this afternoon.

Emanuel sat in the back of the car with Steve beside him, and Coffey drove the car in the driver's seat.

His itinerary this afternoon was a charity event that had been arranged last month. He was going to an elementary school in Queens, donating a new teaching building, and giving speeches to those children by the way.

Originally, Emanuel did not need to go to similar activities in person, but this charity event is different.

Two months ago, in a knowledge contest sponsored by the Green Group, this elementary school defeated a group of noble schools by an overwhelming advantage and won the championship.

She even defeated the representative team of the school where Emmanuel's niece was, and made little Aina, who had prepared for a long time and was full of confidence, take the runner-up, and was so angry that she went home and dropped the Golden Doudou.

Emanuel even remembered the name of the little guy who made little Aina so angry that she was crying and sneezing: Peter Parker.

That's why Emmanuel is interested in this elementary school and the participating teams of their knowledge competition. Going to school in such an elementary school with scarce educational resources can still defeat the representative team of aristocratic schools with abundant educational resources. It can be seen that the participating teams are genuine. There are geniuses, who doesn't like geniuses?

He went to donate and give a speech this time, on the one hand, he affirmed the winners, and on the other hand, he was doing charity.

On the other hand, I also want to express an attitude, that is, the Green Group doesn't care about their background, as long as they are talented people, they are eager for them.

Regardless of whether it is profitable or not, the image still needs to be created.

There was soothing piano music playing in the car, and it was afternoon again, which made Emmanuel, who hadn't had much rest in the past few days, feel drowsy.

He glanced at Steve who was sitting next to him reading a magazine, and asked vigorously, "Where do you live?"

Steve looked up and said, "Brooklyn."

"It's a bit far from Manhattan, is it the residence arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Emanuel asked.

Steve nodded.

"Have you considered moving to this side of Manhattan?" Emanuel asked. "The housing company will provide it."

Steve thought for a while, then shook his head: "Don't be so troublesome, I can live anywhere."

"Brooklyn is at least an hour's drive from Green Building," Emanuel said.

"It's enough for me to run in the morning for 10 minutes," Steve says.

Emanuel: "..."

He couldn't help but look up at Steve, and if he didn't know in his heart that this guy was a superhero injected with super soldier serum, he would even have kicked him out of the car.

—Where is the fool who brags and doesn't write drafts!

Coffey glanced at Steve from the rearview mirror admiringly. Steve noticed this keenly. Before he could look back, Coffey shrank his gaze back.

If it wasn't for the boss being in the car, Steve doubts he'd just turn around and blow rainbow farts at himself.

"I have learned about the history of World War II. You... are a great hero." Emmanuel said suddenly, "You are very courageous and not afraid of sacrifice."

Steve was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the boss who didn't seem to like to talk about things outside of work would suddenly say such a sentence.

On the contrary, I didn't know how to respond, so I said very humbly: "I just made a choice that many people would make."

Emmanuel smiled: "No, you don't have to be humble. If it were me, I might not make the choice you made."

I should have jumped before the plane crashed...Better to fall into the ocean and swim home than to be frozen in ice for 70 years and almost die.

But since the captain didn't make that choice back then, maybe he had some reasons... The corners of Emmanuel's mouth couldn't help but bend.

And this smile was understood by Steve as self-deprecating, so he half comforted and half explained: "Actually, when they have to make a desperate situation, many people will involuntarily make decisions that they can't think of. .”

"Really?" Emanuel couldn't deny it.

A person who can maintain rational thinking at all times will not appear "involuntary".

Steve knew that the big boss probably didn't agree with his words, so he said, "Yes, maybe you will encounter this situation in the future...Of course, I hope you never encounter it."

After opening the head, the next topic can be easily drawn out.

The two sat behind the silver Mercedes-Benz, chatting about the history of 70 years ago.

And Steve deserves to be a person who lived in that era. He knew everything about World War II, from the world situation to the price of gasoline, and even the Green Group.

"Green Group was not so famous at that time." Steve recalled, "70 years ago, it seemed to have just been established, and it was a company in the clothing industry."

"You know all this? I thought Captain America was going to fight Hitler in addition to selling government bonds." Emanuel was surprised.

