Chapter 237: The Easiest Warmth
Alvin had a drink with Stark at the bar.
Stark looked at Alvin with some emotion and said, "I feel very pressured to be this honorary principal now!" As if I hadn't done enough! β
Alvin looked at Stark and said with some amusement, "What are you thinking?" Man, I've never met a more generous guy than you, your joining has solved the school's big problem!
Now that two new buildings are under construction, your investment has improved the treatment of teachers throughout the school, and students have benefited from it, what more would you like to do? β
Stark glanced at John, who was excitedly on the phone, and said, "Maybe I can come up with more money, we can expand the size of the school and help the families and children who need help!"
You know! It's not too hard for me! β
Alvin listened and poured Stark a new glass of whiskey, and said seriously, "Don't do that, man! Your donation to the school is enough, I can't think of any more need to expand the school!
Not all children fit into a community school, this school was built to help kids in Hell's Kitchen! Their living environment is special!
They don't need such good hardware, and the current community school is good enough for them! They just need a place to get rid of the malice that Hell's Kitchen has poured on them!
As for the children from other places, they don't need to come here at all, and they might have a better choice!
You are always too anxious, but many things cannot be solved by one person with a lot of money, it requires everyone's efforts, listen to me, let's do the things in front of us!
I'm not averse to helping families in special circumstances, like John's family, but that's a very small minority. β
Stark thought about it seriously, nodded, and said, "What you said makes sense, but I stick to my idea, since the capacity of community schools is limited. Maybe I can go back and ask Pepper to start a fund specifically to help kids in need! β
Alvin raised his glass and said with a smile, "That's your choice!" Great idea! If America's rich guys thought like you, the world would be a lot better! To you! For your kindness! β
Stark raised his glass and touched Alvin, and said with a smile: "I donated two teaching buildings and 20 million dollars to the school before, but you weren't so polite, or was it just my delusion?"
Alvin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Voluntary donations are not the same thing as passive donations!" You have to set up a fund to do good, and it is your kindness that works! Your original intention to help the community school was because we are friends and you are helping friends!
Your starting point for throwing money is different, haha! Now that you're a philanthropist, I have to be respectful of a philanthropist! Ha ha! β
Stark pursed his lips and tilted his head, shrugged his shoulders and said with some pride: "Yes! You bastard have to treat me with a little respect, I've never been treated like a billionaire with you! β
Saying that, Stark shook the wine glass in his hand and said, "Next time, remember to keep a bottle of good wine here, and when Mr. Stark comes, you will treat him with good wine!" This thing is terrible! β
Alvin watched in disbelief as Stark switched freely from philanthropist mode to bastard rich mode, without a stiff pause in the middle, the switch was very natural!
couldn't help but raise his middle finger, shook it defiantly at Stark, and said, "I shouldn't praise you, Tony, you're a bastard!" See who that is? β
Saying that, Alvin pointed to the door of the restaurant, Steve, who was walking in, and said to Stark, "Your uncle is here!" Go and say hello! β
Stark saw Steve walking in, laughed, and exclaimed, "Hi ~ Captain, you don't look very good!" Ha ha! β
Steve looked at the bustling restaurant, ignored the rude Stark, greeted Alvin, and said, "What am I missing?" β
Alvin shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, the story is not over yet, you can stay and take a look!" Seriously, Stark is a little rude, but you really don't look very good! What's wrong? β
Steve shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's nothing, it's just that April has been a little angry in the past two days, you should know the reason!" This bothers me a little, why is the girl so troublesome now?"
As he spoke, Steve glanced at the unkind-looking Fawkes and shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, you are definitely not included in that!" β
Fox nodded with satisfaction and said seriously: "You embarrassed April on the national live broadcast, it's normal for her to be angry, replace me, I'll give you a shot." Steve, I didn't expect you to be such a jerk! β
Steve shook his head, smiled, and whispered, "Why is no one believing to be honest?" Storytelling isn't what I'm good at! β
Alvin winked at Steve, laughed, and said, "Next time, remember to make up nonsense and go on TV, people now love to listen to nonsense, because nonsense is better!" β
Stark quickly took a glass and poured Steve a glass of whiskey and said, "That's right! I also love to listen to nonsense, and people in the company usually talk nonsense when they encounter me, especially my financial director, but I do like to listen! There is not much difference between earning 9.8 billion and earning 10 billion! β
Steve was stunned for a moment with the whiskey handed over by Stark, and said with a smile: "When did the restaurant start drinking whiskey in the morning?" β
As he spoke, Steve drained a large glass of whiskey, sighed, and said, "I really need this thing now, though!" β
Alvin looked at Steve on the verge of falling out of love funny, this is so interesting, if Captain America is dumped, this is an event that needs to be recorded in American history!
