New Day - New Company

At that moment, I was walking into my new company. It's been a month since my conversation with my father, and finally, all the legal processes are in order. Howard officially retired, and I took over the power.

Arriving at the company's central terminal, I took a USB drive from my pocket, inserted it into an adapter, and connected it to the terminal's serial port. In my earphones, I heard a friendly and slightly mechanical voice.

[Sir, I have complete control over the company's information connected to the servers. Unfortunately, the technology in these servers is very outdated. Most of the information remains on paper before being electronically recorded only days later.] JARVIS responded.

"Don't worry, the first thing I'll sell, which will propel our company to the top of the world, will be computers and servers. While they might not be the absolute best, they will still advance public technology for a few years. After that, I can introduce even better machines to be used within the company." I replied with a smile.

[And I imagine that these computers for the public and their software will have backdoors that can only be discovered and accessed by you.] JARVIS replied with a touch of amusement.

"Well, in the world, there's something called equivalent exchange. I give them comfort and knowledge, and they pay me with what they have achieved. And if it's not me, there will be others who will do it." I said with a mischievous smile.

In my past life, I worked in the technology field, and although I didn't deal directly with computer hardware and servers, I knew every component, how they worked, and their structures, even though I couldn't assemble one and didn't fully understand the logic of how they did what they did. But I became Tony Stark, and with this great brain, it wasn't difficult to turn my incomplete knowledge of future technology into complete knowledge.

Not only that, but I also made this knowledge far exceed what it was. So after 14 years of rapid advancement since I reincarnated, JARVIS was born early and exceeded the potential of what he would be in the next 20 years when he first appeared in the MCU.

"Start going through the plans step by step with Pepper, make sure everything went as planned, and inform me of the problems you can't solve," I ordered.

I'm currently 21 years old, and Pepper is the same age. When she graduated from high school, she didn't have much money. Her parents had had an accident years ago, and she was alone and on the brink of despair. That's when I, the knight in shining armor, appeared and offered a job to the helpless maiden. Something similar must have happened in the Canon, after all, Pepper has always been by Tony's side, no matter how unbearable he was. She had also said that he was all she had.

That's how I acquired my beautiful and lovely assistant and companion.

Speaking of the devil, my phone was receiving a call now. I tapped the phone, and without even saying hello, a beautiful voice started speaking rapidly.

["Tony, why did I wake up today, and JARVIS is telling me that you've appointed me as the new CEO of the company?!"] Pepper asked anxiously, concerned, and excited.

"First of all, hello, love! And to answer your question, you know how I am, I have no desire to run the company, and you're the person I trust most in the world, so 1+1=2," I replied with a smile.

["I-I don't even know what to say, this..."] I didn't see her, but I could feel her happiness and affection when she heard my words.

"Just say yes," I teased.

We continued talking a little more, and I hung up.

Arriving at the parking lot, I jumped into my car and headed home. When I got home, I saw Pepper running to me and jumping into my arms, kissing me.

After kissing for a while, I picked her up like a princess and carried her inside the house, but when we reached the door, she stopped me.

"Not now, Tony, not now! I'm still sore from last night, and besides, I have a lot to do at the company. We lost the weapons sector, but we still have a huge company, and the employees are worried about the future. If nothing is done, the advantage of having a complete company that can quickly sell its inventions and meet its needs will be lost," Pepper, with her hand on my chest, quickly stopped me.

"Ugh!" I groaned in frustration. Damn, I got excited for nothing.

Seeing me like this, Pepper smiled.

"When you told me I wouldn't be your only woman, I only accepted because I was desperate and my mind wasn't right, but now I can't wait to have reinforcements against you." she said jokingly, but not taking seriously what she said, despite still being a little afraid of it happening.

"Don't worry, love, even if I have more women, nothing will change, and you know that." I gave her a little kiss on the lips and smiled. She knows how I am after living with me for the past few years, and she knows she can trust me.

She still doesn't quite believe that I'm going to have a harem because, despite saying that, I never accepted the advances of any other woman besides her, no matter how beautiful or friendly they were. And that made her wonder why, but I just said that my heart didn't resonate with theirs like it did with hers... and that always brought a smile to her face.

Speaking of which, I realized that my sexual performance in this life is incredible; maybe this is the cheat I got... and if it is, I can only cry bitterly.

After I saw Pepper get in the car and drive away, I went down the stairs of my house, which was the same as in the movies, and reached my workspace, which was much larger than in the Canon.

Walking up to a wall, it started to open automatically under JARVIS's control. I walked to a refrigerator inside the secret room, opened it, and took out a blue bag.

"Good job bringing the serum; who would have thought today would be the accident? Are the old man and the old lady okay?" I asked, but I wasn't very worried. Since I knew it was going to happen, I had been protecting them for a long time.
