Chapter 6: Parker and Dr. Connors
There were other passengers in the elevator this time, Parker wanted to speak several times, but Li Kang glared back with his eyes, and finally arrived on the seventy-seventh floor, surrounded by some bioengineering equipment, sophisticated electronic instruments, quantum centrifuges are the only ones Li Kang knows, this is still the content of the magazine he read in the bar when he was bored, it is a magazine dedicated to introducing the latest and most fashionable contraceptive devices.

The surrounding scientists were talking in a low voice, the content of the dialogue was all biological science terms, Li Kang could occasionally understand words like DNA, lizard, spider, etc., but together, these contents were like a magic book written in alien characters, Li Kang knew that the content of those conversations was full of infinite knowledge, but unfortunately it was not related to him.
Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a gentle voice was explaining to a group of interns, the middle-aged man's explanation attracted everyone's attention, as if no one noticed, the middle-aged man's right arm was empty, it turned out that he was a disabled person.
"That's Dr. Connors, many years ago, because of a scientific accident, Dr. Connors lost an arm, but he survived strongly, and through years of biological genome and research, he successfully cured many incurable diseases, he is my idol, and my parents used to be colleagues, I have a lot to ask him. Parker looked at Dr. Connors in fascination.
Dr. Connors is handsome, urbane and humorous, and has no pretensions at all, looking like a high school biology teacher, and indeed has an attractive charm, Parker can't help but take a few steps forward.
"First of all, on behalf of the Osborne Group, I would like to welcome you to come, today I am your instructor, please don't care about my right hand, after so many years of training, my left hand has already been more flexible than my right hand, and it will definitely not delay everyone's time. Dr. Connors moved his empty right arm with some self-deprecation, and the interns laughed heartily.
"Guys, I think you're all interested in biotechnology since you're here, and if your ambition is to be a mechanical engineer, come on, you're in the wrong company, and you should go to the Stark Group, Tony Stark, but I think you're all idealistic young people who don't bother to be in the company of arms dealers, right?" Dr. Connors obviously didn't have a good impression of the Stark Group.
It is no wonder that although the research fields of the two Osborne Group and the Stark Group are different, the Osborne Group has always been a leader in the field of biomedical technology, while the Stark Group is just an upstart arms dealer, and there is a difference between the two in terms of realm.
In the past, the Stark Group was not enough to compare with the Osborne Group, but since Tony Stark took the helm of the Stark Group, with his superhuman intelligence and infinite talent for arms design, the Stark Group has completely suppressed the Osborne Group in the field of arms and has become a powerful company that can compete with the Osborne Group, so the employees of the Osborne Group are somewhat hostile to the Stark Group.
Especially the employees who study the medical field, they look down on the Stark Group who make a fortune by selling murder tools, and although Dr. Connors is very self-contained, he is not immune to ridicule the Stark Group.
"Hahaha.... That's right!" This innocuous ridicule completely relaxed everyone, and the atmosphere became warm.
Dr. Connors then used himself as an introduction to lead the discussion to a lively discussion. The ultimate goal of my research is to open up the ultimate secret of life itself, to make up for all our own defects, to create a world without defects, these can only be found in biotechnology, for example, I lost an arm in an accident, then it is very easy for me to create a mechanical prosthetic for myself, but I don't want to do that, because it is only a prosthesis, not my real arm, so if I really want to heal myself, what should I do?"
The students gave their answers, some said stem cell embryo technology, some said genetic cloning technology.... And their respective explanations are given.
"Well, everyone's answers are very close, but unfortunately they are not perfect, life itself is homologous, can we discuss this aspect?" Dr. Connors said.
"I think we should start with the genetic aspects of cross-species organisms. Parker didn't know which tendon was wrong, but he took the initiative to stand up and give his own answer, which attracted everyone's attention, including Gwen Stacy.
Gwen was taken aback when she saw Parker, and when she saw Parker's ID card, she was taken aback again, she and Parker were classmates in the same high school, speaking of which, between the two, there were some ambiguous feelings for each other, Parker was often bullied when he was in school, and Gwen helped him a lot.
It's a pity that Gwen is beautiful and the daughter of the New York City Police Commissioner, and she is a celebrity in school, and she is too far away from the unknown Parker's identity, and the gap in identity causes Parker, who has extremely low self-esteem, to delay taking action.
Dr. Connors has promised Gwen's father to write a letter of recommendation to Gwen, with a letter of recommendation from such an authoritative person, Gwen wants to go to the university of his choice is a sure thing, so although Gwen was surprised, but after much consideration, he did not expose Parker on the spot.
