Chapter 198: Old Acquaintances
Peppard has been very busy lately, very busy, so to speak, busy feet on the ground. Because in addition to being responsible for managing the normal operation of the entire Stark Group, she also has her own personal affairs to deal with.
This leaves her busy with little time to rest and sleep every day, which makes her feel a little tired physically. But in spirit, Peppard seemed very happy. Because the private matters to be dealt with are very important to her.
Yes, very important private matters. Peppard touched the ring on his ring finger and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Although she is busy, her steps are still brisk.
She and Tony have already set a wedding date. In fact, legally speaking, the two are already husband and wife, because they have registered their marriage.
But the wedding has not yet taken place, and for the vast majority of people, the sense of ceremony of the wedding is very important. If a marriage is missing a wedding, then there will always be a feeling that something is missing.
Tony buys a small island near New Zealand as a wedding venue, and Pepp has no objection. Although after becoming Mrs. Stark, Peppard felt that sometimes she needed to restrain Tony's habit of spending lavishly (mainly to restrain him from spending tens of millions of dollars to have a lavish party and then invite a bunch of supermodels to do the wine pool meat forest).
Pepp's footsteps hummed briskly, happily doing the day's basic work in his office. The various tedious administrative tasks did not make her feel dull at all, but Peibo felt a sense of responsibility.
After all, Tony is unreliable in business, for the future of the two, especially for the baby in his belly. Peppard feels like she needs to work hard! Can't let Tony lose all his possessions!
If it depends on Tony, maybe the Stark Group will go bankrupt in the future, but maybe the whole family will have to get relief at that time. Thinking of this, Peibo felt terrible. (Note)
The husband can't be trusted, so the only one who can rely on himself is Pei Bo's true colors as a strong woman are undoubtedly revealed. Although the Stark Group is indeed Tony's name, Tony and Pepp, as well as those who know the relationship between Tony and Peppard, are clear.
In fact, in this company, Peppon has always made money for Tony to spend, and of course Tony has also contributed, but only in the field of scientific research. Administration and operations, Tony doesn't care at all. Tony is completely decentralised in this regard, which means that he has met Pepper Pepp, who is loyal to him.
If it were any other white-eyed wolf, he might have set Tony Stark in the air, or even kicked Tony Stark out of the company.
This is common in business society, and the founders of a company don't necessarily follow the company to the end. Many of the original shareholders were kicked out one by one by the big capitalists who joined later after the company became bigger, even including the people who established the company.
So there is a tacit understanding between Tony and Pepp. And this tacit understanding is also reflected in the family status, Tony can ask for all kinds of things willfully, and Peppard will generally agree. Although Pepp is very spicy in the management of business competition companies, he is still very gentle with Tony.
But if Pepp says something doesn't work, it's not negotiable. Then there's really no negotiation, unless Tony is going to break with her completely. It's like the earliest new energy event.
At that time, Peppard objected to Tony's taking too big a step, she was not against the operation of new energy, but she was against Tony's radical approach. In PEIBO's business plan, the new energy plan is a step that needs to be planned for ten years and then taken step by step.
But Tony was a bit arrogant at the time, believing that everything was under his control. So he forcibly pushed to the new energy plan, as well as the helium-3 plan for mining the moon. And the consequence of this plan is that for a period of time, Pepper Peppard and Tony completely fell out.
And then there was war in Eastern Europe, and the whole world felt a terrible cloud, and some even said that a new Cold War era was coming.
Fortunately, a lot of things happened after that, whether it was the compromise of Doom, or the battle of New York, or now the super-high-speed rail. These things have diverted everyone's attention. In particular, the emergence of the prototype of the Earth Federation Management Agency has another binding force on this world.
At this point, the riots caused by new energy sources are over. But Peppard felt that it was still a pity. Because at that time, in addition to himself, there was also Dr. Ethan who opposed Tony's new energy plan.
In order to warn Tony, he even did not hesitate to leave the United States and return to his hometown in Afghanistan. Peppard touched the ring on her hand, she missed Dr. Ethan a little.
He was a very good friend, suave, and extremely personable. The important thing is that he saved Tony's life in a time of crisis, and for Tony and Pepp, Dr. Ethan is probably one of the few people in the world who can fully believe it.
It's a pity that he couldn't be invited to Tony's wedding, Peppard thought with some disappointment. Since Dr. Ethan left for Afghanistan, she and Tony have lost track of Ethan.
Now there is no way to find him to attend the wedding of the two of them. While Pepp was thinking about these things, Tony walked in excitedly. There was an indescribable joy on his face, a smile of joy that Pepp rarely saw.
The last time I saw it was when Tony learned that he was going to be a dad.
Tony laughed loudly, "Pepp, Pepp, you can't think who's coming!" I couldn't believe my eyes, I parked the car and walked through the door of the company and saw him. I thought he was still mad at me and wasn't even going to come to my wedding!
Pepp was a little puzzled by Tony's excitement: "Wait, who are you talking about?"
Tony gestured to the door of the office, "Our old friend, Dr. Ethan, he's back!"
Following Tony's voice, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the office. A thin and slender body, a gentle smile, and a decent black suit. It's Dr. Ethan, who I haven't seen for a long time.
Almost in disbelief in her eyes, Pepper walked quickly to Dr. Ethan's side, "Is it really you?"
Dr. Ethan smiled slightly, "It's really me, I haven't seen Miss Peppard for a long time." Oh no, maybe I should call you Mrs. Stark?"
Peppard gave Dr. Ethan a hug, "It's really nice to see you again, Dr., if I think anyone should be the best person to attend this wedding, then you must be one of them." If it weren't for you, maybe Tony would have died somewhere in the Middle East. ”
Tony stroked his beard, "Okay, okay, you've reminded me so many times, Pep. ”
When Pepp let go of Dr. Ethan, Ethan glanced at the ring on Peppard's hand without a trace. He was about to say something when another man walked in with the secretary.
He came in and said hello to Tony and Pepp, and then said, "Tony, does Shuguang Technology Group still have more hair growth water?"
PS: Note: In the new all-out comic book story, Tony did fall into financial crisis after Peppard left Tony. He fell into a situation where he spent more and more, and earned less and less. The company's stock kept falling, and finally Tony Stark was swept away by the board.
Iron Man Tony ended up bankrupt. With no money or equipment to repair his steel armor, he had to go to the junkyard and scrap car factory to find barely usable parts.
The Avengers' funds were also cut off, and the Avengers Mansion was confiscated. In the end, Deadpool found an abandoned theater and got a base.
He opened a store at the front door to sell Deadpool toys and merchandise, and relying on the money from selling merchandise and autographed photos and working as a mercenary, Deadpool barely supported the minimum expenses of the Avengers.
