At noon the next day, at 2:40.

When Felicity entered the president's office of White Industries and sat across from Leo, her eyes were still in a trance, as if she were in a dream.

After all, all this happened so fast, she never thought that one day, luck would fall from the sky and knock on the door of her house.

"Uh, Mr. White...... Yesterday, after work, I received invitations from three executive search firms, including Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Wise, and Russell Reynolds, all of which are well-known top headhunters in the world! ”

This young girl with beautiful blonde hair who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology seemed a little cramped and restless, and had been thinking about it since she entered the door.

When the senior consultants from the three executive search firms approached the door, Felicity thought they had identified the wrong person.

I have neither achievements nor reputation in the industry, so there will be a company that hires me with a high salary?

And the other party is still a powerful White Industry, which is really tantamount to a fantasy!

"That's right, I hired these three headhunters, and they charge a commission of one-third of your annual salary."

Leo nodded, acknowledging with a relaxed expression, and then continued: "By the way, as for your annual salary, I have preliminarily set it at 500,000 US dollars, and then revise it according to the situation. This should put you in the ranks of the high-income group, Miss Smock. ”

Like Derek Coleman, the HR manager at White Industries, with the look on his face when he heard the treatment, Felicity was completely dumbfounded.

She blinked at those big eyes, a "Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong?" expression.

According to the annual household income statement released not long ago, the average income of the middle class in the United States is about $50,000-120,000, although the income of the middle class varies slightly from state to state depending on the standard of living in which they live.

In the case of Star City, the cost of living here is not low, slightly inferior to the metropolis, and similar to Gotham and Midtown.

The top middle-class income should be around $200,000, and based on Felicity's achievable annual salary, she would immediately be one of the top earners if she accepted the job at White Industries.

"You heard me right, you deserve this salary with your abilities, and I need a private 'network investigator' who has the qualities of being able to do her job and knows how to keep secrets...... You understand when I say that, right? ”

Leo coughed twice, and as he looked at Felicity's brain-like expression, he couldn't help but wonder if he had made the right choice.

Judging from her appearance and performance alone, this beautiful girl with glasses, blonde hair tied back her head, light makeup and red lips can't tell that she is a high-achieving student who graduated from MIT.

In other words, is the appearance of the program ape so high?

In Leo's impression of his previous life, they should have been characterized by an increasingly dangerous hairline.

"If I didn't understand correctly, Mr. White, do you need a private hacker?"

After a few seconds, Felicity seemed to come to her senses.

A young president of a large private business who needs to hire hackers exclusively?

Felicity, who is usually keen on chasing dramas, immediately made up dozens of episodes of episodes of the grievances of wealthy families.

Family rivalry, business rivalry, stealing confidential information from rivals...... Images like these flickered in her mind.

"That...... Mr. White, I do crave this job, but for the record, I don't want to get involved in something more than I can solve......"

Leo opened his mouth, but stopped talking, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and said condescendingly, "I have to say, your associative ability is really strong, Miss Smock. ”

"Okay, let's be honest with each other, and it's easier to communicate. First of all, I hired you only because you were good enough. According to the investigation report of the headhunter, you almost single-handedly completed most of the projects in the technical department of the Quinn Consortium, and it is said that when the Quinn Consortium interviewed you, in order to show your technical ability, you wrote a 'cover letter' applet on the spot, so that your resume appeared on every computer in the company......"

"Besides, when you were at MIT, you seem to have been part of a hacker team and did quite well. All this shows that you are a qualified technician, which is one of the reasons why I like you. Your official position is as a manager in the Applied Science Division of White Industries, and you also serve as my assistant. ”

"As for the so-called private network information investigators, it is because White Industries has a cooperative relationship with the security department of the Department of Defense, so you need to make a cameo once in a while...... Hacker. ”

Felicity digested the information she had received, and reason told her that there were many doubts in the young president's words that were worth pondering.

But another part of her inner sanity is also saying that if she continues to ask, this perfect job with a good salary and enough to help her pay off her student loans will fly away from her eyes.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity to join White Industries, and I'm really happy."

Leo laughed, thinking that your acting skills could be a little worse.

"Within a week, after handling the work at hand, handling the resignation, and then going to work, is there any problem?"