"Oh, this classmate has a very special idea, can you give me a few examples?" Dr. Connors smiled meaningfully at the corners of his mouth, and anyone could tell that he was pleased with Parker's answer.
"For example... For example, Parkinson's syndrome is caused by the trauma caused by the body's stem cells stopping secreting dopamine, and the DNA of zebrafish can make the function of releasing dopamine from replacement stem cells, if patients with Parkinson's disease can obtain this part of the gene of black grouper, it can completely cure this incurable disease, and for example, the arm you lost, because cold-blooded animals such as lizards have a strong regenerative function, if you can obtain this part of the gene, your arm regeneration, it is not impossible. ”
Parker didn't look at the others, but stared at Dr. Connors as if the others didn't exist, and he stuttered a little at first, but as he focused mentally, the stammering that came and went at that time disappeared.
The smile on Dr. Connors's face became thicker and thicker, and Gwen beside him also looked at Parker intently, the eloquent Parker in front of him was really a luminous person, and the introverted, stammering Parker in the school were completely two people, Gwen was deeply attracted by Parker's way of talking about science.
"Miss Gwen, please take note of this classmate's information, I think in the future, if possible, I will contact this classmate again, maybe we can work together again in the future. Dr. Connors's words caused an uproar among the interns.
Even Gwen couldn't help but turn her head to look at Dr. Connors, who looked very gentle, but when it came to science, he was the most rigorous person, and he had never heard him praise anyone, let alone record the information of an intern, especially the sentence "we may work together in the future", which had an earth-shattering effect.
"This classmate, please leave your message. Gwen stubbornly walked over to Parker's side.
"My name is Peter...."Parker was nervous at the sight of Gwen.
"Mr. Mosby, it's really nice to have you come to our internship. Gwen reacted quickly to stop Parker's words, she looked nervously left and right, and saw that the other interns didn't notice, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but at a glance saw Li Kang next to Parker.
"Miss Gwen, we meet again. Li Kang's five fingers swung a few times in the air, jokingly greeting.
"Is that you? how did you get in?" Gwen felt a little short of breath, this work meant a lot to her, she thought it would be just a visit with some interns and make some records, but first she met her high school classmates, and then met Li Kang, who was obviously not a high school student.
"He was an employee of the Osborne Group and escorted me in. Parker didn't know what was going on, and he took the initiative to help Lee Kang-round with this lie.
"He's an employee of the Osborne Group?!" Gwen finally couldn't hold back and said very loudly, immediately causing several people to look back.
Li Kang sighed, took out the magic tarot card, and flipped it over.
Parker couldn't help but roll his eyes, he had also suffered the loss of this tarot card, although he didn't know what the principle was, but he was very unhappy when he saw that his sweetheart was about to be hit.
"Osborne Group, the staff of the warehousing department, it turned out to be the warehousing department, the warehouse is on the second basement floor, how did you meet it?" asked Gwen curiously.
The warehousing department turned out to be underground, Li Kang patted his head, it was really stupid, all the company's warehousing departments should be underground.
"We just met by chance, I thought he was an intern, so I kindly sent him up, you talk first, I have to go to work. Now that Li Kang knows the location of the warehousing department, he can't wait to fly over immediately, as long as a small hard disk downloads the shipment records of this month, the task will be completed.
"Wait, I'll go with you. Parker suddenly offered to go with him, causing both Kang and Gwen to stare at him strangely.
"Why do you want to follow me? I'm going to work, you can do an internship obediently, don't you and this Miss Gwen have a good impression of each other? Why don't you take advantage of this time to have a good chat? Young people should seize the opportunity, understand?" Li Kang said a little angrily.
"Mr. Li Kang, don't talk nonsense, before me and Parker... Nothing. Gwen's pretty face flushed with shame, her eyes dodging, and instead of looking at Parker, she brushed her hair with one hand.
A girl is like this, if she really has a good impression of you, no matter how ugly she says or how cold her expression is, as long as she pulls her hair like this, it is equivalent to not admitting herself, which shows that she cares about you in her heart.
It's a pity that Parker doesn't understand this, "Miss Gwen is right, we don't have the kind of relationship you said, I have to follow you." ”
"Why?" questioned Gwen this time.
"Because... Mr. Li Kang kindly took me upstairs, I want to express my gratitude, I would like to invite Mr. Li Kang to have a cup of coffee. Parker replied scrambledly.
"Do you have any money? The cafes around here are very fancy ones. Gwen frowned, kindly reminded.
"I have money on me, don't worry. Parker's face was flushed, obviously because he didn't have any money with him.
