I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor
Chapter 166 Reunion
In an instant, Raymond had a lot to explain. He wanted to explain that he was completely sincere to Gwen; he wanted to explain that he just wanted to use Stark's resources to achieve his own goals and had no intention of plotting against the Stark family property. meaning; he also wanted to explain that he did not want to take over the spotlight, nor did he deliberately replace all the key positions in Stark Industries with people he was familiar with and comfortable with...
He also wanted to explain that the conflicts between himself and Pepper were normal work conflicts. The two of them had never blushed because of a quarrel over personal matters. He also wanted to explain that he was just not with Pepper that day, which led to her accident.
But...what's the use of these?
All the other party has to do is to plant an innate impression on Stark, and then use a series of facts to detonate this impression - now Stark's impression of himself has become the second Obadiah, in this way Given the preconceived impression, what can I explain clearly?
Even if he can explain everything legally, Stark is not a person who trusts the court wholeheartedly now, and he has already doubted himself.
That's enough to kill everything.
Trusting yourself is no longer a question of whether you can, but a question of whether you dare.
——Stark, you trust him, but if he fails you, can you afford the consequences? Look at Pepper! Even if the existing evidence is not enough to prosecute him, so what?
Just suspicion is enough to kill everything!
Raymond was silent for about half a minute, and just when Stark came forward to pull him out, the professor - or the former professor slowly opened his mouth and said: "Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity. "
Stark was stunned. Raymond took a step back and nodded gently to him: "I am only twenty-four years old. I never thought that I could be in charge of such a large group at this age, and I never thought that I would be able to take charge of such a large group at this age. My loyal lover will be my student... Maybe all this has made me go to my head, so I can only ask for your forgiveness for any inappropriate behavior."
Stark looked into Raymond's black eyes, but only saw an unrivaled calm in them.
"Since the trust between us has collapsed, I choose to resign to you, please save the last bit of dignity for me." Raymond continued to say calmly.
Tony Stark's eyes flickered back and forth between Raymond Xu in front of him and Pepper Potts lying unconscious on the bed. After a while, he sighed and nodded: "Okay!"
Raymond nodded to him and strode out.
Stark looked back at the young man's back. Raymond usually kept his back straight, as if he had received military training, but today when he walked out, his back was particularly bleak and hunched.
"The evidence you need is a cigarette butt."
Before Raymond opened the door, Stark finally answered his question: "A cigarette butt with your DNA appeared at the scene of the fire. And you couldn't explain the time when you were away from everyone. , what did you do, so the NYPD is suspicious of you."
Stark spoke candidly - this was the last bit of affection between the two after Raymond confessed to him about his resignation.
Raymond paused for a moment. He did not look back, but said in a low voice: "Thank you, sir."
After Raymond walked out, Stark remembered that there was one more reason why he had to fire Raymond Xu——
Stark Industries can no longer get involved in the dangerous power struggles within the federal government!
----Dividing line----
The news that Raymond Xu officially resigned from Stark Industries quickly spread across the United States. Even Helen Zhao who was far away at the Houston Space Center heard about it.
Of course, this incident was accompanied by an uneasy atmosphere in Professor Xu's "Future Laboratory". This laboratory is the main force of the "Starlink" project, and "Starlink" was promoted by Raymond Xu. flagship project, in the current environment where everyone is pushing for it, no one knows whether "Starlink" can continue to advance.
It is even said that not only the "Starlink" project, but also the entire laboratory may be disbanded by Stark at any time. They are now leaderless, trembling like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The work in the laboratory has actually stopped for several days. No one contacted Raymond, and no one wanted to have anything to do with him at this time. Everyone sat down and watched where the storm in New York would blow. .
Quentin Baker, who was good at speculation and used to adapt to the situation, was the mainstream of this group of people. At that time, Raymond valued Quentin Baker because of his technical achievements in holographic projection and neural networks, and also believed that this The man is actually a wretch who has been tricked by Stark's arrogance, thinking that he still has room for redemption under his own hands.
But now in the laboratory, among the people engaged in the "anti-Xu movement", he is the most energetic.
"Listen to me, we might as well write down the various anomalies that Xu and Gwen showed in the laboratory and hand them over to Mr. Stark or the media. In this case, our laboratory can distance itself from that Xu," The Chain' project will be saved from being disbanded!"
Quentin Baker mobilized everyone who was dejected, using his very contagious voice to incite everyone: "Xu is not the king anyway... Besides, it is the 21st century now, and no one cares about loyalty to the king. Bar?"
