Whether you become a stock analyst or do big data analysis, it will be very useful.

Now that Mike has encountered such talent, there's no reason for him to let it slip by.

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

"What, are you not happy with my arrangements, or do you want to be a salesman?" Mike asked with a smile.

"No, no, no, I'm just too excited." Realizing he wasn't dreaming, Gardner said excitedly, "I'll do anything you ask me to join the King's Group."

Faced with what might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Gardner was clearly not going to let it slip by; at that moment, he felt even happier than if he had won the lottery.

It's safe now!

Mike, who had just recruited another talented person for the group, smiled and took out a checkbook from his clothes. He casually wrote down an amount of ten thousand US dollars and handed it to Gardner, saying, "This is an advance on your salary. It's getting cold, so buy yourself and the kids some warm clothes."

"You can report to the company tomorrow, or you can report after the Christmas holidays. I will explain the situation to Chris."

Do a good deed to the end...

Mike could naturally see that Gardner was in dire straits, and this check was a way of winning him over in advance.

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

Gardner really needs this right now, as it's a matter of great need.

Even as he led his son out of the coffee shop, Gardner still felt a little unreal. Touching the warm check in his pocket, he felt even the falling snow seemed so gentle.

“Dad, now that you have a job, does that mean we won’t have to sleep in garbage dumps and public restrooms anymore?” Little Chris sensed his father’s feelings.

“Yes, we will have our own house in the future, and it will be very warm inside…” Gardner smiled and hugged his youngest son.

Ten thousand US dollars is enough to rent a small house and get through this cold winter.

……

"Aren't you afraid that person will take the check and run away?" Max asked curiously, looking at the young man who seemed to have done something insignificant in the coffee shop.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them.

Is 10,000 US dollars a lot?

Of the people in the room, only Max, who still lives in the working-class neighborhood, 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 ten thousand US dollars, but also an opportunity to prove himself.

"Stop chatting, the coffee's getting cold," Caroline interrupted, gesturing to Mike, "Try it and see if my coffee-making skills have improved."

Under Caroline's expectant gaze, Mike took a sip of his coffee, his brow furrowing slightly.

To be honest, he still couldn't appreciate the bitterness of coffee.

However, seeing the girl's eager expression, Mike still lied and gave a negative review: "Not bad, smells pretty good~"

His tone was perfunctory, and his expression was equally perfunctory.

However, the oblivious Caroline didn't notice these details and was still happily laughing to herself.

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

The small, tart-shaped bread rolls look very appetizing because they were freshly baked.

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

This time, Mike's positive review was much more sincere.

It must be said that Max does have a unique talent for making desserts.

"Have you ever thought about customizing afternoon tea for office companies?" Mike suggested to Caroline and Max a money-making idea, recalling the previous business report.

Objectively speaking, Caroline's coffee and Max's desserts are both very good; as long as they have a market, they can make money.

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

If you were to ask who in the store is most eager to make money, it would definitely be Max.

“Why wouldn’t it work? I believe that once those employees try it, they will love your coffee and desserts,” Mike said. “If you’d like, after the Christmas holidays, I’ll have the head of the King Group come to your shop to reserve an afternoon tea set.”

The King Group has several hundred employees in the Wall Street building alone, which means that at least a hundred afternoon tea sets are consumed every day.

Little by little, you can make a lot of money.

"I do!" Max said excitedly, thinking about all that money. "We can do it, right, Caroline?"

"Uh, yes." Actually, Caroline isn't that enthusiastic about starting a business and making money anymore. Just like Max said, isn't it better to just latch onto Mike's coattails?

Moreover, preparing a hundred afternoon tea sets at once is exhausting just thinking about it.

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

“Then it’s settled.” Mike finalized the deal.

As for Caroline's little coffee shop, it had hardly any customers all afternoon because of the snow.

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

"With such heavy snow, you can have my car. See you tomorrow!" Caroline smiled and waved goodbye to her friend as she got into Mike's car.

"See you tomorrow~" Max, standing at the entrance of the shop, smiled and waved goodbye to his friend, watching Mike and his group leave.

"He really is a charming guy..."

Max, who had returned to the coffee shop to stay behind, couldn't help but keep thinking about that man's handsome face.

It's a bit like being a fangirl...

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

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

Thinking too much only brings pain.

Meanwhile, back at the King's Building, Mike called Chris.

I first talked about the coffee shop run by Gardner and Caroline, and then casually inquired about the current employment situation outside.

The economic depression will inevitably cause many people to lose their jobs, and there will be more and more unemployed people like Gardner in the future.

This is an inevitable trend, and no one can change it.

“Chris, I’ve decided to donate some money to welfare organizations like relief stations. Can you draft an bylaw for me?” Mike gave the instruction directly.

