When Tony arrived at the scene of the charity fundraising party, the pre-dinner reception had ended, and the reporters gathered outside were almost gone, when the cool Koenigsegg sports car made a beautiful tail flick and stopped at the door, Stark, who has always been the focus of attention, was not chased and intercepted by the paparazzi for the first time, and walked into the venue smoothly.

The spacious hall reverberated with the lyrical performance of the band, and Tony's gaze passed through the crowd of chatting and laughing guests, his eyes constantly searching for familiar figures, and he quickly found the object of his longing.

Pepper, who is conservative and dignified on weekdays, is rarely dressed up tonight, with a sky-blue backless dress, with shoes that fit the height, blonde hair hanging down on her shoulders, and under the bright light of the crystal chandelier, her skin is as white as snow, revealing a delicate luster.

Compared with the image of a shrewd and capable secretary in the past, Pepper now makes Tony's heart even more excited, and his gentle and soft reserved temperament deeply attracts this wandering man who has been mixed in the flowers for many years.

Hey? Who's that kind of familiar bastard?!

The melodious music flowed quietly, and Pepper, who had always been unapologetic to the opposite sex, walked into the dance floor at the invitation of a young man and swayed and danced together, her blue dress swaying slightly, like a blooming blue lotus, beautiful and moving.

Tony thought back for a moment before remembering that he had met each other in Las Vegas, the newly rising New York genius, often compared to himself by the media, that bastard's hand was on Pepper's waist, judging by his rich experience, that kid was definitely a veteran of flowers, and the unsurpassed physical contact would not cause disgust to his dance partner, but also add to the ambiguous atmosphere, and there were some point-to-point intimate movements, which were his own common tricks!

Stark's heart swelled with anger, like a child's beloved toy being taken away, after suffering from Obadai's ruthless betrayal, Pepper was one of the few people he could trust, and the other party had always been by his side, dealing with all kinds of troubles for him.

Without this hard-working and caring secretary, Tony Stark will become a life idiot who is so poor that he can't even remember his Social Security number, and Pepper acts as his butler and nanny, perhaps more than Jarvis.

"I'm sorry, I'd like to borrow my secretary for a while, I guess you won't mind." Tony, who strode forward, took advantage of the fact that the music was getting weaker and weaker, and inserted himself forcefully between the two who were dancing.

He looked up at the young man with a gentle smile, who looked just a little younger than himself, Pepper didn't like this kind of rhetorical little white face, a mature and reliable man like himself was her real home.

"Sean Siperth, I know you, you won me a lot of money in the Las Vegas casino." Stark glanced at the other party with slanted eyes, and said in his usual proud tone: "The newspapers often compare you to me, I don't know if the legendary New York genius has half the wisdom of his gambling skills." ”

Sean let go of the hand on Pepper's waist, he originally wanted to see how Iron Man was doing recently, who knew that he ran into Tony's personal secretary, this dignified female secretary, wearing an elegant and decent blue backless suit, sitting alone on the edge of the bar and drinking alcohol.

After casually accosting a few words, Pepper learned Sean's true identity, subconsciously exerted his professional instinct, and the two chatted about the prospects and development of new energy sources, Ambrera had also been rumored to be optimistic about the future energy market, and the famous nuclear physicist Dr. Otto, led an energy project team to conduct project research on artificial suns.

These are not secrets, Pepper, who is quite concerned about the energy field, naturally does not ignore it, and after a conversation, Sean's gentle attitude and humor won a good impression on Miss Secretary - of course, this does not rule out that she saw the possibility of cooperation between Stark Industries and Ambrera.

Stark Industries is in dire need of an ally worth working with, and the emerging Ambrera is obviously a good choice, at least the two geniuses have joined forces to attract the attention of New Yorkers.

Seeing Tony, who obviously misunderstood something, Sean smiled slightly: "I often wonder if the rumors that Mr. Stark's IQ is directly proportional to his bad character, is this rumor true?" ”

"Genius is like virtue, knowledge is like wealth, and I'm sorry I happen to have both." Tony touched the mustache on the side of his mouth and boasted about himself without hesitation.

"I understand what you young people think, thinking that you can change the world, but in fact, your abilities are far from enough to support the imagination in your head, real geniuses never need to show off, they are candles in the night, and they will attract people's attention."

Tony said in a condescending tone, although he does not have a height advantage, but judging from his status and achievements, Sean, who has just taken steps forward, is undoubtedly a newcomer.

Compared with the dazzling aura of his big arms dealer, Stark Industries helmsman, and genius scientist, today's Sean is not worth mentioning, after all, the so-called real genius always has to stand the test of time.

"Yes, Mr. Stark's low-key is really different, I'm afraid everyone in the United States knows that you built a circuit board at the age of four, completed the engine at the age of six, and graduated from MIT with honors at the age of seventeen."

Sean's smile remained the same, but there was some sarcasm in his tone, and he would not accommodate the arrogant Iron Man.

"Ahem......" Tony is a little embarrassed, these genius deeds in his youth are the result of Obadai's propaganda to the outside world, in fact, he can have today's reputation, including the elements of packaging operation.

No one will pay attention to an unknown genius, Stark's mind is undoubted, but effective propaganda is also necessary, no matter how great a scientist is, he needs the applause and cheers of the world.

"Okay, Tony, didn't you say you weren't going to the party?" The empathetic Pepper diverted the topic and continued to fight-for-tat, I am afraid that the cooperation between Stark Industries and Ambrera will be in vain.

"I've been at home for too long, and occasionally I want to go out for a ride." Of course, the tsundere Tony will not admit that he actually wants to miss the secretary who left angrily.

He glanced at Sean like a male peacock with his toes high, spreading his beautiful feathers while driving away outsiders with a wary look.

"Sorry, but it's my personal time with Pepper next......"

Sean shrugged his shoulders indifferently, maintaining a gentle bearing, he picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and held it up to Stark: "I wish you good health." ”

Tony's face darkened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and he pulled Pepper out onto the terrace, a rare sense of crisis in the unruly prodigal son who lingered among the flowers.

Sean smiled at the intimate figure leaving the hall, it seemed that the general trajectory had not changed, Iron Man was still plagued by palladium poisoning, and soon there were more headaches for him, such as the hearing on the Iron Armor.
