Thanks to Pepper, Lin Ching-wan has all kinds of clothes in her wardrobe, so she avoids the embarrassing situation of having nothing to wear.
Not knowing where Tony is going to take her, Lin Ching-wan chooses a white chiffon dress with black edges. The proper drape makes it look elegant but not frivolous. Although it looks a little plain, the classic dress design makes it suitable for some less serious formal occasions.
Her black satin waist-length hair is usually tied up or tied into a ponytail, but today it can't be so casual. She thinks about it, and takes out the magnolia white jade hairpin that her senior sister gave her for her birthday. She divides her hair into several buns, leaving only a strand hanging on the side of her neck.
"Well, let's go." Worried about missing the time, she quickly changes her shoes and hurries downstairs.
"Tony?" Seeing Tony looking at her without saying anything, Lin Ching-wan reaches out and waves her hand in front of his eyes.
"Qing, don't do this stupid thing." He grabs her shaking hand and shows an exaggerated and pretentious look of surprise on his face, "Look, are we going to meet a big shot today? You've never worn it in front of me. "
"If it weren't for the face of Mr. Tony Stark, who made headlines as soon as he appeared, I wouldn't torture myself like this." She shows a fake smile to Tony. "God knows how long I can wear this pair of stilts."
"Relax, Qing. You'll amaze the audience. "He takes Lin Ching-wan to sit in the car and looks at her from head to toe. He always feels that something is missing.
"Hapi, stop at the jewelry store in front."
"What are you going to do?" She blankly looks at him open the door, get out of the car and walk into the beautiful and expensive store, and then comes out in less than ten minutes.
"Try it, I think it suits you very well." He opens the delicate wooden box, revealing the delicate workmanship, studded with broken diamonds and simple and elegant earrings.
Lin Ching-wan accepted the gift and said, "Thank you. I will take it as my birthday present this year."
“Oh，come
On, your boss is not bankrupt yet. You don't have to save money for me. "
"Alright, alright." Under Tony's threatening gaze, she could only take out the bracelet and earrings and put them on.
My foresight is indeed very good. Tony praised himself in his heart without blushing.
Hapi's driving skills were very good. The car stopped steadily at the entrance of the concert hall. As expected, Tony Stark was always the center of attention. As soon as he got out of the car, someone immediately noticed him. All the flashes were immediately aimed at Tony, and the sound of shutters clicking could be heard.
However, they found that Mr. Stark, who usually did not hesitate to open the door and get off the car, had actually stopped in front of the car door today, as if he was waiting for someone.
The next moment, the mystery was revealed.
It was Miss Lin, who almost never appeared in public.
The flashes became even crazier.
"Okay, now I can be sure that my name will be in the headlines tomorrow." Lin Ching-wan followed Tony with a decent smile on her face and whispered to him without moving her mouth.
"Then you're famous. That's good," Tony replied in the same low voice. He then gave Obadiah, who was walking towards them, a hug.
Not long after entering the hall, the two separated. She didn't want people to think that she was too involved in the company's business. When the company's shareholders came over, she consciously went to the bar and ordered a mojito with low alcohol content.
"Miss Lin, nice to meet you. Hello."
Lin Ching-wan had just picked up the glass and took a sip when she heard an unfamiliar male voice from her left. She looked back and was a little surprised.
The person who came was the president of Hammer Industries, Justin Hammer.
"Hello, Mr. Hammer." She put down the glass and smiled at him, not intending to continue talking.
Hammer didn't feel neglected when he didn't wait for a response. In other words, he wasn't dissatisfied with being neglected at this time. He was complacent because of Stark Industries' wrong decision.
Tony Stark's brain was flooded with water. It was time for Hammer Industries to rise.
"Anthony is a genius, isn't he? But geniuses also make mistakes. It's a pity that Stark Corporation closed the weapons manufacturing department. "
In all fairness, Justin Hammer didn't look disgusting, but when Lin Qingwan looked at him at this moment, she felt her hands itch. She really wanted to punch that smug face.
