33, social animal

Henry Cole is a standard social animal in the bustling city of New York. He holds a mid-level position in a mid-level company and works hard every day for a mid-level salary.

After graduating from a good university and working hard for many years, I finally became a middle-level manager in the company. I am in my early 30s, have a son and a daughter, and have a house of my own.

Being able to buy his own real estate in the prosperous New York City, although it is not in the most expensive wealthy area in New York, it is already very difficult for Henry, as an ordinary person with no identity background, to be able to do this.

Therefore, Henry has always cherished his current life. He has a beautiful and loving wife, and lively and lovely children. When the mortgage is paid off and his children grow up, his life will be basically complete.

So although Henry doesn't really love his current job, he has always been conscientious and cautious, making sure that his work is perfect and error-free.

The daily itinerary is basically to start from home after breakfast in the morning, go to the company, have lunch at the company at noon, work all afternoon, then have dinner at the company if you work overtime, go home directly if you don’t work overtime, and you can also drop by.

Pick up the two children and help his wife take care of the household chores.

When he occasionally takes a vacation, Henry also likes to play some games with his children, which not only shortens the distance between him and his children, but also allows him to relax.

After all, compared to other leisure methods, playing games at home can be considered economical and affordable, and I actually like games more, so this is the best of both worlds.

With heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, Henry never dared to spend lavishly on leisure. The last time his family went on a trip was five years ago.

Henry has been here like this for the past ten years. The company he worked for has been developing well. The business has taken advantage of Stark Industries, which has developed well, and the salary of employees has also been steadily improved.

Henry was also promoted step by step because of his due diligence and ability, and he was barely able to reach the management level. Although the pressure was a bit greater, Henry was still very satisfied with his current situation. At least he could afford his own house and provide a generous life for his family.

living environment.

Everything was originally beautiful, originally.

Until the recent turmoil at Stark Industries, Henry's company also experienced violent turmoil.

First, Tony Stark, the leader of the Stark Group, went to the Middle East to demonstrate new weapons for the military when he encountered a terrorist attack and disappeared for a period of time.

During this period, the stock price of Stark Industries fell rapidly. For a giant industrial company like Stark Industries, any shock will trigger a huge butterfly effect, and companies and enterprises related to it will inevitably be severely affected.

Big impact.

What's more, it's such a big accident that Tony Stark, the leader of the company, disappears.

And it happened that Henry's company had considerable business dealings with Stark Industries, or in other words, it was connected to Stark Industries' business that provided the company with a large part of its stable profits.

The turbulence in Stark Industries' stock price naturally affected Henry's company. During that time, the remaining people in the company were very anxious, and Henry could not sleep all night long.

After finally delaying Tony Stark's safe return, I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief and that the company could weather the storm. However, Tony was lucky and announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing department as soon as he returned.

Stark Industries' stock price plummeted again due to Tony Stark's safe return.

It may even cause greater turmoil than the disappearance of Tony Stark. After all, even without Tony Stark, although Stark Industries will be greatly affected, it will still be the leading company in the U.S. military industry.

But directly closing the weapons manufacturing department would directly cut off most of Stark Industries' original source of income.

Tony Stark became the superhero Iron Man and stole the show.

But Henry's company was in dire straits. Because Stark Industries encountered a crisis and various businesses shrank, the business that Henry's company could undertake naturally shrank significantly in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Tony Stark was quite measured and handed over the company's business to his former secretary assistant Pepper Pepper. In addition, the great value of the new energy technology of the Ark Reactor created by Tony, Stark Industries Group's

The situation has finally settled down.

The situation during this period can be said to be full of twists and turns. Henry was also on edge and experienced several psychological ups and downs. Fortunately, the final situation was not too bad. Stark Industries' stock stabilized, and his company was finally able to survive this time.

stood firm in the storm.

Otherwise, if the company goes bankrupt and he becomes unemployed at this age, Henry really doesn't know what to do.

So now Henry just hopes that Tony Stark, a genius playboy, can honestly play his role as a superhero and genius inventor, and stop interfering in the business decisions of Stark Industries even if he just goes around picking up girls.

, otherwise this playboy would do something stupid on a whim again, and my heart would really be unbearable.

On this day, Henry finished handling the company's affairs and returned home. He was relieved of his fatigue. When he saw his busy wife, a smile appeared on his lips. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a headache. He was holding on to the wall before he could stand still. His eyes were bright.

A flash of red light.

"What's wrong with you?" Henry's wife noticed Henry's strange behavior and quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Henry forced a smile and shook his head: "I just felt a little dizzy suddenly."

"Were you too nervous some time ago? You should still take a good rest."

"It's okay, it's nothing." Henry comforted.

"You should pay more attention to your body. After all, you are almost 40 years old. You should learn to take good care of yourself when you are no longer younger than before. In fact, the children and I just hope that you can always be with us. No need.

You put too much pressure on yourself." Henry's wife said with gentle eyebrows.

Henry smiled with a relaxed expression: "I am just under 35 years old. How can I be that old? I am in good health.

Don’t worry, our family will always be together.”

"The food is ready and I'm just waiting for you to come back. I'll prepare it while you call the children down." Henry's wife took off his suit for Henry.

……………………

"Iron Man is so handsome! The Iron suit is so cool!"

After finishing the meal, Henry's son pointed to the clip on the TV of Tony Stark wearing steel armor: "Dad, doesn't your company have business dealings with Stark Industries? Have you met Mr. Tony Stark?"

Really? Can you get an autograph for me?"

Henry smiled unnaturally: "I've met him a few times from a distance, but I know him, but he doesn't know me.

And now the president of Stark Industries is Tony Stark’s former secretary, Miss Pepper. Mr. Tony Stark basically no longer cares about Stark Industries, and focuses on his own inventions and creations, and the development of superheroes.

Career wise."

"Oh." Henry's son responded with some disappointment, and continued to marvel at the figure of Iron Man on TV.

Henry also turned to watch the TV. Suddenly he had another severe headache, and this time he couldn't help but lay down on the ground.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Henry's son was shocked when he saw this. He knelt down next to Henry and shouted loudly: "Mom, come here quickly!"

Henry's wife and daughter heard the sound and immediately rushed to the living room to check the situation.

"Henry! Henry!" Henry's wife shouted several times and saw that Henry didn't respond. She just closed her eyes and struggled painfully. She asked her son worriedly: "What's wrong with your father?"

"I don't know. We were watching TV, but my father suddenly fell to the ground in pain." Henry's son also fell to the ground.

"What is this?" Henry's daughter suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Henry's wife quickly turned around and asked.

"I seem to see strange light spots coming out of my father's body." The daughter said with some uncertainty.

"Are you sure?" The wife was a little surprised and looked carefully at Henry, who was lying on the ground and twisting his body in pain, but found nothing unusual.

"Maybe I saw it wrong." After looking at it carefully, my daughter scratched her head in confusion.

"No matter what, call the hospital first and ask them to send an ambulance." The wife suddenly reacted and hurriedly went to find the phone.

……………………

After the medical ambulance arrived.

"You two stay at home well, I will accompany your father to the hospital for a check-up." Henry's wife told the child.

Henry, whose condition had improved on the side, said: "There's no need to be so nervous. Can't you see I'm feeling better now? I just had a little headache for a while. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"No matter what? You must have a comprehensive physical examination this time." Henry's wife said in an unquestionable tone.
