Hufflepuff in the Marvel Universe

"If this is your choice." Gu Zhongyan said meaningfully.

Not knowing what Gu Zhongyan meant by saying this, Peter left the research behind without saying a word. When he got home, he dug out the Parker couple's inheritance, and as expected, found clues.

In the original plot, Peter could find the true legacy of the Parkers by himself, not to mention that Gu Zhongyan was here this time.

While guiding Peter to search for his parents' inheritance, Gu Zhongyan did not forget to connect with another person.

The son of the chairman of the Osborne Group, the little Green Goblin Harry Osborne.

Harry Osborn is not yet Spider-Man's mortal enemy, the Green Goblin. Like Peter, he is also a student at Empire State University.

It's just that their majors are different. He is destined to inherit his father's business. He is currently studying for a double degree in finance and management to prepare for taking over the Osborne Group in the future.

However, due to the recent deterioration of Norman Osborn's situation, the situation of the Osborne Group is somewhat turbulent. Harry has to take care of his studies and family affairs at the same time. It can be said that his feet are busy.

Gu Zhongyan's contact with him was very simple. Due to the company's business, the Osborne Group often held some cocktail parties.

With Gu Zhongyan's strength, it was not difficult to get himself an invitation or find a way to sneak in, so he successfully met the blond boy leaning on the balcony with a sad look on his face.

"I'm very curious as to what exactly could make Mr. Osborne, the winner of life, look like this. Could it be that the girl he loved rejected the invitation to the graduation prom?"

A teasing voice rang in his ears, Harry Osborne frowned, turned around, and saw an Asian young man with an extraordinary temperament leaning on the doorpost, looking at him with a joking look.

"Who are you?" Harry asked.

Gu Zhongyan stood up straight and walked over, extending his hand and saying: "Sean Gu, I think you should have heard of my name."

Harry suddenly said, "I know you, Peter's friend, why are you here?"

The hostility in his eyes receded a little, and Harry shook hands with Gu Zhongyan in a good-natured manner, with a bit of doubt in his eyes.

It’s not that I’m questioning why students appear on such occasions, but that most of the second-generation rich people who appear here are management and finance students.

Gu Chongyan, a student with outstanding academic performance, rarely appears at such commercial receptions unless it is to solicit sponsorship for his own research.

However, looking at Gu Chongyan's appearance, it seems that this is not the reason.

"Of course, it's because I want to help you." Gu Zhongyan smiled.

"Help me?" Harry became even more confused.

Holding a goblet and swaying it casually, Gu Zhongyan took a sip of the sweet wine. He glanced at the silver-haired old man in the center of the crowd and said with a smile: "You are envious, right? You are obviously the Osborne Group.

His heir, but at the center of this banquet is an outsider."

"He can be in the center of the reception, accepting overtures from everyone, but you can only sit in this corner and feel sorry for yourself. You must be very unwilling to do so."

The smile on Harry's face froze instantly, his eyes showed a bit of hostility, and he said stiffly:

"What do you mean, did you come to ridicule me on purpose?"

"No, no, no." Gu Zhongyan shook his head and said sincerely: "I said, I am here to help you. You are Peter's friend, and I am also Peter's friend. Even with this relationship, I will not ridicule you.

.”

"I just want to ask, do you want to change this situation and become the focus of everyone's attention like him?" Gu Zhongyan said, pouting towards the center of the crowd.

Harry opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally said with a bit of anger and frustration: "Of course I want to, but the old men in the company don't obey me. No matter what I do or what I say, they won't accept it."

There are a lot of truths waiting for me."

"Especially that guy."

Harry cast an unwilling look at the silver-haired old man in the center of the crowd, "He occupies the position of CEO, vetoes my proposals time and time again, and always uses his status as a student and his age to suppress me. I have no way to interfere with anything in the company."

matter."

"It's normal." Gu Zhongyan said slowly: "Once an emperor and a courtier, from a country to a group, changes in the controller are bound to mean changes in personnel."

"When stiff-minded old diehards face a change of power, their first reaction is to protect their own interests."

"Compared with the creativity, vitality and drive of young people, they are more rigid and refuse to change."

"Although you are the heir to the Osborne Group, you have never managed the company. The CEO has been sitting in this position for twenty years, and you have already established deep roots. The forces underneath are deeply entangled."

"His status and existence represent the interests of the conservative side. Since they do not want change, they will naturally suppress your rights."

"But I am the heir to the Osborne Group." Harry said angrily with his eyes widened.

"So what?" Gu Zhongyan asked, "You also said that you are only the heir to the Osborne Group, not the owner of the Osborne Group."

"Besides, even the owner of the Osborne Group still needs support from the lower levels when managing the company. Otherwise, do you expect your company to be just an empty shell and you have to do everything yourself?"

"This, this?" Harry was speechless.

Even though he received the most elite education, in the final analysis he was still a young boy under twenty years old.

The world of young people is always upright and straightforward. This kind of intrigue among adults sometimes seems too complicated for them.

"Can it be that I really can't do anything but be a mascot?" Harry said unwillingly.

"Of course not, am I here to help you?" Gu Zhongyan said.

"You?" Harry subconsciously looked at Gu Zhongyan. He had been repeating this topic from the moment he appeared until now, but Harry never thought about what he could really do.

But repeating it again and again made him somewhat moved, and he couldn't help but ask: "How are you going to help me?"

Gu Zhongyan said: "It's very simple, two choices."

"First, keep a low profile and bide your time, sleep on your salary and taste your courage."

"You are the heir to the Osborne Group. This is your natural advantage, and it is also a fact that no one can change."

"As long as you are willing to wait, start accumulating strength from now on, learn how to infiltrate the Osborne Group, and when Mr. Norman retires, it will be your time to take control and flex your muscles."

"That's it? According to you, what's the difference between me and me now?" Harry frowned. Obviously, for a young and energetic young man, this kind of accumulated experience is not satisfactory to him.
