Chapter 14 Skye (1/3)

After a period of recuperation, Chloe’s sallow complexion gradually turned white, and her shriveled cheeks began to have flesh.

Chloe likes the current life, with Grandpa Earl, with the boss brother, eating three meals a day, and being able to go to school… Compared to before, it was like a dream.

Chloe often prays, if it is a dream, then never wake up.

In the past, my father used to scold her, saying that she was a useless burden and he wanted to throw her away. Therefore, Chloe’s little mind formed a concept: only if you can do things, you have value, and if you have value, you will not be abandoned.

Work made Chloe feel at ease, but now, to work, he has to finish his homework first.

The United States does not have much homework for elementary school monks. There are almost no homework in the first and second grades. There are some only in the third grade, mainly mathematics, reading, and some hands-on practice.

The most troublesome thing before was multiplication and division. Since memorizing the “Nine-Nine Multiplication Table”, Chloe no longer has to worry about mathematics.

“Why don’t the school teach the nine-nine-nine multiplication table? It’s so easy to use…” Chloe mumbled, habitually wanting to bite his pen, but he held it back.

“Hello, little sister.” Suddenly there was a gentle voice: “Is the boss here?”

Chloe was taken aback when he saw a beautiful big sister carrying a black hiking bag. The pretty sister was very kind and smiling, and Chloe was a little bit calm.

She timidly called people: “Grandpa Earl!”

Old Earle, who was replenishing goods, poked his head out from behind the shelf and saw a young girl with Asian characteristics, thinking it was a supermarket customer.

Old Earle smiled and asked, “Hello, do you need anything?”

The young girl said, “Hello, I applied for the job based on the job advertisement.”

“Apply? Is there an appointment?”

Old Earle was taken aback for a moment, and Mike deliberately explained it. It’s just that after a week, no one came to apply for the job, Old Earle almost forgot.

“No.” Skye was a little nervous.

People in the United States are accustomed to arranging daily schedules and doing things daily, so they don’t like work meetings without appointments.

“Oh.” Old Earle didn’t think about it, “I am an employee here, and the boss is upstairs. Wait a moment, I will go to the boss.”

“Okay, trouble you.” The girl was very polite and introduced herself “I’m Skye.”

Old Earl smiled and said, “Earl, everyone calls me Old Earl.”

When he heard that someone was applying, Mike’s eyes lit up, “Oh, someone has finally come to apply, damn it.”

Old Earle said: “The workplace is in Hell’s Kitchen, and the salary is higher than normal. Most people subconsciously think it is a prank or fraud…”

Mike was skeptical: “Is that so?”

Old Earle 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 dare not change jobs at will. Therefore, to find such talents, it is best to go through the headhunting website.”

Mike stared: “Why didn’t you say it earlier?!”

Old Earle: “You didn’t ask either.”

The two went downstairs.

Seeing Skye, two thoughts came to Mike’s head–



The first thought: “beautiful, it’s a pity.”

The girl in front of me is very much in line with Mike’s aesthetics. As the saying goes, it is not tiring to work with men and women… But the girl is too young, in her early twenties, unlike a manager who meets her needs.

You can’t hire just because you are beautiful, after all, the annual salary is 180,000 USD.

The interesting soul is one in a million, and the beautiful young lady is two thousand a night.

One hundred eighty thousand, it’s expensive!

The second thought: “Isn’t this a Vibe girl?!”

Skye, Inhumans, real name Daisy Johnson, outstanding employees of S.H.I.E.L.D in the future.

“Is it an undercover agent sent by S.H.I.E.L.D?”

Mike thought to himself, and felt it was impossible. Skye was recruited by Phil Coulson after the New York War of the Women’s Federation…

“Hello, Mr. Tang, my name is Skye, and I am applying for the position of manager.” Skye tried his best to make himself look confident.

Mike thought for a while, but decided to refuse: “Sorry, this position needs managers with more than five years of work experience…”

Skye put on a mature makeup. He looked twenty-five and six years old, and his actual age was only twenty-two. How could he have more than five years of work experience.

