The appearance of Tony Stark made the originally quiet venue suddenly lively. On the way to the center stage of the reception, people kept trying to talk to Stark. They each had their own purposes, and some were just to let him know. Stark remembered that some of them hoped to get investment from this playboy. In short, they all hoped to get the benefits they wanted from the number one playboy in the United States.
And Tony Stark was already very experienced in what was happening in front of him. He walked through the crowd gracefully, not stopping, but still greeting everyone with a smile. Although he is a stinker, Stark is not a rude person. In fact, people from such a wealthy and elite family rarely make mistakes in their upbringing.
Of course, his pride or arrogance is also clearly visible. He is like a man walking on the red carpet, surrounded by his fans. Although it seems that he will be very polite to every 'fan', in fact, he is not at all He didn't know these people, and he didn't intend to stop being in the spotlight. He regarded these people as supporting characters and background in a show.
Under the spotlight, Stark walked onto the stage and began his toast.
Funny and witty.
Well, that's what others have said about Stark.
But Kai, who was behind the crowd, kept pouting. Humor? Maybe, but what Kai heard more was self-righteousness. Look at these people, Tony Stark just said a very ordinary wisecrack, but everyone laughed very happily. Either this group of people are too funny, or Stark's tens of billions of net worth make this ordinary joke funny.
Kay reckons the latter is more likely.
Or what Barkley said, if Jordan was just a plumber, no one would say he was handsome?
Kai thinks there is nothing wrong with using this sentence here.
"He's very attractive, isn't he?" Alexandra looked at the energetic Stark and said with a sigh.
Kai turned his head to look at Alexandra in shock.
Alexandra wondered why Kai was looking at her like that.
"What's wrong?"
Kai was relieved quickly, realizing that he seemed a little too sensitive. There was nothing wrong with Alexandra thinking so. If Kai was just an ordinary person without special abilities or those magical experiences, he probably wouldn't view these things so detachedly.
"Nothing." Kai secretly cursed himself for being sick, and then said to Alexandra: "Do you want to get to know him? I can help introduce him."
Defining other people with your own ideas is actually a very stupid thing. There are a thousand readers and a thousand Hamlets. Why can't others find Stark attractive? Besides, seriously speaking, Stark does have the qualifications. He is handsome, rich, talented, and both his parents are dead...
"Really?" Alexandra said in surprise. Although she has changed a lot, it does not mean that she has completely given up on her career. Being able to meet Tony Stark will definitely be a huge help to her career.
"Of course!" Kai was very pleased with Alexandra's transformation, so he didn't mind helping, it wasn't any trouble anyway.
Kai believed that it was Tony Stark's idea that he was specially invited. Otherwise, who the hell would know him? In this case, this guy will definitely come to find him, but it won't be troublesome to introduce him.
As for what happens next...that's none of his business.
…
After a boring but enthusiastic opening, the reception began. There was no doubt that Tony was the biggest and only focus of the entire reception. He was holding a glass of wine, and people kept coming over to talk to him. Generally speaking, Tony would remain patient. This was basic upbringing, and Stark would not make mistakes on this.
But if the other person's topic is really boring, he will interrupt and leave.
There is no way, the focus should have the privilege of the focus. Besides, if you can't attract Stark's attention, that's because you're not capable enough. There's no reason why others, the focus of the reception, have to listen to your nonsense. There are so many people waiting behind you!
Moreover, Tony has more important things to do now. I saw that Tony had a clear goal. After walking off the stage, he went straight to the corner where Kai was. He walked for almost twenty minutes in a straight line distance of less than 300 meters.
There were so many people chatting, thanks to the fact that the people present were all respectable and would not pester them. If there was really something important, they would not be in this kind of situation.
"Hey, officer (cop), how about the drinking party?" (cop, translated as note, is a slang term for the police, and the context is not very friendly)
Tony seems to be born with a talent for ridicule. Such a simple sentence is filled with the smell of a stinky king.
"Not bad, Master Tony." Kai naturally wouldn't spoil him.
