Chapter 536: Mr. Clement's Thoughts, Roan's Goals
The next day, Monday, noon, airport.
Today's sun is very good, Mona is wearing a hat with a long brim, her hands are folded in front of her chest, and she is standing at the gate of the hall with an expressionless face waiting for someone.
It didn't take long for Caroline Evans, who was dressed as a tourist, to pull a big suitcase out of the exit, and when she saw Mona, she waved her arms and ran towards Mona:
"Good afternoon, my good sister!"
Caroline gave Mona a big hug, and the picture of the two beautiful women hugging always attracted attention, coupled with the very similar faces of Mona and Caroline, the eyes of the men nearby were full of amazement.
"Let go."
Mona broke free from Caroline's embrace, looked at her coldly, didn't take the other party's luggage, turned around and walked outside the airport:
"Keep up."
Caroline didn't care about Mona's cold attitude, and followed with a smile and her luggage.
In the parking lot, Mona walked over to a white car she had rented temporarily, opened the trunk, and snuggled at Caroline.
Caroline struggled to stuff the suitcase in, sat in the co-pilot, looked at Mona who was driving, and asked curiously:
"What about Roan? Why didn't he come? Are you two at odds? ”
"Roan has his own business to do."
Mona drove the car out of the parking lot, then took a folder from the back seat of the car and handed it to Caroline, and said with a blank face:
"The rules of cohabitation, you must memorize them."
"Shared housing rules?"
Caroline opened the folder and saw that it had written down some rules when the three of them lived together.
For example, Caroline "can't wear short skirts or shorts; Don't expose too many body parts......" and so on, and filled a full ten pages.
“……”
Caroline smiled slightly, opened the car window and threw the folder out on the road.
Mona looked at Caroline unhappily, and the corners of Caroline's mouth raised slightly:
"There's no need to be so nervous, my good sister, I didn't plan to rob your Roan."
"Hmph-"
The red light turned green, Mona sneered and started the car and continued to drive forward, Caroline stretched her waist vigorously and asked:
"Where are we going?"
"Go buy a house."
"I must buy a bigger house, and the kind with good sound insulation, I don't want to be unable to sleep at night because of Luo An and Ling's voices, and I have dark circles under my eyes the next day......"
"Ka-Ro-Lin!!"

Meanwhile, on the top floor of a building in Washington, D.C.
It is an upscale private dining room that must be booked in advance to get a spot, and the décor feels like it has entered Europe in the last century.
In a private room in the depths of the restaurant, Verenis, who was wearing a silver dress, was communicating with the waiter in French, and Luo An, who was dressed in a suit, sat opposite, boredly observing the wall lamp on the wall on the left hand side of the two.
It didn't take long for the waiter to nod, bend slightly towards Luo An and turn to leave, and after the door closed, Verenis smiled, looked at Luo An and said softly:
"The beef stewed in red wine at this restaurant is very distinctive."
"Then I'll try it later."
Roan smiled and began to make small talk with Vereneth.
After a few moments, the waiter brought two small appetizers and turned to leave, and Ann was not in a hurry to taste them, because Verenes took out a piece of paper from her handbag and handed it to him.
"This is the composition of the personnel and departments of the FBI's headquarters in Washington."
Verenes picked up her fork, picked up a small piece of appetizer and fed it to her mouth, and explained with a smile:
"If you want to work at the Washington headquarters, these are the must-knows."
Luo An carefully looked at the information on the paper, and from the perspective of organizational structure, the FBI Washington headquarters can be divided into two parts:
Director's Office, functional department group.
Among them, the Director's Office, including the Office of the Director of the FBI Headquarters, the Office of the Deputy Director of the FBI Headquarters, and the Office of the Director of the FBI Headquarters, is mainly responsible for administrative work.
In a functional group, there are a bunch of departments, and each department is responsible for different functional work.
To put it simply, the former is in charge of politics, and the latter is in charge of doing things.
