Open the email you received earlier and take a look at the sender first.

To my slight surprise, it was sent by Professor Chang Hongyu who had just returned to China two days ago.

Thinking about it again, maybe Teacher Chang saw the gifts that he and Yixian sent after returning to China, and felt that the gifts were too expensive and undeserved, so he wrote such an email to express his feelings?

Thinking he had guessed the answer, Shi Xiaolei smiled and continued reading.

"Huh?" After looking at it for two or three minutes, before turning to the bottom page, Shi Xiaolei glanced at the page number marked on the lower right, and Shi Xiaolei unconsciously showed an unexpected look.

A letter has as many as thirteen pages? What is this scenario? Is there more to it than just gratitude for those gifts?

After calming down and reading the entire email carefully, Shi Xiaolei finally understood what the situation was.

First of all, as expected, Professor Chang Hongyu did express his gratitude in this e-mail. Generally speaking, the thanks are mainly concentrated in two aspects. First, Shi Xiaolei and his family provided her with excellent treatment during the period when she lived temporarily in New York. Second, Shi Xiaolei and Yixian gave her gifts after returning to China. That pile of gifts.

Including memories and thanks, this part of the content occupies almost three pages.

As for the extra ten pages...

In a sense, it can also be regarded as an expression of gratitude - thinking that the hot springs in Shi Xiaolei's manor might be breaking ground in a few days, Professor Chang Hongyu made a suggestion, saying that he could send two graduates who were about to graduate. Students come to help. Although there is a part of the idea of ​​"connecting students with internship opportunities", from the perspective of Shi Xiaolei's family, if there can be two veterans who are familiar with this kind of project to help... be it a supervisor or a technical guide Regardless, it will definitely reduce a lot of trouble during the construction process.

"emmmm..."

"Is it okay?" While Shi Xiaolei was thinking, 2b next to him showed a slightly worried look.

"It shouldn't be a big problem." After thinking for a moment, Shi Xiaolei scratched his head: "The place where the minions live is several hundred meters away from the hot spring. At worst, during the construction days, we should restrict the scope of the minions' activities. I I think as long as I'm careful, I won't be... Forget it, let them come back to the city first."

Not to mention the two graduate students recommended by Chang Hongyu, after the project starts, some workers will inevitably come to work in the manor.

Even if those people are very measured and will not walk around randomly after entering the manor and stay near the construction site, no one can guarantee whether the unreliable Minions will cause any trouble... Considering that Xiao Huang It is very likely that people will have a short-circuit in their brains and expose themselves to outsiders. Shi Xiaolei thinks that it is better to bring them back to the six-story building to live for two or three months, and then release them after the construction of the hot spring is completed. It's safer to go back.

Or simply send them to the ark?

‘Well, let’s forget it. Although the Ark is quite big inside, it still feels like a confinement. Those little guys didn't make any mistakes...' After thinking about it, Shi Xiaolei shook his head involuntarily.

"Locke?"

"Uh, oh, it's nothing." After coming back to his senses, he looked at 2b and smiled, Shi Xiaolei casually closed the mailbox interface: "After finishing work for the evening, let's go back and discuss it with Yixian. After all, leave this matter to her. She is responsible and should let her take the initiative.”

"Yes." Nodding, without asking any more questions, 2b took out a paper clip and pinned the documents he had just sorted together.

"done?"

"Well, do you want to take a look?"

"No, just put it away." Looking at the documents in 2b's hand, Shi Xiaolei suddenly remembered something: "By the way, it's time to file and pay taxes at the end of the month. Have our store's accounts been sorted out?"

In addition to this small restaurant, Shi Xiaolei also has some other industries under his name, such as the weakened version of the pharmaceutical manufacturing company established in cooperation with Stark, and the manor bought with his account, and listed in his name. In fact, They were the properties that Bayonetta bought during her 'business trip'.

Even the real estate tax, all the items that need to be reported and paid are counted. This tax return belonging to Shi Xiaolei is actually quite complicated.

Even native-born Americans may not be able to figure out how to file their taxes, let alone Shi Xiaolei, a foreigner who has only been here for two years.

He knew his family's affairs well, and knew very well that it was impossible to figure out the twists and turns here with his own brain. Therefore, from the moment he cooperated with Stark to establish the pharmaceutical company, he entrusted the VIP customer service of the bank. The specialist helped him contact lawyers and accountants who were professional enough, and entrusted him with most of the items that required tax returns.

I only left the tax bill from the small restaurant and planned to handle it myself.

As for why he did this... it wasn't because the small restaurant had a special meaning in Shi Xiaolei's heart, it was just to leave a sense of ceremony.

After all, this is America. Think about the saying, "In this world, only death and paying taxes are eternal." Without the experience of going to the tax agency to declare and pay taxes, the daily life experience alone is obviously incomplete.

"Everything is sorted." 2b nodded, opened the drawer on the counter, and took out a brown paper bag.

"Thanks to you." Shi Xiaolei smiled and gave 2b a thumbs up: "If I were to do the math myself, I might not be able to figure it out clearly even if I was given ten days and a half."

I opened the bag and took out the tax return form that 2b spent two days sorting out. I first took a look at the total tax payable calculated at the end...

"Hey, are there so many?" The number was more than double what he imagined. Shi Xiaolei could not help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

"How much?" 2b tilted his head in confusion and pointed to the table on the receipt to explain: "Here is the amount offset after we donate to the church, and here..."

"Hiss~." After listening patiently, Shi Xiaolei gasped again: "In other words, if we don't have these, we will have to pay more?"

Compared with those projects entrusted to professionals, the taxes and fees that small restaurants need to pay are not even a fraction.

But in Shi Xiaolei's heart, he was fussing over the small numbers on one side and didn't care at all about the big numbers with a string of zeros hanging on the other side.

Isn't it a little strange and awkward?

In fact, this is all because Shi Xiaolei subconsciously divided his life into two parts.

The huge manor, the mountains of gold, and the messy industries are all the benefits brought by cheating. Eat what you eat, use what you use, but deep down in Shi Xiaolei's heart, he doesn't actually have much real feeling.

He never felt that he was special and hoped to live a smooth and stable life... Whether it was pretentious or pretentious, in short, in Shi Xiaolei's heart, only this humble little restaurant opened with his own skills was the real deal. of.
