After listening to Coulson's detailed explanation, Shen He understood.
It wasn't that there was nothing to do, but rather that those things didn't require Shen He to do them personally. As a brand new organization, the high proportion of former S.H.I.E.L.D. members also had drawbacks. The agents' methods of doing things were still habitually following the old style.
They needed to gradually integrate and change through continuous missions.
"Alright." Shen He didn't know what to say.
When busy, there were a lot of things; when not busy, there was nothing.
"Perhaps the officer could pay attention to the company's development," Coulson suggested. "Although the company is gradually making a profit now, the expenses are still huge, and most of the funds are provided by Stark Industries."
Developing an intelligence organization was a bottomless pit; no amount of money would be enough.
Not to mention the Virtual Reality Company's biggest business, the virtual world, was still in its initial military stage. Although the turnover was good, it was far from being a behemoth.
And right now, Virtual Reality Company is actually being watched closely by governments worldwide. While there isn't any overt suppression, they also don't dare to let it develop freely.
"Indeed, this needs to be properly planned," Shen He nodded.
He actually intends to develop Virtual Reality Company into a company similar to Umbrella, because only then can he avoid being stabbed in the back by those within while protecting the world.
But as of now, it can only be said that the road ahead is long and arduous.
At the very least, getting past the world governments will be difficult.
Since there was nothing else to do here, Shen He didn't intend to waste time in the office. He thought for a moment and decided to take Jeanne shopping, just the two of them.
"Are you really not bringing Violet?"
It wasn't until they were in the car that Jeanne asked this question for the third time.
"Why do you look like you did something wrong?" Shen He couldn't help but complain. "Taking your girlfriend out to play isn't exactly unusual, is it?"
"But," Jeanne bit her lip, "Violet will be sad if she finds out."
Just the thought of Violet's expression, like a helpless little kitten that's been abandoned, filled her with a sense of guilt.
"What about when you secretly took me to the beach back then?" Shen He remembered that time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
"That was just, just…" Jeanne stammered for a long time without saying anything, and finally, she could only blush and glare at Shen He.
"Actually, we're not just going out to have fun today," Shen He said as he drove, looking at the distant, bustling city. "I want to see what's different about a city protected by heroes."
Some things can't be understood just by sitting in an office, reading reports from subordinates, or looking at online comments.
Moreover, with the increase in the number of Guardians and their growing proficiency, they don't just act at night; some patrol the city during the day as well.
Shen He drove directly to the most prosperous area of Manhattan.
"Where should we go first?"
Jeanne held Shen He's hand, and the two of them walked down the street like an ordinary couple.
Although the purpose was inspection, the process could actually be considered a date.
So Shen He decided to do something he had always wanted to do.
"Let's go buy you some clothes."
With this declaration, Shen He pulled Jeanne to a lingerie store.
This was a place only men with girlfriends could enter. Of course, perverts didn't count.
"W-why?"
Jeanne clutched Shen He's hands tightly, looking even more nervous than he was.
"You don't have enough clothes."
Shen He wasn't the least bit embarrassed. He smiled, looking around, and then beckoned a waiter to get his girl some clothes in a suitable size to try on.
Ever since they'd started living together, he'd noticed that Jeanne's personal belongings were indeed few compared to a typical modern girl's. She didn't need any cosmetics at all, and she only had a few pieces of clothing, the same ones she'd bought the last time they planned to go to the beach. It wasn't that she didn't like clothes; she just didn't have many opportunities to go shopping.
Today, he was also planning to properly compensate her.
Of course, it was also a way to reward himself.
Because she was so pleasing to the eye.
"This one isn't quite right." Shen He stared at Jeanne, who had just opened the fitting room door, his eyes shining. He shook his head and handed her another garment. "Try this one."
The attendant beside him chimed in, "That's right, miss, this one will suit you better."
"But, but..." Jeanne's skin was flushed with a faint blush. "I've already tried on over ten outfits."
Shen He pretended not to hear and smiled as he closed the door, handing the outfit Jeanne had just taken off to the attendant.
Mm, he gestured for her to package it.
There were already about a dozen shopping bags outside the fitting room.
Having money was great.
The smile on the attendant's face couldn't be concealed, and there was also a hint of jealousy from another woman.
Under the effect of magic, Jeanne's appearance was only so-so in the eyes of others, but her hot body couldn't be hidden.
In the eyes of the waitress, Jeanne was relying on such a figure to hook up with a rich guy like Shen He.
But she only dared to think it in her heart.
In this country of capital, no one dared to offend a rich guy casually.
Jeanne was in the fitting room at this moment, so shy she was about to cry.
The commotion outside naturally couldn't escape her perception.
How many more pieces did she have to change? And the Master was picking them out, each one more embarrassing than the last.
"Jeanne?"
The Master's urging voice could still be heard from outside.
Jeanne stomped her foot, but there was nothing she could do.
However, just after she put on the black, lace-trimmed lingerie, her mind suddenly stirred.
There seemed to be a situation outside.
It wasn't just Jeanne; Shen He had also noticed and frowned, looking towards the area near the door.
A cashier's exclamation had already sounded from that direction.
A man at the door had snatched several pieces of women's underwear and stuffed them into a bag before running off.
Was there really a pervert?
"Sir, sir." The waiter beside him looked nervously at Shen He.
This was a boutique store selling expensive clothing, and there was only one cashier and one waiter present.
"It's okay." Shen He waved his hand, "I'll go take a look too."
The cashier had already chased after them, shouting, but she obviously couldn't outrun the other person.
However, her shouts had already made the passersby realize something was happening.
Almost without hesitation, a few passersby immediately gave chase.
Then, more and more people joined the chase, and someone was even stopping the pursuer.
Shen He glanced from a distance, and the pervert had already been pinned to the ground.
When Shen He turned his head, he found that Jeanne had already put on her clothes and walked out of the fitting room.
"What happened? I heard a scream."
Jeanne's face was flushed, and she pretended not to know anything as she asked.
