Chapter 662: Wish me success? (Second update, please subscribe!)
He doesn't agree, and no one can force him?
Talent triumphs over capital?
Don't be ridiculous!
Morbius is indeed very talented, but he is not without desires. His biggest weakness is that he needs capital to support him in turning his talent into reality, thereby saving his own life and that of his friend.
And his friend is capital!
Su Quan didn't deny Martina Bancroft. Her medical professional knowledge might be very rich, but she was very much an outsider to capital operation, or rather—very naive!
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp; the birth of capital is full of cruelty and blood everywhere.
Su Quan didn't continue this topic, but asked with a faint smile: "Are we friends now?"
Martina Bancroft was slightly stunned and smiled sweetly: "Of course! It is my honor to be friends with a big shot like you."
Su Quan said with a smile: "Then as a friend, can you do me a favor?"
"Tell me."
"If I invest in Dr. Morbius’s project, can you be 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..."
Martina Bancroft was a little surprised. What does a spokesperson mean?
It means she represents the investor, it means she went from a newcomer who just started in this project to one of the project’s leaders in an instant.
Not to mention holding the power of life and death over this project, it can be considered a high and powerful position.
Martina Bancroft pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "I’d be very happy to, of course, but—why me?"
It’s clearly the first time we’ve met, 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!"
Martina Bancroft nodded slightly, not feeling 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 proves her own charm!
Of course, the most important thing is that Su Quan himself is 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 flick her sleeves and leave!
"The second reason: you are very professional!"
"A Doctor of Medicine from Empire State University, a blood expert. Your professional knowledge is enough to control this project, ensuring my interests are not damaged while letting this project proceed smoothly."
Martina Bancroft nodded. Although her talent couldn't compare to Dr. Morbius, her basic professional knowledge was not bad at all. Not to mention other aspects, at the very least, no one could fool her in terms of project procurement.
"The third reason: I know you!"
The portrayal of Martina Bancroft in the movie is not much.
At first, she was Dr. Morbius’s colleague, then inexplicably had a romance with zero portrayal and zero buildup, became Dr. Morbius’s girlfriend, and was finally killed when Dr. Morbius and his good brother who became a villain fought, and inexplicably became a female vampire.
It can be said that she is just a vase that can be replaced!
And in the comics, Dr. Morbius himself belongs to an 18th-tier small character, let alone Dr. Morbius’s girlfriend.
By the way, Dr. Morbius’s positioning is also a villain, an anti-hero, and he joined a supernatural group composed of Ghost Rider, Blade, Doctor Strange, Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, Iron Fist, Moon Knight, Hellstorm, and others—the Midnight Sons.
Back to Martina Bancroft, although her screen time is not 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.
Martina Bancroft didn't take long to consider, or rather, she was already considering it while Su Quan was speaking, so she gave the answer after pondering for only a few seconds.
"Thank you very much for your recognition and trust. 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 smiled: "Then wish me success?"
Success? Which wish? Becoming the investor of this project, or—winning the beauty?
Martina Bancroft didn't think much about it, or rather, she didn't resist. After all, this is a two-sided thing. If she was really moved, it wouldn't be impossible!
This point shows the difference between Martina Bancroft and Gwen Stacy.
Gwen Stacy resists relationships arising from the workplace, while Martina Bancroft doesn't care about the reason for the relationship, caring more about her own feelings and whether she was moved.
Of course, no matter which one it is, their core point is the same: whether she was moved!
For example, unspoken rules.
Gwen Stacy wouldn't accept this kind of thing. If she was moved, she might resign and then be with the other person outside the workplace.
Of course, if they had already started dating outside the workplace and had good feelings, that’s another matter.
And this doesn't belong to the content of the example question.
If it were Martina Bancroft, she wouldn't care if it was inside or outside the workplace. As long as this person moved her, the way or status in which they are together is not important at all!
So in the movie, she would talk about office romance at work with Dr. Morbius, and it was a purely Platonic romance.
After all, before Dr. Morbius became an alternative vampire, he was a weak cripple who often needed blood transfusions, walked with a cane, and could be blown away by a gust of wind!
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
After almost confirming the superior-subordinate relationship, Martina Bancroft relaxed, and she was in the mood to start tasting the food at this high-end restaurant.
This was her first time eating at this kind of restaurant. She didn't know if the chef’s skills were really good, or if it was the halo that came with a star-rated restaurant. In short, Martina Bancroft felt the taste was really great!
More than an hour later, Su Quan and Martina Bancroft walked out of the restaurant. Felicia Hardy, who had been on standby, drove the car to the door and picked the two up.
"Boss, where to?" Felicia Hardy looked straight ahead, dutifully playing the role of a driver.
