"Speaking of which, you made a very right choice by not joining the CIA!"
Although it was not clear what exactly Smith liked about the other person, since the offer had been sent to him, Shepard was still prepared to keep the person for him. After all, a sixteen-year-old talented girl studying for a Ph.D. It is also rare in the world. Even if it cannot help you, it is still very good to keep it as an eye-catching vase!
So he immediately began to spare no effort to throw dirty water on the two old men who had helped him a lot.
"Why?"
"Because the CIA is a backwater with rampant bureaucracy. Newcomers have no prospects for development there. Their salaries are low, there are many jobs, and there are no holidays. The old people like to suppress those newcomers who have all kinds of dazzling auras, and even treat those who are new to the CIA. Send those who stand out too much to Vietnam!”
"Sounds pretty bad!"
Helen crossed her legs, and Shepard couldn't take his eyes away from the plump long legs under her jeans.
"Well, there are even worse things. Promiscuity is rife there, one out of three employees has syphilis, and CIA officials even gather people to blow leaves. It's a waste of youth to go there!"
"Then you shouldn't have these problems here, right?"
"Of course. In fact, what Shadow Company can do best is discipline!"
Shepard regained his energy and immediately puffed up his chest proudly and began to boast about his great construction achievements.
Of course, he was also a shy boy and did not dare to brag too harshly. He only emphasized that many aspects of Shadow Company's development from scratch were inseparable from his outstanding contributions.
"Well, that's our camp!"
When the helicopter flew over the base, Shepard immediately opened the cabin door and briefly showed the other party the results of his construction over the past year.
From the initial expansion of the Belgian garrison camp to the later field airport, shooting training area, reserve warehouse, and field rescue center, it can be said that these things were plagiarized by Shepard himself, ah no, planned by himself.
The uniform camp did give Helen a little shock. After all, she expected military contractors to be just like mercenaries, with no military discipline at all. But now, she had to admit that she Maybe he really underestimated Shepard.
Regarding her arrival, Hannibal and others also expressed a very sincere welcome. Because of business issues, Shadow Company's current finances, internal affairs and many other tasks require them, guys with military backgrounds, to be responsible for Helen Parker's arrival. However, it has greatly liberated them from these tedious daily tasks, giving them time to return to combat personnel, management and training. It is not too late for them to be happy about this.
"Oh my god, Smith must understand our difficulties!"
Plomri said happily that the former boss was good only after comparison. Compared with the happy fishing time when he only had to be a thug, the days of being a social beast under Shepard were simply unbearable.
"What the hell, it's like I didn't give you a salary increase!"
Shepard wanted to give this old guy a kick, but he had something more important to do, and that was an international long distance trip with Smith.
"How about it?"
“How about what?
"Human, this is what you asked for. She has a beautiful voice and a sweet voice. Morgan and I had to use Lao Dali to fool her!"
"Thank you very much, I'll try to fool a few more of you in the future!"
"You kid, you don't even want to say thank you to us!"
"You're welcome, old man!"
"You, people like this are considered treasures in the CIA, so don't neglect it. And if I hadn't mentioned your idea to her, she wouldn't have even considered coming to Shadow Company!"
"No, what did you say?"
"Your grand idea, the number one military contractor in the industry, a benchmark in the industry, a new field, I have said it all!"
"Fa...can this be said?"
Shepard immediately wanted to curse. This kind of thing is very social. It's like a family member is chatting with relatives and suddenly mentions you and says that your dream is to be a superman in the universe. And the most important thing is that the relatives take it seriously. , even willing to help you or something.
"Why can't you say this? If it weren't for your ideal, people wouldn't come at all. Boy, don't think that it's embarrassing to make such a grand statement!"
"I didn't say it was embarrassing!"
"That means you're shy?"
Smith was holding the phone almost uncontrollably, and sitting opposite him, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Shepard was also suppressing a smile. Only at this moment, Shepard looked more like him. He is a nineteen-year-old ignorant young man, not a young adult who is very mature in speaking and doing things.
"Okay, no more talking, I have something else to do, no more chatting!"
"No, wait a minute, I have something else to do!"
"What's up?"
"It's the other party, is it reliable? You understand, it's the other party, is it trustworthy?"
"Well, for now, it is considered reliable. Her brother is a senior executive of MI6 and has cooperated with us quite a lot. He is also an old acquaintance!"
"That's good!"
Shepard nodded. This was what he was most worried about, but since Smith said so, it was enough to prove that the other party was trustworthy.
And Helen Parker was indeed here to work. On the second day after arriving at the camp, she took over all the work related to business cooperation and finance, and quickly completed the basic situation. In the past, Shadow Company The rules for each job are actually quite arbitrary, and sometimes it's even done by Shepard at the drop of a hat.
Helen, on the other hand, immediately and aggressively eliminated certain projects that had no meaning at all and were just a waste of money, such as Shepard's camp greening project and fountain facility construction. These two were not completely meaningless. But the priority should be at the lowest.
In addition, Shepard's Angola aid plan was also criticized by Helen as useless.
"So, you don't have a long-term and detailed plan at all?"
"Why not? I will send you twenty guns every month. Isn't this a long-term goal?"
"Then you haven't considered the supply issue at the source. Now the National Defense Force's reserves can still be consumed. What if something goes wrong over there?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"The amount of aid will be cut in half, and excess guns will be prioritized for storage. You can't just use one company. You have to consider the issue of tracing the source in case of an emergency. Therefore, you also need to find new supply channels!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"I think the next door is great!"
