Chapter 30 Banquet (1)
On the same day, as soon as Tom, Bai Jie and their group stepped off the spacecraft, they were taken directly to the Intelligence Bureau's office building by a special car sent by Smith.
In Smith's office, Bai Jie briefly reported the action to Smith orally.
Smith looked very happy today. He smiled and said: "The superiors are very satisfied with your performance this time! I have applied for a commendation for your second action department!"
Seeing Tom sitting in a wheelchair on one side with his lips curled up and his eyes glancing around, Smith walked up to him and asked, "Are you that Tom Wang?"
Tom hummed.
Bai Jie smiled and said: "Yes! Thanks to his help this time, otherwise we wouldn't have been so smooth!"
"Oh?" Smith held his chin and looked at Tom with interest.
Bai Jie added: "Although this guy is a rebel of the Gloria guerrillas, he doesn't seem to be completely useless to us now. Director, can you apply for an amnesty order for him and give him a chance to abandon the dark side and join the bright side?"
Just let him stay in our second department to assist me?"
Smith paced back and forth in the office and said: "This morning, the President and Congress have declared war on the Vilia Empire! Of course our federal government needs talents at this time, all kinds of talents!"
With that said, he walked up to Tom and said with a sinister smile: "I can help you apply for a pardon, but you have to promise to leave the resistance organization immediately, leave the Gloria guerrillas, and swear allegiance to the federal government! You can do it!
Got it?"
Tom looked at the well-dressed, sinister-looking middle-aged man in front of him, grinned, and quickly replied: "As long as I can survive, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
The reason why the fat man agreed so readily was because on the spaceship to the capital planet, Annie secretly conveyed to him the latest instructions from the head of the guerrilla team. The team asked the two of them to take this opportunity to stay in the Intelligence Agency temporarily and work as two nails.
The value of finding a way into the puppet government's interior and looking for opportunities to deliver useful information to the guerrillas is much greater than the two of them escaping back.
Anne also said that the guerrillas had approved the two of them to set up an intelligence team, with Anne as the team leader, mainly responsible for liaison with the team, and Tom as a team member, mainly responsible for collecting various types of intelligence.
Tom sneered at this arrangement of the team and secretly wondered if the person in charge of the team drank too much when he gave this order? Isn't it nonsense to let this female devil who knows nothing lead me?
"Haha! Very good!" Smith didn't know what Tom was thinking. Seeing the fat man in front of him going on the road, he laughed and said: "I hope you can put aside your past grudges and serve the Federation well! But if you continue to be evil in the future,
, there is no need to wait for the court to judge, our Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Military Commission can execute you immediately!"
After hearing this, Tom finally felt reassured and raised his hand to salute Smith: "Thank you, sir, for your cultivation!"
Smith waved his hand and said with a smile: "There's no need to salute, you're not a soldier. Besides, you don't have the official establishment of our intelligence bureau yet. We'll take your time depending on your performance in the future."
With that said, Smith continued: "I have prepared a celebration dinner for you. Let's go there together after get off work!"
Bai Jie smiled and agreed. But she suddenly remembered something, pointed at Tom, and said to Smith awkwardly: "He is still a wanted prisoner by the federal government. I'm afraid he is not suitable to appear in public, right?"
"It doesn't matter, let him go too! I'll find someone to put makeup on him later!" Smith said and picked up the phone.
In the evening, Smith, Bai Jie and others took several cars and arrived at the Grand Regal Hotel near the most prosperous central square in Capital City.
In the hotel's luxurious banquet hall, the lights are bright and singing and dancing are happening! From lighting to decoration to atmosphere, everything reflects luxury and magnificence. Under the huge crystal chandelier, the large dining table is already filled with sumptuous dishes.
Dishes and a variety of drinks and pastries were served. All the guests at the party were dressed in expensive dresses and dressed up!
Smith wore a pure white cashmere suit tonight. As soon as the car stopped, he jumped out of the car first, opened the car door for Bai Jie in a very gentlemanly manner, and then walked into the hotel lobby with her on his arm.
Annie pushed Tom's wheelchair behind them, and after entering, she found a table in the corner and sat down.
The banquet had just begun at this time, and the guests present were still gathered in front of the small table in the banquet hall, listening to Smith introduce the members of the Operations Section 2, while making nonsense about the current international situation. Of course, he could not say that tonight's dance was
To celebrate the Intelligence Agency's successful kidnapping of the crown prince of the Vilia Empire.
