I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor.

Chapter 154 Raymond is suspended!
Almost at the same time as the president of Empire State University met with Gwen Stacy, Tony Stark also arrived at New York's JFK International Airport on his Gulfstream G650 private business jet.

Raymond Xu and Pepper Potts stood behind the ramp car, not talking.

Because of a series of issues recently exposed by New York City tabloids, Little Pepper once asked Raymond Xu himself, but did not get any effective results - so the woman preconceivedly thought that the professor could not control her crotch, so she As for putting the entire Stark Industries into such an embarrassing situation.

She threw the newspaper in front of Raymond: "Mr. Xu, look! How are the newspapers in New York City accusing us now?!"

Raymond still remembers that behind the woman was the large TV screen in the president's office, and the famous talk show mocking the incident was playing on the TV:
"Sell it, sell it, sell it! Abandon ship!" the almost bald talk show host shouted with a hammer. "This is Stark Industries' Hindenburg moment!"

"They fully thought that bringing in a young talent could save Stark Industries from its crisis situation after Obadiah Stane was imprisoned, but they didn't expect that Mr. President himself was involved in worldly affairs!"

After a burst of loud canned laughter, the bald host continued:

"Stark Industries' stock has fallen by nearly [-]%. Obviously, the incompetent Pepper Potts is unable to save this crisis that has been dragged into the abyss by another rotating CEO. Tony Stark's selection strategy ultimately It turned out to be nothing more than a joke!”

Little Pepper glanced at the host's complaints on the TV with some helplessness, and then shouted "mute" to have the voice control system block the TV's sound channel.

She stared at Raymond for a long time, and finally said: "If this is the mess you caused, I think you'd better find a way to explain it to Mr. Tony Stark!"

So Tony Stark immediately flew back to New York and met with his two CEOs specifically at this critical moment.

Stark, who was dragging his body, was now so haggard that it was visible to the naked eye. However, he hired a professional makeup artist to maintain his dignity——

The problem of palladium still needs to be solved in the end, and Raymond's "stellarator" plan is just a delay.

Stark walked out of the cabin and looked at his two presidents with helpless eyes - he already knew on the plane that Pepper Potts showed his cards to Raymond and asked him to clear up his responsibilities, but he knew that Raymond Xu, who was pushing Gwen Stacy into a pit of fire, firmly refused.

Xu even said: "I cannot tolerate anyone slandering and slandering my students, including you, Pepper Potts!"

The two had such a bad fight that Tony Stark, the chairman of the board of directors, a playboy who only liked technological research and development, had to take responsibility and came to New York to put out the fire for the two.

"Sir." Raymond took a step forward first and bowed his head in greeting to Stark. "I'm sorry for causing such a big mess before the Stark Expo."

"Alas..." Tony Stark sighed and patted Raymond on the shoulder: "We will talk about this later."

Then Stark walked towards Pepper Potts, who was looking at the other side with his arms folded. The woman was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Raymond Xu's irresponsible behavior——

From the company's perspective, she asked Raymond Xu to make a choice that was in line with business interests, but she didn't expect that the other party was actually considering his own personal affairs and favors!
"Dear..." Stark looked at Pepper and smiled, "I can escape from Afghanistan, and we can both expose Obadiah Stane's conspiracy, so what's the problem?"

"I hate resubmitting my resume!" Pepper naturally had a completely different arrogant attitude in front of Tony.

"I also hate to ask you both to resubmit your resume!" Stark laughed, "Let's find a suitable place to talk about this matter first, Xu, I didn't expect that one day a boring guy like you would be able to talk to me. Same, getting the reputation of 'Playboy'!"

Stark is a naturally optimistic character. Since he rarely feels pressure, he can joke around anywhere——

In his opinion, this matter is not a big deal. At most, it allows Raymond to avoid the limelight!

----split line----

"Okay." Stark turned around and watched Pepper Potts walk out of the office door with his coaxing and persuasion, before finally taking a breath and talking to Raymond Xu behind him:

"You and that female student, are you serious?"

Raymond sighed: "Yes, we are together."

Stark was not surprised. He turned around and continued to ask: "Are you just kidding?"

