Chapter 401: When things go wrong, there must be demons
"Oh~Woo~"
"Oh~Woo~"
"Oh~Woo~"
……
Late at night, W block.
The piercing fire siren woke up many people's dreams.
In front of Villa 76, four fire trucks from the Los Angeles Fire Department were neatly parked on the side of the road, but what was a little strange was that the fire was clearly in front of the sky, and the raging fire reflected the night sky orange, but the firefighters in front of the fire truck did not aim the sprinklers in their hands at Villa 76, but kept spraying water around the villa to prevent the fire from further expanding.
About a few hundred meters away from Villa 76, Danny Grant sat in a black Lincoln Extension, and in front of him sat Benjamin Martin, the deputy chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department, who was wearing a duty uniform and looked full of justice.
"Director Benjamin, it's really hard to be on duty late at night."
Danny Grant took out a bottle of Glenfarclas 50 Years Reserve worth tens of thousands of dollars from the car refrigerator next to him, and then took out two foreign wine glasses and motioned to Benjamin Martin: "The night is long, and there is nothing to do, I wonder if Director Benjamin is interested in having a drink with me, an old man?" ”
"Mr. Danny, it's my pleasure to have a drink with you."
Although he is now on fire, in the face of Danny Grant's invitation, Benjamin Martin agreed without even thinking about it, because he knew very well what the identity of the other party was.
If he can be on this thigh, then he will be soaring and close at hand.
Of course......
Benjamin Martin also understands that when things go wrong, there must be demons.
Risks and benefits always go hand in hand.
Obviously, Villa No. 76 burned to the sky, but the other party asked him not to carry out rescue fire extinguishing on Villa 76 before Villa No. 76 burned to the ground, and only allowed protective fire extinguishing on the periphery to prevent further expansion of the fire.
Obviously, there are some things in this villa No. 76 that cannot be seen, and the other party is destroying it with the help of fire, and even this fire is likely to be sent by the other party.
Now, he agreed to the other party's request, which means that he is tied up with the other party in this matter, if one day this matter explodes, then he will have to bear the responsibility of the joint sitting, but if this matter is settled, then he will inevitably get the benefits of the other party, whether it is money or status, it is enough for him to return with a full load.
In fact, the other party seems to have given him a choice, but does he really have the right to refuse? If he chooses to refuse, he may be called back urgently, and then someone else will carry out the fire alarm, and the consequences of the other party will be evil, and he will probably be removed from his post because he entered the office with his left foot when he goes to work tomorrow.
The amber liquor slowly flowed down the wall of the glass, and Benjamin Martin's thoughts were so twisted that he was about to reach out and pick up the glass, but Danny Grant raised his hand to stop him.
"How can you drink foreign wine without ice hockey?"
Danny Grant smiled, then turned around and took out two ice hockey pucks from the freezer of the car refrigerator, and after he opened the ice hockey molds, he put the two crystal clear ice hockey balls in the wine glass.
Everything was ready, Danny Grant picked up the wine glass with a smile, and Benjamin Martin saw this, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of him with both hands, took the initiative to press the rim of the wine glass to the lowest, and gently followed the other party to touch it, and the whole person looked a little flattered.
The cold liquor entered his throat, and it was the first time Benjamin Martin had tasted such an expensive foreign wine, and he did not dare to show any expression, nor did he dare to make any comments, for fear that he would laugh at his shallow knowledge.
"Director Benjamin, how old are you?"
Danny Grant took a sip of his wine, looked at Benjamin Martin, and asked with a smile.
When Benjamin Martin heard this, he responded truthfully: "Mr. Danny, I just celebrated my birthday two weeks ago and am 45 years old this year. ”
"45 years old, that's a good age." Danny Grant sighed with emotion: "I'm an old acquaintance with you Director Frank, he's 65 years old this year, right?" Are you going to retire next year? ”
"Yes."
"Director Frank, his health has not been very good in recent years, and he is already preparing for retirement."
Frank Monis, the chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department, is Benjamin Martin's direct boss, Danny Grant was not surprised to know Chief Frank, and now when he heard the other party suddenly mention it, his heart beat for no reason.
"The fire is merciless, the fire department carries the safety of all Los Angeles citizens, Director Frank is indeed a good director, but unfortunately he is a little too old, I, as a good citizen of Los Angeles, if I choose a new fire chief, I think it is necessary to find a young and strong person to protect the property safety of the citizens of the city."
Danny Grant said this, he raised his wine glass, with a slight smile in his eyes: "Director Benjamin, I think you are very suitable, are you interested in the position of this director?" ”
"Mr. Danny, I'm interested, of course I'm interested."
At this moment, if Benjamin Martin still didn't understand what the other party meant, then he was a little too stupid, he was a little unbearable and excited, and then said: "But I am only 45 years old, and the deputy director of the same level as me, each of them is older and older than me, can I compete with them?" ”
"Director Benjamin, you can become the deputy director at such a young age, this person said that your ability is obvious to all, if the director of the competition does not look at ability, but only looks at whose age and who is older, then with my age, if I go to compete for the president of the United States imperialism, won't I be able to win?"
Danny Grant raised his glass and said with a smile.
"Mr. Danny, with your reputation, if you run for president of the United States imperialism, I feel that you really have a chance to succeed."
Benjamin Martin complimented with a smile.
Danny Grant waved his hand: "I'm a half-cut person, I just want to guard our Victor Foundation now, I don't want to think about anything else, friends of the Victor Foundation, it's my friend, the enemy of the Victor Foundation, it's my enemy, I think Director Benjamin has a great future in the future, I don't know if Director Benjamin is willing to be a friend or enemy of our Victor Foundation?" ”
"Mr. Danny, I am willing to be the most loyal friend of the Victor Foundation!"
Benjamin Martin knew that the time had come to decide his future fate, and he raised his glass in both hands, then lowered his head deeply, and said respectfully.
Danny Grant smiled with satisfaction, he looked through the car window at Villa 76, where the fire had engulfed the roof and the entire house was beginning to crumble, and then raised his wine glass and said to Benjamin Martin: "After drinking this glass of wine, Director Benjamin will let the people below start preparing to extinguish the fire." ”
"Good!"
Benjamin Martin replied.