Steve choked on the "government bonds", and his unbearable black history of stage busking suddenly appeared in his mind, and he said after a while: "Because the Green Group provided [-] sets of brand-new The military uniforms are of good quality and cheap, so I am very impressed.”

"There is indeed such a thing." Emmanuel nodded.

Such a past event was recorded in the family tree of their Green family. It seems that because of this business, the Green Group made a lot of money, and at the same time received support from the government. Since then, it has started to grow bigger and bigger like a snowball.

"And..." Steve paused again strangely, and then said: "At that time, my main task was to go to the battlefield to fight, not to sell national debt."

Emanuel: "I know..."

Steve glanced at Emanuel, and found that the other party only expressed his affirmation normally, but for some reason he felt a little perfunctory and depressed, as if he had punched the cotton.

You know a shield!

"In other words, the value of the bonds that the captain bought back then has multiplied many times." Kofi couldn't help but interjected.

"Yeah..." Emmanuel said, "Arthur has collected a lot of piles at home, and he still refuses to let me see them."

"If I could travel back to World War II now, I would ask my great-grandfather to buy a few more bonds from that time, and take a few more photos of Captain America's performance at that time, and now I will be rich."

Coffey began to have sweet dreams, "But having said that, I would not be willing to sell it if I had it. It has to be framed and hung on the wall as a family heirloom."

A question mark slowly appeared above Steve's head: "..."

Emanuel smiled: "Why don't I send you a bond at the time as a year-end reward? It's a denomination of one thousand dollars."

"Praise the boss! The little one must devote himself to the Green Group!" Coffey blushed immediately, and quickly flattered him.

"Then you should drive well first." Emanuel said with a smile.

Steve, who was watching from the sidelines: "..."

So we can't get over the bond issue, right?

The three of them chatted one after another, and soon arrived at their destination.

The seven or eight cars following the silver Mercedes-Benz stopped, and Emanuel's door was pulled open, and he walked out of the car with slender legs.

Steve followed closely behind. Putting on formal clothes, he stood beside Emanuel wearing sunglasses, bringing an inestimable sense of security.

At this time, the principal of this little-known private elementary school and a group of high-level officials stood at the entrance of the elementary school to welcome Emmanuel and a group of people from the Green Group brought by him, as well as a group of reporters carrying long guns and short cannons. As soon as Emmanuel got out of the car, the crackling flash flooded him.

Both Emmanuel and Coffey were familiar with this situation, but Steve was not used to it.

Emanuel nodded to the reporters with a smile, sparked a photo frenzy, glanced back at Steve, and whispered in his ear, "Cover your face, I don't want to turn a charity event into a fan meeting meeting."

Hearing this, Steve quickly pushed up his sunglasses with a serious expression on his face.

Soon, Emmanuel, surrounded by a group of people in suits and leather shoes, came to the school auditorium.

After he greeted the principal with a smile, he walked onto the podium at the front of the auditorium. Looking at the dark seats filled with children below him, he made some simple opening remarks, and then began to use some easy-to-understand language. Tell these children about future trends.

Obviously, these children had never seen such a big battle. They were all sitting upright, with suppressed expressions of excitement on their little faces.

Steve stood not far from him, listening intently with the kids.

Because the audience is very young children, Emanuel only said some very easy-to-understand things. After talking about the current form, he told some interesting stories in the form of In this way, children are interested in all the industries covered by the Green Group.

The children listened with gusto.

Steve couldn't help but sigh, he has seen many high-ranking and wealthy people like Emanuel, but they can switch roles so freely while maintaining their own dignity.

Even someone who is revered and loved by a group of underage children, besides Howard Stark, he seems to be no other person.

What is contained in this is not only affinity, but also profound knowledge and wisdom.

Emanuel's speech was not much, and it ended in about 10 minutes. His last sentence brought smiles from the group of children and the cheering principals and teachers standing aside: "I will Donate a new teaching building in this school and set up scholarships, and any student who has achieved outstanding performance will have the opportunity to receive it." Emmanuel said.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, the big boss who looked as handsome as a star burst out with a more dazzling golden light, and he couldn't look directly at him for a while.

In the dark crowd, Peter Parker, who was only eight years old, also raised his head and looked at Emanuel, his eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars.
