#198 - All eyes on
“Heh heh heh ~”
Liang Yue chuckled softly upon hearing this, then reached out towards the seat opposite him and said.
“Please, sit down.”
“I think you should hurry up.”
Tony Stark said after sitting down, taking a sip of the white wine in his hand.
“The business I want to discuss is related to your health, Mr. Stark.”
Liang Yue looked at his business-like, stingy face and chuckled inwardly, thinking that this Iron Man's personality was just like in the movies, not very likable~
At this moment, Stark had already flipped open the watch under his cuff and started playing the countdown game with him.
“Your time is running out, kid~ Ten, nine, eight…”
Hapi, who was standing to the side, also dutifully walked over, placing a hand on his shoulder with a warning look, not forgetting his duty just because he had received a bottle of wine as a gift earlier.
“Don't interrupt, Hapi, go to the side and keep an eye out, don't let anyone get close.”
After saying that, Stark refocused his gaze on him, seemingly wanting to see something in Liang Yue's eyes, but ultimately failed~
“How did you know about this?”
“I naturally have my channels, Mr. Stark. Judging by your complexion, you must already be suffering quite a bit from the arc reactor in your chest, um~ I'm referring to heavy metal poisoning.”
“Continue~ I'm listening.”
“I don't think you've had that bottle of wine I sent you through Hapi last time, have you?”
“Oh? You mean to say that your wine can remove the heavy metal toxins from my body, right? And then you'll definitely say that you added a lot of precious medicinal herbs inside.
And used a secret recipe from your Eastern world, which can definitely promote blood circulation, beautify the skin, and eliminate toxins, right? So~ are you here to sell me wine, Mr. Liang Yue?”
“That bottle of wine does have all the effects you mentioned, but I'm not here to sell wine. The business I'm talking about is something even more thorough for you.”
“… Um hum~ Please continue.”
“I know a very special metal formula. Its atomic structure is not found on Earth, nor does it exist on the periodic table. It can be used to perfectly replace the palladium element in your chest.
However~ it doesn't exist in this world yet. Someone needs to make it.”
“Um hum~! I understand now. You mean you want me to fund your project, so you can create that metal you mentioned in the lab, the one that doesn't exist on the periodic table~
Hehe heh~ Would the great Mr. Stark also like to provide you with some technical support? For example, in the field of miniature arc reactors?”
Seeing Tony Stark in front of him, who thought he had caught his little trick and continued to deduce along his line of thought, completely portraying Liang Yue as a project scammer seeking funds from him.
Liang Yue then reached out and interrupted the other party's fantasy, then continued with a hint of teasing smile.
“You misunderstand, Mr. Stark. What I mean is, I'll give you the formula and design structure, and you'll manufacture the new element. Once you've created that thing.
If it has an effect on your body, then you can give me the money. That's the deal I'm talking about. Of course~ if you want to use this to do business, giving me a share of the profits would be even more appreciated.”
Let Liang Yue do the new element?
Don't be ridiculous, he doesn't have that technology, nor that talent and need, or rather, this guy is not that type of person at all!
This guy is just simply trying to earn some extra money now~
After hearing his words, Tony Stark fell into deep thought, staring at the champagne in his hand, his expression changing several times.
After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Liang Yue, raising his eyebrows.
“You seem very confident, kid~”
“Of course, because what I said is true.”
“Um~~~ Come with me, let's find a quieter place to talk.”
Saying that, Stark sighed softly, then flicked his head at this guy, signaling him to follow.
… …
A moment later~
“What did you say? You mean you want to take an unknown formula with untested feasibility from Stark and get 100 million US dollars?”
“It's payment afterwards, Mr. Stark. After you create that new element, you'll need to transfer 100 million US dollars to me. Of course~ if you're not at ease, we can sign an agreement.
However, I might need a little bit of the subsequent profit sharing.”
“Huo huo huo~ Don't even think about it, kid! I've never seen anyone like you, Tony Stark, trying to do business with me. Don't even think~”
“Knock knock knock~”
Just at this time, in the quiet, soundproofed, demagnetized glass room, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The two immediately turned their heads to look, and then the door was pushed open, and it turned out to be Tony Stark's personal assistant~ Pepper Potts.
“Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Potts? We're in the middle of a business discussion~”
Being Stark's personal assistant, Pepper Potts obviously knew her employer's nature very well, so she directly stated the reason. While speaking, she still maintained a gentle and amiable smile on her face.
“Miss Stewart is here. I think you should go and greet her, Tony.”
As she spoke, Stark clapped his hands together, then turned his head and looked at Liang Yue with a look of disgust on his face.
“We'll talk about your business later, kid. Believe me~ no one can get Stark's benefits for nothing~”
While saying that, this wealthy man was still accepting Miss Pepper Potts' tidying of the wrinkles on his clothes. After that, he strode out excitedly.
Liang Yue naturally wouldn't be waiting here foolishly at this time, so he followed behind the other party, walking out unhurriedly.
“Aren't you waiting for him here? I mean, you guys seemed to be talking about cooperation matters just now.”
Pepper Potts, who was walking beside him at this time, also reminded Liang Yue with a bit of a reminder.
“It's okay, I'm not in a hurry about business matters. I'm going to greet my girlfriend now.”
“Girlfriend?”
… …
After returning to the venue, Tony Stark had quickly walked towards the crowded crowd in front, reminding the people in front to quickly make way all the way.
After a while, he came to the forefront of the crowd.
Liang Yue had already stood on the steps at this time, and saw Elizabeth's figure from a distance.
At this time, she was wearing a moon-white evening dress, and her overall dress was very simple and elegant. Her golden hair was tied up high, and she was also wearing a pair of lotus hairpins that she had given her.
Surrounded by the glamorous crowd around her, she still appeared extraordinarily eye-catching, like a noble lotus flower, making people see her uniqueness at a glance.
“I didn't expect you to come in person, respected Miss Stewart. The entire Stark Group is deeply honored!”
Tony Stark seemed very gentlemanly and solemn at this time, straightening his waist, putting one hand behind his back, and showing Elizabeth a gentle smile.
Then, he gently picked up the blonde girl's hand, bent down and gave a kiss of the hand.
“I'm very glad to receive your invitation, Mr. Stark. Your venue is arranged~ very unique.”
Elizabeth looked up and glanced at the crowd around her. After seeing Liang Yue's figure, a charming smile suddenly appeared on her face.
“Oh~ I'm sorry, my venue was indeed arranged a little casually today. Well, why don't we change the style and change to a piece of classical music?”
Saying that, Tony Stark immediately winked at Hapi behind him, waving his hand to tell him to hurry up and do it.
“No need, Mr. Stark. I came here today actually to find my boyfriend. He's at the venue now~”
“Boyfriend?”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Stark's face suddenly stiffened, and a burst of frustration suddenly came from the crowd.
Especially those young single men at the scene, who originally wanted to come up and show their hospitality, and even fantasized about kissing Fangze and having a romantic encounter with Elizabeth.
Now that this lady said this, she immediately shattered their thoughts.
“Who is it? Which lucky brat was able to get your favor?”
Stark pretended to be full of jealousy at this time, scanning the crowd with his eyes, and finally looked at Elizabeth herself.
“It's me~”
At this time, Liang Yue's voice came from behind him at the right time.
Then this guy separated the crowd, and then walked slowly towards the middle of the two people in full view.
From Tony Stark's hand, he took the slender jade hand that he had been holding in his palm, and then wiped the place that had just been kissed by the other party on the back of the blonde girl's hand on his chest.
“You look beautiful tonight, Elizabeth~”
Saying that, Liang Yue smiled lightly and reached out to stroke her golden hair, his fingers gently brushing over the hairpin on her head, and then a kiss was imprinted on that crystal-clear lip.
Touching and separating, then Liang Yue turned his head in Elizabeth's eyes full of smiles and tenderness, and looked at Tony Stark behind him.
Invisibly, there was a bit of overlooking in this guy's expression now~
And Stark, this wealthy man, was now with his neck stuck, looking at him with jealousy and disapproval.
Seeing Liang Yue's expression at this time, Stark's brow jumped immediately, and then he said with a stinky face.
“Kid~! If I could be twenty years younger now, no~ ten years! I would immediately slap you with a glove and start a life-and-death duel to rescue the beautiful princess from you!”
“You have no chance, Mr. Stark~”
