Chapter 43: Fighting Wine and Talking (Four Watches!Ask for Collections!Recommend Tickets!)
Whew~
This was the second time that the entire office was quiet since Lin Rui came in, and Tony looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes flickering. He didn't expect that this smart young man always seemed to be able to bring some surprises to himself.
"Jackson, you really can surprise me! Maybe you shouldn't be an ordinary reporter, I have the idea of looking for you to work at Stark Industries. Slowly leaning back in his chair, Tony looked at Lin Rui opposite and said slowly.
The questions Lin Rui just raised are indeed the two biggest flaws of the Ark reactor, and the cost is okay, the rich people in this world think much more than Lin Rui thinks. The point is that the current device of this complete ark reactor is indeed too large, and it is also time-consuming and laborious to maintain.
As a perfectionist, Tony is certainly reluctant to admit that his invention is so flawed. But he also had to admit that what Lin Rui said was very right, and this was also something that Tony was distressed about. Thirty years have passed since the Ark Reactor was built, and Tony has all but given up on some of his plans for it.
"Mr. Stark complimented me, but I was really just saying my point. Also, I think Mr. Stark must be actively looking for a way to reduce the size of the Ark reactor. The world's first computer was born in 1946, and it took decades to shrink it. As the top genius of the century, Mr. Tony Stark, I don't think it would take that long if you put your mind to it. Looking at Tony, Lin Rui provoked him slightly. Although I don't know how Tony suddenly found a way to shrink the Ark reactor in the original movie, Lin Rui felt that motivating him in advance should allow Tony to find a way sooner.
"Hmph, you've underestimated me for decades. Tony certainly didn't think it would take him decades to figure out the design for the Shrink Ark Reactor, a little unpleasantly.
"Then I'm looking forward to Mr. Stark's latest design, but I'll have to keep you informed when the time comes. Lin Rui just wanted Tony to pay attention to this issue earlier. Although he knew that Tony would design the small Ark Reactor when he was kidnapped by the terrorists, wouldn't it be better if he had done it earlier.
"Well, I don't think you'll have to wait long. With a yes, Tony felt that he had to hurry, but he couldn't let the young man in front of him see the joke.
"Of course I believe Mr. Stark. Lin Rui responded with a smile.
"Alright, Jackson. Even if you want to be a qualified reporter, such a question is still too serious for your current age, do you want a drink?" Watching Tony and Jackson really talk about the Ark Reactor, Pep shook the red wine in his hand and asked Lin Rui.
"I'm not of legal drinking age, but I think I'll be fine if I drink a little. Moreover, few people should have had the opportunity to drink the wine that Miss Pep had invited. Smiled and nodded, Lin Rui didn't really care about the legal age limit of twenty-one for drinking, his age in his heart had already exceeded twenty-one!
"Hehe, are all young people nowadays as good at talking like you?" was praised by Lin Rui without leaving a trace, and Pep smiled and poured a little red wine for Lin Rui. There really was only one thing, she didn't want this sixteen-year-old to get drunk in Tony's office.
"Thank you. Picking up the wine glass, Lin Rui greeted Tony in front of him slightly, and then drank it all.
"Ahh
"Haha! Pep, it seems that this little friend of ours has a good amount of alcohol! Pour him another glass, this time I want to have a good drink with Jackson's little friend!" Seeing Lin Rui's frowning appearance, Tony seemed to have found something that could hit him, and said to Pep beside him with a smile, he is not a big bully!
"Tony, this is not good, Jackson is still young, do you still want to pour him wine?" Of course Pep wouldn't listen to Tony like this, she just wanted Lin Rui to drink some wine to ease the atmosphere.
However, as soon as Pep's words were finished, Lin Rui, who was sitting opposite, had already put the cup on the table again and pushed it forward by the way, and the meaning of his action was already obvious.
"Hehe, it seems that our Jackson kid also wants to have a few more drinks! Pep, what are you waiting for? The guests have pushed the cups over, am I still reluctant to drink this little wine?" Seeing Lin Rui pushing the cup over, Tony's eyes immediately lit up, and he said happily to Pep.
"Jackson, can you really do it?" Without listening to Tony's words, Pep asked Lin Rui again.
"It's all right, Miss Pep, I'm still okay with this drink, as long as I don't let my parents know. Waving his hand, Lin Rui said seriously.
Lin Rui also wanted to have a few more drinks with Tony, it was best to get Tony drunk, and then he could talk more! Another thing is that Lin Rui really hasn't drunk wine for a long time, and this time he can finally drink top red wine, although he doesn't know what it tastes like, but he won't let go of this opportunity.
"Then you should pay attention to yourself, but don't really get drunk, it will be difficult to explain to your parents when the time comes. Pep finally gave another instruction, and then poured some more wine into Lin Rui's cup.
"Haha! Come, have a drink with our Jackson kids!" Raising his glass, Tony smiled and touched his glass with Lin Rui.
Bite~
With a soft sound, Tony glanced at Lin Rui and drank it all. Then, of course, Lin Rui on the opposite side also drank it in one gulp, showing the character that a young man should have.
