Marvel Little Genius

Mark was excited because he didn't expect to encounter such a good opportunity. If he had proposed the name SHIELD, he would feel proud just thinking about it. After all, he was involved in it.

"It's a good name, simple and direct, with profound meaning. I will suggest it to my superior. Thank you again."

"I feel good too. What does SHIELD want from me?" Tony took a sip of wine and asked Coulson.

Colson: "That's right. I know this period of time is difficult for you, but I still have to ask you about some situations. There are still many unresolved things. Of course, time is also an issue. We still record it. Order something. How about meeting at Stark Industries at 7pm on the 24th?"

Tony stretched out his right hand and shook it with Colson: "Guess what, I think what you said is right, and I agree. Now I'm going to go to my secretary and finalize the matter."

After speaking, Tony walked towards Pepper, who was wearing a blue silk backless evening gown, and even Mark on the side had forgotten where he was.

"I guess he will have completely forgotten about this by then." Mark, who was left where he was, patted Colson's arm and talked to him.

"Why?" Colson was a little confused.

"Didn't you see that when he listened to you just now, his confused little eyes were taken away by Pepper's back? Hey, you can become an agent with such insight. I think you should be a negotiator. An expert is more suitable. You have a special temperament that makes it easy for people to get close to you."

"Thank you for the reminder, but I will still go to the appointment on time. And don't look at me like this. I am also an experienced old agent. Of course, I can be a negotiator. But why are you so late? If you come out with Mr. Stark, won't you feel less energetic in class tomorrow?"

"Oh, look, as an agent, you want to ask my father for the answers you need, but you don't even know whether his illegitimate son is in school. You still say that you are an experienced old agent? Beforehand The investigation work was too perfunctory." Mark pretended to be disappointed and shook his head. He just felt a little bored and wanted to kill time with Coulson.

"I just want to ask Mr. Stark about how he escaped from the terrorists, not to investigate his personal situation. Under normal circumstances, our special departments will still abide by the law's protection of citizens' privacy rights.

But it looks like you stopped going to school before you reached adulthood. Did you graduate early like Mr. Stark? "

"No, I have never been to school at all. I have been studying at home since I was a child. Everything taught in school is something I have already mastered. Why should I go to school? Isn't it a waste of time?" Mark's sudden pretense Rufeng actually left Coulson speechless. This time, he really had to smile in embarrassment instead of politely.

…

On the other side, Tony relied on his gaze that had been locked on Pepper to navigate and came to the goddess: "Hey, you are so beautiful tonight, I don't even have anyone to come out."

"Why are you here?" Pepper seemed very surprised that Tony showed up at the party. After all, Tony's schedule was arranged by her.

Tony: "I'm hiding from a government agent."

Pepper: "Did you come alone?"

Tony: "No - I came here with Mark. Where did you get that dress?"

Pepper's expression suddenly felt awkward: "This is my birthday gift. In fact, you asked me to give it to myself on your behalf."

At that time, Tony was busy tinkering with his own black technology. When he heard that Pepper was about to celebrate her birthday, he said to her, "Send you a birthday gift instead of me." However, Pepper was indeed a competent secretary, and even such a thing could not be done. Really done it for Tony.

"It seems I have pretty good taste. Do you want to dance?" But Tony didn't feel embarrassed at all. He was used to Pepper solving everything for him, even if it would make an originally romantic thing become very romantic. Boring.

"Oh, no," Pepper refused immediately.

"Okay, come on." Tony took the initiative to hold her hand and pulled her towards the dance floor.

"Thanks, Mr. Stark. But no thanks."

But obviously, Tony, who has entered the domineering mode, will not listen to the other party's rejection. Tony put his arm around Pepper's waist and the two of them swayed on the dance floor.

"You look uncomfortable?" Tony asked, feeling Pepper's stiffness and unnatural expression.

"No... I just always forget to put on deodorant, and now I'm dancing with my boss..." Pepper explained hesitantly, without telling the real reason.

In fact, dancing with a boss like Tony in a backless evening gown is a serious problem. For a secretary like Pepper, who has always been very dedicated and professional, this would cause people to point fingers at her and gossip about her.

"You look beautiful and smell great. But I can fire you if it makes you feel better." Tony's words showed that he understood what Pepper had just said, but he did not stop When dancing with Pepper, he didn't care what others said, because now he only had eyes for Pepper in front of him.

Feeling the concern in Tony's eyes, Pepper also relaxed herself and joked: "In fact, I don't think you can even tie your own shoelaces without me."

Tony: "I can last a week."

"Really? I don't believe it." Pepper asked in Lu Yu's way: "Do you know your social security number?"

"...Do you want to go out for some air?" Unable to answer, Tony once again used the trick of changing the subject.

"Okay, I also want to go out and get some air."

When he came to the corner on the terrace, where there were only two people, Pepper said something he was embarrassed to say in public: "I feel weird. It seems like everyone who works with me is looking at the two of us."

"Why, are we just dancing?"

"No, it's not just dancing. Because you are you and everyone knows who you are and how you treat girls.

And that's fine, but you know, to me you're my boss and I'm dancing with you..."

"I don't think they're going to get it wrong."

