Chapter 13 Tony Stark's Hidden Illness
Los Angeles, Malibu Beach, as the top wealthy villa area in Los Angeles and even the entire west coast of the United States, many celebrities and wealthy businessmen own their own houses here, definitely including Tony Stark.
At the moment, Pepperpotz was the only one in the empty hall, holding a phone in his hand, and there was a busy tone.
Pepperpotz smiled helplessly, opened the door of the underground laboratory and walked down.
"Tony, I told you this isn't okay. You have to learn to respect those who help you." Pepper said to Tony Stark who was doing an experiment with his head down.
"You mean he rejected me? Refused to be Tony Stark's personal physician? Doesn't he know that the income from serving me alone is higher than serving all the gentlemen and ladies on Wall Street?" Tony Stark said without raising his head.
Knowing that he couldn't stop working once he started, Pepper went over and stopped Tony Stark's work, looked at him and said:
"He knows who we are, Tony.
Look at me, look at my face.
I've only been there three times, and it took less than four hours in total.
You know what, Tony? I feel like my body has returned to ten years ago.
I've never been better than it is now.
This is not an effect that can be achieved by going to the gym a few times a day, you know? In Xia's words, this is called 'maintaining the body from the inside out'.
Do you know how magical this is? He is a genius.
Tony, come with me to New York tomorrow and we'll meet and talk to him.
I believe your sincerity in going there in person will impress him."
"I admit you look fine now."
Tony Stark looked at Pepper and said, then he went back to work and continued, "I won't personally hire a health care practitioner, and I don't like you calling others geniuses in front of me.
I think I am the greatest genius in your mind, not a health care practitioner, definitely, in the eyes of others as well."
"I'll arrange a flight for tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up tomorrow. Go to bed early and have a good sleep, boss!" Little Pepper turned.
He walked away and said firmly.
Pepper normally obeys Tony Stark's orders absolutely, especially before she became the CEO of Stark Industries, she was very obedient to Tony Stark and took good care of his life, except when there were health problems with Tony, then she would be extremely tough.
Just now when Tony Stark showed a little bit of discomfort, but not illness in the medical sense, Pepper remembered Xia Yu's theory of health preservation, so she couldn't wait to recommend Xia Yu and called regardless of time.
It was a rare occasion that Pepper was tough with him, so Tony Stark shrugged and said nothing, because he felt the concern and also because Pepper had changed so much recently.
When he was dating the cover girl of the magazine, his mind was full of Pepper.
Tony Stark sighed, put down the work at hand, and went to rest obediently.
Xia Yu made the right bet, and the next afternoon he met one of the soul figures in Avengers, Iron Man Tony Stark, although the atmosphere was not very harmonious at the beginning.
"The genius who knows the mysterious oriental medical skills you mentioned couldn't be this kid, Pepper, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" Tony Stark started to swear as soon as he entered the room.
"Mr. Stark, Xia Yu's clinic is the most famous in New York. It has been like this since his grandfather's time. The most prestigious and influential people in Manhattan need to make an appointment to be seen." Pepper said to Tony Stark while smiling at Xia Yu.

Tony Stark obviously didn't appreciate Pepper's kindness, and continued to provoke: "I believe his grandfather has magical oriental medical skills, but I find it hard to believe that this kid in front of me can be as magical as you say."
After that, Tony Stark turned his head and looked at Xia Yu and said, "How old are you this year, kid? Are you of legal drinking age?"
Xia Yu was brewing tea on the tea table. Hearing this, she said to Tony Stark, "I am 23 years old this year. Mr. Stark, I heard that you entered MIT at the age of 15 and took charge of your family business at the age of 21. Don't you know that age is not everything?"
"How can it be the same? I'm Tony Stark, the world's most famous genius, billionaire, playboy." Tony Stark said arrogantly.
"Then go buy a medical journal and read it carefully and heal your own body to prove it to me, Mr. Genius." Xia Yu did not give in.
Xia Yu poured a cup of tea and made a gesture of invitation to Little Pepper, saying, "Miss Potts, have a taste of your favorite black tea."
Pepper thanked her and took it.
Tony Stark sat down naturally and poured himself a cup.
He said, "Your tea is good.
Although I usually drink coffee, kid, do you know who you are provoking? My talent is to make the most advanced weapons in the world, not to be a small health doctor.
And I don't think it takes much talent to be a good health doctor."
Xia Yu graciously refilled the glasses for the two of them, but said unforgivingly, "So the great Mr. Stark can create weapons that can destroy the earth but can't repair his own... um? Frail and old body? Mr. Stark, may I ask how old you are this year? Let me guess? 45?"
Xia Yu definitely did it on purpose. Tony Stark was born in 1970, so he is only 37 years old now. And compared to the movie, Tony Stark now looks younger.
"Damn it, I'm far from 40. I work out more than four times a week and I'm very strong. How dare you describe me as weak and old? I hate that word. Damn it, you p****d me off. Do you have any boxing gloves here? I must show you what strong means." Tony Stark was so angry that he danced with joy.
Xia Yu turned to Pepper with a surprised look on her face and asked, "Ms.
Potts, are you sure this Mr.
Stark is less than 40 years old this year? Oh my God, he looks like your father."
After that, she ignored Pepper's reaction and turned to Tony Stark and continued, "You said you work out four times a week? I'm sorry, sir, but I have to say that the best maintained part of your body is your beard.
Although it doesn't match you at all, it at least looks well-groomed."
Tony Stark drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, as if in a huff, and said, "I actually met a guy who is even more annoying than me. My father once described me as the more talented I am, the more sarcastic I am. I will give my sarcastic side to you now, and then we will see your genius side."
Then he turned to Pepper and said, "Pepper, go downstairs and buy me a cup of coffee.
I really can't get used to drinking tea.
Just look around the store at the intersection to see if there's any concentrated sulfuric acid.
If the effect isn't satisfactory, I'm going to splash it on this kid's face."
Pepper was watching them bickering with a smile on her face.
It was rare to see Tony get humiliated.
She knew Tony Stark very well.
If he didn't like someone, he wouldn't waste his words on them.
Xia Zhen was a very charming young man.
She liked him at first sight.
Tony seemed to have a good impression of him as well. (System's favorable impression of plot characters)

