Chapter 82: Be a Good Boss
Looking at Judith who was held in front of him, Leon had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was about to put his face on it, wanting to kiss this cute little baby girl.
Unexpectedly, Judith suddenly puffed out of her mouth, opened her small mouth, and poof! Squirted his face with saliva.
The scene made everyone around laugh, and Amy smiled and reached over little Judith and looked happily at her boss.
Leon smiled wryly and took a few tissues from the table next to him, wiped his face, and said to Rick:
"She is very brave and will definitely be a cute little angel in the future."
Amy walked over and helped him straighten his bow tie, and Judith was already in Sean's hands, the macho man with tenderness in his eyes and teasing the little baby girl with a small children's toy.
At the dinner party that day, everyone had a good time, and Leon also put down his shelf as a big boss, and bragged and fart, smoked cigars, and played bridge with everyone as a doctor Leon, and played until midnight.
Back in his room, he helped Amy, who was a little drunk, into the girl's bedroom, and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower to wash away the smell of alcohol from his body.
He had already entered a state of self-cultivation, and instead of doing those pleasant things with his little secretary, he went to the shooting range on the lower level of the base alone to practice marksmanship.
Due to the special energy in his body, his energy has always been very strong, and he only needs to rest for two or three hours a day to recover the spirit of the whole day, and he can obviously do more things, but because he is used to enjoying it, he has wasted a lot of time before.
After a mortal threat, Leon decides not to indulge himself too much, but to spend more time and energy on improving his strength or increasing his power.
After practicing until four or five o'clock in the morning, consuming thousands of rounds of ammunition, Leon felt that his marksmanship had improved slightly.
Just as he was about to go back to sleep, a thin woman also came to the shooting range, she found the administrator on the night shift, received a pistol and a box of ammunition, walked to a corner thirty meters in front of the target position, and began to practice marksmanship silently.
Leon recognized her, it was actually Carol, which made him a little surprised, knowing that practicing marksmanship at the shooting range cost contribution points, and the price was not cheap.
After all, in this world, bullets are also a very precious resource, and as an organization with a clear distinction between public and private, Umbrella Corporation cannot provide free bullets for everyone to use.
After observing for a while, Leon found that Carol's marksmanship had surpassed that of ordinary civilians, and the hit rate of a fixed target of thirty meters was about seventy percent, and he had obviously practiced for a while.
He vaguely remembered that little Amy had said that a few months later, after that accident, Carol buried her husband, and now she is alone with her daughter Sophia, and life is relatively poor.
It was Amy's decision on this matter, and he didn't ask about it.
In the current umbrella base, although Amy claims to be Leon's personal secretary, most of the clutter is arranged by her, although the position does not seem high, but the power is very great, in the hearts of most ordinary employees, this twenty-three or four-year-old girl, I am afraid that she is already a big man.
But what caused Carol to come over early in the morning to learn marksmanship, Leon probably had a guess in his mind, he did not bother the single mother, but returned to his residence, and slept until 8 o'clock.
After waking up, little Amy came over with a hearty breakfast, waited for him to eat and told him that the prison stronghold would send a group of survivors to the base for interviews, about 20 people, who were the survivors found around the prison stronghold in the past half a month, and asked him if he would go to this interview.
Leon thought for a while, and agreed, although not all the employees in the company were recruited by him personally, but everyone's resumes and recruitment videos, he personally watched carefully, even if many people can't remember their names, but everyone has a vague impression in his mind.
After breakfast and some more business, it was about 9 o'clock, and Leon arrived at Andrea's office, a conference room on the first floor.
It has been officially named the personnel team, responsible for the deployment of personnel throughout the company, compensation and recruitment of new members, Andrea as the leader of the personnel team, the company's veteran employees, has also been promoted to C-level members, is one of the few senior government personnel in the entire company.
She received Amy's notice early and waited at the door of the personnel team to receive Leon.
