After little Peter got off the car for a while, he thought that the current Valentine and the former Valentine were completely two different places.
"Alright little ones, it's not time to be shocked yet. What's inside is the most important thing today."
A middle-aged man got out of the car and said to the two of them.
He is Norman Osborn, the head of Osborn Corporation.
Harry on the side was also shocked.
"It's a pity that Mu En couldn't come with us."
Peter couldn't help but shook his head with some regret.
"Hey Peter, where did you say Muen went?"
Little Peter shook his head.
"I don't know. Mu En seems to be very busy this week. There is a car to pick him up after school every day."
"Alright little guys, stop standing outside, it's time for us to go in."
Norman brought the two little ones into the venue from the main entrance. When they entered the theater, Norman met many top celebrities and greeted them. Of course, that was because Norman himself was one of them.
In the luxurious hall, celebrities from all walks of life took their seats. As the sky gradually darkened, it meant that the charity gala was about to begin.
As a salute sounded, the lights went out, and then the spotlights shone on the stage. The charity gala really began. First there was an extremely dazzling and exaggerated opening performance, and then a high platform slowly rose above the stage. The lights went out again, and were replaced by constantly flashing colorful lights, increasing the sense of mystery.
“Bang~!”
As a salute sounded, a man dressed extremely flashily appeared on the stage surrounded by beauties. That man was truly Stark.
"Good evening, everyone!"
Stark waved his hand, and passionate music started playing, drawing applause from the audience.
"Okay, actually I prefer to keep a low profile, but unfortunately my strength doesn't allow me to keep a low profile."
Stark's words caused laughter from the audience.
Stark shrugged as usual.
"Okay, let's make it short. After all, I hate those locked-door rules. Compared to those rules and regulations, I'd rather have a drink with a beautiful woman."
This caused another round of laughter. This was Stark's special kind of humor, which only those who often went to high-end banquets with Stark could understand.
Stark waited for the laughter to die down, then he said with a smile.
"Okay, I declare today's charity gala to be open. Now, please invite the representative of the Valentine Welfare Home to speak. Let's welcome Mu En with applause."
Although the people in the audience didn't know who Mu En was, they were still generous with their applause, because tonight's charity gala was organized by Stark, and no matter who was present, giving him face was giving Stark face.
"Oh my God! It's Muen! Which Muen?"
Peter and Harry were a little surprised. They applauded and looked at the stage expectantly. They wanted to see if this Mu En was the Mu En they knew.
The spotlight shone on the stage and a young man walked onto it.
The gray tuxedo highlights his straight figure, and the white shirt is paired with a red bow tie. The well-groomed short hair sets off his young and energetic face. Mu En walked to the center of the stage step by step according to the rehearsed rhythm and bowed to the people in the audience.
"Hello, good evening, everyone. As a child of Valentine, I am very happy to be able to speak here on behalf of the welfare home."
Peter and Harry were stunned looking at Mu En on the stage. They had been feeling sorry for Mu En missing a grand event, but now they realized that Mu En was the protagonist.
Chapter 66, Alanka and Stan
Under the spotlight, Mu En was a little nervous, but still kept smiling.
After countless rehearsals, Mu En could recite the long manuscript by heart.
As Muen's speech progressed, the celebrities in the audience gradually lost interest in the young man on the stage. At first, they thought Stark had discovered such an excellent talent, but now it seems that it is just that.
At the end of Muen's speech, Stark raised his head again.
"Well, it's a very standard speech, but it's still worth encouraging as a young person."
Mu En bowed slightly to show his gratitude.
Stark took the microphone and spoke to the crowd in the audience.
"Well, the opening ceremony is over here. I think everyone has seen enough of this kind of template performance. So let's do something more direct. I declare that the Valentine Welfare Home Charity Fundraising Event has begun!"
A large box slowly rose above the stage. It was a donation box.
The celebrities also slowly stood up and walked to one side of the stage.
As a representative, Stark took the lead and stood next to the donation box.
"Since this charity gala was initiated by me, I should set an example. I, Tony Stark, will donate 250 million US dollars on behalf of Stark Industries."
As he spoke, he took out a check with 250 million clearly written on it.
Stark put the check into the donation box, and Muen bowed to Stark to thank him.
"Thank you. On behalf of everyone at Valentine, I want to thank you."
Stark held Muen's hand, patted his shoulder and smiled.
"You're welcome. We are partners, aren't we?"
The wealthy businessman behind Stark was also stunned when he heard the conversation between the two. How could the genius scientist Tony Stark be a partner with a little high school student? He must have heard it wrong.
Stark adjusted his tie and smiled at the man behind him.
"You heard it right. Mu En is my partner because he is a genius, a super genius."
After saying that, Stark smiled and stood on the other side of the stage, away from the spotlight, and hugged a group of beauties.
The purpose of his saying this was to show these people the value of Mu En. Only when Mu En showed enough value, would these smart people help Valentin as much as possible in the future.
