Marvel's Speedster

This weekend, Ross was invited to lunch by another person who benefited from the Green Goblin incident: Gwen's father, local police chief George. During George's tenure, the area was attacked several times. It was difficult to keep his position. However, due to his extraordinary bravery in the arrest operation of the park, he was jointly commended by the chief and the Congress, so he miraculously secured the position of director. And took the opportunity to gain the respect of other factions in the police station. Afterwards, when he recalled the new type of body armor that provided him with great protection in the face of Green Goblin's counterattack, he couldn't help thanking his daughter for sending Ross's invention. For this reason, he would invite Ross to have lunch with his family no matter what, and express his gratitude.

At eleven o'clock at noon, Ross walked into the Times Hotel on Fifth Avenue, which was only a stone's throw away from the Empire State Building. The restaurant with a Mediterranean taste, although it is temporarily listed as a Michelin Yi star, but it is due to the short opening time and Michelin's preference for French style. For those who really know how to appreciate food, its taste is quite good, you can See the most classic chef's craftsmanship at an affordable price - choose here to see the usual habits of Stacey's family, low-key and pragmatic without extravagance.

Through the marble spiral staircase, Ross went straight to the door of the restaurant, and then met the George family and their friends in the bar lounge area.

"This is Ross, Gwen's friend, our genius boy; Ross, this is Will, my colleague and old friend", George introduced each other. If Ross has a better understanding of the police chief, he will know The fat Will in front of him is George's friend for many years. When Green Goblin was arrested last time, Will was the first to stand up to support George, but because he underestimated the body armor sent by Gwen, he was almost hit by a stray bullet in the woods. George rushed out just in time to push him away, only a few pains in his shoulder.

Knowing that he could not escape the catastrophe without Ross's new products, when Fatty Will heard that George was going to invite this inventor who has a close relationship with Stacey's family, he had the cheek to join in whatever he said, and thanked him in person. This young man who indirectly saved himself.

After the two thanked each other, Ross smiled and waved his hands again and again.

"Actually, it's nothing. We invest resources in research and development and production, and ultimately we want to provide better protection for everyone. If anyone here is more admirable, George and Will are worthy of everyone's praise. Without your bravery and fearlessness, Maybe the city is still in the shadow of the Green Goblin. So I suggest that everyone have a drink later and pay tribute to all the police officers who guard New York. Without their dedication, there will be no peace for the general public.”

Ross enthusiastically praised the two high-level police officers in front of him. If he only aimed at individuals, he would be flattering, but the suggestion of paying tribute to all the policemen met the wishes of George and Will. The Lord nodded again and again, and his perception of Ross couldn't help but become more pleasing to the eye.

After the greetings, the group walked to the main restaurant, where walnut wood tables, chairs and floors are the main color, creating an atmosphere similar to a business lunch gathering place. It is not known for luxury, but it is more comfortable and cozy. In such an environment, everyone took their seats one after another, and under the funny eyes of several parents, Gwen's mischievous brothers deliberately took him to the seat of his sister, so that the two of them were close together.

Gwen secretly glared at her brothers and sisters, but it didn't have any effect. She could only sit side by side with Ross with a blushing face. Her expression fell into Ross's eyes, and she couldn't help being a little funny.

Usually, this guy is very nervous, and her private personality is very different from her first impression to outsiders. She is a bit rough when she speaks and does things. In the laboratory, she has always been very casual towards Ross, and she is very generous in occasional physical contact. , I didn't expect to change back to the appearance of a lady in front of my family and elders today. The magnitude of the change is unimaginable.

In fact, this is not surprising. As far as Ross knows, Gwen’s father’s family is from Massachusetts in New England, and his mother’s family is European immigrants who migrated from the German-speaking Netherlands after the World War II. Both sides grew up in environments known for their conservative behavior. What kind of education this girl usually received at home, so this kind of personality contrast is also normal.

"Why isn't Mary Jane here?" Gwen turned sideways and whispered to Ross while his parents and the Wills were looking through the menu.

"She's gone to the dance training room. You know she owed too many lessons during this time, and she has to retake lessons." Breathing in the faint fragrance of her body, Ross also replied softly.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little subtle about each other. When Mary Jane was strictly guarding against Gwen before, she didn't make the girl worry too much. Now that the two girls are back together, Gwen sometimes feels a little reluctant to let go, and has become a little more passive than before.

Maybe it was that misunderstanding hug outside the park that led to some real friendship between the two girls, so they didn't want to hurt each other. But from Ross' point of view, his desire to have these two girls has become more eager. In Ross's previous life, he had seen too many beautiful women, and had already developed some aesthetic fatigue. For him now, a beautiful face can only occupy a very small part, and a kind heart is the truly precious beauty. .

But to achieve this ulterior goal, he still has a long way to go, so there is no need to be anxious right now.

