If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll answer anything I know and won't hold back. Of course, it's limited to things related to you." Qi Jun took a sip of tea, looked at Skye, and said with a smile.
Skye took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her excited heart.
"I… I want to know why you're telling me all this…" Skye asked nervously.
Skye really wanted to know why Qi Jun chose her. Was it because she was an Inhuman, or because of the Inhumans behind her? Before this, Skye's biggest desire was to find out why her birth parents abandoned her. After so many years of wandering, Skye's life had been miserable. If Skye hadn't been a U.S. citizen, if there hadn't been child protection laws, with her experiences, she would have died in a foreign land long ago!
But! After seeing the information Qi Jun had specifically projected earlier, Skye discovered that the truth was not that her parents didn't want her, but that they had been 'killed' by a shadowy organization. And this shadowy organization's goal was… to train her to become their super enforcer. It was only because she carried the Inhuman gene that she 'might' activate powerful superpowers! "I have superpowers, I'm so sorry!"
Skye, who had forgiven her birth parents, began to worry about her own people, fearing that Qi Jun was also trying to get to her and the people behind her! It wasn't surprising that Skye had developed a sense of belonging to the Inhumans so quickly; it was simply that years of wandering and various dark experiences had pushed her towards them.
This opportunity originally belonged to Phil Coulson.
Unfortunately, who could have known that this world would have an extra Qi Jun?!
"…Why tell you the truth? Of course, it's to gain your favor!" Qi Jun said with a matter-of-fact expression, which made Skye's heart clench deeply.
"As expected, did I guess correctly? His goal is me and the people behind me?" Skye suddenly felt a little sad. "Why are there no truly good people in this world?"
"Haha, little girl, you practically wrote the answer in your heart." Qi Jun chuckled.
"Although bringing you here has my purpose, I won't be as 'emotionless' as S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Let me tell you clearly, I brought you here to help me manage this corporation beneath us. Yes, it's… just as you're thinking. What's with that expression? Do you really think I'm a fool? If I didn't know you were capable, do you think I would hand over a corporation worth hundreds of billions, even trillions of U.S. dollars, for you to manage?"
"Alright, you don't need to guess how I know you're capable. You can even think I'm clairvoyant. Anyway… you just need to know that after you've learned, you'll be able to take this position. As for the rest, it's all fleeting, no need to care."
"As for your people, the Inhumans… look at that name. Good heavens, they don't even consider themselves human. That's truly interesting."
"Let me put it this way, I am indeed quite fond of your Inhuman abilities. Do you know what I'm having them do? Don't worry, it's not for dissection and research. Your Inhuman abilities are not even worth my attention, alright?!" Qi Jun started to get a bit carried away, even forgetting who had been so fixated on the abilities of the Inhuman eyeless man earlier.
"The reason I sought you out is because your mother is the current leader of the Earth branch of the Inhumans. Hey, don't get excited, don't get excited, sit down and listen carefully. Yes, your mother is still alive! You don't really think people with superpowers die that easily, do you? What's more, the ancient Eastern country is S.P.E.A.R.'s territory. For S.H.I.E.L.D.'s… those old schemers to dare to act on the ancient Eastern country's territory was already very risky. After they acted, they didn't even dare to check if they had… truly killed everyone, they just grabbed you and ran!"
"Oh, what kind of organization is S.P.E.A.R.? Oh, that's none of your business, so I won't talk about it. If you really want to know, then help me manage this corporation under my feet, and when the time comes, if you still want to know, consider it your year-end bonus."
"Hmm, I seem to be getting off-topic. Let me put it this way, I'm interested in you to work for me, to be… the CEO of the corporation. As for the people behind you, if you can win them over, you can have them serve as the corporation's security force!"
"It's that simple, understand?!" Qi Jun put down his teacup, crossed his legs, and looked at Skye, who had just undergone several changes in expression.
"You said my mother is still alive?"
"Is it true?" Skye extracted one key point, 'mother,' from the barrage of words, and became incredibly excited.
Looking at Skye's expression, Qi Jun wondered if the girl had even heard what he had just said.
"Yes! She's alive, so what?" Qi Jun raised an eyebrow, unconcerned. This girl wouldn't think he would send her over, would she? Ha, naive! With Jiaying's hatred for humans, sending Skye over would be like throwing meat buns to a dog—it would go and never return! He would have to train Skye, cough, no, brainwash, uh, that's not right either. Anyway, he would make Skye feel a sense of belonging to him! Hmm, yes! That's the idea. How could he let this little girl leave if she didn't have a sense of belonging to him yet?!
"Can I see my mother?" Skye didn't notice Qi Jun's change in expression and still asked excitedly.
"No!"
"Why?" Skye was stunned. You told me so much, but you won't let me see her?
"Do you think I'm running a charity?" Qi Jun suddenly smiled wickedly.

"What do you need, then, for me to see my mother?" Skye reined in her excitement and asked Qi Jun cautiously.
"It's simple, help me manage this corporation." Qi Jun pointed to his CEO's office.
"What I value is your talent, not your background!"
"The reason I'm telling you everything beforehand is simply to be completely transparent! It's meant to tell you that the family you care about, the people you care about, I don't care about them. You could say that the Inhumans, they can exist or not exist."
"This world won't stop functioning because someone is missing. Even if some psychopath snaps their fingers and wipes out half the life in the universe, the world will still keep turning! If you don't want to, I can even erase your memories of today and let you return to your original path."
Qi Jun's indifferent demeanor, however, startled Skye.
It would have been fine if she hadn't known these things, but now that she clearly knew her entire life had been planned out by a shadowy organization, to have her memory erased and go back to living that… dark and miserable life? She'd have to be crazy!
"No! Please rest assured! I will do my utmost to manage the corporation well for you!" Skye was startled, no longer daring to be negligent. She quickly stood up, bowed ninety degrees, and stated her position. As for some psychopath who snapped his fingers and wiped out half the life in the universe, that was long forgotten.
"Alright, I'm not some old-fashioned landlord; I don't need you to bow. Since you've accepted this job, let's talk about your compensation!"
"Shhh, don't speak, just listen."
