At the press conference of the Umbrella Company, the flashing lights continued to light up.
A large group of reporters crowded together and asked the host Pepper, “Miss Pepper, why did you come to work in this company? Have you quit your job as the secretary to the president of the Stark Group?”
“Why did you choose to quit your job as a secretary? Is it because Mr. Stark harassed you in the workplace?”
“…”
“Tony, did you sexually harass Pepper in the workplace?”
At the corner of the press conference, Li Xu was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and looked at Tony beside him mockingly.
“Humph!”
Tony rolled his eyes and didn’t want to speak.
He was beaten badly by Li Xu, because Pepper sneered at him for two days in a row because of the bad-mouthing video.
“pitiful!!”
Li Xu shook his head, smiling gloatingly.
Tony didn’t bother to care about this black-bellied bastard, so he turned his head to the side, but when he heard the reporter’s question getting more and more excessive, he couldn’t help but turn back: “Head, what about your beautiful 13-year-old secretary, why do you need Pepper to come?” Help you host the press conference?”
“Run away.”
Li Xu shrugged.
He has never liked participating in press conferences. Originally, according to the original plan, Natasha should have participated on his behalf.
It’s a pity that after revealing her identity, this woman disappeared, so Li Xu had no choice but to bring in the universal tool man—Pepper.
Speaking of which, Pepper’s ability to work is really strong.
Tony can be so chic because of Pepper and Jarvis. The work of simple decision-making is handed over to artificial intelligence, and the work of complex decision-making is handed over to the secretary. This guy will lie down and be lazy, enjoying the life of a playboy.
“Ran?”
Tony stroked his chin, and looked at Li Xu suspiciously: “You won’t harass him in the workplace, will you?”
“She’s more or less harassing me.”
Li Xu shook his head.
It’s not that he is bragging, but at Natasha’s level, if he wants, he can let her celebrate Mother’s Day next year.
Tony rolled his eyes again, and signaled to the products at the product launch conference: “Speaking of which, the products of Umbrella Company have a disruptive effect on the medical and beauty industries. The big groups in these two fields are unlucky. It’s bound to plummet.”
“It’s just bad luck.”
Li Xu chuckled: “I remember that the leader in the medical field seems to be the Osborne Group. Are you interested in buying it together?”
…
“Damn it!!”
On the top floor of the Osborne Building, in the office of the chairman of the Osborne Group, Norman Osborn looked at the stocks of the Osborne Group that were flying red all the way, with a gloomy face, and punched the table.
Because the Osborne family has a genetic disease, every generation will die early.
For the continuation of the family, and for his only son, Harry, Norman desperately researched a cure, and spent a lot of money on human genetic research projects.
Over the years, only two projects have achieved initial results.
One is to cooperate with the military to reverse-engineer the super-soldier serum and develop a human body enhancer from it.
The other is a new project that uses gene editing technology to combine animal genes and human genes.
The person in charge of this project is the extremely talented biological scientist Richard Parker. Under his leadership, the chimera of spider genes and human genes was used. The project was once close to success, and even succeeded.
However, when Norman was ecstatic and thought he had seen the light of hope, Richard Parker actually ran away!
What’s more, before running away, all the data was destroyed, and the reputation was that this technology was dangerous and would endanger human beings.
Generally speaking, Little Spider has a kind personality, but his father really doesn’t do anything.
Using other people’s money to do research, and destroying the results after they are produced, is simply… called the scum of scum.
After this incident happened, Norman was so angry that he went crazy. Not to mention the huge investment wasted, the family’s hope of recovery was also destroyed.
In desperation, Norman could only pin his hopes on human body enhancers.
It’s a pity that a lot of money has been invested in these years, and things have been researched, but they have huge side effects, and they can’t be improved. They have been stuck in this bottleneck.
As a result, the military and others became impatient and demanded to terminate the contract and no longer provide research funds.
To Norman, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
Osborne Group was founded by him alone, but after the group was listed and capitalized, the remaining equity in his hands was no longer enough to hold absolute control.
The board of directors was already very dissatisfied with his misappropriation of funds for genetic research, and the termination of the contract by the military pushed this dissatisfaction to a peak.
