammer Industries is an old white man?"
The young man in a suit grinned and said:
"I just reconfirmed with them. The intelligence was wrong. The chairman of Hammer Industries announced a replacement the day before yesterday, and we haven't had time to update the information here. This is Justin Hammer's daughter, Justine Hammer. Because the names are so similar, I guess the city didn't figure it out and made a mistake."
The banner also read "Mr. Justin Hammer", fortunately Americans can't understand Chinese.
The reason for this misunderstanding is actually related to the situation of Hammer Industries itself. After old Hammer died on the space station, in order not to affect the stock price of Hammer Industries, it remained silent to the outside world and did not announce the news of old Hammer's death. Even until Justine Hammer became the new chairman, the old chairman's death was not announced, and it was only announced to the outside world that he was in seclusion and recuperating.
Justine and her group got into a business car and left. The man in the jacket pointed at the last black car following the convoy, looked at the strange license plate with black background and white letters on the front of the car, and asked:
"Who is that, embassy license plate?"
"Yes, it's the American Embassy's car."
The young man nodded and said,
"According to the latest intelligence and my personal guess, the Americans may not agree with the negotiation with Hammer Industries about setting up a production line in China and want to block the investment, so they sent the military attaché from the embassy to follow the whole process."
The man in the jacket asked curiously:
"I just looked at the supplementary information. Hammer Industries is not an American company, right? It is registered in the British Virgin Islands and headquartered in Europe. Hammer Industries came to Shanghai to discuss cooperation. Do Americans have any say in this?"
The young man shook his head and explained,
"Hammer Industries' main business is in North America. The U.S. Department of Commerce will definitely be able to put a chokehold on us. Moreover, judging from her nationality, this Ms. Justine Hammer is a legitimate American, so the U.S. Embassy has a reason to do so."
The man in the jacket shook his head and said,
"What a mess. Never mind. None of this has anything to do with us. I just need to make sure that no one with super powers dares to mess around in China."
"That's right." The young man nodded.
Justine Hammer is from Monaco, but she was born and raised in the United States and has American citizenship. However, for the children of these capitalists, they understand the nature of capitalist countries more deeply than ordinary people, so don't expect the children of chaebols to have any patriotic sentiments towards the United States. Justine is the daughter of a capitalist at heart.
In the spacious black business car, Bao Pengcheng and Justine sat opposite each other. Director Bao smiled enthusiastically and said:
"We are very sincere, Ms. Hammer. We can discuss land transfer, relevant policy support, and tax rebates and exemptions on import and export of raw materials. We absolutely support your company's plan to build a chalk super factory in China."
Justine nodded:
"China is the world's largest infrastructure country, and the market demand for super concrete is the largest. I also value this, so I came here to seek investment and cooperation."
"By the way." Justine added:
"Regardless of whether the cooperation is reached or not, I also hope to make a small contribution to China's public welfare and charity this time when I came to China. I learned that it seems that donating to Hope Primary Schools is quite popular among you, right? Then I will donate 20 Hope Primary Schools first, um, let's call them Hammer Primary Schools!"
Hammer Primary School, isn't it literally translated as Hammer Primary School? What a shitty name...
Bao Pengcheng thought to himself, but showed no emotion on the surface. Of course, he welcomed the foreign friends' willingness to fund the development of education in the backward western regions, and he quickly agreed.
After the two finished talking about the main business and set the tone, they began to chat about customs and other things.
Director Bao has been in charge of receptions for many years. He is a veteran and shrewd man. He found out from a few words that Justine's decision to come to China was a sudden whim and not a decision made after careful consideration.
After all, relying solely on plastic steel and chalk, Hammer Industries has been overwhelmed by the military orders from European and American countries, and its production capacity cannot keep up with the queue of orders. The reason for saying that it values the scale of China's infrastructure is not valid.
So, Bao Pengcheng asked tentatively:
"Ms. Hammer, are you attracted by China's ancient and mysterious traditional culture and decided to come to China to explore it?"
Generally speaking, it would be fine to ask a foreigner this kind of question, but unexpectedly, Justine looked at the street scenes passing by outside the car window and just said lightly:
"Oh, no."
"What is that?"
Director Bao's curiosity was aroused.
Justine turned back and said calmly:
"My husband is Chinese, and I was curious, so I wanted to visit his hometown."
Ah, this... the husband of the chairman of Hammer Industries is Chinese?
Bao Pengcheng was stunned. Is this a good excuse? With an investment of several hundred billion dollars, is he so willful?
At this moment, Justine was thinking:
Humph, I don't care what the relationship between that Chinese woman and him is. Anyway, I will say that he is my husband!
You are the underground mistress, and I am the legal spouse. I win this round!
Justine fantasized in her mind that if she had read Lu Xun's books, she would know that in China, this is called the "spiritual victory method."
…
Hammer Industries' trip to China ended. Justine didn't know that she had been secretly observed by the Chinese superpower affairs bureau, the Spear Bureau. After satisfying her whim and curiosity, she handed over the details of investing in the factory to her subordinates and then returned to New York.
In a five-story laboratory building in Brooklyn's Seaport district, Justine sat alone on the ergonomic chair that once belonged to Fu Qinghai.
The computer on the lab table was silent. Justine sat there bored for a while, then couldn't help but reach out and press the power button on the computer.
