Chapter 469:
The mystery man took Susan and the three of them along the way, and there was no communication between the two sides, after all, they could only be strangers technically. And Susan had doubts about this mysterious person in her heart, so she didn't communicate with him too much.
It's Susan's younger brother Johnny, who has been trying to talk to the mysterious person, which does not rule out the meaning of temptation, but it is more of a mentality of trying to make friends with the other party, after all, it is easy to put the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Even if the other party really has any purpose, as long as he doesn't have any malicious intent, then it doesn't matter, "Hey, man." If you are willing to help us, why won't you tell me your name? Is your name special? Or did we know each other? ”
"Don't speculate too much, I think it's good enough to be able to provide you with a place to live, there's no need to give away my information to you, is it?" The mysterious man said lightly, the high collar covered his face, and no one could see his expression clearly at the moment, this was deliberately done by him, not wanting them not to see anything, then his identity seemed to be about to be revealed. Yes, Rocky seems to be alone in this outfit now, and after hearing the whole process of the argument between the two parties and learning what he wants to know, it is only natural that he needs to help his former friend get through it.
"I have to say you're cool, but I'm a person who always wants to be able to repay someone's favor even if I accept help from others. So tell me, man! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, including my sister. Johnny's words came into Rocky's ear, as if he understood what Rocky's scruples were, and the meaning of the words made Rocky's footsteps slight.
"There's nothing ulterior about my identity, it's just that we're just meeting each other now, and we won't necessarily be friends in the future. Why should I leave my name? Rocky still had that cold look, as if he didn't want to have too much contact with them.
Johnny pursed his lips, and the words were all said to this point, but the other party still didn't eat the oil and salt, so he couldn't help it. I saw him put down the hand on the shoulder of the landlord Rocky, and slowed down and waited for Susan and Ben to walk up. Fang Cai said softly: "He doesn't seem to be willing to reveal his identity, maybe he really has some ulterior secrets." It's just that I trust my instincts. ”
"What's your intuition? He's a good guy? Susan sneered and lowered her voice, "If you really think so, then it only proves that your life experience is almost a blank slate like Reed." I'm not sure what his plans are, but I'm sure he must have something in mind about us, and if you make any excessive demands at that time, will you, having received the favor of the other party, refuse? Although you don't always seem to be so reliable, I know that you know how to be grateful. ”
"Okay. Since you have seen it, then I have nothing more to say, everything will come according to your will! I don't have a problem right now. Johnny shrugged his shoulders and said he wouldn't try again, and he gave up on communicating with Rocky.
Susan nodded in satisfaction, too much temptation might cause the other party to be alert, Rocky's non-answer was expected, but she didn't care so much. After all, if it's really as you think, it's a big deal to leave.
For the talk of the three behind him. How could Rocky not know? After all, if his ears really have to be calculated, at least he can hear the whole corner of the world talking, so how can he not know this kind of talk around him? But he didn't say anything, and now he is not suitable to reveal his identity, even if the other party is someone he used to be close to.
A short time later, Rocky led the three to a secluded residential area near the Babbitt Building. There was a slightly empty house with a simple courtyard, the house was two-storey, and the lights were turned off, so you couldn't see what was in it.
Rocky pushed the door open into the courtyard and pulled out a key to open the door. Pressing the light in the living room, the living room suddenly brightened, revealing all the furniture and clean and tidy floors, which Susan and the three did not expect.
After all, from the outside, it doesn't seem to have any furniture, and it hasn't been inhabited all year round, so it should be dirty and messy. Just looking at it, I thought it was just a house waiting to be sold, but I didn't expect it to be inhabited.
"This won't be your home, will it?" Johnny asked his doubts, this place was obviously inhabited, and since Rocky had the key in his hand, then naturally this was where Rocky lived. Thinking of this, he affirmed the guess in his heart, the other party can give up his house for them to live in, then it is obvious that the other party is not a scheming person as he thinks, of course, it is not ruled out that he has the mentality of reluctant children to trap wolves, but this possibility is very small.
However, Johnny's thoughts didn't last long before Rocky denied his speculation, "This isn't my house, it's my rented place!" You can live here for the time being, and there is plenty of food in the fridge to feed you for a month. The second floor has all the equipment you need for your research. So you don't have to look anywhere else. Of course, don't doubt my motives, I just don't want to see you on the streets, I hope you understand. ”
When he said this, Rocky deliberately glanced at Susan with a suspicious face, and the other party couldn't help but blush, it should have been a tacit thing, but it was pierced by the other party, which was really annoying.
Rocky didn't care what Susan was thinking, his business was done, and it was time to leave, "I still have some things to take care of, so I'll go first, and if you want to thank me, then wait for later!" If you want to find me, call me. So saying, he took out a telephone book from his bosom, wrote down his number, put it on the table, and left the room under the somewhat stunned gazes of Susan and the others, without making any requests.
Johnny was the first to come back to his senses, looked at his sister, who was still in a daze, and said, "Do you still think he has a plan against us?" I think he seems to be a little impatient to get out of our sight. This doesn't look like a man with a plan. ”
Susan couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, "Let's just guess it right, since there is such a kind person to help us, we have written down this kindness, and when we get through the crisis in the future, we will have a chance to return it to him!" ”
After Rocky left the residential area, he couldn't help but feel that Susan actually chose to cooperate with Reed only for the trust he had before he disappeared, which made him feel a little guilty about the other party, because Susan's intentions, he knew it, but he couldn't make any response, he could only hide this guilt silently in his heart, and then comfort himself to be at peace with the encounter.
Shaking his head and shaking off his cluttered thoughts, Rocky looked up in the direction of Manhattan, where his once mansion had now become Stark's mansion as it had been, which was later used to confess to Pepper.
Although he provided funds to Hammer Industries, he didn't go to Tony for the trouble himself, so he couldn't say anything about it.
So, Rocky thought about it and decided to find trouble with Tony, digging the foot of the wall or something, as an amateur hobby, and before that, he had the idea of poaching Pepper, the housekeeper, and it was time to wield a hoe.
So since this decision has been made, what identity do you need to use to make head-on contact with the other party? Become an executive at Stark Industries? The idea seems to look good. Rubbing his chin, Rocky's face showed a playful smile, and he thought that after he became a Stark Industries executive, it would undoubtedly be much easier for him to do what he had to do.
So, the next day, Stark Industries' personnel department was in the recruitment area. Using his oriental face and forging a double Ph.D. in business management, Rocky applied for the position of head of the commercial department at Stark Industries.
And the interviewer at this level is naturally Pepper Potts, who is now nicknamed the housekeeping director of Stark Industries.
Rocky's position is in the seventh, and there is no shortage of business elites in front of him, if Rocky is just an ordinary person, then he will inevitably worry about being excluded, but unfortunately, he is not an ordinary person, so naturally those hostile eyes are ignored by him. All he had to do was wait for him to walk into the application room and be interviewed by Pepper, and he would have a way to pass when the time came. Although there will be some suspicion of cheating in this way, it is also necessary for the sake of their own plans.
In the blink of an eye, the six people in front of Rocky had already applied for the job, and they all went in with their chests held high, and came out dejectedly, as if they had been hit, which made him wonder what questions Pepper asked them.
"Interviewer No. 7, Liszt Lowe, go in!" Pepper's leek, slightly delicate voice came from the room.
Rocky got up, straightened his clothes, and walked into the application room amid the sympathetic gazes of those who had not yet been interviewed. (To be continued.) )
