Leo said that he wanted to have dinner together in the evening was not just nonsense, but that he had already discussed with several key management members a few days earlier.

The company has just started, and the current key management members will be the mainstay of the company in the future, so it is very important to do a good job in team building.

Because the meeting was on the way, and people were coming and going, Peter took the initiative to suppress his spider sense.

So he didn't realize that Leo had actually been standing not far away for a while, listening to the conversation between him and Otto.

Peter saw Leo and thought he had just come over.

At this time, I heard that Leo invited him to have dinner in the evening, as kind as he treated his employees.

Peter felt that since he didn't want to stay in El Technology, he might as well make the words clear now, so as not to disappoint Leo's high regard.

"Mr. Erwin, thank you for your compliment. I just tried my best to complete what I should do today."

Peter smiled modestly and continued,

"Besides, I'm not going to attend the dinner party at night.

And, Mr. Erwin, don't be angry, I actually don't plan to work at Erwin in the future. "

After Peter finished speaking, he hurriedly explained:

"Mr. Erwin, I'm not trying to say anything wrong with Erwin, I just have things I'm interested in to do.

In addition, thank you very much for your recognition and appreciation for me these days, but I really can't stay in your company. "

Leo laughed at Peter's serious explanation. No one could get angry with this cute and serious look.

Besides, Leo had no reason to be angry. After all, Peter did not sign any labor contract with El Technology.

"Peter, you don't want to continue working in El Technology, but I've known it for a long time.

It's been more than a week, and you haven't submitted a formal resume and cover letter to the personnel department. I'm already mentally prepared. "

Peter scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, expressing his apology again.

Leo touched his chin and thought for a while, then said:

"I just invited you to have dinner together in the evening, it is my euphemism to want to keep you again.

In fact, I am very optimistic about your ability and work style. I believe that you will definitely be able to achieve something in El Technology in the future.

But everyone has their own aspirations. Since you have something you want to do, I will not force you. "

Leo took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Peter.

"You did a good job today, here is the reward you deserve.

Originally, I was going to give it to you when we had dinner together at night, but since you don't want to go, I'll give it to you now.

Here's a total of two thousand dollars, and the extra is the bonus I promised you. "

Although Peter wanted to say that the money was too much, he took the envelope with both hands honestly and put it in his arms.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Erwin."

With these two thousand dollars, at least his living expenses and rent for the next two or three months have been found.

Even got a decent present for Mary Jane.

"Peter, can you introduce me to this gentleman?"

Otto, who was standing next to him, was left to hang out by Peter and Leo for a long time, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to show his presence.

Peter only remembered Otto at this moment, he suddenly reacted, and quickly introduced Otto and Leo.

"Dr. Octavius, this is Mr. Leo Erwin, and he is the actual person in charge of El Technology.

Mr. Erwin, this is Dr. Otto Octavius, one of my university teachers. "

Otto took the initiative to say hello to Leo, and then shook hands warmly.

Leo unexpectedly found that for some reason, Otto's palm was a little weak.

"Peter, is this the same university professor that Miss Jane mentioned last time, where you were a research assistant?"

"Yes, Professor Octavius ​​is an excellent research scholar, and I have worked with him during my university days."

Leo already had a draft in his heart, and when he heard Peter's definite answer, he asked directly:

"But I heard from Miss Jane last time that there were some problems with the funding of the scientific research project you participated in, Peter, and even the research could not be carried out."

Leo didn't wait for Peter to answer, he turned his head to Otto and said with a smile,

"Dr. Octavius, is that true? I wonder if I can offer you some help?"

Since Otto saw just now that Leo gave Peter two thousand dollars unequivocally and distressed, he actually had some thoughts in his mind.

Otherwise, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask Peter to introduce Leo's identity, and he wouldn't take the initiative and warmly say hello to Leo.

You must know that most of the successful scientific research scholars are arrogant and self-improving. They will neither take the initiative to suppress anyone, nor take the initiative to flatter anyone.

Otto was also forced to do nothing by the issue of funding, and he also had reasons to continue the research on this project.

At this time, Leo suddenly took the initiative to mention whether he could help, and he was with Otto.

Otto's character made him not reserved.

Besides, he was also afraid that if he was a little euphemistic, Leo would go down the **** and not mention the help.

So, Otto said directly:

"Mr. Erwin means that he wants to provide me with funds to help me carry out the research project? Thank you very much."

Leo was stunned for a moment, and the manuscript he had prepared in his belly was suddenly stillborn.

Unexpectedly, Otto's desire for money was so urgent. Leo originally thought that he needed to spend a lot of words to convince Otto to accept his funding.

However, this also proves from the side how important this project is to Otto.

Since Otto took the initiative to ask for Leo's help, Leo felt that he had to turn the tables on the customer and acted in a difficult position.

Because people often take the initiative of others to help them as a matter of course, and take the lead they ask for as their gratitude.

This is also one of the few life philosophies that Leo understood in his previous life.

"Dr. Octavius, you're right, I do have plans in this regard, but I'm more interested in Mr. Peter Parker's face."

Leo quietly sent himself a good person card from Peter, and then continued,

"Also, don't worry, I want to invest in your research project.

However, I need to fully understand and inspect your project before I can decide how much to invest.

Note that I said investment, not funding. You know, I'm a businessman, so I need your projects to benefit me. "

Leo smiled and comforted Otto, and answered Otto's question ambiguous.

Otto calmed down for a while, and then he realized that private investment is not the same as the scientific research funding support of the city government.

Because 100% of private investment is for making money.

As a university professor and a scientific researcher, Otto's starting point for the project did not make any money at all, so he could only tell the truth:

"I don't know if my research project can make money, after all, as a researcher, I don't care about the commercial value of the project itself.

However, I can give you a description of what my research project is doing, I believe you can judge for yourself, Mr. Erwin. "

So, Otto carefully explained to Leo what he was doing.

As if applying for scientific research funding, Otto told Leo in an orderly manner, where the starting point of his research project was, how far he had progressed, and what he expected to achieve.

Leo listened very carefully, so he heard that the Doctor Octopus in this world~www.NovelMTL.com~ is not the character in the movie he is familiar with.

The Doctor Octopus in this world is less arrogant and treats Peter as a student sincerely.

In addition, what he is researching is not a tritium nuclear reactor that is difficult to control, but is devoted to research and manufacture of mechanical prostheses that can be freely controlled by human nerve signals.

However, Leo has seen various adaptations about Doctor Octopus in his previous life, and the final result is that Doctor Octopus will definitely turn black.

So, based on the law that Doctor Octopus will definitely be blackened, Leo felt that Otto never told the truth.

So, Leo thought for a while and asked:

"Dr. Octavius, I happen to know a lot about machinery, why don't you take me to your laboratory for a field visit?

In this way, I can also have a more intuitive evaluation and judgment on the commercial value of your research project. "

Otto had no choice but to invite Leo in person, and now he can visit the laboratory.

It's only nearly noon now, and it's still very early.

Leo nodded in agreement and prepared to call Bucky, who was still in the El Building, to accompany him to visit Dr. Octavius' laboratory.

Calling Bucky, of course, is Leo out of safety considerations.

Otherwise, if Dr. Octopus suddenly turned black today, and the four mechanical tentacles were poking at Leo, who would Leo find reason...

Hearing that Leo was going to invest in Dr. Octavius' project, Peter was of course very happy and naturally wanted to accompany Leo to the laboratory.

So, the three of them discussed it properly, and now they are ready to go.

However, just as the three of them were about to leave, there were some small disturbances in the west of the venue.