"But we can't add insult to injury, and Gwennie is innocent!" Felicia argued on the side. The girl came to Houston with the intention of taking a vacation on a business trip, but she didn't expect to be met with such a big blow. Changes have made his job as a casual worker increasingly precarious.
"Gwen is innocent, but aren't we all innocent?" Quentin Baker turned to Felicia and argued with the silver-haired girl in a louder voice, "Besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Xu is not as good as a TV speech. Saying impassionedly that he is loyal to Gwen Stacy? Maybe this is a good opportunity to save his image points!"
After Quentin Baker said this, everyone was a little excited - in fact, many people were already thinking about cutting off from Raymond Xu, but they were emotionally sorry and lacked a reason to convince themselves. Now that Quentin Baker has found out this reason, there is no need for him to hide it.
At this time, Helen Zhao opened the door to the lounge and walked in. Since no one was working in the laboratory, all the work fell on her. Therefore, the doctor stayed up late for two consecutive days and was extremely busy.
Helen Zhao is now also the implicit leader of the laboratory when Raymond Xu is away. The final opinions of everyone in the laboratory must be expressed through her. So, Quentin Baker looked at the tired doctor eagerly and spoke to her impassionedly again: "Consider our proposal, doctor!"
Helen Zhao raised her eyelids and looked at the eyes looking at her. Recently, in order to get rid of the pain of "broken love", she chose to numb herself with work, but the price was that the doctor, who was one year younger than Raymond Xu, seemed to have aged ten years suddenly these days.
"After the work is completed, there will be a solution." Zhao Hailun replied weakly, "I haven't slept for two days. Go back and rest for a while. Call me in three hours."
"This is a major matter that determines the life and death of our laboratory!" Quentin Baker reached out and took Helen Zhao's arm, who was about to go back to sleep. "Doctor, as the backbone of everyone, you have to give your thoughts, right?"
Helen Zhao let out a long sigh, turned around and said, "I have already stated my thoughts. The 'Star Chain' will have results, and I will give you the results."
"It's not Starlink, it's a laboratory!" Quentin emphasized again.
"Same!" Helen Zhao's voice also became louder. After working hard for days, she was repeatedly pestered, and she finally became angry: "I know you don't want to have anything to do with Raymond Xu now, but what we are doing is It’s just scientific research, you have to start and finish everything, haven’t your parents ever taught you that?”
Helen Zhao turned around, raised her eyebrows, and raised her voice: "Furthermore, the outside world doesn't know what kind of people Raymond and Gwen are. How can we, who live with them day and night, not know? The two of them - —Especially Gwen, they all regard us as friends, but have we fulfilled half of our obligations as friends?"
"Quentin——" Helen Zhao turned to the man who was attacking her, "Aren't you afraid that there will be no results? Then let me tell you, if Raymond can't do this project, then I will use my own company to do it until a certain point. Until we get a result!"
----Dividing line----
Raymond refused the driver who wanted to take him back, and the former CEO felt a little lost as he walked on the road.
He remembered that Gwen had warned him many times to "don't smoke". At that time, he just regarded it as a girl's habit and ignored it.
He was always under a lot of pressure, and when Kingpin persuaded him time and time again that "this thing at least relieves the pressure," he finally couldn't help but take a bite and fell for it.
To this day, this cigarette... this lighter seems to be more than a simple recreational tool. The professor took out the lighter that Kingpin gave him. In fact, from the other party's familiarity with the psychology of Stark, Pepper Potts and him, we can know that that person is definitely quite familiar with Stark. industry.
Therefore, his identity is easily revealed - Jin Bing.
Wilson Fisk helped him deal with many things that he did not do well or even did not cleanly during the reorganization of Stark Industries. Behind his glory, there were many rogue methods that relied on Kingpin. Therefore, in the end, I will succeed or fail.
But Gwen... Although she knew very little about this matter, Spider Girl used her keen sixth sense to warn him from the beginning. But he turned a deaf ear to it and was completely unsuspecting, thinking that he could control everything.
Now, I have nowhere to go.
"Hey!" A voice suddenly woke up the professor who was deep in thought. The owner of the voice sounded like someone he was very familiar with. Her voice was a bit teasing, but it actually stabilized Raymond's mood: " Boy, it’s so late, why don’t you go home?”
Raymond's breathing stopped. He raised his head and saw Spider-Woman's heroic and slender figure standing on the eaves with her arms folded in the moonlight.
