EP019. Tony and Peppers

Since Obadai stepped down and took over the CEO position of Stark Industries, Pepper Potts has been trying to turn the situation around and stabilize the stock price to get the company on track again.

In order to achieve this goal, she racked her brains to think of many ideas and took many measures.

Some have worked, some have no use. After a short period of practice, Pepper Potts concluded that to truly revitalize Stark's industry, adjustments in other aspects are not that important. Whether Stark himself is concerned and whether he can create new inventions with commercial prospects is the real decisive factor.

The key is Stark.

In this way, Pepper Potts transformed into a "travelling spirit". No matter whether she had the chance to meet, she would insist on calling Stark every day, just like a bank urging her to pay a loan, urging Stark to hurry up and do research and create new products as soon as possible.

If it were anyone else, with Stark's temper, he would definitely have made the other party without saying a word.

If you can change it to Pepper, things will be different...

Although she had not seen her heart clearly and believed that Xiao Chili was her only one, but to be honest, Stark's patience with Xiao Chili was far superior to others. In addition, after getting the white potion from Shi Xiaolei, she tossed Xiao Chili all night, and from her she felt the sense of conquest and accomplishment that she could not feel even if she had played in the flowers before... Unconsciously, Stark subconsciously raised Xiao Chili's position in his heart one level.

If the former Little Pepper was the "most trustworthy assistant", then after that night, Little Pepper's status finally rose to the level of "family", truly replacing the previous Obadai.

On business, the cooperation between the two was like Stark and Obadai before. Stark invented various weapons, and Obadai was responsible for promoting and selling... Because Xiao Chili replaced Obadai's position in subconsciously, there was a view that "the more she urged, the more she proved her duty." So Stark was so patient and did not dislike her nagging at all.

In addition, Stark himself had the same idea, so he thought of cooperating with Shi Xiaolei to develop new agent promotion and sales ideas.

Speaking of which, because the new company was immediately obtained orders from the military after it was established, Stark Industrial's stock price did rebound to a certain extent.

Just...

With pharmaceuticals as the main product, the business scope of the new company is a bit far from Stark Industry's original center of gravity. It is impossible to get strong support from the head office. However, there is also a veteran giant in this field. The competition is too fierce and the benefits will not be raised for a while... To be honest, it is still a bit unrealistic to rely on this new company to drive the stock price and completely drag Stark Industry out of the quagmire.

What else can I do? Stark had to turn his gaze and aim at the physics field he was best at.

When he received a call from Conna, Stark was doing research and development in the laboratory.

It seemed as if the famous saying "Looking back suddenly, the man was in the dim lights" was a complete circle of considerations... Well, the main thing is that the loopholes left after closing the weapon department were too big, and the benefits brought by the small project could not be compensated at all. There was almost no other choice, and Stark finally turned his attention to the new energy sector based on the small ark reactor.

"Jarvis, what time is it now?" After finishing the call with Conna, Stark twisted his neck to relieve the fatigue accumulated by bowing his head for a long time to do welding.

"Sir, it's 4:08 p.m.."

"Create an alarm clock, emm, it's half past five." After looking at the pile of devices on the workbench, Stark continued to instruct while moving his fingers: "Notify Hapi and ask him to go to the dessert shop on 42nd Street. Remember to go back to the last time that chocolate brand? Let him buy two boxes for me, and I'll take it to Conna later. By the way, call Pepper and let her change into casual clothes and prepare for a little."

"Sir, Miss Pepper is on the way here and is expected to arrive in three minutes."

"Okay, I'll tell her myself, please inform Hapi for me."

“Yes,Sir.”

In three minutes, in a blink of an eye, Pepper had already arrived in the laboratory before Stark came out of the bathroom.

"Tony Tony? Are you here?"

"Here~." Shaking his hands, Stark walked out of the bathroom: "You're here, I just said I'm going to call you. Uh, is there anything?"

"There are a few documents that require your signature." Walking on his high heels, Dadada stepped forward a few steps. Pepper opened the folder in his hand and handed it to Stark: "Here, there is also here, here."

The trust from the heart made Stark take the pen without hesitation and sign his name on the document: "That's all?"

"Yes, there are only a few for the time being." Pepper packed the documents and closed the folder: "The other three businesses are still under negotiation. If nothing unexpected happens, the negotiations will be completed before 8 pm."

"Eight o'clock in the evening?" Stark shook his head: "Do you want to attend too? If so, push it back and continue tomorrow."

"Um?"

"Didn't you always want to meet Conna?" Stark smiled, and his right hand was naturally placed on Pepper's waist: "She called me just now and invited me to visit. Negotiations, etc., let's talk about it tomorrow, I'll go with me tonight."

When he was Stark's assistant, he served as his female companion more than once, and attended many dinners, either public or private.

Now that when she heard Stark's words, Pepper naturally recalled her past experience. For a moment, she forgot that the phone was called by Conna, thinking that this was another formal dinner where she had to bring her female companion: "Okay, I'll go change my clothes. Tony, what gifts do I need to bring? I'll prepare some."

"Don't have to be so formal." Seeing something wrong, Stark quickly explained: "It's just a small gathering between friends. I've asked Hapi to buy chocolates and I'll take it to the little girl later. As for you... this little suit is really not suitable, please change it to a casual outfit."

"OK, I understand." Imagining the atmosphere of the gathering for a while, Pepper unconsciously changed into a more lifelike tone: "When is the time to pass?"

"Five:30." Pointing to the workbench not far away, Stark said with a smile: "I'm about to finish here, and it should be almost done in another hour. What about you? Is it okay at half past five?"

"No problem, I'll make some arrangements." Pepper nodded.

"Okay." Stark naturally pecked Pepper's lips and patted her back: "Go and do your business, come here, I'll wait for you here."

The sudden kiss surprised Pepper a little.

Leaving a pretty roll of eyes, Pepper twisted his waist and turned around, and stepped out a string of dashings with his feet, leaving Stark's sight.