Alexandra opened her mouth slightly on the side, a little confused. She thought Kay's introduction to Tony was a bit of a joke. Unexpectedly, these two people not only knew each other, but also seemed to be very familiar with each other.
If the two of them heard the woman's thoughts, they would definitely tell her in unison that she was wrong.
In Stark's opinion, Kai is his love rival and the biggest one.
Kai simply couldn't stand him. What a stinker.
Tony looked at Alexandra next to Kai, immediately smiled, and then gave Alexandra a hand kiss in a human-like manner. This etiquette has been out of fashion for decades. Most of the people who still do this kind of thing are hooligans.
Apparently, Tony's old habits were back.
But the problem is that many women really do this, and at least Alexandra is not very resistant. He also giggled like silver bells.
Tony is very good at talking, so it didn't take long for Alexandra to get excited.
After hearing that Alexandra was a Victoria's Secret Angel, our teacher Tony generously assured her that in the next Victoria's Secret show, she would be able to stand in the C position and wear the most expensive diamond bra. And he will definitely buy that underwear and give it to Alessandra as a gift.
The rules of the Victoria's Secret show are very gentlemanly, that is, the underwear worn by the models will be auctioned. Well, it is still original... (I heard people say it, I don't know if it is true or not. There are many opinions on the Internet, it is just a joke. )
But every year Victoria's Secret creates an extremely expensive bra, the seven-figure kind. It was the most talked about piece of lingerie and would only be shown by the best models of the year. Being able to wear this on the catwalk is definitely a status symbol. Moreover, supermodels may not necessarily be able to afford underwear at this price.
This undoubtedly appealed to Alessandra.
When Tony was picking up girls, he didn't forget to give Kai a provocative look. It seems to be saying, look at me picking up your girl!
Kai simply ignored this. He was completely dismissive of Tony's childish behavior. He couldn't figure out what this guy called him here for?
As for Alexandra's reaction, it was a normal reaction for others.
"Ahem!" Just when Tony was extremely excited, a deliberate and terrible cough came.
"Pepper!" Tony threw away Alessandra's hand as if he was electrocuted, which made the girl very hurt...it couldn't be like this. But Tony didn't care at all and just waved her hand to let her go.
Pepper looked at Kai apologetically, and then said to Stark with a cold face: "I think you need to get to know the top brass of the Chicago Police Department. They will be responsible for the security of the expo this time."
The idea of the expo was Stark's. In fact, the idea of the industrial expo was originally a product of his father's youth, and his father hosted the first expo. That was also the beginning of the Stark Group coming closer to people's horizons. It’s just that his father only held that one event, and in the following decades, there was no such grand event again.
It wasn't until two years ago that Stark suddenly had the idea to hold a second expo.
Stark Group also feels that there is nothing wrong with it. It can just use the expo as a new product launch conference and promote some concept products. These days, only by telling stories can you make a difference in the stock market. A good story is stronger than life. Leeks like to listen to stories.
So there was this expo.
Even the design of the exhibition venue was done by Stark himself. Geniuses are so capricious.
But after that, he just ignored it. Pepper was doing all the preparations. So until today, Stark has not really met with the top brass of the police department, nor has he communicated with celebrities from all walks of life in Chicago. Pepper felt that this was not good, so he had this cocktail party.
When Tony Stark heard this, he immediately remembered his original intention of looking for Kai. Provocation is naturally not what he wants to do, that would be too low, but he is particularly unhappy when he thinks that Kai is Pepper's first love, and there is a lot of evidence that proves that Pepper still has unresolved feelings for Kai. This made Stark even more unhappy.
Research shows that the more successful people are, the more possessive they are.
It's hard to say whether Stark will succeed or not. After all, others are more successful than 99% of the people in this world right from birth. But in terms of possessiveness, this guy is definitely not weak. Buddhist people cannot live like Stark.
Anyway, as soon as he saw Kai's face, Stark couldn't help but taunt him and pry his girl in front of him.
But he didn't expect to be caught by Pepper.
That's not all. The problem is that he hasn't done anything yet!
He just wanted to ask Kai, no, he should exchange experiences and see how he could impress Pepper.
