33. Social animals
Henry Cole is a standard social animal in the bustling New York city, holding a non-parried position in a company that can't be low, and he's busy every day for a salary that doesn't go up.
After graduating from a good university and working hard for many years, he finally sat in the middle management class of the company, in his early 30s, with a son and a daughter, and a house of his own.
Being able to buy his own property in the bustling New York City, although it is not in the most expensive rich area in New York, it is not easy for Henry, as an ordinary person with no identity background, to be able to do this.
Therefore, Henry has always cherished his current life very much, has a beautiful and loving wife, lively and lovely children, and when the mortgage is paid off and the children grow up, his life will be basically complete.
So although Henry didn't love his job very much, he was always conscientious and careful to make sure that his work was perfect and that nothing went wrong.
The daily itinerary is basically to start from home after breakfast in the morning, go to the company, have lunch in the company at noon, work in the afternoon for an afternoon, and then if you work overtime, you will finish dinner in the company, and go home directly if you don't work overtime, and you can also pick up the two children by the way, and help your wife take care of family chores.
Occasionally, when he is on vacation, Henry also likes to play some games with his children, which not only shortens the distance between him and the children, but also allows him to relax.
After all, compared to other leisure methods, playing games at home can be regarded as both economical and affordable, and I actually like games more, which is the best of both worlds.
With a heavy burden on his shoulders, Henry never dared to spend lavishly on leisure, and the last time the family went on a trip was five years ago.
In the past ten years, Henry has come over like this, and the company he works for has developed well, and the business has caught the thigh of Stark Industries, and the treatment of employees has also been steadily improved.
Henry is also due to his conscientiousness and ability, and he has risen step by step, barely reaching the management, although the pressure is greater, but Henry is still very satisfied with the current situation, at least he can afford his own house and provide a good living environment for his family.
Everything would have been wonderful, it would have been.
Until not long ago, the turmoil in Stark Industries caused Henry's company to experience violent turmoil.
The first is that Tony Stark, who is at the helm of the Stark Group, was attacked by a terrorist attack while traveling to the Middle East to demonstrate new weapons for the military, and disappeared for a while.
During this period, the stock of Stark Industries fell rapidly, and any shock in a giant industrial company like Stark Industries would trigger a huge butterfly effect, and the companies and enterprises associated with it would inevitably be greatly affected.
Not to mention the big accident like the disappearance of Tony Stark, who is at the helm of the company.
It just so happened that Henry's company had considerable business dealings with Stark Industries, or that was to connect with Stark Industries' business, which provided the company with a large part of its stable profits.
The fluctuation in the stock price of Stark Industries naturally affected Henry's company, and the rest of the company was anxious during that time, and Henry also couldn't sleep all night.
Finally dragged Tony Stark back safely, thinking that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and the company was able to get through the difficulties, but Tony was fine, and as soon as he returned, he announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing department.
Stark Industries finally plummeted again because of Tony Stark's safe return, and the flat stock price.
Even the turmoil caused is even greater than the disappearance of Tony Stark, after all, even without Tony Stark, Stark Industries Group will still be a leading enterprise in the US military industry, although it will be greatly affected.
However, the direct closure of the weapons manufacturing department is tantamount to directly cutting off most of the Stark Industries' original source of income.
Tony Stark has become the superhero Iron Man, and he is out of the limelight.
However, Henry's company was miserable, because Stark Industries encountered a crisis, and various businesses shrank, and the business that Henry's company was able to undertake naturally shrank significantly in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Tony Stark was still measured, handing over the company's business to his former secretary assistant Pepper Peiper, and with the huge value of the new energy technology of the Ark reactor created by Tony, the situation of Stark Industries Group finally settled down.
The situation during this period can be described as twists and turns, Henry is also up and down, and has experienced several ups and downs psychologically, but fortunately, the final situation is not too bad, Stark Industries' stock has stabilized, and his company has finally gained a foothold in this turmoil.
Otherwise, if the company goes bankrupt and loses his job at this age, Henry really doesn't know what to do.
So now Henry just hopes that Tony Stark, a genius playboy, will honestly play his superhero and genius inventor, even if he just goes to pick up girls everywhere, and don't interfere in the business decisions of Stark Industries anymore, otherwise this playboy will come up with something on a whim, and his heart really can't stand it.
On this day, Henry finished handling the company's affairs, returned home, unloaded his tiredness, saw his busy wife, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a headache, and he was able to stand firm by holding on to the wall, and his eyes flashed red.
"What's wrong with you?" Henry's wife noticed Henry's strange appearance and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Nothing." Henry squeezed out a smile and shook his head: "It's just a little dizzy all of a sudden." ”
"Was it too nervous some time ago? You should still take a good rest. ”
"It's okay, it's nothing." Henry reassured.
"You have to pay more attention to your body, after all, you are almost 40 years old, not younger than before, you have to learn to take care of yourself, the children and I actually just hope that you can always be with us, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Henry's wife's eyebrows were warm.
Henry smiled with a relaxed demeanor: "I am just less than 35 years old, how can I be so old and in good health."
Rest assured, our family will always be together. ”
"The meal is ready, just waiting for you to come back, I'll go and get ready, you call the children down." Henry's wife takes off his suit for Henry.
……………………
"Iron Man is so handsome! The Iron Suit is just cool! ”
After eating, Henry's son pointed to the clip of Tony Stark wearing steel armor on the TV: "Dad, doesn't your company have business with Stark Industries?" Have you met Mr. Tony Stark? Can you help me get an autograph? ”
Henry smiled a little unnaturally: "I've seen it a few times from afar, but I know people, and people don't know me."
And now the president of Stark Industries is Tony Stark's former secretary, Miss Peiper, Mr. Tony Stark basically no longer cares about Stark Industries, and focuses on his own inventions and superhero careers. ”
"Oh." Henry's son replied with some disappointment, and continued to look at the figure of Iron Man on TV in amazement.
Henry also turned his head to look at the TV, and suddenly there was another sharp headache, and this time he couldn't help but lie on the ground.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Henry's son was so shocked that he knelt beside him and cried out, "Mother, come here!" ”
When Henry's wife and daughter heard this, they immediately rushed to the living room to check on the situation.
"Henry! Henry! Henry's wife shouted a few times and saw that Henry did not respond, but closed her eyes and struggled in pain, and asked her son worriedly, "What's wrong with your father?" ”
"I don't know, we were watching TV so well, and my father suddenly fell to the ground in pain." Henry's son too
"What is this?" Henry's daughter suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Henry's wife quickly turned her head and asked.
"I seem to see strange spots of light popping up on my father's body." The daughter said with some uncertainty.
"Are you sure?" The wife was a little surprised, and looked carefully, Henry, who was lying on the ground and writhing his body in pain, did not find anything abnormal.
"Maybe I'm wrong." After taking a closer look, the daughter scratched her head in confusion.
"No matter how much it is, call the hospital first and ask them to send an ambulance." The wife suddenly reacted and hurried to find the phone.
……………………
After the ambulance arrived.
"You two stay at home well, and I'll accompany your father to the hospital for a check-up." Henry's wife instructed the child.
Henry, who was in a better situation on the side, said: "There's no need to be so nervous, don't you think I'm getting better now?" It's just a little headache for a while, so it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
"Whatever? You must have a full physical examination this time. Henry's wife's tone was unmistakable.
"Okay, okay." Henry nodded a little helplessly.
