Behind every successful man is a good woman.

For Playboy Tony, this woman is undoubtedly the shrewd, capable, sexy and charming female assistant "Little Pepper", Pepper Potts.

So if Tony is afraid of anyone who gets angry, Pepper can count as one.

"Are you kidding?"

Pepper dragged a box in a trailer straight into the lab, and her angry voice could be heard from afar, "What are you thinking?" Losing your company, losing your job, huddled in the lab for four whole days without going out, do you know how messy it has become outside? The entrance of the company is crowded with reporters every day! ”

"Okay, okay, calm down first." Tony subconsciously raised his hand, "Jarvis, search for the latest news about Stark Industries." ”

"Yes, sir."

On the projection control screens installed around the laboratory, the first thing that surfaced was the battle scene on the street that day.

The main shots have been placed on the "mirage building", and various reports have been brushed out.

"Sir, the news these days is mainly about your guests, and all the reporters are speculating about the true identity of the large mech pilot, as well as his relationship with you, because there are drones that have filmed the large mechs and finally landed at your residence." Jarvis sifted through all the information and selected the most typical ones.

"So what the hell is that mech...... Oh my God, is this the mech? ”

It was only then that Pepper noticed the mirage that had been placed in a prominent position in the lab.

"That's right, yes, I've been working on it these days." Tony turned the news off, he didn't care about any of that.

"So what about the driver inside, you left her here?" Pepper subconsciously felt that it was not so simple, "Is it really the same as the media said, the driver inside is actually a blonde beauty?" That's why you've been able to stay in Tony Stark's villa for so long? ”

"Oh, if you're talking about the river, he's right behind you."

"Scared—"

Pepper spun around in shock.

Because a man with a wine glass, the man in his pajamas was indeed standing at the door of the laboratory.

"Hello, Ms. Potts, I'm Shen He." Shen He walked in and said hello, "Now it's a guest here." ”

"Yes, it's that simple." Tony's fingers were manipulating on the virtual projection, and all around was floating the structural data about the mirage building, "Pepper, don't care what those media say, they always like to fabricate some news for fear that the world will not mess up, you see, I'm busy, really, very busy." ”

"So you're staying here just to study this mech?"

Potts seemed deflated all of a sudden, she knew how much Tony loved mechs, and once he was fully engaged in research, it was normal for him to go days without showing up like this.

What's more, there are outsiders present now, even if there is a stomach of complaints, in front of unfamiliar strangers, she will still save some face for Tony.

"Of course, this is no ordinary mech."

Speaking of work, Tony's expression was also a little excited, and he stood in front of the mirage building with amazement, "Although it can't be compared to my Mark at all, the operating system is a mess, but that kind of defensive force field is very powerful, give me another week, and I can shrink it and load it on the new generation of Mark armor." ”

"Well, that is...... You won't be there three days later? ”

"No, you can go for me." Tony waved his hand indifferently.

"Me? I'm just a secretary! That reception was all CEOs of big companies! Pepper took a deep breath to suppress the anger inside.

"Yes." Tony didn't turn his head, "Then you too." ”

“......”

Pepper's angry expression froze on his face.

"You...... Say what? ”

"I said, from now on, you are the new CEO of Stark Industries, CEO." Tony turned around and looked at the secretary who had been working at Stark Industries since his father was still around, "Maybe there are legal matters, but you know, I have the right to decide my heir, and that's you, congratulations, you can scream right now, or go to a promotion party." ”

"But I, I ......"

Pepper didn't know what to say for a moment.

But the smile on her face couldn't be stopped, she looked at Tony, and Tony looked at her, at this moment, Pepper felt that her efforts for so long were worth it.

Shen He stood aside, sipping a small sip of wine, feeling like he was being fed a mouthful of dog food.

But he was more concerned with one other thing.

If his information these days is not wrong, the drinking party three days later seems to be a plot point, and there is also a racing race that day, Tony, who feels that he is dying, will go to the car to indulge himself, and then meet the villain of this movie for the first time.

And now, Tony doesn't plan to go to the drinking party.

What is going to happen to the poor villain, Ivan Vanke?

"Alright, that's it."

Tony felt as if he had made a big decision, and he was a little more relaxed, and then he looked at the box that Pepper dragged over, "What's in here, it looks quite heavy, a gift from a fan?" ”

"No, this is what Agent Coulson asked me to bring you." Pepper didn't recover from the surprise a little, but subconsciously replied, "I heard him say that this is your father's relic." ”

"My father's relics?" Tony was stunned, "Why did they give me my father's relics?" ”

All right......

Shen He was stunned.

It's messed up, it's all messed up, Tony's birthday party is half a month later, and he gets his father's relics from S.H.I.E.L.D., and the plot to find a solution to palladium poisoning should be at a later point in time.

Is this the so-called butterfly effect?

Shen He sighed in his heart and interjected: "Your father, Howard Stark, is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., he is a very great person, Tony, you are also his greatest pride. ”

"You...... Say what? Tony looked at Shen He in disbelief.

In his memory, he was not loved by his father, who was just busy with work all day until he suddenly died in a car accident on some deserted road.

"Everything you want to know is in this box." Shen He looked at the box on the ground, "He gave you the greatest achievement of his life, and this has become the key to saving you, Tony, your father is just not good at expressing his love for his children, just like many fathers." ”

"Sounds like you know my father better than I do......" Tony crouched down and opened the box, which looked like it was full of old-fashioned stuff.

"Didn't I say that?" Shen He shrugged, "We have been observing, whether it is the past or the future. ”
