Chapter 486 Philip’s identity, the small goal set by Luo An
Sunday, evening, a small hotel.
Philip, who had a Mediterranean hairstyle, stretched out his hand to Luo An with a smile on his face. Luo An shook his hand and said with a smile:
“Hello, just call me Luo An. This is the first time I’ve met someone who actively calls themselves cia.”
The reputation of the CIA is not much better within the federal government.
Hearing Luo An’s words, Philip chuckled and was about to answer. The young girl beside him, Adriana, took the lead and asked with curiosity:
“Luo An, Uncle Philip calls you the team leader. Which department are you the team leader?”
Luo An smiled and did not answer the other party's questions. Philip showed a hint of apology to Luo An, then snatched the wine glass from Adriana's hand and said with a straight face:
“Stop making trouble, Adrianna, Group Leader Luo An and I need to discuss something. You can go and play with your classmates.”
The wine glass was snatched away, and Adriana rolled her eyes at Phillip. Then she took out a golden business card from nowhere, stuffed it into Luo An's suit pocket, and said with a smile:
“Leader Luo An, this is my business card and contact information. You are very handsome. I will definitely come back to you.
Also, I will turn 18 in a month, and I will have the final say on my boyfriend from now on. "
After saying that, Adriana turned around, looked at Philip wrinkled his nose and snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving the two of them with a beautiful back.
…”
Taking the golden business card out of his pocket, Luo An looked at it and put it aside, then asked with a smile:
“Could you please introduce this Ms. Adrianna?”
Luo An naturally has no interest in Adrianna, but this kind of young people in the rebellious stage are generally difficult to deal with. The girl herself is not important, her parents are the targets that Luo An needs to pay attention to.
“Adeanna’s father is the assistant director of the IRS, and her mother works at a Hollywood film company.”
Philip briefly introduced the identity of Ediana's parents and said that he didn't need to worry about it. Ediana was just a little spoiled. If he saw her pestering her in the future, he could just call her parents directly.
Luo An smiled when he heard this, clinked wine glasses with Phillip, and changed the topic from this girl to other aspects.
“Leader Luo An, I heard your name a long time ago at the FBI headquarters in Washington.”
Philipp and Luo An walked to the sofa in the corner of the banquet, sat down together, and said with a smile:
“The 25-year-old leader of the special investigation team is really a powerful young man.”
“That was last year.”
Luo An put down the wine glass, picked up the grapes on the table, ate one, and said with a smile:
“I am 26 years old this year. I am already old.”
…”
Hearing Luo An, who was less than thirty years old, say that he was old, Philip, who was about to turn fifty, suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and his head was covered with black lines.
Luo An continued to eat the fruit leisurely, pretending not to notice the expression on the other person's face.
Luo An didn't know what he wanted to do with this inexplicable contact with Philip in front of him. Since the other party kept going around in circles, Luo An was not in a hurry. Luo An liked to do this kind of nonsense all over the world.
After a while, Luo An talked about the signs of life activity deep in the Mariana Trench from the smell of various fruits on the table. Philip, whose eyelids were twitching, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He coughed lightly and asked:
“Leader Luo An, how do you feel about the work of the CIA?”
“Feeling average.”
Hearing this question, Luo An's eyes flashed with light, then he shook his head and replied:
“I have seen the work of the CIA overseas. It is too dangerous and far less safe than within the federal territory... although the federal territory is not particularly safe.”
Luo An glanced at Philip calmly. Could this guy be trying to recruit him to the CIA and then let him work overseas?
“You’re right, the CIA’s overseas work is too dangerous.”
What Roan didn’t expect was that Philip didn’t deny what he said, but nodded with an expression of “It’s true” on his face, and then suddenly said:
“However, there are also some jobs in government departments outside the federal government that are not as dangerous as the CIA.”
Luo An didn’t answer and continued to taste the fruits on the table.
Elmer really paid enough attention to his eldest daughter's coming-of-age ceremony today. Not only were all the fruits on the table fresh enough, but they were also rich in variety, many of which Luo An had never seen before.