"Not at all!"

Felicity nodded vigorously as if the chick was pecking rice.

…………

When the laughable interviewer left, Leo stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the star city at his feet.

Separated by Sachs Fifth Avenue, the city's wealthy and slums create a clear divide.

The slum, known as "Lake of Palms," has been a blot on the Star City map, with gangs rampant, unscrupulous, violent and homeless people everywhere.

As Oliver Quinn believes, the city is heading for corruption and degeneration.

"Violence doesn't help, and policing is not a long-term solution."

Leo whispered a few words softly, and his phone rang for Andy Williams' "Speak Softly Love."

"I'm so flattered to receive your greetings, Amanda."

Answering the call to this encrypted channel, Leo restrained his true emotions and put a standard business-like smile on his face.

"I'm just here to tell you that the report you made earlier, the proposal for the creation of a special team, has been officially adopted." An indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone, "I still don't understand why you're back in Star City, Leo. ”

"Metropolis and Gotham are obviously better suited for you. You know, I have a lot of tasks waiting for you to be handed over, and this is your obligation as one of the administrators of the A.R.G.U.S. ”

Hearing the other party's question, the corners of Leo's mouth pulled out a slight arc, and he said in a relaxed tone: "I said it, Amanda, the world is changing, and what you used to need to face was only transnational terrorist organizations, large criminal groups, or armed forces outside the country. ”

"But now it's different, a group of individuals with extraordinary abilities are rising, such as a Robin Hood who likes to use bows and arrows to hunt among high-rise buildings in Star City."

Leo knew that in a maximum of one to two years, the world would change dramatically.

The rise and exposure of superheroes, the coveting and prying eyes of alien civilizations, and the broader picture of the universe, there are also the Seven Lights Legion hibernating, waiting for the moment when the brilliant light will light up!

No matter how you think about it, this is an extremely dangerous world, and mortals don't even have a chance to choose their fate.

When the crisis came, they could only look up to the many heroes and kneel with their hands folded in prayer.

So, what can a young rich man worth billions do?

When the Dark Monarch in the depths of the universe sets his sights on this blue planet, should he pray for the help of the Justice League, or wait for disaster to strike?

"It's that 'transhuman theory' again. Leo, the Celestial Eye Society has yet to discover any superpowers, and I am skeptical of what you see in the future. ”

The woman, Amanda Waller, retorted.

"Then we'll see, Amanda. I'll soon assemble a team in Star City, the city needs a vigilante, but he's not going to be Robin Hood who hunts with a bow and arrow. ”

Leo mentioned it casually, which can be regarded as reporting to the top management of the Tianyan Society.

After receiving a period of rigorous training from Ms. Siva, he learned of the existence of the Heavenly Eye Society by chance.

After careful consideration, Leo took the initiative to join the organization, and gained the appreciation of the top management at an incredible speed.

If you have to delve into his promotion speed like a rocket, it can be summed up in nothing more than eight words, money opens the way, and power is exchanged.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you will bear all the expenses yourself, and I have to thank you, the Tianyan Society has a lot of funds in recent years, and I finally don't have to look at the face of the Ministry of Defense."

Leo was noncommittal about this, so he would not believe the kindness shown by Amanda Waller.

This woman can directly manage a subordinate agency of the National Intelligence Agency at the age of less than forty, and sit on an equal footing with a group of bigwigs in the CIA, which is enough to prove that her ability and skills are far beyond ordinary people.

The reason why Amanda Waller acquiesced in her existence was nothing more than looking at the power support of the White family, which allowed her to have more say in front of the Pentagon's generals.

"We're each taking what we need, Amanda. Don't worry I'll take the Sky Eye Society from you, the whole White Industry is enough for me to have a headache. ”

Leo said unusually frankly, a relaxed smile on his face.

"By the way, I've found a clue about the Assassin Alliance, and I'll send you a document. Help me enable the tracking program of the Sky Eye Society, focusing on the person David Kane. ”

Looking down at the Star City at your feet, the afterglow of the setting sun slowly sinks into the horizon, taking away the last warm rays of color.

The smile on the corner of Leo's mouth disappeared, and he said calmly: "He owes me a debt." ”
