After going to the makeup artist to get his makeup done, Kevin found that, apart from his direct superior and his teammates from The Seven, everyone else's attitude towards him was quite good.
The Deep in the original storyline seemed unloved and bullied wherever he went, living his life as a complete joke.
But in reality, The Deep was a top student who graduated from Godolkin University, a 'chosen one' selected from the school to join The Seven. Before all those messy things happened, The Deep was actually quite popular.
Furthermore, he was a Superhero, a Supe, and most people in the company were ordinary. Apart from the company's executives, most people didn't dare to say or do anything excessive to a Supe.
Simply put, The Deep had good interpersonal relationships within the company. Even when he shaved his beard and ruined the image the company designed for him, the makeup artist didn't say anything.
Unlike Madelyn, who first lectured him relentlessly, and then tried to emotionally manipulate him.
"Looking at it this way, as long as I work diligently, I shouldn't run into any trouble," Kevin analyzed as he finished his makeup and memorized his speech.
As a member of The Seven, he had status. From now on, as long as he completed the tasks given by the company, he could do whatever he wanted in his free time.
And even for company tasks, he could actually slack off.
Queen Maeve did just that, and Kevin could completely emulate her.
"The Deep, Starlight has arrived. Do you want to go meet her?" Kevin, who had just finished memorizing his script and was slacking off, heard the call from Ashley, the President's assistant.
Kevin looked up at Ashley. This slightly plump woman was currently Madelyn's assistant, holding the position of 'Director of Superhero Public Relations Department' at Vought, responsible for all matters related to public relations and Superheroes.
Kevin's relationship with her was neither good nor bad, and there was no particular intersection between them.
After all, when Kevin became a member of The Seven, it wasn't Ashley who was in charge of The Seven's public relations.
Looking at Ashley, and thinking about her present and future, Kevin smiled and said, "Alright, I don't have anything to do right now anyway."
Having memorized the script, Kevin was in a state of idleness.
If he weren't unable to sneak away, he would really want to go out to the ocean and test his abilities.
The most crucial thing was that he forgot to charge his phone, and it was almost out of battery, so he couldn't go online.
And with work to do, he didn't dare to borrow a charger from anyone, otherwise, wouldn't his direct superior know that he was slacking off at work?
In short, Starlight's arrival was perfect. Kevin could just meet this original female lead, chat with her, and pass the boring time.
Following Ashley backstage, he immediately saw the girl in a cute hero costume, with long golden wavy hair.
Under the watchful eye of her mother, Donna, she was currently looking around with excitement, nervousness, and anticipation.
But her emotions were well-controlled, not showing too much, appearing rather shy externally.
When Ashley brought Kevin there, she was still having her image adjusted by the makeup artist.
Upon seeing Kevin, Kevin could see her eyes widen instantly. She pointed at Kevin, suppressing her excitement, and asked, "You… you are—"
"Yes, it's me, girl. I am The Deep, your future colleague." Kevin smiled and extended his right hand to Starlight.
This young girl was undoubtedly lucky now.
Because The Deep's inner self had changed, she wouldn't have to encounter such disgusting things on her first day joining The Seven.
Although some things were bound to happen, with this one less incident, Starlight's future path should be a bit smoother.
And Kevin wouldn't have to leave The Seven.
Everyone had a bright future.
Well, for now, that's how it was.
"I'm… I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited. I… I didn't expect to actually see…"
Starlight appeared flustered upon seeing a member of The Seven.
She was like a fan girl who had just met her idol, completely unsure whether to ask for an autograph or a photo first.
Kevin merely maintained his characteristic professional smile, released Starlight's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't be so excited. You'll be a member of The Seven from now on, and there will be plenty more opportunities to meet."
Kevin comforted Starlight from the perspective of a senior.
Perhaps Kevin's attitude had an effect, as Starlight's mood indeed calmed down considerably.
After chatting with Starlight for a while and helping her relax, Kevin quickly received a notification that Madelyn was already on stage giving her speech, and it would soon be his turn.
It was strange to note that Kevin, before his transmigration, had never experienced public speaking, so he should have been very nervous.
But perhaps it was because he had integrated so well with The Deep's original soul that the current Kevin wasn't nervous at all, but instead felt quite bored.
He just wanted to get off work quickly and test his superpowers.
There was nothing special to say about public speaking.
Kevin, who had already memorized the script in advance, only needed to read the content on stage and then perform appropriately.
And 'performance' was an essential course for every student who attended Godolkin University and intended to become a hero.
Kevin naturally handled it with ease.
First, he expressed his sentiments on Lamplighter's departure, eliciting applause from Spectator, then welcomed the newcomer, and stood there with Starlight like models, being flashed by reporters' cameras.
Finally, he delivered his concluding remarks, and the farewell and welcoming party ended simply like that.
"Next, The Deep will be responsible for taking Starlight to The Seven's conference room to familiarize her with the future procedures. Everyone else will be responsible for coming up with the script for our little girl's debut, and The Deep…"
Afterward, Madelyn immediately began to arrange the next steps. Towards the end, she turned to Kevin and said, "If you want to design a new image, communicate with the design department first. Next time, don't make decisions on your own, understood?"
"Uh-huh." Kevin shrugged, indicating that he understood. Madelyn said no more and left in her car with her assistant.
Only after the current Vought BOSS had left did Kevin say to Starlight, "Let's go, I'll take you to the conference room so you can get your bearings."
Starlight followed Kevin like a shadow. As a newcomer, she behaved very properly, not asking what shouldn't be asked, and not saying what shouldn't be said.
For example, she was very curious about the conversation between Kevin and Madelyn just now, but she was able to suppress her curiosity and follow Kevin without saying anything.
This silence was only broken when the two entered The Seven's conference room.
