Chapter 42 - What does Compound No. 5 taste like?

Hey man, can I sit here?"

"Get out! Don't bother me." The locomotive took a look at Xia Shang, and after realizing that he was a stranger, he scolded impatiently.

Xia Shang ignored him and sat down.

Seeing that Xia Shang did not leave but sat next to him, the train head was instantly filled with anger. He turned his head to look at Xia Shang, then reached out to take off his goggles and said with a ferocious face, "You think your life is too long, and you dare to provoke me? I killed someone like you a while ago."

"Do you know how tragically she died?" The locomotive made explosive movements with his hands, "She was smashed into a pulp."

Then he burst into laughter.

Xia Shang was calm in the face of the locomotive's threat, and even felt like laughing. He took a sip of the cocktail in the glass and said slowly, "How does Compound No. 5 taste? If the people of the motherland knew that you can only rely on Compound No. 5 to maintain your speed, you would probably be kicked out of the seven-man team by the motherland."

The locomotive's laughter stopped abruptly, like a rooster with its neck pinched. In an instant, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and his tone became nervous.

"Who are you? How do you know?"

Looking at Xia Shang, he even had the idea of ​​killing him to silence him.

"Do you know how much trouble this incident of yours has caused the group? The public relations fees alone cost millions of dollars." Xia Shang had a cold expression on his face. He leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.

He knew that the more confident he appeared, the more convincing his words would be.

Unconsciously, beads of sweat covered the forehead of the locomotive. Now it seemed that there was no doubt about the identity of the other party. He must be a senior executive of the Water Group. The idea of ​​killing him to silence him just now disappeared in an instant.

"Excuse me, are you the vice president or the president's man?" the locomotive asked politely.

"You don't need to know these things, and you are not qualified to know them. The boss said that he can let you go this time, but it must not happen a second time, otherwise you'll be fired. Oh, and a friendly reminder, taking too much of Compound No. 5 will cause serious heart problems."

Xia Shang pointed to his heart.

"There is a rumor circulating in the market that compound No. 5 can create superheroes. We are now investigating the source of the rumor. Once we find out who is spreading or leaking it, the consequences will be serious. Maybe that person will disappear from the world." Xia Shang's voice had just fallen.

The locomotive immediately explained nervously: "Please believe me, please believe me, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me, I promise to God."

"I hope so, otherwise even Jesus can't save you."

Xia Shang stood up and said again: "My current identity is the security of the group. I need you to help me get the position of deputy director of the security department. Only in this way can I investigate more things and help you clear your suspicion."

"No problem, I'll do it right away." As soon as the locomotive finished speaking, a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

I saw his face appearing on the back of Xia Shang's head.

Return to the original position.

Fast said to Xia Shang in surprise: "You actually know the locomotive, why does it seem like he's a little afraid of you?"

"You must have seen it wrong. I have known the locomotive for a long time and we have a good relationship."

"I see. With the help of the locomotive, it's easy to get a position as a deputy director. Let me congratulate you first."

Xia Shang's status in Fast's heart suddenly became three points more important. He raised his glass respectfully and said with a smile.

...

Come out of the bar.

It was already dark, and Xia Shang was standing on the street, enjoying the evening breeze.

Clatter, clatter. A can with the portrait of a Chinese native on it was blown to Xia Shang's feet. Xia Shang did not lower his head, but raised his leg to crush it. Then he looked in the direction of the Water Building and whispered, "What a huge monster! It would be great if it was mine."

In the next few days.

Xia Shang and the locomotive appeared together.

Facing the countless cameras, Xia Shang seemed very calm. He held the microphone with one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. "As the second eyewitness at the scene, I swear in the name of Jesus that what I just said is all true. The locomotive was also a victim in this accident. Although I feel sorry for what happened to that girl, when I learned that the Water Group would compensate her family with a huge sum of money for free."

"To be honest, I am very touched. Water Corporation is a humane company, a company with a sense of social responsibility, and even more a company with a benevolent heart. Therefore, I feel very proud to work for Water Group."

Because this public relations event was of vital importance, Madeline, vice president of the Water Group, also came to the scene.

She was very satisfied with Xia Shang's speech.

She turned to Ashley Barrett, the director of talent public relations, and said, "I heard that he is very interested in the position of deputy director of the security department."

"Fast mentioned it to me, and he seemed to know the locomotive. The locomotive came to me and mentioned it yesterday afternoon." Ashley replied, holding a briefcase in her arms.

"His speech was very good. Let's take him. Let's arrange it as soon as possible."

"Okay, President." Ashley nodded immediately.

After handling the public relations incident, Ashley met with Xia Shang alone. Seeing Xia Shang walking towards her, she stood up from her seat, took a few steps forward, shook Xia Shang's hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations on becoming the deputy director of the security department. I will notify Orr to hand over the work to you. You will start work in a week. At that time, we will hold the annual shareholders' meeting, and you will be responsible for managing the order on site."

"No problem. I will not disappoint the group's expectations of me."

After leaving the Talent Public Relations Department office, Xia Shang met his former boss, Orr.

To be honest, Orr was very surprised at Xia Shang, who took over from him. However, he still congratulated Xia Shang on becoming the deputy director of the department. After all, people with connections were indeed overbearing these days, and even though he was about to leave, he did not want to offend such a person.

In the following days, Xia Shang recovered from his injuries while training his ability to control his body.

At the same time, you must be familiar with the work content.

However, when he was promoted, he also promoted Blitz casually. As for personnel transfers at this level, he could decide on his own without reporting to his supervisor.

So naturally, Blitzcrank took over all his work behind his back.

After all, Xia Shang promised him that he would be transferred to Queen Maeve's personal security team. When Blitzcrank heard that he could be closer to the goddess of his heart, he happily agreed and did not even ask for a salary increase.

Now Xia Shang's right hand has basically grown out, and the progress of his innate ability has been pushed to 88%. It is estimated that by the day when the Water shareholders' meeting begins, the integration will be complete.