…”
Seeing that Luo An didn't answer his words, Phillip almost couldn't breathe, and he forgot all about the draft he had prepared in his stomach.
With his eyelids twitching and taking a deep breath, Philip finally stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:
“Leader Luo An, are you interested in the work of the federal embassy in other countries?”
Luo An raised his eyebrows, turned around and asked in surprise:
“Mr. Philip, don’t you work in the CIA?”
Philip picked up the wine glass and took a sip, saying that the CIA was only one of his jobs, and he also worked at the DIA.
DIA, the Federal Defense Intelligence Agency, is the main foreign military intelligence organization under the federal Ministry of Defense. It is the superior management agency of the federal defense attaché system. It is mainly responsible for dispatching foreign military attachés, federal embassies and consulates in other countries, and other work.
Luo An suddenly realized that it seemed that the CIA was most likely a cover given to him by Philip, and he was actually working for the DIA. The federal government has a total of 18 intelligence agencies including the FBI, CIA, NSA (National Security Agency), DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency), ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence), etc.
When going out to perform missions, you use my skin, and I use your skin, layer by layer, so that other departments take the blame and get scolded. This kind of thing is not new in the Federation.
Luo An touched his chin and said:
“I’ve never seen the work of an embassy before.”
Philip's eyes lit up when he heard this, and just as he was about to continue speaking, Luo An smiled and shook his head, pointed at the host who started to speak on stage not far away, and said:
“Mr. Philip, the coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun, and it’s time to give gifts.”
The idea of going to other countries to fight for the Federation through life and death has never entered Luo An's mind.
Solve crimes, send some murderers to prison, earn some money on the way, and enjoy the boring and decadent capitalist life in the Federation. Having more money and less things to do and being close to home is what Luo An likes most in his life.
After understanding the other person's thoughts, Luo An continued to chat with him briefly, and then stood up and left under Philip's helpless eyes.
After giving the prepared gift to Elmer’s eldest daughter, and sitting with Mona to taste the food, Luo An frowned slightly, and a lot of thoughts flashed through his mind.
As his performance gets better and better and his status gets higher and higher, he will definitely attract more people's attention in the future. Philip will definitely not be the last person to issue a solicitation.
The people who appear now have average status and abilities, so Luo An doesn't care.
But if a tough-minded person with the same or even higher status than Mr. Clement appears in the future and this person wants to recruit Luo An, Luo An really has no suitable way to refuse.
Even worse, think about whether someone will take advantage of your weakness and force you to do things for him.
This kind of thing is not impossible to happen in the Federation.
Suddenly, Luo An felt Mona bumping him lightly. He turned his head and found Mona asking with confusion on her face:
“Luo An, what are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking of a line from a movie.”
“What line?”
“People must rely on themselves.”
Facing the confused Mona, Luo An narrowed his eyes and grinned.
The Federation is a capitalist country, where money = power = status.
The formula is not rigorous, but the principle behind it is similar.
Luo An swallowed the food in his mouth, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he silently set a small goal for himself:
Earned US$2 billion before the financial crisis.
When the financial crisis officially breaks out, use these 2 billion to make 10 billion!
The coming-of-age ceremony dinner was over. Luo An exchanged a few words with Elmer’s family and turned to leave. Halfway through, Mona in the passenger seat suddenly asked:
“Luo An, what’s going on with that girl?”
Luo An, who was driving, yawned:
“She thinks I’m handsome and wants to be my girlfriend.”
"Yeah?"
Mona narrowed her eyes slightly, stretched out her hand and grabbed Luo An's thigh:
“Then how did you answer?”
“I’ve thrown away my business card, how can I answer this?”
Luo An’s expression suddenly changed and he said seriously:
“Mona, I’m driving.”
“You do your thing, I do mine, don’t disturb each other.”
“…Fu-k!”
Luo An's eyelids twitched and he quickly drove the car into a dark alley.
Luo An had seen similar cases in the FBI files before, and he didn't want a car to crash and kill anyone.
Mona raised her head with doubts on her face:
“Why did the car stop?”
“What do you think?”
Luo An grinned and turned off the car. This car was difficult to drive. He wanted to drive in another car!
