St. George's Cole & Co. 66th floor office

"Dah. Click. Click. ”

With 8 centimeters of heels stepping over the icy floor and a crisp echo in the hallway, Julian stopped in front of Scott's office and passed the visitor identity verification with the double verification of face recognition and palm print recognition.

"Drip-"

The office door opened, and as soon as she walked into the spacious office, she saw the boss Scott sitting in a chair, with his back to the door, projecting a tablet computer on the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, checking the company's performance this month and the latest scientific research results.

“…… Mr. Scott. Julian hesitated for a moment to disturb Scott, but after a minute, she spoke.

"You're here."

"Yes."

"What are the results of the investigation?"

Xiao Qihan now lives in an old apartment in the 13th block, with the officer who rescued her before, which seems to be the decision of the state police department to let that officer protect Xiao Qihan 24 hours a day. I let Hill hack into the police file system of the state police department, and the police officer who has been protecting Xiao Qihan 24 hours a day is called Adam Smith."

"Hmm."

"In addition, I found something interesting."

"Say."

"That cop named Adam Smith used to work with a sheriff named Osborne Lamb."

Julian said this calmly.

But it is undeniable that Scott's eyes moved, and he turned his head slightly, as if looking in Julian's direction.

“…… You mean, that Osborne Lamb who has been sent into the [Minghe System]? ”

"Yes. I also investigated the population system, and after comparing the data, I found that it was the same person. ”

"Oh, that's interesting."

Scott slowly closed the tablet, the stereoscopic image disappeared, and the floor-to-ceiling windows returned to panoramic viewing mode, allowing a clear view of the sky above St. George's and the entire downtown building.

Julian bowed his head slightly, waiting for further instructions from Scott.

This is their job as a deputy - the things assigned by the superiors must be completed even if they risk their lives, don't ask what they shouldn't ask, don't think about what they shouldn't think, it's enough to be a robot who does things wholeheartedly.

After all, in the [Bloody Eye] organization, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

Many killings have also come from this.

"By the way, that idiot who doesn't do anything good."

There was a palpable anger in Scott's voice.

Julian knew that Scott was referring to the man sent to the house at 92 Lexington Avenue to recover Eckert Jackson's helmet, and not only did he not get it back to complete the task Scott had assigned, but he was almost caught.

Julian hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "I've already sent the logistics." ”

"If it weren't for that idiot who couldn't find something and startled the snake, the state police department wouldn't be so vigilant now, looking at Xiao Qihan." Scott tossed the tablet aside and rubbed the corners of his forehead, "It's going to be a little hard to get those two things we want back now." ”

Julian frowned as well.

She knows very well that she has not done a good job of the tasks assigned by her boss, and this crime is not small.

Although Scott did not blame her personally, he did express his disappointment with her between the lines.

This is something she doesn't want as a perfectionist.

"Mr. Scott, I'll send someone again, and I'll definitely get back what you want."

"Send someone again? Hmph, the person you sent for the first time was directly bumped into by Xiao Qihan, and was almost caught by the police. The second time the person sent didn't even know how to stalk and eavesdrop, and had to pretend to be Eric's lover and pretend to be pregnant, and come to the door to ask for money, so he prevaricated. Julian, I'm a little disappointed with your ability to get things done. ”

Oh, this time it's a direct expression of disappointment.

This sentence is like a dagger, slammed into the heart of this cold woman.

She lowered her head, her face was ugly, but she didn't dare to answer, and after a long time, she held back a few words: "I'm sorry, Mr. Scott." It's the subordinates who are ineffective. ”

It took a while for Scott to come up with the idea.

"I will do this matter personally, it is a big matter, if the state police department finds us, the gain will outweigh the loss."

“…… Sorry I let you down. ”

"After all, you are still young and need more experience, I can not pursue this mistake, but next time, if you make this kind of mistake again......"

The words he didn't say sounded chilling.

"Yes, I will take my responsibility and let you punish me." Julian leaned down, ashamed.

She swore in her heart that she would never let this happen again.

She had to be Mr. Scott's only deputy, the perfect deputy, and she couldn't make a mistake in helping him keep the entire [Biotech Group] running.

With that in mind, Julian grabbed the dagger and made a cut in his arm.

The sharp blade slammed into her arm, blood dripping down her white fingers.

The smell of blood, faintly dispersed.

"Don't mess me up here."

"Yes, I'll have the cleaning staff do it." Julian put away the dagger, the wound on her arm aching, this was the lesson she had taught herself.

Every time she makes a mistake, she does it.

One mistake = one wound.

It's not enough to just say "remember", you also need to leave some substantial scars on your body, so that you can really learn a long lesson.

This is her consistent way of doing things, and it is also the reason why Scott took a fancy to it in the first place.

He chose her among thousands of deputy candidates, just because she is a perfectionist and does not allow herself to make a little mistake, whether it is the details of life or work, it is her requirement to be simple, clear and accurate.

Next time, she will definitely not make this mistake again.

