Chapter 47: Trip to Africa

Don't expect any star-level standards or central air conditioning in African hotels. If there is a broken electric fan in the room, you should be thankful.

Otherwise, you can only endure the harassment of mosquitoes and insects, with the windows wide open, hoping for a breeze to blow into the room. But even if a breeze really comes, it’s probably a hot wind that makes people uncomfortable.

Henry’s treatment was no different from the protagonist of this charity trip, Audrey Hepburn; both were in single rooms.

If there was any difference from other members of the visiting group, it was that his assistant’s room was next to the employer’s, which was convenient for communication and handling matters.

However, Henry didn't sleep in the middle of the night, not because he was unaccustomed to the African climate, but simply to write the visiting materials.

Don't think that for this kind of UN activity, Audrey Hepburn only needs to go out and find a place to pose for a few photos to finish the job.

Every time she arrives at a location, she must make a visit record, with photos as evidence. When the whole activity is over, a visit report must be submitted.

In addition to explaining the situation of local child protection agencies and education in Somalia, this report has a more important purpose: to attract participants to donate generously during fundraising activities.

Originally, these records and reports were written by Audrey Hepburn herself; photos were provided by the recording officer accompanying the Children’s Fund.

As an assistant, Henry naturally took over this work, writing drafts, and then revised by Audrey Hepburn. This undoubtedly greatly reduced Ms. Hepburn’s workload; such treatment was not available when the old Anton was an assistant before.

And the typewriter Ms. Hepburn used to use is now placed in Henry’s room... gathering dust.

Yes, this thing was idled by Henry. Or rather, it wasn't used that frequently.

It was mainly considering the old lady’s presbyopia problem; the typewriter is not like a future computer, where you can adjust the font size at will. So Henry simply used handwriting.

He didn't use cursive, nor did he consider fancy fonts, just regular printed letters, a few sizes larger than the typewriter font. So Audrey didn't need to put on reading glasses to struggle to read the things he typed with the typewriter.

Another reason for using handwriting was that when Henry let go of using super speed, the speed of handwriting was faster than using a typewriter.

After all, the time it takes for the typewriter’s mechanical arm to pop out and reset is fixed. If a Kryptonian goes full speed, it will only make this poor machine smoke, and the mechanical arms will fight each other. It’s better to write by hand, just be careful not to poke through the paper.

As for the content, it’s even simpler. After reading the few templates Audrey submitted before, Henry just used the same template, changed the content, and it could be released.

In any case, this thing is similar to an official document. If anyone plays with flashbacks, inserts, montage descriptions, and then buries a little foreshadowing, suspense... who is this trying to force to death?

Official documents should be like eight-legged essays, simple and clear; seeing which paragraph, you know what the content theme of this paragraph is. Instead of letting people guess, think, and read through the front and back to understand what this nonsense is about.

For Henry, who had experienced exam-oriented education before crossing over, this was nothing; he didn't even need to start his super brain for deep thinking, he could make up four or five or six.

Although Audrey Hepburn was not a poor student, she actively enriched herself after she became famous. But compared to a young man like Henry who could secretly open a cheat, the age of sixty still made her feel powerless many times.

So the benefits of Henry becoming an assistant were soon noticed by Ms. Hepburn. At least she could have a good night’s sleep every night, as long as she could endure this damn weather.

Even for the photos used for the visit, Audrey provided cameras, film, and materials and tools for developing photos, letting Henry toss them around.

So during the trip, in addition to assisting with daily affairs, you could also see the assistant with a camera around his neck running back and forth, taking photos for activities everywhere.

Developing photos at night is even simpler. Just use a piece of opaque black cloth to separate a space in the room, and you don't need any red light. Henry can develop photos in the dark.

Then in the spare time of the next day’s activities, he could discuss the content of the report and select the photos to be used with Audrey. This greatly reduced the time and energy Audrey spent on these trivial matters and reduced her burden.

In short, Henry, who had never done assistant work in two lifetimes, relied on his super brain with a strong memory and the bull-horse spirit cultivated by 996 in his previous life, and forced himself into a 007 talent.

But he didn't feel tired at all. Although the master he followed was no longer in her prime, those smart big eyes were more wise than in the past; her voice was not much different from the movie, just as pleasant and moving.

Not to mention her thoughtful mood and words full of wisdom.

Before today, Henry always felt that the Virgin was a persona, or even a derogatory term with the opposite meaning to the literal meaning.

Those who consider themselves Virgins are actually all Virgin bitches who cannot self-consistently logically, and are full of selfishness and calculations behind their backs.

Once their own logic is used to attack their own remarks, they can only be furious and scold people.

But after truly meeting someone who is devoted to public welfare, the previous stereotypes have changed. It turns out that there are really such selfless people.

However, it cannot be denied that Audrey Hepburn is already in a state of no worries about food and clothing, so she has the spare energy to devote herself to these public welfare undertakings.

Just like the old proverb: If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are successful, you should help the world. Ms. Hepburn has clearly reached the second stage.

Compared to this person who seriously considers for the children, will be sad and tearful when seeing unbearable places, and will have a heartfelt smile when seeing the children’s innocent laughter, the other members of the team can be said to be in a state of demons dancing.

It is said that diplomats are like half spies, and public welfare activities in the name of charity are usually not simple.

Henry will not comment on the accompanying personnel sent by the United Nations. In addition to assisting Audrey Hepburn’s visit schedule, they also have their own tasks.

Even the security team introduced by the insurance company to the film queen who is devoted to public welfare is not as simple as it looks on the surface.

The heavy weapons that Audrey reluctantly agreed to carry are beyond imagination. Light machine guns, grenades, landmines, these equipment that obviously do not belong to the security field, attracted Henry’s attention.

However, Henry couldn't explain what he saw with his X-ray eyes, and didn't want to expose the other party. Because Audrey Hepburn’s star halo became a protective umbrella for them, once exposed, it is not certain who will be hurt.