"Mr. Clement, is the Director of Headquarters and Special Adviser to the Director."
Seeing that Luo An was thoughtful, Verenis picked up the red wine and took a sip, and said lightly:
"Some of this position is not very good."
Luo An looked up puzzled, Verenis's face was slightly gloomy, and she asked:
"Roan, do you think Mr. Clement has a chance to be promoted to the director of the FBI headquarters?"
"Impossible."
Luo An shook his head without thinking about it, since the death of Edgar Hoover, the presidents of the Federation and the Senate have begun to suppress the FBI.
Since 1972, the F.B.I. director has been limited to 10 years and must be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
These are the rules on the surface, and there is an unwritten rule in the cover:
The director of the FBI headquarters cannot be promoted from the FBI headquarters, and must find an outsider from the Department of Justice or other departments to parachute in.
So the possibility of Mr. Clement wanting to be promoted to the head of the FBI is almost equal to zero, and he can go to the position of deputy director of the FBI headquarters at most.
Thinking of this, Luo An had a guess, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked:
"Mr. Clement, want to enter the Department of Justice?"
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) are all departments of the Federal Department of Justice.
Now that the position of the director of the FBI headquarters has been blocked, and the position of the deputy director cannot be satisfied, Mr. Clement wants to continue to go up, and he can only find a way to enter the Department of Justice.
"That's right!"
Vereneth nodded, giving Roan an an appreciative look.
There are only two ways to move up from the FBI to the Department of Justice: with outstanding political performance; Someone promoted.
It is common in the Federation to be promoted, and the president can step in to help as long as the benefits are sufficient.
Roan's eyes moved slightly, presumably this was the reason why Mr. Clement always went to the White House.
But promotion also needs to have sufficient reasons, such as excellent work ability, the benefits paid are not enough, it is not easy to gag the opponent's mouth, and other political achievements are also needed.
For example, cracking certain cases.
Mr. Clement will definitely not be able to solve this kind of case, so he needs a person with excellent ability, excellent performance, real talent, and trust.
The 12 investigation teams at the FBI's Washington headquarters are all agents under the functional department of [Crime, Cyber, Correspondence and Services], and the personnel are complex and have their own thoughts.
Mr. Clement, who was in charge of the direction of political work, could not believe them, so the thirteenth investigation team led by Roan appeared.
Mr. Clement's promotion to the Ministry of Justice, Luo An can naturally get benefits, promotion and salary increase are one thing, and there is a high probability that he will be transferred to the Ministry of Justice by the other party for reasonable reasons.
When the time comes, I will continue to move upward, I am still young, and then I will rely on my understanding of some things...... Luo An's eyes narrowed slightly, it is impossible for him to become president, but he has a great chance to become a minister in certain departments!
Luo An is not particularly keen on power, but he is very interested in money, and the federation is a capitalist country, and the "revolving door of politics and business" and "political donations" are reasonable and legitimate.
Luo An quickly figured it out, a smile flashed in his eyes, Verenis saw this, the color of appreciation in his eyes became more and more intense, the two picked up the wine glasses and touched them, looked at each other and laughed in unison:
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The piece of paper that Vereneth gave to Roanne contained not only the organizational composition of the FBI's Washington headquarters, but also the identities, work experiences, good and bad relationships, and conflicts of interest between the heads of various departments.
There is almost no blatant hostility, but due to their different interests, there are not a few things that make each other stumble, and Vereneth sorted out all this information and told Luo An, hoping that he would pay more attention in the future.
This piece of paper can't be kept, and after reading it, Luo An memorized the information in his mind and burned it to ashes with fire.
After lunch, the two walked out of the restaurant, Verenis took the first step to leave in the car, and Luo An took out his mobile phone and called Mona:
"How's the house looking?"
"Something happened."
Mona on the other end of the phone said in a strange tone:
"You need to hurry up."