"After all, if I didn't do this, Hammer Industries would have no way to survive." The familiar arrogant tone made Hammer's smile stiffen. He turned back and said, "Hey! Anthony — "
"I'm sorry, my assistant can't chat with you anymore." Tony walked over and grabbed Lin Ching-wan's wrist. He gave him a perfunctory and fake smile. "After all, as a competent employee, her attention can't leave the boss for too long."
After that, he didn't give Hammer a chance to answer and pulled her away.
Avoiding the noisy crowd, he finally made it to the balcony with great difficulty. Lin Ching-wan pulled her arm out of Tony's hand and leaned against the railing. "Justin Hammer must be pissed off by you."
Tony waved his hand indifferently and shirked the responsibility without any guilt. "This is my revenge for him poaching my girlfriend."
"I'm just a butler. How can so many people want to poach me?" She was amused by his nonsense.
"No, being Tony Stark's butler has proven your ability." He said seriously, "'Dealing with Stark's personal life is a life challenge.' Isn't that what the media said?"
"Uhhuh, you know yourself very well."
For a moment, neither of them said anything. Lin Ching-wan felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. She changed her position and wanted to say something.
"Well, why don't we go in and have a drink —" Before she finished the sentence, she swallowed the rest of the words back into her throat.
Because something soft brushed against her lips, she was so shocked that she forgot the rest of her words.
Based on the current distance between Tony and her, that soft touch should be... his lips.
Lin Ching-wan widened her eyes and held her breath. She swore that this was definitely the closest she had ever been to the opposite sex in her life. So, what should I do now?
After blinking a few times, Lin Ching-wan finally found a bit of rationality. She pushed Tony away and pretended to be natural, but in reality, she forced a smile at him and said dryly, "Ah, sorry, I was too careless. It's so strange here. Why is it so hot outside? Hahaha, I'd better go —"
After that, she lifted her skirt and ran into the hall as if there was a dog chasing her.
Tony was a little uncomfortable at first, but after seeing her performance, he suddenly didn't feel awkward. Looking at Lin Ching-wan's fleeing figure, Tony was in a good mood. He licked his lips and followed her in.
He walked to the bar and didn't find that familiar figure, so he had to order two glasses of whiskey and drink while waiting for her to come over.
In the end, the person he was waiting for didn't come. Instead, he subconsciously didn't want to see a person whose name he couldn't remember.
It was strange that he didn't want to see a beauty now.
"Uh... Carly —" He tried hard to remember her name.
"Christine." The person smiled at him.
"What's the matter?" His eyes were still searching the crowd, but he still patiently waited for her to continue.
"Have you heard of a town called Gumeira?" Christine, who was the female reporter who had a good time with him, took out a stack of photos and handed it to him. Her face was cold and solemn: "You said you didn't want to enjoy the zero-responsibility status anymore, so you closed the weapons manufacturing department. But, is this what you mean by taking responsibility? "
Tony took the photos with a sullen face and carefully looked at them one by one. The photos were all of the new weapons in the hands of the terrorists. And on the shell of each weapon, the name of Stark Industries was printed.
He just realized that he had been deceived by Obadiah Stane, or in other words, the group of shareholders who had no bottom line.
He took the photos to question Obi, but he was disappointed to find that the person who stopped him from returning to the company was the person he had always treated as an elder and a friend.
When he returned home, he saw the tragic situation of the residents of Gumeira who had lost their homes in the smoke of war on the news. He thought of Yin Sen who had cherished his life and lost all his family members when he was on the verge of death. All of this made the idea in his heart more urgent.
Tony threw the screwdriver back into the socket and raised his palm to smash the TV that was still broadcasting the news.
Now, it was time to do something that he should have done long ago.

"Tony, can you help me make something..."
Lin Ching-wan swallowed the word "can" before she said it. She slowly walked down the last few steps and stood at the door with her arms crossed. She looked at Tony Stark who was stuck in the mechanical arm and couldn't move. He was still crying out in pain from time to time.
"Mr. Tony Stark, can you explain to me why there are bullet holes all over your body?"
