Chapter 417: Shameless Guy! Hugging Xia Shang's Thigh! (Four Thousand Character Chapter)

Camille, who was just about to smile upon hearing the first half of the compliment, froze when the sudden criticism hit, causing the smile on his face to disappear instantly.

"Did I? I thought it was quite bold," Camille said sheepishly.

"Are you sure?"

Although no emotion could be discerned from Xia Shang's voice, Camille, standing nearby, still broke out in a cold sweat.

"The entire newspaper is writing about how miserable Mutants are, barely mentioning the US Government behind the Military Base. Do you think all American People are blind? Can't they see the close connection between Stryker's Military Base and the US Government?" Xia Shang slammed the newspaper onto the office desk, his tone impatient.

"A bunch of useless idiots! You're scared to death by just the US Government, completely forgetting the mission of a Journalist! Don't forget what authority the American People have given us! If you can't expose the truth of things, then what the hell is the point of newspapers for Americans? To wipe their asses with?!"

Under the barrage of accusations, Camille's head drooped lower and lower, not daring to even look up at the furious Xia Shang.

"Damn it! The moment it involves the US Government, you all become timid and hesitant, completely unlike the Editors of those major Newspaper Agencies. They are racking their brains to cause trouble for the US Government, wishing for a life-or-death showdown, and what about you? You only think about how to avoid trouble, terrified of taking even a little risk." Although Xia Shang wasn't pointing at Camille's nose and cursing, it was close enough.

He grabbed the newspaper from the desk, slapped it against Camille's chest, and said coldly, "Go tell those Editors now, if they can't change their mindset, they can just get lost. I'll transfer people from other Newspaper Agencies to replace them."

Camille, whose back was completely soaked in cold sweat, quickly pressed down on the newspaper that had been slapped at him, nodding and bowing repeatedly. "Understood, I'll go warn them right away. I guarantee that a situation like today will never happen a second time."

"You have one last day. I want to see a newspaper that satisfies me, otherwise, those who should be dismissed will be dismissed, and those who should be demoted will be demoted." Xia Shang had already promised Gambit and the others to complete all the public opinion work within a week. If his plan failed or was delayed because of this trivial matter, he wouldn't mind giving the Weiss Newspaper Agency a major overhaul.

"I'll personally supervise this time to ensure there are no mistakes." Thinking of his precarious position as Vice President, Camille felt as if he had thorns in his back. As if his feet were on fire, he hurried out of the Office and sped towards the Editorial Department.

While Xia Shang was scolding someone, Deadpool, who had originally been resting his feet on the coffee table, had, at some point, put them down. Like a well-behaved student, he sat up straight with his hands on his knees.

"Go get me a cup of coffee. Don't forget the milk."

Xia Shang glanced at the play-acting Deadpool and said indifferently.

"Are you kidding me? I'm a Superhero, not a Waiter in a Restaurant." Deadpool muttered softly as he went to get coffee for Xia Shang. "I think it's not just women who have moody periods, this guy probably does too."

Just as he handed the steaming coffee to Xia Shang, he suddenly heard a knocking sound.

"Go open the door." Xia Shang took a sip of coffee and said casually.

"You really are treating me like a Waiter." Deadpool got angry for a moment, then obediently walked towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, Deadpool saw a man in a suit standing at the entrance, holding two boxes that looked quite heavy.

"You again? We've refused you two or three times already, and you still haven't given up? That Angel (X-Men) really has patience." Looking at the burly man behind the door, Deadpool said irritably.

"Excuse me for bothering you. The previous two times we came empty-handed, but this time is different. We specifically prepared a little special product from the Worthington Family for Mr. Jervis, hoping he will like it."

As the man spoke, he tried to bypass Deadpool and enter the Office.

"Special product?" Deadpool reached out to stop him and examined the briefcases the man was carrying with his shifty little eyes. Then, with lightning speed, he took a step forward and slammed the door shut behind him.

"Is it the kind of special product with dead people's portraits on it that makes people happy?" The shifty-eyed Deadpool leaned towards the man mysteriously, lowering his voice.

Although separated by a mask, the man could still feel the other party's extremely eager gaze.

"Uh... something like that," the man said with some hesitation.

"Sigh..."

Deadpool kept staring at the man until the man felt completely uncomfortable. Only then did he let out a long sigh, shaking his head, and said earnestly, "Actually, you know, the Big Boss doesn't lack special products. In his eyes, this stuff is no different from dirt. If you want to impress him with this method, the success rate is no less than an eighty-year-old woman in a bikini trying to seduce you into bed."

