Laura's Beautiful Journey

New York, Crawford Building.

In the restaurant on the second floor, the employees were eating breakfast and chatting about various gossips.

"Bernie, have you heard? Zoe sneaked into the open-air party at Tony Stark's mansion last night! This playboy had a lot of fun last night! But they were sent out by a female secretary early in the morning ”

"Wow~ is it true? I'll go find Zoe later and ask if it's true that the tabloid said Stark is a 'fast man'."

"Okay okay~"

When Laura heard the above conversation, her ears stood up while eating toast, and she considered whether to follow over and eavesdrop.

"Hi, good morning. Are you a new employee? Which department do you work in? Do you want to have a cup of coffee together in the evening?"

Laura raised her head and glanced at the man she was chatting with. His name was 'Ben' on the badge, and she said casually: "Hello Ben, I'm a newcomer and I'm here to supervise you. If you don't understand anything later, Can I ask you?"

The young man named Ben looked at the little beauty in front of him and responded to him, feeling happy. "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me at any time. As an old employee who has been working for four years, I will kindly help the newcomers." !”

An employee sitting by the window suddenly said: "What's going on downstairs? The supervisors' cars have arrived. Don't these uncles and aunties rarely come here?"

"Who knows, maybe they are meeting to find ways to exploit us." Another female employee who walked to the window answered.

The elevator door opened, and Laura saw Ross and a meticulous lady in professional attire walking over.

"Laura, did you come here so early just to eat jam toast from the company restaurant?"

Ross said with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Crawford. My name is Roxanne and I am your personal assistant. Please come up with us. All the participants are here and the meeting is about to start."

The beauty in professional attire next to Rose adjusted her glasses as she spoke.

"Okay, let's go."

Laura wiped her hands and mouth with a tissue and got up and walked to the elevator with Ross and the others. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Ben. "Mr. Ben Damon, if I don't understand anything later, I will ask you!"

Huh, if you dare to chat with me, I'll keep you in high spirits.

At this time, Mr. Ben's brain was a little exhausted, and he murmured: "The man called her Laura, and the woman called her Crawford."

"Lara Croft?! Croft from the Croft Group?!"

"Oh! Shet!"

........................

After teasing an employee with the same name as Spider-Man's Uncle Ben, Laura persisted in a good mood even though the meeting was smelly and long.

The situation here is different from that in London. The management are all poached from various companies. They are not familiar with each other enough to form cliques, and some of them are even not very good at dealing with each other.

Laura was very happy. The momentum she pretended suppressed these people, and it would be much easier to do things in the future.

"Okay, you guys will summarize the project progress later and send it to my email. I want detailed information. That's it, let's break up the meeting."

After speaking, Laura, Ross and Roxanne stood up and walked out of the conference room, heading to Laura's office.

After closing the office door, Roxanne took out some key documents and signed them for Laura, then took out a small wooden box from her bag and handed it to Laura.

"This is the box your mother left for you. I'm going to file these documents. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be right next door."

After saying that, Roxanne packed up the files and walked out of the office.

"Well done, kid, you have indeed matured a lot."

Ross said looking at the girl sitting on the boss's chair.

Laura nodded, opened the wooden box, and found that there was still a key. Laura frowned as she looked at the key in her hand.

I got a key in London at that time, but after walking around the entire Croft Manor and trying every keyhole, I found that it didn't fit.

The mechanism on my father's monument in the manor was pressed down, and what I found when I entered it were all files and recordings, nothing that needed a key to open.

Putting the two keys on the table, Laura was in trouble, and Ross didn't think anything of it. He just said:

"You are Richard and Amelia's child, and you will solve the riddles they leave you."

Then he answered the phone and left the office.

Laura, who had no clue at all, could only put away the keys first, turn on the computer and go to the mailbox to start checking the project details documents sent by the supervisors.

The current main project of the New York branch of the Croft Group is energy, but after reviewing the project documents, Laura learned that it was the level of Tesla electric cars in the previous life.

He immediately gave this project a cross in his mind. It had no future. After a while, Stark shrunk his Ark reactor and installed it on his chest, so that he could hoist his own "high-performance battery" and hit it.

Clicking on the "Biotechnology" file and looking at it, Laura's eyes lit up when a name appeared.

"Maya Hansen" "Extremis Virus Project"

I carefully read the project document back and forth several times and found that the progress was okay, but now I have encountered difficulties in human clinical trials.

After all, our group is an outsider upstart in New York, with a little money but not very deep connections with various parties. Currently, there is no way to get the city government to give the green light to human experiments on the "Extremis Virus".

"Make an appointment for me with Dr. Maya Hansen from the Department of Biotechnology. Tell her that I attach great importance to her Desperate Project and want to discuss it with her in detail."

Laura picked up the landline and gave Roxanne an assignment.

"Okay, Miss Crawford."

Putting down the phone, Laura stretched her neck, which was a little stiff after looking at the computer for too long.

"Cuckoo~"

...

The breakfast in the restaurant downstairs that morning was not very good, so Laura just ate two pieces of toast. It was normal to be hungry now.

Glancing out the window, I saw the iconic Stark Tower that I have seen countless times in movies.

"I remember there was a hamburger restaurant downstairs in his building that was very good. Stark especially liked it?"

With her heart beating faster than action, Laura picked up her phone and was about to go out. When she thought there was no quick payment from Dad Ma here, she turned around and took the wallet she had not used for a long time in her previous life.

......

Stark Tower is not far away, and Laura rides her company's experimental balance bike to get there in 10 minutes.

"Boss, a double cheeseburger, English fries, and a large Mountain Dew soda!"

"Okay, come right now!"

Laura was waiting for the food, thinking about how to communicate with Dr. Maya in the afternoon, and soon the meal was delivered.

Because she was really hungry, Laura sat directly on the bar chair and took a big bite of the burger.

"Wonderful~ It smells so good~"

Praise loudly while eating.

"I didn't expect you to have quite good taste. I thought the British taste buds had been completely destroyed by the local dark cuisine."

Hearing the venomous remarks and the unfamiliar yet familiar frivolous voice, Laura knew who was coming without turning her head.

"British dark cuisine has killed me once, and I am no longer the person I used to be."

Laura swallowed the food in her mouth and replied.

"Then would it be my honor to have lunch with this beautiful lady who has been reborn?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone with a Nini face sat next to him and said to the boss: "As usual, this lady's account will also be shared."

As expected of a rich man and a young woman, he spoke in a familiar tone. . .

"So, can we find out this lady's name during a delicious lunch?"

Laura glanced at him helplessly, thinking that Chili Pepper should take care of this monster quickly and stop harassing people. Besides, she was not interested in men.

"Hello mood-breaker, my name is Lara Croft."

This burger is indeed great, the best burger Laura has ever eaten in her life, so it doesn’t hurt to name it.

"How can my arrival ruin the atmosphere? The air in the store is obviously cheerful."

Someone also took a big bite of hamburger, swallowed it with Coke and said

"My name is Tony, Tony Stark."
