Chapter 44: The Future
Tucker sighed slightly and said, "I understand. Just him. Pete Wong. With that, he put Pete's information and what he had written aside, and said, "Then let's go next." It looks like we have a chance to get it done today and submit the first list to Miller in the evening. ”
Instead of letting Pete go, John took him back to his office. After sitting back down, John said, "Don't pay attention to that guy. The people in the intelligence bureau are like this, you should know something. ”
Pete shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know they're all here for work, but it's not very pleasant. ”
John sighed and said, "It's too late for you to regret it now." I sometimes feel that there is a reason why these bastards are getting more and more annoying than our prejudice against them. ”
Pete chuckled and said, "No, I won't regret it." Now that I've made up my mind, I'm going to definitely go, and I'm not sure I'll be able to do it well, but I'll at least have to try. ”
"Not bad. I like the way you do that. John smiled and said, "It's good to work hard when you make a decision." As he spoke, he looked at Pete and said, "I can tell you that working in this department is of great benefit to you. At the very least, it means that you are the elite of your group, and that there will definitely be greater opportunities within Hermet in the future. Even if you leave Hermet or change careers in the future, Hermet will give you a very high rating on your resume. ”
"Huh." Pete smiled and said, "I understand. That's what my friend said to me. ”
"Your friend? That doctor? John asked.
"It's him." Pete nodded and said, "It can only be him." Although he didn't know what I was doing, he always told me an old saying from our hometown, that people go high and water flows low. ”
"Makes sense. There are always some challenges. John smiled and said, "Actually, we are all pursuing a good life, worry-free food and clothing, and relaxation and freedom." But it's not easy, anyway, I haven't been able to reach this level so far, at least not with ease and freedom, but I'm still fighting for it. I think you should do the same, and after a few years in Hermet, you'll find that you're going to make a big difference. ”
Seeing that Pete didn't make a sound, John continued, "I've experienced this firsthand. Originally, like you, I came to fight somewhere with a gun and a few or a dozen companions, and then I led a few, a dozen, dozens of people, and then I was wounded and could no longer charge with people. But I had a lot of experience, enough results to prove my ability, and then I became what I am now. has his own office, secretary, and then a high salary, and still does what he is familiar with and is good at. Except that the time is not exactly my own, everything else is fine. Saying that, John lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you a little secret, maybe I want to retire in a few years." ”
"Retirement?" Pete wondered, "Isn't it too early?" ”
"That's pretty much it." John said, "I should go and enjoy life." But the three bosses of Helmet weren't going to let me get my way. John smiled at this, "We talked, and in the end they asked me to raise a group of people, a group of people who were good enough to replace an old fellow like me." I chose Donovan first, and there were two or three more, and I hope you can too, you know what I mean? I hope that more people can emerge, and Helmet will really have a lot of opportunities in the future, and more excellent people are needed to manage and even lead her on, do you know what I mean? ”
Pete nodded and said, "Understood." I hope to reach that height one day, but it looks hard now. ”
"Nothing difficult. Haven't you already taken a step? While I can't say that the first step is still the first step, I can assure you that it is a crucial step. This department is no longer simply fighting and killing, but pays more attention to the mind. I think you will succeed and I have full confidence in you. At that moment, the phone on John's desk rang, he looked at Pete, picked up the phone, and after a few brief words, hung up the phone and said to Pete, "That's it for today." I have to report to my bosses. ”
When Pete heard John say this, he immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and wait for news first." How long will it take to hear from you? ”
"Up to a week." "A week later, the office space for this department has been vacated, and it is on the third floor. On the east side of the aisle, office supplies will be in place in the next two days, and then personnel can enter. ”
Pete left John's place and returned to his residence, recalling his meeting with Tucker, Eric and John today, every sentence and every detail. Clearly, John had great expectations for himself, Donovan, and the others selected from Hermet, hoping that his gang would grow up quickly to become the backbone of Hermet. It's in my favour, as I'm tasked with breaking into the heart of Helmet, and I'm clearly on the right path, and probably on the highway.
However, Eric and Tucker have a more ... Confusion of comparison. Don't look at Eric as if he was chatting casually, but in fact he was trying to understand his own life situation, and then ask some questions from this aspect to observe his reaction. I should have dealt with it well, and there were no problems. And Tucker ... They were still like that, not only did they not trust themselves, but they also had some vague suspicions, but they didn't ask any sharp questions, and what worried them the most was their home address, and they seemed to know a certain amount about Dr. Feng. Thinking of this, he immediately took out the phone and pressed Dr. Feng's number.
"Do you have time to eat together in the evening?" Pete asked.
"Evening... Dr. Feng seemed to be stunned for a moment, but then reacted, "Go to my house." I asked Helen to prepare. Half past six in the evening. ”
"Okay. That's it. See you in the evening. Pete hung up the phone and changed his clothes and went out the door, going straight to the hospital to find Donovan and them.
After looking around and chatting for a while, Pete pushed Donovan, who was in a wheelchair, to the outside of the hospital.
"Today I went for an interview." "If I pass, I'll report to a new department within a week," Pete said. ”