"Wow, brother Mu En, since Tony said so, I am also optimistic about you."
The wealthy businessman also took out a check and wrote the number 200 million on it.
"Thank you. Everyone at Valentine will never forget your kindness."
With the first few people taking the lead, the wealthy people behind them felt embarrassed to give too little, and basically all donated close to 200 million.
Soon a somewhat familiar face stood in front of Muen. It was Norman Osborn. It must be said that Harry looked really like him.
"Hello, Muen, I heard my son Harry mention you."
"Hello, Mr. Norman. It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."
Norman Osborn took out two checks, one for 200 million and the other for 150 million.
"I'm glad you're willing to be friends with Harry. Harry doesn't have many friends, so please take good care of him in the future. This one is from the Osborne Group, and this one is a little gift from Harry and me."
As expected of a man who could accomplish great things, Osborne was quite generous. He donated 200 million in the name of the Osborne Group and another 150 million in his personal name.
"Thank you very much. On behalf of everyone at Valentine, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you."
Muen held Norman's hand and bowed deeply.
Norman patted Muen on the shoulder.
"Come on young man, I have confidence in you. Come visit Osborne Group if you have the chance."
"Most definitely."
One by one, celebrities donated to Valentine on behalf of the companies or consortiums behind them, and soon an old man with disheveled hair came to Mu En.
"On behalf of the Alanka Group, I am donating 200 million US dollars to Valentine."
Mu En looked at the old man in front of him and immediately felt a chill.
"Vampire!"
Mu En was shocked. Although he hid well, he still noticed it at such a close distance.
"The Yalanka Group, which means this person is Nonika Yalanka!"
He was shocked. He didn't expect this guy to come to the charity party. Although he was shocked, he didn't show it on his face.
"Thank you very much. On behalf of everyone at Valentine, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you."
Mu En wiped his hair on his dress and stretched out his right hand.
Nonika gently held Mu En's hand, said a polite word of encouragement and left the stage.
Mu En watched him out of the corner of his eye until he disappeared from his peripheral vision.
The donation ceremony was soon over, and this fundraising raised nearly 10 billion US dollars for Valentine. It also provided financial support for Valentine Welfare Home in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, etc. It can be said that from tonight onwards, Valentine Welfare Home will no longer have any problems for more than a hundred years.
Mu En stood in the middle of the stage, holding the microphone.
"Really, really thank you all very much, thank you all for your support to Valentine. On behalf of everyone at Valentine, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all again."
As he said this, Mu En bowed deeply to everyone again.
Stark looked up and took the microphone.
"Wow, I'm very grateful for your generosity. I didn't expect some of you to donate more than me. What's the point of this?"
Stark's words caused a burst of laughter.
Stark also laughed.
"Okay, now that the donation ceremony is over, let's move on to the last item of the charity gala."
Tony snapped his fingers, and all kinds of delicious food and wine were delivered to the venue.
"Then let's celebrate Valentine!"
After that, he took Mu En away from the venue, and beauties began to perform on stage. The celebrities were no longer restrained and ate and drank.
Now it seems that donations are secondary, and the final banquet is the highlight.
"how do you feel?"
Stark took a glass of wine from the wine waiter and gave Mu En a drink.
Mu En took the drink and smiled.
"It feels okay, much better than during the rehearsal."
"That's good. Now your mission is over. Enjoy yourself."
Stark pulled Mu En to sit beside him.
"Hey, Tony, when did you get to know this little guy? Why didn't you tell me?"
A fat man in his fifties or sixties walked towards Stark with the arm of a beautiful woman.
Stark put down the wine glass in his hand and hugged the uncle.
"Wow, Stan, why are you here? I thought you should be in bed at this time."
As he said this, he glanced at the beautiful woman next to him and shook her hand in a friendly manner.
"Hey, when did you meet? This was not the beautiful lady in the police room yesterday."
Stan laughed a little.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Why don't you introduce me to each other?"
Stan looked Muen up and down with his eagle eyes, just like an eagle looking at a chick.
Chapter 67, Violin
Mu En was also shocked when he saw the guy in front of him.
Star, Tony's father's partner, founded Stark Industries with Tony's father. After Tony's father passed away, he took up the responsibility of Stark Industries. When Tony became an adult and was able to take over Stark Industries, he handed Stark Industries to Tony again, and willingly moved to the second line, assisting Tony with all his heart.
This is the outside world's evaluation of Stan, but Mun, who knows the plot of Iron Man, knows that this guy is a thorough ambitionist. His ambition to monopolize Stark Industries has been a long time coming. In Iron Man 1, he built an Iron Tyrant and forcibly took away Tony's Ark reactor.
Stark watched as Stan rubbed his chin.
"Oh yes, I indeed haven't introduced him to you, but it's not too late now. This is Mu En, a little genius."
Stan happily stretched out his right hand.
"Hello, little genius, I'm Stan."
"Hello Mr. Stan."
