Marvel Little Genius

"I'd like a drink, how about you?"In order to cover up the embarrassment caused by the behavior just now, Pepper offered to have a drink.

"As it happens, so am I. What do you want to drink? I'll get it for you." Tony came back to his senses. Although he was annoyed at his stupid behavior just now, in order to maintain his demeanor in front of the one he loved, Tony responded calmly.

"I'll have a vodka martini with more dried olives, at least three"

"OK!"

……

"Two vodka martinis with dried olives, please hurry. Right one of those heavy olives."Tony put the tip in front of the bartender and let out a deep breath. He was so nervous just now. Tony never thought that at that moment, Pepper would just lean over and prepare to kiss him. I really didn't know what it was like. It's not a test. If it was, then he must have failed just now.

While Tony was thinking wildly, a female reporter dressed very fragrantly came to the bar after seeing Tony's back,"Wow, Tony... Tucker! It's nice to see you here and there"

"Oh, hello, you're Carly.……"After seeing the other person's face, Tony had a vague impression in his mind, but he couldn't remember the other person's name.

"Christine." Before Tony could finish guessing his name while pretending to know him, the female reporter Christine directly revealed her name. She also knew that it was impossible for a playboy like Tony Stark to remember someone like her. It’s the name of a nobody, even if I had a one-night stand with him.

Tony:"That’s right, I just wanted to call him that.""

"You seem very nervous when you show up here tonight? Can you at least let me see a little reaction from you?"As a reporter, Kristen has amazing observation skills and immediately discovered the unnaturalness in Tony's expression.

"As you can see, nervousness, I guess nervousness is my reaction."Tony didn't want to tell a reporter about his failed kiss just now, because if he did, it would definitely appear on the front page of the entertainment section the next day, letting everyone in the world know about it.

"But I have been hearing lately that Stark Industries was involved in this latest atrocity. Is this the responsibility you are talking about?"Even if Tony doesn't want to reveal his thoughts anymore, as a reporter, Christine will not let it go to dig out the content she wants from Tony.

"Atrocities? Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about. I haven't dealt with the company's affairs for a long time. I have been staying at home to do private research."Tony was confused by the other party's words. He didn't understand what this so-called [atrocity] referred to.

Christine handed a stack of photos to Tony,"This is a small town called Gumila. , have you heard of it?"

Of course Tony has heard of it, and he deeply remembers that Gumila is the hometown of his savior, Dr. Ethan. Since the two successfully rescued themselves, they separated and have not seen each other again. At that time, Ethan said that all his family members had already died. After dying at the hands of terrorists, he wanted to return to his hometown to protect more people and not let them experience the pain he had endured. Before leaving, Tony also gave Mark a magical suit specially made for him as a gift. Dr. Ethan hoped to help him and protect his life.

But when Tony looked at a photo handed over by Christine in his hand, he looked at the houses that had been bombarded by artillery fire with only broken walls remaining. , looking at the tragic scene with corpses strewn all over the place, and looking at the close-up of the big words"Stark Industries" on the weapons used by the terrorists, Tony was no longer angry and seemed a little calm.

"When were these photos taken?"Tony stared at the photo in his hand and asked Christine in a cold tone.

Christine:"Yesterday"

"I have not approved any shipments. Tony looked into her eyes and explained.

Christine:"But your company approved it!""

"My company is not equal to me!"After saying this, Tony stopped entangled with the female reporter Christine, and even forgot about the wine he promised to bring to Pepper.

He took these photos and went directly to the red carpet in front of the Disney Concert Hall. In front of Obadiah who was being interviewed, I asked him:"Have you seen these photos? How is this going?"

Obadiah first calmly led Tony to distance himself from the reporters, and then said seriously:"Tony, Tony, calm down, stop being so naive."

"So true! ? I used to be very naive. When you said,"This is our bottom line, we cannot cross it, this is the way we do business," I actually believed it. I was very naive at that time.

There is still half a sentence you haven’t told me, right? [Unless we are doing double-sided transactions secretly】……is that so?"

Faced with Tony's pressing inquiries, Obadiah did not show any nervousness about anything being revealed. He approached Tony's ear and whispered softly:"Tony, who do you think the board of directors signed the injunction against you? of? I am the one who signed the injunction. That is the only way I can protect you. Can you understand my painstaking efforts?"

After Obadiah finished speaking, he patted Tony on the shoulder, raised a meaningful smile on his lips, then boarded the car and left the venue, leaving only Tony who was stunned and still unable to recover.

"Hey! Dad, what are you doing here?"Suddenly Mark's familiar voice came from behind, awakening Tony who was in a daze.

After Mark returned to his senses, Tony still remained silent and slapped him hard on the back.

"Hiss~ It hurts me so much, what are you doing, you brat!"

"Why are you pretending to be melancholy? You are not Robert Baggio, the Prince of Melancholy. Just now, Sister Pepper ran over to me and asked me where you were. I helped you smooth things over and said you had gone to the toilet.

I didn't expect that you would take the opportunity for Pepper to lie alone on the terrace, but you still had time to daze here. If you are misunderstood that you are loving and hooking up with other women, I won't explain it to you."

"Oops! Forgot the vodka martini promised to Pepper. Come with me and give the wine to Pepper, we're going home."Tony took Mark's hand and walked into the concert hall.

"So fast, you haven’t had time to make a scene yet?"Looking at the complicated expression on Tony's face, Mark couldn't remember what happened that made him suddenly change.

"We need to make a scene, but not here, we have to change places. My company has made a mistake, and it’s up to me to make it right."
