Ambrera Laboratories.
Dr. Connors worriedly took this morning's newspaper and walked into Sean's office, where the owner of the laboratory stood in front of the bright window, looking down on his private kingdom.
"Doctor, your face is very ugly, I heard Dr. Helen Zhao say that the research on cross-species genetics is going well, and it is only one step away from success."
Sean turned his head to look at Connors, the one-armed middle-aged man with so much worry and anxiety in his eyes that he forgot to knock on the door and went straight into his office.
"Or is there something wrong with Ambrera that gives you a headache like this?" With a gentle smile, he asked softly.
"Sean, the Metis potion didn't open the situation...... Many public hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers are reluctant to cooperate with Osborne, and two-thirds of the original pre-sale orders have been refunded and ruined......"
Connors hesitated for a moment and handed the latest newspaper to Sean, and the headline on it was Senator Kelly, who has been in the limelight recently, criticizing and opposing genetic drugs, believing that this way of curing diseases is unpredictable and harmful, and even leads to some unpredictable risk of mutation in the human body.
In the following section, there are also unanimous statements from biologists who believe that gene drugs are not mature enough to cure diseases completely, and often come with unknown side effects, which need to be carefully considered before use.
The wind of public opinion has changed suddenly, Sean, who was praised by people a few days ago, is now vaguely at risk of falling from the clouds, the so-called public opinion is gold, accumulation and destruction, and the momentum of public opinion has been promoted by the guidance of well-intentioned people, and suddenly Osborne Industries and Ambrera have been pushed to the forefront, and the venture capital institutions that were very optimistic about the prospects of Metis Pharmacy immediately changed their rhetoric and maintained a vague position and attitude.
"Watsendon made a move." Sean casually threw the newspaper on the table and said nonchalantly.
As a leader in the medical industry, Watsonton will not sit idly by and watch Osborne and Ambrera grow to become formidable rivals to be reckoned with. This deep-rooted and powerful giant will definitely unite the forces in the industry to wipe out these two competitors who have rashly intruded into private territory.
Manipulating public opinion and maliciously attacking is only the first step of the temptation, and then many measures will follow, until Osborne and Ambrera are beaten to their knees and begging for mercy, giving up the most sumptuous piece of cake.
"Doctor, don't worry too much, Ambrera is still a seedling, and Watsendon is a towering tree, but we are more alive." Sean walked up to Connors, who looked worried, and gently patted the other party's shoulder, "If you want to occupy a place in an industry and have a certain right to speak, you can't just rely on scientific research results." Sometimes, we have to use some reasonable means. ”
Connors blinked his eyes and looked at Sean, a young man with a gentle smile on his face, and a hint of palpitating coldness in his tone.
The one-armed middle-aged man quickly lowered his head, and then said, "What about Harry?" He must have received these ...... I can't make people happy news. ”
"Harry is not a child, he has to be coaxed all the time, and why people fall is because we have to learn to get up. Watsonton's crackdown was only temporary, and businessmen were in nature to chase profits, and soon they would find out who would bring more lucrative gains. ”
Sean looked at the high-spirited Senator Kelly in the newspaper and said meaningfully: "As for this senator who presides over justice, he should pray for God to bless and hope that mutants will not come to the door." ”
Seeing Dr. Connors leave the office with mixed feelings, Sean's face gradually turned cold, and it seemed that it was necessary to contact the group of mutants who were hiding and hiding.
…………
As a military transport plane landed on the tarmac with the sound of whistling wind through white clouds, Pepper Potz stepped out of the black sedan and looked up at the behemoth gliding slowly through the airport.
Tony Stark, who has been missing for nearly three months, finally returned to New York safely, which made Pepper finally let go of the boulder that was pressing on her heart, her wayward boss, who did not die on the front line of conflicting Afghanistan, as if favored by Lady Luck, successfully escaped from a group of vicious terrorists.
When the news came back to New York, some people were happy and some were worried, for example, the top CEO of Stark Industries, who did not immediately rush to the airport to greet Tony, who was not dying, on the grounds of physical discomfort.
The door of the transport plane slowly opened, and Tony, wearing a suit jacket and bandaged hand, got up from his wheelchair and slowly walked towards Pepper with Colonel Rhodes' support.
With a slightly haggard face, a dangling bandaged arm, and a few small wounds, Pepper almost didn't recognize the expectant Pepper, this is the Tony Stark who pays attention to his appearance and demeanor and likes to show off his charm.
"Your eyes are red, and you're sad for your missing boss?" Tony, who stepped off the transport plane, still did not change his previous style, and joked about the female secretary.
"I'm glad I don't have to look for another job." Pepper retorted with a smile that this was the Stark she knew.
"This is the end of your vacation." Tony retracted his smile, and what he had experienced in that cave in Afghanistan had made him mature.
The young soldiers who died on the battlefield, Ethan, who sacrificed his life to buy time, made Stark's indifferent heart slowly melt like ice. In his former world, there were only cold mechanical instruments and beautiful and delicate women, and Tony, who thought he had everything in the world, didn't care about anyone else.
If you want to win Tony's attention, unless you have a genius brain, or a devilish body that makes men's hormones soar, this playboy and genius will make you feel his mean and poisonous tongue, and arrogance that ordinary people don't have.
"Where are you going, sir?" Bodyguard Harpy asked.
"Please take us to the hospital." Pepper is worried about Tony's physical condition and wants him to do a full body check-up first.
"No, I don't want to go to the hospital right now and have all kinds of instruments examine my body." Tony refused without thinking, interrupting Pepper's persuasion, "I've been locked up for three months, and now I only want to do two things, one is to eat a cheeseburger, and the other is-"
"Are you in such a hurry?" The female secretary, whose thinking was obviously biased, turned her head and showed a disgusted expression.
“…… It's not the one you think, I'm just going to have a press conference. Tony explained rather speechlessly.
Could it be that in his secretary's heart, he is a greedy and lustful playboy?
Tony thought for a moment, reminiscing about the absurd experiences of the past, and finally had to admit that perhaps this is what most people think of him.
And he can't argue with it yet......
Tony shook his head and threw the inexplicable thoughts out of his mind, starting today, everyone will see a brand new Stark.
