Phew ~
For the second time since Lin Rui came in, the whole office was quiet and Tony looked at the young man in front of him. Nor did he think that this brilliant young man always seemed to be able to surprise himself.
“Jackson, you really surprise me! Maybe you shouldn't be a regular reporter. I've got an idea to get you to work at Stark Industries.” Leaning slowly on the chair, Tony slowly spoke as he watched Lin Rui across the street.
Lin Rui just raised the issue of two of the biggest flaws in the Ark reactor. The cost is good to say that there are more rich people in the world than Lin Rui thought. The point is that this complete ark reactor is now too large and time-consuming to maintain.
As a perfectionist, Tony, of course, was reluctant to admit that his invention was so flawed. But he also had to admit that Lin Rui was right, and that was Tony's affliction. Thirty years have passed since the Ark Reactor was built, and Tony has almost abandoned some of the plans against it.
“Mr. Stark complimented me, I actually just made my point. And I'm sure Mr. Stark is also actively looking for ways to reduce the size of the Ark reactor. The world's first computer was born in 1946, and it took decades to reduce its size. As the greatest genius of the century, Tony? Mr. Stark, I don't think it's going to take that long if you really care.” Looking at Tony, Lin Rui stirred him up a bit. Though I don't know how Tony suddenly found a way to shrink the Ark Reactor in the original movie, Lin Rui felt that early motivation should get Tony to find a way.
“Huh! You've underestimated me for decades.” Tony certainly doesn't think it's going to take him decades to find a design for a shrinking ark reactor, which is somewhat unpleasant.
“Well, I'm looking forward to Mr. Stark's latest design, but you'll have to let me know the first time.” At the end of the day, Lin Rui just wanted Tony to pay early attention to the issue. Though he knew Tony would design a small ark reactor when it was kidnapped by terrorists, wouldn't it be better if it was done early?
“Well, I don't think you'll be waiting too long.” Tony felt like he was running out of time and couldn't let the young man in front of him see the joke.
“Of course I believe in Mr. Stark.” Lin Rui responded with a smile.
“Okay, Jackson. Even if you want to be a qualified journalist, it's too serious for your age. 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.
“Although I'm not of legal drinking age, I'd like to have a drink that should be fine. Moreover, few people should have had the opportunity to drink the wine Miss Peppe had invited.” Lin Rui nodded with a smile. Lin Rui would not really care about the legal age limit of 21 years for drinking alcohol. He was already over 21 years old!
“Oh, are young people as talkative as you are now?” Another compliment from Lin Rui, Pep smiled and poured some red wine on Lin Rui. There's really only one thing she doesn't want this 16-year-old getting drunk in Tony's office.
“Thank you." With a glass, Lin Rui greeted Tony slightly in front of him and drank it.
“Ah! I don't know how to describe this smell, but I think it's time to say a good bar!” Feeling the unspeakable smell in his mouth, Lin Rui frowned slightly and spoke.
“Ha ha! Pepper, it looks like our little friend has a good booze! Pour him another drink, this time with the Jackson kids!” Looking at Lin Rui's frown, Tony seemed to have found something to hit him, smiling at Pep beside him and saying, "He's not bullying me!
“Tony, that's not good. Jackson's a little boy. Do you still want to pour him wine?” Of course Pepper won't listen to Tony like that, she was just trying to get Lin Rui to drink a little wine to soothe the atmosphere.
However, just after Pep had said it, Lin Rui, sitting across the street, had put the cup on the table again and pushed it forward a little bit, and the meaning of his move was obvious.
“Oh, it looks like our Jackson kids want a few more drinks too! Pep, what are you waiting for? Guests are pushing their glasses over, don't I deserve this?” As Lin Rui pushed the cup over, Tony's eyes lit up and he said happily to Pep.
“Jackson, are you sure?” Without listening to Tony, Pep asked Lin Rui again.
“It's all right, Miss Pepper, I'm fine with this, as long as my parents don't know.” Shaking hands, Lin Rui said seriously.
Lin Rui still wants to have a few more drinks with Tony. Better get Tony drunk. We can talk more then! The other thing is, Lin Rui really hasn't had a drink in a long time. This time, he can easily drink the top red wine. Although he doesn't know what it tastes like, he won't let go of this opportunity.
“Then pay attention yourself, don't get really drunk, it won't be easy to tell your parents.” Pep finally gave another order and then poured some more wine into Lin Rui's glass.
“Ha ha! Come on, have a drink with our Jackson kids!” Raising the glass, Tony smiled and ran into Lin Rui.
Ding ~
Tony glanced at the grove and drank it up. Then, Lin Rui across the street, of course, was also unhappy with the sip of loss, showing the character of a young man.
