MTL - Druid’s Marvel Travels-Chapter 38 New York Spring Festival
"Wow, you kid still thinks of me."
The time came to the end of January 2009.
On the 26th, not only the Chinese, but the whole New York is celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Zhang had already returned to China for the Chinese New Year, and he brought a lot of recovery potions given to him by Oaks.
"Hi! Mr. Oakes, Happy New Year!"
The video call across the ocean made Oaks seem to reconnect with that magical land.
It's just a thirteen-hour time difference, so Oaks here is still seven o'clock in the morning, while Zhang's side has already had dinner.
This guy has taken this into consideration, and there is no big night video:
"Actually, I think you can come to China to celebrate the New Year with me. This year is your birth year."
"Thanks, Zhang, if there is a chance in the future, I will."
Oakes chatted with Zhang and his family in pure Chinese for a while before reminding them that they should rest.
"Don't worry, Mr. Oakes, I will cherish the work of Rendehui, and there will never be any mistakes. I am on standby 24 hours a day!"
Zhang fully understands how rare his current position is.
If it wasn't for Oaks' golden thigh, he would not necessarily be related to a behemoth like S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although the meeting with the director of SHIELD made him realize that Gugu didn't seem to be Oakes' "work", but it made him relieved.
Compared with the modified creatures in the novel, even if they are really cat demons, at least they exist naturally...
So, Zhang just listened to what the "Druid" of Oaks said about "transforming himself".
Existence is reasonable, isn't it?
"Do what you can, with Melinda and Blaise here, you can rest for a few days—
At noon today, there were 600,000 firecrackers and traditional dragon and lion dances for three hours in Roosevelt Park in lower Manhattan.
Flushing, Queens, and a three-day Chinese New Year parade—the New Year's Eve here isn't any worse than yours. "
"Wow, that sounds great, I'll pay attention to the YouTube video!"
Hanging up with Zhang's video, Oaks stretched out, poured himself a cup of coffee, and heard the door slam.
"Hey, President Oaks, we've been busy today, the weather is so cold, don't you pay overtime?"
Melinda pushed open the door and walked in. It was snowing a lot last night, so she put on a mink coat over her uniform.
As a Chinese, although she did not grow up in China, she has a lot of knowledge and interest in traditional festivals.
"I remember that your salary is from S.H.I.E.L.D., dear Mei, do you want any money, but as usual, you can get the recovery potion yourself."
Oaks put on a long trench coat and a baseball cap, which made Melinda raise her eyebrows:
"I can't tell, you're quite cold-resistant, but the snow outside has reached your calf."
"Heavy snow is also a part of nature, but it's you, Mei, you're with animal protectionists, but you're going to be shriveled--
And our Rendehui business has also expanded to wildlife protection and pet rescue. "
"The old lady doesn't receive salary from the Rende Association, someone has an opinion, let them come to the old lady!
Don't think that the old lady wants an image like those government officials, who would dare to come to the old lady and send them all to the bureau! "
"Wow, Aunt Mei is mighty, Aunt Mei is rippling, Aunt Mei... Forget about dating!"
After taking a look in Chinese, and receiving Melinda's disdainful sneer and middle finger, Oaks went out with her, preparing to drive to the headquarters of Rendehui.
As for Melinda allowing him to use the title "Aunt May", except that she is more than a dozen years older than Oaks, it is because it will make her look more respected than Mr. Director - of course, only when speaking Chinese.
"Speaking of which, such a car should be driven by weak women like us. You are a big man, don't you feel crowded when you sit in it?"
Melinda drove the Oaks Smart with a look of contempt, dodging the surging traffic and crowds in Brooklyn with one thrilling action:
"I always feel like something is missing when I drive this car... I just found out today!
This car doesn't smell the slightest bit of gasoline..."
"Huh? You call that aroma? If you smell it too much, you'll be chronically poisoned! And if you are a weak woman, Mei, wouldn't I be born with insufficiency?"
Oakes looked at Melinda in horror:
"I finally know why, Mei, your temper is so grumpy. It must be because you smell too much gasoline!"
"My mother is very healthy! As a man, you don't understand the romance of gasoline and engines. You are really helpless!"
Melinda glared at Oaks who smiled bitterly:
"Honestly explain, what's going on? You won't be so mad that you use your green plants as air conditioner filters!
And why don't I see the fuel gauge move no matter how far I drive your car? S.H.I.E.L.D. has refueling subsidies! "
For ordinary people, the old driver Melinda didn't bother to care whether he wanted to refuel, but she herself is now the liaison of the Rende Society, and speaking of which she is the advisor's monitor.
Secondly, Oaks' green plants have made her teacher, Ms. Peggy Carter, in a much better physical condition, and she is even willing to live in Brooklyn for a while, so that she can visit often.
Come three...
Oaks basically can't drive when he goes out by himself. This car is almost Melinda's car!
"Well, keep it a secret for now... Anyway, the engine is still roaring, okay?"
Oakes said haha, there are a lot of things going on recently, and he doesn't want to make any big news.
Pulling his baseball cap, the tiny vines tied him firmly to the seat, allowing him to basically ignore the dazzling skills of the old driver Melinda:
"Speaking of which, Rende will be coordinating thanks to Mei, otherwise those guys wouldn't know what to do and how to do it~www.novelbuddy.com~ Rende will grow so fast, and its business scope has expanded to Manhattan. May, you have contributed a lot, do you want me to apply to Commissioner Fury for a bonus?"
"Oh, last month's Christmas apples and Christmas tree made the whole bureau very satisfied. The chief has already sent my bonus."
Melinda's complexion softened a lot, and her attention was successfully diverted—in fact, her extra money here is more suitable than the bonus.
As long as you don't sell it and restore the medicine tube, what could be more wonderful than this for a middle-aged woman who is already 35 years old?
Melinda is really getting younger and younger. When she occasionally visits her teacher, her younger sister Sharon is very envious.
"But the one who really exceeded my expectations was your clerk, the secretary of Rendehui, Mr. Antonio Zhang."
Speaking of which, Melinda couldn't help but admire:
"Are you sure he really studied environmental science instead of management? Those guys were very obedient by him, and they were very efficient and proficient in daily work."
"Uh, he was the president of the student union when he was an undergraduate, and he trained for half a month's secretary course at Tony's Stark Industries, but I think the most important thing is..."
Oaks gave a quirky cough:
"When this kid came to Brooklyn for the first time, he was beaten up by the group of people that Clydes brought, so they are more timid to see Zhang now."
"..."
While joking, smart stopped at the Rendehui headquarters.
This is a new "small rainforest", with thick vines intertwined to form a new gate, even in the coldest January in New York, it is still green.
"It's worthy of the name, 'Spring Festival'."
