Chapter 402 Amanda

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

Around the New Year, New York was hit by a blizzard again, and Manhattan was dyed white. Even so, it could not stop the busy pace of the world's financial center. Most of the companies located in Manhattan are still operating normally. When it is working hours, employees still have to report on time.

A girl with short blond hair walks into her father's financial trading company and prepares to start her day's work.

"Hi, Amanda."

The girl at the front desk of the company greeted him politely, "It's so early today."

Amanda smiled, "The weather is not good, so I've been out for a while." She called the card and was about to go to her office. Suddenly, she found that the cover of a magazine was extremely familiar on the bookshelf at the door of the company. She hurried over and said curiously, "Hey, this guy has actually appeared on the cover of Time magazine."

"Anne." Amanda took the Time magazine and said to the front girl, "Can I take it and check it out?"

The girl at the front desk quickly responded, "Yes."

"Thanks."

Amanda thanked him, picked up the magazine and went to his workstation. While there was still some time before going to work, he simply packed up his desk and placed the Time magazine in front of him.

The person in the magazine was her old friend Matthew Horner, who sat on the mottled and yellow grass, with a group of black children running by.

"Is this going to Africa?" Amanda was a little curious, "It seems to be Africa, right?"

She saw a line of words under the picture of the character, "Follow refugee children, Matthew Horner's charity path!"

In addition to this line of letters, there are also text comments on the sides of the character.

"Matthew Horner said: I feel heartbroken when I see the children in the refugee camp!"

Amanda gradually understood that Matthew seems to have gone to Africa to do charity.

Looking at the cover, some memories suddenly surged in her mind. When she first met Matthew, he was still an ordinary actor among the small actors in the Angel Agency, but now he is a big shot on the cover of Time magazine.

How many people could think of the present? Even if her friend, who made the most optimistic estimate, did not expect that he would become a top star in Hollywood.

Amanda shook her head and smiled, and opened the Times magazine. The content next to the cover was an exclusive interview article of the cover character.

After looking at the time, she just started to watch it.

In December 2005, Matthew Horner was appointed as the goodwill ambassador of the United Nations. Then, as a representative of the United Nations, he came to the refugee camp at the junction of Kenya and Somalia to explore the survival status of African refugees on the spot.

The experience had a profound impact on Matthew. He said it was the purest place he had ever been, where the people were "so generous and candid, kind and unmaterial."

Before this trip, he had no idea that the children there were still stepping on landmines every day. Matthew felt deeply sympathetic to the terrible situation of the African people, and he knew that he had to take these feelings into action immediately after returning to the United States.

Matthew told the UNHCR that if there was anything he could do, he was willing to do it. He also realized wisely that his identity as a movie star would definitely help him do something that is difficult for unknown people to do.

“If I use my reputation in a positive way, it might mean it can influence young people to get it involved, and it’s worth it.”

Matthew was born in poverty and experienced many years of poverty, confusion and confusion. This trip to Africa made him realize that the troubles he had withstood were nothing compared to the African people.

He said, “I spent too much time in my own small world in the past to sympathize with myself without waking up to see how many favorable conditions I have.”

Seeing this, Amanda scratched her head. It seemed that Matthew she knew had always been an optimistic and positive person, and it seemed that there was no confusion or anything like that, right?

Of course, she also knew that the interview must have been processed.

Amanda continues to read.

Matthew embarked on these journeys not to play the role of a big star doing good deeds, but to listen, watch, and understand. He had to face terrible situations and scenes he had never seen before. During the interview, he showed us every emotion he felt, every tear he shed, and every person he touched.

The data he listed tells us why he did this: there are more than 40 million refugees around the world today; one-sixth of the world's population lives less than $1 a day; 1.1 billion people lack safe drinking water; one-third of the world's places do not have electricity; more than 100 million out-of-school children worldwide; in Africa, one in every six children dies before the age of 5.

“I am very glad that I chose this path in my life,” he said in the interview. “Thanks to God for allowing me to meet these amazing people and to give me this incredible experience.”

At first Matthew wanted to hide his actor status from people, fearing that the career he chose would appear useless and superficial.