"Pep, go get us another bottle, it seems that Jackson's children are in a lot of interest today!" It seemed that Lin Rui was a person who would not admit defeat easily, Tony waved his hand and said to Pep.
"You ...... Forget it, don't bother me when you're drunk. Pep originally wanted to persuade him, but in the end, he thought about it and let these two naïve guys get drunk.
"Let's go, let's go back and drink!" Tony stood up from behind his desk and said to Lin Rui, holding his wine glass.
Since you're going to drink, it's best to lean back on a comfortable couch. Lin Rui also stood up directly and followed Tony towards the back lounge, Lin Rui, who had internal strength, was not afraid that he would be drunk by Tony.
......
Bang dang~
Call~
The wine glass in his hand rested limply on the glass coffee table in front of him, and Tony lay back on the sofa in a drunken state. The two of them drank two bottles of red wine in less than an hour, and even Tony, who had a good amount of alcohol, was already a little unconscious at this time. But Lin Rui, who was sitting opposite him, looked fine, although his face was also red, he seemed to be very conscious.
"Could this be the natural alcohol bonus for first-time drinkers?" Seeing Lin Rui pick up the wine glass again, Tony, who was lying on the sofa, thought helplessly. He'd lose to a sixteen-year-old in a fight for wine, something Tony couldn't have imagined.
And Pep, who was sitting on the side, had already seen that Tony was drunk, but she didn't remind him, anyway, Tony asked for it, the key is that he really can't even drink a sixteen-year-old young man.
"Mr. Tony, I think I've had enough. If you continue, it won't be easy to go home. He didn't fight against Tony anymore, Lin Rui gave him some face in a timely manner.
"Well, I think so, after all, you are not yet the legal drinking age, and it is not good to drink too much. Tony, who was a little drunk, also knew that he would go down the steps, and he couldn't drink anymore anyway.
"So, Mr. Tony, can you talk to me about the military's procurement of new weapons now?" Lin Rui still wanted to know when Tony would go to the Middle East, and now he even changed his name.
"I've already said this before, it's classified, and your level isn't enough. However, I can tell you a little bit, I will leave New York on the 6th of next month. Although he was a little drunk, Tony knew that there were some things he couldn't say, and he just mentioned his itinerary a little.
"On the sixth of next month? Then, there is only half a month left. Hearing Tony's words, Lin Rui had already determined that he would leave for the Middle East in half a month.
It was at that time that Tony was kidnapped by terrorists to make more powerful missile weapons, and Tony was finally able to escape using steel armor. It was because of that kidnapping that Tony's personality, who has always been conceited and doesn't look at other people, has changed a lot. For the first time, I also knew that the weapons I invented and manufactured had been bringing harm to the world, and since then, Tony, who is committed to inventing high-tech weapons, has disappeared, and then Iron Man has appeared to protect everyone, and this is the birth of Iron Man.
Tony didn't know, although he didn't disclose the military's purchase of new weapons, he just said that Lin Rui was already very satisfied with the date when he went out. Because this is what Lin Rui cares about, how many weapons the military procures is not something that Lin Rui needs to care about.
"Well, then, Mr. Tony, I wish you a safe journey. Also, I hope you can take the gift I gave you with you, it can bring good luck. As he spoke, Lin Rui took out a Freya talisman from his pocket again and handed it to Tony.
"Well, didn't you give me one before? Pep already has one, do you have to give one to someone every time you meet?" Seeing that Lin Rui gave himself another handicraft that was as ordinary as last time, Tony asked curiously.
"Mr. Stark, in some mythological story, this vine knot has mysterious powers that can protect us from harm. Trust me, you'll need it. didn't explain anything, Lin Rui just said seriously. Although according to the normal development of the story, Tony's trip this time was only thrilling, but Lin Rui still felt that it was better to take some protective measures.
Of course, Lin Rui wouldn't give Tony an extra Freya Talisman for nothing, this thing needs a hundred reward points to exchange. It's just that Lin Rui suddenly remembered that when Tony was kidnapped by terrorists, he met a scientist who helped him. With the help of that scientist, Tony was able to create steel armor and escape. And the scientist seems to have died at the hands of terrorists in order to save Tony, for which Tony blamed himself for a long time.
Therefore, Lin Ruicai gave Tony an extra talisman. Hopefully, he'll be able to take his word for it and give it to the scientist, maybe it will save his life.
"Really, how did I not know there was such a myth?" Tony, who had already asked Jarvis to check the artifact, pouted, but still accepted Lin Rui's gift.
"Hehe, it's a myth that no one has ever heard of. OK, Mr. Stark, I think it's time for me to leave. Seeing Tony's drunken appearance, Lin Rui said goodbye in a timely manner.
"Well, it's a pleasure to drink with you, Jackson. Raising his hand, Tony gave Lin Rui a formal smile for the first time.
"I'm glad too, Mr. Stark. The next time we see each other may be when you come back from abroad, and I'll be looking forward to it. Standing up, Lin Rui said one last word and slowly turned around and left.
"Goodbye, Jackson. Pep, who was sitting next to Tony and taking care of him, also greeted Lin Rui with a smile.
"Well, goodbye, Miss Pep. ”
