"What?"
Hearing this, Luo An looked a little surprised.
How could it be so fast?
But before Luo An asked the reason behind it, Augustus added in a low voice:
"Veranith has almost recovered. I asked just now and she will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."
Hearing this, Luo An's eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing August's dark face with raised eyebrows, Luo An also showed a smile. He hurriedly picked up the bottle and touched it with August:
"Thank you for the news, sir."
"No need to thank me, you earned this through your own efforts."
Patting Luo An on the shoulder, Augustus picked up the wine bottle and touched it with him. He raised his head and took a big sip. The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.
On Sunday, Luo An and Augustus went to the hospital where Veranith was staying. While visiting her, they helped her pack some things when she was discharged.
Early Monday morning, August was notified to head upstairs for a meeting.
Five hours later, the best-informed William was the first to get the news that the top leader of their FBI New York branch, [Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Division-Criminal Investigation Division], Special Agent in Charge Corbett, was transferred to News from Washington Headquarters.
The person who took over the position of Special Agent in Charge was a woman named Veranith!
The moment they heard the news, various departments in the FBI's New York branch suddenly became noisy.
The time now is, after all, 2005. Because there is no political correctness, there are not many female leaders in the federal government, not to mention the FBI, a law enforcement agency that is entirely led by men and where men make up the majority.
The ordinary agents at the bottom were very surprised by this, while some of the more well-informed leaders above understood the reason why Veranith was able to successfully rise to the top.
In addition to the thighs behind Veranith's back, another important reason is that her No. 5 Investigation Team and the agent named Roan Greenwood in the No. 5 Investigation Team continued to solve the case and forced Veranith to Pushed up.
The current crime detection rate of Investigation Team No. 5 is not 100%, and it will not become 100% in the future.
Because before Luo An was transferred here, Investigation Team No. 5 had taken on several cases, but none of them were solved and had to be handed over to other investigation teams in the end.
Therefore, the No. 5 investigation team at that time had a crime detection rate of 0%, which was directly the last among the thirteen investigation teams.
But since Luo An joined the No. 5 Investigation Team, the detection rate here has begun to rise sharply, quickly approaching 100%.
When Veranith successfully took office as the Special Agent in Charge, she delivered her inaugural speech and began to announce new orders.
One of them was to promote Agent Roan Greenwood to deputy leader of Investigation Team No. 5. The leaders looked at me and I looked at you, and no one raised any objections or objections.
In addition to the fact that Veranith's new official took office three times, another reason is that Roan Greenwood deserves the title!
Veranith's two opponents also expressed some emotion. If she didn't have Roan Greenwood, or Roanne Greenwood was under her, they might be able to replace Veranith as the special agent in charge.
When they learned from Augustus that Luo An had been promoted to deputy team leader, the agents of Investigation Team No. 5 were stunned at first, and then applauded in unison.
"marvelous!"
"Congratulations! Luo An!"
"No, I will call Luo An the deputy team leader from now on!"
All the agents laughed and cheered loudly, among which Mona's eyes were the most joyful and Lacey clapped the hardest.
While Ryder was applauding, there was some emotion on his face:
"Luo An became the deputy team leader at the age of 25. Am I too old?"
When the 35-year-old Lacey next to her heard this, she twitched her lips and slapped Ryder's arm hard.
Although he had been prepared in his heart, when the appointment was actually handed down and the document was handed over to him by Augustus, Luo An still couldn't help but smile on his face.
After all, after becoming the deputy team leader, his salary increased from 3,000 to 4,000!
This is what makes him happiest.
After having fun with the agents for a while, Luo An walked into the team leader's office and asked:
"Sir, Veranith has been promoted to Special Agent in Charge, so who is our new team leader?"
Augustus chuckled, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and replied:
"It's the former leader of Investigation Team No. 2, Hurrell Horst."
There are two reasons why Augustus was not promoted. The first is that he was transferred from other departments to become the leader of Investigation Team No. 5 for too short a time, and the second is that he is too old.
Among them, being too old is the most important reason, even though Luo An quickly increased the detection rate of investigation team No. 5.
"Hurrell is an old friend of mine. I had a chat with him after the meeting just now."
Putting the coffee cup on the table, Augustus looked at Luo An and chuckled:
"In the future, you can handle the case how you want to handle it. He will not arbitrarily interfere with the work of our No. 5 Investigation Team."
On the surface, Investigation Team 5 is under the jurisdiction of the newly promoted team leader Hurrell Horst, but now who doesn’t know that Roan Greenwood is a member of Veranith.
Moreover, Hurrell Horst was promoted to group leader because of his qualifications after so many years, not because of someone behind him or other reasons.
Unless something unexpected happens, until Hurrell retires, his highest position will only be group supervisor, and he will not be promoted.
So in the face of a young talent like Luo An, who became the deputy leader of the investigation team at the age of 25, and was covered by Veranis, who showed that he would definitely continue to develop to the top in the future, Hu Ruier would not bend down to flatter him. , but it will never hinder Luo An. Win-win cooperation is the way to go.
And judging from Hurrell's many years of experience, August's position as team leader is probably the next step Verenis has prepared for Luo An!
Hearing August's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Luo An's face. After the two briefly chatted for a while, Luo An got up and left the office.
After chatting casually with Mona and others, Luo An left the No. 5 Investigation Team office area and went to the office of Special Agent Director Veranith.
When Roan arrived, Veranith was sitting behind her desk, lowering her head to deal with the files on the table that were twice as high as her head.
Dong dong dong——
"Enter."
Veranith's words were still brief and concise.
After walking into the office and closing the door, Luo An chuckled:
"Congratulations, sir."
Looking up, she saw that the person coming was Luo An. A smile slowly appeared on Veranith's originally expressionless face, and she pointed to the sofa beside her:
"sit."
"Thank you, sir."
Sitting on the sofa, Luo An raised his eyebrows because Veranith not only got up and left the chair and walked to the sofa, but also poured him a cup of coffee with her own hands.
"Thank you, sir."
After taking the coffee, Luo An took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up. It tasted better than the new coffee from the No. 5 Investigation Team.
Seeing the light in Luo An's eyes, Veranis raised the corner of her mouth slightly:
"When you leave later, you can take some of the coffee beans here. They are of good quality."
"Thank you, sir."
Luo An smiled and agreed. Veranith looked at Luo An with more and more satisfaction. After thinking about it, she handed Luo An a folder.
As expected by Luo An, inside was a notice of his level promotion at the Columbus Foundation.
"Wow."
The smile on Luo An's face became even brighter. Just as he was about to raise his head to speak, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Before Veranith, who frowned slightly, could speak, the office door was opened directly, and the visitor said eagerly:
"Sir, the NYPD just called us and said they found the body of one of our senior FBI agents!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the two people in the office suddenly changed. Veranith stood up immediately:
"Who is this agent? What is his name? Which department is he from?!"
