Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

Blackie was interrupted again. Tony Stark said while eating his burger, "This tastes really good. I asked him to be my personal chef. Would he agree?"

Wesley was stunned for a moment, then said, "I believe it would be an honor for Henry, but I don't think he would agree."

"how do you know?"

"Because I also tried to recruit him to be my assistant, and even help him start his own business. But Henry didn't agree."

"Rejected? The salary you offered is too low." The first instinct of children from wealthy families is that the money is not enough.

Lao Hei said in panic, "No, no, no, I'll give him a fixed salary of NT$150,000 a year. If he works with me on catering assignments, he'll get a bonus each time. This is much higher than what he would make as a street actor."

Tony Stark certainly wouldn't understand that an annual salary of $150,000 is more than three times the average salary in the United States.

He just recalled another thing, which was related to a few key words that the man said.

Caltech, stupid questions, stupid people. Especially the last one, he only thought of Justin Hammer.

This certainly doesn't mean that this is the only idiot at Caltech. Rather, this is the only idiot worthy of being remembered by Tony Stark.

So many clues were enough for Tony Stark to recall that in the rest area outside the library, Justin Hammer used a question about the space shuttle returning to Earth to lure out a passerby who could figure out the answer at a glance.

Possessing extraordinary computing abilities was nothing to Tony Stark, especially those students from the East Country, each of whom was like a human calculator.

But this person also has excellent cooking skills, which means that even a genius hasn't given up on the taste for life. This is great, much better than those geniuses who are only partial to one subject and can't take care of themselves.

And this guy's job is to be a passerby actor in Hollywood... Isn't this crazy!

Any one of the above three qualities, if present in a person alone, would not be worthy of Tony Stark's attention.

But if the three of them were to get together, it had to be said that Tony, with his vast knowledge, would also be interested in such a patient. He wanted to dissect the other person's brain to see where the knot or missing nerve was.

"With better jobs available, why did that guy insist on being an actor? Did he really want to be a big star that much?" Tony Stark asked.

At the same time, I was thinking, if the other person wants to become a star, what should I do to make him surrender?

But Blackie knew what Henry was thinking. He said, "I asked him, and he doesn't really want to be famous. He just came to Hollywood to see the world because he likes Audrey Hepburn. Maybe he'll get tired of it and look for other work."

"Oh, when did I get tired of seeing this?" Tony Stark repeated the sentence playfully.

Chapter 69 Expulsion

"I'm sorry to tell you this, Henry."

This is the first sentence a Kryptonian who travels to this world hears when he comes face to face with a big star.

Steven Seagal stood in front of Henry with a serious face and said, "We already know about the conflict in the dining area yesterday. Regardless of the facts, you did say something rude.

"Although Mr. Stark did not make such a request, other producers believe that keeping you in the team would be detrimental to the filming of the movie.

"After all, being able to borrow the battleship Missouri as a filming location wouldn't have been possible without Mr. Stark's assistance. Any further conflict wouldn't be good for anyone. You can agree on that, right?"

Mr. Stark?

Madfak!

Henry, who was confused, figured out the whole story in an instant.

In this world, in the United States, there are only two Starks who are so highly regarded. One is Howard Stark, a genius scientist and entrepreneur who has been active since World War II; the other is of course Tony Stark, the future owner of Stark Industries.

In other words, judging by age, the jerk who stole his burger yesterday was Tony Stark. Then he scolded him, and it really was... not unfair!

With that kind of character, I didn't even treat him to Krypton Iron Fist. It turns out that he is protected by the protagonist's luck!

Henry thought it through and said seriously, "I understand, Mr. Sieg. So what should we do now?"

Steven Seagal produced a check and said, "Your employment ends today. This is your previous paycheck. If you have any questions about the numbers, you can go to the finance department."

Henry accepted the check without hesitation. His position within the production team was that of a disposable actor. Insisting on staying and using the contract as an excuse would only make things awkward for everyone involved.

Seeing the man before him so sensible, Steven Seagal felt relieved. He shook Henry's hand and said, "I'm sorry we have to handle this this way.

"Actually, I was very optimistic about you. The fight scenes you and I performed better than anyone else. I was thinking of signing you to my exclusive team, but it's a pity that something like this happened today. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again."

Henry said, "Thank you, Mr. Sieg."

Whether it was a courtesy or a genuine expression, celebrities are simply busier than everyone else. Steven Seagal left after he finished speaking. As for Henry, someone would naturally watch him leave and ensure he didn't cause any trouble.

After changing out of his villain costume in the dressing room, Henry prepared to leave. As he passed the dining area, he saw Chef Black directing the team to clean up the mess left after breakfast. Henry decided to say hello before leaving.

