Chapter 147 (1/2)
<hr><hr>
The middle-aged man standing up from the sofa is Harry’s father Norman Osborn. Unlike the online photos and videos, Norman Osborn seems younger and has a different temperament in front of Lin Rui and Peter. Of course, there must be some differences between the videos and photos on the Internet and the real self, but Lin Rui thinks this is the temperament of Norman’s other brutal personality.
“Dad, that’s Jackson I’ve been talking about with you. He’s my good friend like Peter.” While taking Lin Rui and Peter forward, Harry introduced Lin Rui to his father. Harry and Peter had known each other for a long time. Norman Osborn had known Peter before. After all, Peter’s father had worked in Oscorp before, so there was no need to introduce him.
“h.e.l.lo, Uncle Norman / Mr. Osborn.” After Harry introduced, Peter and Lin Rui greeted him politely.
“h.e.l.lo. Jackson, you don’t have to be so polite, just call me uncle, like Peter does, I am very glad that you can come today.” Smiling at Lin Rui, Norman said kindly.
“Okay, Uncle Norman.” Although Lin Rui had a feeling of being cheap, he still called him uncle.
“Ha-ha, come and sit down. I’ve been very happy to hear Harry say his friends are coming to visit me the other day. I’ve known Peter for a long time. His father used to work with me. He was a very capable biologist. And Peter is no worse than his father it seems. I heard you’ve been doing research behind Dr. Connors?” Greeting Lin Rui and Peter to sit down, Norman started chatting like an ordinary parent.
“Yes, Uncle Norman, I am happy to be able to follow Dr. Connors on his research.” In the face of a guy who might be a super bad guy, Peter tried to behave normally. However, when Peter saw Norman this time, he obviously felt that this person was different from the person he had met when he was a child. Perhaps Mirage Knight’s information is true.
“Well, if there is anything you need in the experiment, you can ask Oscorp for support, as I always tell Harry, Oscorp is always supportive of these valuable research.”
“Thank you.”
“Jackson is also very amazing. I know that your grades in the school have always been on the top. And, recently, Tony Stark seems to appreciate you. I don’t know if this is true?” Norman turned the topic to Lin Rui and he seemed interested in the relations.h.i.+p between Lin Rui and Tony.
“Uh ~Well, actually, I’ve only done Mr. Stark a few small favors. And Mr. Stark is not a person who likes to be in someone’s debt, so he once invited me into Stark Industries, but I refused.” Faced with Norman’s inquiry, Lin Rui answered with a smile. This vague truth is the hardest to read. Lin Rui doesn’t want Norman’s discontent because of his relations.h.i.+p with Tony.
You know, the other personality in Norman’s body is very unstable. Maybe he takes Stark Industries as his target. If he is very close to Tony, Norman may see him as an enemy, which is not conducive to his actions.
“Oh? Is it? Why did you refuse such a good opportunity?” When he heard Lin Rui’s answer, Norman looked down and asked, apparently interested in Lin Rui’s choice.
“Dad, Jackson did not only have good at grades but he also has a wide range of hobbies. He will make great achievements in any line of work. So I think that’s why he didn’t entered the Stark Industries.” Just as Norman went on to ask Lin Rui, Harry cut in. Today was a good day and his friends had come to visit his father. Harry thought it was not appropriate for him to ask these questions all the time, so he interrupted.
“Yes, I’m dabbling in everything myself, so I don’t want to fix my future so early.” After Harry’s removal, Lin Rui himself explained.
“Well, that’s good. Young people should be like this. Since they have time and ability, they can make more breakthroughs. Maybe they will make greater achievements in the future.” Nodding, Norman laughed and said, “And if you want, you can come to Oscorp in the future, we will welcome you anytime.”
“Thank you, Mr. Norman.”
“I said you can call me uncle.”
“Er… Thank Uncle Norman.
Next, three young people and Norman chatted in this simple and quiet hall about everyday life, learning, funny things, and all kinds of jokes. They weren’t Green Goblin, Spiderman and Mirage Knight here, this was just a simple and normal meeting between friends and parents.
“Well, there’s still about half an hour before we eat. Harry, you can take your two friends around. I’ll take a rest first.” After talking for a while, Norman seemed tired and said to Harry.