"Mr. Scott, my men have been keeping an eye on Xiao Qihan, I have seen her go in and out of the rock bar in recent days, and the police officer named Adam also went there, and I heard that there was a fight inside, and the little boy at the bar picked up something and was brought back by our people......" Julian put a small card-like thing on the table in a little anxiety as if he wanted to prove his ability.

It was Adam's ID that read: Adam Smith, State Police Officer.

"This is Adam Smith's credentials, and maybe it will work for us." Julian added.

Scott was noncommittal.

He looked out at the sky from the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if thinking about something.

At this time, Julian will always be smart to keep silent, she knows that the sky is the boss's thinking curtain, every time she looks at the sky, the boss's thinking will always become as open as the sky, and those amazing work deployments are generated.

Scott was silent for a long time, and then said, "When was the last time the company accepted interns?" ”

(Intern?) ）

Julian thought for a moment and replied, "Six months ago, those interns interned in the [Science and Technology Engineering Department], but Engineer Hill had a bad opinion of them, so we didn't stay any of them. ”

"Well, that's time for another batch of interns."

"Which universities are you going to work with?" Julian walked to the desk and clicked on the controller with his bleeding hand, and Scott projected a table in front of him, on which were the top 20 universities in the world's comprehensive ranking, "These universities have been in contact with our [Cole Company] public relations department, hoping to let students come for internships, and they all said that they will guarantee the selection of students with the best grades, and they will definitely choose those students who have published papers and scientific research results......"

Before Julian could finish speaking, Scott raised his hand to stop her.

"You don't need these nerds, Julian, this time we are recruiting interns for social personnel, just choose between 15-30 years old, no limit to diplomas, no gender restrictions, as long as you are creative, you are welcome to come to the interview, you ask the human resources department to organize a group of interviewers as soon as possible, those who pass the interview, let them come to the internship, if the internship period is good, you can consider becoming a regular and staying in [Cole Company]."

This sentence made Julian, who was cold-faced and cold-hearted, widen his eyes in surprise: "You say...... Want to be socially oriented? ”

"Hmm."

"But the company only has a few recruitment places every year, and the top students of the Ivy League universities are fighting for their heads, and now you want to leave such a precious opportunity to the society? In case we get some people who don't ...... you don't know."

Scott sneered: "No three, no four? It can only be said that everyone's attitude towards life is different. ”

"But ......"

Scott interrupted Julian: "Julian, who is the top person in charge of [Cole Company]?" ”

"It's you."

"Then you just shut up and do things."

"Yes."

"By the way, you remember to write on the announcement that the department for this internship is the [Bioengineering Department], and we are recruiting biological designers."

Julian hurriedly jot down Scott's instructions.

Then, after a second thought, she understood what Scott meant.

"Original...... You are the intention! ”

Scott leaned over and leaned back into the soft chair: "Instead of taking it secretly, it's better for the other party to give it openly, isn't it." ”

“…… So, what to do with Eric's missing helmet? ”

"Julian, you can bring up the screen of the [Mirror Link] game for me."

Scott did not rush to answer Julian's question, but said something else inexplicable.

Julian clicked the console a few times to pull up the game recordings from the repository.

"Look at the scene when the scene is forcibly terminated."

Julian fast-forwarded the game progress, 10 times faster to the second before the game terminated and went black.

After she clicked on the still screen, she clicked the "Stereoscopic Imaging" button, so the original two-dimensional image restored the scene in three dimensions - Caesar rode the Blood Lynx and stood by the lake, the Blood Lynx stood up and was about to attack the [Hunters] in front of him, and Arthur fell to the side, seriously injured.

Scott looked at the image and muttered, "[The details are devils.] [A good predator is always able to pour more attention into the details. Only perfectionists can win. 】…… Julian, if you look at this scene, how many [Hunters] are there in the picture? ”

"Ten."

"Have you noticed that there is one more person who shouldn't be there?"

Julian took a few steps forward, leaning closer to the stereoscopic image, and this time, she noticed details she hadn't noticed before.

“…… The [Hunter] with the silver wolf hood, he shouldn't have appeared. Because the Silver Wolf Hunter has always been Eric! ”

"That's right, someone used Eric's helmet and got into the game."

"I see, Mr. Scott, I'm going to track down the source of the signal at the time, and I'll be able to follow this clue to find the helmet that Eric lost."

Julian was about to turn away when he was stopped by Scott.

"Wait."

"Mr. Scott?"

"I remember, did that guy named Xiao Qihan go to a field training camp?"

"Yes, according to the results of the investigation, it was not really a 'field training camp', but a drinking withdrawal trip organized by the Alcoholics Rehabilitation Association under the guise of a 'field training camp', and the people of the Alcoholics Rehabilitation Association would lock the people in a cabin in the woods and send special medical personnel to guard them to help them overcome their addiction and get through the withdrawal phase of alcoholism. Because of the secret form and professional techniques, I heard that it has also helped many high-level people in society to quit their addiction to alcohol. ”

Julian was stunned.

"Eric Jackson also sent his daughter to the 'field training camp' because of this."

A faint arc appeared at the corner of Scott's mouth: "A cabin in the woods? Well, that's good. ”
