Chapter XVIII Tasks
"Of course. It's no secret. It's just a normal thing. John waved his hand indifferently, "But no matter what it is, it won't be easy." If you can do it, I'll arrange it for you, but you have to get it done. So I'll give you some time to think it through before making a decision. ”
Donovan looked at what he was holding after hearing John say this and looked at the things in his hand and said, "I don't think I'm going to let you down." ”
John nodded and said, "Okay then." It looks like maybe you won't have more than two days at all. Just look at you like this. Let's go back and take a good look anyway. ”
"Understood." Donovan stood up and said again as he walked to the door, "You said we would be busy in the future?" Does this mean that there will be big things for the whole company? ”
"Put away your curiosity." John suddenly said solemnly, then pointed to the thing in Donovan's hand, "That's your task now." Go for it, old rules, someone out there will send you down. Just as Donovan opened the door and was about to go out, John suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, maybe each squad will be replenished in the future." At the same time, I also need to know more about the information performance of the current gang, so pay more attention to the people under me. If there is a particularly good one, remember to recommend it to me. ”
Just as Donovan and John were almost over their conversation, Pete came to Dr. Fung's dental office. This clinic is a nice little building that looks like a villa. Pete had spoken to Dr. Fung on the phone before he arrived, so Dr. Fung was already waiting for him when he arrived. However, instead of staying at the clinic, Dr. Fung drove Pete to a nearby Chinese restaurant for dinner.
"How? Did the training go well? Dr. Feng said as he drove: "It's dark and thin. It seems that he has suffered a lot. ”
"Nothing. It's just training. Pete said as he looked out the window.
"Last time you told me there was a problem with your squad? What's the problem? Dr. Feng asked.
"Yes." Pete turned his head to look ahead, "There's a lot of questions in there. To put it simply, people are disconnected and lack trust in each other. ”
"Does this affect you?" Dr. Feng frowned and asked, "I mean, does it have an impact on your foothold there?" ”
"Impact? Can't say no. Donovan, though, had high expectations for me. Pete said.
"Oh?" Doctor Feng's original frowning brow slowly stretched when he heard Pete say this, and after thinking about it, he said, "I remember Donovan is your recruiter, right?" ”
"Yes. And I am under him. I wasn't sure where I was going to go, but now I'm sure. Pete said.
"Tell me about your team." Dr. Fung said.
Pete did not refuse this request, but carefully described what he saw and heard. And after hearing this, Dr. Feng chuckled and said, "In my opinion, such a disunited situation will be of great help to you if you take advantage of it." ”
Pete glanced at Dr. Feng but did not speak, while Dr. Feng continued after glancing back at Pete, "It seems that you know it yourself. ”
"Yes." Pete admitted: "Of course I do. Donovan treats me as one of his own, and he needs someone he trusts to help him, even help him take control of the team. In that sense, I've got a place in the team. ”
Doctor Feng nodded and said, "Do a good job, and strive to gain the trust of the top and bottom in the shortest possible time." We don't have much time left. ”
Two days later in the morning. Pete arrived at the headquarters of Helmet Security on time. After going through identity and security, they went to Team 009's room on the second floor.
Donovan was here at the moment, but Donovan was the only one there. Donovan seemed very pleased to see Pete arrive early, smiled at him, and motioned for him to sit down and wait for a while.
"How's the past two days?" Donovan asked, as he collected the contents of his cupboard.
"Nothing." Pete spread his hands, "I just arrived here and live alone. A month ago, I only knew my guarantor and you in this city. ”
"Huh." Donovan smiled and said, "You can go to a fellow countryman's meeting." I hope I'm right, there should be one here, and there are still a lot of Chinese Americans in this country. ”
"Maybe more west." Pete looked a little helpless and said, "It's a pity that this is the east." ”
"You should always try. Maybe you can meet a lot of friends, especially girlfriends. Donovan said, closing the door to the cabinet, "But maybe not anymore lately." We have something to do. ”
"Got a mission?" Pete suddenly came to his senses.
"Yes." Donovan nodded, holding a file bag, and walked slowly to the table, just then the door to the room opened again, and the old guys Evans and Ellie walked in. This time Avery was dressed more formally, and Evans continued to dress as a cowboy.
"Good morning, Boss." After saying a word to Donovan, Alley looked at Pete again, nodded at Pete, and said, "Good morning." ”
"Wow." Evans looked at Pete and sat down at the table, "The recruit is a very motivated guy. ”
"Good morning, Mr. Evans." Pete asked Evans. And just as he finished speaking, the door of the room opened again, and Matt and the Viking Morris walked in together. After looking around and saying hello to everyone, they sat down at the table.
"Looks like Jeff will be the last one to arrive today." Evans spoke.
"Not necessarily, I think it's going to be chili. He's got to change the kid's diaper and wipe his butt, hahaha. Matt said with a somewhat gloating smile.
Evans smiled and looked at him and said, "Jeff has been busy lately. We may have work to do soon, and he will surely hurry up and comfort the woman who comforts him. ”
"Haha. There's some truth to what you're saying. But I still think it's going to be chili peppers in the end. As soon as Matt's voice was opened, the door was opened again, and a dark figure walked in, "See what I said?" I knew I should have gambled with you. ”
"Bet on what?" Jeff, who had just come in, looked puzzled, "Does it have anything to do with me?" ”
"Alright." Donovan, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up, and after glancing at the time, he said, "If this guy is late." He had to pay the price, one case of beer per person. ”
"Good idea." Matt, Evans, and Jeff all immediately applauded in agreement, and Matt took out the phone he was carrying and stared at it.
Pete, who was standing on the sidelines, kept an eye on his companions. Judging from the scene just now, the atmosphere was much better than when he first arrived. Perhaps after a month of getting along day and night, some estrangement and dissatisfaction are gradually being eliminated. But that's all, judging by the feelings of Morris and Donovan, the relationship between the two is still not very good. As the only female member, Ellie, she doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Morris and Matt. This was not only because of Morris's complaints about women on the first day, but also because when Morris and Matt came in just now, Avery and the two of them just said "Hi" very calmly and coldly, and their faces were blank. In addition, Avery is also cold to himself. It's better than Morris and Matt, but it's not much better. However, Ellie is quite friendly to Donovan, so it means that Donovan is better than he originally thought in this team, at least not without any supporters except himself.
