New York Landmark Building, Stark Industries, inside Tony Stark's office.

"Tony, this military order is important to us. The military has already asked you to come and demonstrate in person, are you going to say no at this juncture?" said Obadistan, Tony's good uncle, who was sitting across from his desk.

Because Pep had an accident not long ago, Tony finally knew that he couldn't afford to lose this beautiful woman who really knew how to love herself. Therefore, he now wants to put off the trip to the Middle East and stay in New York to accompany Pep. But Tony's trip to the Middle East was an important part of Obadai's plan, and he couldn't let that happen, so after learning about Tony's plans, he came over to persuade him.

"Uncle Stan, it's just a weapons purchase from the military. If they need a guy with weight, I think you're a good guy. CEO of Stark Industries, this title should be enough. With a glass of red wine in his hand, Tony said nonchalantly.

"But this is not a simple weapons purchase, they are going to purchase our latest missile strike system. Besides, I can't give the name of Tony Stark no matter how high I can. If you want to win this big order from the military, you have to do it. Hearing Tony's words, Obadai shook his head and said.

"But Pep ......"

"The attack on Miss Pep is a surprise, but the police are already doing their best to investigate. Moreover, you have arranged for Miss Pep to have the tightest security personnel. I'm sure she's safe, and I'll pay more attention to that when you go to the Middle East. Before Tony could finish his sentence, Obadiah interrupted him, patting his chest to ensure Miss Pep's safety.

"That being said, there are always surprises. "Tony has obviously been moved, and the point is that he did put Pep in a very tight security position, and what happened last time is unlikely to happen again. But he still has worries about Pep in his heart, and this is the change after Tony recognizes his inner feelings.

Call~

"Tony, you've given me a month off. Every day I won't be allowed to go anywhere else except my company and home, and if I have an accident in this case, I don't think the president of the country is so safe!" Pep said as Tony was struggling.

These days, Pep really feels Tony's concern for her, and that is seen in the layers of protection. However, as a capable strong woman in the new century, Pep doesn't feel that she really needs Tony's strict protection.

"Pep, what if those assailants show up again?" I'm worried about ......" Reaching out and taking Pep's small hand, Tony was a little worried.

"It's okay, don't you have any confidence in the security guards you arranged? Or do you think you can keep me safe by staying? You have to be present for this military order, and I can't let the company lose this order because of me. Squeezing Tony's hand, Pep said lightly.

"But ......"

"Tony, Miss Pep is right. You have already promised the military side, and if you regret it now, even you will not give the military a face. You know, we are not the only Stark in China who does military business. After Pep's persuasion, Obadiah went on to get the point.

"Since you've all said that, if I still insist, it will be too shameless for you. Well, I agreed to the original itinerary and went to the Middle East next month. In the end, under the persuasion of Obadiah and Pep, Tony agreed to go to the Middle East to demonstrate the new missile system produced by Stark Industries to the military.

"Well, I believe you made the right decision. Hearing that Tony had finally given up on staying in New York, Obadai was relieved.

"Do you need another drink?" asked Pep with a smile, taking the empty glass from Tony's hand.

"Just what I wanted. ”

"Then you talk, I'll leave first if I have something. "I don't want to stay here as a light bulb anymore, Obadi got up and took his leave.

"Yes. Tony waved his hand indifferently.

"Sir, here comes Mr. Jackson. As soon as Obadai got up and took two steps outside, Jarvis's slightly mechanical voice came from the room, signaling that Tony had a visitor.

"Jackson? Oh, it's the little one, bring him up. Hearing Jarvis's voice, Tony was stunned for a moment, then remembered who Jackson was, and then asked him to take Jackson with him.

"Jackson, Tony, who is this?" asked Obadi, who was about to leave, when he heard the unfamiliar name.

Of course, Obadi already knew who Jackson was, after all, he didn't deliberately hide it from anyone when Tony invited Lin Rui over last time. He was just pretending not to know now, trying to figure out what the relationship was between Tony and this seemingly ordinary little guy. Linking Lin Rui's current age and Tony's romantic history, Obadi is easy to think crookedly.

"Oh, just a smart little friend. Uncle Stan, aren't you okay?", and with a simple explanation, Tony stretched out his hand to see him off.

"Uh~ Then I'll go first. With an embarrassed face, Obadai silently turned away.

However, the more Tony didn't explain it clearly, the more Obadai felt that there was something wrong with it. Perhaps, I should have done some more careful research. Obadi, who turned to leave, thought silently in his heart.

