In the blink of an eye, it was November 1941. Le Yuan and Elaine did not go to the United States immediately after they came out of the Hydra base. Instead, Le Yuan took Elaine all the way to the United Kingdom.
At the Norwegian port, Le Yuan and the two of them got on the ship that went directly to England. In Le Yuan's guest room on the ship, Elaine, who was wearing ladylike makeup, threw the newspaper in her hand on Le Yuan's face who was reading a book and said rudely: "What are you planning? We The order you received is to go to the United States to find the whereabouts of Abraham Erskine and his super soldier serum, but now you have no intention of completing the mission. Do you want to die?" With that, he pulled out a gun from his handbag. Point the lady's mini pistol directly at Le Yuan's head.
Le Yuan sighed and put down the newspaper in his hand. Then Elaine's eyes blurred and she lost sight of Le Yuan. The next second, a strong hand snatched the gun from her hand.
Le Yuan, who was seen holding a gun to one side, said: "Don't be so impatient. Even if you arrive in the United States now, do you know where Abraham Erskine is now? Besides, how can a newcomer like you come into contact with Abraham Erskine?" Skin? The value of his super soldier serum is very valued by the US military."
After listening to Le Yuan's words, Elaine had nothing to say, so she was so angry that she sat down on the bed and looked at Le Yuan. After a while, she said: "Then does your going to England have anything to do with our mission this time? If not, I will report your dereliction of duty to Chief Schmidt."
Le Yuan pulled up a chair and sat down face to face with Elaine, then raised a finger and said: "First we need a suitable identity to enter the United States, and this identity is consistent with our long-term stay. It just so happens that I am in I have a friend in the UK who is a business partner, and I want to use his relationship to arrange a joint venture status in the United States."
"Can you still do business? You must have been a black-hearted businessman who exploited workers!" Looking at Le Yuan's appearance, Elaine said sarcastically.
"Am I a black-hearted businessman? You will be like me in the future!" Le Yuan counterattacked, "From now on, my identity will be the boss Zack, and you will be the secretary Elaine, do you understand?"
"Why should I be a secretary? Why!" Elaine immediately got angry when she heard this. "I am more senior in the organization than you and have more credit than you. You are just a newcomer. What qualifications do you have for me to listen to you?"
"I'm not saying this casually. First of all, since we are infiltrating, we really have to pretend to be real businessmen, but are you good at business operations?" Elaine was blocked by these words. Although she joined Hydra very early and has experienced more things than ordinary women, she has no experience in business.
Le Yuan looked at Elaine who could not refute and continued: "Secondly, as a boss, my every move is more likely to be watched. At this time, we need you, the unattended little secretary, to help us prepare our retreat. Yes, you have more experience in this area than me, who else can do it but you!"
Although Le Yuan's words were not an explicit compliment to Elaine, Elaine was still very happy to hear them. A smile appeared on her cold face, and the anger in her eyes disappeared. Elaine looked at Le Yuan and said, "Then what exactly is the business you are talking about?"
"Food and drink!" A word came out of Le Yuan's mouth.
After a sea journey, Le Yuan and Elaine arrived at Camp Manor outside London, England. When the servants of the manor saw Le Yuan coming, they hurriedly welcomed Le Yuan in and notified Kemp in the study.
"Dear Yuan, I haven't seen you for a few months. I miss you so much!" Kemp, who came down from upstairs, saw Le Yuan laughing and gave him a hug. "You don't know, our Cuixing Pastry House is in Five more branches have been opened in the UK. In just a short time, the reputation of the pastry house has spread from the UK to all over Europe. I am preparing to continue to open branches in other countries!"
Kemp saw Elaine next to Le Yuan and couldn't help but asked: "Yuan, I wonder who this lady is?"
"You can call me Elaine, I am Mr. Zack's secretary." Elaine said with a salute.
"Zacks? Yuan, is this your English name?" Kemp looked at Le Yuan and asked.
Le Yuan nodded and then said: "Let's temporarily postpone the opening of branches. Can our personnel training keep up? The most important thing for us is Cuixing's brand. As long as our brand is still there, we will not be afraid of the future." No guests found.”
"The recruitment and training of pastry chefs is indeed a bit tight, but I have not relaxed my control in this regard. The current expansion does have to slow down a little. Apart from the bombing, there has been no special war in the UK, but other countries can It won't be so peaceful. I'm really worried about whether Cuixing can continue to be popular in other realms." After being reminded by Le Yuan, Kemp lost his mind about expansion and complained about the war in Europe.
