The white clouds in the distance drifted on the mountainside, and the dark green fields stretched as far as the eye could see. The precision irrigation equipment of the Federal Automated Farm was spraying morning dew in the sun, and a faint sizzling sound was heard from time to time, which matched with the chirping of insects in the woodland beside the road. extremely tacit.
The traffic in the Capital Territory is extremely developed. It took 40 minutes to drive along the expressway to get here. The solemn buildings in the capital have long been invisible, and the smell of power is full of power. With a green eye, I can only smell the wonderful taste of the juice after the green rod is interrupted.
Right next to the Federal Farm, high walls and iron nets have divided a large area. From the road, only a five-story building can be seen in the courtyard. Other than that, there is nothing conspicuous. building.
The glass of the black car fell, Xu Le showed the electronic letter of introduction to the guard, only to hear a beep, and the door slowly opened. He squinted at everything in the car Zhou, a little surprised in his heart. The largest Whitewater security company in the Federation is actually far away from the capital’s effective area, and it looks quiet with a hint of decay. It doesn’t look like a company famous for experimenting with the Federation’s high-end weapons, but it looks like a forgotten farmhouse. amusement park.
Where there is metal, there is Nutshell. Nutshell Motor Company is a giant company in the Federation. The number of people directly or indirectly serving it exceeds one million. This company has numerous branches, and its business scope involves the Federation. In all aspects of social life, Baishui Security Company is one of them. Because of the turmoil in the research institute, Xu Le was assigned to Baishui Security Company. Before he came here, he did some information inquiries and knew that the largest security company in the Federation, although it was not within the Nutshell Motor Company. It is valued, but in terms of strength, it is the most powerful within the three major federal security companies.
The Federation has a lot of military operations in the universe. Because of the diplomatic pressure from the empire and the Hundred Curtain Triangle Star Region, it is inconvenient to dispatch troops, and there are some firepower frictions on the resource planet, or private actions that cannot be seen. , are often executed by the three major federal security companies instead of the federal military, and Baishui, which is directly under the fruit shell mobile company, has become the most important executor because of the strong federal military color of the fruit shell.
Of course, these are all things that cannot be seen in the news media, but those who know the inside story are very clear that the Whitewater Security Company is actually a group of mercenaries in legal clothes, or a federation in the clothes of mercenaries. thugs. Except for some security work within the Federation, most of the company's business scope is actually in the border areas of the Federation. There are even rumors that after the exchange of fire between the S2 region and the anti-government forces stopped, those who secretly carried out small armed raids The power of this company is also secretly shot.
So Xu Le was a little surprised when he looked at the base that looked like a simple factory. From the outside, the headquarters of Baishui Security Company does not have a hint of military color at all.
After reporting to the personnel department, a bespectacled affairs officer led Xu Le indifferently to an office at the back of the building, and said to him, "This is your office, your secretary will come over to him later. Tell me about your specific work."
What happened at the upper levels of the Capital Territory was not reported to the White Water Security Company. People in the headquarters would not care about the arrival of a young second lieutenant. The affairs officer in the personnel department would not think that Xu Le had any background. In his opinion , who was sent to Whitewater from the Nutshell Research Institute, must be the loser of the struggle, and the failure was extremely complete.
It's just that the research institute is the first-order department of the Nutshell Mobile Company after all, and the Baishui Security Company is only a third-level department. Xu Le has such a resume. Although he was exiled here, he was still assigned the position of technical director, and also With a secretary.
The affairs officer looked at Xu Le blankly and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The quality of the fighters of Baishui Company is excellent, and the base is also very complete. Even many fighters themselves are still military personnel. These fighters on the front line are well-paid and have a promising future, but the affairs officers and technical directors are all pitiful. of people pushed out of the core area of Nutshell.
The same was true for the affairs officer, but he looked at Xu Le, who was also a loser, without the slightest sympathy.
"No, thank you." Xu Le said.
Turning on the computer screen and squinting at the organizational structure of Baishui Company above, Xu Le fell silent for a while. Whitewater was founded twenty-four years ago. The current president, Gareth, was the commander of the federal special mecha unit before retiring. According to rumors, after his term at Whitewater expires, he may return directly to the Department of Defense. Chief of Warfare.
The structure of this company is very wonderful. Big figures like the president and training director, as well as the grass-roots fighters, have a very bright future, but the role played by Xu Le at this time, the technical director and the affairs officials, seem to only be Can stay in the shadow of the federation forever and perform those dark tasks for the just federal government without getting any military medals and awards.
