Wade and others were rushing to New York at the same time.
…
Stark Industries Building.
In Virginia Pepper Potts' office, a mountain of documents was neatly placed on the table.
Pepper, wearing black business attire, flipped through the documents in his hand and followed closely behind Tony Stark.
Tony just came out of lab retreat!
According to her understanding, the playboy's heart had long been in a state of despair, and he had no memory of what he had promised before.
Peper felt it was necessary to remind Tony of recent related matters.
"Tony, there are two things I think I need to remind you of."
"You tell me."
Tony stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, shaking the red wine glass in his hand, admiring the beauty of the night.
Tsk.
I don’t know how the contact with Happy is going.
Last month, due to a full schedule, he missed the cover girl invitation in April.
I have to say, this is really a huge loss.
He has always been a man who refuses to suffer, so he specially set aside time today to invite all the girls from April and May, and the three of them would spend this wonderful night together.
Carnival night.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
Seeing Tony's appearance, Pepper rubbed her temples with a headache and reminded him again and again in an aggravated tone.
"The first thing is that you have been nominated for the Pinnacle Award and will go to Caesar's Palace to receive the award tomorrow night."
"Obadiah will definitely go there then, just let him go up and get the trophy."
Tony drank the red wine in his hand and said nonchalantly.
The pinnacle prize?
It's not as important as the beauty.
Besides, he wins so many awards every year, where does he find the time to participate in them all?
Magazine girls need to work three shifts, not to mention these so-called awards.
Why.
Who can understand the feeling of being a genius?
Awards that may be difficult for others to achieve in their lifetimes, are so easy for him that he even has to set aside a special grocery room to place these trophies.
Who knows his troubles and pain?
Tony shook his head, savoring the aftertaste of red wine in his mouth, feeling filled with emotion.
“You can’t always count on Obadiah!”
"The winner of the pinnacle grand prize this time is you. This matter will attract widespread attention."
"If you don't go, those reports that are already criticizing the Stark Group will intensify their attacks, and your personal image will be even worse by then!"
When he said this, Pepper couldn't help but frown.
Tony Stark's reputation has never been very good, and it is extremely polarizing.
Many people say that he is a modern Leonardo da Vinci, if it were not for the messenger of death.
But Tony didn’t think it mattered!
He has always believed in the life philosophy of his father Howard Stark - only by being thicker than other people's sticks can you achieve peace.
"They are jealous of me. Geniuses are treated like this, aren't they?"
Tony waved his hand and said confidently.
"Okay, okay, don't be nagging. I will get the prize when the time comes. Don't you understand me?"
"It's just because I know you that I know!"
Pepper sneered.
She was sure that Tony had never thought of attending the Summit Awards Ceremony.
Nine times out of ten, he plans to go out to find a certain magazine girl or cover model and have a good night.
She knew the playboy's temperament well.
"Forehead……"
Tony's expression froze, then he shrugged helplessly, spread his hands, and said innocently.
"It makes me sad when you say that."
"alright."
Pepper was too lazy to pay attention to Tony's pretense, opened the file, and continued.
"Then Colonel Rhodes invites you to go to the Afghan Military District. Don't forget it."
Rod?
Tony was stunned for a moment.
Frowning, he thought about it carefully for a long time, and then he remembered that Rhodes had, probably, maybe, said such a thing.
"you forgot!"
When Pepper saw this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and kept looking at Tony. After a moment, she said decisively.
"NO, I have not!"
Tony's reaction was quite violent.
"I'm a genius. When have you ever seen a genius and still forget things?"
"Aren't you a ready-made example?"
Pepper smiled slightly and asked.
"..."
Tony was silent.
All right.
He had indeed forgotten this matter. A certain research in the laboratory was very important. He had rarely left the laboratory recently. He had selectively forgotten a lot of these chores.
But that doesn't matter.
Jarvis will remind him then, oh, and Pepper, the caring assistant.
"Colonel Rhodes hopes that you can go to Afghanistan early, just after attending the award ceremony."
Pepper frowned, remembering some news, and said with a worried look.
"No reason?"
Tony almost used all his strength to resist.
"I have arrangements, okay, can you give me some free private space?"
Beautiful women, alcohol, and a raucous night!
It will be a super party!
Tony had rehearsed it in his mind. The night of the Summit Awards Ceremony was definitely going to be a crazy night!
But now, Pepper told him that he was going to set off overnight to go to that damn Afghan desert military region!
Who is sick?
"Why didn't I know about this? Rhodes didn't notify me in advance!"
"You blocked the laboratory and Rhodes can't contact you. In fact, I just snatched you out of the laboratory!"
Pepper looked at Tony with a calm expression.
Obviously.
Tony didn't get the message, and that wasn't anyone's fault.
"Also, turn around and look at the desk behind you. I'm responsible for these piles of documents and orders."
"Tony, I think you're free enough."
"Pepper, you have to know that the reason why Stark Industries can survive does not rely on these so-called orders, but on this place."
Tony pointed at his head.
"It's all about my clever mind."
"You know, I'm doing a special research, and I don't like to be disturbed while I'm doing it."
"That's right, so I'm not complaining about you, I'm just telling you about your future itinerary. This is what you promised before. Tony, you can't break the appointment."
Faced with Pepper's businesslike appearance, Tony became impatient.
He walked to the wine cabinet, took down a bottle of champagne, opened it, and poured the wine.
"This wine is very good, why don't you drink it?"
Tony tried to change the subject.
"This is the office, you know, I don't drink here."
Pepper patted the documents in her hands, closed the folder, and threw it on the table. She knew that Tony was impatient to hear what she had to say.
"You know what I mean, don't worry about these work things all the time. If you have the time, you might as well care about me."
Tony said something he took for granted, and Pepper almost laughed in anger when she heard this.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Tony seriously.
"OK!"
"There is really something related to you, and it's not a work matter!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Tony shook the champagne in his hand and became more or less interested.
"The New York Police Department sent someone to inform you that an organization called Black Hand was targeting you."
"The boss of the Black Hand is called Valon, and he has made a promise to kidnap you!"
"Huh? Kidnap me!"
Tony was stunned for a moment and looked at Pepper in disbelief. After realizing that she was not joking, the playboy smiled evilly.
"This is so cool!"
The daily life of a playboy is always boring and boring, now is the time for fun!
