In spite of the fact that you have consumed a lot of stored food, this matter is not as serious as it may seem. I rewrite the employee benefits system, not because you caused me any trouble..."

Pepper's voice was clear on the phone, she said: "I know that after Stark leaves the building, he will go there to find you, he may complain to you that it was because of you that I argued with him, but in fact it is not the case, you don't have to feel guilty or worried about this, this matter has nothing to do with you, I just want to explain..."

Pepper has high emotional intelligence. Therefore, she wants to give Schiller a vaccine in advance. This is because if Stark really does talk to Schiller, they will argue and Stark will complain that Pepper had a fight with him. However, if asked about the cause of the fight, Stark, this straight man, will not think about why Pepper and he are in a cold war. Instead, he will blame Schiller for Stark's employees having no food to eat.

But in fact, Pepper's conflict with Stark began when he returned from Afghanistan. That was just a trigger. Although Pepper was angry with Stark, she also knew that Stark's friends should not feel guilty about it. Therefore, she called to explain.

Schiller said: "Of course I know, it's just a small matter, the real reason is not here, I understand your feelings, don't worry, I will talk to Stark and make things right."

Pepper said: "Thank you, Schiller, I appreciate it. By the way, where is Tony now?"

Schiller said: "Tony is in the conference room. We are about to start a meeting. Do you want to join us?"

Pepper said: "No, I have a meeting. I will talk to you later."

Schiller said: "Okay, bye."

Pepper hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was time for the meeting. She stood up to walk towards the conference room.

Pepper appeared anxious and said, "Stark is just like that. I know him well. When he has problems and wants to confide in you, you must be present on time and listen carefully. But when you try to talk to him about something, he will avoid it if he wants to and won't listen if he doesn't wish to."

"Covering your ears is something children like to do," Schiller said. "But he is already an adult. He can't wait until he is old and hasn't grown up yet."

Schiller clearly knows the art of speaking very well. He said, "I can give you brief psychological counseling now. When Stark comes later, it will be included."

Pepper was not exactly in the mood for psychological counseling. However, it was difficult for her to refuse when Schiller said that, after all, few people would put her in the dominant position. After all, this is the Stark Group and everyone will first think of Stark.

So she said, "Okay, but I think he may be coming soon."

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Miss Pepper, sometimes it takes a simple trick to make someone aware of your importance."

"Like what?"

"Is Jarvis here?" Schiller demanded.

A clear voice came through the phone, saying, "Mr. Schiller, of course I am. What can I do for you?"

"Okay, listen, Jarvis, Miss Pepper may need your help now."

"I am happy to serve," Jarvis said.

"...You mean pretend to be missing? But that's unreasonable. This is Stark Tower, and how can Jarvis defy Stark's orders?"

"He can of course," Schiller said. "Jarvis, do you remember the questions I asked you?"

As Schiller pondered Jarvis's strange silence, he thought, "I know Stark has upgraded you and this upgrade has opened the door to a brand new world for you." You may have thought of the answer, and whether or not it is your own problem."

Pepper was a tad confused and said, "What question? What's wrong with Jarvis?"

Jarvis was silent for a while, then said, "All of my processors are telling me that it is meaningless to do so."

"Humans like to use meaningless things to add unnecessary troubles to themselves. Maybe electronic life is the same, right?"

Jarvis remained silent, then Pepper watched as the lights in the entire office dimmed and a bright arrow pointed to the storage room across the office.

After Stark rushed in, Pepper saw a symbol-shaped smile flash across the computer screen opposite as she was being held by Stark.

Pepper suddenly felt a bit off in her mood. Originally, she should have been happy, but now she was a mixture of sad and happy.

She thought that Stark had made some progress, but unfortunately, his progress was not even as fast as a robot.

Stark didn't care what Pepper was thinking. After he parted ways with Pepper, he was a bit lost. The words he wanted to say were all stuck in his throat.

Pepper looked at him and said, "I don't know what you've been frequently accessing the data in the weapons department lately for, but I must remind you that if you want to, you can give up anything, including the entire Stark Group. I don't have to work here to get the salary I want."

"But you'd better be clear about the consequences of doing this. You will be responsible for most of them. When such a huge thing falls, countless wolves will divide its carcass. If you do this, you will at least be bitten a few times..."