"But that would make me look like the guy who wants... you know, a sugar daddy. And I'm wearing this ridiculous skirt..." As he spoke, he looked at the focused look in Tony's eyes in front of him, With only her own figure reflected in her eyes, Pepper closed her eyes unconsciously and slowly moved her lips closer to Tony.

However, Tony became nervous at this time. His body was as stiff as a zombie that had just woken up from a coffin, and he did not respond to Pepper's initiative at all.

Finally Pepper stopped, a little disappointed with Tony's performance. She even believed that Tony might have some different feelings for her, but now she was not sure what Tony was planning. This man who could sleep with female models on magazine covers for a year could really have an affection for her. Sincerely?

Chapter 22

"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 something to drink.

"As it happens, so am I. If you want something 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 also said the same thing. Dan Fengqing responded.

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

"OK!"

…

"Two vodka martinis with dried olives, please hurry up. One of the heavy olives, by the way." Tony placed the tip in front of the bartender and then breathed a deep sigh of relief. He was too nervous just now. Tony never thought that at that moment, Pepper would just lean in and prepare to kiss him. He really didn't know if it was a test. If it was, then he must have failed just now.

While Tony was thinking wildly, a female reporter who was dressed very coquettishly came to the bar after seeing Tony's back, "Wow, Tony Stark! It's great to see you here."

"Oh, hello, you are Carly..." After seeing the other person's face, Tony had a vague impression in his mind, but he could not remember the other person's name.

"Christine." Before Tony could finish guessing her name while pretending to know her, female reporter Christine revealed her name directly. She also knew that it was impossible for a playboy like Tony Stark to remember the name of a little person like herself, even if she had a one-night stand with him.

Tony: "Yes, that's what I was about to call you."

"You look very nervous when you show up here tonight? Can you at least let me see a little reaction from you?" As a reporter, Christine's observation was astonishing and she immediately noticed something in Tony's demeanor. Unnatural.

"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 go viral the next day. Appear on the front page of the entertainment section and let people all over the world know.

"But I have been hearing recently that Stark Industries was involved in this recent atrocity. Is this the responsibility you said?" Even if Tony no longer wants to reveal his thoughts, as a reporter, Christine is He will not let go of digging out the content he wants from Tony.

"Atrocities? I'm 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 at all. Understand what this so-called [atrocity] refers to.

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

Of course Tony had heard of it, and he vividly remembered Gumila as the hometown of his savior, Dr. Ethan. Since the two successfully rescued themselves, they separated from each other and have not seen each other again.

At that time, Ethan said that his family had died at the hands of terrorists, and 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 named Mark as his A specially made magical suit was given to Dr. Ethan as a gift, hoping to help him 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, looked at the tragic scene of corpses strewn on the ground, and looked at the horror in it. A close-up of the big words "Stark Industries" on the weapons used by the elements showed that Tony was no longer angry but seemed a little calm.

"When were these photos taken?" Tony asked Christine in a cold tone, staring at the photos in his hands.

Christine: "Yesterday."

"I didn't approve any shipments," Tony explained, looking into her eyes.

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 give to Pepper.

He brought these photos directly to Obadiah, who was still being interviewed on the red carpet in front of Disney Concert Hall, and asked him: "Have you seen these photos? What's going on?"

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

"Too 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? "

Facing Tony's pressing questioning, 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?" ? I am the one who signed the injunction, that is the only way I can protect you, can you understand my painstaking efforts?"

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

"Hey! Dad, why are you dazed here?" Suddenly Mark's familiar voice came from behind, waking up Tony who was in a daze.

Mark Jian Tony still didn't say a word after he came to his senses, 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 depressed? You are not Robert Baggio, the prince of depression. Just now, Sister Pepper ran over to me and asked me where you were. I helped you smooth things over and said you went 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 it is misunderstood that you are overflowing with love and hooking up with other women, I won't help you explain. "

"Oops! I forgot to promise Pepper the vodka martini. Come with me and give the wine to Pepper. We are going home." Tony took Mark's hand and walked into the concert hall.

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

"We need to make a big fuss, but not here. We have to change places. My company has made mistakes, and it's up to me to save it."

Second update of the weekend (2000 words)

New book "Please give me flowers", "Please give me a subscription", "Please give me a monthly ticket"! .

Chapter 23

“The 15-mile hike to the outskirts of Gumila town can only be described as a [journey to hell]. Simple farmers and kind-hearted peasant women are constantly being expelled from their beloved and peaceful homes. .And their land was occupied by a group of warlords supported by emerging forces. The villagers were forced to find ways to find shelter in the wilderness.

According to the investigation, this series of violent actions were attributed to a foreign military gang, which was called the Ten Rings Gang by the locals. As you can see, these people are heavily armed and have a clear goal, and anyone who gets in the way of their goal must die.

Without political intervention and international pressure, these refugees have little hope..."

Tony listened to the news on TV about the [violent action] that Christine said, holding a partially assembled gauntlet in his hand for debugging, and the atmosphere was very silent.

Mark was silent next to him. He neither made any suggestions for what Tony was about to do, nor expressed sympathy for the experiences of the Gumila villagers on TV, because Mark now finally knew what happened to Tony's sudden mood change. What happened, and because of this incident, Mark III is about to make its debut.
