American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 543 Talent and Kindness

Soon, along with the unique aroma of hand-ground coffee and the wheat aroma of freshly baked bread, Caroline brought Mike and the other two her treasured fine coffee.

Also served were Max's freshly baked bread and a beautiful cake.

While the maid Lina couldn't wait to start eating, Mike picked up the bill on the table and asked, "Is this the project list you made yourself? It looks quite professional."

An expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look.

The bill form that Gardner made on the spur of the moment was not only concise but also clearly organized and categorized.

"Max and I don't have the ability to do this. This was done for us by a customer..." Caroline, who has a carefree personality, saw from the corner of her eye that Gardner hadn't left yet, so she decided to say something good about him: "Look, it's the gentleman over there. He helped us sort out three months of accounts in less than ten minutes."

"Oh?" After listening to the girl's explanation, Mike looked towards the door again.

"Hello, Mr. Mike. I'm Gardner, Chris Gardner..." The opportunity came again. Gardner didn't know where he got the courage from. He walked up to Mike and said, "You know, you are my idol. Your story has always inspired me. I also sent my resume to your company..."

Perhaps because he was too excited, Gardner's voice was not only hoarse, but also a little incomparable.

Overall terrible.

He seemed to realize this and soon stopped speaking awkwardly.

"What position do you want to apply for, financial accountant or data analyst?" Mike's voice sounded.

He had actually recognized Gardner's identity a long time ago, a man with great talent in "numbers".

How talented is he? Probably a weakened version of Young Sheldon.

Of course, in terms of personality, Gardner is obviously not as difficult to deal with as young Sheldon.

"I'm actually applying for a sales position," Gardner replied guiltily.

Gardner, who has no academic qualifications, can be considered a hidden gem.

However, he himself did not realize this. At this time, he was still in a confused stage and his personality was somewhat inferior.

"You are such a good financial statement producer, it's a shame for you to be a salesperson." Mike weighed the account sheet in his hand and said, "How about this, you go to King Group to find Chris and ask him to arrange a job for you that can make use of your strengths."

Special talents like Gardner are rare, and if used well, they can definitely be a trump card.

It is very useful whether you are a stock analyst or doing big data analysis.

Now that Mike has met such a talent, there is no reason for him to miss it.

"Ah?" Happiness came so suddenly that Gardner thought he was hallucinating.

"What? Are you not satisfied with my arrangement or do you still want to be a salesperson?" Mike asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, I'm just too excited." Gardner realized that this was not a dream and said excitedly, "As long as I can join the King Group, I can do anything you ask me to do."

Faced with perhaps the only opportunity in his life, Gardner obviously would not let it go. At this moment, he felt happier than if he had won the lottery.

Stable ~

Mike, who had recruited another talent for the group, smiled as he took out a checkbook from his clothes, wrote down an amount of 10,000 yuan, handed it to Gardner and said, "This is the advance I paid you. Buy yourself and your child some extra clothes when the weather gets cold."

"You can report to the group tomorrow or after the Christmas holiday. I will explain the situation to Chris."

Good people do good things to the end...

Mike could naturally see that Gardner's life was very difficult now, and this check could be considered as winning his heart in advance.

"Thank you~" Gardner took the check with both hands.

It's an urgent need. Gardner really needs this thing now.

Gardner still felt a little unreal until he walked out of the coffee shop with his son. Touching the check in his pocket with body temperature, he felt that the snow in the sky was so gentle.

"Dad, now that you have a job, we don't have to spend the night at the garbage station or public restroom anymore, right?" Little Chris also felt his dad's mood.

"Yes, we will have our own house in the future, and it will be very warm inside..." Gardner smiled and hugged his little son in his arms.

Ten thousand yuan is enough to rent a small house and spend this cold winter.

……

"Aren't you afraid that the man will take the check and run away?" In the coffee shop, Max looked at the young man who looked like he had done something insignificant, and asked curiously.

But as soon as she said it, she regretted it.

Is ten thousand yuan a lot?
Among the people in the room, perhaps only Max, who still lives in the civilian area, would think that this amount of money is a lot.

"If it were you, would you run?" Mike asked meaningfully.

"No~" Max shook his head.

