People Working for System in Marvel - Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Skye
After a period of recuperation, Chloe’s sallow complexion gradually returned to fairness, and her shriveled cheeks began to have flesh.
Chloe likes the current life, has Grandpa Earl, has the boss brother, eats three meals a day and can go to school… Compared with before, it is like a dream.
Chloe often prays that if it’s a dream, never wake up.
In the past, my father used to scold her often, saying that she was a useless burden, and he wanted to throw her away. Therefore, Chloe’s little mind has formed a concept: can do things to have value, and value will not be abandoned.
Working makes Chloe feel at ease, but now, if you want to work, you have to finish your homework first.
There is not much homework for monks in primary schools in the United States, almost no homework in the first and second grades, and some starting in the third grade, mainly mathematics, reading, and some hands-on practice.
The most troublesome thing before was multiplication and division. Since reciting the “Nine-Nine Multiplication Table”, Chloe no longer worries about mathematics.
“Why doesn’t the school teach the nine-nine multiplication table? It’s so easy to use…” Chloe muttered, habitually wanting to bite the pen, but held back.
“Hello, little sister.” A gentle voice suddenly sounded: “Is the boss there?”
Chloe was startled and saw a beautiful big sister with a black mountaineering bag. The beautiful sister was very kind and smiling, and Chloe calmed down.
She timidly called out, “Grandpa Earl!”
Old Earl, who was restocking, stuck his head out from behind the shelf and saw a young girl with Asian features, thinking it was a supermarket customer.
Old Earl smiled and asked, “Hello, do you need anything?”
The young girl said, “Hello, I’m applying for a job based on the job advertisement.”
“Applying? Do you have an appointment?”
Old Earl was stunned for a moment, and Mike explained this on purpose. It’s only been a week, and no one has come to apply for the job, and Old Earl almost forgot.
“No.” Skye hesitated.
Americans are accustomed to arranging daily schedules and doing things daily, so they don’t like unscheduled work meetings.
“Oh.” Old Earl didn’t think about this, “I’m an employee here, and the boss is upstairs. Wait a moment, I’ll go to the boss.”
“Okay, please.” The girl was polite and introduced herself, “I’m Skye.”
Old Earl smiled and said, “Earl, everyone calls me Old Earl.”
Mike’s eyes lit up when he learned that someone had applied for the job, “Oh, someone finally came to apply, damn it.”
Old Earl said: “The work place is in hell’s kitchen, and the salary is higher than normal. Most people subconsciously think it is a prank or a scam…”
Mike was skeptical: “Is that so?”
Old Earl said: “It should be. And according to your requirements, most of the people who meet the requirements are middle-aged people who need to support their families, and they dare not change jobs casually. Therefore, to find such talents, it is best to go through headhunting websites.”
Mike stared: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”
Old Earl: “You didn’t ask.”
The two went downstairs.
Seeing Skye, two thoughts popped into Mike’s head-
First thought: “Beautiful, what a pity.”
The girl in front of me fits Mike’s aesthetic very well. As the saying goes, it’s not tiring to work together with men and women… But the girl is too young, in her early twenties, not like a manager who meets her needs.
You can’t just be hired just because she’s beautiful, after all, the annual salary is 180,000 US dollars.
Interesting souls are one in a thousand, beautiful young ladies and sisters are two thousand a night.
Eighteen thousand, expensive!
Second thought: “Isn’t this Quake Girl?!”
Skye, Inhumans, real name Daisy Johnson, a future excellent employee of S.H.I.E.L.D.
“Is it an undercover agent sent by SHIELD?”
Mike thought to himself, and thought it was impossible, Skye’s recruitment by Coulson should be after the New York War of the Women’s Federation…
“Hello,
Mr. Mike, my name is Skye, and I am applying for the position of manager.” Skye tried to look confident.
Mike thought for a while, but decided to refuse: “Sorry, this position requires managers with more than five years of work experience…”
Skye put on mature makeup and looked 25 or 26 years old, but his actual age was only 21 or 22. How could she have more than five years of work experience.
“Mr. Mike! I have carefully read your requirements for the position, and I also know that my qualifications are insufficient. It is not impulsive or over-the-top to apply for this position, and I have prepared quite well. Mr. Mike, please give me opportunity to show my skill.” Skye was prepared, took out the laptop from the big backpack, and said, “It won’t take too much time for you.”
