It's just an ordinary visit to relatives and friends, not involved in doing errands and helping, and when we chat, it's natural to talk about trivial things.

"Speaking of which, there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year. Brother Shi, how did you arrange it this year? Are you staying here or going back to China?"

"Uh." Scratching his head, Shi Xiaolei said with a smile, "I haven't thought about it yet. But looking at it now, I probably won't go back."

"Really..." Hearing what Shi Xiaolei said, Peng Mingwei continued: "It's better than this. On New Year's Eve, our consulate will hold an event to invite some compatriots who live nearby to gather here. If you haven't made an appointment yet. How come, why don't you come over here and join us in the fun?"

To say whether he is happy or not, Shi Xiaolei is quite willing in his heart.

But if you think about it carefully, on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, it's best to stay with your family. Come to the consulate to participate in the event, no matter how lively and harmonious the atmosphere is, it still feels better than staying at home... Well, the main thing is to suddenly recall that I seem to have already agreed with the ship girls before, to be together on the island New Years. Shi Xiaolei hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "For activities or something, let's forget it. Brother Peng, you know, I'm not very suitable for that kind of occasion. Besides, I have a lot of family members... It's not suitable to bring them together. It's not appropriate to live separately. Hehe, I'll stay at home and celebrate the New Year with them. "

It's not a task, it's just an invitation between friends.

"Okay." Peng Mingwei didn't insist: "If you need anything, please say hello at any time. I mean the New Year's goods, which can be bought here in New York, but they are not complete. Compared with the domestic ones, they are more authentic. By the way, New Year's Do you need someone to help you with dinner? The two chefs I mentioned just now will not return to China until after the Lantern Festival. If you need it, I can help you and say hello."

"Huh?" Shi Xiaolei was somewhat surprised: "Didn't you say they have a mission?"

"You mean the party on New Year's Eve?" Peng Mingwei laughed: "The external exchange meeting is scheduled for New Year's Eve. When New Year's Eve, we will cooperate with CCTV to conduct live broadcasts and will not invite outsiders to come."

"Is that so..."

"On New Year's Eve, neither of the two masters had any assignments. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was also prepared by the overseas Chinese who came to the party. Hehe, doing it yourself, the sense of participation must be stronger than sitting down and waiting to eat. The picture is One 'increase the sense of belonging', of course, will not let the chefs do everything." Peng Mingwei explained a few words with a smile, and then made a summary: "All in all, the chefs had nothing to do that day, and they had to wait. Here. If you need it, you should be able to squeeze some time out to arrange it for you."

Do you want to accept this kindness and invite two master chefs from China to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner at home?

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Xiaolei felt a little itchy in his heart and moved somewhat.

After all, the master chefs are the official state banquet chefs. Not to mention how delicious the meals they make, it is an honor to be able to invite them to their home to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. ...Although not Stark's face-saving personality, as a young man, Shi Xiaolei inevitably has a little vanity in his heart.

But on the other hand, if you really invite the chef to the house, things don't seem to be that simple.

The reason is obvious.

According to the head count, the ship girls on Nihao Island are the big ones. In other words, if you really want to reunite with your family and get together for the New Year, you must give priority to going to Nihau Island instead of setting the location in New York and letting the hundreds of ship girls on the island all come here. ... Taking a step back, there is no New Year's Eve holiday arrangement on Nihao Island. Even if Shi Xiaolei can use his shareholder status to dispatch some people and let them temporarily replace the positions of the ship girls, in the end, the ship girls will always be Can't be off work for too long.

It's not easy to let the ship girls come to New York, and they can't reveal the existence of the portal to the two chefs who are ordinary people, and let them cross the portal to Nihao Island, so...

"No, no." After holding back the impulse in his heart, Shi Xiaolei finally shook his head: "Like you said, the New Year's Eve dinner is about the atmosphere, and the taste is second. Haha, come on by yourself, no Trouble the two masters."

"Then I'll talk about it next time." Peng Mingwei nodded: "This time, let's get to know each other first. It's the same when you go back to China and go directly to their store to eat. By the way, do you plan to return to China this year? I mean Years later."

"This is..."

"If you have time, let's go back." Seeing Shi Xiaolei's hesitation, Peng Mingwei smiled and persuaded again: "You have set up such a big stall in China, and you have to go back occasionally to check it out, you can't be a throwaway all the time. Don’t you ask the shopkeeper? Let’s just say that in February of this year, several more teaching buildings will be completed and will be put into use after the school starts.”

"You don't have to attend the inauguration ceremonies of the Hope Primary Schools in the past~lightnovelpub.net~ After all, the locations of those primary schools are a bit remote, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. But this time, all the completed and put into use It's a teaching building in a university... it's not a barren mountain, it's very convenient to go back and forth, as a donor, you have to show up at the scene to cut a ribbon, right?"

"Don't." The reason is correct, but Shi Xiaolei waved his hands again and again: "I can't adapt to that kind of situation, so let the person in charge of the foundation go."

"Instead of asking them to come forward, I personally think it's better for you to go there." Peng Mingwei smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just think those few people are foreigners, and it's up to them to come forward. , maybe there will be some ambiguity."

The charitable fund was created by Shi Xiaolei and Stark together, although in terms of the amount of money injected, it was Stark who provided more. However, according to the proportion of shares, Shi Xiaolei accounted for the majority.

Don't get me wrong, Shi Xiaolei didn't eat too much Stark. In fact, the reason why Stark paid so much more was because Shi Xiaolei gave a lot of benefits. For example, dinosaur genetic samples, or the opportunity to go to Asgard, etc.

All in all, 60% of the shares in the foundation belong to Shi Xiaolei.

According to this equity allocation, donations to the teaching buildings of several universities can also be regarded as donations by Shi Xiaolei.

However, those who are stationed in China and are responsible for running the foundation are foreigners who were dispatched from the Stark Group. In other words, although these foreigners are actually working for Shi Xiaolei, for outsiders who don't know the inside story... If these people are asked to cut the ribbon in place of Shi Xiaolei, others may misunderstand and think that those teaching buildings were donated by foreigners. .

The teaching building of the university is of extraordinary significance. Whether it was established by donations from Chinese people, or money from foreigners, has completely different meanings.

Here's why Peng Mingwei brought this up.
