Chapter 7 Internships, Bosses Missing, and Fortune
Over the next few months, Slade became a man of the year at Midtown Tech High School. There are many girls who try their best to talk to Slade, and there are also girls who stuff love letters into Slade's locker. This made Slade sad and happy: I hoped to have more friends, and it would be good to talk about a girlfriend, but this time so many female classmates paid more attention to him, but he regretted it.
Slade sits at the same table with Peter and Ned every day for dinner, but there are girls who come to Slade's table at lunchtime to "meet" Slade. This makes Peter and Ned envious, especially Peter, who always looks in the direction of a black girl named Liz, even though no one else ever looks back.
Slade never forgot about internship programs, and many companies, whether it was Stark Industries or Osborne Group, offered internships to outstanding high school students. Although everything is average, serving tea and water, and making excel sheets, if you can get into such a program, you can become competitive in college applications. If you can also get a letter of recommendation in such a large company, it will be the icing on the cake when applying to university. Of course, because of this, it is unimaginable that there is such a fierce competition for internship places in such a large company.
In order to get into Stark Industries' internship program, Slade constantly adds color to his resume. In every exam in the school, I answered the perfect exam paper, and I did not desert and cooperated with the teacher in every class. In addition to this, Slade teamed up with Peter and Ned to participate in a robotics competition and won the gold medal in New York State. To increase his competitiveness, Slade also competed in boxing and wrestling in the New York State junior division, winning one gold medal and one silver medal.
Finally, at the end of the first semester, Slade received an internship offer from Stark Industries, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the summer vacation arrived, Slade first went to say goodbye to Uncle Stan Lee at the Captain America Memorial, then flew to Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California, where he was picked up by Stark Industries employees at the airport, and then went to Stark Industries' headquarters west of Los Angeles.
After arriving at Stark Industries' headquarters, more than two dozen of the best high school students from various states in the United States, accompanied by relevant personnel, first visited various departments and office buildings of Stark Industries, and then went to various departments to listen to instructions on what to do.
Slade and three other classmates were assigned to the administration department.
Slade sat on the couch at the entrance of the Administration Department, and after a while, a blonde lady in a suit walked over: "Hello students, welcome to Stark Industries for an internship. I'm the CEO secretary of Stark Industries, Virginia Pertz, and some people call me "Pepper" to the outside world. ”
One of the four members of Slade's group seemed to be a brain-dead fan of Ms. Potts, and he was so excited when he first met, "Oh my God! You're my idol! My bedroom is full of pictures of you...... My name is ......" The female classmate was so excited that she couldn't even finish introducing herself.
"Okay, thank you for the appreciation. Let me tell you about your work over the next three months," Ms. Potts didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point. "I know you're supposed to be the best high school students in the country. Some of the work you've been doing in the next three months is a trade secret, and after my conversation, someone will take a non-disclosure agreement and ask you to sign it. ”
"Follow me," Ms. Potts said, beckoning, and let everyone follow her into the administration. "The main job of a high school intern in Stark's industrial administration department is to complete some service and modification work."
"I don't need to talk nonsense about the rest of the stuff, and now your first task is to complete an acceptance speech, and Mr. Stark will accept the Apogee Award at the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas tonight. You can write a first draft and send it to my mailbox, and the deadline for the first draft is 1 pm. Let's get started! ”
Slade nodded, and noticed that Ms. Potts was nodding at him as well, wearing an eyepatch on her face to attract attention.
Three days later, Slade got out of the motel and ran three kilometers along the road, doing push-ups and pull-ups on the side of the road. Then head back to the motel to wash up and get ready to head to Stark Industries for work.
Hearing that his big boss, CEO Tony Stark, went to Afghanistan to demonstrate his new missile series to the military, Slade thought that his job should be easier these days, right?
Slade used his temporary credentials to enter the Stark Industries' administrative building.
"Good morning, Ms. Potts!" Slade saw his boss and hurriedly said hello.
Ms. Potts nodded, and suddenly her cell phone rang. Miss Potts took out her phone and looked at it, and secretly exclaimed, "Rod? Aren't they in Afghanistan? Slade could hear Miss Potts being a little surprised.
"Rod? What happened to the birth? …… What the? You say Tony is missing? Miss Potts seemed to lose all her strength at once, and almost fell to her knees. Slade hurriedly stepped forward to support Ms. Potts and helped her to sit on the couch beside her.
"Ms. Potts, sit down first." Slade pulled a bottle of mineral water out of his backpack and opened the cap for Ms. Potts. ”
Miss Potts took a sip of water, then calmed down after taking a few deep breaths. "Don't tell anyone what you just heard."
Slade nodded, no more inquiring. However, I am afraid that this kind of major event will soon be known to the major news agencies in a few days, and they do not need to do more.
Ms. Potts was soon on track and began to work further.
Slade looked at Ms. Potts' distant back, and his heart stirred: "Wouldn't this be the beginning of the big event that Stan Lee said?" ”
Slade remembered his determination to become the Batman in the comics that Uncle Stan Lee had shown him, and the most lacking thing was money. "Now is a great opportunity! If you can put your money into the stock market, short Stark Industries' stock in advance, and add leverage, it's no problem to multiply your money several times! ”
But seriously, it's still too difficult to make a lot of money, after all, I'm an orphan, and the bonus for internships and some martial arts competitions is only 20,000 yuan, so what if it is doubled?
Whatever, at this stage, if he is kicked out of the orphanage, he can only live for a few weeks, and now there are more and more people in the orphanage, and he may be kicked out one day. Fly legs are also meat!
Just do it, Slade hurriedly called the Goldman Sachs investment bank on Wall Street to handle the business. Take advantage of the fact that the news of "Tony Stark's disappearance in Afghanistan" has not yet made the headlines, and short the Stark Industries stock price in advance!
