I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 795 Today's charity banquet is very busy
Three days after Peter returned to New York, everything was just as Strange had said, with absolutely no trace of Mephisto plotting anything.

This is especially reminiscent of Mephisto's schemes.

But life had to go on. When school was over, Peter picked up his backpack and prepared to leave, adding to Harry and Amadeus, "I have something to take care of, so you might not be able to reach me later."

"Oh, wait, what happened? I'll go to the Spiderweb base to make preparations."

Harry quickly slung his backpack over his shoulder and prepared to leave, but Peter immediately stopped him: "No, no, no, it's not about that. I'm planning to help out at the charity banquet today, but speaking of which, it's true, it would be nice if you guys could come and help out too..."

"I have to go now!"

After saying that, Harry grabbed his backpack and ran off. Peter shook his head helplessly and looked at Amadeus. Amadeus adjusted his glasses and said, "Sorry, but I have a few experiments to do at Baxter Building, so I have to go too."

"Ok."

Watching his two friends leave, Peter shook his head helplessly and then prepared to leave as well. Cindy, who was standing nearby, also stood up and asked Peter, "Do you need any help?"

"Oh no, that was just me and them... Don't you have anything to do?"

"No, I don't have anything to do today."

Peter hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Aunt May will definitely be happy to have more help. Let's meet at the school gate."

Peter said goodbye to Cindy for a moment, then went to his locker, unlocked it, and took out his belongings. Just as he was about to leave, Gwen ran over and found him: "Peter, are you free today?"

"Is there anything important?"

"No, I was just thinking... if you're free, how about we go on patrol together? Just the two of us."

After Gwen said that, she looked at Peter, who seemed a little embarrassed: "I already told Aunt May that I would go and help her today..."

"Oh, okay then, I'll go by myself... Wait, I remember Senior Felicia helped out at the charity banquet before, isn't she? Will she be there today too?"

"I do not know."

Peter hesitated for a moment about whether to tell Gwen Cindy that he would be there, but he felt that it would be troublesome if he told Gwen, so he didn't tell her.

But Gwen has made a very crucial decision.

"Since Aunt Mei said that Ci Yan Banquet needs help, then I'll go and help too!"

"..."

Peter hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "I invited Harry and Amadeus to help me..."

"They agreed? That's fine then."

"No, they refused..."

"Oh, so you're still short-staffed?"

"So Cindy told me she could help..."

There was a brief silence between the two, then Gwen smiled and said, "It's alright, it's good to have more people to help. Speaking of which, this must be Mu En's first time at the Ciyan Banquet, right? I happen to be quite familiar with the place, so I can give her a brief introduction."

Peter thought for a while about how to respond, and then only had one answer: "...Thank you for your help."
-
"Oh, it's you all. Are you here to help?"

At this very moment, the person who least needed to be here appeared: Felicia, wearing an apron and oven mitts, carrying a tray of baked cookies, and smiling at the three people in front of her.

Peter, Gwen, and Cindy.

Peter wanted to let out a long sigh, but hesitated, so he held it in. He simply asked Felicia innocently, "Senior, you're here to help too?"

"Yes, Ms. Mei messaged me saying that Ciyan Banquet might be short-staffed today and asked if I could come and help, so I agreed."

This really has nothing to do with me.

Peter muttered to himself as he began to help. He first told Gwen and Cindy where the women's changing room was, then went to the men's changing room, put on the volunteer jacket for the charity event, and went out.

Peter first went into the hall. He was a regular at the Feast Party, so he could see that there were some extra temporary beds available.

Even more outrageous is the front desk of the charity banquet. The front desk of the charity banquet is also responsible for introducing cheap rental housing and job search services to the homeless. However, homeless people generally do not use these two services. But now, there are long queues in front of all three front desks.

Peter carried a plate of cookies to Aunt May, who was chatting with the elderly people at the charity banquet, and then glanced at the old woman: "Is that Ms. Shuri? Is she here again?"

“Her pension is not enough, and more importantly, she doesn’t want to trouble her daughter. Her daughter lives with her husband, and both of them work to support the family. She is worried that going there would increase their burden.”

As she spoke, Aunt May took the baking tray from Peter's hands: "Miss Hardy's cookies? Everyone loves her cookies, and she's very hardworking and quick to make them."

"It seems you quite like her, Aunt May."

"I really like her. She's beautiful, speaks nicely, and most importantly, has a kind heart. Her family is definitely wealthy, but she's still willing to come to places like this to help homeless people."

As Aunt May distributed the cookies, she sighed and said, "It's such a pity."

"What's a pity?"

“A girl as outstanding as her would definitely not be interested in you, and our family is not good enough for her.”

……

So Aunt Meryl Streep, what are you regretting?

Peter shook his head helplessly, then asked Aunt May about something else: "Why are there suddenly so many homeless people? And so many people looking for work?"

Aunt May gave Peter a strange look: "I thought you knew better than I did. You don't know?"

"...Could it be a business war between Roxon and Stark?"

"That's only one aspect. Many power companies were acquired by the two companies and then laid off employees. But these companies didn't have many employees to begin with, so they could still survive for a few months after the layoffs."

Aunt May shook her head as she spoke: "Then Stark Industries' products ran into trouble, and many people who bought Stark Industries stock lost money or even went bankrupt, leaving many people homeless."

Aunt May shook her head as she spoke, saying that not only charity banquets, but also Kingpin's charitable organizations and other charitable organizations were now basically overcrowded.

Almost no one was spared.