Haha, Alvin looked at Steve and said, "Maybe you can talk to April, anyway, you are the hero of the Battle of Manhattan, she can't just dump you, haha!" β
Steve shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "No, she just said she needs to calm down!" I guess she's not in a very good position at the TV station. Man, do me a favor and give me an interview with April to relieve me of the pressure a bit, it's really a hassle to find a journalist girlfriend! β
Alvin glanced at Stark and said with a smile, "Why not Stark?" It's much better to do an interview with him than to interview me as a mech pilot! β
Steve glanced at Stark, shook his head, and said, "People are all too familiar with Stark, and someone from Apple's TV station has already interviewed Tony!" β
Stark glared, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "That's a shame! I thought I could help you, but now, um~ Alvin is also a good choice, Manhattan Tomahawk, wow~"
Cassel had been staring at Steve from the moment he entered the door, muttering, "Captain America, Steve Rogers, intrigue, fight." Something like that.
At the right moment, Cassel joined Alvin in their chat with a wine glass.
Squeezing his eyes at Alvin, Cassel stretched out his hand to Steve and said with a smile: "Hello, captain, wow, it's hard for me to imagine seeing you here, you're my idol!" Oh, my name is Rick Cassel, and it's a pleasure to meet you! β
Steve was stunned by what Cassel said, and none of the people he met believed that he was the real Captain America, and then a person suddenly appeared and said that he was an admirer, which caught him off guard.
Shaking Kassel's hand, Steve smiled and said, "I'm just a veteran, not an idol, I'm normal here, I live next door!"
You can call me Steve, nice to meet you, Cassel! β
Alvin glanced at Beckett, who was obviously a little anxious, touched Stark beside him, and said softly, "Give Harpy a call!" Our Officer Beckett is in a hurry!
Hurry up and let Harpy come over and let him know that it's time to wake up from his movie dream!
Look at what the hell the investment projects he is looking for, the producer is a street fighter who has been killed, and the actor is a madman with a sick brain!
What can they do in the end, Batman vs. Joker?"
Stark took out the phone and nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Yes, what kind of good movie can this idiot make Harpy, he can't even read the script!"
He thought that the movie could be made for a little money, which was indeed a bit naΓ―ve! β
As he spoke, Alvin saw the door of the restaurant, Robert, the owner of the supermarket, leading two children into the restaurant, the boy was a little taller, 12.3 years old, and the girl was estimated to be only 7.8 years old, about the same age as Kassel's daughter Alexis!
Alvin has a lot of respect for Robert, a really good guy who has a lot of problems with young people and he's always helping them find their way.
For example, Kenny, Kenny Sr.'s nephew, that stupid big man can now settle accounts. In order to thank Robert, the excited old Kent also turned out a 10-year-old bottle of whiskey from the cellar of the Scottish gangster William Sr., and went to Robert to get drunk!
Alvin stood up and walked over to greet Robert, shook hands with him and hugged him, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?" Isn't the supermarket busy? β
Robert grinned and showed 8 neat teeth, pointed to John, who was still covering his face and sobbing, and said with a smile: "As a responsible boss, I have to care about the condition of my employees, you say yes!" β
Alvin laughed and said, "That's right! You're a good boss, if you don't mind, go over for a drink, although the time is a little inappropriate, haha! β
As he spoke, Alvin looked at the two John's children. The boy dragged the girl at this moment, stood beside his father, blocked in front of John with his thin body, and looked at the people in the restaurant angrily, he thought that the people here were bullying his father!
Alvin smiled at Robert and complimented, "What a kind of boy!" I think he's going to fit in Hell's Kitchen! β
Robert showed a formulaic gentle smile, looked at the stubborn boy, and whispered to Alvin: "This is a little hedgehog, you have to smile and let him know that you are a friend!"
This is the easiest warmth he can get! β
