I Play DC Hero In Marvel

Chapter 6 Unwilling Eddie

"Anton, I hesitated for a long time before I decided to see you."

Eddie hesitated: "There's something in my heart for a long time, and I don't spit it out. Before that, do you know what would cause me to be fired from the last company?"

"I heard a little bit that you offended a 'big man'."

Anton shrugged.

Go over and pull the chair behind the desk and invite him to take a seat.

Eddie sat down and asked, "Do you want to know why I offended him?"

"Let me hear your story."

Anton returned to his old position and crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the nervous Eddie and said with a smile: "Relax, no matter what you say, I will not fire you. I am just an associate editor and have no power to fire you. You know, You are the editor-in-chief, no matter what you want to say, please show your courage."

Eddie was still nervous and said slowly: "Carlton Drake, the boss of the Life Foundation. The reason why his pharmaceutical company can grow rapidly is because he used the homeless people on the road to test drugs and conduct illegal human experiments. His entire business empire, built on thousands of dead bodies — I pursued that in interviews and it ended up angering him.”

Anton thought thoughtfully: "You lost your job because of this, so you are not reconciled and want to continue to pursue it?"

"I have no idea."

Eddie's tone was hesitant, with a hint of affirmation: "I finally found another job... But as you said, my life was messed up by him, and I'm not reconciled."

"I will take time to discuss this matter with the old man."

Anton pondered for a moment and said, "You go back to work first, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Carlton Drake of the Life Foundation is a millionaire.

In terms of worth, this young but outstanding medical achievement Dr. Drake may be no less than the wealth accumulated by Jonah Jameson over the years.

If Eddie wants to pursue this matter, it is equivalent to the Daily Bugle taking the initiative to declare war with the Life Foundation.

To be honest, from a personal point of view, Anton is very supportive of Eddie's exposure of Carlton Drake as a scumbag.

But it should be taken into account that the Daily Bugle does not belong to Anton, and he lacks willful capital.

Doing things without considering the consequences is a sign of immaturity.

Maybe afterward, Anton can give Eddie some support by his own strength, but Jonah Jameson is the decision maker for the Daily Bugle's position, and Anton must respect the old man's opinion.

"OK."

Eddie thought it was Anton's excuse, couldn't hide his disappointment, got up and prepared to leave

"Wait, Eddie, personally, I support you, but you know, the newspaper is my home, but not mine."

Seeing this, Anton added: "Don't worry, I will try my best to convince the old man."

"I understand, thank you."

Eddie felt the sincerity of the words and looked grateful.

Seeing him walking away, Anton touched his chin, took out his mobile phone, called the old man, and reported the whole story.

What Anton didn't expect was that Jonah Jameson, instead of persuading him to forgive others, instead laughed and asked Anton to tell Eddie to pursue it with all his strength.

Anton was surprised. He hadn't figured out how to persuade him, but Jameson agreed.

"why?"

He curiously said: "Jonah, you should know better than me, the investigation of the Life Foundation is very risky. I heard that the Life Foundation has a lot of secret activities. If we promise Eddie to pursue it, we may be subject to Threats of force, even assassinations, from the Foundation for Life."

"Anton, New York is our territory, and the Life Foundation belongs to San Francisco. Believe me, the Life Foundation can't reach New York, nor dare it."

Jameson is quite tough: "As long as you want to do it, let it go."

"Old man, I have to change my stereotype of you. It turns out that you are really a retired newspaper editor, not the stingy newspaper boss I remembered."

Anton smiled.

In addition to his role as a businessman, Jonah Jameson has also served as editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle for decades.

As we all know, in addition to publishing gossip news, newspapers also carry the social responsibility of exposing the dark side of society and promoting positive energy.

How could Jonah Jameson repeat the trivial work day in and day out if it wasn't for justice?

Over the years, if Jameson devoted his energy to other industries, his wealth would be at least several times higher than he is today.

"You also impress me, Anton."

Jameson, who was on the other side of the phone, was both relieved and happy, and smiled: "Whether you have solved this matter or not, you already have the determination to be the newspaper owner."

"If you are complimented, let's talk about it after the matter is settled."

Anton hung up the phone.

dong dong dong!

Just as he was about to let Eddie come back to the office, when the two were talking in detail, there was another knock on the door.

The golden screenwriter has arrived.

Anton immediately put aside the matter of Eddie and discussed the script with the screenwriter.

For him, the Life Foundation is important, but nowadays, everything related to movies is far more important than the Life Foundation.

The gold medal screenwriter is a white man named Browning Toby, from a poor family.

Life is hard-earned these days, and Browning understands the importance of money better than anyone.

Therefore, he has great respect for Anton who gave money.

The communication between the two was very pleasant.

Browning found that Anton was not a rich second-generation illiterate. Batman's many settings made him shine, and the storyline was in line with public aesthetics.

His work is icing on the cake, not helping.

"This kind of work that is rich and easy to do, please give me more!"

Browning called in his heart.

"According to what I just said, use the fastest speed to improve the script." An Dong said, "Besides, I just thought of a job that is suitable for you."

"Please." Browning nodded.

"Write this story out and promote it to the public in the form of a novel as the first step in promoting the movie," Anton said. "As for the compensation, you will get what you deserve."

"make a deal."

Browning did not hesitate, nodding decisively.

Batman's story setting is quite complete, this job is not too difficult, and the pay is higher than the market price, so he is very happy to reach a cooperation with Anton.

"Tomorrow I'll fly to L.A. to meet up with Jim. If you want to go back to L.A. you can come with me."

Anton nodded.

"Okay, then I'll take my leave."

Browning is very good at looking people, seeing Anton's intention to see off guests, and voluntarily retire.

Anton looked out the window, the golden sunset was overgrown with clouds.

Suddenly came back to God.

I didn't expect to talk about this point with Browning.

He got up and went to the staff area, and saw Betty who had packed up and was about to get off work.

"Hey Betty, is Eddie off work?"

"do not know."

Betty didn't give him a good look, twisted her buttocks without looking back, and disappeared in Anton's eyes.

"Isn't it just that you don't speak words, didn't you make you the editor-in-chief? Women are too stingy!"

Anton touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

"Anton, are you looking for me?"

Eddie just came out of the office.

"Yes, are you free to have a drink? Just downstairs at the bar not far away."

Anton invited: "I have a few words to tell you."

I have received the signing station short, let's invest quickly, now it is pure profit! In addition, these few days are very busy and can't find time, probably after signing the contract and changing the status, you can change it twice a day, sorry! Finally, ask for collections, ask for recommended tickets! The new book period is still very important!
