Leo's voice became colder and colder, making Matt suddenly remember the time when he first met Leo.
The night they met him for the first time, Leo smashed him to the ground.
Moreover, when Leo asked Matt to help register the company, he also used threats and inducements.
It's just that in the past six months, Leo came to talk to him too frequently, giving young Matt the illusion that he was Leo's particularly good friend.
But how did Matt know that it was just because Leo wanted to take over the task from him!
Matt thought carefully about what he said today and found that it was indeed not what an employee should say. Even Heather felt something was wrong at the time.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Erwin. What I did today was wrong, and I know I was wrong."
One of the things people like about Matt is that he has the courage to admit his mistakes and correct them when he knows they are wrong.
Leo is not a fussy person. Besides, he is not really angry with Matt. He is just reminding Matt not to go too far.
"Matt, what I just said was actually just to remind you. I didn't mean to blame you. You don't need to take it too seriously.
In the past six months, the company has grown from scratch, and your efforts are obvious to everyone. You are the hero of El Technology Company.
Therefore, I will never forget my original agreement with you, Hell’s Kitchen will definitely get better, I promise.”
First given a hammer and then a sweet date, Leo learned the self-cultivation of a leader without any teacher.
"Thank you, Mr. Erwin."
Matt didn't know whether he was sincere or pretending to say thank you.
"Mr. Irvine, please rest assured that I will never target Mr. Parker again in the future.
I just didn't control my emotions well today, and I'm sorry again for what I did today.
Mr. Erwin, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
For the first time, Matt felt the tension and frustration that subordinates have felt when facing their superiors since ancient times, and he no longer wanted to stay in this office.
Leo waved his hand, indicating that Matt could go.
But when Matt was about to walk out of the door, Leo suddenly stopped him.
"No, Matt, I think you are hiding the truth. You are not suddenly targeting Peter today because you are afraid that he will bring chaos to Hell's Kitchen again."
Now that Leo has enough time and raw materials, he has already perfected the original crude brainwashing equipment, so forcibly brainwashing people is not a big problem.
Therefore, Bucky has actually been secretly controlling Hell's Kitchen in recent times.
So, Leo then asked:
"Now Hell's Kitchen has been almost rectified by Bucky. No gang member dares to touch Boss Bucky's brow anymore, and they can't even hide in time!
And now that Spider-Man has come to Hell's Kitchen, it will only make the place more stable. You can't help but understand this.
There must be other reasons why you did this, right?"
But Matt ignored Leo, buried his head and walked out the door.
Leo realized that things were not that simple, and quickly chased after him, stopping Matt.
"Let me think about it carefully. You are targeting Peter today because you hate him.
And today is the first time you have seen Peter again in more than four years, so he must have embarrassed you or even humiliated you at some point before."
With Leo's analysis, a possibility is about to emerge.
"Matt, could it be that you were severely beaten by Peter four years ago?
By the way, I looked at Peter's expression today and it was obvious that he knew you were the Night Stalker.
Could it be that four years ago, you were beaten up by Peter and had your hood taken off by him?!"
"Mr. Erwin, I have promised you that I will not cause trouble to Peter again. The matter is over, so be it."
Matt used the guide stick to find the way, bypassed Leo, and headed towards the elevator.
Seeing that Matt had already acquiesced, Leo stood where he was and asked:
"Do you want to grab Peter Parker and beat him up?"
Matt kept walking and said without looking back:
"It's not like you haven't seen TV. Spider-Man can stop a car with his bare hands, so there's no way I can beat him with a hundred people."
Matt only said that he couldn't beat Peter, but it didn't mean that he didn't want to fight, which meant that he really wanted to beat Peter up.
Whenever Bucky sees Leo recently, he will mention it to Leo casually that he wants to train Matt, and urges Leo to help convince Matt.
Leo's ears were almost calloused by Bucky.
Just in time, now is a good opportunity to convince Matt to learn fighting from Bucky!
"You can't beat him now, but you can train your fighting skills! Once you surpass him in skill, you can at least punch him twice in the face!
Bucky is the most powerful fighting master I know. If you can learn all his fighting skills, I will organize an exchange match for you and Peter, and I think you will have no problem dealing with Peter Parker."
Matt had already walked to the elevator, fumbled and pressed the down button, still remaining silent.
Leo persuaded again:
"Although Bucky's thoughts are a bit old-fashioned and his words may embarrass you, as long as you get along with him for a long time, you will find that he is actually a more suitable friend than me.
He is not so thoughtful, and he does not do things with purpose like me. You can try to have more contact with him."
The elevator has reached the sixth floor, the elevator door has opened, and Matt has already stepped in with half his foot.
"Thank you for the reminder, I will seriously consider it."
After Matt finished speaking, he left the elevator.
Leo returned to the office, quickly called Bucky, told Bucky the whole story in detail, and finally said:
"You'd better strike now while the iron is hot and convince Matt quickly. This is the best opportunity I've found for you.
Also, don’t urge me to help you convince Matt when you meet me in the future, it’s so annoying! Just, bye.”
…
After the selection of media and speakers was finalized, it only took a week for the new product launch conference of El's 1st generation high-performance computing chip to be prepared.
The venue for the new product launch conference was chosen in Flushing, Queens, New York. This is the business district of New York City. It is extremely prosperous and much more popular than Hell's Kitchen.
It's just that the rent of the venue is a little high, but Leo doesn't care about that.
In a large gymnasium in the Flushing Center, the new product launch conference of El Technology Company is in full swing.
Peter Parker was on stage vividly introducing the performance and advantages of El's 1st generation chips.
And Leo was sitting quietly at the back of the guest seating area, holding a sign-in form in his hand and silently scanning the attendees.
Although the press conference was high-profile, Leo tried his best to keep a low profile. After all, he was still on the list of unknown colors for Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although Leo is not afraid of Hydra and SHIELD people now, after all, he and Bucky are two extraordinary people.
But it doesn't hurt to be careful if you can avoid some trouble.
Not only had he told Mary Jane a long time ago not to mention his name in reports.
Moreover, it was revealed that the official person in charge of this press conference of El Technology Company was Old Tom, who was firmly controlled by Leo.
As mentioned before, Old Tom is actually not old, he only looks like he is in his early forties.
In the past six months, he has stayed away from drinking and sex, worked hard, and paired with a suit and tie, he looked like a successful man.
But despite all the preparations Leo had made, he still couldn't be sure that he wouldn't be discovered.
So, he quietly came to the venue and used his many years of experience as a Hydra agent to judge whether anyone with ulterior motives had sneaked into the venue.
After checking, Leo didn't find any strangers who looked like agents.
However, there were two names on the form that were familiar to Leo.
As far as Leo knows, neither of these two people was invited to participate in the new product launch conference of El Technology.
Leo carefully searched the guest area with his eyes and quickly determined the location of these two people.
It seemed that both of them were listening carefully and had no special intentions.
However, Leo still kept a cautious eye on these two people who showed up uninvited.
and became keenly interested in the true purpose of both of them.
