"Maya?!" Tony was surprised to see Dr. Maya. It was true that Tony was a playboy, but he wasn't the kind of person who would forget the things he'd done after playing with them. For example, he still remembers the appearance of most of the women he has had a one-night stand with. Of course, there are very few names that he can remember. In most cases, he needs to rely on the small notebook provided by J.A.R.V.I.S.
But he still remembers Maya, not only because the two had a short relationship before (about a few hundred hours), but also because Maya is also a very good researcher. At that time, Maya was still in a state of penniless, and her research was still in the initial stage and there were many problems. But her theory about the healing of wounds in the body's genes and so on made Tony remember. Even if he can forget what this woman looks like, he can forget her name, but Tony did not forget her research topic. Perhaps from this point of view, Tony is really a very real and competent scientist.
"Long time no see, Tony." Maya has been away for more than ten years, but her face is still beautiful. Especially now, she was no longer the youthful and beautiful girl from before. She had a more feminine charm, a kind of beauty that had settled down.
"Please sit down, I really didn't expect you to come to me again." Tony invited Maya to sit down, "What would you like to drink? I have champagne, sparkling wine, and pre-mixed rum here. "
"Water, thank you." Maya said politely.
"Well, I thought you would drink to our reunion." Tony is married and has a daughter, and his private life is very restrained. But his ability to flirt with girls is engraved in his body. As long as he sees a girl, he will flirt with her intentionally or unintentionally, and even he himself is completely unaware that he is flirting with a girl. Perhaps this way of life has become a kind of instinct for him, and probably only the little pepper Peibo can tolerate this kind of character of his. If it were another woman, she would probably be angry to death or divorce within a few days of marriage.
"You are married, Tony. I thought you would maintain a better demeanor for the sake of your wife, "Maya said with a smile as she took the glass of water from Tony.
Tony also poured himself a glass of water. He took a sip and said, "Yes, I have always maintained a good demeanor. Actually, after establishing my relationship with Pepper, I've been very … hmm … obedient? Well, I really don't want to use this adjective to describe myself, I feel like a sissy. But I am really good now. I don't go to nightclubs, I don't pick up girls, and I don't attend Hollywood celebrity parties. Can you believe it? I live in Malibu Beach, Los Angeles. (Hollywood is in Los Angeles, and Malibu Beach is the only other place besides Beverly Hills where the rich and famous live.)
Maya smiled. "This is life, Tony. If you want to get something, you have to give up something. "
"You're right." Tony nodded. "Alright, we're almost done catching up. I guess you didn't come to me to catch up, did you? Especially after I'm married. "Tony flashed the wedding ring on his finger.
"Of course it's not just to catch up. In fact, I came with a business plan." Maya handed Tony a tablet she carried with her.
"Wow, then let me guess, you found a good investor for your previous plan, right? Who is it? " Tony took the tablet and didn't turn it on immediately. Instead, he asked with interest, "Have you gone ahead with the drug that can repair limbs and genetic lesions?"
"I thought it would stop, because the Osborne Group's regenerative medical technology has begun to be widely promoted, and there are more than a thousand treatment centers around the world. I thought no one would continue to invest in similar projects. It doesn't fit the business plan. "
Maya nodded. "Yes, Harry Osborne's regenerative technology has had a huge impact on my project in all aspects. And the chain of funds has also been broken. But there is no lack of people with foresight in this world. Some people will see the prospects of my products. "
"That's really an adventurous entrepreneur. Who continued to invest in you?" Tony turned on the tablet and was about to look at it.
"It's you, Mr. Tony Stark. You and your Horizon Foundation saved my project. "Maya revealed the investor behind it.
Tony was a little stunned. "Wait, I don't remember you applying for a project fund from the Horizon Foundation? Wait, this is the plan of the Twelve Palaces. You're working for Ethan now?! How do you know him? "
"Yes, that's it," Maya said with a smile. "Remember the party we met? Actually, Dr. Ethan was there that day. I even met him a few minutes before I met you. Of course, Ethan was an upright scholar, and you were a playboy at the time. "
"After Dr. Ethan established the Twelve Palaces, he found me and persuaded me to join the Twelve Palaces. At that time, my project had come to a standstill because of the impact of regenerative technology. My project was considered worthless, too repetitive with regenerative technology, and it was not as mature as the other party's technology. "Maya said helplessly.
"Wait, wait!" Tony stopped Maya. "I invested a lot of money in the Twelve Palaces, hundreds of millions of dollars. You're not saying that Ethan spent most of his money on your experiments, are you? "
Maya raised her eyebrows. "What if I did?"
Tony pulled a wry smile from the corner of his mouth. He felt in his heart that Ethan's decision was too wrong. From a business point of view, his hundreds of millions of dollars may have been wasted.
"The repetition rate of your results and regenerative technology is too high." Tony quickly browsed the information displayed on the tablet given by Maya. In fact, Ethan and Maya have hidden the entire Extremis information quite well, and many key things have not been shown. It only shows the side of it as a Healing Serum.
"If I want to promote this serum, then I must fight a commercial war with Harry Osborn. This will be a long battle, and it is hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end. "Tony has his own considerations.
"But my serum also contains some uses for the treatment of genetic diseases." Maya pointed out the difference. "This is something that regenerative technology cannot compare with."
"But Dawn Technology has signed a tripartite agreement with Regenerative Technology and Tuvalu. The next focus of Serum X will be shifted to the field of medical regeneration. In this regard, Dawn Technology has reached an agreement with Regenerative Technology. "A clear female voice came. Peber, who had passed her confinement period, had regained the demeanor of a strong business woman.
She was wearing high heels and a white professional suit, looking very capable and experienced.
"Ms. Maya, nice to meet you. I am the CEO of Stark Industries and Dawn Technology. You can call me Peber. "Peber introduced herself politely, but Maya vaguely felt her strength. As if she was declaring sovereignty, Peber pulled Tony away from Maya without a trace.
"Genetic engineering will be the next direction of research for Dawn Technology and Regenerative Technology. Maybe we should have a good talk. " Peber was smiling, but Maya didn't want to talk to her at all. She felt that talking to Peber would probably break down.
And Peber didn't give Tony a chance to say anything. She turned her head and said to Tony, "By the way, Mr. Iron Man, I think there is one thing you need to deal with."
Tony felt a little guilty in front of Pepper. Did what he did just now count as a private meeting with an old lover? So he quickly said, "Okay, what is it?"
