Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Luther's Wonderful Experience
Luther was convinced someone was targeting him.
First, the IRS suddenly said it would send someone to conduct an audit, which in itself is not a problem.
Lex Group is a large company with operations in many fields, including finance and real estate. These industries have complicated taxation procedures due to the nature of their business, and they encounter IRS tax audits several times a year.
As a person in the American business world who is interested in entering politics, Luther has always been legal and compliant with tax regulations. He does not need to assist in the investigation himself, as the financial department of the Lex Group will handle it.
But this time the IRS was not investigating the LexCorp, but Luthor's laboratories.
Not all of Luthor's laboratories are put to commercial use. Many of them are mainly used by Luthor for private research - also known as the "Kryptonian Increase and Reduction Plan" research.
But in the eyes of the IRS, Luther had spent a lot of money on breeding rooms and new laboratories over the years, but did not put them into commercial use, which was very suspicious of tax evasion, so they wanted to check the cash flow of these laboratories.
Although the IRS is world-renowned for being difficult and unreasonable, this does not cause any trouble for Luther. At most, he feels a little helpless.
Didn't he know about his own industry? If there was nothing, there was nothing. The "income" brought to him by those non-commercial laboratories was probably only the pocket money Connor got from Superman.
Considering that Connor does not pay his creators in any form, the income of those non-commercial laboratories is naturally zero.
Then suddenly there was a strange controversy on the Internet about Luther himself, and the content was even more bizarre, some of which were reasonable and some were comparable to wild history.
Among them, the more reasonable and also the most troublesome is that some people say that Luthor discriminates against Kryptonians and aliens and is a racist. From Luthor's hatred of Superman to discrimination against minorities and immigrants, this... is not difficult to understand.
After all, Krypton is gone. If you have to say, Superman is not only a "minority", but also a "refugee".
Precisely because this is not a complete rumor and involves a sensitive topic in this country in recent years, Luther will have to find a way to distinguish "aliens" from "racism" to the outside world, otherwise it will be detrimental to his future political activities.
If Luther could understand the fact that he "discriminated against minorities and immigrants", he would not understand another rumor that had recently emerged and spread widely.
When Luther first received the report, even with his ninth-level intelligence, he was stuck for a moment.
What does it mean to "push forcible love and substitute literature"? What is the "dual combination of sadomasochism and sadomasochism"?
The most annoying thing is that "he is a pedophile who also likes married women and NTR". What is this?
It turns out that when people see something extremely absurd, their first reaction is not anger, but confusion.
For example, Luther was now eager to know how these strange adjectives came about. Who had spread such outrageous rumors about him, and how?
Even the business war was outrageous. These things had no basis whatsoever; they were simply urban legends, spun by netizens eager to see the fun. And thanks to the instigation of those who just wanted to have fun, all sorts of explosive adaptations of the unofficial history have emerged.
Never underestimate the ability of humans to make things happen. Luther flipped through the information and found that the information he collected included but was not limited to:
"Superman rescued the woman whom Luthor had forced to love. During this process, the God of Men's strong physique and figure made Luthor realize that he was actually bisexual. Discovering that he had been turned gay, Luthor became furious and turned evil, and began to hate Superman and all aliens."
"Why doesn't Luthor wear a wig to preserve the history of his baldness? It's because Luthor is actually a Buddhist!"
"Why did Luther leave the child behind when he forced his love interest to escape? Because that poor person had no idea they had a child. Luther is actually an LGBT transgender person, and the child was Luther's own!"
......
These are obviously the creation of netizens, so it is not easy for Lex Group to send a lawyer's letter or issue a statement to refute the rumors - wouldn't that make people laugh?
Originally, the public relations department of Lex Group had no intention of sorting out these netizens' pranks, and didn't even pay attention to them. They noticed that many of them were using this kind of joking content to attract the attention of Lex Group and ask them to respond to the question of whether their boss's private life was a crime.
This involves the issue of illegitimate children.
U.S. law provides that illegitimate children and legitimate children have equal inheritance rights.
When it comes to property inheritance, this is not something the public relations department can decide privately. They need to ask the boss first.
So this information was handed to Luther.
According to the information, these outrageous rumors initially came from a live broadcast of an emotional tree hole blogger. The content described by the person on the microphone was extremely explosive, including "rich family turmoil", "hatred", "forced love" and some very tortured content.
