Chapter 138: A Chance Encounter
When he woke up in the morning, as soon as Ling Xiao stretched out his hand, a slippery body was taken into his arms with a little force.
Zhou Qian belongs to the kind of black long straight that looks a little pure, but only when you get to the bed do you know how hot her figure is, especially after Ling Xiao's moisturization for half a year.
"You're awake!" Zhou Qian opened her eyes a little dazed, lay on Ling Xiao's chest, and asked sleepily, "What time is it?" ”
"It's almost seven o'clock, and it's not dawn yet." Ling Xiao was pressed by the two soft balls on his chest and couldn't help but swim around Zhou Qian's body again, and at the same time whispered: "Do you want to sleep for a while, don't you go to work at nine o'clock in the morning!" ”
Zhou Qian's company belongs to the kind of small company that does import and export procedures, and there are only a dozen people in the whole company, and the salary is not high, which is barely enough to live, Ling Xiao is willing to support Zhou Qian, but she is stubborn and unwilling to rely on Ling Xiao to live.
There was always a sense of insecurity in her heart, what if the two broke up at some point!
"No, I'll get up and make you breakfast." Zhou Qian struggled to get up, but she didn't pay attention, and her smooth and plump upper body was all revealed in front of Ling Xiao's eyes.
Ling Xiao finally couldn't help but hold Zhou Qian in his arms again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then put his hands on her shoulders and kissed her.
The two kissed gently, softly, and lingeringly for more than two minutes, and the passion rose again, and the passion lingered warmly......
The clouds and rain stopped, the exhausted two people hugged each other in sweat, and Ling Xiao's hand wandered dishonestly on Zhou Qian's body, but the girl was already sleepy and fell asleep again.
After lying on the bed for a few more minutes, Ling Xiao was the first to get up, and after taking a shower, he sat on the floor of the living room by himself, and spit out at the newly emerging early sun in the east......
When Ling Xiao left, he put the prepared breakfast on the dining seat in the living room, and after all this was done, he rushed to the Stark Building in Manhattan.
Less than 20 kilometers away, Ling Xiao walked for more than half an hour, after all, it was the time to go to work, especially the traffic jam in Manhattan is a very common time.
Entering the Stark Building, the clean and bright hall was full of hurried staff, Ling Xiao walked to the VIP elevator leading to the top floor, swiped his card, and waited for the elevator to come down, at this time, a somewhat petite, but very plump white-collar woman walked quickly to the elevator from the outside.
She took out her identity card and was just about to swipe it, the elevator door opened at this time, Ling Xiao nodded at the woman, stretched out her hand, and said very politely: "Lady first!" ”
"Thank you!" The white-collar woman nodded at Ling Xiao, and then took the lead in the VIP elevator, and Ling Xiao followed in.
The elevator closed, and the white-collar woman turned sideways and said with a polite smile on her face, "Hello, I'm Natalie Rushman, Miss Pepper's new assistant, and I used to work in the legal department. ”
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, nodded, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself: "Hello, Miss Rushman! My name is Ling, and I'm Miss Pepper's personal shaper, and I think you were the one who contacted me before. ”
"Yes!" Natalie Rushman shook Ling Xiao's hand gently, and said with a formulaic smile: "I only took over this job recently, you can just call me Natalie." ”
"Okay, Miss Natalie." Ling Xiao carefully looked at the woman in front of him who seemed to be of Eastern European descent, with a rare spiritual face, and a pair of green eyes that were very eye-catching, wait, Eastern Europe, Natalie, Natasha, Natasha Romanoff, Black Widow?
Ling Xiao almost screamed in surprise, but fortunately, at this time, the elevator door opened, and Natasha walked outside, not noticing a trace of horror flashing on Ling Xiao's face, and when she turned around, Ling Xiao's face had returned to calm.
Tony Stark is very busy, after all, this time the Stark Expo invited thousands of companies from all over the world, different facilities, booths, inventions, and will last for a whole year, and there are many things that he and Pepper want to participate in deciding.
Even so, Tony Stark and Pepper still deliberately took time out of their time to wait for Ling Xiao to arrive in the top office.
In the entire Stark Industries, the only people who know Tony Stark's physical condition are Pepper and the bodyguard Hogan, and the three of them are now in the top office, and there are also heads of several departments, and everyone is discussing some things.
Seeing Ling Xiao's appearance, Pepper nodded at him, and then said a few words to Hogan behind him, Hogan glanced up at Ling Xiao and walked towards him, while the Black Widow on the side walked towards Pepper, she had several documents in her hand that needed to be signed by Pepper and Stark.
"Mr. Ling, please come here!" Hogan led Ling Xiao away from everyone's gaze and walked down the stairs to the side of the lounge.
"Harpy, may I ask a question, when did that Miss Natalie come to the company, and what does she know about Mr. Stark's physical condition as Miss Potts' assistant?" Ling Xiao followed Hogan into the lounge, closed the door, and Ling Xiao asked with some curiosity.
Hogan has a good relationship with Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao has been back and forth more than a dozen times to treat Tony Stark, and he is familiar with it.
Hearing Ling Xiao ask, Hogan understood the meaning of his words and nodded. Turning around, she glanced at Natalie through the glass door, and then whispered: "She has been in the company for three months, a while ago, because she started to organize the fair, Miss Potts needed an assistant to help deal with some things, Natalie is one of the three candidates, her personal information is personally reviewed by me, there is no problem." ”
"It's fine." Ling Xiao nodded slightly, seemingly relieved, but deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Don't bring the impression of Hogan in the movie and TV series into reality, as Stark's most trusted person besides Pepper, Hogan was born in Brooklyn, New York, before working as Stark's bodyguard, he was a member of the United States Marine Corps, and after retiring from the army, he also worked as Stark's bodyguard.
During his time in the U.S. Marine Corps, Hogan participated in top-secret missions more than once, sometimes within the military, and sometimes with agencies such as the CIA, DEA, and FBI to conduct joint operations overseas.
He is a man of great personal ability, proficient in firearms, boxing, free fighting, wilderness survival, and even manipulating radar and firing lethal missiles, he is Stark's most powerful assistant besides Pepper and Jarvis, and is the head of Stark's industrial security department.
With Hogan's ability, he was unable to find any flaws in Natalie's resume, and Ling Xiao could only sigh for it, the people of S.H.I.E.L.D. really did not leak anything, and he was now beginning to wonder if his previous encounter with Natalie at the elevator below was deliberately arranged.
After all, Ling Xiao's appearance is really a bit strange, as a Chinese medicine doctor who runs a pharmacy in Los Angeles, even if he has unique abilities, it is impossible for Pepper to still need his services after he arrives in New York, as long as you look into it a little closely, you can find the strangeness in it.
It seems that it is not strange that he is being targeted, thinking about this, Ling Xiao sighed helplessly in his heart, how did he fall into the sight of S.H.I.E.L.D. again. If it goes on like this, I can't say when, in Nick Fury's office, there should be his own private file.
By this time, Tony Stark and Pepper had finished the meeting and had all of their company executives leave, including Natalie. Walking at the end, she looked at Ling Xiao in the lounge with some curiosity, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Through the glass door of the lounge, Ling Xiao naturally noticed Natalie's inquiring gaze, and she even waited a little longer before taking the elevator to leave.
