A projection flickered to life in the conference room.
"No, no, no. If you want to use my money, you need my approval first."
Tony's figure appeared in the 3D projection.
It was as if he were actually there in person.
And he'd casually rebutted Captain America.
Captain America, without batting an eye, retorted, "Then have I earned your approval, Tony?"
Hearing this, Tony thought for a moment, pouted, and replied, "Maybe... I guess."
That single "I guess."
Made Captain America's expression instantly turn serious.
But Tony shrugged indifferently and gestured to the seats, saying, "Alright, I didn't come here to exchange sweet nothings with you all."
"Let's get down to business."
"According to Friday's analysis, due to Ms. Wanda's heroic performance, public perception of the Avengers online has improved by 26%."
"And support for Wanda surged from 31% to 66%, more than doubling."
"So, what I'm trying to say is."
"If you don't want the Avengers' reputation to be tarnished online and in reality, then do more talking less, and don't cause destruction to the city, understand?"
"Learn from Ms. Wanda, strike only at the target, and use your brains more."
Perhaps this was just Tony's personality.
He sounded a bit arrogant when he said these things.
This made Captain America very unhappy.
Captain America crossed his arms and looked at Tony, asking, "Are you saying that when we face enemies, we should prioritize property safety over the safety of Avengers members?"
"And that we don't use our brains when we fight?"
Tony spread his hands, not even looking at Captain America, and said, "I never said anyone who doesn't use their brain should just roll up their sleeves and charge in."
"Nor did I say anything about whether he was holding a circular shield."
"I said to use your brains more, to think about how to minimize losses before acting."
"As for safety, I believe you don't need me to tell you that you'll protect yourselves."
Captain America was visibly annoyed.
He stepped forward, intending to confront Tony.
"Tony!"
But Tony glanced at him, scanned him up and down, and then pointed at Captain America, saying, "That's why I don't want to waste another word on someone like you who only knows how to use their fists!"
"Tony Stark!" Captain America raised his chin and retorted, "Do you think we're despised by the public without your involvement?!"
"It was your arrogance and unilateral actions that caused the Sokovia incident!"
Seeing the two of them start arguing.
The other members exchanged glances, all thinking of intervening.
Because it had already devolved into an argument about who was right and who was wrong.
And a team cannot have individual right or wrong.
They are either all right, all wrong, all successful, or all failures.
"Yes, you're right."
But Tony immediately nodded at Captain America and replied, "Then you and your members should show us how well you can perform."
"Let's see if, under the leadership of you, a WWII star, people can trust you again."
After speaking.
Tony glanced at everyone.
Then he directly shut off the 3D projection and left.
Following that, a silence fell over the conference room.
"Bang!"
After a long pause.
Captain America slammed his fist onto the seat.
"Dismissed. Go back and rest. Await further orders."
Unlike the argument in the meeting hall.
Wanda, after returning to her room, began searching for information about Su Yi online.
But unfortunately.
Su Yi's name was only popular within elite circles.
There was basically no news about him on the internet or among ordinary people.
So, Wanda's search only yielded Su Yi's reputation and the like.
Such as: [Top Psychologist], [Hottest Doctor Ranked First], [Unknown Big Shot], and so on.
However, for Wanda, this was enough.
She read through all the information related to Su Yi.
Only then did she lie down on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Yes, her mind was still on Su Yi.
After all, before meeting Su Yi, almost everything in her life had been bad.
Her parents were killed by bombs developed and manufactured by Stark Industries...
Her brother died saving people during the Ultron incident...
Her homeland, Sokovia, was completely destroyed by Ultron...
But after meeting Su Yi.
Bubble tea... respect... laughter... a passionate kiss... love...
These were things Wanda had never experienced before.
Her mind was now filled with Su Yi. She saw him when her eyes were open, and when they were closed. She couldn't forget him!
So, for Wanda today.
It was destined to be a sleepless, yet beautiful, night.
Ps: A new book is hard to start!!! I beg all you handsome guys to give some flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, and comments for support. Thank you, even if it's just a '1' in the comment section!
Late at night.
Driving the Ferrari into the building's underground parking.
After taking the private elevator home, Su Yi took off his shoes, casually grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the wine rack, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking as he went.
"Hoo~~~"
To be honest.
While drinking.
Su Yi had also been replaying the passion from the dark corner.
It would be a lie to say he didn't enjoy that feeling.
During that short period.
If not for the rise and fall of their breathing, one might have forgotten the passage of time.