Hearing Deadpool's bizarre analogy, the corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly.

"Then what should I do? This is a mission assigned to me by the Family, and I must complete it." Strong psychological fortitude allowed the man to suppress his desire to complain. He furrowed his brow and said worriedly, "Is it that serious? Does that Angel (X-Men) with two wings on his back really have to join Jie Er Company? If I were him, the top priority would definitely be to keep a close eye on his father's lower half, and then search the world for his father's illegitimate children. Find one, kill one." Saying this, Deadpool let out a strange cackle.

"If only he really thought that way, the old man would be eager for him to do it." The man actually deeply agreed with Deadpool's words.

Initially, when Warren proposed that he wanted to be a Superhero, he was opposed by everyone in the Family, both high and low. After all, in Warren's Father's view, Warren should inherit the Family step by step, not run off to Jie Er Company to be some Superhero. Besides, what else could being a Superhero do besides getting limelight? The money earned probably couldn't even compare to a single hair of the Worthington Family's wealth.

"Young people these days, they really don't know how good they have it," Deadpool lamented. He had also heard of the Worthington Family. This Family rose to prominence during the World War II period, earning their first bucket of gold through means like medicine and arms. It was said that after the war, they purchased a large amount of real estate in New York, USA. In terms of Family wealth, they could definitely rank among the top five hundred in the United States, and not even the five hundredth place.

"That Angel (X-Men) is really lucky to be the heir of the Worthington Family. If I had a rich dad, I'd probably still be soaking in a pool filled with champagne, hugging hot bikini babes while whistling at other beauties." Halfway through his sentence, Deadpool couldn't help but curse himself.

"Shetty! What the hell is whistling? I should be immersed in the act of making babies, where the hell would I have the time to whistle? Damn it, I'm so poor and down on my luck, I even lack imagination!"

Deadpool raised his head, looking up at the ceiling, and felt a wave of sadness wash over him.

"If I were rich, why would I have a pool party? I'd definitely rent a large Villa, and then call all the female celebrities over to play the game 'Old Hen Catches Chicks'."

Deadpool couldn't help but extend his hands, like squeezing balloons, his fingers grasping in the air.

Until his thoughts were interrupted by the man's cough.

"Oh Shetty! I almost kissed Marilyn Monroe." Deadpool said angrily.

"Excuse me, I'm in a hurry. Can I come in now?" The man glanced at the time on his wristwatch, sounding a bit anxious.

"What's up, is that Angel (X-Men) going to meet God if he's a few minutes late? Speaking of which, his appearance is quite similar to an angel, with a pair of big wings. Could he actually be God's illegitimate child?" Deadpool was as sharp-tongued as ever. "You actually got it right." Feeling that his words were a bit ambiguous, the man quickly added, "I meant the first half of the sentence."

Afterward, he briefly summarized Warren's current situation.

Initially, due to his Family's opposition, Warren ran away from school in a fit of pique and hid in Washington. The Worthington Family spent a lot of effort finding him, but after trying to persuade him, Warren had no intention of returning. Finally, his Father was truly at his wit's end and had to send someone to find Xia Shang, hoping Xia Shang would firmly refuse Warren and make Warren give up the idea of becoming a Superhero.

Xia Shang didn't refuse, agreeing very decisively. Normally, things should have ended there.

But what the Worthington Family didn't expect was that this guy ran away from Home again and even went to an underground boxing ring to participate in illegal fights. Besides normal people, there were also many Mutants there. Warren wanted to use this method to quickly become famous, thereby attracting Xia Shang's attention and making him believe that he had the qualifications to become a Superhero.

Meanwhile, the Worthington Family, seeing that he had run away from Home and hadn't returned for several days, completely panicked. They quickly threw around a lot of cash and obtained information about Warren's whereabouts from a well-informed guy.

Finally, after much persuasion, they managed to convince Warren to return. However, they promised Warren that no matter the price, they would definitely get him into Jie Er Company.

Therefore, they sent someone to find Xia Shang again. Although they offered to invest a large sum of money in Xia Shang, he still refused, citing that they were not qualified enough.

After being refused, the Worthington Family had a terrible headache. On one side was Mr. Jervis, who was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, and on the other side was the extremely rebellious Warren.

In the end, having no other choice, they had to send someone to find Xia Shang once more.

And the man who came this time was burdened with this mission.

"If Mr. Jervis still doesn't agree this time, who knows what the sole heir of the Worthington Family, Warren, will do? We can't just watch him get beaten to death in illegal fights, can we?" the man said helplessly.

"Actually, getting the Big Boss to take Warren in isn't that difficult," Deadpool said at this point.

