The thought had just crossed Hughie's mind.

Lin Mo continued speaking.

"As you know, some of Vought's heroes need someone to supervise them."

"What did they do? Did they harm ordinary people? Did the company handle the situation seriously after the problem arose?"

"These all need to be kept in mind."

Hearing this, Hughie's attention was finally completely drawn in.

Lin Mo looked at him and then said:

"Those who have been hurt often have nowhere to speak. Even if they do speak out, their voices are easily suppressed."

"If there's a specific position within the company dedicated to these tasks."

"Some people are willing to listen to them, and others are willing to get to the bottom of things."

"Isn't it better than it is now?"

Hughie opened his mouth, but didn't refute it for a moment.

Because this was indeed what he had cared about before.

Seeing this, Lin Mo knew that the boy was already interested, so he continued speaking.

"Perfect timing, I'll bring this up at the annual shareholders' meeting in a few days."

"Set up an organization, with you and Robin, to do this, to protect the rights of ordinary people."

"Find the problem, investigate it thoroughly, and then tell me directly."

"I'll handle what happens next."

These few words caused Hughie's expression to change little by little.

The hesitation I felt earlier hasn't completely disappeared.

But there's something else clearly added inside.

Serious, and also, a gradually awakening sense of anticipation.

You mean...?

Hughie looked at Lin Mo.

"Let us keep an eye on those heroes?"

"Right."

Lin Mo nodded.

"If you don't want to cover up their mistakes, then find those mistakes yourself."

"So that people who encounter the same situation in the future won't just have to stand there and wait for the company to decide whether to pay attention to them."

After saying that, Lin Mo did not urge him any further.

Some things are enough said here.

For someone like Hughie, who has a somewhat saintly heart, just tell him to come to work and give him a good salary.

It may not be useful.

But if you tell him that there are people here who need help, and that he happens to have an opportunity to do so.

That feeling is quite different.

Moreover, this wasn't entirely to coax him over; Vought's heroes did indeed need someone to keep an eye on them.

We can't let him listen to everything on his own and act like an old father.

Now there are two workers who are specifically responsible for organizing these things for him.

This would also save him a lot of trouble.

Just then, a head slowly peeked out from behind Lin Mo.

It's Joanna.

She glanced at Lin Mo, then at Hughie and Robin.

There was a clear increase in curiosity in his eyes.

Is this to hire two people specifically to supervise those guys who do nothing all day?

It seems quite interesting.

Speaking of which, I just overheard Hughie hesitating and saying he didn't want to come to Vought.

She was definitely getting a little impatient.

He was saved, and his abilities were given to him.

Now Lin Mo is even proactively asking them if they want to come and work for him.

But this kid did something quite different.

Are you still planning to refuse?

She had already mentally reviewed the words "ungrateful wretch," and was almost about to blurt them out.

However, seeing that Lin Mo was still listening, she didn't interrupt immediately.

Now, hearing the rest, Joanna became somewhat interested again.

Could it be...?

What's next?

She moved a little closer to Lin Mo.

I didn't interrupt, I just kept watching.

Meanwhile, Hughie had already turned his head and was looking at Robin.

This decision clearly wasn't something that could be accomplished simply by him nodding in approval.

Lin Mo invited both of them.

Moreover, this job is indeed quite different from anything they've done before.

Robin naturally understood what he was thinking. Seeing her silly man so easily won over, what could she say?

Actually, her relationship with Hughie wasn't just for any other reason.

This person can be hesitant at times and tends to overthink things.

They might even be unusually meticulous in places that seem unnecessary.

But he's kind-hearted and considerate of others, yet he's also reluctant to pretend he doesn't see anything even when he knows someone is being taken advantage of.

These were also the things she liked about him, but now, since she was alright...

Let Hughie stay out of similar situations in the future.

That didn't seem like the person she knew anymore.

Moreover, she herself felt that the job Lin Mo mentioned was meaningful.

Thinking this, Robin reached out and grasped Hughie's hand.

Then he nodded slightly.

I think it's okay.

Hughie looked at her.

"You're willing?"

"Um."

Robin smiled.

"If it's this, I'm willing."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Mo again.

"We've never done this kind of work before."

"I hope Superman will take good care of me."

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Mo smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry about that."

"The specific arrangements will be explained to you later."

Robin nodded again after listening.

The attitude is already very clear.

Looking at her, Hughie's last remaining concerns slowly subsided.

His original worry was that once he went in, he would become the kind of person he hated.

But now, Lin Mo is giving them precisely one opportunity to stop those things from happening.

What's there to hesitate about?

Hughie gripped Robin's hand tightly, then looked back at Lin Mo.

"Good."

This time, he didn't pause.

"We are willing."

Lin Mo smiled after hearing this.

"Then it's settled."

"That..."

Just then, Annie's voice suddenly came from beside them.

Several people turned to look and saw her standing there, a hint of hesitation in her expression.

It seemed as if she was wondering if it was inappropriate for her to speak at this moment.

However, she had already taken all those words to heart, and now it seemed a little difficult for her to pretend she hadn't heard them.

"May I ask a question?"

Annie looked at Lin Mo.

"You were just saying that some people in the company need to be monitored..."

"Specifically, what do you mean?"

To be honest, she was a little dazed. She had just been happy that she could finally officially join the Seven.

We are also looking forward to the shareholders' meeting in a few days.

result.

Turning around, I heard Hughie advising Lin Mo to leave Vought.

Whatever they say, the company will cover up for the heroes who made mistakes.

What high-ranking officials don't care about ordinary people?

Lin Mo didn't refute this, but instead directly stated that he would find two people to specifically supervise these matters.

no.

This sounds completely different from what she expected.

So, she was just over there, happily talking about her upcoming official debut.

Wouldn't others think I'm a fool?

She thought she had finally entered the place of her dreams.

But after hearing their explanation, it sounded like they had just stumbled into some kind of den of iniquity.

Lin Mo glanced at her, but didn't immediately bring up all of Vought's messy affairs.

To be honest, I probably won't be able to do anything else today.
