"I'm going to call you Director Bai in the future." Director Hu said with a wry smile.

"This, this, Hu Ju, this joke is not funny at all, don't play with me, I don't want to be the acting director!" Bai Yang hurriedly pushed back the letter of appointment, shook his head and said with a firm face.

Director Hu was speechless for a moment, how many people want to grab the position of the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau but can't, today is good, senior Zhang doesn't want to be this director, Xuanhai senior doesn't want to be this director, and even Bai Yang, who has always been greedy for money, doesn't want to be this director, is it possible that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is so worthless? I can't push it out if I want to.

"Director Bai."

"Don't, Bureau Hu, I'm not Director Bai, you still call me Xiaobai." Poplar hurriedly interrupted.

Director Hu suddenly showed a crying and laughing expression, pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "Director." ”

"Hu Ju, I beg you, if you are like this, I will leave directly!" Poplar pleaded.

“······” Director Hu was speechless.

After a while, he said with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll call you Xiaobai for the time being, but this appointment was issued by the State Council, even if you don't want to accept it, you can't do it, and I have no right to help you push it back." ”

"Bureau Hu, why did the State Council suddenly issue such a ridiculous appointment, without even consulting me, this is too exaggerated, and I was only the leader of the special group before, no matter how my turn is, I can't take my turn, don't I still have you and Director Li above me, and even Uncle Zhang and Uncle Xuanhai are more suitable than me, aren't they?" Poplar frowned and complained.

Director Hu didn't expect this Baiyang to really dare to say anything, "This is an appointment directly issued by the State Council, don't you just look at whose signature is on it?" He couldn't help but laugh and sneer.

Of course, he also knew that Baiyang's words were completely unintentional, and he couldn't be true, not really had any opinions about the head of state.

"Xiaobai, don't say this kind of thing in front of outsiders in the future, after all, your identity is different now, any of your words and deeds will be magnified 10,000 times, it is easy to provoke some unnecessary right and wrong, and this appointment was issued by the State Council, I won't tell you the details of the specific process, anyway, you just need to know that you are now the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau, this is already a fact, there is nothing suitable or inappropriate, all you need to do now is to adjust the state as soon as possible and do a good job of this acting director, The chairman thinks very highly of you! Director Hu said earnestly.

Poplar's heart is full of entanglement at the moment, he doesn't want to be trapped in S.H.I.E.L.D. every day like his master, although there is food and drink here, and he doesn't need to worry about starving to death, but it is not the life he yearns for!

What's more, his master has just disappeared, and he replaced his master as the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D., is this really good?

Of course, none of the above is the main reason.

The main reason is that once he turns positive, won't all his wealth have to leave him?

After being silent for a long time, he stubbornly asked, "What about my money?" ”

"In the future, money has become something outside of your body." Director Hu shook his head with a smile.

Sure enough, Poplar's heart suddenly sank, and his face became ugly.

"Xiaobai, there are many things in this world that money can't buy, you are now the director, too much money is not of much use to you, everything you want will be given to you by the country." Seeing Bai Yang's expression, Director Hu was helplessly relieved.

Although Poplar also feels that too much money is really useless, but isn't it even more uncomfortable to have no money to spend? But after hearing that all the countries he wanted would be given to him, it made his heart feel a little better.

"What can the state give me?" He asked, frowning.

Director Hu was stunned, then shook his head with a smile and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Poplar thought for a moment and said, "Sports cars, yachts, airplanes." ”

"Hahaha." Director Hu almost laughed and cried, and after laughing three times, he covered his stomach and asked, "Don't you have a hovercar, what else do you need these for?" ”

Poplar couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that it was right, the hovercar can be used as a sports car, a yacht, an airplane, and even a submarine, so there is really no need to do more.

Before he could speak, Director Hu paused for a moment and then added with a smile again: "Although the state can't give you sports cars, yachts and airplanes, it can give you free use of armored vehicles, cruisers, armed helicopters and other military equipment, which you can't get if you have money." ”

Poplar was speechless, what did he want these things to do?

"Can I drive the armored car out?" He asked, surprised.

"Haha, of course not, you can only enjoy it in a specific place." Director Hu laughed and shook his head.

“······” Poplar didn't want to talk anymore.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth again and asked, "Will I still be able to go abroad in the future?" ”

Director Hu smiled bitterly and shook it.

Bai Yang's mood was depressed again, although he didn't think about emigrating, he originally planned to wait for Liu Yan to recover and take his family around the world.

"What about my family?" He asked with another frown.

He thought that he was just restricting his travel, but he didn't expect Director Hu to shake his head again.

"Why is that?" He asked, with a puzzled frown.

