~6 min read 1,147 words

Osborn Tower.

Cross-species genetics project laboratory.

Dr. Curt Connors looked somewhat nervously at the young man accompanied by Felicia Hardy.

He already knew the news of Norman Osborn’s recovery, and he had also received notification that the cross-species genetics project he was in charge of would be fully managed by Felicia Hardy from now on.

He was worried that the experiment would be affected, so he had prepared relevant documents and speeches early on. However, the person truly in charge was not Felicia Hardy, but this young man flipping through the files.

This young man is named Su Quan. He holds no position at Osborn Corp, but according to Felicia Hardy, he is the real person in charge—his future financier!

"Snap!"

Su Quan gently closed the folder, looked up at the uneasy Dr. Curt Connors, and said with a smile: "If the core problem of the decay rate algorithm isn't solved, your experiment will never have a chance of success."

Dr. Curt Connors composed himself. Being able to identify the core of the problem from the 'written' documents he provided meant this person was an expert.

"Indeed!"

"Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to overcome this problem."

Su Quan said with a smile: "Dr. Curt Connors, don't worry. I won't cancel your research project. On the contrary, I will increase support for you."

"Really?" Dr. Curt Connors widened his eyes in disbelief.

Felicia Hardy frowned and reminded him: "Dr. Connors, are you doubting my boss?"

Dr. Curt Connors hurriedly said: "I’m not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Good grief, the triple denial.

"I was just surprised—yes, just surprised!" Dr. Curt Connors looked at Su Quan excitedly: "Thank you very much for your trust and support. I can guarantee that the experiment will be a success!"

Dr. Curt Connors let out a long, secret sigh of relief; his heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down.

Following that was boundless joy and excitement.

The experimental project was saved, and unexpectedly, he had gained strong support. The anxiety and worry of this period were finally alleviated, and he could continue his research with peace of mind.

However, he didn't dare to be completely at ease. After all, he didn't know the situation of this new financier and boss. What if he changed his mind later?

He still had to serve him well.

"Mr. Su Quan, do—do you have any requirements for the experiment or other aspects?" Dr. Curt Connors asked tentatively.

Su Quan shook his head: "I will notify you if I have any requirements."

"Felicia, go with Dr. Connors to understand the situation in the laboratory and see which areas need additional funding."

"Yes."

Felicia Hardy signaled to Dr. Curt Connors and left the office.

Su Quan’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the desktop, making a *thump, thump, thump* sound.

"Martina Bancroft and Anne Weying are the heroines of Morbius and Venom respectively. The plots of these two parts should not have started yet. I can make contact in advance; there is no rush to intervene."

"The 'vampire' Morbius was born from an experiment, and Venom came from outer space. When the time comes, the plot will naturally begin."

"So the current focus should still be on The Amazing Spider-Man Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy..."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, and after a few seconds, the door was gently pushed open.

"Dr. Connors—huh? Why is it you!" Gwen Stacy looked at Su Quan with a face full of surprise.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Su Quan didn't expect the person entering to be Gwen Stacy, but since she was interning at Osborn Corp and was Dr. Curt Connors’ intern, it wasn't surprising to see her here.

"We meet again, Gwen Stacy," Su Quan greeted with a smile.

Gwen Stacy, wearing a ponytail, a white lab coat, and knee-high boots, said with a beaming smile: "I am Dr. Curt Connors’ intern. What about you? Why are you in Dr. Connors’ office?"

"Dr. Connors’ experimental project will be fully managed by Felicia Hardy from now on, and she is my assistant. Can you guess why I am here?" Su Quan said with a smile.

Gwen Stacy said in surprise: "So you are a company executive!"

Executive?

Su Quan didn't explain, but asked teasingly: "If I said I chose to take charge of Dr. Connors’ project just for you, would you go on a date with me?"

"I don't accept any form of workplace unspoken rules," Gwen Stacy said with a smile.

"Is that so..."

Su Quan smiled and raised his wrist. The Void Battle Bead instantly projected a virtual dialing page. He glanced at the surprised Gwen Stacy and pressed a string of numbers.

"This—is this my phone number?" Just as Gwen Stacy was thinking this, her phone rang.

She took it out and saw that the name displayed was actually Su Quan.

Gwen Stacy remembered very clearly that she didn't know his number, let alone save it.

This... this is not scientific!

What was even less scientific was that when she subconsciously answered the phone, the call actually went through!

She looked at Su Quan talking to her while listening to the voice coming synchronously from her phone.

"Now, can you go on a date with me?"

"..."

Gwen Stacy was silent for a few seconds, then smiled sweetly: "Yes, but you have to tell me what exactly is going on."

"Deal!"

Su Quan hung up the communication and said with a smile: "Date first, I’ll tell you when it’s over."

"Why?" Gwen Stacy asked, puzzled.

Su Quan shrugged: "I’m afraid you won't dare to go on a date with me after hearing it. After all, what I’m going to say might be too shocking for you."

Gwen Stacy said disbelievingly: "I suspect you are lying to me! What kind of thing could be so shocking that I wouldn't dare to go on a date with you?"

"Could it be that you are an alien? Or—are you BoysLove?"

Su Quan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Does your dad know you’re this cheeky?"

Gwen Stacy shrugged and said with a smile: "He is the Police Commissioner of New York, busy every day ensuring the safety of New York citizens, so—yes, he doesn't know."

I really didn't expect you to be this kind of Gwen Stacy!

Su Quan laughed dumbly. This Gwen Stacy was completely different from Spider-Gwen; her personality was positive, cheerful, generous, and her life was going well. The whole person radiated the charm of self-confidence.

Beautiful, cheerful, confident, generous—who wouldn't like a girl like this?

This is the Gwen Stacy I wanted, the one I wanted—Spider-Gwen!


— Author's Notes —

PS: Posting a picture of Gwen Stacy. Among the heroines of the three versions of Spider-Man, I personally think Gwen is the most beautiful and charming.
