The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 146 Hearing

Just when the report letter written in Japanese caused an uproar in Los Angeles, Ling Xiao had already left Los Angeles and rushed to New York. On the one hand, he treated Stark and Pepper, and on the other hand, he also Avoid the storm that is about to be detonated.

The new year has gradually passed, and New York is extremely cold this winter. The raging north wind howls and blows all over the streets and alleys of New York. Ling Xiao has been in New York for two days, but he hasn't gone out. It's too cold to eat.

Especially since he had just come from such a warm environment as Los Angeles, he was a little uncomfortable with this kind of weather.

Even if he has a good cultivation, there is no need to find the guilt by himself, and once he gets sick, the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread, which is even more troublesome for the practitioner.

What's more, it's better for him to stay at home, he can practice while being accompanied by beautiful women, what a pleasure.

On January 1th, Ling Xiao drove to Stark Tower in advance, and Pepper's assistant Natalie Rushman was naturally the one who received him.

"Miss Potts will be here after the morning meeting, and Mr. Stark will be here a little later." Natasha took Ling Xiao directly to Pepper's office, which is a large room , the large floor-to-ceiling windows can clearly see the beautiful scenery outside.

"Ling, may I ask what ingredients are in the liquid medicine you use?" Natasha asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I used saffron, ginseng, velvet antler, donkey-hide gelatin, hippocampus, musk and other traditional Chinese medicine extracts, and blended them in appropriate proportions, and finally made such a bottle of liquid medicine." Ling Xiao said nonsense seriously : "Don't look at my asking price is very high, but the medicinal materials I use are all old and expensive, coupled with my pure acupuncture techniques, it is definitely worth 10 US dollars."

"Is that so?" Natasha frowned, but it's not good to ask any more questions. Any more questions should involve some of his secrets. Asking now will only arouse his vigilance, so she changed it wisely. How to ask: "Ling, have you registered a patent for this special medicinal solution of yours? If it is preempted by others, you will lose a lot."

"You don't understand, Natalie." Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said, "If I really registered a patent, it would be called bad luck. Some people can find a way to get what they want from the patent office, as long as They don't use it externally, who knows what they do. And for medicines, you only need to change one or two unimportant side drugs in the formula, increase or decrease the amount, and the effect of the medicine will not be too great difference. So it’s better for me to keep these things myself.”

Speaking, Ling Xiao subconsciously patted the medicine box he carried with him, looked at Natasha and smiled softly.

"Well, since you think so, then I won't say anything more, but Ling," Natasha suddenly approached Ling Xiao's face and said in a very seductive tone: "Why don't we do it again tonight?" Like? I'm looking forward to it!"

Natasha wore a light blue shirt today, and the top two buttons were all undone, and a deep gully flooded into Ling Xiao's eyes.

Even though Ling Xiao had a bad impression of Natasha in his mind, his eyes still fell down a little involuntarily in front of her beauty.

"It's still the same time and place, right?" Natasha said, with a smug smile on her lips.

"Okay, I'll wait for you tonight." Ling Xiao felt a little unbearable thirst, looking at the face close at hand, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.

At this time, the door of the office suddenly rang, and he subconsciously stepped back a little, picked up the clear water on the table, and took a sip as if to cover up.At this moment, a gleam flashed in his eyes, something was wrong, Natasha seemed to be staring at him.

When he raised his head again, Natasha had already retreated, stood up and greeted Pepper who came back from the meeting: "Miss Potts!"

"Okay, Natasha, thank you. By the way, please help me go to the main hall of the expo. There are still some problems with the venue arrangement there. Please keep an eye on it for me." After finishing speaking, Pepper told Ling Xiao greeted and said, "Ling, please wait for a long time."

Seeing Natasha go out and close the door, Ling Xiao looked at Pepper curiously and said, "Is there anything, Miss Potts, do you need to pay Natasha?"

"It's about the super soldier serum." Pepper returned to the desk and sat down, heaving a sigh of relief, and then said to Ling Xiao: "Tony has approved the super soldier serum research project I started, just like you said, He set the bottom line not to conduct human experiments. Because he also agrees with you to participate in this project, but you can only participate as an independent researcher. Ling, do you understand the meaning of this?"

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and said: "Mr. Stark doesn't want me to interfere too much with this project. The so-called independent researcher is similar to an independent observer. I know what to do, and it is more in line with me. The less involved, the more private time I have.”

"That being said, you still need to keep track of the progress of the serum research. From now on, you may have to stay in New York for an extra week every month."

"It's okay." Ling Xiao waved his hand indifferently, and said, "I have already completed most of my senior year at the University of California ahead of schedule, and the rest is some research work, and I have to write a graduation thesis. I just can Use some equipment from Stark Industries to conduct my own research and improve the collection of some theoretical data."

"It's good if you can think like this." Seeing Ling Xiao's knowledge and interest, Pepper nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Ling, until the calculation plan is completed, you may have to work as an independent researcher, but you Rest assured, the annual salary of $10 a year is indispensable to you. Although it is not much, I don’t think you will care, right?”

"Of course." Ling Xiao nodded with a smile. Pepper is right. The annual salary of 10 US dollars is indeed a little less. After all, he earns a lot of money just by doing skin care every month, but I think Thinking about it, he only stayed at Stark Industries for one extra week every month, and he couldn't get nearly 1 yuan more. This is already quite good for ordinary college graduates.

"Okay, I'm done with business, Ling, let's start nursing. I'm really exhausted during this time." After speaking, Pepper stood up and walked directly into the lounge next to him. Ling Xiao also took the The medicine box, and then walked in.

After finishing Pepper's skin care, Tony Stark made a call not long after. He had already woken up and asked Pepper to take Ling Xiao over. After the treatment, he could start having breakfast.

The overall treatment process was relatively smooth. Although Tony Stark had used the steel armor a lot during this period, it was still a long way from the warning line, so it was not considered critical.

As for what Ling Xiao said about Justin Hammer last time, Tony Stark didn't mention it, and Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up. With the shrewdness of Stark and Pepper, they will naturally arrange means to target it. Ling Xiao There is no need to mention additionally.

Knowing that Tony Stark didn't like him, Ling Xiao didn't stay in his office for too long. He took the VIP elevator directly and went down to the third basement level, where the Stark Group's super soldier serum project was carried out.

This floor was originally used for storage of sundries. After the project started, the research center was temporarily placed here by Pepper.After Tony Stark and Pepper communicated, the research center was renovated and upgraded, but the location remained unchanged.

"Hello, Mr. Ling." Professor Derek Rose, who is in charge of the research work, said while bringing him a tour of the research center: "Your situation, Miss Potts has already called me, and I will give you all At the same time, please don't interfere with our research work."