Director Hu rubbed his forehead, and after pondering for a while, he explained with a wry smile: "Your previous identity was hung in S.H.I.E.L.D., so it is very difficult for the outside world to know about it, and even said that as long as you don't expose yourself, there is almost no possibility of leakage, but your current identity is hanging in the State Department, in fact, it is not too much of a secret for foreign intelligence agencies, so your current identity has been exposed." ”

Poplar was dumbfounded for a moment, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

His face suddenly became extremely ugly and asked, "Hu Ju, why is this, then I'm not very dangerous now?" ”

Director Hu hurriedly waved his hand and said with relief: "Don't worry, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually more of a symbolic identity, similar to ****, the most information that foreign intelligence agencies can get is your name, age and gender, and even when they see you taking the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D. at a young age, they will wonder if it is a smoke bomb released by our country, as for the danger, you don't have to worry about this, your safety will be guaranteed by the state in the future." ”

"The state guarantees it, how to guarantee it?" Bai Yang's face recovered slightly, but he couldn't help but frown and asked.

"You and your family will be taken to Beijing to live, and there will be a special car to pick you up in the future, and you will be accompanied by bodyguards when you go out, of course, for the safety of you and your family, you must try to avoid going to some crowded public places, and if you have to go there is a reason to go, you must report to the state, etc." Director Hu explained with a smile.

Poplar's face, which had already recovered, couldn't help but become ugly again after listening to this explanation.

"Isn't that no different from house arrest?" He asked reluctantly.

Director Hu shook his head with a smile and said with relief: "Xiaobai, although becoming the director of the bureau will indeed make you lose a lot of freedom, it will also give you greater rights. ”

"Bureau Hu, to be honest, I really don't want to be the director, I know that I have a few pounds and taels, and I don't have the ability to be a good director at all! Moreover, what do I want so much power for? Rights cannot be eaten. Poplar said with a bitter face.

Director Hu suddenly burst into laughter, and after a while, he asked helplessly, "Xiaobai, do you know what is the highest attribute that society gives to human beings?" ”

Bai Yang looked at Director Hu stupidly, not understanding what the other party wanted to express.

Seeing the blankness in Bai Yang's eyes, Director Hu didn't wait for him to answer, and directly smiled and explained: "It's right." ”

“······” Poplar was speechless.

"Hehe, Xiaobai, don't believe it, this has never changed since ancient times, money is indeed a good thing, but the ultimate goal of businessmen to pursue profits is still the right, in ancient times, having the right, it means having everything, although the right is restricted today, but in the same way, no amount of money can buy you in your current position, on the contrary, it is easy to want money in your current status, of course, this is not allowed by law, and there is no need for this at all." Director Hu added with a chuckle again.

"However, I don't think I had the right before, and I'm living a good life!" Poplar retorted softly.

Director Hu shook his head with a smile and a long time before he said, "That's because someone covered you before." ”

Bai Yang couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, his master was the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau before, and the natural scenery he lived in was incomparable, whether it was Shangguan Nantian or Yi Xiaofeng, they all respected him.

Now that his master has not been heard from, if he is no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., how many of his former friends will accommodate him as always?

At this time, his heart was full of entanglement, he wanted to be free, but he also didn't want to lose everything he was now, which made him a little difficult to choose.

Of course, in fact, he has no choice at all, after all, the letter of appointment has been issued, even if he does not want to accept it.

"Hu Ju, I want to go back and think about it." He couldn't help but say with some frustration.

Director Hu was speechless for a while, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, it's almost twelve o'clock in the morning, you can go back and rest first." ”

After Poplar left, Director Hu thought about it, went into the bedroom and changed into a protective suit, and then left the office with Poplar's letter of appointment.

······

Poplar didn't sleep all night, he lay on the bed, his eyes looking at the ceiling, his heart was numb.

To be honest, he really didn't want to be this director.

The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. may be a supreme honor to others, but it is a constraint and a burden to him.

He really hoped that his master could come back soon, and even in the middle of the night, he used the starry sky map to go to Luo Yuanxing to look for it, but unfortunately he still couldn't find a trace of his master.

"If I become this director, then can't I give Liu Yan a grand wedding?" He muttered to himself.

"If he becomes the director, what should Bred do, give it to the state?" He muttered to himself again.

"If I become this director, what's the point of letting Brad help me make so much money before?" He suddenly felt so dazed, unable to adapt to the changes in the world, and an indescribable loneliness and sadness came to his heart.

"Master, where the hell are you?" His eyes were filled with tears again, and the pillow under the back of his head was already wet.

Just as he was worrying, suddenly the pager on the wall rang.

In the call of "Dididi", Poplar's eyes refocused, and his thoughts were pulled back from the depths of the universe.

He raised his left hand and glanced at the bracelet on it, and saw that it was half past six in the morning.

"Could it be Director Hu?" He turned his head to look at the pager on the wall, and couldn't help but guess.
