Chapter 534 You don’t miss him either.
“Is this how you treat guests? Leave us alone for two hours?!”
Usually, people from hostile companies are When hanging in the living room, there will be some videos, scenes or other things about mental attacks. Lille has seen a lot of them.
For example, Johnny Silverhand blew up Arasaka Tower fifty years ago. When Arasaka Company brought him to Saburo Arasaka, they showed him the casualty report of Night City, and a husband was killed in the bombing. Arasaka employees talk to him.
Switching to Marvel, Lear could have shown some scenes of Somalia being bombed indiscriminately by Iron Soldiers to these two executives from the Stark Group, but Lear did not do that.
It really makes no sense. They are not Tony Stark, so there is no point in looking at them.
So they just sat in the basement for two hours. Although the living room was not chilly, it felt like they were in prison.
Leal walked into the room and sat on the sofa, waving to the furious Pepper:
“To be more direct, we are competitors, and Stark Industries’ weapons are Our friends in Africa are embarrassed.”
“You also attacked the US aircraft carrier.”
“Madam, I don’t want to argue about this, but you used weapons produced by advanced industries, provided them to professionally trained troops, and then killed unarmed civilians.
We were made using backward industries. The ship, supplied to a makeshift militia, attacked the soldiers who knew they were at war."
"So you admitted it?"
Pepper Pepper looked quite professional. Like all corporate dogs, you have to catch the break between words to fight back, test, and engage in aggressive conversations.
This is the opposite of what Lear often sees in film and television works.
But Lear could also see the fatigue and sternness in her eyes.
So he waved his hand: "Then that's it for today. I thought you were talking about nutritious things. Get out."
The word "get out" blurted out, and Lille reacted then. Come here, I have been hanging out with V, Jack, and those rough guys in Night City for too long.
Get over there is a harmless word, here, Pepper's face turned red, and Happy stood up on the spot, with a bad look on his face
Pepper took a deep breath After taking a breath, I suddenly felt that Lille was either stupid or a very difficult type:
She was really worried about being left out here, so her words were a bit explosive, but usually the conversation could continue.
As a result, Lille directly blocked her in the middle with her subsequent words, leaving no room for retreat.
According to common sense, since there is no way out, she can only turn around and leave, but she really can't do this
Because she quietly came to New York and quietly came to Atlas There are very important things at the Si Group headquarters.
So she can only choose the hidden option
Normally, people at this level would not talk about death when speaking, and would leave some steps for each other, but Lille was smashed by the steps. If she wanted to say something, she had to jump down by herself. This jump was directly lower than the opponent. level.
Pepper pulled Happy away slightly in embarrassment, lowered his head and said to Lille: "I'm sorry, I was too abrupt. Something is really wrong. I... I want to ask for your help."
< br>"Say."
Liel knocked on the table, and a large screen popped up in the center of the table, and the data socket was exposed.
Pepper inserted the USB flash drive he brought in and said quickly: "I haven't seen Tony for a long time, and the public hasn't seen him for a long time. It's been a month, a whole month. They all stay in their own laboratories.”
Lille nonchalantly picked up the tea handed over by the dining car robot:
"It's normal. He's almost reached his age. It's normal to change from a playboy to a Frankenstein."
>"This is not normal! During this period, Stark Industries also started layoffs on a global scale. I am now almost It is almost impossible to receive reports from subordinates, and it is difficult to hear news from other branches."
"It is normal for science geeks to use information equipment for unified management. Our company also has this kind of system - no Trade secrets.”
Pepper was stunned because she didn’t know much about technology.
This kind of speculation has not never appeared in her mind.
Looking at her like this, Lille added: "So your uneasiness comes entirely from the fact that the CEO hid in the laboratory and secretly launched a layoff storm? Do you think you are no longer useful?" This situation may or may not be normal. Lille put down the tea in his hand, relaxedly spread his hands, and began to watch the contents of Pepper's USB flash drive.
This stuff is the Stark Industries data that Pepper can collect recently, as well as the Stark Industries operation data that can be collected in the past.
Comparing the two, it can indeed be seen that a lot of information has disappeared. The company seems to have closed many information channels necessary for employees to work, and many fund flows and production and transportation processes have become confidential——
Military secrets.
And Pepper looked at these data and came to a conclusion: despite large-scale layoffs, the company's efficiency seems to have become higher.
Is it normal? Some conclusive evidence is also needed.
Lille knew that Tony also had an AI. The butler Jarvis and his own brain could indeed improve efficiency in the case of layoffs.
Where is the decisive evidence?
"No!" Pepper was a little excited, "I'm not uneasy because of this! I know you are full of malice towards Tony, and towards us, but the current situation is definitely not what Tony wants to see."
" Don't be ridiculous, ma'am, Stark Industries' sales surged last year, and the military stunned the oil man with all that equipment."
"He was just cheated! "
Pepper organized the language and said: "Tony originally had a plan to develop new energy sources, but it was shelved. Roxon hoped that he would leave it alone for the time being, but he was still researching it, which shows that he did not want to interact with Roxon. Tied to a boat."
"Not that strong evidence, what else?"
Pepper immediately became anxious. This won't work, and that won't work either.
It's obviously very suspicious! Why don't you believe me? !
"Also. You are such an inexperienced bastard! No more! Intuition! I'll just say it straight, yes, this is a woman's intuition. Tony is definitely not the kind of person who can squat in the laboratory. I know this better than anyone else, there must be something wrong with him!"
After shouting, Pepper took a breath and calmed down: "I know you think we are warmongers! , is a bastard, but I guarantee you, Tony is definitely not the kind of person who would support bombing civilians! He and Roxon, we and Roxon"
" are on the same side, at least when it comes to bombing. It’s a group.”
Lear crossed his legs and said, "Ms. Potts, I can see that you are really in a hurry. Even if I am willing to act for your 'feelings', you have to come up with something sincere, right?
Let's just assume that Tony Stark was kidnapped in his laboratory. Who kidnapped him and why were all a mystery.
Let's just pretend Assuming this is the case, come up with something practical, Ms. Potts, you don't want him to continue to be tied up in the basement, do you?
Please, you must have something to give me instead of just relying on your mouth. Said. "
Pepper's face turned red and she slowly took out another hard drive from her bag. It seemed that she was hesitant to take it out.
"What is that?"
"Here is the data I secretly copied from the company."
Stealed? Do you dare to steal Tony Stark's database? I'm afraid it's full of viruses.
Lille stretched out his hand to stop Pepper from putting the hard drive into the console. The latter looked into Lear's eyes and said:
"But this is the sincerity I can show, you can see What research has Tony been conducting during this time, what companies has Stark Industries interacted with, and what projects are there that might be of some help to you?"
Lille took the USB flash drive: "If you are a hacker, this is a really smart move. I can't help but want to see what's inside.
Things are getting more and more interesting. Si The supporters of Tucker Industries call me a traitor and call him a hero, a war hero, and a superhero.
Now you want a traitor to save the hero."
"Please believe me." Pei. Po said sincerely, "Tony, he, he just went astray."
"The price of this going astray is a bit high, ma'am, for everyone, I'll see what I can do Something, but don’t get your hopes up. ”
