The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Pep Potts came to do the job handover task today, of course she didn't resign, and Stark didn't fire her.With Pep taking Obaday's place, she will be busier than before, but she won't need to be overqualified for Stark's aftermath.

The sack that Obaday broke out shocked the entire United States. He was manipulated or instigated by him. Those shareholders who wanted to overthrow Stark were found by Stark himself to be involved in illegal activities, but he was very generous as the CEO. He "forgave" all the betrayers, and did not immediately submit the evidence to the court, but kept it for himself.He cleverly gave a reasonable proposal, as long as those old guys hand over all the shares in their hands, they can forget the past, and still keep their original positions and get high salaries. No one feels happy about this. Stark expressed it in a threatening way intention.

This is the first shareholder meeting that Stark personally participated in and organized in more than ten years, and it will also be the last, because since then there have been no shareholders, well, not completely, maybe not so many.

As Stark's personal secretary and bodyguard, Ma Linglong accompanied him to complete this boring meeting work. The two of them almost never stopped flirting in various ways.Even so, it made everyone present feel like they were on pins and needles.

Stark invited his own team of lawyers, and assigned 30.00% of the recovered shares to Ma Linglong and Pep on the spot. In order to show his absolute favoritism as a boyfriend, Ma Linglong got 20.00%. Pep said that Ma Linglong should have had it all.

She didn't intend to ask for all of them. After Ma Linglong unceremoniously accepted 20.00%, she first fired nearly half of them. A few minutes ago, Stark promised to keep the original shareholders.The hostility of the fired part towards Stark can even be said to be too obvious, and they have indeed killed people. The black group behind them is surprisingly thick, which means that they may want Stark at any time life.

For them, the best destination should be prison.

In the end, there were only two shareholders of Stark Industries, Ma Linglong and Pep Potts.

However, as the vice president, Little Pepper is under a lot of pressure, because from then on, she has to be independent. Although she was also independent and capable before, it will be different in the future.She will be fully responsible for the entire company, and she can implement all decisions without consulting anyone or holding any meetings to discuss the results, because she is the boss of the company except for Ma Linglong and Stark.Apparently the two hands-off shopkeepers probably don't even think about how to run the company, although Pep had expected this and complained a lot (in fact, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it). 【Note】

She had only served as Stark's executive secretary before, and knowing the company didn't mean she was familiar with all the details. Pep hadn't really managed the company, and Obaday wouldn't give her that right.But now that she is required to immediately become a vice president and become an executive, for Pep, it is not as simple as Stark's half-joking and half-serious saying "it won't make it go bankrupt".

This is a company, one of the top three largest companies in the United States in terms of revenue, with thousands of employees to support. "Just don't go bankrupt" is not the goal of a strong woman.

"The reason why you don't disclose your relationship to the public is that you want to stay with Tony as a bodyguard?" Pep is somewhat uncomfortable with the new position. This position was originally occupied by Obaday. The last time she sat here was to copy Hidden files in this computer in front of you.

"Yes." Ma Linglong took the file folder that Pep handed over. These are only part of the future work of the "new secretary". Form, she is very familiar with how to do it, but she thinks that Ma Linglong may still need a long time to adjust.

Stark admitted in front of the national media yesterday morning that he was Iron Man. That was actually the nickname given to that armor by public opinion. Stark was quite satisfied. He just complained a few words that the Mark armor was actually Alloy materials are not steel.The appearance of the armor caused a huge commotion, and it did seem to be a product from Stark's factory, so Stark had to make a reasonable explanation.

Although Agent Coulson prepared an excuse for Stark, and also did enough backup work for the content of the excuse, even if someone questioned it, it would be quelled.As a result, Stark said "I am Iron Man" to the camera without even having the idea of ​​finding someone to discuss.

Pep almost fainted, Ma Linglong supported her, the girl was not surprised by Stark's behavior at all, and was very proud of his actions.

So now, in the 24 hours since he released that press conference, appointments with the media have been scheduled for next Christmas.

"Does that mean Tony?" Pep didn't doubt that Ma Linglong had some kind of fighting skills, so she positioned herself as a bodyguard. After all, most girls who want to stay with Stark almost want the whole world to know their past. For one night, or for a few days.

"My idea." Ma Linglong flipped through the documents in her hand. She was familiar with the matter at hand faster than Pep imagined, and a few spells were enough to complete everything.She saw the name of a familiar reporter among them, Clark Kent, Superman reporter, the interview he applied for on behalf of the "Daily Planet" was scheduled for half a year later, only 5 minutes, "public love is not good for our private life."

Stark is already Iron Man, and this identity is enough to make terrorists jealous, so as Iron Man's bodyguard, she will also bring security to herself, killing two birds with one stone.

"That's true." Pep thought of those Hollywood stars, "Do you smell anything?"

