Chapter 17: Tony

Although, there were some impulsive thoughts in his heart, which made Li Ran want to go to Tony Stark's side right now to brush up on a wave of legends.

However, when it came to the actual situation, Li Ran quickly calmed down.

Although Tony Stark has not yet become the Iron Man who saves the world, his two identities as the chairman of Stark Industries and the most well-known playboy in New York still attract attention to his every move. Not to mention, his father, Howard Stark, was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D.

If Tony Stark didn't have S.H.I.E.L.D. agents by his side, Li Ran wouldn't have believed it even if he was killed.

Even, Li Ran boldly speculated that if Tony Stark hadn't taken the initiative to go to Afghanistan to test his latest weapons in the future, he might not have been given the opportunity to suffer from various difficulties in the future, and of course, there might never be an Iron Man.

Having said so much, could it be that Li Ran really gave up looking for Tony Stark.

Of course not, there have been examples of Super Daredevil and this Hulk incident before, and Li Ran has clearly understood the legendary gap that can be brought about between American comic characters and ordinary people.

This kind of gap may not be obvious in the current [Black Iron Treasure Chest] of 1,000 points of legend, but in the future, when it comes to bronze and silver and even gold treasure chests, it is obviously quite unrealistic to think about relying on the 0.03~0.05 points of legend from the citizens of New York.

What's more, the appearance of the Hulk this time also made Li Ran subconsciously feel a little urgent in his heart.

The appearance of the Hulk is also a reminder to Li Ran to some extent that the time is not far from the first Avengers' New York War.

That level of combat is not something he can handle with the two D-rank cards in his hand now.

It seems that the time has come to speed up the process.

"James, where are you?"

"It's nothing, I'll come out and drink saliva."

Li Ran turned his head, looked at the beautiful gold in the bedroom, and then replied with a smile.

……

The next day, most of the media in New York published a follow-up report on the latest events in Manhattan.

Under the influence of obvious military involvement, the original Hulk havoc in Manhattan turned into an ordinary gas pipeline explosion.

After the incident, although there are also a small number of media, such as the Clarion Daily, who are chasing the truth, it is obvious that it has not achieved the overall situation.

"I swear, I really saw it, the green monster appeared in the movie theater, and I also deliberately left a movie ticket for that day as proof."

"A Chinese man, he kicked such a big, not such a big stone with one kick, you can't imagine how cool the situation was at that time, so I went to Chinatown to worship a kung fu master to learn kung fu, although he is Korean, and teaches karate courses."

The ripples of the Hulk incident, except for bringing a little sporadic legend to Li Ran, do not seem to have any discussion heat.

Even, a few days later, the forgetful citizens of New York will forget what happened in Manhattan and return to their original lives.

……

"Hogan, remember to help me wash the car, there's an important appointment waiting for me in the evening."

Throwing the key into the hands of the driver, Happy, Tony walked into the Stark Industries building with a cynical smile on his face.

"You're late, Tony." Looking down at the time in his hand again, Pepper said to Tony.

"Everyone is already waiting for you in the conference room."

"Hey, take it easy, Pepper, you're a little too nervous, and it's not a big meeting. In fact, even if I don't come to today's meeting, you can do it for me. ”

Tony's words of trust made Pepper Pepper smile subconsciously, but then retracted: "No, you are Tony Stark, and the shareholders of today's meeting are specially rushed here for you." ”

"In that case, there's no need to rush, after all, superstars are always the last to appear."

"Tony ......"

"Okay, okay, I'll admit it." Seeing that the expression on Pepper's face had changed slightly, Tony restrained his hippie smile and replied seriously, "I overslept." ”

"But I already told Jarvis about the time of the meeting."

"I know, so I made a point of asking Jarvis to call me an hour late, after all, you know I slept late."

"I think it's a late date."

"Wow, Pepper, you still know me." Seeing that Pepper's face was getting more and more ugly, Tony changed the subject: "Say, what kind of meeting is it today?" ”

"It's about the change in the company's stock price during this time, and the recent upward trend in the stock price of Hammer Industries is said to be because one of their latest products has been targeted by the military and will become a common equipment for a special unit, so shareholders are a little worried about whether the stock price of Stark Industries will be affected by this."

"Just because of this?"

"Shareholders need some confidence, Tony."

"Okay."

Tony shrugged his shoulders and nodded in response to Pepper's request.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Tony straightened his expression and pushed open the door to the conference room.

Walking into the conference room, Tony first saw Obadia's face, he nodded subconsciously, and then turned his head to look at the shareholders in the conference room, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."

……

"Mr. Stark, what do you want to tell us about Stark Industries' recent delay in launching new products? Some of our shareholders agree that your recent performance has been too ostentatious, and there is reason to suspect that you have not paid attention to the company's products at all during this time. ”

"There's nothing to say, Mr. Lister, in fact if you and your friends think there's something wrong with Stark Industries, you can sell your own shares, and I have no opinion at all."

Tony's tough answer not only made the shareholders who asked the question look ugly, but Pepper, who was standing behind him, also changed color slightly.

"Tony."

In the end, it was Obadiah, a shareholder and his father's former friend, who spoke up that made Tony restrain his behavior.

Sweeping his gaze over the people in the conference room, Tony immediately spoke: "I know that recently, the shareholders of the company have had some opinions about my recent performance, and I am here today to remind some people that the reason why Stark Industries has been able to develop to its current status is not because of the stocks in your mouth, or other balabala things......"

"It's this."

Tony pointed to his head and looked around.

"In addition, I already have a general idea of the company's latest products, and it shouldn't take long for you to see them."
