Chapter 902
In early February,
Los Angeles,
The morning light pierced through the glass curtain wall of the "Wilshire Figueroa Building" in the city center, illuminating the conference room of the "Umbrella Properties Group" exceptionally brightly.
"The spring big recruitment is about to start..."
"Our group's expansion on the West Coast has slowed down, it's time to start expanding to the central region."
Chairman Li Fu gave the opening for the meeting.
In front of the long office table sat the senior management of the Umbrella Group: Vice Chairman Li Jie, Assistant Li Qiao, Assistant Billy (from "The Departed"), Kiki, Ji Shaoqun, Li Wanqiang, Brother Leopard...
And a group of company executives...
As a large property group covering tens of millions of people on the West Coast and having hundreds of thousands of employees, the core of this Umbrella Properties recruitment meeting had shifted from "filling basic position gaps" to "snatching high-level talent to support central expansion."
Human Resources President Billy's voice was steady: "Among our 148,000 employees on the West Coast, the grassroots and middle-level teams are already very solid, but to chew down the three central states of Texas, Kansas, and Colorado, what's missing is high-level talent who can 'set the plate'..."
"In the next three months, we must recruit at least 32 core positions—6 regional general managers, who must have experience in operating property clusters in cities with a population of over one million..."
As Billy spoke, he felt a sigh in his heart.
In 1993, he was arranged by his superior to go undercover at Umbrella Properties, wanting to find the illegal crimes of Umbrella Properties.
As a result, 11 years passed in a flash, no criminal evidence was found, and he instead became a group giant.
And next, he had to continue to expand to the central United States.
The Los Angeles outside the window was approaching noon, the sun shone on Billy's face, and Billy couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
Doing good deeds!
Doing big things!
Perfectly in line with his life wishes.
As for being undercover?
Heh.
An hour later,
The meeting ended.
Following Xiao Fu said to Billy: "For the next period of time, you will have to work hard."
Billy smiled: "Guarantee not to fail the trust!"
Following Xiao Fu patted Billy's shoulder.
Soon, Billy returned to his office.
Ling ling ling~~~
At this time, his mobile phone ringtone sounded.
"Hey~~"
He answered the phone indifferently.
"Billy!"
As soon as the voice came, Billy's face changed abruptly.
It was Kunnan, his superior.
Having stayed at Umbrella Properties for too long, he had already become accustomed to this identity, and Kunnan's phone call instantly pulled him back to his original identity————an undercover agent who couldn't see the light!
Kunnan: "I want to see you, big matter!"
Billy: "..."
Silenced.
Kunnan: "Of course, it's a very important matter."
Billy thought about it.
In the end, he still had to see him.
Actually, sometimes he wanted to confess to Brother Fu and Brother Jie, but he...
In short, he was hesitant.
"Alright, what location?"
"On the rooftop of the *** building..."
Kunnan said a location.
Another rooftop.
Then he hung up the phone quickly.
At this moment, he only felt that the sun suddenly became dazzling, making him a little breathless.
The next day,
Seven o'clock in the morning,
The sky in Los Angeles just turned pale.
The rooftop of a certain office building.
Ta ta ta~~~
A burst of footsteps, getting closer and closer.
Billy, wearing a dark grey suit, walked over.
"You're here?"
In the center of the rooftop, Kunnan stood with his back to him, his dark windbreaker blowing in the wind.
Hearing the footsteps, he slowly turned around, his eyes carrying scrutiny.
Billy: "Sir."
Kunnan glanced at Billy, then turned to look at the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance.
"Billy, how long have you been undercover at Umbrella Company?"
"11 years and 9 months..."
"11 years and 9 months, how many 11 years and 9 months are there in a life..."
Kunnan took a step forward, carrying temptation:
"I ask you, do you want a promotion?"
Billy was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, his tone firm: "No!"
"No?" Kunnan, upon hearing this, although he had some expectations, was still a little annoyed. "You've been in the police station for so long, you fought for your life to score 1400 on the police academy entrance exam, wasn't it because you wanted to be a policeman and move up? Now the opportunity is here—as long as you help me get the 'evidence' of Umbrella, I can have you transferred directly to the FBI as a senior agent, ten times better than mixing in the Los Angeles Police Department!"
Kunnan had been a leader in the police station for so long, naturally he had certain connections, and he heard that the higher-ups were going to deal with Umbrella Company.
Then he thought of Billy.
Now Billy was one of the giants of Umbrella Properties, mastering extraordinary resources.
Such an undercover agent had immeasurable value!
Thus,
He saw a ladder to rise!
He wanted to be the San Francisco Police Department Chief!
Or simply the Los Angeles Police Department Chief!
As a result, Billy was actually unwilling!
How could you be unwilling?
Billy looked at Kunnan coldly: "I know what a promotion means. I've been at Umbrella for 11 years, and my feelings for Umbrella, I won't betray it!"
"Betray?" Kunnan was angry: "Have you forgotten what you said when you took the oath at the police academy? You became a policeman for the police! You're telling me now you don't want to betray Umbrella Company? Have you forgotten the honor of being a policeman?"
Billy's voice was calm: "I haven't forgotten. I remember every word, and I also remember why I became a policeman in the first place—it was to fight real crime and protect good people."
