Chapter 66 Job Seeking and Background Checks
"I hope I'll have the opportunity to join the Seven in the future, and work alongside my idol, the Invisible Man, and other superheroes to protect and help others!"
Li Yuan's face was flushed, looking both nervous about the dramatic changes that were about to happen in his life and excited about meeting his idol.
He took a deep breath, then looked around at the reporters again, and once again randomly pointed to someone to answer the question.
……
Inside the Water Tower.
Madeline Steelwell leaned back in her office chair and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her: "Tell me, what have you found out?"
"Yes, Ms. Steelwell," the middle-aged man said, pressing a button on the remote control in his hand.
On the large screen behind him, Li Yuan's photo and images of numerous documents were displayed.
"Arthur Lee, male, 22 years old, recently graduated from an Ivy League school."
"No smoking, no excessive drinking, no fighting, no drug abuse, no promiscuity..."
He rambled on and on in his own language, then shrugged and concluded, "A typical Asian idiot who only knows how to study."
"Is he an immigrant? Or..." Madeline asked.
The middle-aged man pressed another button on the remote control, and a file image immediately appeared on the screen.
"He was born in the United States, and this is his birth certificate."
Madeline adjusted her glasses: "This hospital..."
The middle-aged man nodded: "It's one of the hospitals that collaborates with the group."
"So, he was injected with compound five when he was a baby?" Madeline asked.
"Yes, but according to the records, although he did not show any symptoms of discomfort at the time, he did not exhibit any superpowers either." The middle-aged man pressed the remote control button again, enlarging an image of an internal record from Vought International.
"So, he really did suddenly awaken superpowers after so many years?" Madeline frowned slightly.
The middle-aged man zoomed in on another image: "Judging from the facts, that should be the case."
"When he went to the emergency room a month ago, he didn't show any abnormalities."
"You know, given that he stopped a bullet without a scratch on the plane, an ordinary needle simply couldn't penetrate his skin."
"Emergency room visit? What's the reason?" Madeline asked after thinking for a moment.
"Food poisoning," the middle-aged man replied.
"Is it possible that this is the reason he awakened his superpowers?"
"Well... I'm not sure. Perhaps we need to give him a thorough physical examination and do some relevant tests to find out."
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Madeline stared at Li Yuan's photo on the screen, took a deep breath, and then slowly sighed: "Could it really be such a coincidence..."
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "What are his interpersonal and family relationships like?"
The middle-aged man pressed the remote control button again, enlarging several images:
"Because of his ethnicity, he was never very sociable at school, had few friends, and almost never caused any trouble."
"There were only my parents at home, but they both passed away a month ago."
"A month ago?" Madeline seemed to have thought of something.
The middle-aged man nodded: "That's right, he died from food poisoning."
"At the time, Arthur Lee had just successfully received his graduation certificate, and his family happened to win the lottery and received a large sum of money, which allowed them to pay off their student loans ahead of schedule."
"The family went to a restaurant to celebrate, but because the pufferfish they ate contained residual toxins, all three of them ended up in the hospital."
"In the end, only Arthur Lee survived; his parents died despite attempts to save them."
Madeline nodded: "I understand, you can go ahead now."
"Yes, Ms. Steelwell." The middle-aged man quickly packed his things and walked out of the senior vice president's office.
After he left, Madeline opened her phone and opened one of her most frequently used apps after another.
YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok...
Looking at the numerous videos related to Li Yuan on these platforms, and witnessing the consistently high popularity and the ever-increasing number of comments with each refresh, he fell into deep thought.
……
After being interviewed by reporters, Li Yuan bought a plane ticket to New York at Chicago Airport and arrived in New York that very night.
After resting at the hotel for one night, they headed to the Water Tower early the next morning and started a live broadcast on the way.
Less than 24 hours after the video of him bravely fighting terrorists on the plane was released, his private messages on various social media accounts almost exploded, filled with little red dots, and constantly refreshing every minute.
I glanced at a few posts; they were from people trying to ride his coattails, wanting to sign him, wanting to do collaborations, wanting to give him gifts…
Li Yuan ignored all of this. In fact, the only message he sent during this period was to Wotter Corporation, expressing his desire to apply for a job there.
Given his current popularity, Water Company naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately arranged to meet him at the Water Building the next day.
For Li Yuan, so far, all of this has been within his expectations and control.
His current popularity is undoubtedly due to his prior planning and execution.
The details of this were planned by a professional team that Kengan Lee Yuan had arranged for him to enter the Silver Star Sea for the first time a week ago, and they shared them with him.
"Now, let's see if Walter's reaction is as I predicted..."
After considering his next plan, he turned on his phone and started a live stream.
"Everyone, as I told you yesterday, I'm currently on my way to the Water Tower to apply for a job."
A large number of people quickly flooded into the live stream room, and comments were refreshed rapidly.
Li Yuan held his phone and spun around a few times, taking pictures of the surrounding environment. The towering and conspicuous Water Tower was clearly not far away.
"Phew—to be honest, I'm a little nervous right now, my heart is beating really fast."
"Haha, you're asking me why I'm nervous?"
"It's a two-way street. As everyone knows, there hasn't been any news about the Invisible Man for the past few days. I really hope to see him at the Vought Building this time, but I don't know if I'll be able to."
"However, even if I unfortunately don't see them this time, I won't give up. Now that I've graduated from university, I'll have plenty of time to follow my idols, haha!"
"On the other hand, I'm also a little worried about this job search."
"Since I've already decided to give up my original offer and chosen this path, I must strive to do my best."
As he was speaking, the scene in his live stream suddenly changed. The original blue sky disappeared, replaced by a magnificent dome.
"Alright, I'm inside the Water Tower now. I don't know if they'll let me continue streaming."
"However, I will start a live stream as soon as it's over to share with everyone."
