It could be said that Max had transformed from a chicken into a phoenix, taking a massive leap from the grassroots directly into the upper class!
Upon seeing that his new bosses were Ryan and Harry, Max instantly recognized them as the Great Spider-Man and Spider-Man who had asked him for directions the previous night, based on their height difference and physiques!
In response, Ryan, who already intended to cultivate Max as one of his own, didn't deny his guess. Instead, he openly admitted his and Harry's identities.
However, he corrected him, stating that he and Harry weren't some 'Great Spider-Man' or 'Little Spider Hero'.
There was currently only one Spider-Man in this World, and that was his cousin and Harry's best friend, Peter Parker.
He was Venom, and Harry was... uh, Little Green Spider?
Ryan's undisguised trust meant that Max, who had already begun to admire Ryan the previous night, wasn't disappointed that he wasn't Spider-Man. Instead, his admiration and faith in Ryan grew even stronger!
In Ryan, he felt the attention, care, importance, and trust that he had never experienced before!
Looking at the fanatical look in Max's eyes, Ryan even suspected that if he told Max to kill his own mother right now, he would do it without hesitation... This made Ryan sigh inwardly; Max really was his Louis, so easy to fool!
It's just that compared to Boss Napoleon's Louis, Max's combat power was a bit low.
However, that wasn't irreparable... As long as Max successfully transformed into the Electro from the original story, he would be a general surpassing Louis!
In fact, this general's abilities would even surpass Peter's and Harry's!
As for how to turn Max into Electro... Ryan already had the answer in his heart.
In the movie, didn't Max accidentally fall into a tank of electric eels while repairing the power system of the Oscorp Tower, which then caused his mutation into Electro?
This time, because of Ryan, although Max was no longer a low-level employee and didn't need to personally perform tasks like repairing the power system...
It just so happened that the Oscorp Tower, now renamed Parker Building, needed its power system converted to run on an arc reactor!
Naturally, the original power system had to be personally dismantled by Max, the designer and the Security Supervisor of the Electrical Department.
Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to turn Max into Electro?
So, after calming Max's excited emotions, Ryan assigned this task to him.
Max, who was already 100% loyal to Ryan, naturally didn't suspect any foul play and accepted the task with a confident pat on his chest.
Ryan showed absolute trust in Max and, after giving some encouraging words about a promising future, let Max leave.
As for whether Max would still 'accidentally' fall into the eel tank after deviating from the original plot, that was the least of Ryan's worries.
He would. Even if there was no accident, Ryan would separate Riot to create one... but there was no rush; Stark's large-scale arc reactor wouldn't arrive for another two days.
Next, Ryan continued to talk with some of the scientific research talents from Osborn Enterprises whom he valued, giving promotions and raises where they were due.
These two fundamental desires of the working class were enough to win over these talents, transforming them from Osborn Enterprises personnel into Parker Industries personnel.
After Ryan had stabilized the hearts of the talents he valued, he prepared to select new employees for some core positions.
After all, he had fired a large number of people who got in through connections or were just slacking off, so many positions at Parker Industries were currently vacant.
For example, his private secretary position was very much in need of someone.
Moreover, it would be best to find a strong female secretary with abilities similar to Tony's personal assistant, Pepper.
Although he had founded Parker Industries, he wouldn't be putting much of his mind into it in the future, so he needed a capable assistant to help him manage the company.
Just like how most of Stark Industries' affairs are actually managed and handled by Pepper, with Tony only needing to sign important documents occasionally.
The private secretary assistant he wanted was exactly that kind of strong woman.
For this position, the first person Ryan thought of was naturally Gwen.
After all, Gwen was capable enough, and he trusted her enough.
But then Ryan gave up on the idea. After all, Gwen was still in school; although she had started university and had more free time, she still couldn't work full-time.
He even thought about whether to let his mother, May, help him handle the company's daily affairs.
Don't just look at May as an ordinary Nurse in a hospital now; she was actually a hidden strong woman. In many comics, she was an important support for Spider-Man, helping him deal with a lot of trouble.
It was just that life had forced her to become an ordinary old woman... As for his old man, Ben, he really wasn't suited for managing a company. He was just an ordinary newspaper worker; letting him manage a company would be like a Dragon King marrying into a wealthy family, getting slapped in the face and feeling aggrieved the whole way through.
Besides, thinking about it, he hadn't had time to explain the sudden creation of the company to May and Ben yet. Suddenly letting the old couple manage such a huge company, he was afraid May and Ben's hearts wouldn't be able to take it for a moment.
Furthermore, the old couple had been busy all their lives, and Ryan didn't want them to continue toiling for his sake; they should enjoy their lives now.
So he passed on that idea as well.
In the end, following Harry's suggestion, Ryan honestly recruited from the public.
Direct recruitment by the BOSS—if you have the ability, come!
And wouldn't you know it, as soon as Ryan posted his demanding requirements for a private secretary, people quickly started sending in their resumes.
With a quick glance, Ryan immediately passed over a large group of people. With his eyesight, the profiles of these rejected people were either faked or exaggerated; there was simply no need to even meet them!
Then, Ryan passed over another large group of people who didn't catch his eye—to put it bluntly, they were ugly.
After all, how could a private secretary be ugly?
After Ryan went through layers of screening, only two people remained who both met the ability requirements and caught his eye.
The names of the two were: Natalie Rushman and Felicia Hardy.
The reason for keeping these two was not only because their abilities and looks were up to par, but more importantly, neither of them was an ordinary person!
First was this Natalie Rushman; the red-haired beauty in the photo was clearly Natasha Romanoff, the legendary Black Widow.