As Mike's power grew, he drifted further and further away from the lives of ordinary people. It was his encounter with Gardner today that made him realize the hardships ordinary people face during an economic downturn.

Call it a whim or a sudden burst of kindness.

In short, Mike, who is already financially secure, doesn't mind doing some good deeds within his means.

“Doing charity? That would certainly improve the group’s image.” Chris did not object to Mike’s suggestion; instead, he offered a rational analysis.

“Yes, it’s about doing charity,” Mike said. “Remember to make sure the welfare organizations that receive our funding hang our company’s logo on their premises afterwards…”

Doing good deeds and increasing one's visibility are not mutually exclusive.

For Mike, fame translates to faith value, and faith value translates to increased strength.

They truly understand how to achieve a win-win situation.

Chapter 544 Another Christmas

"Happy New Year to the Kenyan minister and Mr. Chili!"

"Are you all dressed so formally today to pay your respects to Her Majesty the Queen?"

……

The Kenyan man and his eldest son, Chili, have been in Genovia for over two years, having been summoned by Mike.

The father and son, who have helped the Mike family take care of the farm for generations, have extensive experience in farming.

After arriving in Genovia, the two continued their original jobs and made significant contributions to the agricultural development of this small country.

Two years later, the two became Genovya's Minister of Agriculture and Agricultural Advisor, respectively.

In a country where agriculture accounts for 60 percent of the economy, the father and son's dedication has earned them the respect of ordinary people.

Kili, with her simple, down-to-earth, and hardworking personality, is very popular among Genovia girls.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

The Kenyan man, walking from the residential area towards Genovya Castle, greeted the enthusiastic crowd and shared, "Chili and I were indeed summoned by Her Majesty the Queen today. And Mr. Mike will also be here today..."

Although Mike doesn't live in Genovia often, his legend still lives on there.

It can be said that it is because of him that the people of Genovia have the wonderful life they have today.

"Is Prince Michael back today too?"

"If we go to the castle today, wouldn't we be able to see both Queen Mia and Prince Mike at the same time...?"

"I've heard that Prince Mike is not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely handsome..."

"Anyone want to come with me to the castle to see Queen Mia and Prince Mike?"

In Genovia, a country known for its simple and honest people, Queen Mia and her fiancé are equally respected.

In order to catch a glimpse of the current Queen and Prince, the crowd spontaneously followed the Kenyan minister and advisor, Kili, toward the castle.

……

"Queen Reinadi, Mr. Joseph, Happy New Year!"

Inside the castle, Mike, who had brought a group of girls to Genovia for Christmas again, greeted everyone in the hall warmly as soon as he stepped out of the portal.

Those who came to greet Mike were all his own people, and they weren't too surprised by the man's various amazing abilities.

"Mia, Peggy...and Missy, it's been so long..."

As Mike greeted everyone, he distributed the Christmas gifts he had prepared to them ahead of time.

It's worth mentioning that Missy graduated from high school this year. Unable to get into a good university, she came directly to Genovia to stay with Peggy.

Now he's Peggy's assistant...

Shortly after the group greeted each other, a guard came to announce that the finance minister and financial advisor had arrived at the castle gate, waiting for the Queen and the Prince to receive them.

A large number of people also arrived.

"Come on, I'll show you Genovya now!"

Queen Mia smiled and took Mike's arm as they walked towards the castle gate.

Unlike the snowy winters of Apple City, winters in Genovia are still sunny and warm.

The simultaneous appearance of Queen Mia and the Prince instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the people.

Many people even presented the Queen and the Prince with fruits they had grown themselves and food they had prepared by hand.

Each warm and hopeful face spoke of their contentment with life.

"I heard that things are not going well in Apple City right now..." After meeting with the finance minister and the people, Queen Mia chatted with Mike on the way back.

As we can see, this now mature new Queen is well-informed about both domestic and international situations.

“The situation over there is indeed not very good, but it doesn’t affect me much…” Mike also exchanged information with Queen Mia appropriately.

The economic depression triggered by Wall Street will not be limited to one place.

Neighboring small countries like Genovia will likely be affected to some extent.

Taking early action is a necessary measure.

"...Aren't the girls in the King's Dance Troupe beautiful?" Queen Mia, who was discussing serious matters, suddenly changed the subject.

"Uh, they're all pretty..." The topic shifted so quickly that Mike almost didn't catch on. "I want to say that it's not what you think. I formed the dance troupe simply to pass the time and to provide employment opportunities for girls who need help."

Well, that's really hard to explain.

Besides, Mike himself wasn't exactly "innocent."

Queen Mia listened to Mike's explanation while maintaining a smile, showing no sign of anger.

"My grandmother wants me to have a child with you first, what do you think?" After a long silence, Queen Mia asked the second difficult question.
