Like small restaurants in China, many shops in Chinatown will reopen on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

I chatted with Shi Xiaolei for a whole morning on the sixth day of the first lunar month. On the seventh day, Claire and others boarded the flight and set off back to New York.

"Aren't you going back?" After Shi Xiaolei answered Claire's call at the Honolulu Airport, Stark casually asked, "As a general rule, the first day of business after the New Year should be very important. Is it appropriate for you, the boss, not to show up in the store?"

"It's okay. I've already greeted those old customers in the New Year's greetings." Shi Xiaolei smiled and replied, "They won't mind. As for those new customers who come for the first time... they don't know who the real boss is. It doesn't make any difference to them whether I go or not."

"Or will you Enjoy life." Stark gave a thumbs up: "Unlike me, oh, I have to go back the day after tomorrow."

"You have to compare?" Shi Xiaolei rolled his eyes: "Come on, I just have a small shop of a few hundred square meters, how much money can I make in a day? If it's like the group company you have, there are endless things to do every day... I'm not bored, why should I keep it running to find things for myself."

"SO, can I understand that you are envious of me?"

"Envy of you?" Shi Xiaolei shrugged: "As long as you are happy."

While chatting, Pepper came to Stark's side.

Although she was not dressed as formally as she was at work, Pepper still had a document in her hand: "Tony, a fax from the fleet."

"Let me see." Stark took off his sunglasses and took the printed fax from Pepper's hand. He glanced at it: "...What's going on? Something happened in the Middle East again?"

"I have confirmed that it is not a problem caused by war or political unrest. It is just an accident." Pepper shook her head and sat down on the beach chair next to Stark: "A container ship from Malaysia to France had a malfunction when passing through the canal - because the right propeller suddenly stopped working, causing its course to change... Maybe it was simply out of control, or maybe there was something wrong. Part of the reason is that the helmsman failed to respond in time. In short, the ship was stranded in the middle of the canal and blocked the channels of contacts. "" ... How long will it be recovered? " Was Captain Vincent stay in the original land and wait for the canal to dredge. Or let him change his direction? "" With a sound, Perper stood up and thought of one thing before leaving. She stopped again and turned to see Shi Xiaolei: "Locke, do you need to pass the sentence for you?" "Huh?" "Do you forget? Atlanta, San Jian, Junuo ..." "Oh." Shi Xiaolei had reacted. Sitting up, Shi Xiaolei smiled at Pepper embarrassedly, and quickly asked, "It's time to say thank you for your hard work. Well, Pepper, can you please send them a fax for me later, just say, just say..."

"Do you need me to prepare a manuscript for you?" Seeing Shi Xiaolei in hesitation, Pepper smiled very considerately.

"Can I?" Shi Xiaolei's eyes lit up: "I'm really not good at this... It's okay for me to make a phone call, but writing an essay, ah."

"Okay." Pepper was amused by Shi Xiaolei's embarrassment and said with a smile: "I'll help you write. However, to show your sincerity, you'd better call the girls in person."

"Of course." While thanking Pepper with a smile, Shi Xiaolei gestured: "I'll call in a while. By the way, what time is it there now? If it's too late, it's exactly midnight, then I'll wait a little longer."

" The time difference between the island and the other side is exactly twelve hours. "While speaking, Pepper raised her hand and looked at her watch: "It's eleven o'clock in the morning now, which means it's eleven o'clock at night on the canal."

"... Then I'll wait until seven or eight o'clock in the evening before calling." After hesitating for a few seconds, Shi Xiaolei made a choice: "Since there was an accident, maybe the girls don't have to take turns on duty as usual today... It's a rare day to rest, so let them sleep a little longer. I'll call them later when they wake up."

"Okay." Pepper nodded: "Knowing that you are so considerate, the girls will definitely be very happy."

"What's the matter? Compared with their hard work, I just said a few nice words. "

"Women, they just like to hear nice things." After saying this with a smile, Pepper looked at Stark again, turned around, and left the beach slowly.

Looking at Pepper's leaving back, and then looking at Stark lying back on the beach chair, Shi Xiaolei suddenly laughed.

"Why are you laughing? It's so sudden. It's a little scary, you know?"

"Nothing." After waving his hand, Shi Xiaolei followed suit and lay back on the beach chair again: "I was thinking about what to say to the girls when I called... By the way, Tony, just keep lying like this. Don’t care about anything and leave it all to Pepper alone?”

"It's a rare holiday, so I need to relax." Picking up the cup on the small table, taking a sip of the drink with a straw in his mouth, Stark replied with one sentence: "Tell me, isn't it the same for you? Just lie here and let a bunch of little girls run around outside."

"That's because they want to realize their own value." Shi Xiaolei smiled: "Speaking of which, is this escort mission the fourth or fifth?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be the fourth trip." Stark replied: "It was the first trip to bring things from Louisiana to the island. After that... from the Netherlands to Florida, from San Francisco to Two more trips to Singapore, yes, this time it’s the fourth trip from Thailand to Italy.”

"Isn't there another trip from Xiangjiang to Cape Town, South Africa?"

"Did you forget? Something happened to that order. It was changed to air transportation and it didn't leave the ship at all."

"Uh, really...I really didn't remember it."
