Chapter 115 Meeting
When Tony arrived at the charity fundraising party, the pre-dinner reception was over, and the reporters gathered outside were almost gone. When the cool Koenigsegg sports car drew a beautiful flick and stopped At the door, Stark, who has always been the focus, unexpectedly walked into the venue without being chased and intercepted by paparazzi for the first time.

In the spacious hall, the lyrical performance of the band echoed. Tony looked through the crowd of guests chatting and laughing, and kept searching for the familiar figure. He quickly found the object of his thoughts.

Pepper, who is usually conservative and dignified, dressed up tonight. She wore a sky blue backless dress with matching shoes. Her blond hair hung down her shoulders. Under the bright light of the crystal chandelier, her skin was like snow. Fair white with a delicate luster.

Compared with the image of the shrewd and capable secretary in the past, Tony's heart is moved by the current Pepper. The gentle and reserved temperament deeply attracts this romantic wanderer who has been in the flowers for many years.

Huh?Who is that bastard who looks familiar? !

The melodious music is flowing quietly. Pepper, who has always been honest with the opposite sex, is invited by a young man to walk into the dance floor and dance together. The blue dress is slightly swaying, like a blooming blue lotus, beautiful Gorgeous.

Tony thought back for a moment before he remembered that he had met him in Las Vegas. The newly-emerging New York genius was often compared to himself by the media. Judging from experience, that kid is definitely a veteran of flowers, and his unsurpassed physical contact will not arouse the objection of the partner, but also increase the ambiguous atmosphere, and there are some intimate movements that are close to the end. trick!
A wave of anger surged in Stark's heart, as if a child's beloved toy was taken away. After suffering Obaday's ruthless betrayal, Pepper was one of the few people he could trust, and the other party had always been with him. By his side, dealing with all kinds of troublesome things for him.

If this hard-working and caring secretary is lost, Tony Stark will become a life idiot with extremely poor self-care ability and can't even remember the social security number. Pepper acts as his housekeeper and nanny, perhaps more More important than Jarvis.

"Sorry, I want to borrow my secretary for a while, I think you don't mind." Tony, who was striding forward, took advantage of the time when the music was getting weaker, and forcefully inserted himself between the two dancing.

He raised his head and looked at the young man with a gentle smile. He looked just a little younger than himself. Pepper would not like this kind of sweet talker. A mature and reliable man like himself was her real destination.

"Sean Seapers, I know you. You won me a lot of money in the Las Vegas casino." Stark glanced at the other side, and said in his usual proud tone: "The newspaper often Comparing you to me, I don’t know if the legendary New York genius is half as smart as his gambling skills.”

Sean let go of the hand on Pepper's waist. He originally wanted to see Iron Man's recent situation, but unexpectedly met Tony's personal secretary, this dignified female secretary, wearing an elegant and decent blue halter Pretend to sit alone at the bar and drink stuffy wine.

After inadvertently chatting up a few words, after Pepper learned of Sean's true identity, he subconsciously displayed his professional instincts. The two chatted about the prospects and development of new energy sources. Umbrella had also reported that he was optimistic about the future energy market. Moreover, Dr. Otto, a famous nuclear physicist, led an energy project team to conduct project research on an artificial sun.

These are not secrets, and Pepper, who is quite concerned about the energy field, will naturally not ignore them. After some conversations, Sean's gentle attitude and humor won a good impression on Miss Secretary - of course, this does not rule out that she is because I saw the possibility of cooperation between Stark Industries and Umbrella.

The current Stark Industries urgently needs an ally worth cooperating with, and the emerging Umbrella is obviously a good choice. At least the news headlines of two powerful geniuses teaming up can still attract the attention of New Yorkers.

Seeing Tony who obviously misunderstood something, Sean smiled slightly: "I also often think that there are rumors that Mr. Stark's IQ is directly proportional to his bad personality. Is this rumor true?"

"Genius is like virtue, and knowledge is like wealth. Unfortunately, I happen to have both." Tony stroked his mustache and boasted of himself without hesitation.

"I understand what you young people think. You think you can change the world. In fact, your abilities are far from enough to support the imagination in your head. True geniuses never need to show off. They are candles in the dark. It will attract people's attention."

Tony said in a condescending tone. Although he does not have a height advantage, judging from his status and achievements, Sean, who has just made progress, is undoubtedly a junior rookie.

Compared with the dazzling halo of himself as a great arms dealer, Stark Industries helm, and genius scientist, Sean today is nothing worth mentioning. After all, the so-called true genius always has to stand the test of time.

"Yes, Mr. Stark's low-key is really different, I am afraid that everyone in the United States knows that you made a circuit board at the age of four, completed the engine at the age of six, and graduated from MIT at the age of 17 with honors. "

Sean's smile remained the same, but there was some sarcasm in his tone. He would not accommodate this arrogant Iron Man.

"Ahem..." Tony was a little embarrassed. These genius deeds in his youth were all the result of Obaday's publicity to the outside world. In fact, his reputation today is not lacking in packaging and operation.

No one will pay attention to an unknown genius. There is no doubt about Stark's mind, but effective publicity is also necessary. No matter how great a scientist is, he needs the applause and cheers of the world.

"Okay, Tony, didn't you say you won't be at the party?" The understanding Pepper changed the topic, and if the tit-for-tat confrontation continued, the cooperation between Stark Industries and Umbrella would be ruined.

"I've been stuck at home for too long, and occasionally I want to go for a drive." Of course, the arrogant Tony would not admit that he actually wanted to miss the secretary who left angrily.

He squinted at Xiao En, like a high-spirited male peacock, spreading its beautiful feathers while driving away outsiders with vigilant eyes.

"Sorry, it's my private time with Pepper..."

Sean shrugged indifferently, maintaining a gentle demeanor, he took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, and raised it to Stark: "I wish you good health."

Tony's face darkened for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal. He pulled Pepper out of the terrace. This unruly prodigal son who lingered in the flowers rarely felt a sense of crisis.

Looking at the intimate figure leaving the hall, Sean smiled. It seems that the general trajectory has not changed. Iron Man is still troubled by palladium poisoning, and soon there will be more headaches for him, such as targeting steel armor. hearing.
