Hong Fei, a redditor in American comics

Chapter 021 How dare you say you are one of your own even if you can’t sing?

In the rest area of ​​the bookstore, Hong Fei crossed his legs and leaned on a chair, looking at the person in front of him with eyes full of scrutiny.

Sitting opposite him was a very good-looking girl with wheat-colored skin and obvious mixed-race facial features.She didn't show any timidity under Hong Fei's gaze. Instead, she put on a nice smile openly.

Hong Fei: "Skye, you said you just graduated?"

"Yes, sir."

Hong Fei nodded, "What is your university major?"

"computer."

"This is strange. I graduated with a major in computer science. Why should I apply for a job as a bookstore clerk, and it's a small bookstore like mine?"

Skye did not panic, and still smiled and said: "Sir, I don't like computers. I prefer paper books. I really enjoy the feeling of holding a book and reading, so my ideal since I was a child is to open a bookstore by myself."

Hong Fei shook his head, noncommittal.

He recognized this girl from the beginning, not to mention that the other party did not hide the name "Skye".

A young and beautiful woman, a highly skilled hacker, an agent with great potential, and a superpower with untapped abilities.

Taken together, Skye has many specialties, and she is still very young. There is still considerable room for improvement in her various abilities in the future.

But the problem is that she has a lot of things going on.

Her character, temper, and acting style, as well as the complicated background of her parents’ relationship behind her, all mean two words: trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Hong Fei shook his head: "I'm sorry, I think this job is not suitable for you."

Skye was immediately stunned and hurriedly said: "Sir, may I know why?"

"It's very simple. This is a small bookstore. What I hope for is a middle-aged man who has a family and can calm down. But you are still too young, have a changeable mind, and have the courage to try and make breakthroughs. This is a good match for you." It's a good thing for you, but it lacks the stability I need most in the position of store clerk."

Skye blinked and said: "Sir, I promise that I am also very stable, and I will not leave easily..."

Hong Fei waved his hand, "We are about the same age. I probably know what you think, but I should have more say than you on this matter. You can't bear to stay in the bookstore every day waiting for customers. Time, because I am too.”

Skye pursed her lips, looking very unwilling.

The actual situation now is that Skye really needs a job and is eager to find a place to settle down. Even if it is an inconspicuous small bookstore, as long as she can pay wages, she can work for the time being, because she has just used He's hacked into some incredible organizations and is now being hunted.

The other party is indeed right, she will not stay here forever, because she still has many goals to accomplish.

The reason why she came to Hong Fei for an interview was, firstly, that such a store would not strictly check her background and identity, and secondly...

Skye regained her smile, as if the rejection just now had not happened. She flashed her beautiful eyes and said, "Sir, I would like to ask you one more question, are you Chinese?"

There is no doubt that she speaks Chinese, and her pronunciation is quite accurate.

"That's right, you?" Hong Fei pretended to be surprised.

Skye suddenly smiled like a flower: "I grew up in China and came here when I was in college. In fact, I am mixed race. You should have noticed."

Hong Fei looked astonished, "So it's like this, what a fate!"

"Yes, it's a foreign country, but we are our own people!" Skye said delicately.

Unexpectedly, Hong Fei's smile suddenly faded. He picked up his mobile phone and started playing music. Half a minute later, he asked, "Can you sing?"

Skye was stunned.

"Uh... what did you say?"

"I asked you if you can sing, even one line? Or tell me the title of the song?"

Skye frowned, looking confused: "Sorry, I don't think I've heard of it..."

"Ah!"

Hong Fei sneered and turned off the music, "You don't even know this song and how dare you say you are one of your own?"

Skye was completely confused.

This is also the last thing Hong Fei wants to hire Skye, she likes to lie too much.

Whether it was someone who was good to her or someone who was bad to her, she could always tell lies easily, and when they were exposed, she could always find an excuse to evade them.

It's like all the lies in her mouth are well-intentioned, and everyone who has been deceived must forgive her, otherwise she is careless and narrow-minded.

For example, right now, she lied and said that she grew up in China, and also said things about herself. She undoubtedly wanted to use this as evidence to make Hong Fei reconsider hiring her.

Isn't this moral kidnapping?

Hong Fei bent down and scribbled a series of numbers on a card, pushed it in front of Skye and said, "Since you do seem to have Chinese blood, when will you think that you have changed?" Stop lying. Call me and I can give you another job."

Skye took it instinctively, but her face became increasingly ugly.

Seeing her raising her head to say something, Hong Fei immediately interrupted: "I don't owe you anything. No matter what difficulties you have, it's all your own business. Of course I can help you, but I don't have to help you." Obligation. When you are happy, you cannot speak, when you are angry, you cannot speak. No matter what state you are in now, it is best not to speak."

Hong Fei turned around and left. Skye sat there and pursed her lips tightly. After a moment, she left with her head buried in her eyes and reluctantly left.

Shaking his head, Hong Fei began to browse the news while humming.

"Across the mountains, across the plains, across the rushing..."

Soon, he saw a piece of news that had just been updated. Wilson Fisk, the great philanthropist and spice merchant, had returned with a large order from abroad.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D. New York Branch.

Coulson sat in the office with Maria Hill, who was in charge of the New York branch, facing the camera, and a black face flickered on the screen.

The light in Fury's single eye was sharp, and he said without thinking: "Colson, the place where Tony was kidnapped was almost three feet to the ground, but neither the military nor we have found any space similar to the basement they described. What do you think?"

Coulson had already prepared a plan and immediately replied: "Director, although the place where we found Tony was indeed a militant stronghold, that place had been cleared by the military after Tony disappeared and before he was found. At that time, the military There was no strong counterattack, so I think that was not the place where Tony was imprisoned. They deliberately chose that place to confuse us and hide their true stronghold."

"What about Obadiah Stane?"

"He is the COO of Stark Industries and Tony's closest uncle. But judging from my chat with Tony, he obviously did not feel sad about this, even though it was claimed that Obadiah was killed in order to save Tony. The militants killed him brutally, but I think there must be something else going on."

Fury remained calm: "Tell me your guess."

"I think Obadiah is very likely to have entanglements with the militants who kidnapped Tony. Although Stark Industries weapons are not widespread in the Middle East, many weapons owned by the military are basically available to militants. I guess Obadiah Daiya was the one who sold them the weapons, and I suspect Tony's kidnapping was at his behest."