Henry first said to the two security guards following him: "Hey, guys. I'm going to talk to the chef for a few minutes, then go back to the restaurant to pack up and leave. Is that okay?"

These two strong men also smoked with Henry.

They looked at each other and said, "Brother, don't stay too long. The heroine doesn't have any scenes this morning, so you and that girl probably won't run into each other again during this period. You have to promise not to cause trouble, so that we can be reasonable with the producers."

"I promise not to cause trouble." Henry swore to himself.

As for the hints from the two security guards, they were obvious enough. Whether the heroine had no scenes that morning or was a last-minute arrangement, it was definitely related to that young man. But that was not something Henry could worry about.

Henry went over and exchanged fist bumps with the black chef. The black man, whose racial talent was a natural rap rhythm, said enthusiastically, "Why didn't I see you for breakfast this morning? Brother."

"I went to meet the big star, Mr. Steven Seagal." Henry said honestly.

Logically, this should be a good thing, but Lao Hei sensed something was wrong from Henry's face, which was not very smiling. He asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Taking out the check from his pocket and shaking it, Henry said, "My work ends today. You don't have to come tomorrow."

"How could they do this?"

"Why not? The termination clause in the contract is for use when necessary." Henry said with a cheerful attitude.

He patted the check in his breast pocket again and said, "Besides, they followed the rules and didn't deduct a cent. Even if I wanted to make trouble, I wouldn't have any reason to."

Henry remembered the contract details perfectly. His daily salary, plus the compensation for the crew's voluntary termination, was exactly the same as the amount on the check, with no flaws to be found.

"Then they..." I wanted to discuss why, but Lao Hei suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Could it be because of what happened yesterday?"

"Yes, it was me who offended the young master of the Stark family."

"You know who that person is."

"I just found out." Henry said innocently.

"But I pleaded for you yesterday, and Mr. Stark agreed not to pursue the matter. Is there any misunderstanding here?" Lao Hei said aggrievedly.

First, he was surprised at Blackie's righteousness, and then Henry was angry at Tony Stark's backtracking. But after a little thought, he knew that this might not be the case.

Henry said, "It's probably not that young master who took the initiative to pursue the matter. Otherwise, he would have come out in person and humiliated me to vent his anger. But when I met with Mr. Sieg, he was just doing his job and was quite polite on the surface."

"What's going on?"

"I guess the producers didn't want me to clash with that young master again, so they asked me to leave. If it was the young master from the Stark family who borrowed the boat, then he is indeed very important. In comparison, I am insignificant."

Chef Wesley certainly understood that what Henry said was absolutely correct.

Those who are powerful don't need to tell others what to do in order for things to go ahead. Instead, people around them will naturally understand their boss's intentions and then take initiative.

Then they just need to choose an appropriate time to tell the story of their deeds. Even if they may not receive gratitude from these powerful people, as long as their deeds are remembered, it is a big step forward.

Although Lao Hei knew many wealthy people through catering, he was just an acquaintance. He understood these people's thoughts better than ordinary people, but he couldn't change anything.

Henry, on the other hand, was thinking about something else. The person from yesterday was the first superhero he had encountered since coming to this world... a human before he became a superhero.

But the other person looked nothing like the actor he remembered. Henry casually asked, "Chef, do you know Robert Downey Jr."

Chapter 70 The Difference Between Reality and Memory

"Are you talking about the little star in 'Chaplin and His Lovers'? I heard that kid has a celebrity dad. He must be very famous in your circle. Why are you asking about me?"

"You know him!" Henry exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, I went to see it because I wanted to know who Hollywood is looking for to portray the female stars of the Golden Age. To be honest, it was quite disappointing. But Chaplin boy has good acting skills, I can still see that."

"So what do you think... Robert Downey Jr. looks like Tony Stark?"

Lao Hei suddenly widened his copper bell-like eyes, lowered his voice, and asked closer, "What? Do you have a rumor that those two are half-blood brothers or something?"

"No, no, no, I don't have any such information. I just want to ask, do you think these two people have any similarities in appearance or temperament?"

After a long pause, Old Black said, "No, I don't think they look alike in any way. Especially when you put the two of them together, the young man from a celebrity family wouldn't be able to be proud in front of the heir to Stark Industries."

Blackie's answer gave Henry a warning. It seemed he couldn't use facial recognition to determine if someone was the real superhero.

Because actors are actors and superheroes are superheroes, they are independent individuals.

Considering the tradition of American comics based on their own stories, perhaps what I know is unreliable. Who knows what is really going on on Earth in this universe?

For example, is the one-eyed director of S.H.I.E.L.D. black or white?