The screen quickly lights up, prompting you to enter the power-on password.
It can't be my 3D size and menstrual period date again…
Justine thought to herself, and her fingers somehow pressed those numbers on the keyboard.
The computer started normally.
Fuck... Justine cursed Fu Qinghai's bad taste and started browsing the computer.
Then I saw a very large project file called "Blue Soul Artificial Intelligence Architecture Plan (Backup).vbp".
AI...
Justine muttered to herself.
She had the impression that Fu Qinghai had spent a long time focusing on this.
Is this the backup he made?
When Justine opened the project file, she found that she could not understand the complicated machine compilation language at all.
Thinking of this, Justine picked up her phone and made a call:
"Philip Barnett, come to the laboratory in Brooklyn Harbor District right now. I have something related to artificial intelligence that I need you to judge."
When the person on the other end of the line heard the words "artificial intelligence", he immediately became very excited and said,
"Boss, wait a moment, I'll be there soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Justine stood up from the chair, crossed her arms, looked at the screen in front of her, and wondered what was going on in her mind.
Suddenly, she saw that next to the screen, there was a black metal cylinder quietly placed, like a thermos cup, with transparent sides.
Justine picked up the thermos and took a look. Through the transparent glass on the side, she could see a small mass of dark blue substance slowly squirming inside. It looked like some kind of gelatin and seemed to be alive.
What is this?
Justine frowned.
I turned the thermos cup over and saw a small note on the other side that read:
"If you find this thing and it's still alive, feed it a piece of frozen pig brain or a bar of chocolate every day."
Justine curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, thinking that this guy's handwriting was really ugly.
Justine looked at the little guy in the metal bottle, looking weak and dying. She didn't know how long he had been hungry here. She didn't ask her men to bring the pig brain over. She took out a chocolate candy from her bag, unscrewed the lid, and prepared to feed the gelatinous substance to the little guy.
Who would have known that the moment Justine unscrewed the metal lid, the dark blue gelatinous substance suddenly burst out with infinite energy, twisting and bouncing, and actually shot straight towards Justine's head!
Justine was startled, but after being enhanced by the super soldier serum, she was no longer the ordinary person she used to be. At the moment when the symbiote pounced in mid-air, she waved her hand and used the tube cover to slap the small piece of unknown substance directly away.
"Pah!"
The dark blue substance smeared all over the computer host.
Justine breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself that it was a close call.
Then, she saw that the unidentified substance penetrated into the computer host through the gap in the chassis and disappeared.
Then, white smoke began to come out of the entire chassis. Through the gaps, one could see flashes of lightning and fire inside. There was a series of crackling sounds, and the entire host machine began to shake up and down.
Oh shit!
Justine looked very unhappy, frowning as she watched the scene in front of her. She knew she had screwed up. The small supercomputer in the laboratory stored Fu Qinghai's artificial intelligence backup, and she still had to wait for Philip Barnett to come and study it.
The first thing that came to Justine's mind was a situation similar to that of water entering the chassis motherboard circuit, except that the "water" here had turned into a dark blue gelatinous substance, so it should be possible to repair the hard drive.
As a result, more and more white smoke came out of the chassis, and the electric flashes and flames did not stop at all. Justine was considering whether to dismantle the chassis with her bare hands to rescue the hard drive. Soon, streams of sticky green gelatinous substances began to seep out from the gaps in the chassis.
Justine's eyes widened.
She clearly remembered that a small mass of unknown substance, only the size of a fingernail, had seeped into the computer case. How could so much of it come out in such a short time?
The cyan colloid was still seeping out, even forming a trickle and starting to flow.
Finally, the host couldn't hold on any longer and exploded with a "bang".
Justine quickly dodged and dodged.
The smoke from the explosion dissipated.
Justine quickly looked up.
In the shabby wreckage of a small supercomputer, a humanoid creature made of a curvy, gelatinous object was standing quietly in the center of the explosion.
She, or it, had no hair. On her bald head, there were two hideous, twisted white eye-like objects on her face. Her mouth was open like a slit-mouthed woman, all the way to her ears, revealing densely packed sharp teeth. She slowly turned her head and looked at Justine, and asked in a deep female voice:
"Who are you and why are you in my master's laboratory?"
Justine, who was lying on the floor, was surprised:
"Your master? You mean, Quentin, oh no, Qingshan?"
The humanoid creature that was about to pounce stopped in its tracks upon hearing this, froze in place, and asked hesitantly,
"Do you know my master? Who are you?"
Humph, who am I?
Justine slowly stood up from the ground, patted the dust on her hands, and snorted with a smile:
"I am your master's partner and spouse. You call Qingshan 'Master', so I am a higher level than you."
Who knew that the cyan humanoid creature tilted its head and asked in confusion:
"Mate, what is that? Can we eat it?"
Justine Hammer: "???"
......

I even spoiled the plot before. Justine Hammer is a very useful character. She is not just a sexual gratification for the protagonist, nor is she a character for me to practice my writing skills of love lines. But a bunch of people criticized me for my watered-down love scenes...and some readers even called them "daily necessities". Hahaha, you guys are so creative. Now I can finally write about the role that I have been holding back for a long time. From now on, the Earth-36 universe will be one of the protagonist's rear bases.