“Mr. Tang! I have carefully read your requirements for the position, and I know that my qualifications are insufficient. It is not impulsive or irresponsible to apply for the job. I have made quite ample preparations. Mr. Tang, please show me your own Opportunity.” Skye was prepared, took out the laptop from the big backpack, and said: “It won’t take you too much time.”

I’m idle and I’m idle, and I don’t need money to listen to it, not to mention that the other party is a beauty, Mike pretended to hesitation, and said: “Well, five minutes, if you can sleep…convince me, I can give you a job, let’s get started. .”

“Thank you, thank you.” Skye was a little excited, “rest assured, I will never let you down.”

Two minutes passed…

Five minutes passed…

ten minutes……

“So… for this job, you wrote a whole set of special software?” Mike couldn’t help but stare wide. Isn’t this Ability good to go to Microsoft?

Mike asked: “It took a lot of time, right?”

If someone successfully applied for this job before her, wouldn’t it be useless?

Skye replied: “Some modules can be found on the Internet with ready-made codes, which can be used with a slight modification, and the workload is not as large as imagined.”

It took a while. This time was able to break Aegis’s RSA encryption system again. Fortunately, the recruitment website was hacked. No one else could see Mike’s job advertisements. This is the truth that no one applied for!

The United States has a high unemployment rate, and an annual salary of 180,000 is enough for a bunch of people to play out their brains. What a place to work in Hell’s Kitchen!

“That’s great!” Mike had to admit, “Well, this job belongs to you temporarily, and the trial period is three months. During the trial period, the salary is 80%. You can choose a single apartment as a free dormitory. You can definitely not.”

Skye said: “It’s just right, my house’s 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 need, no need.”

Mike said: “You are welcome, really.”

Skye pointed to the mountaineering bag and desktop laptop on the ground, and said, “This is all my belongings.”

“Um… well.”

After going through the simple entry formalities, Mike suggested: “How about having hot pot in the evening as Skye’s welcome?”

Old Earle raised his hands in agreement: “I agree.”

Chloe didn’t say a word, her flashing eyes betrayed her idea.

Skye: “Will it be too troublesome for everyone?”

Mike: “No. We often eat hot pot and just add some dishes.”

Old Earle smiled and gave a thumbs up, “Tianchao Hotpot is this…superb!”

Chloe plucked up the courage and said, “Yes, it’s great.”

Mike asked: “By the way, what do you want to eat and what can’t you eat?”

Skye: “Either way, I won’t choose.”

Mike: “Okay.”

The soup base is old soup, the dipping material is ready-made, only need to add some ingredients.

Mike said: “I’ll go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, Old Earle, Chloe, you two will bring Skye to the apartment, and help clean up by the way.”

Old Earle: “No problem.”

Skye: “No need, no, everyone is gone, what about the supermarket?”

Mike hung the closing sign on the door, “The problem is solved, it was so happily decided.”

In the elevator.

“The supermarket door is unlocked, won’t it be a problem?” Skye worried that Hell’s Kitchen was notoriously poor in law and order.

“No problem.” Old Earle was sure.

Skye didn’t know where Old Earle’s self-confidence came from, and he was skeptical.

Skye is born with the ability to be an agent, maybe this is the reason why she can always find loopholes in the seemingly seamless firewall.

Through the chat, Skye learned that Old Earle was originally a homeless man, and Mike gave him a stable life. Chloe’s parents died and were taken away by gang members. Mike saved her.

The topic basically revolved around Mike.

As he learned more and more, Skye became more and more curious about Mike.

How can a top law student at Princeton University go to Hell’s Kitchen to open a small supermarket?



How to rescue Chloe from the vicious gang?

How can you own so many properties at a young age and the supermarket business is bleak?

Is it the rich second generation who don’t want to inherit the family business?

The three of them are already waiting in the supermarket after Mike purchases them.

Mike asked: “So fast?”

Skye replied: “Just some dust, just wipe it.”

Mike said: “I asked the housekeeping company to do the cleaning work before. It’s up to you to continue to hire this company, change another one, or hire two full-time cleaners.”

Skye: “Yes, let me help chop vegetables.”

At this moment, Skye suddenly felt relieved, and a warm current wandered through his body.

So warm…

When she grew up in an orphanage and wandered through various foster homes, isn’t she what she desires for such a simple and warm feeling?