Hearing what Tony Stark said, Pepper smiled and nodded, gave Xia Yu an apologetic look, then got up and went downstairs.
Tony Stark turned around and said to Xia Yu viciously until he could no longer hear Pepper's footsteps coming down the stairs. "Boy, I got up early in the morning and left my lab.
I took a plane for several hours.
You'd better make me feel that it's worth it.
I need Pepper's all-round care from the inside out.
Do you understand me?"
Xia Yu smiled: "Mr.
Stark, actually, if you are afraid of wasting time, a small blue pill can solve your problem.
It is sold in the pharmacy downstairs.
You can get a 20% discount if you mention my name."
Xia Yu saw the main problem as soon as he entered the door.
Otherwise, how could Tony Stark fly over here in person so quickly? It turned out that there was a problem with a man's most important function.
"Damn it, how did you figure that out? I need to repair my body, repair, do you understand? Just like an engine that's running slowly, I need you to repair or upgrade it, instead of overloading it, do you understand? That will shorten the life of the engine, damn it, what I want to say is that I've been working too long hours recently and haven't had enough rest, so various functions of my body have been affected, but I don't have extra time to rest, so I need your special medical skills to help my body rest and restore its proper functions, yes, that's what I mean."
Tony Stark explained seriously.
"I completely understand what you mean and your needs, and I will not disclose the specific details of your treatment to anyone.
But to achieve the best results, I need you to come twice a week for more than three months, and you cannot have s*x with any woman during these three months, definitely not men."
Xia Yu answered very seriously.
"Three months won't work. That's too long. Do you know how many hot girls I have to face every day? I can't reject every one of them. It's not gentlemanly to reject a lady, especially a beautiful one." Tony Stark bargained.
"Then go buy that little blue pill.
I can't help you, but I must tell you that your engine has run too long a distance.
If you force it to accelerate, it will be scrapped.
I definitely have a way to make you achieve the effect of that little blue pill without scrapping it, but your engine will become irreparable and you can only maintain your current horsepower."
Xia Yu shrugged his shoulders to show that he was powerless.
"Damn, have you seen Maxim magazine? I said I would try to be their monthly cover girl this year, but I missed their February model and I thought there was no hope.
Who knew that their cover next month would be a pair of twins? I think this is a chance God has given me and I must seize it.
So by next month at the latest, I must be in good shape so that I can deal with two at the same time, and without any side effects.
You have to help me think of a solution, and you can name your own price."
Tony Stark said.
"It's not a matter of money, but it will take nearly a month. I need to monitor your sleep and diet every day and provide you with treatment every day. Do you have the time to stay here for a month?" Xia Yu said.
"I'm here with you? Live together for a month? I can't do that.
In fact, I want you to be my personal health doctor.
To be honest, I quite admire the changes you have brought to Pepper.
I mean, it's very natural and dazzling, isn't it? So if you are willing, come to Los Angeles with me, and you can set any conditions."
Tony Stark finally made an invitation.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in being anyone's personal health care doctor.
In fact, I don't plan to work in this industry again.
I can help you solve this problem this time, but you have to promise me, Mr.
Stark, that you need to follow my arrangements until your treatment is completed."
Xia Yu said.

The author has something to say:
Today is the first chapter, there are four chapters in total.
Some people say that Black widow is promiscuous.
Why is the protagonist with her? This is a movie universe, not a comic book.
In Captain America III, Black widow said to Winter Soldier, "You should know me."
This is from Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
She told Captain America that Winter Soldier had killed the scientist she was protecting and shot her.
There is no promiscuity in the movie.