Is Tony Stark Howard Stark's biological son? Will he become Iron Man or the Sorcerer Supreme?

After Captain America is rescued from the North Pole, will he wake up and yell "Hail_Hydra!"

There's no need to even ask if this is the most famous Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, mutants running around everywhere is not something you'd expect from a movie universe.

Also, besides the fucking Marvel system, are there any weird things here?

Especially the last question, Henry can guarantee that there is definitely one. Because he is the weirdest person in the universe, a suspected Kryptonian who doesn't even know if he exists in the Marvel Universe.

The biggest sequelae of this incident is that when those people from the intelligence organization appear around him, Henry cannot recognize them by face unless they reveal a flaw.

Like an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with a shiny forehead; or the bald South American agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who has high authority but is ordered around like a lackey.

Henry was overwhelmed by the thought. He once again reaffirmed his principle of staying safe and not recklessly.

Don't meet an African-American actor in Hollywood who keeps saying "Madfake". Don't have a stress reaction and think that the other person is a shill from S.H.I.E.L.D. That would be funny.

Perhaps it was Henry's silence while he pondered that made Black feel a little uneasy, even though it was only for a short time. Chef Wesley said, "Kid, do you want me to intercede with Tony Stark for you?"

Henry was surprised at first, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "Thanks, Chef. But I don't think so. This is just a job, and there's no crew that can shoot forever. If it ends early, I'll just find another one early. It's no big deal."

"Besides, you already said that Tony Stark promised not to pursue the matter. I also believe that he has no interest in pursuing a small-time figure like me. The ones who fired me were others who wanted to curry favor with him, so it would be inappropriate to ask him to intercede for me."

Besides, Henry didn't think that Lao Hei had enough influence to make those rich people willing to listen to his request.

Don't let things go wrong, Old Black lose face, and can't vent his anger on those people, but instead blame Henry for being careless. Then we won't even be friends anymore.

After finishing their conversation, Henry stood up and prepared to leave. At this time, Old Black smiled and said, "Brother, what about the recipe for that hamburger?"

Henry said generously, "Use it if you want. You can also publish it under your name if you want. After all, you did participate in the research and development, and you provided all the ingredients. I ate so many meals of yours for free, it's more than enough."

"Hey, brother, thanks. You have my phone number. If you don't want to be an actor anymore and want to find a job, just come to me. The treatment I promise to give you will only get better, not worse."

"Thanks." Henry shook hands with Old Black, who was almost twice his size, put his shoulders together, patted each other on the back, and left.

That's the fun part about working in Hollywood, there are always new friends and goodbyes.

The breath of summer has quietly arrived in California. Driving his second-hand Cadillac, Henry has to roll down the windows to let in the cool breeze to feel just the right amount of comfort.

Just keep walking north.

Although he was fired by the crew midway, Henry stayed in San Diego for nearly a month. San Diego is not far from Los Angeles, and it takes about two hours to drive there.

Henry was not in a hurry at all and just drove leisurely on the road.

Being unexpectedly fired didn't bring Henry much regret. The next time he encountered someone trying to steal his food, no matter if it was Stark or Doom, Henry would beat them up without hesitation.

Taking stock of what I gained from the crew, apart from Stephen Seagal's praise which was probably just a polite compliment, the invitations from several other action teams were real.

Of course, they didn't extend the olive branch on the last day, but before that, someone had contacted Henry and tried to recruit him.

These action teams all seemed more reliable than Channing's. However, Henry declined and didn't agree to join anyone's team.

Perhaps after today, the bosses of these teams will be thankful that the man didn't agree in the first place. Otherwise, if Master Stark took his anger out on them, what would they do with their small bodies?

Henry, presumptuously speculating on other people's thoughts, played out various small dramas in his mind. He whistled while driving towards Los Angeles.

Back in Hollywood, I happened to go to Aunt Saizeriya's Italian restaurant for a meal.

Henry loves coming here because he doesn't know if the Italian food here is authentic, but it's really delicious. And every time he comes, he can practice his Italian in different ways.

For example, he practiced Italian men's techniques for picking up girls with Aunt Saizeriya's husband and then used them on Aunt Saizeriya. This magical thing that sounds like magic actually happened in the restaurant.

The Italian couple didn't take it seriously, but rather found it amusing. At least when Henry praised Aunt Salia's beauty or cooking skills, the uncle always looked proud.

All I can say is that Henry still needs to learn about the Italians' romance.

Chapter 71 A Different Job Invitation

I went to the Actors Guild again, planning to tease Marian with my newly learned tricks, and also to see if there was any new recruitment information.

But the clerk who always sat behind the counter disappeared today and was replaced by a middle-aged man wearing square-framed glasses.
