"Annie, what are your plans for the afternoon?"
"go home."
After munching two burgers in the office, Li Zitao finished all his official duties.
In fact, most of the time it’s just listening to senior management’s presentations.
And complaints!
Li Zitao only has a limited number of hours to work in a year, and problems accumulated during this period.
Conflicts or troubles that senior management believes only he can mediate become topics of conversation.
6 hours from the end of the meeting to now.
He met with 14 CEOs from different companies, the administrative director, the director of personnel, the director of the security office of the Ministry of Supervision, the deputy minister of SHIELD, the news director...
All questions are answered, except for those who are too stupid.
Sometimes Li Zitao will ask himself, how can people be so stupid!
Fortunately, it’s over now!
"Go to the apartment."
The children were not at home, and it would take at least half a month for Mary to come back. He didn't want to go back and guard the empty room alone.
Sitting in the car, Li Zitao thought of the meeting before leaving, 'I wonder if Jiaxin got the job she wanted? ’
Although the answer is obvious, exceptions cannot be ruled out.
"Are they here?"
Downstairs in the apartment, a Ford V8 was parked in the parking space, but Li Zitao was not sure whether the two sisters were there.
Because in most cases, they still choose the subway to travel during the day.
"There are flowers on the windowsill. I think they are at home."
Anne remembered that they would only put the flowers out when they were at home.
When I go out, I put the flowers back and close the window.
Although Los Angeles doesn’t get a lot of rainfall, the ocean breeze can still mess things up from time to time.
Especially for delicate flowers…
After inserting the key into the door lock, Li Zitao tried to push the door open and found that the safety bolt inside was plugged in.
"Who is it?" Tong Jiaxin's nervous voice came.
"It's me, Li Tao!" Li Zitao closed the door dumbfounded.
"Wait." Tong Jiaxin opened the door a crack, but he didn't see anyone.
After a long while, a strand of hair fell from behind the door, revealing the nervous eyes raised up.
Really only the corner of her eye, she was looking at the door with her peripheral vision!
"Ah~ it's really you." After discovering that it was really Li Zitao, Tong Jiaxin closed the door as quickly as possible.
Then I heard the "Thunderbolt Bing Pong" sound inside.
About 10 seconds later, the door was opened again.
"Sorry, I thought it was a stranger." Tong Jiaxin said with a smile on her face, while Tong Jiayao was returning the pan in her hand to the kitchen.
"What happened? Did someone break in?"
Judging from the nervous look on the two of them, it was obvious that something had happened and they were frightened.
"Three days ago, homeless people broke in and two workers were injured and sent to the hospital!" Tong Jiaxin said brightly.
"There are people injured?"
Li Zitao came to the window and shouted to Wang Kui, who was about to 'leave': "Wang Kui, come up."
"Don't worry, I will take care of it!"
Li Zitao opened the door and planned to discuss the matter with Wang Kui in the corridor.
The Tong sisters looked too nervous.
It is better to selectively relay it to them after understanding the situation.
"Boss." Wang Kui climbed up the stairs three steps at a time.
"I heard a homeless man broke in again?"
Wang Kui raised his head and glanced at the door behind him, and with just one movement he let Li Zitao know that this was not a simple vagrant.
"Let's talk upstairs."
After coming to the room upstairs and closing the door, Wang Kui talked about what happened.
It wasn’t a homeless man who showed up that day, but two police officers.
While patrolling, they encountered a white-face dealer, and the two sides exchanged gunfire, and then they were chased by drug dealers.
They fled all the way to the apartment, where the drug dealer retreated when police backup arrived.
It's a pity that both of them died due to their injuries!
The Tong sisters saw the two injured employees being carried out.
’ It was actually the bodies of two police officers who died.
"So, it's just an accident!" Li Zitao asked calmly.
Although it was a drug dealer again, another shooting by police and robbers, and two police officers died.
But this kind of thing happened all the time, and all he could say about it was, "What a pity," without even a hint of surprise.
"Yes, it was just an accident. Do you need to increase the security here?"
There is security only when Li Zitao is here, and the apartment itself is not on the 'protection and prevention' list.
Li Zitao is thinking that if Patrick pays attention to the apartment, it will also attract the attention of others.
He didn't want Bruce's identity to be exposed, nor did he want the Tong sisters to be involved in complicated incidents.
At the same time, he was also very sure that the two sisters would not want to be involved.
"By the way, is Stephen Mogg's special operations team still there?" Li Zitao suddenly thought of this big shot in the police world.
"He's still there, he's still the team leader." Wang Kui responded decisively.
If Li Zitao asked about other things, he would definitely not know.
But Stephen Mogg's special operations team...
He's too familiar.
After all, they often need to deal with the police.
For example, when a valid reason is needed.
Or after shooting in defense, you must report to the police station and file a record.
Stephen's special operations team has helped them solve a lot of troubles!
"What do you think about letting him send a group of people to strengthen patrols nearby?"
As long as the criminals notice that the police will strengthen the police force in this area.
Whatever they do, they will avoid this place, and the trouble will be solved naturally.
Although shootings occur every day, the security situation in this area is not bad.
He didn't think this would happen very often!
"I'll talk to Stephen." Wang Kui thought it was feasible.
"That's it, let's go rest!" The two went downstairs together, and Li Zitao successfully opened the door this time.
"Dinner yet?"
"Eat, it's 9pm now."
"What else is there to eat? I only ate two burgers all day."
Li Zitao was really hungry, not trying to start a kitchen war.
"How about roasted beef brisket and noodles?" Tong Jiayao asked as she opened the refrigerator.
I bought the beef brisket in Chinatown yesterday and can eat it hot.
The noodles are wrapped in plastic and can be eaten as soon as the water is hot.
"Okay, add another fried egg." Tong Jiayao was busy in the kitchen.
His sister Jiaxin sat at the dining table and chatted with him, "I got an internship opportunity."
"Congratulations, wait." Li Zitao took out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen cabinet.
"We need to have a drink to celebrate."
"Just doing some paperwork, odd jobs...well, I do want to celebrate."
Tong Jiaxin said happily that this internship is very important to her.
The key is that it is what she wants, and it is one step closer to her goal.
Maybe she would do well enough to stay and work there after graduation.
Her dream is to become a reporter, preferably an international reporter, covering all kinds of cutting-edge news everywhere.
