Chapter 545

"Professor Curt Connors' project continues to be developed, and Felicia Hardy serves as my assistant, responsible for liaising with the project and conveying my instructions."

"Give them more authority, and make sure to speak to the shareholders and executives beforehand. If they have any objections, tell them to keep quiet!"

After Su Quan finished speaking, Norman Osborn solemnly assured him, "I will handle it well, there will absolutely be no problem!"

Su Quan nodded and stood up, saying to Felicia Hardy, "Let's go, take me back."

"Yes."

Felicia Hardy responded and jogged over to start the car. After Norman Osborn and the others escorted Su Quan over, she opened the back door for Su Quan first. After Su Quan got in, she got in herself and drove out of the Osborn Manor.

Watching the car disappear from sight, Norman Osborn took a deep breath and excitedly asked his son about Su Quan's deeds and the wonders of the Void.

As for the mouthless Ade, he had become completely obedient, silently following behind Norman Osborn, hoping to have a chance to perform well in the future and make amends by getting his mouth back.

Actually, he should be grateful; compared to another man who suddenly lost his mouth, his fate was already quite fortunate.

Not only is he not dead, but he also won't become a meme to be laughed at.

When Su Quan and Felicia Hardy returned to the hotel, Silk and Spider-Girl were already back.

After giving them a brief introduction, Su Quan assigned his newly appointed assistant his first task.

"Investigate a person named Thena Kro, a Doctor of Science from Empire State University, a hematology specialist, who may work at Horizon Labs."

"I'll go right away."

Felicia Hardy acted swiftly and decisively, making a note of everything before leaving to investigate.

Besides her public identities as a science doctor and hematologist, Martina Bancroft, whom Su Quan is looking for, will have a special identity in the future.

Morbius's girlfriend.

And, female vampires.

As for why not Morbius? Of course, it's because Martina Bancroft is easier to find.

Cough cough—

Well, it's mainly because she's pretty!

Don't accuse Su Quan double standards. Either of them could achieve their goal, but if one is a beautiful and sexy woman and the other is a sickly, long-haired cripple who looks like he might die at any moment, who would you choose?

I believe most people would choose the former, right? After all, regardless of whether there are ulterior motives, at the very least, communicating with a beautiful woman is pleasing to the eye and puts you in a good mood, isn't it?

"You two shouldn't be idle either. Go to San Francisco tomorrow and find a female lawyer named Annie Weying. She works at a law firm funded by an organization called the Life Foundation."

"I forgot the name of the law firm. Your main focus should be investigating whether she has a boyfriend."

"And—this Life Foundation!"

Silk and the Spider-Girl nodded and noted the situation down.

The long night passed by in a blur.

The next day, in the morning.

When Su Quan woke up, Silk and Spider-Girl had already set off for San Francisco. Before they left, Felicia Hardy had already arrived.

When Su Quan finished washing up, Felicia Hardy had already prepared a variety of sumptuous breakfasts and brewed a rich and refreshing cup of coffee.

Watching the future Black Cat bustling around serving him, Su Quan felt that this was one of the meanings of his continuous growth and strength.

Enjoy what others cannot!

"Sit down and eat with us," Su Quan said with a smile.

Felicia Hardy smiled sweetly, said thank you, and sat down next to Su Quan.

He ate and talked at the same time.

"I have found some information about Martina Bancroft. She officially joined Horizon Labs two weeks ago and joined Dr. Michael Morbius's blood research team."

"Michael Morbius is a world-renowned biochemist who won the Nobel Prize for developing artificial blood, but he refused it."

"He has suffered from a rare blood disease since childhood, and his team's research project is to overcome this disease and find a cure."

"I have obtained Martina Bancroft's contact information. If you wish to see her, I can arrange for her to meet you on behalf of Osborn Industries."

"Let's make dinner plans, you book a restaurant."

"Yes."

Osborn Tower.

Interspecies Genetic Project laboratory.

Professor Curt Connors looked at the young man accompanied by Felicia Hardy with some nervousness.

