The top floor of the Stark Building, the president's office.

Tony, who is the big boss of 'Stark Industries' and the much-anticipated superhero Iron Man, has to be patient to negotiate at this time.

“…… Winnie, I've stressed it many times, don't always compete with the government for those petty profits, if we take two steps back, the government will also back down in other ways, so why make such a stalemate? Tony rubbed his forehead, looking like he had a headache.

"What kind of stuff are there on the government's side, don't you know, Tony? If they had the chance, they wouldn't mind swallowing our 'Stark Industries' whole, and they wouldn't even spit out the bones! Opposite Tony, a three-dimensional phantom who looked to be about thirty years old and had orange-red hair was arguing with reason, not buying Tony's account at all.

The woman's name is Winnie, and she is the marketing manager of Stark Industries.

However, if it were only that, Tony would not have been able to persuade with such patience.

He is known to have always been an authoritarian person, and as chairman and president, he never had to consult anyone. If you want to work in 'Stark Industries', you have to listen to him, and if you don't listen, you can choose to roll up and get out, there is no second way.

Winnie, the marketing manager, is also one of the company's executives in terms of position, but there are still several layers of separation from Tony's big boss, so it's not worth mentioning at all.

But the problem is that Winnie has another identity that makes Tony lose his temper - his cousin.

Since the death of his parents, Winnie and Winnie's mother, his aunt Marina, are his last relatives in this world.

Very few people knew about it, and they could count it on one hand.

Of course, this was the result of his deliberate actions, because he knew very well that both his late father and himself had countless enemies, both openly and covertly.

He has enough strength to protect himself, so he is not afraid of those who are young.

But if those people knew that he still had a cousin like Winnie, it was hard to guarantee that they would not use some crooked brains to use Winnie to achieve some ulterior conspiracy.

In fact, while his father was still alive, Aunt Marina's written ties to the family had been erased, at least not in any known archives or sources.

All Tony did was keep it a secret.

However, secret care is definitely inevitable, and with his status and net worth, it is impossible for his only relatives to live poorly.

Even Tony's current girlfriend Pepper doesn't know about this matter.

Because of this, Pepper also had an awkward relationship with Tony because he treated Winnie so specially, and it is clear that she regarded Winnie as one of Tony's many concubines.

Tony's flowery carrot attribute is not a secret in the first place, and it is not news if he really wants to mess with a female subordinate, and it is no wonder that Pepper has this misunderstanding.

Tony, though, won't change anything because of that.

Although he is very attentive, he is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, and family, love, and friendship are all things that he can gamble his life for.

Of course, facing Winnie, a cousin who loves and hates clearly, still gives him a headache.

"It's true that the government eats people and doesn't spit out bones, but as long as I am there for a day, they will never dare to use any crooked brains against this 'Stark Industries', I can assure you." Tony said helplessly.

"But what if you're gone? Have you ever thought that there would be a situation like half a year ago that would happen again like you did all day long? Winnie's tone was a little excited, "Yes, you are a hero, you saved New York, you saved the world, and your name is known to everyone...... But you know what, if you have the slightest accident, you'll never come back! ”

"You can be lucky once, but can you guarantee that you will be so lucky every time?!"

Winnie's words were obviously not a whim, she should have wanted to say them a long time ago, but she just took this opportunity to burst out at once.

Tony wanted to say something when Winnie burst out like this, but he swallowed back when the words came to his lips, because he really couldn't give any guarantees.

Like the one half a year ago, when he flew into the opposite side of the space door with a nuclear bomb, he was already determined to die!

He had to admit that his survival was completely due to luck, and if he had to do it all over again, whether he could survive or not would also depend on luck.

Besides, what Winnie just said was exactly what he had been worried about all along.

As long as he exists, there will be no problem with Stark Industries, Pepper, or Winnie's family, but what if something really happens to him one day?

Can all this remain the way it is?

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he was unwilling to face it.

After Winnie broke out, she suddenly felt that she seemed to have gone a little too far, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm not saying that something will happen to you, but ......"

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean that." Tony interrupted her, sighing, "You have a point, it's time for me to prepare for these problems...... If something happens to me one day, I want you to take care of Pepper for me. ”

"What are you talking nonsense, I don't want to care about your mess, I warn you, if you're not there, I'll leave immediately, and I'll want to dig up my company more, hmph, so you better give me a good life!" Winnie said angrily.

"I'm talking about you—" Tony was a little stunned by this, and was about to continue, when a phone rang on the Phantom's side, interrupting him.

Winnie glanced at her phone, picked it up directly, and raised her hand to signal Tony to wait first.

This left Tony speechless again.

He, the dignified chairman and president, discussed things alone with the people under him, and he had to wait here for the other party to answer the phone, which is reasonable.

Half a minute later, Winnie hung up the phone and said to Tony, "Well, okay, you go ahead." ”

"What kind of martial arts gym did you join again?" Tony asked curiously.

"How do you know?" Winnie was surprised.

"Although I haven't studied Chinese like you, I can still tell the difference." Tony shrugged.

"Well, it seems that my master's side is going to accept a new disciple, let me go back on Sunday to witness the apprenticeship ceremony of that little junior brother." Winnie said bluntly.

"Your master doesn't seem to be simple, I sent someone to ...... before."

"That's enough, Tony!"

Winnie suddenly looked angry, "I have told you many times not to meddle in this matter, since I have chosen to apprentice, then I must respect the teacher, it is very rude for you to secretly investigate like this, if you do this again, I will really not tell you anything in the future!" ”

Tony saw that his little cousin was really angry, and immediately raised his two hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, okay, okay, I'm wrong, can't I be wrong?" I assure you with my personality that this is definitely the last time and there will be no next time. ”

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!" Winnie snorted.

After chatting, the two began to discuss the previous business with the government.
