<h4>Chapter 1056: Looking at the Scenery With the Female CEO</h4>


    Luke hurriedly replied, “I know. We bought 1.57% of shares in Stark Industries. With a little more effort, you’ll be able to join the board of directors.”


    Jenny said, “Yes, I’m already working on that, but don’t you know the other piece of news?”


    Luke asked, “What news?”


    Jenny said, “...Tony Stark is already done with an internal cleanup of thepany. He now holds more than 65% of the shares. From now on, no one can shake his control over Stark Industries.”


    Luke said, “Well, that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with us.”


    Jenny said, “But Miss Pepper has already privately disclosed that thepany will be undergoing a major transformation and will enter the field of science and technology.”


    Stunned, Luke thought for a moment and asked, “Do we still have money? If we do, we can buy some more shares...”


    Jenny’s heart skipped a beat. “Don’t say it over the phone. Come to the office right away.” She hung up.


    Luke scratched his head. The female CEO sure knew how to act first and reportter.


    But he hadn’t seen Jenny in days, either. He had only contacted her via email and phone; indeed, he should meet her in person.


    Jenny probably remembered how Luke had said that he knew someone at the top in Stark Industries.


    Thest time he said this, the two of them had made more than five billion dors from the financial market.


    They might be able to rake in another sum this time. Thus, this wasn’t something that should be discussed over the phone. After all, it was too easy for someone to listen in.


    Of course, their line was encrypted, so it was unlikely that someone could eavesdrop on them without their knowing.


    But Jenny just wanted to see him before they talked.


    Luke drove another car out of the garage and went to the phonepany’s parking lot before taking the elevator to the 18th floor.


    He and Jenny were the only ones who could use this elevator. It led not to Jenny’s office, but to her lounge on the 18th floor.


    It might be termed a lounge, but was actually a luxury apartment. It was where Jenny lived in Nassau County.


    Jenny didn’t show up immediately.


    Luke casually changed his shoes and wandered around the living room.


    He had never been here before. At most, he had only seen some of it in videos.


    He then noticed that there was a telescope next to the French windows which faced the road.


    As long as it was tilted down slightly, it would be facing the road below. Even the car tes could be clearly seen.


    Luke chuckled. Alright, this indeed wasn’t spying. At most, it was... looking at the scenery?


    After wandering around for ten minutes, Luke poured himself a cup of coffee and stood in front of the window.


    The building that Jenny had chosen for the cell phonepany wasn’t crammed with other tall buildings, but was close to Queens.


    Apart from this tall building, the other buildings were at least a few kilometers away, so there was an extremely broad view.


    Nassau County wasn’t as crowded as New York. The expanse was covered in greenery, with only a few roads and scattered residential buildings.


    The good weather from yesterday continued today. The morning sun shone down, making therge stretch of dewy green nts even more vibrant.


    Most of the time, even when Luke was sitting at home, he would be searching files for leads or he would be thinking about the items he would work on in his free time.


    Now that he was at Jenny’s ce, and the female CEO coulde out of the bathroom at any moment, he decided to give his brain a break.


    For a rare moment, his mind wandered.


    After a while, a fragrant scent drifted over.


    The perfume wasn’t strong, but subtle. A pair of arms reached out from behind him, and Jenny hugged his waist and whispered, “What are you thinking about?”


    Luke turned around and smiled. “Nothing. I was just daydreaming.”


    Jenny was stunned by the smile in the sunlight. A momentter, she mumbled, “Why do I feel that you’ve be more handsome? It doesn’t make sense.”


    Luke smiled.


    It was impossible not to be handsome.


    40 Mental Strength also boosted his temperament. However, this was only apparent after a certain period of observation.


    But Jenny was very familiar with him, which was why she was very sensitive to any change.


    Secondly, although he wouldn’t misuse Elementary Pheromone Control, he could release it slightly to put Jenny in a good mood; it was always good to get along well, and not with a belly full of resentment.


    To do this, he only needed a very minute amount of pheromones, which was no more than what an ordinary man released on a daily basis.


    However, an ordinary man’s pheromones wouldn’t necessarily make the opposite sex like him; this was simr to a key matching the right lock.


    Luke’s pheromones had already evolved into a master key.


    Unless it was an unusual situation, most women would have a good impression of him.


    With the two new skills, it was normal for Jenny, who hadn’t seen him in a while, to feel that he had be more handsome.


    He took Jenny to the window and sat her down.


    Her body temperature could be felt through the thin floral dress. Coupled with the scent from the shower, it felt like a warm embrace.


    Feeling at peace, Luke poured coffee for the both of them, and they chatted as they drank.


    The two of them talked about how to make a quick buck again from the fluctuations in Stark Industries’ stock price, but they were very rxed.


    Neither of them really cared about how much money they could earn this time.


    Titanium Phone Company was developing rapidly, and thepany’s worth was skyrocketing.


    Some of the profits earned from the plunge in Stark Industries’ stock pricest year had gone into the expansion of the phonepany.


    The research departments of other mobile phonepanies, which required substantial long-term investments, were still only dabbling around. Luke’s n could be used for the next eight to ten years, and Jenny didn’t need to invest a lot in it.


    The real investment was in buying patents and marketing, but the Titanium phones were already generating huge profits, and not a lot of investment was required in this area.


    Their cell phonepany, which wasn’t big in practical terms, had an abundance of funds.


    As long as it had money, thepany wouldn’t be under too much pressure.


    Luke decided to rest for half a day, so the atmosphere didn’t change.


    The two of them sat by the window and basked in the winter sun, drinking coffee and chatting for a long time.


    ...


    Luke returned to theb just before it got dark.


    Selina curled her lip when she saw Luke return in a new set of clothes. She was toozy to jeer, so she said, “Didn’t you say you’reing up with some face-changing program? John Wick just left the Continental Hotel with a big bag of weapons. If you don’t hurry, he might run away after killing the Tarasov family.”


    Luke was intrigued. “He found his target?”


    Selina shrugged. “Seems like it. As long as he can pay, someone in the hotel will sell him the information.”


    Luke shook his head and sighed. “You can’t be too arrogant. Iosef is the only son of the head of the Tarasov family. He has everything he wants, but he just had to steal a super killer’s car and kill his dog. Isn’t he the stereotypical idiot viin?”


    A real viin would have taken out John Wick on the spot.


    Alright, maybe things weren’t that simple.
