Chapter XXVII: The Osborne Group
The Osborne Tower, a 100-8-story building in the heart of New York's downtown Manhattan, is less than a kilometer away from the Stark Tower, which was completed just last year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It has a very strange shape, like a rolled book, and like a scabbard that goes straight into the clouds.
It is the best symbol of the strength of the Osborne Group and the heart of the entire Osborne Group. It is not only home to the Osborne Group's offices, but also to a research site. More than 50 percent of the Osborne Group's biological laboratories and product development zones are located in this building.
And just across the road at the entrance of this building, two teenagers in suits were standing there. Peter's gaze kept moving back and forth from Osborne Mansion and Harry's face before finally letting out an exclamation.
"Osborne? That Osborne? Peter looked at the building in front of him and muttered unconsciously, while Harry beside him looked quite smug.
"That's right, Osborne Group!"
"You're Osborne... That Osborne? Peter turned to Harry, and the last thing that came out of his mind was this utterly inconsequential sentence.
"Harry. Osborne, the first heir to the Osborne Group, is at your service. Harry bent down slightly and bowed, but the gesture made him laugh at the usual way. This laughter also brought Peter, who was still in a state of shock, back to reality. He glanced Harry up and down, well, yes, it was still the same Harry.
"To be honest, I feel like you're the only one in our grade who doesn't know this...", Harry was a little speechless. The family has money, and the surname is Osborne. Most people complete this simple puzzle in less than a month. ”
"Seriously, I knew about the Osborne Group, but God, I never thought my table mate was a billionaire." Peter hadn't quite adjusted yet. "Damn, your family is so rich, why did you still come to our shitty school?"
"That's a good question." Harry replied. "I didn't actually go to junior high school or elementary school at all, and I was always at home alone under the guidance of my tutor. A year ago, I objected to my father's approach. ”
"And then?" Peter asked, and Harry had an angry and laughing expression.
Can't you think of this answer yourself? I'm in the same class as you now, and you say then what happened. ”
Peter shrunk his neck and blushed slightly. "Your father said yes so easily? He didn't raise any objections or anything? ”
"Not really. My father has always been very respectful of my opinion. Harry straightened his tie and hair, looking a little proud. He discussed it with me and then agreed with my decision. And all the bodyguards and drivers were removed, so that I could have a normal high school life. ”
"Living alone in a villa with a starting price of one million is not the life that a high school student should have." Peter complained. "By the way, big brother of the local tyrant, you are so rich, why don't you help us poor people?"
"It's not your turn to be relieved." Harry despised Peter. "You have your own job, and you have a lot of pocket money in the class. Besides, your family still has your own house, and there are too many people living in rented houses in our class, okay? ”
"Hey, I'm just trying." Peter said without shame, and patted Harry on the shoulder. "Good things are meant to be taken out and shared, since you have so much money that you leak more between your fingers than I have earned in a lifetime, then why not?"
"That's my dad's money, not mine. But—" Harry laughed wickedly in the middle of his sentence. "When the time comes, you can just work for me. Rest assured, you will be given a salary that will feed you. ”
"I'll you, if you're not satisfied with your brother, you'll have to be my boss."
As the two of them laughed and played, the pedestrian lights finally turned green, and Harry and Peter hurriedly followed after tidying up their bags and suits.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. This position of yours is what I asked for from the HR manager, and my dad doesn't know about it yet. When the time comes, don't blow it all over the place, you came in through the back door, otherwise I'm definitely going to have to suffer a lot from my dad. Harry warned Peter, his tone a little serious. Peter nodded in response, and then something came to mind.
"Anyway, what do you usually eat when you're at home? Are the sausages all made with Kobe beef? Does pasta always have truffles in it? Foie gras caviar, do you eat it on toast? Peter looked curious, and bombarded Harry with questions. Harry had been ignoring the handling at first, and after less than half a minute, he couldn't help it.
"Get out of here!" Harry struggled to squeeze out a disgusted face, but couldn't help but laugh at the end.
-----
After entering the Osborne Tower, Harry and Peter quickly separated. As the future heir to Osborne, he naturally wasted no time in participating in this internship. In Harry's own words, he's been 'going to be trained by his dad for a month'. He looked quite frustrated when he said this, and he didn't know if he was pretending.
Peter had to do a security check shortly after he entered. The security guards here were quite strict, and after a full body search, they not only went through Peter's bag very completely, but also took out Peter's water bottle and let him take a sip of the water before letting him through. Although Peter was quite early, he noticed that there were quite a few other peers present, who were probably interns this time.
Each year, the Osborne Group offers an internship for college students and an internship for high school students. For many, this internship is a fatal attraction for them. The Osborne Group has only 40 places in total, and each of these places will have countless students vying for it. In the end, there is no doubt that they are all top students who are one in a thousand, and there are many geeks who can publish papers in scientific journals when they are still in high school.
If Peter's own grades weren't good, Harry wouldn't have shoved him in so easily.
After a few minutes of waiting in line at the front desk, Peter showed an invitation to his internship and quickly got his badge as an intern, along with a photo of himself. His big face was smirking silly, and Peter felt the urge to take off the badge every time he looked at it.
"Welcome to the Osborne Building. Please make sure you carry this badge with you at all times while you are in this building. Our security guards are not so friendly to those who don't have identification. The female employee at the front desk smiled and said to him and the other two interns, but Peter could see the mechanics behind her smile. It seems that today she has said these words more than the first time.
"The schedule of each of the internship groups is different. So please pay attention to your schedule and don't get confused. A considerable part of the building is only accessible to the personnel involved, and the consequences of breaking into it are quite serious. Please do not leave the group during your internship. If needed, please ask your nearest staff member for assistance. ”
When her tirade finally came to an end, Peter couldn't help but let out a sigh. He took out the information he had just arrived, and looked in the direction of the elevator, flipping through it as he walked.
"I'm from Group Three. Well, in twenty-five minutes, assemble in front of Lab D13 on the fourteenth floor... It seems a little early to rush over now. Have you been waiting stupidly until then? Peter looked at his timetable and muttered, completely oblivious to his surroundings. As he walked around a corner, a man suddenly came out of the other way and slammed into Peter.
With one foot back, the thought in Peter's mind moved, and a soft force instantly appeared behind him and held him. And Peter also subconsciously grabbed the other party's hand and pulled it in his direction.
Perhaps Peter's force was too great, and the other party's body was surprisingly light. Under Peter's pull, the other party not only did not regain his balance, but was pulled by Peter directly in a different direction, and crashed into him before Peter could react.
Peter, who had already pushed the Force behind himself to cancel, couldn't afford to take the pounce. Amid the screams and the flying pieces of paper, Peter was thrown to the ground without balance, and the other party also pressed on top of Peter, and his head hit Peter's chest. Peter's chest was so tight that he could barely breathe.
A scent that Peter thought was quite pleasant entered Peter's nostrils. Peter looked down, and a pair of misty blue eyes were also looking at him. The eyes of both sides met. Half a second later, a shrill exclamation rang out.
She's pretty cute. This was Peter's first thought after he came to his senses.
