MU-0223 Good deeds are rewarded
The next day, in the evening.
Peter returned to his hut again exhausted, and was just about to lie down when there was a knock on the door outside, and he frowned slightly, got up and opened the door.
"Hey." The landlord's daughter greeted shyly.
Peter was stunned, he didn't expect that he was not the landlord, and when he saw her take the initiative to say hello, he also raised his hand and greeted, "Hi." Is there something wrong with you? ”
The landlord's daughter lowered her head and stared at her feet, then plucked up her courage and looked up at Peter: "I have your phone call in the afternoon, it was your aunt calling, she told you to go back early tonight, I have something to look for you." ”
"Oh, thank you." Peter grateful, and raised his arm to see that it was already six twenty.
"Oh no, it's so late. Ursula, I'll go first. ”
He grabbed the key, closed the door, and rushed out.
Only the landlord's daughter, Ursula, was left standing there dumbfounded, looking at his back with a sweet smile on her face......
Relying on Spider-Man's superb skills, Peter rushed to the suburbs, Aunt May's cottage before seven o'clock.
"Auntie Mei, I'm back."
As he spoke, he opened the door.
"Happy Birthday!"
Three voices rang out at the same time, and Peter looked to see his aunt May, Mary Jane, and Harry, holding a box of birthday cakes, standing there with smiles on their faces.
Peter raised his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Is it my birthday today?" I forgot. ”
"We all know you're busy, but you still have to celebrate your birthday, come here, make a wish, blow out the candles." Aunt Mei smiled.
"Yes, Peter." Mary Jane and Harry chimed in.
Peter walked over with emotion, closed his eyes, and thought to himself that such a warm day would last forever, and opened his eyes and blew out the candles.
The crowd cheered.
"Thank you."
"Peter, good news for you, I got a job." Aunt Mei said excitedly.
"Congratulations, what's the job?"
Looking at the white-haired Aunt Mei, Peter's heart was sour, if it weren't for his uncle who died because of him, Aunt Mei was so old, why did she still need to work hard to find a job and pay off the mortgage? He knew that his aunt Mei had been looking for a job for a long time, but she was rejected because she was too old, and now, God forbid, she was really hired.
"We opened a new music tutoring agency in our town, I went to try it, the boss is also a good person, said that you need an experienced person like me, hired me on the spot, the salary is not low, enough to pay off the mortgage and normal expenses, and even have a surplus to subsidize your daily use, your college expenses are not small, I can only do this." Aunt Mei cried with joy.
Going to college in the United States requires a lot of money, and college students born in ordinary families need to take on huge loans as soon as they enroll, and if they can't find a good job after graduation, the loans will be overwhelming.
Peter was clearly in this situation, with a large amount of loans and part-time living expenses, and his life was miserable.
"It's so good, Aunt Mei, you don't have to worry about me, my part-time job is enough for me to live." Peter immediately rejected the financial support of his aunt May, who needed the money more than he needed to support her old age.
"No, you need, if your uncle Ben were still alive, you wouldn't be living so hard now." Aunt Mei wiped her tears and said.
"Okay, Aunt May, today is Peter's birthday, let's talk about these things later, it's rare for everyone to get together today, let's talk about something happy." Harry interrupted.
Mary Jane also hugged Aunt May and said, "Yes, Aunt May, today is a good day for Peter, and I will also tell you good news." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Mary Jane smiled and said, "I was designated by the opera house as the heroine of the next opera, and I will soon be able to really step into the showbiz." ”
"Great." Peter was overjoyed and put his arms around Mary Jane, he knew that Mary Jane had always dreamed of being an actress, and now her dream was about to come true, and he was very happy for her.
Mary Jane also hugged Peter excitedly, and the two kissed passionately.
"Ahem." Aunt May glanced at Harry, who was a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and reminded, "Peter, cut the cake." ”
Peter came back to his senses, let go of Mary Jane, and smiled awkwardly, "Okay." ”
After the cake had been cut, Aunt Mae pulled Mary Jane into the kitchen and prepared dinner for the night, leaving Harry and Peter standing in the drawing-room.
After a moment of silence, Peter took the initiative to beckon, "Harry, long time no see, are you okay?" ”
Since Norman's funeral, the two have gone their separate ways, and they haven't seen each other for months, and the occasional phone call is over in just a few words, and an invisible barrier has blocked between the two good friends.