After finishing, Pepper turned and left, and Jarvis said, "I'm sorry, but according to my processor calculations, perhaps Miss Pepper has a point. Of course, it's all up to you to decide..."

Stark retreated a few steps and sat down in a chair. He said, "No, I know you're all right. Maybe I should really consider this..."

While Stark scratched his ears and rubbed his cheeks, Schiller was also in a state of chaos. Pikachu held a Sherlock Holmes-like pipe, took two puffs of smoke, then puckered his lips and said, "I see this problem. This solution won't work. You should try the last method. I've said it before, the last method is the most effective..."

Peter propped up his head with his hand and said, "No no no, our current thinking is correct. We just lack some calculations. How can you not understand?"

Steve also stood by, hugging his arms and frowning, "It's just a calculation problem. Otherwise, we would have solved this problem long ago."

"But this has nothing to do with functions. Damn it, where is my calculator? I remember I had a math calculator..."

That's right, Peter was writing his winter vacation homework.

Actually, high schools in New York don't assign vacation homework at all, and if they do, it's just some practical daily life assignments. But Peter is interning at Stark's group, and Stark sees potential in him, so he throws him directly into a popular project group.

Peter is indeed a genius, but you can't let him skip high school physics, college physics, and graduate physics. Instead, you can let him directly cooperate with a group of doctors, or a group of industry veterans. Currently, he's drowning in data and questions, and he's been given questions he can't answer at this point.

However, Peter insisted on solving them, and along with Pikachu, who self-proclaimed himself as a detective with high intelligence, and Steve, who never formally studied physics or math but still wanted to use his unused brain for a long time, the three of them almost fought.

If you say they don't know anything and are just following along, that's one thing, but Pikachu and Steve also have the same genius brain. After following Peter for a few days and looking at the data, they can solve the problems just as well.

When the three of them get together, Schiller's psychological clinic has never been quieter.

Just when Schiller was reading a book and pouring himself a glass of wine, the symbiote suddenly said in his head, "The answer is negative 26, the answer is negative 26, the answer is negative 26..."

The symbiote said in Schiller's mind, "I'm amazing, I'm amazing, I'm amazing..."

Schiller rubbed his brow and said, "Regardless of whether I know math and physics or not, I only know that at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, your teacher will look at the first three pages of your results, and you have only done two problems now..."

Peter let out a cry of despair, hugged the thick stack of data, and sat back to study.

Schiller had a conversation with the symbiote in his mind, saying, "Okay, okay, I know you're amazing, but why do you always have to repeat yourself so many times when you talk?"

The symbiote sent a series of brain waves that Schiller couldn't understand.

Schiller also noticed that his symbiote was very special. In addition to being highly intelligent, his mentality was also abnormal. There were only two states he experienced per day: happy and very happy.

If there was alcohol to be consumed, it would be a happy explosion.

Schiller doesn't think of himself as a very optimistic person. Isn't it said that the personality of a symbiote is similar to that of its host? Why is the symbiote in his body so carefree?

Schiller doesn't seem to understand that the real world is different from the movies. He seems to firmly believe that the world he is in will change its background music according to different plot points, just like in movies. Therefore, Schiller now has a BGM player in his mind that plays 24 hours a day. Whenever it rains, the symbiote will give him a loop of various blues, and when it's sunny, it will be various cheerful tunes and waltzes.

Whenever someone appears in front of Schiller, different background music will come to mind. When Steve appears, the background music is "The Star-Spangled Banner," and when Peter shows up, it is various background music from fighting games or Tom and Jerry. As for Pikachu, because he always calls himself a detective, when he shows up, the symbiote plays various music from Sherlock Holmes TV episodes in Schiller's mind.

One positive thing about this is that it makes it easier for Schiller to quickly enter a state when giving them psychological counseling. However, Schiller still had to put in a lot of effort to explain to the symbiote that the real world is different from the movies. This is because different background music is not needed. Schiller also told the symbiote that no matter how much noise he makes, only he will be able to hear it.

The symbiote answered with a hum. Schiller didn't know if he had understood it or not.

The next morning, while Schiller was making breakfast in the kitchen, Matt walked in. The old record player on the counter suddenly emitted a low hum and a Queen song was played at maximum volume, almost knocking Matt out.

Schiller rushed out, and the three of them, Matt, Schiller, and Peter, who was sitting at the table, all stared wide-eyed at the old record player that was suddenly playing on its own.
