"Maya?!" was still surprised to see Dr. Maya, Tony. It's true that Tony is a playboy, but he's not the kind of person who plays and forgets. For example, he remembers the appearance of most women with whom he has had a night out. Of course, very few people can remember names, and most of the time they need to rely on the small notebook provided by Jarvis.

But Maya still remembers, because not only did the two have had a short relationship (probably hundreds of hours) in the past, but also because Maya was also a very good researcher. Although the Maya were still penniless at that time, research was still in the embryonic stage and there were many problems. But her theories about wound healing within the body's genes kept Tony in mind. Even if he could forget what this woman looked like and could forget her name, Tony didn't forget her research topic. Perhaps from this point of view, Tony is really a very real and competent scientist.

"Long time no see, Tony. "More than ten years have passed, but Maya's face is still beautiful. Especially now, she is no longer the image of a young and beautiful girl who was just young, but has more femininity, which is a kind of precipitated beauty.

"Sit down, I really didn't expect you to come to me. Tony invited Maya to sit down: "What to drink? I've got champagne, sparkling wine and pre-blended rum here." ”

"Water, thank you. Maya said politely.

"Well, I thought you'd toast to our reunion. "Although Tony is married and has a daughter, and his private life is very restrained. But his ability to flirt with his sister is an instinct engraved in his body. As long as he sees a girl, he will tease him intentionally or unintentionally, and even he himself doesn't realize that he is flirting with his sister at all. Maybe this way of life has become an instinct of his, and probably only Pepper Peppard can put up with this kind of personality of his. If you change to another woman, I am afraid that I will be angry or divorced within a few days of marriage.

"You're married, Tony. I thought you'd keep some better manners for your wife, on the women's side. Maya said with a smile as she took the glass of water that Tony handed over.

Tony also poured himself a glass of water, and he took a sip: "Yes, I've always had a good demeanor. In fact, after establishing a relationship with Peber, I was already very ...... Well...... Well, I don't really want to use that adjective to describe myself, it feels like I'm a sissy. But I'm really well-behaved now. I didn't go to nightclubs, I didn't go to pick-ups, I didn't go to Hollywood celebrity parties or anything, can you believe it, I live in Malibu Coast, Los Angeles. (Hollywood is in Los Angeles, and Malibu Coast is another place to stay for the rich and famous, in addition to Beverly Hills.) ”

Maya smiled, "That's life, Tony. If you want to get something, you have to give up something. ”

"You're right. Tony nodded with feeling: "Okay, the old story is almost done." I guess you're not coming to me to catch up, are you? Especially after I'm married. Tony flashed his wedding ring.

"Of course, it's not just to catch up, but I'm actually here with a business plan. Maya handed Tony a tablet she had with her.

"Wow, so let me guess, you found a good investor for your plan, right?" Tony didn't open it immediately after taking the tablet, but asked with interest, "You took that medicine that can repair limbs and genetic lesions?"

"I thought it would stop, because Osborne's regenerative medicine technology has already started to be rolled out on a large scale, and there are already more than 1,000 treatment sites around the world. I thought no one would continue to invest in a similar project. This doesn't quite fit in with business planning. ”

Maya nodded, "Yes, Harry Osborne's regenerative technology has had a huge impact on my project in every way. And the funds have also been disconnected. But there is no shortage of discerning people in this world, and someone will see the promise of my products. ”

"That's an adventurous entrepreneur, who gave you the investment?" Tony opened his tablet and was about to look at it.

"That's you, Mr. Tony Stark. You and your Horizon Foundation saved my project. Maya named the investor behind it.

And Tony was a little stunned when he said this: "Wait, I don't remember if you applied for the Horizon Foundation's project fund?" Wait, this is the plan for the zodiac. You're working for Ethan now?!How do you know him?"

"Yes, that's it. Maya smiled and said, "Remember the party we knew? Actually, Dr. Ethan was there that day." I even knew him a few minutes before I knew you. Of course, Ethan was an upright scholar, and you were a prodigal boy at the time. ”

"Dr. Ethan came to me after he founded the zodiac and convinced me to join the zodiac. At that time, my project had come to a halt because of the onslaught of regenerative technology. My project was considered worthless, too repetitive with Regenerative Technology, and not as mature as the other party's technology. Maya said helplessly.

"Wait, wait!" Tony called out to Maya, "I've invested a lot of money in the zodiac, hundreds of millions of dollars." You're not saying Ethan spent most of his money on your experiments, did you?"

Maya raised her eyebrows: "So what?"

The corners of Tony's mouth pulled into a wry smile that was incomprehensible, and he felt in his heart that Ethan's decision was too wrong, and from a business point of view, his hundreds of millions of dollars might be wasted.

"The duplication rate of your work and regenerative technology is too high. Tony skimmed through the information displayed on Maya's tablet. In fact, Ethan and Maya have done quite a bit of hiding the information of the entire Desperate Virus, and many of the key things have not been revealed. It only shows its side as a healing agent.

"If you want to promote this potion, you have to fight a business war with Harry Osborne. It's going to be a protracted battle, and it's hard to say who wins and who loses in the end. "Tony has his own agenda.

"But my potions also contain some useful for the treatment of genetic diseases. Maya points out the differences: "This is something that can't be compared to regenerative technology. ”

"But Sugon has signed a tripartite agreement with Regenerative Technology and Tuvalu. The next focus of X-Pharmaceuticals will be in the field of medical regeneration, where Sugon has already collaborated with Regenerative Technology. A clear female voice came. Peber, who has spent confinement care, has regained the demeanor of a strong business woman.

She stepped on high heels and wore a white professional suit, looking extremely capable.

"Miss Maya, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm the CEO of Stark Group and Sugon Technology, and you can call me Peber. Peber politely introduced herself, but Maya had a vague sense of her strength. As if swearing sovereignty, Peber pulled Tony away from Maya without a trace.

"Genetic engineering will be the next direction of Sugon technology and regenerative technology research. Maybe we should have a good talk. Peber smiled, but Maya didn't want to talk to her at all, she thought that talking to Peber about it would probably collapse.

And Peber didn't give Tony a chance to say anything more. She turned to Tony and said, "By the way, Mr. Iron Man, I think there's one thing you need to deal with. ”

Facing Peber, Tony felt a little weak, did he just count himself as a private old lover, so he quickly said, "Okay, what's the matter?"

"Another plane of our Sugon Technology has crashed. I don't think that's a good sign. "Peber has bad news.
