Hank's magical journey ended quickly...but the whole process was quite enjoyable. By the way, there was a small episode in the middle. It happened when Morgan was planning to buy clothes for everyone.
Although Morgan is a bald man and is still single at the age of sixty, in fact, this bald man is still very stylish. He likes customized suits...well, it is purely a personal hobby. Most of the time, he actually doesn't know how to wear them.
There was no way he could do it. When he was young, he had been working as a field agent on the front line, and there were not many opportunities to wear formal suits. As he got older, although he still liked suits, to be honest, his social circle was very small, and as he got older, he also
He didn't care much about image. The suit was beautiful, but it was too figure-conscious and not casual enough. He began to prefer comfort, and he would do whatever it took to be comfortable.
But he still orders a suit for himself every year as a gift to himself.
Since he came to New York this time, Morgan planned to order a set of formal clothes for all the children. He had not given them gifts yet.
Now that we're here, let's get one set for each person.
Anyway, Morgan is not short of money. Morgan is very rich. He has been working in the field for so many years. Although he can be considered clean, he still saved a lot of money. Field service is different from civilian work and domestic activities. There are strict budgets and audits. In
Overseas CIA activities are very free, there are not so many audits, and the budget is more flexible - otherwise, why do you think the CIA still wants to make money everywhere and use any means to make money?
On the surface, the CIA seems to be a huge intelligence agency, with a huge number of real estate resources, employees and intelligence personnel around the world. The budget allocated by the government every year seems huge, but it may not be sufficient for each specific task.
, this crazy man also has many specific secret operations that cannot be made public. These budgets are part of the "black budget" (a budget that cannot disclose the source and destination of funds). Not only does the CIA have a black budget, but the Department of Defense and many other agencies have it.
This kind of organization. For the CIA, there are many places where money is needed, and in many cases it is not convenient to reimburse. Take the American TV series "Homeland Security" as an example. In addition to the regular "production of certificates" for field work, the money is needed.
In addition to funds such as "the purchase of weapons and food, clothing, housing and transportation", there are also bribes (such as bribing prison guards at the beginning of the first season, as well as bribing medical staff, guards and police, etc.), transferring informants and other groups or personal transaction intelligence
Etc. Many times, this kind of capital demand appears at any time, and even in order to prevent network tracking, only cash is required. Waiting until the approval is passed before transferring the money is not only too late, but also leaves a tail. Therefore, if there are other non-managers,
With that operation budget, the speed of the operation will be greatly improved, so there are many additional means of generating income, including but not limited to planting and chasing drugs.
At the same time, when operating overseas, many field agents have a very high degree of freedom... They cannot report everything, that is unrealistic. The key is that if you do some things without reporting, it will be fine. But once you report it, then do it
.Maybe one day I will have to take the blame!
The reality is this.
A classic line from Yang Jinshui in "The Ming Dynasty": "Some things cannot be weighed by four ounces, but cannot be beaten by a thousand kilograms."
In short, because of this convenience, many CIA field agent managers are actually very rich... They don't even need to do anything special about corruption. After all, there are no audits. Their funding sources are also confidential, and the direction of the funds is even more confidential.
There is no way to check afterward.
It is basically an unspoken rule that everyone agrees that field agents eat part of the activity funds. Please, in such a complicated environment abroad, those field agents may be killed by other countries' intelligence agencies at any time. There is no tomorrow, if there is no point.
Benefit, who does it?
How can people work so hard for such a measly salary every month, when other countries don’t pay enough? (There are real CIA agents in the United States who rebelled because of the salary issue)
So no matter how clean Morgan is, he still has a lot of money in his hands. And his retirement salary is very high. He is a king agent, and his retirement level is very high. His monthly retirement salary can instantly beat the monthly salary of most Americans.
.
The key is that after he betrayed the CIA, he could still get his retirement salary!
Then he was reemployed, and the government paid him three melons and two dates, and the salary was much higher than his retirement salary.
He himself has basically no hobbies except drinking. After retiring from the CIA, he stayed at home every day. His biggest hobby was to call the customer service of the department that manages pensions, just to chat with other girls...
Basically free of charge.
