Chapter 482

Su Quan rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Your nose is very distinctive."

She had an aquiline nose, which made her facial features feel more prominent and three-dimensional.

Eliza Harmon touched her nose somewhat unnaturally and said sheepishly: "Oh, thank you."

"Believe me, your face shape and nose are very suitable for wearing a mask," Su Quan said with a smile.

Eliza Harmon was somewhat puzzled. The dignified founder of Void Medical meeting her wouldn't just be to chat about her nose, right?

Su Quan was actually just saying a few words on a whim; after all, he didn't come here for the sake of a nose.

"Dr. Eliza Harmon, I have done a small investigation into your current work, salary, and status in the laboratory. I'll get straight to the point: I want to invite you to join my team."

"Ah?"

Eliza Harmon was stunned, subconsciously wanting to ask for clarification.

Su Quan, however, extended a finger to his lips to make a shushing gesture and continued: "Listen to my conditions first."

"I will clear out a floor in the Void Medical building as a laboratory, or R&D center, for which you will have full responsibility. I will support the projects you are currently developing and the projects you want to develop in the future—real, tangible financial support."

"If a project is successfully developed, the ownership belongs to the company, and the authorship belongs to you. If it generates profit, you can receive dividends. Of course, once you leave the company, that ends."

"As for your personal salary, the annual salary is one million US dollars, and there is huge room for growth. How much you can actually get depends on your own ability."

"Money, status, the degree of importance—I can give you all of it."

Su Quan looked at the stunned Eliza Harmon and asked calmly: "You only need to answer me two questions."

"One, are you willing to join my team?"

"Two, if you are willing, what can you offer, or rather, what can you give me?"

Eliza Harmon shook her head with a chaotic mind and asked incredulously: "Mr. Su Quan, you, are you serious about what you said? You're not joking with me?"

Su Quan laughed softly and said with extreme seriousness: "Dear Dr. Eliza Harmon, not everyone is qualified for me to joke with!"

Eliza Harmon took a few deep breaths to calm her mood, considering Su Quan's proposal.

After a long while, she made a decision: "I think the only things I can offer are gratitude and loyalty!"

Su Quan smiled and extended his hand: "Deal?"

"Deal!"

Eliza Harmon shook his hand excitedly, then let out a long breath and asked: "So, what should I do now?"

"Ring-ring-ring—"

His phone rang. Su Quan glanced at the name on the caller ID, thought for a moment, and said to Eliza Harmon: "You resign first. I'll have Felicity contact you. If you need anything, you can tell her. I have something to take care of here; I'll contact you later."

"Okay, okay." Eliza Harmon nodded, unable to help but confirm: "It's real, right?"

Su Quan gave a brilliant smile: "Of course."

"That's good, then, then I'll go up first." Eliza Harmon breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and walked into the building step by step.

Su Quan answered the call and said with a smile: "How did you suddenly think of calling me? Oh? You've come to Central City? Alright, I should have time. Let's meet at Jitters Coffee."

Hanging up the phone, Su Quan called Felicity to tell her about recruiting Dr. Eliza Harmon, stated the conditions of the recruitment, and asked her to contact Eliza Harmon.

Then, he walked to the parking lot and drove to Jitters Coffee.

This coffee shop is the one where Iris works, and it is also a place where Barry Allen and the Flash team often come.

It must be said, their coffee is indeed very good.

On the way there, Su Quan was still thinking about Eliza Harmon.

From a professional scientific research perspective, Eliza Harmon is a genius. In the show, Caitlin met her during her time at Mercury Labs. After resigning, in order to research the Velocity-9 serum, Caitlin took a part of the formula to ask her for help.

As a result, she reverse-engineered the complete formula based on only a partial formula and injected it into herself.

This turned her from an ordinary person into a speedster with super speed: Trajectory!

However, the speed serum has very terrifying side effects. The pressure of Eliza Harmon's unsatisfactory work, combined with the influence of the serum, caused her to have a mental breakdown and develop a second personality.

Eventually, influenced by this, she frantically injected the speed serum and gradually turned into ashes while running, disappearing completely.

As the first female speedster to appear in the Flash series, Trajectory, that is, Eliza Harmon, dying just like that is truly a pity.

Su Quan's purpose in recruiting her is very simple: as Dr. Eliza Harmon, in the field of biomedicine, she can take the position of Caitlin in the Flash team for the Outsiders team.

At the same time, as Trajectory, she can compete with the Flash!

Since he has established a team in Central City preparing to steal business from the Flash, how can he do it without a speedster?

Moreover, when in Rome, do as the Romans do; we must also follow the Flash's tradition: every time a speedster appears, their speed must be faster than the Flash's!

……

PS: The plot of Trajectory comes from Season 2, Episode 16 of The Flash.