"I'm fine, but I've been busy reorganizing the Osborne Group lately, so I haven't had time to contact you, you won't blame me, right?" Harry smiled.
Peter hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How come?" I know you're very busy, and it will definitely take a lot of time and energy to communicate with each other in all aspects. Oh, by the way, I read in the newspaper that the Osborne group seems to be in trouble? Harry, are you alright? ”
Harry frowned: "Well, since my father died, I took over the Osborne Group, the stock price has plummeted, and many consortia are eyeing our Osborne Group and want to take the opportunity to annex us." ”
Seeing that Peter wanted to be comforted, Harry smiled confidently, "However, they will not succeed, I have found the key to breaking the game, Dr. Alto, have you heard?" ”
"Of course, Dr. Alto is a top expert on nuclear fusion, and my current thesis is based on his research, and my supervisor, Dr. Connors, is a good friend of Dr. Alto."
At the mention of scientific research, Peter, a top student, became excited.
The scumbag Harry smiled in his heart, what about the top student and the doctor? Aren't you working for me yet?
"I am very optimistic about Dr. Alto's artificial sun project, and I have invested a huge amount of money in his research, and now it is about to bear fruit, and once it succeeds, the Osborne Group will usher in unprecedented development, reaching heights that my father could not reach."
"Wow! Harry, you're amazing. Peter sighed heartily.
Harry's heart was so happy that he didn't want to mention it, and he asked proudly, "Peter, since your thesis is based on Dr. Alto's research, would you like to ask him in person?" ”
Peter was stunned for a moment, and then said with joy: "Is it okay?" Wouldn't it be too much trouble? ”
Harry waved his hand and said: "You are my friend, these are small things, Dr. Alto will definitely give me this face, I will go to see the latest research progress the day after tomorrow, I can introduce you when the time comes, do you have time?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Peter replied that such an opportunity was too rare for him.
"Then it's settled." Harry clapped.
The next day, Peter walked briskly down the street, although he was still looking for a job, and was rejected again and again, but a few good news last night made him full of energy, and he only felt that the world was so beautiful, and he always greeted him with a smile in the face of other people's cold faces.
Daily Clarion Journal.
"Sir, I'm here to apply for a photographer." Peter said respectfully.
The newspaper owner held a cigar in one hand and a telephone in the other, and the words of reprimand continued in his mouth, and he sent a few subordinates who came to ask for instructions one after another, only then did he take a beautiful puff of cigar, spit out the smoke ring towards Peter, stared at Peter fiercely, and the different color in his eyes flashed.
"What do you think you're here for?"
"Sir, I see you're looking for a photographer here." Peter held up a daily trumpet, pointed to the job posting, and asked again.
"Well, that's the case, but not everyone can come in, do you have any special strengths?" The newspaper owner said with a straight face.
"Well, I'm a big fan of photography, and when I was in high school, I was always working as a ...... for the school newspaper," says Peter.
"School newspaper photography?" The newspaper owner couldn't help but laugh.
"Sir, is there any problem?" Peter frowned.
"We are the most famous newspaper group in New York, and how many professional photographers want to apply for it, and it's really whimsical that you want to overtake everyone else as a little guy who has only done school newspaper photography." The newspaper owner sneered.
"Well, excuse me." Peter smiled wryly and wanted to turn away.
The newspaper boss frowned slightly, coughed lightly, and said, "Slow, I can give you a chance, it's up to you whether you catch it or not." ”
"Sir, please." Peter stopped and asked in surprise.
"The hottest thing on the market now is Spider-Man, but no one has ever taken a frontal photo of him, if you can do it, then I can call the shots and let you join the newspaper and be a full-time photographer, how about it?"
Peter's heart jumped, and he rejoiced, "No problem, sir, I will definitely complete this test." ”
"Yes, go ahead." The newspaper owner waved his hand.
It was only after Peter left with brisk steps that the newspaper boss muttered: "It's really troublesome, if you want to hire this guy, just hire him directly, and I have to set up some kind of test, in case he can't finish it, I have to think of other ways, alas, the big man's mind is so weird......"
Picking up the phone, the newspaper boss put away his complaints, straightened up, and dialed a number, and when he was connected, he reported respectfully: "Miss Merkel, do as you ...... ordered"