"Cod." Ma Linglong silently moved Clark's number to the first position. She is a shareholder, so she has the right to change Pep's arrangement, right?

Stark was cooking lunch for his two new female shareholders in the kitchen of the CEO's office. Seriously, it was his first time tinkering with kitchen utensils, and it felt really bad, even worse than asking him to preside over the shareholders' meeting.At least he could still find a tinge of mockery in the faces of all kinds of people whose names he couldn't even pronounce.And cooking, spare him, Stark felt that he would soon be so smothered by the smell of grilled fish and salad that he vomited the donut he ate hours ago.

He had been in the kitchen for three hours, spoiling four fresh cod fillets and using up two jars of salad dressing.But he didn't intend to let the girls outside the door know his feelings immediately, because this was Stark's volunteered proposal, and he wanted to try some different tastes of life.

Who told him to have a girlfriend who likes food, he had to show his sincerity to change for her, even if Stark couldn't cook food.

"Taste it." Stark's white shirt was stained with oil, and it was finally no longer engine oil, "I think you will like today's lunch, grilled cod fillet, this is the unique grilled cod fillet in the world."

"Because it's Greenland cod?" Pep asked.

"No, because I made it." Stark put the plate in front of them, "The cod should be served with red wine, and today we have to celebrate." He looked at Marinlon, "To celebrate, I got back 30.00% .”

Ma Linglong looked at the plate of "Stark Cuisine" that had no color, aroma, and taste, and worriedly picked up the knife and fork. She stroked off a piece of cod meat, and saw that there were blood streaks that were not cooked through.

After Stark turned around the kitchen, Pep asked, "What 30.00%?"

"Shares." Ma Linglong said, "He now owns the entire company and can do whatever he wants."

"No, no, absolutely not," Pep said horrified, waiting for her glasses. "Tony is going to kill the company."

"I was joking just now." Ma Linglong put the fish meat that was almost completely covered in salad dressing into his mouth, slowly and carefully as if completing some serious ceremony.

"Sorry, I didn't see it, I thought you were serious." Pep smiled apologetically, and she also took a bite into her mouth, and then she spit it out immediately. "God, what is this?"

"Cod." Ma Linglong ate all of it silently while Pep was shocked by the unspeakable disgust of "Stark Cuisine".

Pep couldn't believe she was able to keep her face the same.

Stark walked out of the kitchen with red wine. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Ma Linglong's plate was empty, which gave him enough confidence in cooking. Maybe the grilled fish didn't look very good, but it tasted good: "Not bad Right?" he asked happily.

"You try it?" Ma Linglong handed him the fork. Half of the grilled fish was mushy, and the remaining half was only 60.00% cooked. The salad dressing almost covered the fish as if it had been sprinkled. It has nothing to do with "not bad".

"Oh!" Stark only chewed and spat it out, and he retched a few times.

"Not bad, right?" Ma Linglong handed over a tissue with a teasing tone.

"You actually finished eating, how did you eat it?" Stark poured a glass of red wine for himself, and he poured down the disgusting taste in his mouth.

Ma Linglong still used her flat tone, looked at him and said, "I don't mind doing this every day, at least the things you make are edible." Yes, they are edible, much better than her, she made them with magic Food that even giants can have diarrhea for three days.

"At least edible" was Stark's highest evaluation. He happily kissed Ma Linglong's forehead, followed by the tip of his nose.

"Forgive me." Pep protested, "I hope you guys still remember the fact that I'm still single." She sincerely wished Stark in her heart with envious eyes. Pep never expected Stark to fall in love one day, he She is so flirtatious, but now she doesn't even look at a girl with big breasts, and is willing to stay in the kitchen.

Pep knew very well that Stark and Ma Linglong were really in love. Although this lunch polluted everyone's stomachs, it couldn't conceal the deep affection emanating from the two of them.

After lunch (they ordered takeaway again), Ma Linglong and Stark returned to the villa, which was undergoing remodeling, and Stark planned to install a security system on the entire villa.

Not long after the decoration team left, Stark couldn't wait to have a nude swimming party for two with Ma Linglong. His private beach was enough for the two of them to indulge their surging desires without worrying about being photographed by the paparazzi. Ya photo, there are anti-camera jammers installed all over the place.

It's a pity that Ma Linglong didn't let him get what he wanted. The girl patted an interview material on Stark's dissatisfied mustache, and then brought him a news similar to bad news.

"I made an appointment for a private interview for you, from 04:30 to [-]:[-] this afternoon." Ma Linglong said.

