As expected, a beautiful woman with curly red hair and wearing an OL suit soon walked in from outside, fully displaying her graceful figure and exuding an air of temptation. This must be the Black Widow, a senior S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, similar to Coulson.
"This is my assistant, Natalia Romanoff. She's very capable and can help guide Skye."
Pepper introduced the Black Widow, Natalia, to Wang Kai.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Wang Kai and Skye both shook hands with Natalia.
"Don't underestimate this woman. She's very skilled."
Just then, Tony got off the boxing ring, sneaked behind Wang Kai, and whispered to him. However, Wang Kai clearly saw Natalia's eyebrow twitch in front of him, indicating she had heard Tony's words.
"Natalia, you can take Skye to get acquainted with the work first. Skye, how about starting work today?"
Pepper quickly interjected. Tony was really going too far.
"Okay, Miss Skye, please follow me."
Natalia said.
"Just call me Skye."
Skye motioned to Wang Kai and then followed Natalia out.
"Kai, don't listen to Tony's nonsense. She was originally a new assistant I found for Tony, since I can't follow him around every day anymore. But Tony, you know what his personality is like, so Natalia is now my assistant."
After Skye and Natalia left, Pepper said helplessly.
"I need to clarify, that was absolutely not sexual harassment. It was just a simple test. This woman is not simple at all. She can easily defeat Hogan, right, Hogan?"
Tony immediately defended himself. Hogan, on the boxing ring, rolled his eyes at Tony. After all, losing to a woman was not something to be proud of.
"That's why I said this woman isn't simple. She gives me a very uncomfortable feeling. I don't want an assistant who makes me uncomfortable."
Tony said as he took off his protective gear.
"Tony is right, I also feel there's something off about this woman."
Wang Kai knew the Black Widow Natalia's background.
"See? What did I tell you, Pepper? Fire her."
Tony immediately said smugly, knowing his feeling was right and that Wang Kai supported him.
"Tony, don't be in a hurry. Although I think this woman is problematic, I don't sense any malice from her, so there's nothing to worry about."
Wang Kai's words brought Tony's smugness to a sudden halt, and he choked, gulping down an energy drink.
"Since both of you said so, I will find an opportunity to investigate her. I hope she's not sent by a competitor."
Hearing that Wang Kai's opinion was the same as Tony's, Pepper became more cautious. It was better to investigate, lest there be a commercial spy by her side. She was no longer just an assistant; she was now the CEO of Stark Industries, and every decision was closely related to Stark Industries.
"Don't be so nervous, take your time. Tony, when are you going to New York?"
Wang Kai asked. He just wanted to confirm the timeline.
"Hmm, soon. I'll go back to New York in about a month to host the Stark Expo in Flushing, Queens. Are you interested in attending? I'm already designing my entrance, it will definitely be eye-catching."
Tony said. He was living quite comfortably now. He hadn't expected to be so relaxed after handing over the CEO position to Pepper. If he had known, he would have let Pepper take charge sooner.
"No, I don't like being a backdrop. You go make a fuss by yourself."
Wang Kai directly refused. Wang Kai didn't want to join the fun, and besides, in Tony's domain, anyone who went would be a backdrop, even the President of the United States.
"Then you're really going to miss a wonderful performance."
Tony pretended to be regretful, but Wang Kai was not tempted at all.
"I can just watch it on TV. I hope you'll be photogenic."
Wang Kai still refused, making Pepper chuckle beside him. Tony just needed friends like this.
"When am I not photogenic? I'm rated as the most charismatic entrepreneur and scientist every year. Alright, there's a party tonight, a Stark Industries party. The stock performance of Stark Industries has been very good recently, so we need to celebrate. You should come too, you opportunist. You must have made a lot of money this time."
Tony didn't force Wang Kai and informed him.
"Okay, I'll attend."
Wang Kai didn't refuse either, because Wang Kai knew Pepper would definitely attend this party, and as Pepper's assistant, Skye would also be there. He would just accompany Skye.
In the evening, at a luxurious hotel, the Stark Industries celebration party was held. Although Stark Industries experienced pain and a stock crash after closing the weapons development department, with the rise of the energy department, people saw that Stark Industries was still Stark Industries. No matter what it did, it was a leader, and the stock climbed accordingly, with limit-ups being a common occurrence. Wang Kai took advantage of the stock crash to make a big profit, and now he was raking in money. If Wang Kai didn't care much about money, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear by now.
"My dear, you are absolutely stunning tonight."
Upon arriving at the party, Wang Kai saw Skye who appeared with Pepper, and of course, Natalia was also there.
Skye had her hair styled into wavy curls and wore a long black dress, making her look much more mature. With makeup, Wang Kai found her stunning.
"How about it? Did I scare you? I even scared myself."
Skye said excitedly. It was her first day at work today, and she felt completely different from before, as if she had instantly matured.
"Let's go, my dear, let's dance. I want everyone to know that this beautiful flower is already taken."
Wang Kai gentlemanly invited Skye to dance. Skye also ladylike placed her hand in Wang Kai's outstretched palm and followed Wang Kai onto the dance floor.
Fortunately, the dance steps weren't difficult, just a simple slow waltz that Wang Kai and Skye could handle. If it were something like the tango, Wang Kai and Skye would only be able to stand on the sidelines and watch.
After one dance, Wang Kai took Skye to the bar, ordered two glasses of champagne, smiled at each other, and clinked glasses. This feeling was wonderful.
"Skye, you're here! Come on, I'll introduce you to some colleagues."
While Wang Kai and Skye were chatting, Pepper walked over and found Skye. Today was Skye's first day at work, and she needed to introduce Skye to other colleagues.