It doesn't matter if you keep the money or spend it.
Then Morgan took the members of Team X to the Brooks Brothers store.
People who often wear suits should be familiar with this brand. Almost every man who wears a suit will like its items. This brand claims to have created the male hormones of an era.
What is the charm of it that can capture so many people? It is an American brand with more than 200 years of history and the title of "Presidential Clothing"...
Speaking of the birth of Brooks Brothers, we have to start with the social conditions in the United States. At that time, the United States had just entered the reconstruction period after the end of the War of Independence. The British Navy blocked the maritime trade of the United States, resulting in the inability of the textiles needed by the United States to enter. However, it was
The crisis created a turning point, and Americans thought, since we can't import, we can produce it ourselves. Therefore, the first textile factories and fashion brands in the United States were born.
In 1818, 45-year-old Henry Sands Brooks opened a suit store called H. & D. H. Brooks & Co. in New York City, which was the predecessor of Brooks Brothers. It was also on this day that Henry Sands Brooks made a major decision.
, to create ready-to-wear suits, Ready-to-Wear, as the name suggests, is ready to wear at any time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You must know that American suits at that time were still in the customization mechanism, tailor-made, and you had to wait several months before you could wear them. Just like Japan in the early 20th century, they believed that suits must be customized. Super
Fit is the symbol of elegance and taste. They call any non-customized clothes "hanging things", which is full of contempt. Therefore, BrooksBrothers' Ready-to-Wear suit can be described as a revolution in American suits, opening up for the first time
The history of ready-to-wear suits.
At that time, the United States was experiencing the "Gold Rush", which was the peak period of American men's fashion. Gold diggers had no patience to wait for tailor-made suits, so Brooks Brothers launched ready-to-wear suits with selected high-quality fabrics. According to the popular version
The model produces suits in a range of sizes. Compared with customization, it is not only much cheaper, but you can get an elegant gentleman's suit without waiting. Why not. In 1850, Brooks Brothers began to adopt the brand logo that is still in use today.
A suspended golden sheep. Originated from ancient Greek mythology, symbolizing wealth, indomitable will, ideals and happiness. Later, with the sudden rise of Brooks Brothers, "golden wool" became synonymous with high-grade wool, and all men
Dream of owning a Brooks Brothers.
We mentioned above that Brooks Brothers is known as the "presidential uniform". This is because 40 of the 45 presidents in American history wore Brooks Brothers to attend the inauguration ceremony. President Lincoln was a loyal fan of it and once wore it in his
At the inauguration ceremony, he delivered a speech while wearing a Brooks Brothers custom-made coat embroidered with "One Country, One Destiny". Successive presidents such as Kennedy, Ford, and Bush are all its loyal customers. For more than 200 years, Brooks Brothers has not only been favored by all presidents of the United States.
It is loved by Hollywood movie stars and artists. It is a model of American clothing and a representative of the American spirit. For example, in "Mad Men", which is a model of men's clothing, almost all the advertising elites wear Brooks Brothers.
The gorgeous suits that Leonardo wore in "The Great Gatsby" were designed by Brooks Brothers.
In short, this is a suit store that is old enough and fashionable enough. In addition, this brand has always had handmade stores, which is also a tribute. However, the disadvantage is that it is expensive!
This store does not appear to be crowded. In fact, most of the time, this store is deserted...for no other reason than one word - expensive! Most people who wear Brooks Brothers still buy ready-made clothes habitually.
, of course ready-made clothes are not cheap either.
The price of handmade customization is a bit crazy, and the reason why this store is still open is more to maintain its high quality. It does not accept ordinary customers. For example, if someone comes in and wants to order, the clerk inside
The person who knows how to greet you will ask your name, then look at the VIP list, then shake his head and tell you that this place only serves the people on the list.
It does not rely on sales to make money at all. Its existence is only to tell others that the brand is noble...in fact, it is a kind of marketing method. It is very simple to get on their VIP list. Spend money, spend a lot of money, and buy it.
Every single product, new product, and various limited editions are a bit similar to those companies selling sports cars.
It just costs you more money to highlight one!
But Morgan doesn't have this trouble. He orders a private suit every year. He is a VIP among VIPs.
