Chapter 42: A Small Meeting of the Reading Club
Chapter 42
Crolyn is a head of agents at Quantico's headquarters, at the same level as Alan Albert in the New York branch, and although Colin is a well-known writer, he is just a new agent and really not worthy of Croline's attention
So calling him at this point in time made Colin a little puzzled, could there be any changes in tomorrow's upgrade test
Colin answers the phone
"Books are the everlasting lamp for accumulating the wisdom of the world," there was such a famous saying on the phone
Colin was stunned, of course this sentence was said by Croryne
It turns out that Croline is also a member of the book club, no wonder she is so enthusiastic about Colin, this sentence is used to prove their identity when they meet for the first time between the members of the book club
Of course, this is not rigorous, and the book club itself is not a secret organization, and when you ask the members of the book club to help, unless the relationship between the two people itself is good
Otherwise, it needs to be impartial by the internal council, so there is no way to use this sentence to deceive others into doing anything for themselves
"I didn't expect that Chief Hill is also a member of the reading club, may I ask what's the matter?" Colin Road
"You're not my subordinate yet, please call me Croryne, of course even if it's my subordinate, I hope you don't call me Chief when you get off work" Broling's magnetic voice came from the earpiece
Colin couldn't help but think of her resemblance to Ciel
Crolin continued: "That's right, there's a small party at the book club tonight, are you interested in attending?"
This is Washington, the capital of the United States, and the members of the book club here can be said to be rich or expensive, an opportunity that almost all ambitious people dream of
Colin first joined the FBI because this status allowed him to have some privileges, and he could pay attention to the fact that ordinary people could not know secrets, but when he entered the FBI, he found that it was also hierarchical
It's not much worse than S.H.I.E.L.D., and the security level means how many secrets you can know, so being a department head of agents also seems like a good choice
Colin didn't think about it for long
"Well, what time is it, and what's the address?"
Colin fumbled with the remote control in his hand, and the news of the hijacking was playing on the TV, and there was only the news that Bill was interviewed, and Colin Campbell, an important hero who saved the plane, was not found
But this does not affect Colin's popularity, it seems that Quantico is also happy to see such a star agent in his camp, so Colin will carry out secret missions in the future, and makeup is very necessary
Of course, Colin's home address and family members are top secret, and even if Colin mentions it in the report, it will be deleted when it is broadcast, otherwise, his house may not be long before it is blown up into the sky
Croryne: "It's seven o'clock, McHerron, I'll pick you up then, you don't have a car here"
Colin: "Thank you so much, my hotel is xxxxxx"
This really flattered Colin, the two only met yesterday, but Colin didn't have any objection after all, the other party looks very eye-catching, and Colin has no objection to making friends
Hanging up the phone, Colin watched the news on TV for a while, and then went out, he needed to buy a few clothes, after all, he didn't bring a few formal clothes this time
6:50 p.m
A red roadster appeared at the door of the Macherron Hotel, Colin and Crolyn got out of the car, Colin was over 190 tall, wearing a black slim-fit suit and black bow tie
The temperament is elegant and noble, but the figure is more brilliant than those super male models
But it's not a celebrity red carpet here, and there's no flash waiting for you
Croline was wearing a black off-the-shoulder dress, which was not very revealing, but still set off her perfect figure
After getting out of the car, there was a parking boy, and Croline naturally walked into the banquet hall with Collin's arm on her shoulder
There were dozens of people at the book club, and of course this was not all Washington members, many local members did not come, and there were people like Colin who passed through Washington
Crolin took Colin to the group and introduced them to the four of them
There is one who turns out to be a shareholder of Stark Group, that is the guy Arthur Bazel who was once saved by Colin, and they naturally have a hot chat when they meet
Arthur Bazel was locked up in a dungeon by a group of savages, and he swore that whoever could come to his rescue, he would give half of his entire fortune to that man
Of course, in the end, he didn't mention it, and the oath of this kind of person is like a fart, and it can't be taken seriously
However, he is still grateful to Colin, and afterwards he once wanted to hire Colin as his bodyguard, with an annual salary of tens of millions
However, Colin refused
Just kidding, the dignified cross-reborn is here to be someone's bodyguard, even if Tony Stark hires him, Colin will not hesitate to refuse
Crolin dropped Colin here and went on her own, strolling through the field like a fluttering butterfly, and she was very good at socializing in such situations
Croryne's beautiful back deeply attracted the eyes of several bigwigs present, of course, this does not include a white old man with half-bulging hair, who looks about 60 years old
There weren't too many wrinkles on his face, but Colin could tell from his spirit that he was old and past the age of appreciating beautiful women
The suit on his body is high-end but not extravagant, unlike several capital tycoons, who wear luxury goods
The white beard is neatly trimmed, and it can be seen that a strict person, the wedding ring on his hand has been deeply embedded in his fingers, indicating that he has not taken it off for a long time, this is a family lover, loyal to his wife
Or maybe he wants to show that image
The figure is maintained very well, there is no small belly, the nails are neatly trimmed and clean, this old man cares about his image very much
Of course, Croline had already introduced him just now
Deputy Attorney General, Jensen Brad, his attention was not on Crolyn's round ass
Instead, he looked at Colin with interest, and his eyes revealed the wisdom of a politician
Colin took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Jensenbride and smiled, "Colin Campbell, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir."
Jensen Brad also showed a smile, shook Colin's hand and said: "I think your trip will go smoothly this time, of course, it is not about the hijacking, I understand your work ability, so with this upgrade test, obviously my vision is good"
Colin's heart moved, it turned out to be an olive branch thrown by this big guy to himself, he was just a matter of one sentence Colin, and he struggled for several years
If ordinary people are absolutely grateful to him, but for Colin, it's just a favor deal, even if the big guy doesn't have anything to do with Colin right now
As long as Colin continues to develop steadily, this is a good investment in people
Colin certainly won't let this guy down, and the next thing is to show loyalty and praise
Then Croilene came back and took Colin around and got to know a few people who she often had to deal with as an FBI
Croryne's operation was like training her own subordinates, which made Colin even more confused
Is it because he wants to transfer himself to Washington?
Colin wouldn't agree to that, don't even think about it