He already knew about Norman Osborn's recovery, and he was also notified that the Interspecies Genetic Project he was in charge of would henceforth be fully managed by Felicia Hardy.

He was worried that the experiment would be affected, so he prepared relevant documents and explanations well in advance. However, the one who really made the decision was not Felicia Hardy, but the young man in front of him who was flipping through the documents.

This young man, named Su Quan, did not hold a position at Osborn Industries, but according to Felicia Hardy, he was the real person in charge and would become her future financial backer!

"Smack!"

Su Quan gently closed the folder, looked up at the anxious Professor Curt Connors, and said with a smile, "Unless the core problem of the Decay Rate Algorithm is solved, your experiment will never have a chance of success."

Professor Curt Connors, with a composed expression, was able to discern the core of the problem from the 'written' documents he provided; he was a knowledgeable expert.

"That's absolutely right!"

"Give me some time, and I'm sure I can overcome this problem."

Su Quan smiled and said, "Professor Curt Connors, don't worry, I won't cancel your research project. On the contrary, I will increase my support for you."

"Really?" Professor Curt Connors' eyes widened in disbelief.

Felicia Hardy frowned and reminded him, "Professor Connors, are you questioning my boss?"

Professor Curt Connors hurriedly said, "No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Good grief, a triple denial.

"It was just an accident—yes, just an accident!" Professor Curt Connors looked at Su Quan excitedly. "Thank you so much for your trust and support. I can guarantee that the experiment will be a success!"

Professor Curt Connors breathed a sigh of relief; his anxious heart was finally at ease.

Immediately following was boundless joy and excitement.

The experimental project was saved, and unexpectedly, it received strong support. The anxiety and unease I had been feeling for a while were finally relieved, and I could continue my research with peace of mind.

However, he dared not be completely at ease, since he did not know anything about the new investor or the new boss. What if he changed his mind later?

We still have to serve them well.

"Mr. Su Quan, do you—do you have any requirements for the experiment or anything else?" Professor Curt Connors asked tentatively.

Su Quan shook his head. "We'll let you know if there are any requests."

"Felicia, go with Professor Connors to learn about the lab's situation and see where more funding is needed."

"Yes."

Felicia Hardy gestured to Professor Curt Connors and left the office.

Su Quan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, making a thumping sound.

"Martina Bancroft and Annie Weying are the female leads of Morbius and Venom, respectively. The plots of these two movies should not have started yet, so we can get to know them in advance without rushing to get involved."

"Morbius, this 'vampire,' was born from an experiment, Venom came from outer space. When the time comes, the story will naturally begin."

"So our focus should still be on the Amazing Spider-Man Peter Parker, and Gwen Stacy..."

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock suddenly sounded, and a few seconds later, the door was gently pushed open.

"Professor Connors —wait, it's you!" Gwen Stacy looked at Su Quan with surprise.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Su Quan didn't expect that it would be Gwen Stacy who came in, but she was interning at Osborn Industries as Professor Curt Connors' intern, so it wasn't surprising that she was here.

"It's nice to see you again, Gwen Stacy," Su Quan greeted her with a smile.

Gwen Stacy, with her hair in a ponytail, wearing a white lab coat and knee-high boots, smiled and said, "I'm Professor Curt Connors' intern. And you? What are you doing in Professor Connors' office?"

"Professor Connors' experimental project will be fully managed by Felicia Hardy from now on, and she is my assistant. Guess why I'm here?" Su Quan said with a smile.

Gwen Stacy exclaimed in surprise, "So you're a senior executive at the company!"

Executive?

Su Quan didn't explain, but instead asked teasingly, "If I said I chose to take charge of Professor Connors' project because of you, would you go on a date with me?"

"I do not accept any form of workplace shady dealings," Gwen Stacy said with a smile.

"I see..."

Su Quan smiled and raised his wrist. The Void Battle Bead instantly projected a virtual dialing page. He glanced at the surprised Gwen Stacy and dialed a series of numbers.

"This—this is my phone number?" Gwen Stacy was thinking when her cell phone rang.

When I took it out, it showed Su Quan's name.