"It's not a joke." Raymond replied calmly, "Tony, you have Pepper, you can understand my emotions."

Stark was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Raymond to give such an answer.Tony took the woman named Gwen Stacy seriously again - he took out Gwen's information from the folder and read it carefully.After a long time, Stark raised his head: "She...is quite ordinary? Why?"

Raymond looked into Tony Stark's beautiful eyes. This guy still needs to go through a lot of things to understand what he is carrying.He tried to put it simply:

"Most people may just need companionship, and they just need someone to help relieve loneliness... But Gwen is different from me. Her meaning goes beyond companionship. I can probably express my attitude by saying this."

"I understand." Stark spread his hands, "You mean, you will never betray this student...so what are you going to do?"

"Sir." Raymond said in a sad tone, "Please suspend me and recover the losses for Stark Industries first. Maybe we can wait until the storm is over."

Is the love affair between teachers and students serious in the United States? It's serious, but not serious.If you have a backend, then the Internet can naturally forget your evil deeds.The so-called fatal is just fatal to ordinary university professors - but Raymond is no longer an ordinary university professor.

Tony Stark couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Raymond's answer. He didn't expect that the other person would give up the position of CEO of Stark Industries that he had finally obtained for one of his students. The playboy, who was not respected by anyone, was in awe.

Stark stood up, nodded to Raymond, and even shrugged in passing - to show that the playboy was actually not interested in this kind of scandal: "Well, as you wish, Stark The Industrial Directorate now suspends you.”

As he said that, Stark walked out from behind the desk, walked around in front of Raymond Xu who was sitting on the sofa, stretched out his arm and put it on Raymond Xu's left shoulder and right shoulder first - —

"Now I revoke your canonization!"

When he finished speaking and put his arms away, he suddenly thought for a moment: "No, there seems to be no way to revoke the canonization, right?"

Raymond couldn't help but cover his face every time he saw Stark's careless, cynical and non-serious behavior.However, he just shook his head and said:

"It's not suitable for me to appear in public now. I just want to communicate privately... The Pentagon wants to use the 'Starlink' project as their communication satellite, so I just want to communicate privately... Also, I haven't heard anything about S.H.I.E.L.D. Aftermath.”

"You don't need to tell me these things." Stark waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he didn't want to hear this: "These have nothing to do with me. I only need you to do two things now -"

Stark clapped his hands, trying to attract Raymond's attention:

"First, the Stark Expo is about to open. You have to make all the preparations." This is the first Stark Expo we have held since 1974. "

This is a cliché. Stark is now "a man who is about to die, and his words are also good". He is now eager to leave something in this world like his father - a Stark Expo is the most memorable one. .

"And!" Stark continued to emphasize: "My MK4 suit will be unveiled at the Stark Expo, along with your 'Starlink' project and the Ark reactor... This must be An epoch-making expo, so——"

Stark drawled a long note, indicating that what he was about to say was very important:
"You have to give me a handsome appearance, do you understand?"

——I’m sorry that you have been stressing about this for a long time!
Raymond almost covered his face again, but he pretended to listen to Stark's words attentively, and even imitated Jarvis's tone:

"I understand, sir, everything will go as you wish!"

----split line----

Kingpin was a little anxious and put aside the report that another group of men were attacked by Spider-Gwen, and turned on the TV in the office - the financial news was broadcasting the latest news that shocked New York:
"Stark Industries CEO Raymond Xu has been suspended by Chairman Anthony Stark himself. Stark Industries has always attached great importance to social responsibility and ethics, although the reported Raymond Xu has not yet been verified. Xu’s relationship with Empire State University student Gwen Stacy, but in order to avoid controversy, Raymond is no longer suitable to be the CEO of Stark Industries..."

At the same moment when Jin turned off the TV, the phone rang - Fatty waited for more than ten seconds before picking up the phone. As expected, it was Sitwell's urgent voice:
"As expected, they suspended Raymond Xu! Fisk, I kind of admire you now."

"This is just the first step we expected." Compared to the excited Sitwell, Kingpin seemed unconcerned. "The next step is when we take action. Have you contacted the media and international speculators?"

"As you said, we have been contacted."

Kingpin laughed contemptuously: "Then let's carry out our plan!"