Next, at the board meeting, these two genetic research projects are likely to be withdrawn.
The reason there are two is because in addition to the human body enhancer project, Norman also hired Dr. Conners to continue research on gene editing technology in an attempt to restore the gene technology developed by Richard Parker.
It’s a pity that the results so far are very limited…
“No, I can’t wait any longer.”
Norman stood up with a sullen face.
There are only a few days left before the meeting of the board of directors. If the experiment still fails, there will be no hope for him and the Osborne family.
After walking out of the office, Norman walked quickly to the laboratory, squinting at the mice in the experiment: “Dr. Connors, can lizard serum be used?”
“I want to conduct human experiments immediately. I need accurate data.”
“This……”
Connors hesitatedAfter a while, he shook his head and said: “It is still in the observation stage, I suggest to use mice to conduct experiments first.”
“I don’t have time. I can’t wait that long.”
Norman said with a straight face, expressionless: “I will arrange a group of volunteers to come over and conduct human experiments immediately.”
“But…”
“No, but, if you can’t do it, you can choose to leave the Osborn Group, and I’ll arrange for someone else to join!”
Norman snorted coldly, turned around and left.
In the laboratory, Connors glanced at the empty cuff of his left hand, and clenched his right hand tightly.
Lizard serum is his life’s effort, not only to heal himself, but also to heal many disabled people like him. He must not give up.
“This is my achievement, my honor, and I must not give it up.”
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Connors glanced at the mouse whose forelimbs had regrown after being injected with the lizard serum. He gritted his teeth, picked up a lizard serum and stuck it on his arm.
“what!!”
Accompanied by a scream and rolling over, Connors got up from the ground and looked at the regrowth left hand in surprise.
“I succeeded, I succeeded!”
“Haha, I succeeded!!”
Connors raised his head and laughed excitedly. He didn’t notice that in the glass box, the normally normal mouse suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed. Its body grew fine green scales, and then exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
………
Section 156
When Li Xu knew that Dr. Connors had disappeared, it was already the next day. Almost all the news could see the report of “Dr. Connors turned into a lizardman”.
Under the wonderful pens of the editors, the whole process at that time was vividly restored.
The effects of Umbrella Company’s products are so frightening that it almost overturned the entire medical industry, and the share price of Osborne Group, a leading medical company, plummeted.
Therefore, Norman Osborn was overjoyed when he learned that Dr. Connors’ experiment was successful. He ignored the aftereffects of the lizard serum and hurriedly held a press conference in an attempt to restore the confidence of the shareholders.
The slogan of the press conference is very bluffing, claiming that it will cure all disabled people in the world, no matter if they have no hands, no feet, or no brains, all of them can be cured.
The slogan sounds fake, and it feels like selling Jianghu’s “Dali Pill”. To be on the safe side, Norman sent Dr. Conners to personally demonstrate the results of the lizard serum on a physically disabled volunteer.
As a result, extreme joy begets sorrow!
After being injected with the lizard serum, the volunteers immediately went berserk and turned into a green lizard man in seconds, smashing Dr. Connors into the air with one punch.
Then……
Connors turned into Dr. Lizard on the spot, beat his younger brother angrily, and smashed the lizard man that the volunteer turned into a meat paste.
The brutal and bloody scene made the reporter scream again and again, and they didn’t forget to take pictures while running.
Under the flashing light, Dr. Lizard seemed to regain some sense of reason, and immediately hid his face and fled, getting into the sewers of New York.
“That’s horrible!”
Li Xu shook his head, expressing deep sympathy.
Connors’ transformation into a lizardman is not bad, but the worst one this time should be the Osborne Group. The emergence of such a scandal at the press conference is simply a fatal blow to the Osborne Group.
The stock price of the Osborne Group is no longer a problem of falling, but has been soaring all the way, directly falling to the limit.
“Red Empress, together with the Stark Group to stop the Osborne Group in the stock market, and secretly collect the stocks in the hands of retail investors”.”
The corners of Li Xu’s mouth rose slightly.