“Pep, go get us another bottle. Looks like Jackson's kids are having a great time today!” Lin Rui seemed to be a man who could not easily be persuaded to lose, and Tony waved to Pep.
“You... hey! Never mind, don't bother me when you're drunk.” Pep was going to try to persuade me to stop thinking about it and get drunk on these two naive guys.
“Come on, let's go back and drink!” Take the glass, Tony stood up behind the desk and said to Lin Rui.
If you want to drink, of course it's best to lean on a comfortable sofa. Lin Rui also stood up and followed Tony to the back lounge. Lin Rui, who had the strength, was not afraid of being intoxicated by Tony.
……
Dang ~
Phew ~
The glass in his hand lay powerless on the glass table in front of him, and Tony lay down on the sofa with some dizziness. Two people consumed two bottles of red wine in less than an hour, and even Tony, who was doing well, was a little unconscious at the moment. But Lin Rui, sitting across from him, looked okay. Although he was equally blushing, he seemed to be conscious.
“Is this a natural boost for first-time drinkers?” Watching Lin Rui lift the glass again, Tony poured it on the couch somewhat helplessly thought of it. He would lose to a 16-year-old in a spell, which Tony could not have imagined.
And Pep, sitting next to him, had long seen that Tony was drunk, but she didn't warn him that Tony had asked for it anyway, and the point was that he really couldn't even drink a 16-year-old.
“Mr. Tony, I think I've had enough. If we keep going, it's not good to go home.” No more fighting Tony, Lin Rui gave him some face in due course.
“Well, I think so, after all, you're not of legal drinking age, so it's not good to drink too much.” Some drunk Tony knew he was going down the stairs, but he couldn't drink anymore anyway.
“So, Mr. Tony, can you talk to me now about the military buying new weapons?” Lin Rui still wants to know when Tony specifically went to the Middle East, and now even his name has changed.
“I've said this before, it's classified, you don't have enough rank. But I can tell you a little bit, I'm leaving New York next month on the sixth.” Though a little drunk, Tony knew there were things he couldn't say, just a little mention of his itinerary.
“Next month on the 6th? Well, there's only half a month left.” Having heard Tony's words, Lin Rui has determined that he will leave for the Middle East in half a month.
That was when Tony was kidnapped by terrorists to make him a more powerful missile weapon and eventually escaped with steel armor. That's because of that kidnapping, he's always complacent, and Tony's personality has changed dramatically without seeing anyone else. It was also the first time that Tony, who was committed to inventing high-tech weapons, disappeared after knowing that the weapons he had invented had been causing harm to the world, and came out to protect everyone, and that was the birth of Iron Man.
Tony did not know that, although he did not disclose military actions to procure new weapons, he merely said that the date of his departure had been satisfied. Because that's what Lin Rui cares about, how many weapons the military purchases are not what Lin Rui needs to care about.
“Well, Mr. Tony, I wish you a safe journey. And, I hope you can take my gift with you, it can bring good luck.” Lin Rui took another Friar talisman out of his pocket and handed it to Tony.
Didn't you give me one before? Pep already has it. Do you have to give this thing to someone every time you see him? ”Tony was curious to see Lin Rui send himself another handicraft just like the last one.
“Mr. Stark, in some mythical story, this vine has a mysterious power that protects us from harm. Believe me, you'll use it.” There is nothing to explain, Lin Rui just said it seriously. Though Tony's journey was just as risky as the normal story, Lin Rui thought it would be better to do some protection.
And Lin Rui certainly won't give Tony an extra Friar talisman for nothing. This thing needs a hundred reward points to redeem. However, Lin Rui just 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 make iron and steel armor and finally escape. And the scientist eventually seemed to have died in the hands of terrorists trying to save Tony, and Tony blamed himself for that for a long time.
That's why Lin Rui gave Tony an extra talisman. Let's hope he can believe his words and give this talisman to the scientist, maybe save his life.
“Really? How did I not know there was such a myth?” Tony, who had already asked Jarvis to look into this handicraft, spoke up, but accepted Lin Rui's gift.
“Oh, just a myth no one has ever heard. Okay, Mr. Stark, I think I should leave too.” Looking at Tony drunk, Lin Rui said goodbye in due course.
“Well, it was nice drinking with you, Jackson.” Raise your hand, Tony's first formal smile at Lin Rui.
“I'm glad too, Mr. Stark. The next time I see you, maybe it's time for you to come back from abroad, and I'll be looking forward to it.” Standing up, Lin Rui finally said a word and slowly turned away.
“Goodbye, Jackson.” Pep, sitting next to Tony and taking care of him, also smiled and greeted Lin Rui.
“Well, goodbye, Miss Pepper. ”