There is no extra greetings, the two have long been acquaintances who have been together for a long time, not to mention that Andrea is still Amy's sister, and the relationship between the two is a little closer than the relationship between employees and bosses.
Sitting at the main seat of the interview table, Andrea brought a cup of coffee and said softly:
"Leon, is the interview ready to begin?"
Leon took the coffee, smiled kindly at her, and said:
"This is your territory, Andrea, it's all up to you, I'm just here to take a look."
Andrea smiled back at him, and soon, under her arrangement, the interview began.
Two heavily armed patrol guards walked into the room with more than 20 survivors.
Guided by other staff members, they lined up in a long line, received the paperwork to fill out, and began the formal interview.
Sitting on the main seat, Leon glanced at the survivors, but saw several familiar figures, the tall and burly black strong man Hammer God, his sister, the little black girl Sasha with an explosive head, and the son of the couple who accompanied him to the prison and talked to them in the original TV series.
However, unlike in the TV series, this time his wife was not bitten by a zombie and is still alive.
Leon continued to watch with a kind smile, not bothering the interview process, just thinking about it in his heart, calculating the time, Hammer God and his sister did find the prison at about this time.
It seems that while their umbrella company has done a lot of things around Atlanta, it still hasn't affected what should have happened.
Thinking of this, looking at the Hammer God brothers and sisters, Leon thought of another group of people who had a tragic end.
That is, the survivors of the terminal not too far from the prison stronghold.
In my memory, that group of people was originally considered good people, but in the process of doing good, they encountered a group of scum predators, and then suffered a lot of abuse and violations, and finally changed from sheep to butchers and became cannibals.
At the present time, there should be hope for salvation.
With this incident in mind, Leon visited the entire interview process, and the results were not bad.
It's the 10th month of the apocalypse, and the survivors who have survived until now are all people who are extremely eager to join a powerful organization, and after 10 months of suffering, everyone has more or less human or zombie blood on their hands, and they can't be considered rookies anymore.
There were 25 survivors sent from the prison base, and after hearing about the benefits of the umbrella company, all the other adults wanted to join the engineering department or the security department to get a better life, except for some women and children with few skills, who could only become members of the logistics department.
However, only four of these people were able to join the engineering department as technicians, a university physics teacher, a doctor, a senior fisherman, and a senior chef.
Of the four technicians, the fisherman and the chef were the most attractive to Leon, and the veteran fisherman understood very well, after all, in addition to growing food, fishing is also an important way to obtain food.
And the senior chef who claims to be a three-Michelin-starred hotel will become his personal chef after the trial period.
In the current world, food has become one of Lyon's greatest hobbies and enjoyments, and he will have to live here for a long, long time, and he cannot treat himself badly.
Except for these technicians, women and children, I didn't expect that among the remaining dozen or so adults, except for three or four cowardly ones, everyone else wanted to join the security department and get that high salary and benefits.
As the end of the world progressed longer and longer, the survivors became more familiar with combat and searching, and they all realized the preciousness of food, medicine, guns and other materials, and gradually became willing to take risks to obtain more supplies.
However, since a few months ago, the Department of Security has been streamlining and reforming to weed out ordinary people who have only courage but no talent for fighting, and have set increasingly stringent recruitment conditions.
Not only do they have to go through many physical and skill tests, but even if they join the security department, they need to go through a probationary period of up to three months, and once they fail the probationary period, they will be returned to the logistics department and become a laborer.
But at the same time, this is also a certain degree of liberalization of the scope of recruitment, because now, as long as the employees of the umbrella company, after hard work and training, can pass the assessment of the Ministry of Security, regardless of race, gender, or age, they can choose to join here and become a glorious soldier.
Even if they don't succeed in the assessment once or twice, as long as they are willing to work hard and try, there are countless opportunities for the assessment.
Time passed by minute by second, and after the interview, these employees had to go through a series of chores such as training, visits, housing allocation, and learning rules and regulations.
