Luke didn't use any superpowers on Aunt Annie.
The other party's mood was very stable, and there was no intention of entanglement. It was a group of middle-aged men on Adrian's side who were excited.
Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with Annie, a wage earner—after all, he and her big boss are actually quite close.
Tony of the Disaster Control Department mentioned a few words that the implementation policy was created by Pepper, and it is a department that wipes the ass of superheroes.
It's no wonder that this kind of department doesn't invite people to scold. As long as Aunt Annie's ability and means are a little bit worse, she can't do anything.
Now that he has the opportunity, Luke also inspects the ability and character of the person in charge.
Sometimes no matter how many good things are done, it can't resist the mess of the finishers.
For example, a lot of effort was spent in the early stage of disaster relief, but in the later stage, the personnel who distributed relief supplies were high-ranking and corrupt.
And judging from the contact just now, this Aunt Anne is pretty reliable.
Keep a cool head and don't use your tongue, but what you should do is not vague at all.
What happened to Adrian, New York officials already had relevant clauses in the bidding contract.
It is also because of his own actions that the risk is extremely high, and he will be in trouble.
After walking more than 200 meters, Luke opened a shop door on the side of the road and walked in.
Adrian froze: "Here...is a law firm?"
He looked up, and the signboard of "Jesse's Bar" was impressively hanging above.
Luke smiled: "Long time no see, I'll buy you a drink by the way. Don't worry, I will call a very professional lawyer."
Adrian was dumbfounded, looked at Luke who had already walked into the bar, and followed him in.
What can I do if I don't go in? The job has been taken away by that old woman Annie, and I can only sit in trouble with a group of old guys when I go back.
The seven or eight middle-aged men behind him thought similarly, and soon followed.
Jessie, the owner of the bar who was cleaning, looked up. She wanted to say that it was still open, but when she saw Luke, she immediately changed her words: "Hey, we don't serve minors here."
Luke smiled and nodded: "Our friends have all grown up for a long time."
As he spoke, he turned his head to the crowd and said, "Just order what you want to drink, and I'll pay for it."
A group of men behind him cheered together.
If you don't have a job, at least you have wine to accompany you, and it's a good day.
Soon, the small bar became lively.
A group of middle-aged men held beers and watched the replay of the football game on TV, mumbling there.
It wasn't that they were heartless, but that Luke obviously knew Adrian, and the two looked like they were going to have a private conversation, so everyone rolled aside tactfully.
Luke called Fudge to come over, and then Adrian talked about the ins and outs of the matter.
The second half has just been said, and now he is talking about the first half.
It started with the last big earthquake in California.
That time he took his wife and daughter out to escape and met Luke.
After the earthquake, he felt that what Luke said made sense, so he changed his job two months ago and moved his family to New York.
Originally, if this continues, his life will be a little bit worse, so it's not a big problem.
But after the test subject attacked, he felt that his family had to move, and his daughter's education expenses also had to be considered.
After the New York War, he suddenly found an opportunity.
New York's official temporary tender for many haulage companies to clean up postwar construction debris.
Adrian believes that if he enters this industry now, even if he registers with the official, he may be able to undertake reconstruction earthwork and building material transportation projects in the future.
So, wanting to make a fortune, he took out his savings, and found his brothers who were in California at the time, and everyone pooled money and loans, and quickly established a transportation company.
New York officials need to restore normal order in the city as soon as possible, so they have greatly relaxed restrictions in this regard, allowing their new company to enter the business smoothly and get a lot of business.
If there were no accidents, the transportation company he and his brothers set up would be enough to repay the hundreds of thousands of loans after completing the contract in hand.
At that time, more than a dozen construction vehicles and large machinery newly purchased were the company's net assets, and it could earn money for several years.
In this way, everyone has changed from a salaryman to a boss.
If everything goes well, it will not be difficult to become a millionaire in a few years.
But—everything is afraid of this but.
But the Stark Group suddenly created a disaster control department, which directly cut off the business.
Other well-run old-fashioned transportation companies will lose an expected profit at most, but they can still get money for the business they do.
The New York official also included a compensation for early termination of the contract in the contract. The amount is not large, but it is considered conscience.
But most of Adrian's money comes from loans, and these contracts need to be completed before they can be repaid.
Losing this business, they immediately plunged into bankruptcy.
Scattered work is not as stable as the official contract at all, and the price is not so favorable. It takes time to find it, and the speed of making money is a big problem.
So... Adrian sits on the wax.
At this time, Fudge received a call from Luke and rushed over.
He wasn't in the office just now, and he has too much business recently, so he often runs outside.
Just after hearing Adrian's general situation, he looked at Luke.
Luke looked at his expression and nodded: "Just say something, Adrian is a nice guy."
Fudge breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Adrian, "Since you are an acquaintance of Luke, I'll just say it straight."
After a pause, he continued: "A few of my friends also encountered your problem and consulted me specifically. The contract you signed should be a unified standard contract for the municipal department, right? Adrian."
Adrian had a bad feeling, and smiled wryly: "Yes."
Fudge: "So there's nothing wrong with the contract, and the city doesn't want to lose them a lot of money. But even if you want to sue, the only people you can sue are them. Even if you win the case, it will be months or years away It doesn't help your current situation."
Luke sighed inwardly.
After listening to Adrian's words just now, he thought so too.
In this matter, it was obvious that Adrian took too big a step, and the accident happened as soon as it happened.
But many times people need to give it a try. It cannot be said that this choice is wrong, it can only be said that Adrian is not very lucky.
Fudge looked at the ugly and silent Adrian, and winked at Luke.
Luke and Adrian said sorry, excused themselves to go to the bathroom, and went to the passage behind the bar with Fudge.
Fudge lowered his voice: "Are you sure you want to help him?"
Luke thought that Adrian moved to New York all the way because he listened to his own words, and ended up catching up with the high-risk New York era, and was tricked by Tony's finishing work.
If possible, he would not mind helping the other party appropriately.
So he said: "If you have a way, just say it. Have you not found a girlfriend for a long time recently? It's not straightforward at all."
You just guessed it casually! Fudge's eyes widened.
It took a while for him to control his expression, and coughed twice: "Don't be ridiculous. Let me tell you, the home improvement company has recently expanded again, and there are almost a hundred people."
