Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Lizard Professor! Dinner! Gwen Blushes!

After learning that Rhodey was her senior, Gwen started chatting with him.

The two found a place to sit down, chatting about interesting things that happened during Rhodey's student days, and then listening to Gwen talk about how strict her Professor was and how difficult it was to get a university recommendation.

During their conversation, Rhodey also learned that Gwen's Professor was named Professor Connors.

That is, the famous Lizard Professor!

However, at this moment, Professor Connors had not yet transformed into the large lizard that liked to stay in the sewers; he was still a physically disabled but determined elite Professor, dedicated to conquering interspecies gene transplantation.

Moreover, Professor Connors in this World was different from the one in The Amazing Spider-Man; he was not forced to experiment on himself before Roman Osborn was about to die.

Because Roman Osborn in this World died very suddenly; he was supposed to last another year or so, but he suddenly kicked the bucket.

Plus, Peter Parker also didn't have a father who worked at the Osborn Group.

Nor did he know anything about decay rate algorithms.

So, Professor Connors was still doing well at the moment.

Even his interspecies gene transplantation research project had not stopped due to Roman Osborn's death; instead, it was still ongoing.

Harry, as the heir to the Osborn family, had even personally met with Professor Connors before and discussed some things about his research project.

Speaking of which;

Did Harry in this World also have the Osborn family's hereditary illness?

If he did, Harry must have already known by now.

After all, before Roman Osborn died, he would surely leave a will for his son, and such a major issue as a hereditary illness would definitely be mentioned in the will.

However, Harry had never mentioned this to Rhodey.

Was it that he didn't have it?

Or did he not want to discuss such a heavy topic?

Or perhaps...

Had he already found a solution?

....

After chatting with Gwen for a long time, since the two had actually known each other for a while, getting reacquainted was very quick.

Therefore;

Gwen no longer addressed Rhodey as President Luo.

It felt too formal.

Instead, she started calling him by his name directly.

"Oh dear~! It's almost four-thirty!"

Gwen, who had been chatting so engrossed, looked at her watch and realized that half an hour had passed.

But she hadn't felt the time pass for so long at all.

It was as if only a few minutes had gone by.

"Do you still have things to do?" Rhodey asked her.

Gwen shook her head.

"Four-thirty is when I get off work."

Rhodey smiled.

"That's perfect, I'm leaving too. Since you're off work, I'll give you a ride since it's on my way?" Rhodey said.

"How do you know we're going the same way?" Gwen asked him with a smile.

"As long as you live in Free City, then for me, it's all on the way," Rhodey said.

"I don't believe you!" Gwen said with a laugh, then stood up and said, "I'll go say hello to my Professor, and then to thank you for helping me find my employee ID, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"How can I let you do that," Rhodey said, "So, what are we having for dinner?"

Gwen covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You're really interesting," she said.

After Gwen went to say hello to Professor Connors, the two took the elevator down together and left the Osborn Building.

"Please get in!" Rhodey gentlemanly opened the passenger door for Gwen.

"Is this your car?" Gwen remembered that the last time she saw Rhodey on the road, he wasn't driving this car.

But it seemed quite normal for rich people to own several cars.

After thinking about it, Gwen didn't dwell on the question anymore.

Sitting in the car, Gwen found that such an expensive car wasn't comfortable at all.

It wasn't even as comfortable as her father's police car!

"To be honest, I can't feel at all why this car sells for so much," she said while buckling her seatbelt.

"Expensive?"

"I don't think so," Rhodey looked at her and smiled.

Gwen gave him a beautiful eye-roll.

So Versailles!

Versailles?

Rhodey actually didn't really feel like he was being Versailles.

Although he had a playful element to his words.

But deep down, Rhodey truly didn't think this kind of supercar was very expensive.

Let's put it this way: Rhodey's total net worth now exceeded ten billion U.S. dollars!

Even if he put this money in the bank to earn interest, that would be the lowest profit generation method.

But even so, just from interest alone, Rhodey could get four hundred million U.S. dollars a year!

Calculated, that's about one point one million a day!

And a supercar like this, in the U.S., costs only about one million.

In other words;

The money Rhodey earned in one day could buy a supercar of this caliber.

So, how could Rhodey think this kind of car was expensive?

Would you consider something you can buy with a day's salary expensive?

And this wasn't even Rhodey's salary.

He didn't need to work to get this money.

....

In the restaurant.

The lighting was dim.

Filled with a romantic atmosphere.

This was a couple-themed restaurant. Rhodey led the way, and Gwen didn't know where Rhodey was taking her to eat.

Only after arriving at this restaurant did she realize that everyone here seemed to be couples.

This made Gwen blush a little.

Fortunately, the restaurant's lighting was dim, so others couldn't see her blushing.

"What would you like to eat?"

The two sat facing each other, and Rhodey looked up to ask Gwen.

"Let me see."

Gwen took the menu and flipped through it.

She found that all the dishes on it were very expensive.

The price of a single dish was more than her intern's salary for a week!

Although Gwen's father was Director George, as an incorruptible Director, George's earnings were genuinely not much.

At least compared to his peers who had other sources of income, he was already considered low-income.

Therefore;

Gwen had never been to such a high-end restaurant before, and for a moment, she didn't know what to order.

Rhodey obviously saw Gwen's hesitation.

"How about this, let me guess what you like to eat?"

Rhodey said.

Hearing that, Gwen looked at him and then nodded.

"Okay, then you order for me."

She said.