As the big boss, Leon never asked about these little things, and seeing that there was still more than an hour before lunchtime, he thought about it and came to the training ground in a corner of the square outside the base.
This is the training course for armed mechanics, which is led by Sherman and Peggy.
They are all selected from all the employees, young people with flexible minds and good at operating electronic devices.
But obviously, military drones are not something so easy to control, and looking at the crooked, indiscriminate flying machinery in the air, Leon reminds himself that everything requires a lot of patience.
Judging from the war during this time, these drones and armed mechanical dogs are indeed a very practical tactical weapon, they integrate various functions such as reconnaissance, exploration, combat, and decoy enemies, which can greatly reduce the damage of soldiers.
Thus, Lyon not only fulfilled his previous promise to have Sherman organize a training course on armed machinery, but also set up a special research group in the engineering department to improve and manufacture these practical armed machines.
Not only that, but he also gave Colonel William and Kevela a death order, ordering them to take time out of their time to set up a tank handling training course and a helicopter piloting training course.
More than 5 pilots must be trained for the umbrella company within half a year.
After the battle of the Senas nuclear power plant, Lyon also became more aware of the importance of weaponry, and he began to actively collect information about all surrounding areas, military warehouses and similar facilities, and issued a large reward within the company.
Anyone who can provide valid intelligence in this area will receive a huge bounty.
This bounty order even caused a wave of search for military bases within the company, but unfortunately a long time has passed, and no one has provided a truly effective intelligence.
He had also asked Colonel William about this, but unfortunately, before the disaster, Colonel William had been stationed in foreign territory, and although he had accumulated a considerable amount of actual combat experience, he knew very little about domestic intelligence.
In this way, the matter gradually delayed.
Peggy, who was debugging the computer, noticed Leon's arrival, and immediately put down the work in her hand and came to his side briskly.
"Boss, you're here!"
The girl smiled sweetly and looked at him with watery eyes, like a puppy trying to please its owner.
Leon raised his hand and touched her short blonde hair, and asked softly:
"How? Are these students learning fast? ”
Peggy squinted, seemingly enjoying Leon stroking her hair, she bit her lower lip and said:
"Those guys are stupid, dumber than Sherman, and it takes at least two months of training for them to be proficient in drones and armed robot dogs."
The girl showed a flattering and desire to be complimented, and said to Leon:
"My brother and I learned how to manipulate them in just a week."
Leon complimented her rather with interest.
"Of course, Ling and your brother are both talented people, and you have helped me a lot."
After receiving his compliment, Peggy showed a satisfied smile, she reached out and grabbed Leon's palm, her cheeks flushed, and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, can I go to you at night? I haven't been with you in a week and I miss you so much. ”
Leon looked at the girl's innocent and lovely face.
But as a self-disciplined person, he licked his lips and said with some difficulty:
"In a few days, I've been busy lately, and I'll take the initiative to find you when the time comes."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Peggy's blue eyes, but she immediately showed a sweet smile and said:
"Okay, boss, I'll wait for you."
After a brief conversation, Peggy took Leon on on a closer look at the training ground and introduced him to the young cadets.
However, Leon noticed an interesting phenomenon, all the students in this training ground, including Sherman, would subconsciously look a little intimidated when facing Peggy.
It seems that in front of him, Peggy is a bird-like, strong and cute girl, but in front of others, maybe Peggy is not as gentle and cute as she appears now.
Speaking of which, perhaps it was Leon who cut off Peggy's left arm with a knife in the Polytechnic University shelter and saved the girl's life, so she has always had a wonderful affection for herself.
After visiting the armed machinery training ground, Leon accompanied the Peggy siblings to lunch, and after cultivating a little bond with his right-hand men, Leon returned to his office.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Maggie, a peasant girl in suspenders and a gray linen shirt, enjoying dessert on the table with Amy, talking and laughing.
