Chapter 159: Concessions

"If something goes wrong, what can go wrong. I was ordered to get back to normal work here as soon as possible. And you're going to drag on for half a month? Robert asked.

"You can get back to work, people are coming. But you can't go out. It's probably all part of the job here for you, and it seems very important at the moment. But for my job, 33 and leaving 33 are completely different concepts, and the potential threat of leaving here to Los Angeles and coming into contact with those people out there is very difficult to manage. Don't forget Albert, how they passed on the stolen information. Pete thought for a moment and said, "You have to understand that understanding them and the people they are going to contact is just the beginning, and the route of this road is also very important, it is not how you want to go, everything must be under control, we have to learn the previous lessons, don't we?" Do you have a backup plan for the Security Bureau? Can you afford to do it again? Not for Helmet, anyway. This time there must be no mistakes. ”

Robert had nothing to argue with, after all, Albert and Waynes had learned the lesson, and Pete, as the person in charge of security here, had reason to be cautious and careful. However, the project here can't be dragged on like this, Bezos's requirements before coming here are also very clear, it's not a good thing to drag on for a long time, and the use of the backup plan has been delayed a lot, so the overall budget of the project is still a small matter, and the pressure on the Security Bureau will be great, and more importantly, the long time is also a threat, after all, the probability of all kinds of problems will also become greater.

So Robert no longer struggled with Pete about what to do, but said directly: "If you insist, I can only report to the top immediately and let your boss come and talk to you." ”

"Please. Let them give me orders, and I will give in if they say they will speak. Pete glanced at the office arranged for them and said, "Is there anything else?" If not, so be it. With that, he turned around and went back to his office.

Pete sat down and lit a cigarette as soon as he sat down, a privilege he had as the manager of the place. Smoking is not prohibited in his office, which is not possible elsewhere on the 33rd.

Judging from Robert's performance just now, the Security Service is very eager to move forward with the project here, and even immediately wants to reopen the channels of communication with the outside world. This may have been influenced by the fact that the Russian intelligence network on the Waynes line was completely terminated by the FBI. They must have felt that the crisis had passed, and they would not have thought that there was more than one line lurking here. But this is in their own favor, in the name of security, if they don't let go, they won't let them back down, that Robert will definitely react upward, and the people above will definitely contact Helmet, maybe Lille or John, anyway, no matter who it is, there will be news soon, and according to their own judgment, most of them will compromise the requirements of the Security Bureau, after all, this project is the Security Bureau, they are the real bosses, and they have to take care of their feelings no matter what. However, this does not affect their own approach, on the contrary, this is exactly what they want, as long as they are willing to give in, then they can make their own demands, such as they must watch for themselves. Wouldn't that be the case to get out?

As Pete thought about this, Forde walked in from outside. After seeing Pete smoking, he also took out his own eyes, smoked and said, "You seem to have had a very unpleasant conversation with that Robert Sean." ”

"He's going to make it possible for those people to go to Los Angeles like they did. And as soon as possible. How is this possible? We are not prepared for anything, and when something goes wrong, who will bear it? Are we or are they? Pete said.

Forde pouted and said, "I don't stop looking at that guy." I'm already using the phone in the office to get in touch, presumably complaining. I'll be back. ”

"It doesn't matter. He does what he should do, and I do what I should do. The Security Bureau will communicate with the people above Hermet, and we can just drive as we are told. Pete said as he extinguished the cigarette butt.

About twenty minutes later, the phone on Pete's desk rang again. Pete reached for the phone and answered, John's voice came through the receiver. Institutions

"Pete, I heard that you just took office today and gave the Security Bureau a bad feeling?" John said in a slightly joking tone.

Pete sighed slightly and said helplessly: "Actually, I didn't say anything at all, just clarified my concerns and what I had to do." ”

"Needless to explain, I'm not here to hold me accountable. You're doing the right thing, you're the manager here, and those guys are just here to oversee your work. It's just supervision, but it's up to you what the people there do and how they do. John said.

"That's what I thought, too. After all, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to make amends. Pete said.

"But you'll have to meet the needs of the Security Service. They are desperate to get everything back on track. It's been a bit long since you talked to Robert about it. Isn't there any way to shorten the time? John said.

Pete waited for John's words, but after a moment of silence, he said helplessly, "Okay, Mr. John." If I had to do that, all I could think of at the moment was that I would bring at least two other people with me. They can't go out at the same time, they can only come one by one, and everyone is followed by me personally, by the way, it's better to arrange another person from the Security Bureau, so it's better. In addition, the route must be specified by us, and then this route must prevail in the future. ”

John heard Pete smile loosely on the other side of the phone and said, "You're the boss here, you have the final say." So how long do you think this arrangement will take? ”

"Give me at least a day. I have to be ready for cars, people. You have to choose exactly where to go and which way to go. Pete said.

"Okay. Then I'll just say this to the guys in the Security Bureau, and then let that Robert talk to you. John said.

"Yes, sir. I'll do my best to make everyone happy. With Pete finished, John hung up. Almost ten minutes later, Robert Sean reappeared in front of Pete's office.

"We still have to talk." Robert said directly.

Pete nodded and said, "Come in and say, I can give in, you also heard the phone call just now." Actually, there's not much to say. If you insist, then you can, come one by one, and you and I will watch it personally. ”
