Chapter 28

"Hey, buddy, I know you." The person snapping his fingers said in front of Henry. It wasn't enough to just talk; he reached out and took off Henry’s sunglasses to confirm what this "bodyguard" looked like.

Being treated so rudely, Henry couldn't help but see who the person was.

Although he didn't know the name, Henry also recognized that the other party was the college student who used the same rude way to test him in the library lounge at Caltech.

...Well, maybe a master’s or doctoral student. Who knows, they didn't hang a name tag on their body.

Recalling the formation at that time, the status of someone who could face Tony Stark head-on wouldn't be too bad, right?

At that time, he was a background actor with no relationship, so Henry very refreshingly confronted the other party directly.

But this time, they met again on a narrow road, and he was an employee at the banquet, so of course, it was impossible to do anything rude to the guests invited. Henry still had this professional ethics.

So he could only play dumb and say, "What can I do for you, sir?"

Justin Hammer, who was holding one in each arm, continued to snap his fingers in front of others with his free hand, saying: "Hey, buddy, don't pretend you don't know me. I remember you, and I remember you very clearly.

"Aren't you very powerful? Any question, as long as you look at it, anyone with a brain can solve it. Then why are you standing here today? Oh~, I know, you’re short of money, right? There couldn't be any other situation."

: Fuck, is holding a grudge something to be proud of for this brother whose name I don't know? Otherwise, why emphasize it and say he remembers it very clearly.

Henry’s inner monologue was well restrained and not spoken out. He just tried to shift his gaze away from the wealthy young master in front of him, so as not to really make his fists itch.

Justin Hammer, who was completely unaware of how dangerous his situation was, still provocatively challenged the Kryptonian who was trying his best to swallow his anger.

A little fat guy wearing a sports jacket and a crooked baseball cap discovered the situation here. He immediately threw away the girl beside him and walked over. He said, "Hey, Justin, what’s the situation here?"

"No, I just saw a guy I know. You know this guy is a genius, right? Any question, as long as you let him look at it, he can give the answer."

"Oh, really." The fat guy turned his head and said to Henry: "Hey, brother, then why are you doing this kind of work here? Come to my company, I’ll give you an annual salary of 100,000 dollars. If you perform well, I can give you a raise."

Justin pushed the fat guy dissatisfied and said, "Hey, what the hell are you doing? Do you know what this guy did? He humiliated me. Now you want to give him a job?"

"Um, I think a job with only 100,000 dollars is a humiliation, that’s right."

"Fuck! Are you serious?"

: Yeah, are you serious!

Henry’s thoughts were the same as this guy named Justin, although the points they wanted to complain about were not necessarily the same.

However, this fat guy is also a person who does big things. He understands the difference in the importance of people very well. Or rather, from the beginning, his position was on the side of the man named Justin.

He took out a mobile phone produced in '90, full of the sense of the era—Nokia Cityman 190—from his jacket.

In this era when portable phones were dominated by the "Big Brother" (brick phones), the style of this Nokia was quite in line with the fashion sense of urbanites.

But this fat guy didn't cherish it at all, and threw it straight back. Then he heard a "plop" sound, and the phone was thrown into the swimming pool.

The fat guy had an exaggerated surprised expression and said: "Whoops, oops, bad, things fell into the water. Trouble this gentleman to help me pick things back, okay? That’s an electronic product, it will break if it gets wet. If you hurry up and rescue it, maybe it can still be saved."

Although he really wanted to punch this fat guy in the face and make his fat face become a sunken bun face.

But Henry regretfully discovered one thing, which is that according to the instructions before work, helping guests retrieve things that accidentally fell into the swimming pool is indeed within his scope of work.

Although the manager added a sentence that, generally speaking, guests would not be so careless. And most of the situations that appear are playfulness between guests, and they will pick up the things that fall into the water themselves.

What bodyguards need to pay attention to is not to let guests drown in it. If someone really can't pick it up, they still have to help, instead of sitting idly by. This is just in case.

Henry just wanted to ask, now that this job responsibility is being abused, what should he do? Online waiting, urgent!

Without acting in the first time, Henry just maintained his initial expressionless look, looking at the fat guy who was suspected to be the host of the banquet.

This little fat guy, who was dressed like a street black person, pretended to be fierce and said: "What are you looking at, why don't you pick things back? If it’s really broken, I’ll make you pay for it. Or do you want me to say that magic word? Please! That’s okay, right."

This suit he is wearing is rented. If it gets wet, besides paying the expensive cleaning fee, it’s just a matter of buying it. It can be said that entering the swimming pool is a major decision.

But Henry still chose to go into the water. Without making any rebuttal, he bypassed the person blocking him with an expressionless face and stood by the swimming pool. He just stepped forward and fell straight into the swimming pool.

The pool is not deep; when an adult stands up, the water is about at the waist. In this kind of swimming pool, swimming is fine, diving is free.

So Henry didn't think about playing too fancy, but just walked over, came to the position where the phone entered the water. Then bent down into the water and fished out the expensive Nokia from the bottom of the pool.

Of course, the whole suit was not spared, all soaked. Even his head was a mess. This is something he could confirm the position of the phone at the bottom of the pool, so he didn't have to hold his breath and dive into the water to grope for a long time.

The fat guy laughing loudly said by the pool: "Right, wouldn't it be better to do this earlier."

Looking at the object he wanted to please with a satisfied look, the little fat guy said: "Justin, if you still want to fix him, take my advice, send him directly to the island."

"What island?" Justin was first puzzled, then said: "Wouldn't it be the legendary Orgy island? That kind of big guy is not suitable, right?"

"Hey, there are not only entertainment items on the island. It’s just that you know, I can’t say too many details outside."

These conversations, both thought they lowered their voices, and the people in the swimming pool couldn't hear them. Unbeknownst to them, Henry had long put his attention on them, and every word was heard clearly.

So when Henry picked up the phone and stood up from the swimming pool, he didn't immediately climb up the escalator next to the swimming pool. Instead, he shook the phone at the little fat guy, and then threw it outside the fence!

"Whoops, oops, sorry, my hand slipped." Henry frowned, pursed his lips, spread his hands, and made a helpless, punchable expression.