So personal customization is very simple, just show your gold card, and then a few old men and a few young ladies will come out and provide everyone with the most distinguished service!
Women are no exception. With the development of the times, women can also order suits.
But there was a little problem when it came to Beast Hank.
He is very tall and has long hair all over his body, and his hair is blue.
This gives the old tailors in the store... or senior suit designers a huge challenge. They have never done this kind of work. But this makes those old tailors excited. If the suits they design are good,
That cliffhanger was perfect propaganda, look, a beast can be a gentleman wearing our suit!
I get excited just thinking about it!
Then a group of people waited on him.
This made the beast very uneasy. He felt like a fat man surrounded by a group of vicious dogs... That feeling made his beast feel very uneasy.
In the end, it was the store manager who made the decision. It was really rude to have a group of people surrounding his customers. Then it was up to her... Yes, the store manager is a young lady, a very pretty one. She can do it in a store like this.
There is no way that the store manager's lady is an ordinary person. A high degree of education is just the basics. She also needs high emotional intelligence.
Appearance is also required.
So a pretty girl took the beast to measure his body data...in a separate room.
People outside didn't think anything was wrong at first...but soon there was a scream from the single room. It was nothing, everyone thought the store manager was frightened by the beast.
But soon this exclamation was replaced by the cry of the beast: "No! Don't take off my clothes!"
I feel like a helpless little girl facing a perverted pervert.
Then Hank's words became intermittent, and then he switched to a female voice. The female voice had no specific sentences, but was replaced by a series of annoying modal particles that could not be words, which made everyone very embarrassed!
Doing that in public is a part of play that young people like.
But it's rare to see such wild movement. At least it's rare in this store. After all, everyone here is either rich or noble, and everyone wants to be proud.
"We..." The little naughty girl blushed.
‘Ghost’ John (the black man who can teleport) coughed: “I think we need a break.”
After saying that, he looked at the clerk.
The clerk made arrangements immediately. Although it was embarrassing, they must be professional when facing customers.
Then they waited for two hours, and two girls couldn't help but go in to call for help, but they didn't come out at all.
…
When Hank and the others returned to the street, everyone looked at the beast differently.
The men could not hide their envy and jealousy, and the little naughty boy did not dare to look at Hank.
"Ahem, Hank, keep your business card. We still have some time to relax in New York, but I hope you can take a little care of your teammates next time we have group activities." Morgan was actually very envious, and I
Oh my god, there were three of them! When the three of them came out, they were all holding their waists!
But it can be seen that they are very happy.
Morgan was never this powerful when he was young... No, he has never been this powerful in his life.
If it weren't for the hair covering it, Hank's face could probably be fried into an egg.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to describe it.
"No...no, I didn't take the initiative. I...she knocked me down as soon as she came up. I wanted to resist...but I was afraid of hurting her. Besides, they also...I struggled!"
McCoy was very troubled by this.
Those women are like crazy.
But others obviously don’t believe it... Damn it, you said a woman knocked you down? You can overturn a ten-ton car by yourself, but you will be knocked down by a woman weighing more than 100 pounds? What is this?
Hell joke?
In fact, it's really not Hank's fault. He doesn't even know that he has stronger sensory abilities and can secrete pheromones to attract the opposite sex. He can also secrete a slight healing factor that can regenerate his small wounds. Of course, this kind of
Healing factors can also act on other people if they are contaminated with his body fluids. Anyone infected with these self-healing factors can quickly recover from minor illnesses such as colds and regain their physical strength.
Otherwise, the girls really wouldn't be able to withstand the beast.
Of course Hank really doesn't know.
After he became like this, he rarely had contact with girls.
Except for Little Naughty, Little Naughty is a black hole of abilities. Apart from her mental power being useful to her, other abilities are of no use to her.
Qiao looked at the noisy group of people with a smile on his face. He knew that these children had finally returned to their resting rhythm.
They are not immortals like him. They will die soon anyway. They can rest as much as they want after death, but not these children. They still have a long time to live and they need to rest! Not everyone is Morgan and can continue to complete tasks.
Mission, look at Morgan... He's decades old and still alone, that's not okay!
