Chapter 26: Mindy's Abacus

When Louis and Mindy met, it was two or three months ago. At that time, he had just opened the store not long ago, and on that day, he happened to be recruiting a store clerk, and this little girl was the only two applicants. one.

Needless to say, another candidate is Peter Parker, who works in the store.

In other words, this little girl, two or three months ago...

She's still, Peter Parker's rival!

In the end, Louie chose Peter Parker, after all, he is also Spider-Man.

And Mindy is also a superhero.

But, compared to Parker, she...

Not even a star.

As for child labor?This is not the main reason why Louis didn't choose her. After all, in Hell's Kitchen, many laws don't work, and there are simply too many child labor here.

After all, in this place in Hell's Kitchen, a large number of children who dropped out of school are working part-time.

This is the most chaotic place in New York, absolutely not one of them!

At the same time, this is also the favorite place of street heroes, after all, there are enough criminals here.

Just an ordinary passerby you meet on the street.

Maybe the other party is some big robber.

Maybe even a big boss.

Glancing at Mindy, who is at most eleven or twelve years old, Louis did not expose this little girl. In fact, he already knew the identity of the other party. The other party is one of the street heroes of the Marvel series, and belongs to the weaker one. kind of hero.

Her nickname is "Super Killer Girl", and she has a father nicknamed "Big Daddy".

Father and daughter often hang out in Hell's Kitchen, fighting crime.

Then, part-time job of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Most of the money they get from criminals is donated anonymously.

Just a little left over for your own expenses.

However, it's fine no matter what.

One thing is for sure.

Mindy is not bad for money.

Two or three months ago, the reason why she came to apply for the job was probably because she had a conflict with her father, and she also staged the drama of running away from home.

Now that the other party came here again, it was obvious that she had a conflict with her father again.

From Mindy's very hard-mouthed attitude, you can hear it.

Louis' guess was not wrong...

The other party really was in conflict with his family.

I don't know where to go for a while...

Then ran over.

Abandoning the miscellaneous thoughts and thoughts in his mind, Louis stroked the black cat lying on the cashier counter, without exposing Mindy's poor acting skills and line skills, smiled and said: "If you didn't have a conflict with your family, you came back. , so what kind of wind brought you here?"

Louis's calm eyes, this extremely indifferent tone and attitude.

Made Mindy very uncomfortable, this feeling...

It's as if someone saw through it!

As if he didn't have any secrets!

Seems like it's all been seen through!

Mindy couldn't help but pursed her little mouth, looked maliciously at Peter Parker not far away, and muttered, "You haven't fired that clumsy guy yet? I don't have enough money for treatment, so I came over and asked if I had a job."

"The size of your store is not small. How can one employee take care of it? I think you need another, very hard-working and reliable employee."

"I think I'm a good candidate, and I can help out with some trouble."

Mindy paused and continued, "For example, biu!"

Saying that, her right hand pointed to a gun.

"I'm very experienced in doing this kind of thing!"

Seemingly triumphant about it.

However, all her thoughts were exposed to Louis's eyes because of her poor acting skills.Mindy, the "super-killer girl", was [-]% rebellious, and then she had a conflict with her unreliable father "Big Daddy".

Then for a while, the little girl didn't know where to go.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is only Louis here.

After all, Louie's clerk works here...

There are room and board benefits.

Food and housing, secluded location, wages, child labor, and still in hell's kitchen.What better place than Louie's store for a runaway child to hide from her unreliable father?

Can't think of any other location that compares to Louie's.

So, Mindy, again, back here.

Of course, there are other hidden places too!

For example, after the last time she lost a competition with Peter Parker, she found an equally hidden place.

That place, is impressively—

The sewer of hell's kitchen!

After hiding for more than half a month, she was found by Big Daddy.

After that, after a while, she had a conflict with Big Daddy again.

Finally, there is, today's scene.

That said, Louie's guess...

Ninety-nine percent right!

Mindy, who became complacent because she mentioned that she could solve "that kind of trouble" for Louis, did not receive a word of reply for more than ten seconds, so she couldn't help her complacent expression. His face froze again.

This time, the tone of her speech was not so strong: "That...cough! Can you do it? I don't need any salary!"

However, what she received was still Louis' faint polite smile.

Other than that, she couldn't get any reply.

Mindy gritted his teeth, reached into his trouser pocket, and took out a roll of green paper.

Take a closer look, it's rolled up dollars!

Each denomination is 20 yuan!

"$400!!" Mindy gritted her teeth distressedly, pushed a roll of dollars to Louis, raised her head and looked at Louis' calm gaze: "Can I post the money?!"

Louis raised his eyebrows, picked up a roll of dollars, and saw the amount at a glance.

As Minty said, there are a total of 20 20-dollar denominations.

All in, that's $400.

After playing around for a while, Louis smiled and asked curiously, "Why did you choose to stay with me? This is not the first time for you."

"Because this happens to be Hell's Kitchen." Mindy didn't open his eyes and lie this time.

Of course, she had another reason for not telling Louis.

Because, she feels, Louis is not an ordinary person!

On this street where Louis's store is located, on a previous day, all the criminals died overnight!

At that time, the whole Hell's Kitchen was a sensation, and even she heard that the big fat Jin did come over.

At that time, the only thing that was okay was Louis's store.

When that happened, it was five months ago.

Since then, Mindy has been eyeing this. *