Being idle is also idle, listening and asking for money, not to mention that the other party is a beautiful woman, Mike pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said, “Okay, five minutes, if you can sleep… Convince me, I can give you a job, let’s start.”
“Thank you, thank you.” Skye was a little excited, “Don’t worry, you will never be disappointed.”
Two minutes have passed…
Five minutes have passed…
ten minutes….
“So… for this job, you wrote a whole set of special software?” Mike couldn’t help but widen his eyes. Wouldn’t it be nice to go to Microsoft with this ability?
Mike asked, “It took a lot of time, didn’t it?”
If someone successfully applied for this job before her, wouldn’t it be useless?
Skye replied: “Some modules can be found online with ready-made codes, and they can be used with a little modification. The workload is not as large as imagined.”
It took a while to break through the RSA encryption system of SHIELD once again. Fortunately, the recruitment website was hacked, and other people couldn’t see Mike’s job advertisement at all – this is the truth of no one applying!
The unemployment rate in the United States is very high, and the annual salary of 180,000 is enough for a bunch of people to play a dog’s brain. What is the work place in hell’s kitchen!
“It’s amazing!” Mike had to admit, “Okay, this job belongs to you temporarily, a three-month trial period. During the trial period, the salary is 80%, and you can choose a single apartment as a free dormitory, Of course if you have your house, it would be better.”
Skye said: “It’s just right, my house lease is up, it’s good to change the place. Thank you boss.”
Mike: “Just call me Mike. By the way, do you need help moving?”
Skye waved his hand quickly: “No, no.”
Mike said: “You’re welcome, really.”
Skye pointed to the mountaineering bag and the laptop on the table, and said, “This is all my belongings.”
“Uh… well.”
After a simple onboarding procedure, Mike suggested: “How about eating hot pot at night as a welcome to Skye?”
Old Earl raised his hands in approval: “I agree.”
Chloe didn’t speak, her flashing eyes betrayed her thoughts.
Skye: “Will it be too much trouble for everyone?”
Mike: “No. We often eat hot pot, just add some tableware.”
Old Earl smiled and gave a thumbs up, “Mike cooking is superb!”
Chloe plucked up the courage and said, “Yes, it’s great.”
Mike asked: “By the way, what do you want to eat?”
Skye: “It’s okay, I don’t choose.”
Mike: “Okay.”
The soup base is old soup, and the dipping ingredients are ready-made, just need to add some ingredients.
Mike said: “I’m going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, old Earl, Chloe, you two take Skye to the apartment, and help clean up by the way.”
Old Earl: “No problem.”
Skye: “No, no, everyone is gone, what about the supermarket?”
Mike hung the closing sign on the door panel, “The problem is solved, so happy to decide.”
in the elevator.
“The door of the supermarket is not locked, will there be a problem?” Skye worries that the law and order in Hell’s Kitchen is notoriously bad.
“No problem.” Old Earl was sure.
Skye didn’t know where Old Earl got his confidence, and she was suspicious.
Skye has a natural talent for being a secret agent, and perhaps that’s why she always finds holes in seemingly seamless firewalls.
Through chatting, Skye learned that old Earl was originally a tramp, and Mike gave him a stable life. Chloe, whose parents were both deceased, was taken away by gangs, and Mike rescued her.
The conversation basically revolves around Mike.
Skye became more and more curious about Mike as he learned more.
How did a law student at Princeton University go to Hell’s Kitchen to open a small supermarket?
How to rescue Chloe from the vicious gang?
At a young age, the supermarket business is bleak, how can I own so many real estate?
Is it the rich second generation who doesn’t want to inherit the family business?
Mike bought back, and the three were already waiting in the supermarket.
Mike asked, “So soon?”
Skye replied, “Just some dust, just wipe it off.”
Mike said: “I hired a housekeeping company to do the cleaning before. Whether to continue to hire this company, or change another one, or hire two full-time cleaners, it’s up to you.”
Skye: “Yes, let me help cut the vegetables.”
At this moment, Skye suddenly felt relieved, and a warm current was flowing through his body.
so warm…
Growing up in an orphanage and wandering in various foster families, isn’t she longing for this simple and warm feeling?