Although the person on the live broadcast did not say who the "main person" was, this story with too many complete elements still attracted the keen attention and discussion of many famous detective netizens.
But these days, there are very few American celebrities who openly promote "racism", especially those who talk on the live broadcast saying that the melon owner is doing both business and politics, which is even rarer.
Logically, there should be only a few public figures in the United States who meet the requirements, but none of them meet the conditions mentioned by the person on the live broadcast: "always single in public", "has been in prison several times and released", and "male".
Just when many netizens thought the person on the microphone was just making up a story, one netizen suddenly said, "Wait, does Superman also have to be considered a minority and an immigrant?"
Enthusiastic netizens thought carefully - why can't it be counted?
And when they followed this line of thought, the person who matched the case most closely was Lex Luthor, Superman's mortal enemy, who had been unmarried for many years, who had been imprisoned and released by Superman many times, who was rich enough to rival a country and had participated in political elections!
However, since there is absolutely no evidence and these are purely speculations by netizens, not everyone believes that Lex was responsible. They just regard it as another piece of unconfirmed celebrity gossip and unofficial history.
But in the eyes of relevant insiders, what the person on the microphone said was that Luthor used Superman's genes to create Superboy!
This is not unofficial history, it is official history, and it is also fun.
After watching the entire live broadcast, Luther could guess who the people on the microphone were even without ninth-level intelligence... They were the young vigilantes with strange styles who had been running around Blüdhaven and Gotham recently, and the second speaker was "BEN 10" whom he had temporarily captured in Blüdhaven.
In fact, after Luthor used tricks and deception to temporarily capture the young Superman clone who called himself "BEN 10", he thought that he might face revenge or a conversation.
It could be that the person behind the scenes came up to talk to him, it could be Superman's warning, or it could be one of his own laboratories... In short, Luthor thought of many consequences and made corresponding response plans.
But a day passed, a week passed, a month passed... Luther was never found, no one even contacted him. He couldn't help but start to wonder if BEN 10 hadn't reported what happened that day at all.
Although he was envious of the genetic cloning technology there, Luther needed to manage the business, assign research tasks, attend public events, win over the public, and accept interviews... His schedule was full.
Without money, how would Luthor develop technology to fight Superman? How would he acquire kryptonite? How would he hire the best legal team to bail him out after being imprisoned?
Targeting Superman is indeed Luthor's interest and personal pursuit, but Luthor certainly cannot put the cart before the horse and live his life.
Only by managing your schedule can you target Superman sustainably.
Therefore, Luther postponed the priority of matters related to BEN 10 and the Magic Boy and continued to deal with his own affairs until his secretary handed him this information today.
Luther rubbed his brow and told the employees waiting for instructions to "ignore it."
This targeting is too naive and has almost no real impact on Luther. Sending people to do public relations and handle the matter will do more harm than good.
As mentioned earlier, how can Lexar Group do any public relations? A serious response to a "wild history" that few people take seriously and has no evidence would seem strange and could even be used by rival politicians to smear the company.
If you leave it alone, you can still gain some exposure and attention.
The next day, Luther was handling official business in his office, which was decorated in a low-key, luxurious and meaningful way. He found that right behind his desk, in the most conspicuous position in the office, there was a huge black question mark face with its upper teeth exposed.
It is posted on the outside of the glass curtain walls on dozens of floors, using double-sided perspective stickers that allow high-definition images to be seen both inside and outside the house.
The ingenuity of this picture does not end there. The black man's white teeth just match the smooth head of Luther who is sitting on it.
In other words, if Luther sat in that position, people who walked in through the gate would not see a simple black man with a question mark face emoticon, but a brand new black man. Eating Luther's head. Question mark face. emoticon!
This level of achievement can’t be considered an Easter egg, but it can also be considered a “white egg”.
"I'll go get someone to clean it up."
The secretary who entered the office with Luther quickly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and lowered the electric sunshade at the top, hiding the smile of the black man behind the white cloth.
Who on earth could have come up with such a childish and tasteless prank!
The secretary reacted quickly, but the sunshade blocks the sunlight, not the advertisements. Besides, the office is not a bedroom, so how could there be a strong blackout curtain that is like pulling down an eye mask?
Therefore, even if the secretary lowered all the electric blackout curtains in the office, Luther could still see a scaled-up black human silhouette behind his desk, which could make the hairless canary do somersaults.
Combined with the corresponding image layers, at first glance it looks as if Lex Luthor has awakened his stand.