She has now figured it out. Gardner not only lacks the 10,000 yuan, but also lacks an opportunity to prove himself.

"Stop chatting now, the coffee is getting cold." Caroline interrupted the conversation and motioned to Mike, "Try it and see if my coffee-making skills have improved."

Under Caroline's expectant gaze, Mike took a sip of the coffee in front of him and frowned slightly. To be honest, he still couldn't appreciate the bitter taste of coffee.

However, despite the girl's expression of wanting to praise me, Mike still gave his evaluation against his conscience: "Not bad, quite fragrant~"

The tone was perfunctory and the expression was also perfunctory.

However, the carefree Caroline did not notice these details and was still laughing foolishly.

"Mike, try these desserts, they taste great too." To avoid embarrassment, little foodie Lina placed the small bread and a small piece of cake that she had reserved for Mike in front of him.

The small egg tart-shaped bread looks very appetizing because it has just been baked.

"It's really good, soft and has a wheat aroma... The cake is also good, very sweet..."

This time, Mike's praise was much more sincere.

I have to say that Max is indeed unique in making desserts.

"Have you ever thought about customizing afternoon tea specifically for office companies?" Thinking of the previous business report, Mike provided Caroline and Max with an idea to make money.

Objectively speaking, Caroline's coffee and Max's desserts are both very good, and they can make money as long as they can be sold.

"Will this work?" Max's eyes lit up.

If we were to ask who in the store wants to make the most money, it would definitely be Max.

"Why not? I believe that once the employees try your coffee and desserts, they will like them." Mike said, "If you are willing, after the Christmas holiday, I will ask the person in charge of the King Group to come to your store to order afternoon tea packages."

The King Group has hundreds of employees in the Wall Street Building alone, which means that at least hundreds of afternoon tea sets are consumed every day.

A little bit adds up and you can make a lot of money.

"I do~" Thinking of so much small change, Max said excitedly: "We can do it, don't you think, Caroline."

"Uh, yes." In fact, Caroline is no longer so enthusiastic about starting a business and making money. Just like Max said, wouldn't it be better to just cling to Mike?

And just thinking about making hundreds of afternoon tea sets at one time is tiring.

However, seeing her friend's enthusiasm, Caroline couldn't object.

"It's settled then." Mike finalized the matter.

Besides, Caroline's little coffee shop had few customers all afternoon because of the snow.

After tasting the dessert, Mike sat for a while and then took Caroline to leave work early.

"It's snowing so heavily, so I'll leave my car to you. See you tomorrow~" Caroline, who got a ride with Mike, smiled and waved goodbye to her friend.

"See you tomorrow~" Max, who was standing at the door of the shop, smiled and waved goodbye to his friends, watching Mike and his group go away.

"What a charming guy..."

Max returned to the coffee shop and stayed there. For some reason, the handsome man's image was all in his mind.

A bit like a nympho...

Finally, she shook her head in distress, leaned on the table, and stared blankly at the snow scene outside the window.

Again, Max, who has a clear understanding of himself, knows that he and rich people like Mike are simply not from the same world.

Thinking too much will only bring pain.

On the other side, Mike returned to the King Building and called Chris.

I first talked about the situation of Gardner and Caroline's coffee shop, and then asked about the current employment situation outside.

The Great Depression is bound to cause many people to be laid off, and there will be more and more unemployed vagrants like Gardner in the future.

This is the general trend and it cannot be changed by any one person.

"Chris, I've decided to set aside some money to support welfare institutions like relief stations. Please help me draw up a charter." Mike gave direct instructions.

As his strength grew, Mike became more and more distant from the lives of ordinary people. It was when he met Gardner today that he realized the difficulties ordinary people faced during the economic downturn.

You can say it was a spur of the moment or that he was kind-hearted.

In short, Mike, who is no longer short of money, doesn't mind doing some good things within his ability.

"Do charity? This will indeed help improve the image of the group." Chris did not object to Mike's proposal, but instead made a rational analysis.

"Yes, it's charity." Mike said, "Remember to let the welfare organizations that receive our funding hang up our group's logo..."

Doing good things and increasing your visibility are not mutually exclusive.

For Mike, fame means faith, and faith means increased strength.

It really is a win-win situation.
