Peter completed the Lighthouse Fantasy quiz in just half an hour, and then went to the school playground to wait for further instructions.
"I never expected the assessment at Lighthouse Fantasy Company to be so simple. I should have a chance!"
Parker sat by the playground, pondering his answer.
He felt his answer was quite good and that he had a good chance of success.
'I'm sure I'll get this funding, then Uncle Ben and Aunt May can finally breathe a sigh of relief!'
Young Parker may have seemed a bit slow and naive, but he possessed a remarkable resilience.
Having been raised by his uncle and aunt since childhood, Peter is more sensible than most children and needs this opportunity more than anyone else.
His Uncle Ben was laid off during this period, and if he can succeed, he can use the money to help support his family, or even...
Parker glanced at the girl not far away, Mary Jane.
Of course, his youthful inferiority complex meant he only dared to look at them; he didn't even dare to approach them.
Don't worry, Peter, you can do it!
Two hours later, the interviews for this assessment were completed, and all the top students who had registered returned to the classroom to wait for the staff of Lighthouse Fantasy to announce the results.
"Senior Robt, you passed. According to... you will receive a weekly stipend of $1000."
"Grade 11... It's a pity!"
As the list of successful candidates was continuously announced on stage, the students below experienced a mix of joy and sorrow.
Those who succeeded stepped forward with smiles on their faces to sign the funding agreement, while those who were eliminated could only offer a dejected, bitter smile.
As Parker waited anxiously, his name was finally called from the stage.
" Peter Parker, Senior 12, you've passed! Based on your assessment answers and the agreement reached with the interviewer, you will receive a weekly stipend of $1200."
The staff member's words stunned the already anxious Peter Parker.
Only two keywords were in my mind: 'I passed' and '$1200 per week'.
This amount of money was a huge sum for Parker, a high school student.
Parker didn't realize what was happening until his Black teacher patted him on the shoulder and told him to go up and sign the sponsorship agreement.
He rushed forward, and the person in charge of signing the sponsorship agreement for him was a blonde woman.
Yes, it's the kind of long, wavy legs that Europeans and Americans love most; it's incredibly attractive to white men.
"Welcome to Van der Will, young man. My name is Amanda Miller, you can call me Miller." The blonde woman extended her hand to Peter.
The mature woman's aura made Parker blush, and then he shyly reached out and shook her hand.
"Regarding the funding agreement, I think your teacher has already explained it to you. Do I need to repeat it?"
Her large, watery eyes looked at Parker tenderly, and the scent of her perfume kept wafting into Parker's nose.
"No... no, I've already looked into it." Parker, a naive young boy, couldn't handle this and stammered as he spoke.
"Okay, don't be nervous. We'll be colleagues from now on, Parker."
Miller offered Peter a friendly reassurance, then laid out the funding agreement and gestured for Parker to sign it.
Feeling a bit dazed, Parker didn't think much of it. He casually flipped through the pages, confirmed that the content matched what the teacher had advertised, and then wrote down his name.
Then, Miller carefully handed Parker a badge bearing the Silver Wolf emblem.
"Keep this safe; it's the most important thing for every Van der Will man."
"Remember to wait for the company shuttle bus on Fridays. We'll take you for your pre-employment medical check-up and issue you your ID cards."
"By the way, this is my business card. You can call me with any questions you have, not just about the agreement."
The thoughtful older sister Miller smiled sweetly at Parker and even slipped him a fragrant business card.
The young Parker was immediately confused and remained somewhat absent-minded even after returning to his seat.
Even after he got home from school, Parker's mind was filled with the image of the intelligent older sister Miller, while Mary Jane, whom he had never spoken to, was relegated to the sidelines.
After telling his Uncle Ben and Aunt May about the substantial financial support he received from a major tech company, Parker once again received praise from his family.
For Ben Parker and Aunt May, who had just been laid off, this meant that the child they had raised had finally received recognition.
Parker was very satisfied, as this not only allowed him to access a wealth of knowledge ahead of time, but also came with a substantial reward.
The funding agreement clearly states that they will receive additional bonuses for assisting in the completion of certain projects.
Meanwhile, all the staff who had visited Midtown High School for the assessment that day were gathered together, waiting for instructions from the group's senior management.
Before them stood Xu Xiao, dressed casually, carefully observing the entire process.
When Xu Xiao saw Parker secretly glancing at Miller's deliberately exposed cleavage, he smiled as well.
This was something he deliberately arranged to test the waters.
It seems that young men in their prime can't resist the allure of women.
As the destined Spider-Man, Peter Parker is undoubtedly kind at heart, but that doesn't mean he's Sage.
He could be filled with murderous intent because a robber killed Uncle Ben, and he could also want to fight in underground boxing matches to buy a used car because he liked Mary Jane; these are all just human nature traits.
However, as long as one grasps human nature, coupled with Xu Xiao's overall storyline and martial arts skills, one can naturally be confident in controlling everything.
"Very good, you've all done a great job. This month's bonus will be doubled, and each of you will receive an additional $100,000, Miller $200,000."
" Miller, keep creating opportunities to get close to Parker, and ideally, develop a romantic relationship with him. That way, I can give you even more rewards."
The blonde Miller nodded and smiled sweetly. "I understand, Director Xu."
Rewarding those who perform well has always been Xu Xiao's habit in managing his subordinates.
While threatening subordinates with force may work, it's not a sustainable solution.
He can stay in Spider-Man's world for 150 days this time, and there are many places where he'll need these people.
Money is just a number to him; there's no need to save it.
Thank you, Mr. Director.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Xu Xiao, the new director, for his generosity; it was just a role, and they hadn't expected such a high reward.
"However, let me make this clear: I'm not stingy with rewards, but if any of you leak the news, you'll be itching to death."
Everyone who heard this couldn't help but shudder, and immediately declared that they would keep their mouths shut.
Everyone who had access to Xu Xiao's plans was placed under Life and Death Talisman by him, so that these guys would have an extra Mind Stone fear if they wanted to betray him.
With such generous rewards and terrifying punishments, if Xu Xiao's subordinates still betray him, then it can only be said that fate is against Xu Xiao.
The Marvel universe is full of beings far stronger than Xu Xiao. Xu Xiao's ability to time-travel and recharge is always ready; if anything goes wrong, he'll simply make his escape.
Of course, there are only a few people stronger than him, and Xu Xiao wouldn't dare to linger in front of those few people at the moment.
