Chapter 27

Went to the Actors Guild again, preparing to use the new moves he learned to tease Marian, and by the way, see if there are any new recruitment messages.

But the clerk sister who always sits behind the counter was nowhere to be found today, replaced by an uncle wearing square-framed glasses.

Henry, who didn't want to tease the uncle, had to give up, nodded silently, and took it as a greeting.

It’s hard to say if it was disappointment or expected, but there were no new suitable jobs on the bulletin board, and there was no news of audition invitations at the guild. Anyway, it was another day of returning empty-handed.

Speaking of joining the *Hard to Kill* production team, it was to add a good-looking record to his resume.

But being dismissed halfway... this doesn't seem very good. In the future, should he add this experience to his actor profile? Henry was puzzled.

Bought the ingredients for dinner, Henry, who didn't want to report to the library, returned to his long-lost rental early.

This nearly a month, it wasn't that no one lived there. When the film production team was on vacation, Henry would come back, so the house didn't have a month’s worth of dust.

Using his super speed, Henry quickly cleaned the house once. Then he put the things he just bought that needed refrigeration or freezing into the refrigerator. He took out a beer by the way.

Actually, Henry wouldn't get drunk from drinking; he just wanted to drink cold drinks. To hell with the theory of drinking warm water!

Fatty happy water (cola) is also an option, but the price of some country-brand beers is wilder than cola and bottled water.

It really is America!

And after Henry’s analysis, there is no "tech-heavy" stuff in beer. The only reason it sells so cheaply and hasn't become popular across the U.S. is that this stuff is actually bitter!

In short, Henry can only choose between happy water that is sweet to the point of being cloying and beer that is bitter and refreshing, or else he has to drink water from the tap.

It’s not that the tap water quality isn't good enough, so Henry doesn't drink water often. It’s that the pipes in this apartment are old, and there is always a rusty smell in the water. For a Kryptonian with super taste, this is a bit of a torture.

Maybe he should go buy a water purifier, or make one himself. Henry thought so.

Just as he wanted to find a record to play, to immerse his body and mind in music, the Kryptonian who was implementing a salted-fish life didn't expect the phone ringtone on the side to ring first.

"Hello, hello."

A voice came from the phone. "Hey, Henry, brother, I heard you’re in big trouble."

"Channing? Motherfucker, is the news spreading this fast? I just came back from San Diego this morning."

"This is Hollywood. Those gossip reporters don't have as much circulation as people in the circle." On the phone, the leader of the action team he had worked with said triumphantly.

"What? Is there news in the circle now about joining forces to block me?"

"There is such a saying; after all, the trouble you caused this time is really too big. But the main person involved didn't have such a request, which made everyone not know how to start."

"Oh, why didn't you think about killing by mistake and not letting go. Just wipe me out in one go, clean and neat."

"You don't know about this. People in Hollywood have never been able to grasp the thoughts of the Stark family. They haven't done less of the kind of things where they thought they got a hint, but were ridiculed by people in their family instead."

"People in the Stark family?" This is the point Henry is curious about.

Tony Stark is still in college—Henry didn't realize that the other party was actually pursuing a doctoral degree—unless this guy started hunting for beauty in Hollywood before his hair grew, he wouldn't leave any legends.

So the one who can make Hollywood people change color at the mention of him is Howard Stark.

According to the information before his crossing, Howard Stark’s design prototype is a real tycoon in the United States—Howard Hughes.

This person is a famous business tycoon, pilot, aviation engineer, philanthropist, and film producer. He once operated one of the eight major film studios in the 30s, RKO Pictures. He can be considered a Hollywood person with a red-rooted seedling.

In other words, the Howard Stark of this world actually has a similar experience to Howard Hughes.

As if to confirm Henry’s guess, Channing said on the phone:

"You don't think Stark Industries has nothing to do with Hollywood, do you? The best photographic equipment is still Stark Industries’ products to this day. The latest technology also starts from Stark Industries.

"The previous generation of Old Master Stark not only served as a producer and photographer, but even starred in his own movies. Not to mention how many beauties of the Golden Age became members of his scandal list."

Old Stark plays wildly, Little Stark follows suit; this father and son are biological, there should be no mistake.

"Okay. People in the Stark family are freaks." Henry concluded. He added: "Then Channing, you called today, wouldn't it be to mock me? Things have spread like this, the truth is no longer important."

"Hey, brother, of course not. Your matter is actually very simple to solve. Just go and apologize to Tony Stark, bow your head; the other party didn't say anything else, and this matter will pass. You wouldn't even refuse to do this, would you?"

Should he... agree? Henry pondered in his heart.

Supposedly, to show the backbone of a Kryptonian, the only time Tony Stark wants to see his forehead after bowing his head is when he treats the other party to a headbutt!

But this is not the way to roll in real society.

Based on his ten-plus years of experience as a beast of burden before crossing, bowing his head certainly won't kill him. It has nothing to do with whether he is a Kryptonian in this life.

Henry’s concern is that perhaps Iron Man is not a first-tier character in the original comics. But in the early stage of the movie world, he is the well-deserved big protagonist.

Will approaching such a person violate his principle of "low-profile development"?

But before considering these things, Henry asked curiously: "Channing, are you saying you have a way to arrange for me to meet Tony Stark? Otherwise, how am I supposed to bow my head and apologize to the other party?"

"Brother, don't joke. How could I have a way to arrange such a thing? You think too highly of me. I just happen to have an opportunity here."

"What opportunity?"

Channing said seriously: "My team members occasionally guest-star as receptionists or bodyguards for some banquets. I just happened to receive a job; the participants are mainly wealthy students from Caltech, as well as their Silicon Valley alumni.

"And then some small stars and models will be arranged. Tony Stark has a high probability of attending this banquet. Do you want to come and be a receptionist and seize this opportunity?"

"Such an opportunity~." Henry dragged his voice, obviously a little reluctant.

"Okay, I’ll be honest. I don't have enough people, so just come and help me. The work isn't tiring, there are beauties to look at, and you can steal some wine."
