With Obadiah Stane's matter coming to an end, the company's board of directors no longer had a troublemaker, and Tony's resistance to returning to the company was suddenly reduced. He regrouped, and the first thing he did when he returned to the company was to suppress those who still wanted to play tricks on him. Then, he announced the second thing —
He was going to hold the Stark Expo.
Hearing this news, Pepper was the first to get angry.
"This expo is just a waste of time." She held her forehead and paced back and forth in the room. "This is just to satisfy his own vanity! Does he know how many people on Stark Industries' payroll will be affected by this decision?! "
"Pepper, Pepper, hey, calm down, relax." Lin Ching-wan held her shoulders and tried to calm the anger in her head with a gentle voice. "Tony is not a person who changes his mind easily. Instead of persuading him to stop holding the expo, it's better to think about how to recover some losses."
Pepper held her forehead in pain and looked like she wanted to give up treatment.
After comforting Pepper, Lin Ching-wan walked down and looked at Tony, who was still tapping on the workbench, and frowned. "Give me a reason."
"What?" He looked up at her.
"You're usually unreliable … Don't look at me like that, it's the truth. But you shouldn't be joking about the company at this time, not to mention you gave away most of your assets. Tony, are you hiding something from me? "
"Honey, I just want to do some charity. You know, there are too many people poorer than me. "Tony's tone was as annoying as ever, and it didn't look any different from usual.
But Lin Ching-wan felt that something was wrong with him. She stared at him suspiciously for a while, but couldn't see any clues from his face. She could only put this aside for now — she still had work to do at the expo.
She sighed and prepared to go up to talk to Pepper about the expo. When she walked past Tony, her eyes suddenly fixed on a point on the workbench.
"Why have you started drinking chlorophyll juice recently? I remember you didn't like it before. "She asked doubtfully.
"Uh … the doctor said that I should take care of myself. This is good for my health."
Lin Ching-wan didn't show whether she believed him or not. She just raised her eyebrows and said, "Good. Keep it up."
"Yes, ma 'am." Tony pretended to be serious as he put his index and middle fingers together and slid them across his forehead. The smile at the corner of his mouth was still unique to him.
Therefore, Lin Ching-wan didn't see Tony's darkened expression the moment she turned around.

The opening of the expo made the whole company busy. At this time, when everyone wanted to use 24 hours as 48 hours, Tony came up with something again.
He wanted to hand over the company to Lin Ching-wan and let her be the CEO of Stark Industries.
"What did you say?!" Lin Ching-wan's first reaction upon hearing this decision was to place her hand on Tony's forehead. "Tony, you don't have a fever, do you?"
"Hey, Qing, don't make such a fuss." He took her hand down and held it in his. "You're actually very capable, but you haven't had the chance to use it. It's better to leave the company to you than to me. Qing, you're the person I trust the most and the most suitable candidate. "
"But …"
"No buts. It's decided. We'll go to the company tomorrow morning to sign the agreement." Tony didn't give her a chance to speak. After making the decision, he unilaterally ended the conversation.
Even though the company was a mess, the efficiency of carrying out the CEO's orders was still very high. The next morning, when they arrived at the company, the legal department sent a female employee to take charge of their transfer agreement.
It had to be said that the director of the legal department was very considerate. He had even specially found a beautiful and hot female employee.
However, because the current boss had a heavy heart and the incoming boss was a woman, no one present was in the mood to appreciate her beauty.
Well, except for Hapi, who wasn't in the situation.
With the help of Miss Natalie Lashman, the appointment document was quickly signed. After settling this, Tony seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden and regained his previous vitality.
"Hey, let's go on a vacation."
"What?"
"How about Venice? The streets and alleys there are beautiful — "
"Wait, wait a minute." Lin Ching-wan interrupted him. "Tony, have you forgotten that you've just handed the company over to me? It's the busiest time after the handover. I can't leave now to go on a vacation with you."
Tony stopped. After a pause, he held her shoulders with both hands and said, "Qing, I want to have a vacation with you, just the two of us." He stared at her with his honey-colored eyes, making it impossible for her to reject him.
"Okay," she compromised. "Give me a week. I'll go with you after I've dealt with the company."
"A week is too long. Let's go in three days." He casually raised the difficulty of the task.
"…" Lin Ching-wan was so angry that she almost lost her temper. She pressed her temples and nodded. "Okay, okay, okay. Three days it is. I'll go with you after I'm done. Are you satisfied now? "
Of course, Master Stark was very satisfied, so he let her go to work on the company's affairs.

What did it feel like to have all the work done in three days?
Lin Ching-wan would tell you that it felt like every day of the week had turned into a black Monday, and every day she opened and closed her eyes were filled with documents.
She finally finished most of the work in the evening of the third day. The rest of the simple work was entrusted to Pepper, and she packed her things and prepared to go home. She had been so busy these days that she had to have a good sleep.
When she walked to the entrance of the building, Lin Ching-wan suddenly received an unknown call.
"Who would call me at this time?" She wondered. She didn't want to miss a potential partner, so she picked up the phone.
But strangely, no one said anything. Even though she said "Hello?" several times, There was still no response.
'Is it a prank call?' Lin Ching-wan frowned and hung up the phone, ready to call a taxi back.
At this moment, she heard a beep from above her head. She looked up and saw a countdown timer placed on the glass cover above her head, and there was still time left on it.
At the last second.
"Boom!"
A loud noise was followed by a powerful airflow from the entrance of the Stark Industries building. Some employees and pedestrians walking nearby were affected and fell to the ground by the hot airflow.
Lin Ching-wan, who was directly below the 'Gun', had been completely buried by the broken bricks and glass shards.
The passers-by on the other side of the road had already quickly dialed 911. Those who had only fainted from the shockwave and were not seriously injured were also helped to the benches outside the coffee shop across the street by kind-hearted people who were not injured. Only a few people saw Lin Ching-wan, who was standing at the door and talking on the phone before the explosion.
"A woman is buried in that pile of rubble!"
A passer-by pointed to the pile of bricks at the entrance of the building and said to the firefighters who arrived in time.
The firefighters who received the guidance immediately acted. However, not only did they hear this, but the reporters who heard the news also heard it.
"… There was a sudden explosion in the Stark Industries building. According to people who know the scene, the person buried under the 'Gun' is the new CEO of Stark Corporation, Miss Lin Ching-wan. It is still unknown whether this is a vicious revenge incident …"
The female reporter on the TV news was still reporting. Behind her was the Stark Industries building that had just exploded and was still filled with smoke. Tony's eyes were fixed on the TV, and his face was gloomy.
He remembered that last night, Lin Ching-wan was still pretending to complain to him that there were too many things to do at the company and that she must lie down before getting up on the first day of the trip. But now, she was lying in the pile of rubble, and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead. Tony didn't know how much this accident had to do with the handover of power in the company, and whether she had suffered on his behalf. He only knew that he couldn't let her die.
He couldn't let her leave him like her parents.
