EP three hundred and six. Persuasion
Judging by her appearance, she is slightly older than Kangna, but if you look closely, you can see that the little girl huddled in the cardboard box is actually very thin. If she stands up straight, she may not be taller than Kangna.
Eleven or twelve years old? Maybe thirteen years old... In Shi Xiaolei's opinion, this little girl named Skye is definitely not fourteen years old.
She was probably at the age when she had just graduated from elementary school and was entering junior high school, but the firmness in her words was like that of an adult who has seen through the world... I felt the strong caution in the little girl's words and her reluctance to obey common sense. To be honest, , Shi Xiaolei was really in a dilemma.
So, should we continue to meddle in other people's business and give some more advice?
After a moment of hesitation, Shi Xiaolei made a choice. Looking at the little girl, he deliberately forced a kind smile: "Um...Skye, right? I heard from Kangna that you have always wanted to find your biological parents?"
"..." There was no response. The little girl's eyes were full of doubts, and her alertness became more intense.
Although she deliberately pretended to be strong and vowed that "I can do it myself," in the final analysis, she was still a child who had not grown up and had not yet learned to hide her thoughts.
The expression on his face clearly said, 'Don't say you can help me find my biological parents, I don't believe it.'
"Haha, you misunderstood." Seeing the meaning in Skye's eyes, Shi Xiaolei scratched his head and defended with a smile: "It's not easy to help you find your biological parents. I don't dare to pack them for you now. Ticket. I mean, you have to save your own life first, and then you can think about it, right?"
"How long do you think you can survive living in this cardboard box in such a cold weather? You're not sick now, you're just lucky. If the weather were colder, or if you didn't find anything to eat for several days in a row, with your current small body … To be honest, I really don’t think you can hold on for long.”
"It can be seen that you are very strong and don't want others to treat you like a child. In this case, you should think about what choices an adult would make if he were in your current situation... If it were me, I would give up other aspects of persistence for the time being.”
"Now that you have decided to face this cruel world like an adult, you must give up your illusions and learn to make choices like an adult. Skye, in the far east, there is an old saying that 'leaving the green mountains there is not afraid of running out of firewood.' Can you Do you understand the meaning of this sentence..." Staring at Skye, seeing a trace of confusion in her eyes, Shi Xiaolei sighed and shrugged helplessly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. To put it simply, it is to achieve what is currently impossible. To realize your wishes, you must first take care of yourself for the distant future. If there is something wrong with your body, then no matter how lofty your ideals are, it will be difficult to get a chance to realize them.”
Here in the United States, although the name Skye is not very common, it is not very rare either.
But he named himself Skye...
Combining the age and appearance described by Kang Na when she came back to report before, as well as the little girl's experience of being adopted and abandoned many times, Shi Xiaolei had actually made a guess early on, feeling that this little girl living on the streets might have appeared in The Shockwave girl in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
However, Shi Xiaolei would stay after the event and come to check the situation in person, not because he was interested in Skye's potential and wanted to take him under his wing in advance.
After all, this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not a world set in comics - although in the plot of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", it was Shockwave who stepped forward to transform Glenn Talbot into the King of Power. Flying into space, he prevented him from splitting the earth in half, but judging from the battle, Shockwave Girl's ability was obviously not as powerful as depicted in the comics.
Taking a step back, even if Shockwave Girl's ability is really strong, it is not inferior to her performance in the comic version...
From Shi Xiaolei's point of view, there was no need to worry about her power.
Now there are already Kangna, 2B, Bayonetta, Yixian and others around. Putting aside the ship girls from Yixian who will definitely arrive one after another because of the construction machine she brought, with Shi Xiaolei's rhythm of opening a blind box every other month... you can tell with your toes that in In the years since Skye has grown up, he must have gathered a group of ruthless people around him who are more capable than her.
In other words, whether Skye was the Shockwave girl in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." that Connor was talking about was not the key reason why Shi Xiaolei wanted to take care of her so actively.
It was just because the other party was still an underage child, wandering alone in this cold winter, and really needed someone to take care of her, so Shi Xiaolei came here specially to ask her questions, hoping to give her some help.
"So, how can you help me?"
From Shi Xiaolei's words, I felt his sincerity without asking for anything in return. After hesitating for a moment, Skye's attitude finally relaxed a little.
"Emmm..." This question is very important, so you can't answer it wrong. After thinking cautiously for a while, Shi Xiaolei raised his gaze and looked at Skye who poked his head out of the cardboard box: "If I said 'I can provide you with a place to live'... I will take care of you unilaterally, you will definitely not accept it. . How about we arrange this matter according to the way adults do?"
"..." Staring at Shi Xiaolei, Skye said "continue" without speaking.
"I opened a small shop. If you don't mind, you can come and work in my shop." Shi Xiaolei smiled and said his plan: "The shop sells catering. Come work here, you don't have to." Worrying about being hungry... I mean, no matter you or anyone else, as long as you work in my store, work meals are standard benefits. "
As he spoke, he paid careful attention to the changes in Skye's expression.
Seeing that she did not show resistance, but instead showed a look of expectation, Shi Xiaolei shouted in his heart, "There is a way." He struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Considering that you don't have a place to live now, I can give the staff a rest." A small space is set aside in the room as your temporary residence. As for the accommodation fee... we will all go home after the business is over, and you will be the only one left to look at the store. This is considered an extra job. According to common sense, I I have to give you overtime pay, how about using it to offset your accommodation fee?”
"Oh, by the way, there are also wages for work." After saying this, Shi Xiaolei deliberately held his chin and pretended to have a serious expression: "You are still a child, and your identity is not very clear. I will take you in the store. To work here, I may need to take some risks...emmm, based on other people's salary standards, you can only get three-quarters. The extra one-quarter is the price of taking risks. What do you think? "
