Chapter 30 Loss of Friends
"It's okay to be the first in the grade."
In the East Block of Crossbell, in a restaurant "Longlao Hotel" with exquisite interior decoration and a very lively environment, Lloyd was proudly sipping the drink in the cup, ignoring the disgusted gaze of the blue-haired girl next to him, and looked at the silver-haired boy across the table, enthusiastically recounting the good news he had told when he met acquaintances in the past two days - he passed the exam of Prosecutor Crossbell with an overall score of one place. In other words, he was a qualified prosecutor candidate from that day onβand for the rest of the day, he just had to stay home and wait for a notice from the bureau. And Lloyd himself can be said to be full of confidence in being able to enter the most elite "Search Section" of the police department - it is no wonder that according to the information heard by Helica, almost all the top three students in the police academy can receive an invitation to a subject, except for a few who have other intentions, it can be said that the search section is in fact in a sense completely the alumni association of the police academy.
Isn't this a joy for Lloyd, who had long set his goal of "joining the police department"?
The joy and excitement had been haunting him for two whole daysβso much so that when Heliga, an old friend who hadn't been to Crossbell for a long time, ran into himself on the street who wanted to go out to dinner, he didn't even have time to ask about the mutation in Liber's Ark, but told him the good news first.
Naturally, Heiliga couldn't laugh or cry at this, although he was happy for Lloyd, but in the face of such an exaggerated expression of emotion, he didn't know what to say for a while. Therefore, I can only use the above bland complaint to fool the past.
"What's the matter, eat more." Lloyd said excitedly, "Not enough for me to go againβI'm in for a treat today." β
I said...... Although the amount of scholarship for the first place in your grade is a lot, it is better for you to save some flowers......" Haley cupped his forehead and looked at the wallet stuffed with money that Lloyd took out, "In addition to wasting money on eating, drinking, and having fun, you should also have something to spend money on, right?" β
"Where do you need to spend money?" Lloyd didn't understand.
"For example, buying gifts for some of your classmates and instructors who you had good relationships with at school is a thank you for their care over the years......," said Helliga patiently, "Most of them will follow a similar path to you, and most of them will deal with them at work in the future...... You should always understand these principles in the workplace. β
"Isn't that just bribery?" Lloyd muttered.
"Okay, you're big." Heliga snorted and laughed, "You just said that you won the first place in your grade by your own performance...... And if you don't get any benefit from them, how can you bribe? Besides, most of your classmates should still be waiting for employment like you, and they don't even have a future yet, let alone taking bribes or something. If you do this kind of trivial thing, you will definitely not suffer...... Anyway, just listen to me. β
ββ¦β¦ That, I'll think about it. Heliga's precociousness, which had already been known in the neighborhood when he was still with Arios, now that the other party was making this gesture, it seemed that he was really thinking about himself, and Lloyd nodded.
"Ah...... Other than that. If the words just now were really for the sake of Lloyd's future in the workplace, then the next words were Helliga teasing Lloyd's malice, "Lloyd, you are eighteen years old this year, aren't you...... You have such excellent grades, a good mind, and a bit of good looks...... It stands to reason that there should be a lot of girls chasing you around, right? Ah, maybe I already have a girlfriend. So, as a successful person in the future, in order to commemorate you, this is about to usher in the first step of life...... A valuable gift is unavoidable, right? β
ββ¦β¦ What are you talking about. Lloyd was embarrassed, Helica's ridicule made him feel embarrassed for a while, and the sharp glare of Theo next to him made his scalp tingle, "Girlfriend or something...... I haven't thought about it yet. β
"Really...... It's a pity. Heiliga didn't let Lloyd go, and he also saw Theo's small movements, and he was happy in his heart, and decided to add another fire, "Lloyd, do you know, a person like you who is handsome and chic on the outside, but has a lot of connotation on the inside, and attracts the girls around him with every move, but he doesn't have any self-knowledge...... Everybody calls you a "bourgeois brother"β"
"Click." Although it was mostly a delusion, Heiliga seemed to hear some kind of rupture of reason from Theo, so he quickly stopped his mouth. There was no doubt that the real dull man Lloyd didn't understand what Heliga was talking about, and could only look blind.
"What's wrong, Theo? Is there something uncomfortable? Although he didn't understand Heliga's teasing, he noticed Theo's displeased expression and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Or is the food not to your taste?" β
ββ¦β¦ Neither. Glancing coldly at Lloyd, Theo gave up on the idea of saying something to the sluggish man.
"That'...... Is it because things are not going well at work? "Lloyd's ability to read words and colors needs to be improved, and he is still clenching on his teeth when Theo clearly doesn't want to speak.
"Work?" However, this statement made Haley garn for a moment, "Do you mean Theo?" β
"yes...... You don't think Theo is only fourteen years old, but she has already obtained the technician research qualification of the Epstein Foundation......" Lloyd's expression was like that of an older brother who was proud of his sister, "and the consortium invited her to the headquarters of Lehman Autonomous Prefecture as soon as they came up...... Hawkers, but because of Tio's own councillors, and ...... Director Roberts tried his best to keep it, but he still stayed in the branch here. β
"I really haven't seen this......" Helliga found himself impressed with Theo, who he was not impressed with, only that she was the child that Guy had brought from outside the autonomous state, and because of his bad relationship with his family, he had been living in Lloyd's house, who was willing to take him in, and has continued to this day. However, the relationship between Fei and Tio is quite good.
"yes...... I don't know. Lloyd spread his hands, "It's a chance." At that time, Director Roberts even said that Theo might not be able to become the strongest intelligence processing expert in the entire autonomous prefecture in a few years......"
"Because there's really no expert in intelligence processing in the consortium......" Theo sighed, "but at IBC...... Or in the government, there should still be a lot of real masters hidden. And recently, on the network of the autonomous region, a super hacker who claims to be omnipotent...... If the rumors are true, based on that person's performance, there's a good chance I'm not an opponent. β
ββ¦β¦ So powerful? Theo had never been humble in front of Lloyd, so Lloyd was surprised to hear this.
"yes...... It's amazing. If I'm not mistaken, that new super hacker...... The pseudonym she used, or rather the nickname, appeared to be ...... "kitten". β
