Chapter 1213

Su Quan said with a smile: "Then as a friend, can you do me a favor?"

"Tell me."

"If I invest in Dr. Morbius' project, can you become my spokesperson for this project?"

Su Quan shrugged and said with a smile: "You know, a big shot like me must have many things to be busy with, so..."

Martine Bancroft was a bit surprised. What does a spokesperson mean?

It means she represents the investor, and it means she instantly became one of the leaders of this project from a newcomer who had just joined.

Not to mention holding the power of life and death over this project, it could be considered a position of high power.

Martine Bancroft pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "I'm certainly very willing, but—why me?"

We've only met for the first time, so why choose me to be your spokesperson?

Even if this kind of pie falling from the sky happened to me, there must be a reason, right? Is it just because I'm beautiful, or because I work on this project?

"Three reasons!"

Su Quan smiled and held up three fingers, putting them down one by one as he spoke: "The first reason: you are very beautiful!"

"I have ideas about you; you should be able to think of this!"

Martine Bancroft nodded slightly. She didn't feel any discomfort at Su Quan being so direct. After all, men have ideas when they see beautiful women, and women have ideas when they see handsome men.

Su Quan having ideas about her just proved her charm!

Of course, the most important thing was that Su Quan himself was also attractive to her.

Young, handsome, rich, and wealthy—who wouldn't like that?

If it were a pot-bellied, balding old man telling her he had ideas about her, see if she wouldn't walk away!

"The second reason: you are very professional!"

"A medical doctor from Empire State University, an expert in blood—your professional knowledge is enough to control this project, ensuring that the project proceeds smoothly while guaranteeing that my interests won't be damaged."

Martine Bancroft nodded. Although her talent couldn't compare to Dr. Morbius, her basic professional knowledge was not bad at all. Apart from other aspects, at the very least, in terms of project procurement, no one could fool her.

"The third reason: I know you!"

The portrayal of Martine Bancroft in the movie isn't much.

At first, she was Dr. Morbius' colleague, then inexplicably had a romance with zero portrayal and zero foreshadowing, became Dr. Morbius' girlfriend, and was finally killed when Dr. Morbius and his good brother who became a villain fought, inexplicably becoming a female vampire.

It can be said that she is just a vase that can be replaced!

And in the comics, Morbius himself belongs to an eighteenth-tier minor character, let alone Morbius' girlfriend.

By the way, Morbius' positioning is also a villain/anti-hero, and he joined the supernatural group 'Midnight Sons', which consists of Ghost Rider, Blade, Doctor Strange, Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, Iron Fist, Moon Knight, Hellstorm, and others.

Back to Martine Bancroft, although her screen time isn't much, one can still see from the limited portrayal that she is an upright, brave person worth associating with.

If something happens, she really won't betray her friends!

After finishing the three reasons, Su Quan looked at her with a smile, waiting for her reply.

Martine Bancroft didn't take long to consider, or rather, she was already considering it while Su Quan was speaking, so she gave her answer after pondering for only a few seconds.

"Thank you very much for your recognition and trust in me. If you really become the investor of this project, I am willing to work for you and do my best to repay your trust!"

Su Quan raised his glass and laughed: "Then, wish me success in getting what I want?"

Getting what he wants? What wish? Becoming the investor of this project, or—winning the beauty?

Martine Bancroft didn't think much about it, or rather, she wasn't resistant. After all, this was a two-sided matter; if she was really moved, it wouldn't be impossible!

This point shows the difference between Martine Bancroft and Gwen Stacy.

Gwen Stacy is very resistant to relationships arising from the workplace, while Martine Bancroft doesn't care about the reason for the relationship, but cares more about her own feelings and whether she has been moved.

Of course, no matter which one it is, their core point is the same: whether they have been moved!

For example, unspoken rules.

Gwen Stacy wouldn't accept this kind of thing. If she were moved, she might resign and then be with the other party outside the workplace.

Of course, if they had already started dating outside the workplace and had a good impression, that would be another matter.

And this doesn't belong to the content of the example question.

If it were Martine Bancroft, she wouldn't care whether it was inside or outside the workplace; as long as this person moved her, the way or status in which they were together wouldn't matter at all!

So in the movie, she would talk about office romance with Morbius at work, and it was still a purely Platonic romance.

After all, before Morbius became an alternative vampire, he was a frail cripple who often needed blood transfusions, walked with a cane, and could be blown away by a strong wind!

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

After almost confirming the superior-subordinate relationship, Martine Bancroft relaxed completely and had the mood to start tasting the food in this high-end restaurant.

This was her first time eating in this kind of restaurant. She didn't know if the chef's craft was really good or if it was the halo that came with a starred restaurant; in short, Martine Bancroft felt the taste was really great!

More than an hour later, Su Quan and Martine Bancroft walked out of the restaurant. Felicia Hardy, who had been on standby, drove the car to the door and picked the two of them up.

"Boss, where to?" Felicia Hardy looked straight ahead, dutifully playing the role of a driver.
