Luke hurriedly replied, "I know. We bought 1.57% of Stark Industries' shares. If you work hard, you'll be able to join the board of directors."
Jenny said, "Yes, I'm already working on it. But don't you know something else? "
Luke asked, "What is it?"
Jenny said, "… Tony Stark has finished cleaning up the company. He now has more than 65% of the shares. From now on, nobody will be able to shake his control over Stark Industries. "
Luke said, "Hm, that … doesn't seem to have much to do with us?"
Jenny said, "But Ms. Pepper has already revealed in private that the company will undergo a major transformation and enter a new field to become a technology company."
Stumped for a moment, Luke thought for a moment and asked, "Do we still have money? If we do, we can buy some more shares … "
Jenny's heart skipped a beat. "Don't talk about it over the phone. Come to the company right away." She then hung up.
Luke scratched his head. The female CEO was quite good at acting first and reporting later.
However, he and Jenny hadn't seen each other for a few days, and had only contacted each other via email and phone. It was indeed time to talk in person.
Jenny should've also remembered that Luke had said before that he had connections in Stark Industries.
The last time they talked, they had made more than five billion dollars from the financial market.
They might be able to make a fortune again this time, so she couldn't let him talk over the phone. After all, it would be easy for someone to eavesdrop on them.
Of course, the line between Luke and her had been encrypted, and it was very unlikely that they would be able to eavesdrop on them.
But she just wanted to talk when they met.
Luke drove another car out of the lab garage and turned right into the phone company's parking lot. He then took a special elevator to the 18th floor.
Only he and Jenny could use this special elevator. It wasn't Jenny's office, but her break room on the 18th floor.
Although it was called a break room, it was actually a luxurious apartment that Jenny lived in in Nassau County.
Jenny didn't show up immediately after he entered.
Luke leisurely changed his shoes and wandered around the living room.
He had never been here before. At most, he had seen some of it on videos.
Then, he noticed a telescope in the floor-to-ceiling window that faced the highway.
As long as it was tilted down slightly, it would be facing the highway below, and he could even see the license plate clearly.
Luke couldn't help but chuckle. Well, this really isn't surveillance. At most, it's … sightseeing?
After wandering around for ten minutes, Luke poured himself a cup of coffee and stood in front of the window.
The building that Jenny had chosen for the phone company wasn't clustered together with the other buildings. Instead, it was close to Queens.
Other than this tall building nearby, the other buildings were at least a few kilometers away, so the view was extremely wide.
Unlike New York, Nassau County wasn't filled with high-rise buildings. The surrounding area was covered in greenery, with only a few roads and scattered houses.
Today was a continuation of yesterday's good weather. The morning sun shone down, and the dewy green plants were full of vitality.
Most of the time, even if Luke was sitting at home, he would be looking for clues, or thinking about what project to work on.
At Jenny's place today, the female CEO could come out of the bathroom at any time, so he simply gave his brain a break.
For a moment, he was absent-minded.
After a while, a fragrant wind drifted over.
The scent of perfume wasn't strong, but faint. A pair of arms reached out from behind him. Jenny hugged his waist and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
Luke turned his head and said with a smile, "Nothing. I'm just daydreaming."
Jenny was a little dazed by the smile in the sun. A moment later, she mumbled, "Why do I feel like you've become more handsome? This doesn't make sense. "
Luke was amused.
It was impossible not to be handsome.
After his 40 Mental Strength was withdrawn, his temperament would still improve, but it would only be obvious after a certain period of observation.
But Jenny was very familiar with him, and keenly sensed this change.
Secondly, although he wouldn't abuse Elementary Pheromone Control, he could release a little to make Jenny, who was close to him, feel better and not be full of resentment when she was with him.
To do this, he only needed a very small amount of pheromones, which wasn't much more than what ordinary men released on a daily basis.
However, ordinary men's pheromones might not make the opposite sex feel good about them. This was similar to the relationship between a key and a lock.
Luke's pheromones, on the other hand, had already evolved into a master key.
Unless there were special circumstances, most women would have a good impression of him.
With these two new abilities, it was normal for Jenny, who hadn't seen him for a long time, to notice that he had become more handsome.
He put his arm around Jenny and sat down in front of the window.
Through the thin floral dress, he could feel her body heat. Coupled with the fragrance of her shower, it was a soft and warm embrace.
Feeling peaceful, Luke poured coffee for them and chatted as he sipped it.
They talked about how to make money from the fluctuations in Stark Industries' stock price again, but they were in a relaxed mood.
Neither of them cared too much about how much money they could make this time.
Titanium Phone Company was developing rapidly, and its valuation had skyrocketed.
Some of the profits from the collapse of Stark Industries' stock price last year had been set aside for the expansion of the phone company.
For other phone companies, the research department, which required a lot of long-term investment, was still just a miscellaneous department. Luke's plan was enough to last for eight to ten years, and Jenny didn't need to invest a huge amount of money in it.
What she really needed to invest was the purchase of patents and marketing. However, the Titanium phone itself was already generating a lot of profits, and she didn't need to invest much money.
The phone company, which wasn't actually that big, clearly had too much capital.
As long as they had money, the company wouldn't be under too much pressure.
Luke, who had made up his mind to rest for half a day, didn't let the atmosphere become like before.
The two of them sat in front of the window, basking in the winter sun as they drank coffee and chatted for a long time.
…
Luke returned to the lab before nightfall.
Looking at Luke, who had returned in a new set of clothes, Selina curled her lip. She couldn't be bothered to mock him. She simply said, "Didn't you say you were going to do a face-changing plan? John Wick just left the Continental Hotel with a big bag of weapons. If you don't hurry up, he might run away after killing the Tarasov family. "
Luke's interest was piqued. "Did he find someone?"
Selina shrugged and said, "Probably. As long as he pays, someone at the Continental Hotel will sell him information. "
Luke shook his head and sighed. "You can't be too arrogant. As the only son of the Tarasov family's patriarch, Iosef had everything he wanted, but he courted death by stealing a super hitman's car and even killed his dog to show off. Isn't that a typical brainless villain? "
A real villain should have killed John Wick on the spot.