"I also know that the battlefield in Europe is not peaceful, so I came here to find you today." Le Yuan pointed at Elaine and said, "I will stay with her in your manor for a while, and I want to reconsider the development of Europe's Cuixing planning, and I am prepared to consider the development of the US market.”
"America?" Kemp was shocked by Le Yuan's thinking. "We have just developed in the UK. Is it okay to go to the United States so soon?"
Le Yuan patted Kemp on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I have thought about it for a while. The situation in the United States is much better than that in Europe. Cuixing may be more conducive to development there. Besides, I didn't say give up on Europe." ah."
Le Yuan pointed at Elaine and said: "I want to test the American market with Elaine first, while you develop the European market. Wouldn't this be a good way to keep up with the development?"
In this way, Le Yuan and Elaine moved into Camp Manor. Le Yuan focused on business planning, while Elaine also began to learn how to be a qualified secretary, and Camp also began to develop. Cui Xing helps Le Yuan arrange his trip to the United States.
Three months later, in New York, the United States, Elaine, who had just gotten off the plane, looked at Le Yuan aside and asked: "Zacks, how could you ever think of coming to New York? The United States is so big, and Abraham Erskine may not be there." New York!"
New York, the largest city in the United States, is also one of the largest cities in the world. New York has the largest population in the United States on the east coast of the United States. Although it has experienced the Great Depression, since Roosevelt's weapons aid in 1939 and the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States declared war on Germany and Japan. With the full activation of the war machine, The living conditions of the people of New York have been greatly improved.
Of course Le Yuan came not because this is the most prosperous city in the United States, but because he knew that Abraham Erskine lived in New York City, and that the future Captain America also lived here, or that many major events in the Marvel world It all happens in troubled New York.
Looking at Elaine, who had a confused look on her side, Le Yuan said: "Didn't you read the information about the super soldier serum carefully? Although the serum can make a person's body reach the limit of a normal person, just injecting the serum will do nothing. Functional.”
After speaking, he looked at the bustling New York City and continued: "In addition to the serum, the person being injected also needs a large amount of energy to stimulate the human body so that the serum can play its due role. The city in the United States that can satisfy such a power at once is the most popular. The only possibility is New York.”
"Isn't it possible that it's other cities? After all, there are many cities that meet this requirement alone." Elaine asked in return.
"Of course it's a lot, but Abraham Erskine is very picky in choosing injection targets. The reason why he left Hydra is because the change in Chief Schmidt's personality after living in the original version was not considered a flaw by him. So he needs to compare and select the most suitable candidate." Le Yuan drove the car and looked at the surrounding streets where there were more women than men and explained, "Young and strong men in New York go to the front line to fight. With so many people he can choose from, this is the best center.”
"Is there anything wrong with Chief Schmidt's super soldier serum?" Elaine looked through the mission information, but she had no impression of the side effects of the initial serum.
Le Yuan stopped by the roadside, took out a map and looked at it, and said: "It's really troublesome to come to New York for the first time. By the way, did you just ask about the serum?" Le Yuan was a little confused while driving and looked at the map. Find a place to stay.
Seeing Le Yuan answering her question so half-heartedly, Elaine grabbed the map in his hand and asked solemnly: "Hurry up and tell me what you know!"
Le Yuan was naturally not in the mood to continue reading the map due to her making such a fuss. He turned off the fire and looked at the scenery on the roadside. Le Yuan said lightly: "The good is better, the bad is worse. The serum not only strengthens the human body, but also It can also strengthen people's temperament. Kind people will become kinder, and people with strong desires will have their desires become more and more uncontrollable... "
"Is this the reason why Abraham Erskine defected? He thought Chief Schmidt was the kind of person with strong desires? How is this possible?" Elaine can say that she has always admired Schmidt since joining Hydra. In her opinion, Schmidt's actions were not desires at all, but fighting for ideals.
"Who knows this kind of thing? The most unknowable thing about a person is the heart, and the most fickle thing is the heart. I'm afraid no one knows the thoughts of Chief Schmidt, who has superhuman strength." Le Yuan restarted the car and said, "We also want to Hurry up and check out the house Kemp has prepared for us, otherwise we will be busy at night."
In this way, Le Yuan and the two finally found the house before sunset. Elaine went into the house to clean up, while Le Yuan went out to walk around to familiarize themselves with the situation, and arranged their dinner by the way.
