The obedient Black Widow

In that spacious, brightly lit setting, Black Widow Natasha and Tony Stark successfully persuaded the directors of Stark Industries to swiftly close the weapons design and manufacturing departments without hesitation and go all out to accelerate their plans and expansion in hydrogen energy and new energy.

Black Widow's smart secretary outfit made her bearing seem even more extraordinary, perfectly outlining her beautifully curved, firm, powerful hips.

The black stockings she wore below were like a dreamy, mysterious veil. Before these potbellied directors, male and female alike, she was like a dazzling pearl, radiating a brilliance impossible to ignore.

Before long, Black Widow Natasha gracefully gave a gentle wave, indicating that the directors could leave.

Before they left, she told them with a resolute gaze and a calm voice, "You needn't worry too much about running the company. Just enjoy your lives, manage your wealth sensibly, and make sure you don't do anything illegal or disruptive."

The directors all nodded repeatedly.

Smiling, Tony said softly to Natasha, "Miss Romanoff, we've successfully completed the task Li Qi gave us. Do you happen to know if there's anything else we need to do?"

Black Widow Natasha had received no further instructions from Li Qi either. She gently shook her head and said to Tony, her gaze clear and focused, "In that case, let's go report to Li Qi."

And so, the two left the conference room side by side.

Li Qi did not actually care very much about what the directors truly thought. His central concern had always been whether the final decisions could be effectively put into practice.

For that very reason, he had confidently left Tony and Natasha to handle the board meeting while he leisurely wandered around several floors of the company.

He gently pushed open the door to the secretarial office and strolled around inside. This floor was dedicated to the secretarial department. Pepper Potts was busy working on this floor.

By now, through the company's various channels, Pepper Potts had accurately delivered the administrative orders announcing Tony Stark's departure and Li Qi's appointment as chairman, president, and executive president to the terminal devices of everyone at Stark Industries.

Almost every current employee already knew that the company had changed leadership and was about to undergo major reforms.

At that moment, Li Qi was sitting at ease on the sofa in the headquarters' chief secretarial office. Before him, a group of neatly dressed, carefully groomed female secretaries respectfully submitted to the newly appointed president's inspection.

Li Qi slowly swept his gaze over these attractive female secretaries in their professional outfits, unable to help reflecting inwardly.

A scene he had once fantasized about had actually become reality. As a transmigrator, he had indeed experienced a uniquely wondrous feeling.

He calmly rose from the sofa and made an unhurried circuit among the female secretaries.

After observing them, he found that they were all ordinary employees, with no one possessing special abilities or a special background.

After they made a few more rounds of the floor, they happened to run into Black Widow and Tony, who had come to report the results.

After the three met and briefly exchanged a few words, Black Widow and Tony took their places beside Li Qi without being prompted and quietly awaited his instructions.

Li Qi frowned slightly and thought for a moment. There were indeed several important matters that urgently needed attention.

First was the research, development, and manufacture of the Iron Man Armor, which undoubtedly concerned his core competitive strength in the future;

Second was the matter of his plans for Stark Industries' development. At present, there was a company called Hammer Industries that had steadfastly devoted itself to weapons manufacturing and design, aiming to catch up with and surpass Stark Industries.

Although Hammer Industries was not yet particularly large,

After pondering for a moment, he instructed Tony Stark with a serious expression.

"There are two things I need you to get started on right away. First, there's a company called Hammer Industries that also manufactures weapons. Go try to negotiate a partnership with them immediately, and do your best to secure a win-win outcome. If their president isn't very cooperative, give him a thorough analysis of the pros and cons from a professional business perspective.

"The other thing: didn't your father have a partner who was fired from the company for making a mistake? Try to find that man. He should have a son, too. Focus on assessing his son's character and abilities, and see whether he has the potential to become a partner or be cultivated. If you discover that he has any ill intentions, deal with him through legal channels. He absolutely must not be allowed to pose any threat to the company."

Tony nodded earnestly. After receiving his orders, he quickly turned to carry them out.

Just then, a slender female secretary in a black secretary uniform approached with light, graceful steps. She leaned forward slightly and whispered a few words into Pepper Potts's ear, and Pepper Potts gave a slight nod of acknowledgment.

Then Pepper Potts walked gracefully over to Li Qi and said politely and respectfully, "Chairman, the military's liaison representative heard that our company has a new chairman and president and would like to meet you. The representative is on the way here now."

Li Qi nodded gently. In fact, he had also wanted to meet this liaison. After thinking for a moment, however, he told Pepper Potts, "Arrange the meeting at the villa instead. Let's head back to the villa right away."

Pepper Potts nodded in understanding, then hurried with the female secretary in the black uniform toward the central secretarial office to call the liaison and discuss the arrangements.

Finally, Li Qi turned his gaze toward Black Widow Natasha and spoke to her earnestly.

"Come back to the villa with me, too. After that, I'll have some investigative assignments concerning the Ten Rings for you to carry out. Their every move could have a considerable impact on the company and even society as a whole. We must obtain more detailed information."

As a follower who had already been brought into his fold, Black Widow Natasha said, "Rest assured, I'll give it my all and complete the assignment."