As if being sentenced to death, Stark felt that his face must be uglier than the roasted cod that was dumped at noon. He frantically opened his eyes wide and stared at the interview materials in his hand, which were full of interview procedures and things to pay attention to. Sensitive words: "I think you have misunderstood the private interview, baby, this is your first official day at work, you may not be familiar with the job content, but it doesn't matter." He patted the information on his palm twice, " Half an hour sweetheart you allow more than 5 minutes for a private interview, do you know what that means, I'm going to waste 25 minutes doing a quiz game with a stranger, and you choose the location of the interview to be in our villa."

He emphasized "our villa", which made Ma Linglong feel happy.

But Stark was not happy, he didn't want to blame his new secretary, especially when the new secretary was his girlfriend, he couldn't show too much dissatisfaction: "Well, I forgive you for the interview location I don't know, but we can do a lot of things in 25 minutes, such as let me teach you how to find the sensitive zone of each other's bodies, I am very good at this, I can guarantee that you will be more impressed than the grilled cod at noon today."

"Sounds bad?"

"No, not that profound." He waved his arms indiscriminately, "Cancel the interview, before it's too late."

"This interview is worthwhile." Ma Linglong said to him, "Trust me."

"Unbelievable." Stark said with a surprised tone, "You don't really think that you are working for me now, think about it, you are my girlfriend, you don't have to do anything at all."

"If you accept this interview and stick to it until the end of the interview." Ma Linglong shook another appointment list compiled by Pep in his hand, "I will reject all of them for you, without guaranteeing your reputation." in case of any damage."

"You are joking?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I was able to join the Wayne Group?" Ma Linglong put his arms around his neck and said, "Think about it, you can save more time." Of course, she was able to work in the Wayne Group because of magic , but the work efficiency is true.

"Do you know this person?" Stark licked the corner of his mouth. He felt that this deal was a good deal. "Clark Kent, was he your client before?" Even though Stark already knew Ma Linglong's profession completely, He also knew what the so-called client meant, but he still found that word very harsh, which meant that his girl would completely leave his sight for two to three days every night.

"I guessed half right." Ma Linglong said, she pecked Stark on the face, "I know him, but he is not my client."

"Boyfriend, or, your suitor?"

Ma Linglong thought for a while and said, "He did 'chase' me."

Clark probably didn't expect to be so lucky. A moment ago he was told that the interview appointment time was at least half a year away, and Perry was furious for this.Before he finished his lunch, he received a call from Stark Industries' administrative commissioner, asking him to prepare for the interview in the afternoon.Not only that, the other party gave him ample time for half an hour, which is an unprecedented gift (as Perry described it). [Perry: Editor-in-Chief of Daily Planet, Blacks in BVS]

The moment he hung up the phone, Clark had imagined many possibilities, except that he ruled out really good luck.

Perry pulled him to the office and taught Clark how to use this rare free time to obtain more first-hand information. Perry even wanted to change to a more experienced reporter. After all, in his eyes, Clark seemed less shrewd.

For half an hour, Perry thought he could unearth Stark's entire life.

However, the opponent only wanted Clark Kent. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't use it. This made Perry suddenly respectful of this unsavvy subordinate.

The list of questions in Clark's briefcase was negotiated after an emergency meeting was held by the editors of several departments. Because this is an unprecedented private interview, they will be the first media that can interview Stark, as long as they seize the opportunity , the sales volume of Planet Daily will set a world record.

With a mission heavier than saving the world, he walked into this villa. Clark was first surprised by the architectural style here, and then he quickly understood why good luck came for no reason: "Why are you here?"

Ma Linglong arranged the sofa and coffee table in the living room as an interview site. She didn't give her old acquaintance a welcome smile, and said in her usual cold tone: "I work for Stark."

Of course, Clark would not be so stupid as to truly believe that the relationship between Ma Linglong and Stark was just an ordinary superior and subordinate. He had been familiar with the playboy's reputation for a long time: "What about Bruce?" The girl had a crush on him, and at least Clark could feel the delight every time Bruce mentioned her.

This question made Ma Linglong feel amused, so she let out a hint of mockery from her nostrils: "Batman can take care of himself without the company of a woman."

Clark first twisted his shoulders uncomfortably, and then asked tentatively, "You know?"

"Kent is Superman, and Wayne is Batman." Ma Linglong said in a low voice. She was not at all afraid that these two men whose fists were harder than missiles would do harm to her in order to hide their secrets. They were neither The villain is not a villain, "So I hope that in today's interview, you can face Stark with a fair attitude, and don't be influenced by outside rumors, Superman."

"That's why you gave me the opportunity?" Clark hid his defenses well, he didn't show superhuman strength, just like the plaid shirt he was wearing, which made people feel dull.

"Otherwise." Ma Linglong said, "I hope you don't make me think you are as pedantic as other reporters."

"I won't." Clark said, he didn't care too much about Ma Linglong knowing his and Bruce's identities, and he also knew that the girl was a wizard.Of course Clark would not use this to threaten or show off his ability, he just stopped wondering how Ma Linglong knew he was Superman, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"Why, does Superman care about bonuses?" Ma Linglong raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"I have a girlfriend." Clark smiled back.

