Chapter 1

New York. Cornell Presbyterian Hospital.

"Dr. Cornell, hello, I have been feeling mentally exhausted recently. After waking up, my whole body is sore. This seriously affects my work and makes me very distressed. Can you prescribe me some medicine? You know Stark Industrial Building is currently undergoing major layoffs, and I don't want to be fired!"

"Doctor Cornell, as you know, the salary in the Stark Industrial Building is really high, and there is no better salary in New York than here." A young Asian man in a black suit, tie, and gold-rimmed glasses held his head in his hands and said in distress.

"Jake Zhou, there is really nothing wrong with you! You are just too stressed at work. I have never seen a young man who works as hard as you, a young man who is so self-disciplined."

"You are really too serious about your work, it's a bit too serious! Since you graduated from New York University, how many awards have you won? The youngest director of Stark Industries, the representative of the top ten outstanding youths in New York, Representative of the World Peace Conference, Vice President of the Earth Ecological Environment Protection Association, New York City Councilman!"

"I don't know why you are worried that you will be fired by Tony? Tony has said to me many times here that Stark can live without his uncle, but he absolutely can't live without you, Jake Zhou!" Dr. Cornell spread his hands helplessly and said.

"Doctor Cornell, even dogs won't believe what the capitalists say! As long as you are useless and don't work hard enough, you will be thrown into the garbage dump like shit sooner or later! The directors who have been dismissed from the Stark Industrial Building over the years are not less?" The Asian youth held his head and said in great pain!

"Jake Zhou, what you said is right, capitalists indeed have that kind of virtue! But Tony is different, Tony really regards you as a close friend and a good brother, You can try to believe him. Well, That's it for today's talk. I'll give you some medicine to relieve fatigue, and I hope it will work for you."

"Jake Zhou, but I still hope you can think about it, take it easy, go to more pool parties, and do some exercise with young models, which will help you reduce your fatigue."

"According to what I heard from Stark, you have never been in love since you were young, and you have never done such sports. A 28-year-old virgin boy like you is the only one in New York, NO, it should be said that you are the only one in the entire United States!" Dr. Cornell handed over the prescribed prescription and said jokingly.

"Thank you, Dr. Cornell!"

The Asian youth took the medicine list, stood up, bowed, and said sincerely. Then he clenched the medicine list tightly, turned and left. Dr. Cornell looked at the leaving figure of the young Asian, smiled and said, "You have achieved so much at such a young age, and you are also very humble and polite. Which boss would dismiss such a young man?"

Cornell Hospital, Main entrance.

Jake Zhou tightly held the medicine prescribed by Dr. Cornell, which was his life-saving straw.

He is a time traveler!

When he heard Stark Industries name on campus for the first time, he knew it was Marvel!

This is a world where the poor rely on mutation and the rich rely on technology. But the poor who rely on mutation, most of them died during the experiment. Rich people rely on technology because they have extremely smart brains.

Jake Zhou, who graduated from the Department of Business Administration of New York University, has nothing to do with technology. He doesn't have a golden finger like the system. He had no choice but to devote himself to Stark Industries, and he wanted to dedicate his life to Stark Industries.

Iron Man will protect him only if he has made some achievements in Stark Industries and become an indispensable figure in Stark Industrial Building. Right now he is a director of Stark Industries, a newly promoted director!

But everyone who has watched Marvel knows that Stark Industries is not peaceful. Tony has a bad uncle Obadiah, who is always thinking of seeking power and usurping the throne and becoming the boss of the company!

Now we are about to enter the era of superheroes where Iron Man was born. Once Tony disappeared, Jake Zhou would have a very difficult time during this period. As a director of the company, Tony's good brother and good friend, Obadiah will definitely find a way to squeeze him out of the company. Even let him completely disappear from this world. After all, Obadiah even dared to kidnap and kill his own nephew, let alone an outsider like him? So in the month before Tony is going to be kidnapped, he has to work harder to make the smartphone project in his hand a success as soon as possible!

In this way, Obadiah is also reluctant to do something to his cash cow! Smartphones are an epoch-making product.

"Hey Jake, what did Dr. Cornell say?"

On the street in front of the hospital, a delicate and capable woman with freckles on her face and wearing a black suit opened the car window and asked. "Oh, Miss Potts! Dr. Cornell said that I'm fine, the work pressure is too much, and he also suggested a very unreliable method, asking me to participate in more pool parties."

"By the way, why is Miss Potts here?" Jake Zhou approached the car, sighed lightly, and said.

"Tony, let me pick you up. I'll give you a day off today, and let me take you for a drive." Potts smiled and said.

"Why are you on holiday? Today is not Sunday, Pepper now drive the car back to the company, this is the director's order!" Jake Zhou got into the car and said seriously.

"Well, Jake, Tony said that the company's benefits have been very good recently, and all the employees of the company will be rewarded with vacation!" Potts shrugged and smiled.

"What? How could Tony do such a goddamn thing! Is my smartphone project team on vacation too?" Jake Zhou gritted his teeth, his tone was a little angry.

"Yes, it's all on vacation! Jake, you really should take a break. You know that we work to enjoy life better, not to be slaves to life. I have been in the company for five years, and you haven't taken a single day off or taken a vacation by yourself. Is there any place you want to go?" Potts smiled and asked.

"Yes, the place I want to go is Stark Industrial Building, I want to dedicate my life to Stark Industries, call Tony, cancel the vacation of my project team, work overtime today, I will pay them a five times bonus!" Jake Zhou nodded and said very solemnly.

"Jake! But your project team has not taken a vacation this half a year! The chief engineer, Professor Ace, hasn't been home for half a year! Although you have treated him well, he has secretly submitted three resignation applications! It's really time to take the pressure off them!" Potts frowned and said.

"These bastards! You haven't paid off your mortgage and car loan, and you're living in the moment every day, and you still want to take a vacation! You don't have any dreams at all! What a loser!" Jake Zhou took a deep breath and said indignantly.

"Ahem, Jake, I haven't paid off my mortgage and car loan! After all, you are the only one in the whole company who bought a house and a car in full." Potts stepped on the accelerator hard, and said with some embarrassment. "Miss Potts, you are different from them. You are Tony's Pepper. He likes you very much and cannot do without you! The entire company will belong to you in the future." Jake Zhou shook his head and said with a smile.