It’s cheap to pick up for nothing, don’t want it for nothing.
Incorporating the Osborne Group into the protective umbrella can save a lot of time and not have to worry about laying out product channels and some factory production lines.
“Okay, sir.”
The 3D projection of the red queen appeared, unchanged from before, still the blonde loli in the red dress.
It’s just that compared to before, the degree of anthropomorphism is much higher. When speaking, she smiles and her voice is clear and sweet, like a real little girl.
“Sir, there is one thing I need to remind you. Today is Miss Susan’s birthday,”
“If you don’t tell me, I almost forgot.”
Li Xu patted his head and stood up from the office chair.
…
“Why haven’t you come yet?”
At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Susan was wearing a long black dress and sat on a campus bench a little depressed.
Tata…
At this time, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind him.
“plum!!”
Susan turned her head in surprise, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but after seeing the person clearly, the smile faded away immediately: “Victor, why is it you?”
The visitor was blond, with a hearty smile on his face. From his appearance alone, he could be regarded as a handsome guy.
Looking at Susan tenderly, the man named Victor took out a large bouquet of roses from behind: “Susan, today is your birthday, I wish you a happy birthday.”
“Thank you for your blessing, but you can keep the flowers for yourself. I already have a boyfriend.”
Susan nodded politely.
“who is it?”
Victor frowned: “Could it be that nerd Reed?”
“how is this possible.”
Susan shook her head resolutely, and stood up from the bench: “I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
“Susan!!”
Victor was holding the flowers and was about to catch up, when he saw the object of his crush flying into the arms of an Asian man like swallows falling into the forest.
“Honey, why did you come here!”
Susan hugged her sweetheart’s waist tightly, and looked warily at the beautiful blonde girl next to Li Xu.
Little vinegar jar! !
Li Xu laughed secretly, and introduced: “This is Jane MaTeach, thanks to her leading the way, otherwise I would not have been able to find you. ”
“Hello, Teacher Gemma!”
Susan smiled like a flower, and hugged Li Xu’s arm to swear sovereignty: “I am Susan, a senior student in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Thank you for helping my boyfriend just now.”
“No…You’re welcome.”
Gemma was a little embarrassed when her boyfriend who wanted someone else was caught, so she said hello and left in a hurry.
“As for what?”
Seeing Susan poking her mouth proudly, Li Xu shook his head speechlessly.
“.Of course!”
Susan raised her head slightly, squinting at Li Xu, like a fox protecting its food: “I have to keep an eye on you, lest that playboy Tony teach you badly.”
“…”
Li Xu had a weird expression on his face, and nodded in agreement: “Indeed, I’m such an upright person, I can’t be led astray by Tony.”
“It’s good to know.”
Susan leaned into Li Xu’s arms and nodded in satisfaction, stood on tiptoe and kissed, then tightly held Li Xu’s hand: “My dear, where should we go for our birthday?”
“How about the spaceship, let’s have dinner under the stars?”
Li Xu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled maliciously.
Susan blushed inexplicably, and nodded slightly.
“The five times I promised last time, I can’t let it go this time!”
Li Xu walked forward with his arms around Susan’s slender waist. Before leaving, he deliberately glanced at Victor who was standing there with an unwilling expression on his face.
If he remembers correctly, this should be the well-known (Li Zhao) Doctor Doom—Victor von Doom, known as God Doom, with both technology and magic. Technology is not inferior to Iron Man, and magic is not inferior. Belonging to Doctor Strange, he can be called a generation of wizards.
“Unfortunately, it should be the enemy.”
Seeing Victor’s tauren expression, Li Xu shook his head indifferently.
There’s no way, his handsome face is no longer God’s reward, but God’s chasing after him to feed him. Susan was dazzled when he saw it.
“Honey, what I have nothing to do with Victor is that he has been pursuing me unilaterally.”
Seeing that Li Xu seemed to notice Victor, Susan feared that he might misunderstand, so she explained nervously.
“I know Qing.”
Li Xu flicked Susan’s white and smooth forehead with his fingers, and said with a light smile, “You should think about how to fulfill the promise you made last time. Remember, it’s five times.”
