"You'll be back soon, Luo An."
In the office of the leader of Investigation Team No. 5, Augustus was sitting on a chair, drinking coffee with a bulging belly. After gesturing for Luo An to sit down, he grinned widely and said:
"How's it going? Are you scared by Verenis' scrutiny?"
"No."
Luo An poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip and replied:
"It's just a simple inquiry about my family background. My life experience from childhood to adulthood is clear and can be traced. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Um?"
Augustus was stunned. He only asked about his family background and did not conduct a strict psychological test or lie test?
For a moment, Augustus was silent, not understanding why Roan was given special treatment by Verenis.
Forget it, it’s not important.
Augustus put aside the thoughts in his mind, put down the coffee cup and said to Luo An with a smile:
"The Darren couple went to the hospital for a physical check-up today. They sent someone to tell me at noon that they would come here tomorrow to pay a thank you fee. I hope you will not be absent then."
"no problem."
Luo An's eyes lit up and he agreed decisively. He would never be late for matters related to money.
"very good."
Augustus smiled and nodded, then picked up a blue folder on the desktop and handed it to Luo An.
Why does this scene seem familiar?
Luo An raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and opened the folder, and found that inside was a written certificate for doubling the bonus.
"Sir?"
"That's right, Luo An, your performance last night impressed many people. Everyone is very satisfied with you."
Picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip, Augustus smiled and explained:
"I originally wanted to promote you to a senior agent, but you have just been promoted to a full-time agent for less than three days, and the superiors will not agree to it even if you submit the materials. However, the reward will not be lost. Your bonus this month will be doubled. times."
"Thank you, sir!"
After signing his name on the written certificate using Roan Greenwood's writing habit, Roan lowered his head and considered it, then asked Augustus with a smile:
"By the way, sir, I was able to kill Frazier this time. Every agent of Investigation Team 5 contributed a lot. It's not appropriate for me to take the reward of 100,000 US dollars by myself. How about this, I take 50,000." U.S. dollars, how about we share the remaining fifty thousand dollars equally?”
There is no benefit to eating alone. This is the experience taught to Luo An by the old killer in his previous life.
When the old killer was young, he had seen many talents in the world wipe the necks of their teammates after completing their tasks, and then take all the money and run out to be happy.
But in the end, few of these people survived to the end. Most of them were stabbed in the back at critical moments and died without their bodies intact.
Luo An agreed with the old killer's point of view. From ancient times to the present, countless people have used their own lives to warn those who come after them: You will not get far if you go alone, and win-win cooperation is the way to go.
Even if you get the meat, you must also let your teammates get the soup, otherwise you will end up being betrayed and separated from your relatives.
In the process of arresting Frazier, the murderer of the serial murder case, every agent of Investigation Team 5 provided help to Luo An, so he must come up with the reward of 100,000 US dollars, otherwise... .People’s hearts are unpredictable.
Investigation Team No. 5 is Luo An's base, and he doesn't want to be stabbed in the back because of this little money in the future.
Hearing Luo An's words, Augustus narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:
"Are you sure, Luo An? One hundred thousand dollars is not a small sum of money. Are you sure you want to pay half of it?"
"certainly!"
Luo An smiled and nodded.
The money now is not important. It is important not to hold him back, but to be able to support his teammates at critical moments. Only with teammates like this can he make more money in the future.
"Well, it's your money anyway, you have the final say."
Augustus nodded nonchalantly, picked up the folder and waved it to indicate that the matter was over and Luo An could get out.
"Oh, right."
Just when Luo An got up from his chair and walked to the door of the team leader's office, Augustus suddenly slapped his head, stopped Luo An and said to him:
"You can tell everyone this news yourself."
"..."
Turning his head, Luo An looked at Augustus carefully, his eyes flashed, and the corner of his mouth raised:
"Okay, sir."
After saying that, he opened the office door and strode away.
Bang bang bang——
Through the door of the office, I saw all the agents in the office area applauding and cheering Luo An when they heard Luo An announce that everyone would get money again this month. Augustus' big dark face was full of smiles. With a smile, he took out his mobile phone and pressed the dial button.
"Sir, as I guessed before, Luo An is as smart as me and did not choose to take the bonus alone."
Augustus laughed and didn't say much on the other end of the phone. He just hung up the phone with a hum.
When he heard the busy signal on the phone, the smile on Augustus's face became even bigger.
——
In the office area, the cheers and applause gradually died down. After thanking Luo An, the agents followed Luo An's words and returned to their workstations one after another, and began their daily routine...fishing.
"Hey, Luo An."
Returning to her seat, Mona gave Luo An a big hug and said with a smile on her face:
"Thank you so much! Not only do I have money to pay off the apartment loan this month, but I also have enough money left to buy a better car!"
"Uh...you're welcome."
Luo An opened his mouth, thought for a moment but didn't say anything more.
The American people don't seem to be very accustomed to saving money. If they have money, they spend it. If they don't have money, they borrow tomorrow's money to spend. This is the normal state of their lives.
"Roan!"
On the side, Lacey started sleeping on the table again. Ryder, who was smiling, squeezed over from behind her and slapped Luo An on the shoulder:
"Are you okay after get off work later? How about going to my gun shop? By the way, you can teach me your pen-slinging technique!"
"Gun shop?"
Luo An pulled an unoccupied chair from the side and motioned for Ryder to sit down. He was too tall and his neck hurt when he raised his head to talk to him. Then he asked with some confusion:
"Did your parents drive it?"
"No, my wife drives it. It's in Queens."
Ryder shook his head and said he had been married for five years. His wife is a former New York police officer who resigned from the police force after being injured and married him. The two have a son who attends preschool every day.
Luo An: "..."
Considering that Ryder is already thirty-eight years old, it is normal for him to have a wife and son.
Look at the explosive muscles all over Ryder's body. He is from a swat background and his wife is also a former police officer. Opening a gun shop is in line with their status as a couple.
Looking at the other person's hopeful eyes, Luo An nodded and was ready to agree. Anyway, he had nothing to do after get off work, so it would be nice to have a shoot with his colleagues to bond with each other, and he could also practice his handjob skills.
At this moment, Luo An's cell phone suddenly rang.
Picking up the phone, Luo An frowned slightly when he found that the number was unknown. He pressed the answer button, and a lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Luo An, can you come to my place after get off work later? I need your help with something."
Luo An raised his eyebrows, the female manager of the 'Queen of Fire' bar, Lydia?