Tom kept stroking the fake beard stuck to his lips with one hand, and with the other hand he was grabbing the chicken legs and steaks that Annie brought over and munching on them, and kept urging her to get the wine quickly.
While Annie was working as a free waiter for Tom with disgust, she stared at the men and women starting to dance on the gorgeous dance floor with flashing lights, her eyes filled with envy.
After finishing his brief speech, Smith took Bai Jie and sat down at a small table by the window, where the charming night view of Capital Star could be seen.
After Smith poured Bai Jie a glass of red wine with his own hands, he smiled and said, "Is it hard to go to Basset Star this time?"
Bai Jie took a sip of wine and said sweetly: "It's not bad."
Smith leaned back in his chair, looked at Tom and Annie who were noisy over drinking and eating meat, and said, "Do you think these two people can be used?"
Bai Jie put down her wine glass and sighed: "To be honest, after these few days of observation, I found that some things, especially some things that cannot be brought to the table, are indeed easier to handle according to this fat man's routine than our previous work process.
It’s a lot more convenient.”
"Haha! This is why I agreed to keep him in your second department." Smith took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said: "Today, the president defied all opinions and was just sworn in as the wartime president. All the forces in the country have
The response was huge, with many different voices.”
"If we suppress these voices one by one, there will be many things that cannot be brought to the table, right?" Bai Jie played with the red wine glass in her hand and looked at Smith leisurely.
Smith smiled and said: "Yes! Those who dare to stand against the president and speak out at this time are either those political bigwigs with strong foundations in Congress or the wealthy businessmen with a high reputation in the country. If we still use conventional methods, I am afraid it will be very difficult in the future.
work."
"So you just want to use him to deal with these people?" Bai Jie looked at Smith and began to understand what he meant.
"It's not just him!" Smith shook the red wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "The Military Commission will recruit a large number of people similar to this Tom recently. They will not be formally established, and they will not represent any department of the government. As for
How much they can accomplish and how long they can live depends entirely on themselves."
Looking at Tom and Annie over there, Bai Jie sighed.
Smith looked at Bai Jie and said with a sinister smile: "You should understand that in our industry, whether we hire people or do things, we only look at the results, not the means."
"Yeah." Bai Jie just lowered her head and drank.
Seeing that Bai Jie seemed to be worried, Smith paused and said softly: "I heard that the Federation's fourth space aircraft carrier mixed fleet in Ophiuchus is about to leave for Scorpio, and may soon join the blood wolf of the Vilia Empire.
Legion begins war. If I remember correctly, it seems that your husband is serving in the Fourth Fleet, right?"
Bai Jie frowned and said coldly: "When you are with me, I don't want you to mention him!"
"Oh! Okay! Don't mention it, don't mention it!" Smith stood up quickly, extended his hand to Bai Jie in a gentlemanly manner, and said softly: "Shall we go dancing?"
Bai Jie put her hand on Smith's palm, and the two of them left their seats and walked to the dance floor.
Over there, Tom was quarreling with Anne over a plate of conch meat.
"Holy shit, aunt! You can't eat French escargot with your hands! You have to use tongs and a fork! Can you eat more gracefully?"
"Who are you calling auntie? Your mother is the auntie! How do you eat snails with a fork? We eat them like this in our hometown!" Annie held a snail in her hand and was sucking the snail meat inside.
The sound of children.
Tom looked at Annie's eating face and shook his head with a wry smile. He poured a mouthful of asparagus soup into his mouth and said, "Don't say you know me when you go out to eat in the future."
"Bang!" Annie threw a snail shell on Tom's head and shouted: "Who wants to go out to dinner with you!"
"If you mess with me again, I'll fall out!" Tom also got angry.
Annie stood up suddenly, picked up the knife and fork on the table, and said angrily: "Can you turn one over and show it to me?"
"Auntie, oh no! Sister, that's not right! Beauty, I was wrong!" Seeing that Annie was really angry, Tom, who had suffered a loss, quickly admitted his mistake.
"Then how should we eat this snail?" Annie was still reluctant.
"You should chew it up and eat it!" Tom quickly apologized.
"Then chew one for me and see?" Annie hugged her arms and still refused to let Tom go.
Tom quickly changed the subject. From a distance, he saw someone over there starting to set up the card table, so he said flirtatiously, "How about I take you to win some money first?"