This guy just wants to learn how to pick up girls from Kai... I really don't know what he thinks, but he's so stinky and annoying to ask for advice.
In short, now is the time to do business, how can he have time to meet with the senior officials of a small police station?
"I think……"
"I think you should fulfill the following responsibilities as president!" Pepper was very annoyed now. The biggest reason why she didn't accept Stark's kindness was because of Tony's fatal character. She didn't pay attention to him for a few minutes. So he went to pick up girls again...and she was Kai's female companion. Pepper felt like her face had been completely disgraced.
Seeing Pepper's toughness, Tony opened his mouth to refute, but felt very guilty.
Fortunately, fortunately, someone came to Tony's rescue.
Director Cooper took the initiative to come over with Teresa. Originally, in social occasions such as cocktail parties, communication between each other is relatively private. If others are talking happily there, it would be very rude for you to join them rashly.
But Director Cooper and Teresa don't count, because they know Kai, and socializing is like this. If you don't have acquaintances, it will be annoying if you force penetration, but if you have friends who happen to be in that circle, then It seems much more normal once you join in.
Of course Director Cooper and Theresa are willing to talk to Stark. But Stark obviously has little interest in them, at least compared to young models, they are not attractive.
But if the mountain is not mine, I will be the mountain. It is not wrong for us to take the initiative.
Soon after Pepper and Kai's introduction, Director Cooper and Teresa joined the conversation.
Then Kai took the wine glass and withdrew directly. He was not interested in hearing about the yes or no. Alexandra had just been teased by Tony and found it boring, so she followed Kai.
When Pepper saw Kai walking away, she also said sorry and walked away.
Tony was so angry when he saw Kai taking the two girls away at once. What's even more annoying is that one of the girls is still his!
…
Just when the reception was going on, three floors down from where the reception was held, a group of men in black were arranging their equipment. If you look closely, you can see that these people have white skin, tall eyebrows and deep eyes, and some hair. Curly, with a large green mark on his face from just growing a beard, he is very characteristic of the Middle East and West Asia.
"ready or Not?"
"Ready!" They all had heavy accents, very much like Arabic.
"Let us begin, we will defeat the evil spirits who slaughtered our people! Allah will protect us!"
“All praise be to Allah!!!”
Then everyone started taking action. First, a guy with a computer came to a place similar to a monitoring room. He pried open a cabinet, which contained various lines. He connected his computer to several of them. On the line, start an operation.
This is the building's control room and computer room hall, which connects monitoring, elevators, communications, fire alarms and other equipment throughout the building.
Soon, the little brother raised his thumb.
"It's done. All the elevators in the building have stopped operating. We have control over the surveillance and communications. This building is ours!"
"Start taking action! You and a few people stay in the monitoring building and report to me at any time!"
"clear!"
After the leader finished speaking to the computer guy, he immediately said to the other group of subordinates: "Immediately guard the entrances, exits and stairs on this floor. No one is allowed to go up or down. If necessary, blow up the stairs and passages!"
"clear!"
"Others follow me and clean up layer by layer without leaving any hidden dangers. As long as we catch those greedy American celebrities, we can negotiate with the damn U.S. government! Let them release our brothers!"
“Allahhu Akbar!”
“Allahhu Akbar!!!”
…
"I'm sorry, I didn't know he would..." Pepper apologized to Kai. She didn't expect Tony to be so childish.
"It's okay." Kai smiled. Although Kai thinks Tony is childish, looking at Tony's behavior and Pepper's continuous apology for Tony, he knows that these two people really like each other and they care about each other. Otherwise it wouldn't be this reaction. "I don't care, I never really liked him anyway."
"I..." Pepper didn't know what to say, it was just embarrassing anyway.
I always felt a bit ashamed talking about Tony in front of Kai, as if I had been caught doing something bad. This feels weird, I haven't felt this awkward on the phone before.
Snap!
Kai suddenly heard the sound of broken glass, which seemed to come from the floor below them. As Kai approached the window, he saw pieces of glass falling.
Then Kai heard a rapid and small gunshot!