Stark walked slowly from the bedroom to the living room. He was wearing a dark gray suit and planned to take this talk show seriously.He saw that the two were having a good conversation, and he said before they got close: "Don't get my secretary's idea, Kansas boy."【Note】

"Mr. Stark." Clark stood up, showing Clark's humble attitude, he stretched out his hand, "I thank you for giving me this interview opportunity."

Ma Linglong noticed that Clark was not that good at lying, or that he actually didn't like lying.Since he said this sentence to Ma Linglong a few seconds ago, when he said the same thing to Stark again, Clark cast an embarrassed look at the girl with guilt.

"You should thank the lady across from you." Stark shook hands with her perfunctorily, then sat down on his own, took a sip of coffee, which was prepared by Ma Linglong, "She arranged This interview, let’s get to the point, I’m very busy.” Stark patted the empty seat beside him, motioning for Ma Linglong to sit over, “I hope you’d better ask questions that aren’t as old-fashioned as your attire, Kansas City State boys."

It only took Stark 2 minutes to find out the details of the "Kansas boy". The non-competitive farm boy had a passable performance, but not outstanding enough. He didn't understand why Ma Linglong would give the other party such a Preferential treatment, even willing to let him do a private interview is enough.

Clark had an obvious frown. He just showed humility and didn't mean that he had these in his bones. The young man was not happy with Stark's offense.This allowed him to immediately connect the interviewees with all the rumors he was familiar with, and matched them one by one.

Clark took out the question draft that had been prepared in the briefcase, followed by the recording pen, which was almost all about Iron Man, whether he would build his own Iron Man army in the future, and whether Iron Man's fuel emissions would cause environmental pollution. pollution and more.He obviously noticed that Stark was quite impatient. These questions had already been given standard answers at the press conference at the time, and Clark only needed to copy the report.

He should have asked him different questions, questions that would have silenced a rich man like him, like when he confronted Bruce in the first place, Clark thought.He was ready to break the ice with the mood of going against this frivolous, irrelevant, pretentious fellow.

Clark thought that the playboy in front of him would be no more difficult to deal with than the playboy in Gotham City.

"So, what do you think about admitting that you are Iron Man? Is that suit of armor a new weapon from Stark Industries, given that you have closed the weapons department before." Clark pointedly pointed out that he had already seen Stark's The question generated during the live broadcast of the press conference, "Do you think you are qualified to be a superhero?"

Stark was obviously stunned for a moment, he finally stopped just flirting with Ma Linglong and ignoring each other for nothing, Stark didn't feel that he was offended by rudeness, on the contrary, he dared to ask Ma Linglong in front of him. Journalists with tough questions have a little respect, just a little.

"I am Iron Man, this is my opinion." Stark didn't give himself time to think or organize his words, he changed from a half-reclined sitting position to a straight one, "Do you think I should cover up, with A black mask with the darkness, or a red cloak that suddenly appears and then disappears? No, I am Iron Man. There is nothing shameful about it. I can let the public supervise my actions publicly. If they have difficulties, they can directly Call me by my name 'Tony', and you can also send me an email or find my secretary, which is much more convenient than summoning Superman." He paused and kissed Ma Linglong on the cheek, "Not this sexy secretary , someone in the executive office of Stark Industries."

"It's funny you ask me if I'm qualified to be a superhero, boy, and I love the question, I like to say, why am I not qualified? I have the strength and the determination to help the underdog, which is no different from any other superhero."

Stark spoke very fast, but Clark heard every word of him very clearly: "But..."

"Wait, I haven't finished, you asked me three questions, I hope you still remember." Stark interrupted, "As for my armor, it is not a weapon of Stark Industries, Stark In the future, the industry will only do energy development projects, and the armor is just my personal equipment."

"However, it is still lethal." Clark said, frowning and trying to refute Stark's righteous words, "It is more destructive than any weapon you have made before."

"Thanks, boy, I take that as a compliment." Stark replied jokingly, "Speaking of which, a few years ago Superman nearly razed Metropolis to the ground, but guess what, the government gave him a A huge bronze statue, I don't know if he got a royalties."

Clark certainly knew what he had done, and indeed, without him, not only the Met, but America would have been devastated.Plus, he doesn't get royalties.

"Seriously," Stark continued, "don't you think that statue looks stupid, as a reporter from the Metropolis, do you want to comment on it?

"No, Mr. Stark," Clark said, "and I don't think he's stupid either."

The author has something to say: [Note]: Little Pepper here has not officially become the president yet, but she has the right to adjudicate after she acquires the shares, plus Nini and Linglong must fully believe in her and her ability, so Xiaojiao Pepper is currently the company's largest executive.