But this has nothing to do with Xu Le. He was assigned to Baishui Company because of the consequences of his axe in the experiment. In order to calm the dissatisfaction of the directors and the fluctuations in the research institute, even the Tai family only can do this.
Xu Le never thought that he would go to the border resource planet for the government to suppress the indigenous people, and he never thought that he would disguise himself as a militant and go to the S2 region to destroy the resource base of the anti-government army. He only needs to be honest in this department. Sit down in the position of the technical director, repair some mechanical equipment needed by the fighters, and spend this time peacefully.
Until the new generation of MX-type mecha of the Federation is successfully developed, it seems that he must spend his life in this company. Thinking of this, Xu Le's eyes narrowed and looked at his office.
This is the first time in his life that he has an independent office that will not be disturbed. The problem is that although this office is extremely luxuriously decorated, it is empty and nothing but a computer and some furniture.
"The company has five subsidiaries: training center, shooting range, weapon experiment department, space guard, and security consultant. Customers include the Ministry of Defense, the General Police Department, and the HTD Bureau. We also accept the commission of the outer galaxy customers, as long as the commission does not Contrary to federal law, this seventh group is primarily engaged in security consulting…”
Xu Le lowered his head and listened to the secretary's report. To be honest, when he first heard that there was a secretary, a strange emotion arose in the young man's heart, and he secretly prayed that the company's secretary would not be a lifeless middle-aged woman.
When the secretary named Bai Yulan walked into the office and started to introduce the situation of Baishui Company according to the script, Xu Le couldn't help sighing softly.
It's a bit vulgar for a female secretary to take this name, but the wonderful thing is that this secretary is not a middle-aged woman, but she is not a young and attractive girl who has just graduated.
Because the person who came in was not a female secretary at all.
The secretary, Magnolia, is 1.73 meters tall, with gentle facial features and smooth eyes. She stands quietly in front of Xu Le like a girl, but the problem is that he is not a woman, so this kind of breath It seems a little weird.
Xu Le squinted at him, and even caught a hint of danger from this strange aura.
Xu Le's ability to know people is very strong. He has a keen intuition like an animal. If it weren't for the white secretary standing in front of him like a quiet flower girl, and he didn't show hostility, maybe he would feel the cold hair on the back of his neck. Stand up.
Only a character who has killed a lot of people and doesn't take human life seriously will show this kind of breath. In the past years, Xu Le has met many powerful people, such as Captain Tian Fatzi, such as Li Lunzi, such as the brother Zeng next to the Seventh Young Master of the Li family, and the secretary named Bai Yulan in front of him, but with these people The difference is that he is very restrained, but it always makes people feel that he will go crazy in the next moment, and the calm and supple expression on his face will turn into a bone-biting chill in an instant.
When Xu Le looked at Secretary Bai, Secretary Bai's eyes were looking at the brochure in his hand. He was calm in his heart, so his appearance was calm, although for a young second lieutenant assigned by a research institute, he had to become the technical director of his group. , he is not welcome, but he will not show the slightest, just doing what he should do with calmness and indifference.
Having served in the army for many years, Magnolia was used to seeing death and blood, and she did not see this young and ordinary guy in front of her at all.
"What is the work of our group?" Xu Le noticed that Secretary Bai's hands were as white as jade and very delicate.
"Report to the technical director, the seventh team does not have any work arrangements this year." Secretary Bai replied politely.
Xu Le is a little uncomfortable with the title of technical director. Baishui Company is a subsidiary of Nutshell Motor Company. In addition to performing those dangerous tasks, the most important job content is to cooperate with the Federation to experiment with those new types of weapons and equipment, so in Baishui Within the company, the technical director has more power than other security companies.
Xu Le was the technical director of the seventh team, so this delicate white Magnolia became his secretary. Since the main business of the seventh team is security consultants, then they will definitely not be stationed on the border planet, but... there is no chance to get in touch with those few failed MX prototype mechas, and his heart is slightly disappointed.
Halfway through the sixty-seventh year of the constitutional calendar, the seventh team of the Whitewater Company's Security Advisory Department still did not perform any tasks. Xu Le felt a little strange. Although the Federation has always been in good order, those rich and powerful people have always attached great importance to their own security. , With the reputation of Whitewater Company in the industry, it is unlikely that his group has no business for a whole year.
He looked at Magnolia's delicate hands and was a little lost.
