EP 45. Accept the invitation
Just mentioning the word 'road trip' is not uncommon.
But when it came out of Tony Stark's mouth, Shi Xiaolei couldn't understand it.
"Why do you want to go on a road trip all of a sudden? With your personality, shouldn't you fly there directly in your own private jet after you have settled on your destination? Wandering slowly on the road, driving a long-distance car exhausted yourself... Tony, This doesn't look like your style." With a bit of puzzlement, Shi Xiaolei cast Stark a questioning look with some curiosity.
"No, that's my style." Stark retorted a little arrogantly: "I can do whatever I want, and I'm free to do whatever I want. No one can stop me."
Whether it’s holding a private jet at the airport or taking a road trip in your own car, it’s all about the whims of the rich at the end of the day. From this point of view, Stark's words are not unreasonable.
"Well, if you have money, you will be willful." Shi Xiaolei laughed speechlessly, and gave Stark a thumbs up: "But then again, why did you suddenly come up with this idea? There must be a reason."
Although Pepper Pepper was appointed as the CEO, and she was responsible for managing the company's affairs, but as the boss of the entire Stark Industries, the meaning of Tony Stark's existence cannot be completely replaced by Pepper Pepper. For example, external publicity, business negotiations, holding expositions, litigation, etc., many messy things still have to be personally faced by Stark.
It is not necessary to go to the company to check in and report every day. Compared with Pepper, Stark is indeed more leisurely. But this does not mean that he can be a hands-off shopkeeper and ignore the company's affairs.
There is one thing to say, as Stark, road travel, a leisure activity that requires a lot of time and energy, is really not suitable for him.
And according to his daily preferences, such an idea shouldn't come to him suddenly.
"It's nothing, I just want to relax suddenly."
The pride in his heart made Stark very taboo to reveal his weak side. Therefore, facing Shi Xiaolei's question, he did not speak his mind, but acted casually as usual.
"Aren't you persuading him?" Shrugging, Shi Xiaolei turned his head to look at Pepper, who was entertaining the little girl, and pointed back at Stark.
"He's the boss." Pepper smiled: "If I can persuade him, I don't have to think of ways to relieve myself every day."
"Where do you have so many questions, just say whether to go or not."
Seeing that Stark was getting impatient, Shi Xiaolei finally gave a positive answer: "Okay, anyway, it will take some time for the store to be renovated, so I just have nothing to do at the moment. Tony, tell me about your plan. Let's go someday , How many days are you going to spend on the road?"
Misunderstood that the person Stark invited to accompany him was only himself, so Shi Xiaolei didn't consider asking Kang Na for leave.
"The day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. I don't want to be so tired about the schedule... two weeks, what do you think?"
Although I haven’t practiced it myself, I’ve been in the United States for so long, and I’ve heard some related news. If you go across the United States from the east coast to the west coast, if you take the most famous Route 66, the distance is about 4,000 kilometers. . If you walk faster, it will take about 7 days. If you want to see more scenery and travel more leisurely on the road, 12 days is a more appropriate rhythm.
No matter how slow you go, 12 days is enough.
Stark was talking about two weeks, this speed...
"It won't take that long, isn't it too long?" Scratching his head, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help persuading him: "Hurry up a little bit, ten days will do? Two weeks is too long, you know, the little guy won't be able to wait that long .”
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Stark showed a surprised expression: "Did you make a mistake? I didn't seem to say that I wanted to be one-on-one with you.
Let's go two people. "
"Eh?"
"I'm going to take Pepper and Happy with me." Stark shrugged and pouted in Connor's direction: "What about you, take them both. There are more people on the road, and the road is lively."
"..." Staring at Stark for a few seconds, then turning his head to look at Connor who was covered with chocolate sauce on the corner of her mouth, Shi Xiaolei rubbed his nose resentfully: "I thought it was just the two of us. Tony, Connor still has school, you know."
"Let me ask for leave, anyway, she is only in the first grade of elementary school, isn't she?" After a pause, Stark continued: "Besides, from what I know about her, her study progress has already surpassed that of the first graders... Anyway, in You can't learn much in the classroom, and it's better for her to go out to gain knowledge. I believe that the teachers in the school will definitely think so."
Taking children to travel and helping them broaden their horizons is a very popular way of family education in the United States. It has been a while since I came to America to send Kang Na to school. On weekdays, Shi Xiaolei heard recommendations from teachers more than once, and even took Kang Na to try once or twice.
Although they took advantage of the weekend trips and did not travel far, through these two or three outings, Little Kangna learned some common sense that she did not know before. Looking at the effect alone, this trick really works.
"Let's ask Kangna herself, maybe she prefers to go to school and play with her classmates?" After thinking about it, Shi Xiaolei felt that this decision should be made by Kangna herself.
"I have no opinion."
I won't mention the process of asking Kang Na, in short, this girl agreed very simply.
No, it should be said to be very positive... Before Stark finished talking about the whole plan and asked that sentence, the little guy's eyes lit up, he raised his short hand holding the ice cream spoon, and shouted excitedly The words 'I'm going too' came out.
"OK, we've reached an agreement." Stark nodded in satisfaction, stretched out his hand and rubbed the little girl's head: "Konna, I'm very satisfied with your answer. So I decided to reward you with two delicious puddings .Hehe, I specially asked a very good pastry chef to make it, I can't bear to eat it myself, do you want to eat it?"
"Thought~!" Chocolate is good, but when it comes to favorites, we have to count pudding. Upon hearing Stark's words, the little girl nodded vigorously, with an expression on her little face that she was afraid that he would regret it.
What he said was 'reluctant to eat', but it was actually prepared for the little girl. There is one thing to say, Stark really likes the cute and well-behaved Connor, this kind of pampering even exceeds the value he attaches to the little spider in "Spider-Man: Far From Home".
"I'll ask Xiaodai to bring it for you." Stark patted the little girl's head again fondly, and Stark raised his head and ordered Jarvis. Then, he turned his gaze away, looked at Shi Xiaolei, and shook his head toward the stairs leading to the basement: "Let's go, I'll take you to see your car."
"...just bringing it up now, Tony, you wouldn't convert my car into a station wagon, would you?"
"You'll love it, I promise."