"The work I do is very strange when they think it is," Matthew said. But he soon realized that these people had no idea about his reputation and wealth, and had no sense of his actor status. If they seemed excited when they saw him, it was related to him coming in a United Nations car, not because he was a big Hollywood star.

In fact, there was even a little girl asking the Hollywood star for an address and began Matthew hesitating to provide such a private information.

“I thought about the issue of privacy for a while because in the United States I have been told to do this,” Matthew said, “but they shared their information with me, so I will share mine with them.”

The refugees don't care who he is, nor what movies he's made, they just care about the fact that he's trying to help them!

At the end of the interview, Matthew told us that he was planning to establish two charitable foundations, one dedicated to helping refugees in Africa and the other to provide better health and education for children among refugees…

Seeing this, Amanda stopped, closed the Times magazine, held her chin and started to think.

That guy Matthew is going to set up two charitable foundations? My cousin Helen Herman is better at agency affairs and should not have a deep understanding of these financial affairs, but she is different. She focuses on finance and business in the UK, and has also participated in the operation of her father's charitable foundation...

In her father's company, she didn't have much opportunity to show off. The eldest lady's identity gave her enough convenience, but she also let her do things and be restrained.

Helen is different from Matthew. She must have greater freedom and space for play. She and Helen are like sisters, and Matthew have been friends for many years. Institutions like Charity Foundation, they must hand them over to someone who is at ease enough to manage them.

Amanda suddenly laughed. After years of professional study and practice, she has grown into a confident girl and thinks there is absolutely no problem in managing two charitable foundations.

"I just don't know what Matthew and Helen are thinking..." Amanda thought for a while, "There should be no problem with my father. He also wants me to practice more. His abilities and experience are all honed a little bit."

Amanda looked at the office area and there was no one around. She quickly took out her cell phone and dialed Helen Herman's phone number first. Helen seemed to be surprised from her sleep, and her voice was obviously unhappy. However, after hearing that it was her, her mood improved rapidly. The two of them communicated for a few minutes, and the call ended.

Helen's meaning is very clear. The charity foundation is still under construction. If she can join in, she will definitely welcome her with both hands, but it depends on what Matthew means. As long as he nods his head to agree, nothing will be a problem.

Amanda is an action-oriented person. Since she had an idea, she would try to do it. She called Matthew's private number, but no one answered it for a long time.

After dialing twice, the phone was unanswered.

Amanda looked at the time. There was a time difference between New York and Los Angeles. He guessed that Matthew might still be sleeping, so he turned his phone to mute it.

Amanda was not interested in working throughout the morning, and he picked up his phone from time to time to see that Matthew had her number. In this situation in the past, Matthew would come back soon.

It was not until noon that the phone finally vibrated. Amanda picked it up and took a look. It was Matthew's number. He came to an unmanned reception room in the company and pressed the answer button.

"Sorry, Amanda." Matthew explained on the other side of the phone, "I forgot the phone in my assistant's car yesterday, and I just got it."

"It's okay." Amanda didn't hesitate to Matthew and said directly, "I just read Time magazine and saw you say you want to set up two charitable foundations?"

On the other side, Matthew was standing inside the Warner Studios door and could see many reporters gathering outside the door. He lowered his voice and said, "The construction has begun. Helen is responsible for the specifics. The progress is not ideal at the moment. Helen said she is not professional."

"Do you need me to recommend a professional for you?"

Hearing Amanda's words, Matthew immediately remembered that the girl's family background was very good, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'm short of professional talents."

Amanda's crisp voice rang out from the other side of the phone, "What do you think of me?"

"You?" Matthew was a little surprised, but asked, "Are you going to work in Los Angeles, your father agrees?"

"Of course, agree." Amanda's words were straightforward, "When I just graduated two years ago, I worked at my father's charity foundation for a long time."

Matthew thought for two seconds and said, "This is it, Amanda. If you have time, come to Los Angeles and we'll have an interview."

Hearing that there, Matthew hung up the phone and asked Bella Anderson to leave Warner Studios together.

More than 20 reporters immediately surrounded him, and Matthew knew that this was the effect of the cover character of Time magazine.