Tony, sitting in his chair, didn't know what Obadai was thinking, and if he knew, he might have burst his belly laughing, his uncle's brain was too big. Of course, Lin Rui, who was on the way, would not know what he was thought of by others, he had something important to do this time.

Bite~

Shortly after Obadi's departure, the elevator leading to Tony's office went up and slowly opened as the elevator opened. Jackson, also known as Lin Rui, walked into Tony's office wearing an official reporter sign specially changed for him by James's editor-in-chief.

"Hey, Jackson, I thought it would be a long time before I saw you again!" Peip, who came out of the back with red wine, looked at Lin Rui and greeted with a smile.

"Miss Pep, you're even more beautiful than I saw a few days ago!" Showing a very sunny smile, Lin Rui praised Pep without hesitation. Women, especially beauties like Pep, are always most useful for compliments.

"Thank you!" Hearing Lin Rui's compliment, Pep smiled and walked over to Tony.

"Ahem, Jackson, I haven't seen you for a few days and become an official reporter?Does your boss know that you are already an interview reporter for Tony Stark?" Although Lin Ruicai is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, Tony is not happy for him to say that Pep is beautiful in front of him. Especially Lin Rui is relatively handsome, and now women like this kind of young and sunny little fresh meat.

"Mr. Stark, as much as I would like to let everyone know about this, it is better to keep it a secret for the time being. After all, I haven't done what an interview reporter is supposed to do. Walking up to Tony with a smile, Lin Rui said lightly.

"Well, why?" asked Tony curiously, he thought that Lin Rui would tell everyone that he would be Tony Stark's interview reporter as soon as he left that day.

"Because, I haven't officially interviewed you yet. Besides, I want to dig up some fierce material. Lin Rui replied with a serious look in his eyes.

"Hehe, what do you want to dig up from me? There's a big push of lace news about me out there for you to write, and I can tell you what's true and what's fake. With a chuckle, Tony shook the glass of wine that Pepe had just poured in.

"Mr. Tony, won't you invite me to sit down? That's not the treatment of an interviewer. Without immediately answering Tony's words, Lin Rui stood in front of him and asked.

"Yes, please take a seat, I thought you would be welcome. Only then did the tsundere Tony ask Lin Rui to sit down.

Call~

"As I said last time, I'm not interested in Mr. Stark's lace news. Moreover, I don't think those lace news will appear in the future. Glancing at Pep standing beside Tony, Lin Rui said with a smile.

"That's right. However, what else do you want to dig apart from?" Tony, who was seen by Lin Rui that the relationship between himself and Pep was progressing, did not explain, and then continued to ask.

"Now that the lace news is gone, I'm going to focus on Stark Industries itself. I'm actually very interested in the new energy source that Mr. Tony has been working on, and I don't know what Mr. Tony can say about this. Also, I heard that the military will purchase a large amount of new weapons again recently, I wonder how much Stark Industries has received in it?"

......

After Lin Rui asked those two questions, the huge office suddenly fell silent, and it seemed that the air was frozen.

"It seems that you are indeed a very competent journalist. However, are you sure that the two questions you asked are suitable for your Clarion Daily?"

"They didn't know I could interview Mr. Stark anyway, so let's just think these are the questions I want to know. Perhaps, when the time is right, I will release these as fierce materials. Lin Rui took out a small notebook and a pen from his arms, and replied indifferently.

In fact, Lin Rui didn't just come over today to interview Tony as a reporter. Because of his long memory, Lin Rui couldn't remember when Tony went to the Middle East and when his miniature ark reactor was built. He can only make some responses in the future if he understands these situations, after all, these are related to the birth of Iron Man, which is why Lin Rui asked these two questions.

"Then you have a good eye. Regarding the development of new energy, I have already said at the previous New York Science and Technology Conference that the Ark reactor, as a new type of controllable energy, will gradually eliminate the current mainstream energy source. ”

"As for what you said about the military's procurement of new weapons, it involves the level of secrecy, and I think your level should not be enough. Tony replied to Lin Rui's words in two simple sentences, but in fact, he didn't say anything.

Brush~

"Yes, I got it. I also believe that the Ark Reactor is the best new energy source today, but the space and financial resources of installing it are not affordable for large enterprises, so I wonder if Mr. Tony has made any progress recently. In addition, I also understand that the Osborne Group's bioenergy seems to have made some breakthroughs recently, and perhaps we will soon be able to see a new type of bioenergy that is more optimized. After writing a few words in the notebook, Lin Rui raised his head and looked at Tony and said lightly.
