Marvel's Most Honest Man

Early the next morning.

Li Wei opened his eyes, only to find that Maria Hill had long since awakened. She stood prettily before the wardrobe, examining the clothes inside.

Looking at her pale back, Li Wei felt like doing some morning exercises.

"Up so early?"

Hearing his voice, Maria Hill picked out one of his short-sleeved shirts and put it on before replying, "I'm used to it."

"Why are you wearing my clothes?"

Li Wei asked curiously.

In response, Maria Hill turned around and rolled her eyes at him. "What do you think?"

Glancing at the evening gown that had been reduced to scraps on the floor, Li Wei smiled awkwardly.

But it had to be said, some things were just strange.

For example, women looked gallant and even beautiful when they wore men's clothes.

But the reverse was entirely different...

Wearing his clothes, Maria Hill looked heroic and dashing.

"Let's go downstairs for breakfast."

Li Wei got up as well and went downstairs with her.

2B did not need rest. She had already been busy for some time and had even prepared breakfast.

Looking at the well-behaved, quiet maid who only knew how to work, Maria Hill felt that she seemed like a robot.

"I was just getting hungry."

Maria Hill did not stand on ceremony. The exertion had consumed too much energy, and she had long been starving.

Only then did she remember what Nick Fury had arranged.

She said, "We can cooperate on the Brain-Computer Interface."

Where were there the most disabled people?

The answer was the battlefield.

Every agent trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. had been cultivated at enormous expense, but being an agent was dangerous. Injuries were common, and the disability rate was also extremely high.

Naturally, they did not want outstanding agents they had painstakingly trained to be forced into retirement because of a disability.

That would be an enormous waste.

So when Future Technology Company suddenly emerged, Nick Fury had already taken notice of Li Wei.

Whether it was the "limb regeneration" drug Li Wei had promoted or the prosthetics, both tempted Nick Fury.

It was just that those things seemed to exist only in PowerPoint presentations...

Until yesterday, when the artificial intelligence "Red Queen" appeared and the Brain-Computer Interface project was revealed, Nick Fury confirmed that this company truly possessed advanced technology.

That was why he sent Deputy Director Maria Hill to make contact.

He just had not expected the two of them to take a liking to each other and make contact directly at home.

"What can you provide?"

Li Wei asked.

Maria Hill gave him a speechless look. "We have money."

Every year, S.H.I.E.L.D. extracted funding from the five great powers. No one even knew how much its budget was.

It had money to burn!

Hearing that, Li Wei immediately put down his knife and fork, his expression turning solemn.

"Money? Do you think I'm such a vulgar person?"

"I founded Future Technology Company to create a beautiful future world, to build a world without weak people!"

Those righteous words immediately changed Maria Hill's impression of Li Wei.

She looked at the handsome man before her with immense admiration, her gaze practically melting around him.

"Since that's the case..."

Her red lips parted slightly.

Li Wei immediately said, "Since that's the case, go back and send someone to discuss the contract. Fair prices, honest dealings."

"..."

Maria Hill's gaze immediately returned to normal.

Future Technology Company.

An honest man sat across from Li Wei, wearing a kind and amiable smile.

Li Wei said to the listless Gwen Stacy, "Gwen, make our distinguished guest a cup of coffee. He's the God of Wealth."

"Did you work too late last night? Why are you so sleepy?"

Hearing Li Wei's words, Gwen hurriedly replied, "There was too much work, so I went to bed late."

"Oh, your advisor is exploiting students after work too? I'm going to report him!"

"Uh, my advisor is quite nice. There's no need for that."

Gwen hurriedly made the coffee, then closed the door and left.

She was afraid that if she said any more, she would give herself away.

Li Wei did not pay it any mind and gestured for the honest man across from him to drink his coffee.

To be fair, Li Wei himself was also honest and proper, refined and easygoing, so calling the other party an honest man was absolutely a compliment.

"Mr. Coulson, you arrived pretty quickly. I only just got here myself."

Li Wei wore a smile as well.

He had only just seen Maria Hill off when Coulson arrived.

Coulson smiled kindly. "We've wanted to cooperate with Future Technology for a long time, so I was a little eager."

It could not be helped. Headquarters was nearby; it did not even take long to walk here...

"Mm, Director Hill must have told you already. My prices are fair, and I deal honestly with everyone."

Li Wei nodded. "What area do you want to cooperate in?"

Coulson immediately smiled. "We need your company's Brain-Computer Interface."

Li Wei frowned. "Only the Brain-Computer Interface?"

"Yes."

"That won't do. Future Technology's Brain-Computer Interface is designed to be paired with prosthetics, otherwise there could be compatibility issues."

Li Wei immediately shook his head.

Coulson twitched his mouth, knowing that Li Wei was bundling the sale.

If it were someone else, they would probably haggle over it.

But S.H.I.E.L.D. had plenty of money.

So he did not even need to report to his superiors before nodding directly. "In that case, we'll buy them together."

"Easy enough. I'll give you a ten percent discount."

Li Wei immediately smiled.

The Brain-Computer Interface already had complete data, so production had begun directly. There would probably be stock available shortly.

Li Wei began calculating. "Our top-tier prosthetics cost eighty thousand dollars. The Brain-Computer Interface should be at least a hundred thousand."

Coulson immediately said, "We don't need the top-tier version."

"That won't do. These are agents who risk their lives for you. Are you going to just give them some random prosthetic and fool them with it?"

Righteousness taking hold, Li Wei said in a deep voice, "You're being so heartless that even I can't bear to watch!"

"It has to be top-tier!"

"Imagine one day you got into an accident too, and your lousy agency gave you a low-end prosthetic. Could you accept that?"

Li Wei said meaningfully, "You're just an employee. It's not your money being spent."

"Fine, top-tier."

Coulson was persuaded by him.

That was right, employees had to think for themselves.

If you always thought about the agency, the agency would not think about you when something happened.

Li Wei liked clients who were this wealthy and generous. After finishing the discussion, he asked, "Can you bring us orders from the military?"

What was the easiest way to make money in America?

Of course, the easiest way was to make money from America...

Which major corporation did not have a pile of orders from the American government and military?

To put it bluntly, they were all parasites.

As it happened, Future Technology Company wanted to become that kind of parasite too!

Other things were hard to say, but it was definitely good at making PowerPoint presentations.

"Uh, we're not part of the same system."

Coulson immediately said.

He needed to go to the Pentagon for that. What was the point of looking for S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Li Wei was rather disappointed. "Oh, right, our company is also researching a regenerative drug. When the time comes, even severed limbs can regrow."

"Talk to us after you've actually developed it."

Coulson was somewhat perfunctory.

That dissatisfied Li Wei.

He could look down on Li Wei, but he could not look down on Professor Connors!

"Come on, I'll take you to see the experiment!"

Li Wei picked up his phone just as Gwen came to tell him that they were about to conduct a live experiment.
