The Legendary Mechanic in Marvel Universe

Leo said that he wanted to have dinner together at night, not just nonsense, but that he had already discussed with several key management members a few days earlier.

The company has just started, and the current key management members will be the mainstay of the company in the future, so it is very important to do a good job in team building.

Because the meeting was on the way, and people were coming and going, Peter took the initiative to suppress his spider sense.

So he didn't realize that Leo had actually been standing not far away for a while, listening to his conversation with Otto.

Peter saw Leo and thought he had just come over.

At this time, I heard Leo invite him to dinner in the evening, as kind as he treats his employees.

Peter felt that since he didn't want to stay in El Technology, he might as well make the words clear now, so as not to disappoint Leo's heart.

"Mr. Erwin, thank you for your compliment, I just tried my best to do what I should do today."

Peter smiled humbly and continued,

"Also, I'm not going to attend the dinner party tonight.

And don't be angry, Mr. Erwin, I don't actually plan to work at Erwin in the future. "

After Peter finished speaking, he hurriedly explained again:

"Mr. Erwin, I'm not trying to say anything wrong with Erwin, I just have things I'm interested in to do.

In addition, thank you very much for your recognition and appreciation for me these days, but I really can't stay in your company. "

Leo laughed at Peter's serious explanation. No one could get angry with this cute and serious look.

Besides, Leo had no reason to be angry, after all, Peter did not sign any labor contract with ErTech.

"Peter, you don't want to continue working at El Tech, I've known it for a long time.

More than a week has passed, and you have not submitted a formal resume and cover letter to the personnel department. I have already been mentally prepared. "

Peter scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, expressing his apology again.

Leo touched his chin and thought for a while, then said:

"I just invited you to have dinner together at night, it is my euphemism to want to keep you again.

In fact, I am very optimistic about your ability and work style, and I believe that you will be able to achieve something in El Technology in the future.

However, everyone has their own aspirations. Since you have something you want to do, I will not force you. "

Leo took an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Peter,

"You did a good job today, here's what you deserve.

Originally, I was going to give it to you when we had dinner together at night, but since you don't want to go, I'll give it to you now.

Here's a total of two thousand dollars, and the extra is the bonus I promised you. "

Although Peter wanted to say that the money was too much, he took the envelope with the utmost honesty and put it in his arms.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Erwin."

With these two thousand dollars, at least his living expenses and rent for the next two or three months have been found.

Even get a decent present for Mary Jane.

"Peter, can you introduce me to this gentleman?"

Otto, who was standing next to him, was left to hang out by Peter and Leo for a long time, and couldn't help but take the initiative to show his presence.

Peter only remembered Otto at this time, suddenly reacted, and quickly introduced Otto and Leo.

"Dr. Octavius, this is Mr. Leo Erwin, and he is the actual person in charge of Erwin Technology.

Mr Erwin,

This is Dr. Otto Octavius, one of my university teachers. "

Otto took the initiative to say hello to Leo, and then shook hands warmly.

Leo unexpectedly found that Otto's palm was a little weak for some reason.

"Peter, is this the same university professor that Miss Jane mentioned last time, where you were a research assistant?"

"Yes, Professor Octavius ​​is an excellent research scholar, and I have worked with him during my university days."

Leo already had a draft in his heart, and at this moment he heard Peter's definite answer and asked directly:

"But I heard from Miss Jane last time that there were some problems with the funding of the scientific research project you participated in, Peter, and even the research could not be carried out."

Leo didn't wait for Peter to answer, he turned his head to Otto and said with a smile,

"Dr. Octavius, is that true? Wonder if I can help you?"

Since Otto saw just now that Leo gave Peter two thousand dollars unequivocally and distressed, he actually had some thoughts in his mind.

Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to ask Peter to introduce Leo's identity, nor would he have actively and enthusiastically greeted Leo.

You must know that most of the successful scientific research scholars are arrogant and self-improving. They will neither take the initiative to suppress anyone, nor take the initiative to flatter anyone.

Otto was also forced to do nothing by the funding problem, and he also had reasons to study this project.

At this time, Leo suddenly took the initiative to mention whether he could help, and was in line with Otto's mind.

Otto's character made him not reserved.

Besides, he was also afraid that if he was a little euphemistic, Leo would go down the slope and not mention help directly.

So, Otto said directly:

"Mr. Erwin means that he wants to provide me with funds to help me carry out the research project? Thank you very much."

Leo was stunned for a moment, and the manuscript he had prepared in his belly was suddenly stillborn.

Unexpectedly, Otto's desire for money was so urgent. Leo originally felt that he needed to spend a lot of words to convince Otto to accept his funding.

But this also proves from the side how important this project is to Otto.

Since Otto took the initiative to ask for Leo's help, Leo felt that it was necessary for him to turn his back on the guest and act appropriately.

Because people often take the initiative of others to help as a matter of course, and take the lead for themselves as gratitude.

This is also one of the few life philosophies that Leo understood in his previous life.

"Dr. Octavius, you're right, I do have plans in this regard, but I'm more looking at Mr. Peter Parker's face."

Leo quietly sent himself a nice card from Peter, and then continued,

"Also, don't worry, I want to invest in your research project.

However, I need to fully understand and examine your project before deciding how much to invest.

Note that I said investment, not funding. You know, I'm a businessman, so I need your projects to benefit me. "

Leo smiled and comforted Otto, and answered Otto's question ambiguous.

Otto calmed down for a while, and then realized that private investment and the scientific research funding support of the municipal government are not the same.

Because 100% of private investment is to make money.

As a university professor and a scientific researcher, Otto's starting point for the project did not make any money at all, and he could only be authentic:

"I don't know if my research project can make money, after all, as a scientific researcher, I don't care about the commercial value of the project itself.

However, I can describe to you what my research project is doing, and trust Mr. Erwin to judge for yourself. "

So, Otto carefully explained to Leo what he was doing.

As if applying for scientific research funding, Otto told Leo in an orderly manner, where the starting point of his research project was, how far it has progressed, and what results he expects to achieve.

Leo listened carefully, so he could tell that the Doctor Octopus in this world was not the character from the movie he was familiar with.

The Doctor Octopus of this world is less arrogant and genuinely treats Peter like a student.

In addition, what he is studying is not a tritium nuclear reactor that is difficult to control, but is devoted to researching and making mechanical prostheses that can be freely controlled by human nerve signals.

However, Leo has seen various adaptations about Doctor Octopus in his previous life, and the final outcome is that Doctor Octopus will definitely turn black.

Therefore, based on the law that Doctor Octopus will definitely be blackened, Leo felt that Otto never told the truth.

So, Leo thought for a while and asked:

"Dr. Octavius, I happen to have a good understanding of machinery, why don't you take me to your laboratory for a field visit?

In this way, I can also have a more intuitive evaluation and judgment on the commercial value of your research project. "

Otto has no choice but to invite Leo directly, and now he can visit the laboratory.

It's only nearly noon now, and it's still very early.

Leo nodded in agreement, and was about to call Bucky, who was still in the El Building, to accompany him to visit Dr. Octavius' laboratory.

Calling Bucky, of course, is Leo out of safety considerations.

Otherwise, if Dr. Octopus suddenly turned black today, and the four mechanical tentacles poked at Leo, Leo would find someone to reason with...

Hearing that Leo was going to invest in Dr. Octavius' project, Peter was of course very happy and naturally wanted to accompany Leo to the laboratory together.

So, the three of them negotiated properly and are ready to go now.

However, just as the three were about to leave, there were some small disturbances in the west of the venue.
