Chapter 71: Christmas Eve (1)
On December 24, Warren's private jet arrived on time in the Antarctic ice field and returned to the United States with Li Ji.
"Gage, how was your practice this time?" Warren didn't fly the plane himself this time, but found a pilot, so that he could sit and drink with Li Ji.
"It's not bad, although it's a little unexpected, but the overall feeling is okay." Lee clinked glasses of Sprite with Warren's red wine and drank it down.
"I really envy your physique." Warren also drank the red wine, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to stand the cold and loneliness of Antarctica." ”
"Not really." Li Ji was telling the truth, the temperature in Antarctica was not cold for him at all, as for loneliness, it was a little bit at first, but after the Hulk came, it made Li Ji feel a little nostalgic for the feeling of being alone before.
Generally speaking, Li Ji's cultivation this time is still very successful, although the strength has not increased much, but it has consolidated the power that has been improved in the previous year, according to Li Ji's strength improvement speed, maybe when he will be like Peter now, he will not be able to control his own strength, and destroy the possession of God.
In addition, he also witnessed the changes in Hulk, although in three days, Hulk did not return to Banner's appearance, but seeing Hulk's performance, Li Ji suddenly had some confidence.
……
Back in New York, Li Ji went directly to Tony's villa. The artificial intelligence in the villa added Li Ji's information some time ago, and Li Ji didn't need to practice Tony to enter the villa.
Tony hadn't returned yet, but the scene in the villa was well set up, and in the central hall, a huge Christmas tree with gift boxes hanging all the way to the roof. The surroundings were also full of various Christmas supplies, and Li Ji took a look at the decoration and knew that it was Pep's handiwork.
"Tony wouldn't do such a boring thing, he would just invite a bunch of elk girls to a Christmas Eve party." Li Ji walked into the bathroom, one of the disadvantages of Antarctica, is that he can't take a bath, although the weather in Antarctica, it won't make people dirty, but Li Ji still feels uncomfortable.
Lying in the bathtub, Meimei took a bubble bath, Li Ji wore Tony's nightgown and lay down directly on the sofa.
"It's a little short, hey, Tony's guy isn't long." With a snap of his fingers, the light automatically turned dim, Li Ji closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
……
"Hey, Gage." A female voice suddenly sounded in Li Ji's ears, which made Li Ji feel excited and sat up directly.
"Pep?" Li Ji looked at the blanket on his body, "Is this what you covered for me?" ”
"No, Tony covered it for you." Pep, who was crouching on the couch, stood up, "It's time to get up, the turkey hasn't been killed yet, Tony may need your help." ”
Li Ji stood up, stretched, and walked to the garden behind the villa, where Tony was holding a machete and aiming it at a black turkey.
"Tony, do you need my help?" Li Ji said with a smile, but the person sat down, looking like he was watching a play.
"No, I've asked Jarvis to help me analyze the best way to slaughter this turkey, just look at it!" Tony's body was arched, and the appearance of holding a machete in both hands was very funny, which made Li Ji a little can't help laughing.
"Laughing at what? Are you questioning Jarvis' professionalism? If you also have Jarvis as an assistant, you will never wear such a short dressing gown! Tony said disdainfully.
"It's your dressing gown." Li Ji retorted.
"Oh! God, it's no wonder I often feel that my nightgown is inexplicably one size larger, it turns out that you are all responsible! Tony walked over and put the machete in Li Ji's hand, "To compensate me, you have to help me kill the turkey." ”
Li Ji didn't take the machete, stood up, walked to the turkey, reached out, and the inner abdominal frame of the index finger and middle finger clamped the turkey's red neck and crushed the bones: "Do the panties also feel a size bigger?" ”
"Oh, Shift!" Tony scolded, and Li Ji threw down the dead turkey and walked back, "You don't need my help with the work of removing hair." (It's good to understand, I'm afraid of being blocked from that word)
"Those Pep will work it out." Tony put the machete aside and walked into the villa.
"It's really Tony's style." Li Ji spread his hands.
The next thing basically had nothing to do with Tony and Li Ji, Pep was busy, Tony ran to the underground research room, while Li Ji sat on the sofa and watched TV. There are many programs about Christmas on TV, and Li Ji switches them casually.
"Happy Christmas Eve." Li Ji's mobile phone rang suddenly, it turned out to be a text message from Peter, Li Ji was about to reply, the mobile phone suddenly rang, it was Alvas's phone.
"Hey, Alvas." Li Ji answered the phone.
"Hey, Lee, my brother, how are you doing?" Alvas greeted.
"Not bad, what about you? IS ARDYH'S ECONOMIC SITUATION BETTER? Li Ji said.
"Much better, thanks to your funds." Alvar said happily.
"Then did you call me this time to tell me Happy Christmas Eve?" Li Ji asked, Alvas has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and calling over is definitely not a simple greeting.
"Uh, this, bless you and Tony. Happy Christmas Eve, Mr. Stark, is the most important thing, but there are a few other little things. Alvas said.
"Say it." Li Ji really didn't guess wrong.
"It's just whether the second tranche of funds, which was originally scheduled to arrive in February, can be a little earlier, and the company's research has made a breakthrough, so the funding gap has become a little bigger." Alvas said hesitantly.
"Is that all? I'll tell Tony. If Tony agrees, Jeff Bridges will come and negotiate with you after the Christmas break. Li Ji smiled, of course, he didn't tell the truth, and he wasn't going to tell Tony about this matter, let alone give the ARDYH Group a loan in advance.
"Thank you so much, my brother, and I wish you a happy Christmas Eve." Alvas said excitedly, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"You're welcome, Alvas, we're good brothers! Happy Christmas Eve to you too. Li Jile said happily, and hung up the phone after speaking.
"It seems that there is something wrong with the ARDYH Group, and it should soon be revealed, which is really good news for people to have a happy Christmas Eve." Li Ji wiped his chin and pondered secretly.
"Happy Christmas Eve! Plum. The phone rang again, this time with a text message from Windell.
Li Ji looked at the few contacts on his phone and chose to send it in a group: "Happy Christmas Eve." ”
"Tony, get Gage. Stark's information, read it or not! In the basement research room, Jarvis suddenly reported.
"Don't look at it, it must be a mass Christmas Eve message, that kid, he doesn't even bother to send a message manually, sooner or later he will die of laziness."