Several people ordered this week's "Chef's Selected Menu" respectively. For $79, you can taste four signature dishes that the chef is good at. It's okay for a few adults. George's two sons, Howard and Simon, are growing up, so I gave them another They ordered fish steaks in a southern Italian style, and while they waited for their main course, they chatted casually over dessert.

"The new body armor is really excellent. Yesterday I sent them to the internal technical department of the police station for testing, and found that its indicators have exceeded the highest level of police armor, and the same position can continuously resist 0.30-03 caliber rifle bullets. And it’s extremely light in weight and doesn’t need lining steel plates and three-dimensional fibers, how much are you going to price it?” George asked casually while buttering the bread, he never forgets his work even when he’s on vacation.

"The market assessment is still underway, but according to our preliminary discussion, the price to be put into the market is about 2,000 US dollars, and the quotation for the Ministry of Defense is even lower." Ross put down the knife and replied.

"Two thousand dollars?" the fat man exclaimed, his exaggerated tone startled his wife and Gwen's mother who were talking about women.

"Do you know what the price of goods of the same standard can be sold in the market, thirty-eight thousand nine hundred dollars!" Will waved his arms excitedly, little stars almost appeared in his eyes, and he could see the danger It touched him a lot, and I am afraid that he has spent a lot of research on suitable armor in private.

Ross definitely knew it, and what he wanted was this effect. He won the military order in one fell swoop and created a sensational topic.

He's had enough of living in the shadows, and this is just the beginning, and more shocking things will be invented in the future, so that they can be taken seriously enough to make those hidden under the surface automatically emerge to him in front of.

"So as I said earlier, products are invented to be used by people," Ross smiled, raised his glass to the dazed fat man, and answered casually. "The body armor is only the first invention in the laboratory, and there will be other things in the future. When I was very young, my father once told me that he hoped to use his invention to change the world. Although he was unfortunately imprisoned , but his words have influenced my life for many years. My desire is similar to his. I don't expect the world to change completely because of my invention, but I hope to change the way of life of human beings with my own creation. They don’t have to be expensive, as long as they can be as popular as washing machines and refrigerators in the world, liberating people from heavy pressure and making life easier for everyone is enough.”

In the eyes of several well-informed adults, Ross said these words in the name of his father, which is more surprising than his claim to buy the Empire State Building. After all, this young man is not only an inventor who is good at inventing new things, He is also a very talented businessman. If he works hard enough and accumulates huge wealth, he may not be unable to do so. But when they heard Ross's wish, the ambition hidden in the simplicity inevitably surprised several elders. George and Will couldn't help but re-examined him carefully. The two wives and Gwen also agreed. The eyes are full of light.

At first they were only amazed by Ross’s creativity. It’s not unusual for a young inventor to have wealth. Before Stark’s disappearance, the newspapers were full of his lace news every day. Although there was nothing new in the same way, readers were willing to buy it, and the File size newspaper was also happy with it. . When Stark disappeared, a group of tabloids represented by the Daily Bugle compared Ross and Tony in order to save sales, and the outside world believed that it was just another self-proclaimed Stark. Ross had some doubts about the relationship between Ross and his daughter, wondering whether the young man would lose his way under the hype of the outside world and implicate his daughter.

When they met again this time, the two finally let go of their hearts. Ross is still the same Ross from before. As gentle and wise as before, he is quite kind to the elders and Gwen's two younger brothers.

But it wasn't until they heard his words that the Georges suddenly felt that this young man's realm was completely different from Stark's. While Tony was still indulging in sensory stimulation, Ross's ambition had entered a wider world. He began to want to change people's way of life. Who can do this? Historically, only Newton who discovered gravitation, Edison who invented electric light, and Ford who popularized automobiles achieved similar achievements. Newton created classical mechanics and opened a new chapter in human understanding of the natural world. Edison invented the electric light, which greatly changed human life. Ford directly reversed the traditional development model of the American business community and became a representative of the American dream. They are all profound in history. Even Tony's father, Howard, failed to reach similar heights.

At this moment, Ross's image suddenly became taller in their eyes, and there was even a faint respect that needed to be looked up to. The two families had no doubt that Ross could accomplish his lofty goal.

"Cheers to Mr. Byrne, I think he will be proud of having such an excellent heir." Fatty Will made a rare and serious proposal, and the others raised their glasses one after another.

"Ross, what I want to say is that although Mr. Byrne didn't leave you a huge fortune, and he didn't have time to fulfill his father's obligations and make you go through a detour, I think his influence on you is precious enough. It’s a pity that I didn’t have the opportunity to visit your father, he is a great man, I believe you will go to greater heights in the future, work hard, Ross.” George solemnly comforted the young man in front of him, and several people gently Touched the glass.