Seeing that this guy in the red bodysuit seemed to have a way to get Mr. Jervis to accept Warren, the man tentatively asked, "You have a way for Warren to join Jie Er Company?"

Deadpool pretended to be reserved, stroking his chin. "It's not that there's no way, it's just that I have to bear a lot of risk..."

"Just a little meeting gift, please don't be shy." Seeing Deadpool's posture, how could the man not understand what he meant? He pulled out a thick wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to Deadpool.

Deadpool took it very naturally, rolled it up, and struggled to stuff it into his waist pouch. Then he said seriously, "Aren't you making me make a mistake? If Mr. Jervis finds out that I helped someone speak up for just a little special product, then how could I, a Superhero whose status is only below Homelander, ever replace Homelander and become the Supe Captain?"

Seeing Deadpool's attitude, the man gritted his teeth and stuffed another wad of cash to Deadpool, while cursing inwardly, "Damn it, this guy looks completely unreliable. He's not going to take the money and not do anything, is he?"

Since his waist pouch was already full of the previous wad of cash, Deadpool could only tuck the other wad of cash into his underpants. He jumped up and down, and after commenting on the good quality of the elastic cord on the edge of his underpants, he patted the man's shoulder and said, "This Warren matter, it's easy to handle, and it's also a bit difficult to handle."

"That's all the cash I have on me," the man said with a darkened face.

"Alright." Seeing that he couldn't seem to squeeze any more oil out of the other party," Deadpool smacked his lips and said confidently, "This Warren matter just needs someone with enough weight to say a few good words for him. If there's an Insider's recommendation, wouldn't it be easy for him to get into Jie Er Company?"

"But we don't know where Homelander lives. How much money would it take to impress him?" the man asked.

Resulting in Deadpool's face darkening. He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm enough."

With that, he patted the cash tucked into his waist, grinned, and pushed the door open to enter the Office.

Then he said to Xia Shang, "Old acquaintance, it seems they are determined to get Warren into Jie Er Company this time. I say, Big Boss, why don't you give him a chance? After all, the guy has a decent appearance. If you take him in, maybe he can attract a wave of religious followers. Those guys are the epitome of being foolish and having lots of money. At that time, we can also persuade them to donate a little money to build our Group Building higher."

"Respected Mr. Jervis, I sincerely hope you can give Warren a chance. This is a small gift that our Worthington Family has specially prepared for you. We hope you can accept it with a smile."

The man placed the briefcases he was carrying on the solid wood coffee table. "If Warren can become a Superhero, we will send four more boxes like this afterward."

Click, he opened the password lock and lifted the briefcase lid. Instantly, stacks of neatly arranged new cash were exposed to the air. Seeing this scene, Deadpool's titanium alloy eyes instantly straightened. The two piles of cash seemed to have strong glue, sticking Deadpool's gaze firmly.

However, the calm Xia Shang merely glanced at it, then looked at Deadpool and said, "The coffee doesn't have milk. Go add it quickly."

"You agreed to the Warren thing?"

What Xia Shang said seemed to be different from what Deadpool heard.

"No, I can't just recruit anyone into Jie Er Company." Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Shang finished speaking, Deadpool pounced on him.

"Please, give me some face. I've already promised them that I will definitely get Warren into our company."

Deadpool, this completely shameless guy, actually hugged Xia Shang's thigh and howled, causing Xia Shang to have a head full of black lines. "Your cash is showing from your waist."

"I don't care, if you don't agree, I won't get up." Deadpool stuffed the cash further in and continued to wail while hugging Xia Shang's thigh.

Xia Shang was also speechless, encountering such a bizarre guy as Deadpool.

And the man beside them felt that the money was well spent.

"Alright, I agree." Xia Shang considered that although Warren's strength wasn't great, his appearance was indeed very good.

If he were in The Boys World, he would definitely be recruited into Vought International and become one of the Supes.

"Jie Er Company does need someone with an excellent appearance right now to enhance the company's popularity and gain the favor of the American People. Thinking about it this way, Warren can indeed be useful." Xia Shang thought to himself, while glancing at Deadpool, who was hugging his thigh and rubbing his face against it, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

"Have him report in the afternoon. I happen to have a mission to give him. If he can complete it successfully, then it's not impossible for him to become a Superhero."

"Thank you very much for giving Warren this opportunity. I need to go back quickly and tell him this good news." Just as the man was about to close the briefcase and leave, he heard Xia Shang cough twice. He sheepishly rubbed the tip of his nose and left the briefcase in the Office before leaving.

"Alright, can you get up now?"
