"I know this person."

"Who is it?" Turning his head over and looking at the man standing side by side with Maya Hansen in the photo, Stark commented disdainfully: "Bad taste, tsk tsk, I guess he and Justin Han

The default stylist is the same."

"Can't you keep some moral integrity?" Pepper patted Stark gently and smiled angrily: "Well, the color of his suit is not quite right."

"Anyone named Stark will never make aesthetic mistakes." Stark smiled proudly, and held Pepper's right hand tightly: "Doubting my aesthetics is tantamount to questioning yourself.

Not good enough... So, who is this guy?"

"Aldrich Killian... Twelve or thirteen years ago, before I entered the Stark Group, I once interned in a small company for a period of time. He was one of the colleagues I met at that time.

one."

"When you just graduated from college?"

"Um."

Arranged according to the timeline, it was Stark who first let go of Aldrich Killian at the Science and Technology Exchange Summit, leaving a bone-deep resentment in his heart, and then Pepper and

Aldrich Killian's acquaintance. As for Pepper being poached to join the Stark Group, Killian's founding of Pioneer Technology, the company called AIM, was a further event.

It is precisely because of this sequence that Aldridge Killian was snubbed by Stark.

On the contrary, if he had gotten to know Pepper first, he would be less likely to be ignored by Stark like that.

It's not that with Pepper's face, Killian will definitely be able to attract investment from Stark. After all, that was more than ten years ago, and Pepper has only gradually become Stark in recent years.

The biggest concern in Ke's heart.

Going back a few years, not to mention the time when she first joined, even seven or eight years ago, Pepper was not qualified to influence Stark's will. He was just a 'little assistant who was relatively easy to use'.

The most she had at that time was that Stark could only tell the truth, instead of ignoring the other person's self-esteem by talking nonsense like in the original plot.

Just not lying to others, not even treating each other with courtesy, let alone asking Stark to put down his dignity and accept the application to achieve cooperation.

"What a coincidence."

He knows Maya Hansen, and Pepper knows Aldrich Killian, but these two people appear in the same photo... He is just a little surprised by this coincidence, and Stark has not yet recognized the person in the photo.

Killian, and even failed to match him up with the extremely embarrassed figure in the memory fragments.

To be precise, he didn't even realize that he had ever met Killian.

After all, he drank a lot at the time and was anxious to have sex with Maya Hansen. His mind was confused and his consciousness was far less clear than usual. In addition, his conversation with Killian only lasted two or three sentences, and the contact time was even longer.

It's as short as just a few seconds...

It is no exaggeration to say that if Killian hadn't given the hint himself and the situation at that time was very unfavorable to Stark and made him feel that his life was threatened, he would have had to fight whether he could recall Killian as a person in the original plot.

question mark.

He didn't even remember whether he had met him, so he naturally didn't expect that he was actually considered an enemy by Killian. However, seeing that Pepper actually remembered Killian as a person, Stark couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Be concerned.

"What does he do? He looks like an agent selling houses."

"What kind of agency? He is also engaged in research. If I remember correctly, he should be an expert in biochemistry." Pepper shook his head: "The company I used to intern at has business cooperation with several large institutions.

Although I have never participated in research work and have always worked in the administrative department, and because of my short qualifications, I have not been exposed to many secrets. However, I have always handled some business and have some understanding of the researchers in the company.

"

"Expert?" Staring at Aldridge Killian in the photo twice, Stark shook his head with disdain: "I really didn't see it."

"Okay, okay, you are the best, okay." Feeling the jealousy in Stark's words, Pepper felt quite relieved. However, the good habits she usually developed made her unable to help herself.

I want to criticize Stark in two words: "Don't always put others down so low. I've reminded you so many times, don't be sarcastic about others and make yourself enemies."

"Anyway, I said it in my own home, and no one knows, so what's the point... Okay, okay, you have the final say."

He didn't continue to argue with Pepper, but that didn't mean that Stark's jealousy had calmed down.

Plus a little bit of worry about Pepper bringing up Maya Hansen again...

Stark rolled his eyes, raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Jarvis, can you find this guy's detailed information?"

"Um?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little curious." He smiled at Pepper and tightened his arms: "Didn't you just say that he is an expert in research? Experts, more than ten years have passed.

There must be some achievements...and, as a former colleague, aren't you curious about what achievements he has achieved?"

Before Pepper could respond, Jarvis had dug out another pile of information.

It is worth mentioning that while Jarvis cut through the page to sort out the information, he also gave a report: "Sir, I found some suspicious content and some encrypted files."

In conjunction with Jarvis's report, two rows of thumbnails were arranged in front of Stark and Pepper.

The top row is light blue. There are several edges leaking out of the folder-like icon. It seems that this corresponds to the 'suspicious content' mentioned in Jarvis' report.

The thumbnails in the row below are all dark red. Obviously, these are secret files that need to be decrypted before they can be opened for browsing.

"Really?" Stark raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and clicked on a folder in the row above, and smiled at Pepper: "It seems that your former colleague is indeed a bit...

Is your ability suspicious? Haha, a project developed by an ordinary researcher would not receive such a high evaluation from Jarvis..."

With his eyes on Pepper's face, Stark was negligent and did not check the contents of the folder immediately.

then.

"Um?"

"Ugh~~~!"

There was a moment of daze, then sudden panic, and then, before Stark could react, Pepper had already raised her hand to cover her mouth, retching and escaping from his arms.
