Chapter 67 Interview
Chapter 67 Interview
The comments in the live stream were refreshed rapidly, with viewers from all over the country saying all sorts of things.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the screen: "Mr. Arthur Lee, please turn off the live stream and your phone. The upcoming schedule involves some confidential matters. Please understand."
"Uh, okay." Li Yuan first looked up and responded, then looked down at the live stream on his phone. "Alright, everyone, since Wotech Corporation doesn't allow it, I'll turn off the live stream now."
"I will immediately start the live stream again to report the results to everyone after it ends, so wait for me."
After saying that, he smiled and nodded at the phone camera before turning off the live stream.
Looking up, he saw a young woman who looked like an assistant gesturing to him: "Mr. Arthur Lee, please come with me. Your interview is ready."
After passing through security, the young female assistant led Li Yuan onto the elevator, through a corridor, and after several turns, into a large and spacious room.
Upon entering, there is a huge screen hanging on the wall.
Deep inside a room, a dozen meters away from the screen, sat two men and two women, each with a different skin color.
Li Yuan casually glanced at the four interviewers, then turned to his young female assistant, took a USB drive from his pocket, and handed it to her: "Can I show you the PowerPoint presentation?"
The female assistant glanced at one of the interviewers, nodded, took the USB drive, and after some manipulation, displayed its contents on the big screen.
Li Yuan walked to the center of the screen and said with an extremely calm expression, "Everyone, although you already know my information, I will repeat it again."
"My name is Arthur Lee, male, twenty-two years old, graduated from..."
After briefly repeating his identity information, Li Yuan fell silent, waiting for a response from the people in front of him.
The white woman smiled politely and nodded slightly.
"Mr. Arthur Lee, welcome to the Vought Corporation for your superhero job interview."
"First, could you please demonstrate your superpower to us?"
"You know, this is a necessary procedure."
"Of course, no problem." Li Yuan raised his hands, and a fireball the size of a bucket ignited in his palms.
After exchanging glances, the Black male interviewer said, "Okay, you can put it away now."
"Since you prepared a PowerPoint presentation in advance, please show it to us."
Li Yuan extinguished the flames, picked up the remote control, walked to the side, clearing the main screen, and turned the pages of the PPT.
"Okay, as I just demonstrated, my superpower is the manipulation of fire, which is basically similar to the Lamplighter who recently retired from the Seven."
"Moreover, I can create and control flames myself, without relying on existing flames."
"Although Starlight filled his place after his retirement, and her superpowers are also very impressive, I would say that this cannot replace fire-based abilities."
He pressed the remote control, and two words appeared on the big screen: flame and red.
"Throughout the world's various works, fire-based abilities are indispensable, holding special significance both in terms of visual impact and emotional expression."
"At the same time, red, which represents flames, is also one of the three colors on the national flag, symbolizing strength and courage."
"If we were to choose a spokesperson for the military, I think these would be essential qualities."
His gaze swept over the four interviewers in front of him in turn, and he slowly said:
"We all know that Vought is currently seeking to enter the Department of Defense's military system."
"If a hero with all of the above characteristics, who has just saved hundreds of passengers from terrorists and is very popular online, were to make an appeal, I think many people would choose to support him."
"Once the public's opinions are united, even the bigwigs in the parliament will probably not be able to completely ignore them."
Upon hearing this, the four interviewers exchanged glances again, each with a different expression.
Meanwhile, Madeline, who was in her office, was watching the interview through the monitor, even though she wasn't there in person.
Upon hearing this, her expression subtly changed, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Li Yuan paused briefly, waiting for the interviewers to process his previous remarks, before continuing:
"Also, unlike most superhumans who show their superpowers from a young age, I only gained superpowers after I became an adult, thanks to God's blessing."
"This can greatly increase the curiosity of people who do not yet have superpowers, allowing them to take me as a role model, thereby giving me more attention and support."
"Furthermore, my ethnicity, my identity..."
He spoke at length for a while before finally ending his explanation of his own strengths.
Next, it was time for the interviewer to ask questions.
The white man among the four gave a cryptic smile and said:
"Mr. Arthur Lee, I have a question regarding your earlier point about the image of the military."
"The image ambassador of the military should represent strength and power in the public's perception, making people feel at ease at first glance."
"But if I may be so bold, you seem to..."
He waved his hand, and although he didn't say it very clearly, the meaning was self-evident.
"I understand, I get what you mean." Li Yuan smiled brightly, seemingly oblivious to the implied meaning.
At this moment, he was wearing glasses, and almost no firm muscles could be seen on the exposed parts of his body.
Or one could say that his current image is quite consistent with the locals' stereotypes about Asians.
But then, he suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Are there...AEDs here?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, he took off his glasses amidst the bewildered expressions of the four interviewers.
boom!
Although the voice did not actually exist, it resonated in the hearts of everyone who witnessed this scene at that moment.
An invisible aura erupted from Li Yuan's body, spreading rapidly in all directions.
Even though his face and smile remained unchanged, he seemed like a completely different person!
Do not!
not human!
It should be said that it has become something that looks like a human, but is definitely not a human!
Boom!
The white male interviewer suddenly rolled his eyes without saying a word or warning, slid off his chair, and fell unconscious to the ground.
