"Oh~ woo~"

"Oh~ woo~"

"Oh~ woo~"

……

Late night, W Block.

The piercing fire siren woke up many people from their sweet dreams.

In front of Villa No. 76, four fire trucks from the Los Angeles Fire Department were parked neatly on the roadside. However, what was a little strange was that there was clearly a fire in front of the sky, and the fierce flames turned the night sky orange, but the fire trucks The firefighters in front of the house did not aim the nozzles in their hands at Villa No. 76, but kept spraying water around the villa to prevent the fire from expanding further.

About a few hundred meters away from Villa No. 76, Danny Grant was sitting in a black Lincoln limousine. In front of him was Deputy Chief Benjamin Martin of the Los Angeles Fire Department, who was wearing a duty uniform and looked like he was Full sense of justice.

"Chief Benjamin, it's really hard to be on duty late at night."

Danny Grant casually took out a bottle of Glenfarclas 50-year-old collection worth tens of thousands of dollars from the car refrigerator next to him, then took out two foreign wine glasses and gestured to Benjamin Martin: "Long Night. It’s a long day, nothing to do, I wonder if Director Benjamin would be interested in having a drink with me, an old man?”

"Mr. Danny, it's my honor to have a drink with you."

Although it was a fire alarm, Benjamin Martin agreed to Danny Grant's invitation without even thinking about it, because he knew very well who the other party was. In normal times, he wouldn't say anything Even if you are drinking with the other person, even if you want to ask to see the other person, it will be even more difficult.

If he could be on this list, he would be on his way to success.

of course……

Benjamin Martin also understood that when things go wrong, there must be a monster.

Risks and returns always coexist.

It was clear that Villa No. 76 was in flames, but the other party asked him not to carry out rescue fire extinguishing of Villa No. 76 before it burned to the point of collapse. He was only allowed to carry out protective fire extinguishing on the periphery to prevent the fire from expanding further.

Obviously, there are some things in Villa No. 76 that are not visible to the light. The other party is using fire to destroy it. It is even possible that the other party sent people to set the fire.

Now that he has agreed to the other party's request, it means that he is tied to the other party on this matter. If one day this matter breaks out, then he will have to bear the responsibility of being involved. But if the matter goes away, Then he will definitely get the benefits from the other party, whether it is money or status, it will be enough for him to return home with a full load.

In fact, the other party seemed to give him a choice, but did he really have the right to refuse? If he chooses to refuse, he may be called back urgently by the other party's call, and then someone else will execute the fire alarm. At the expense of the other party, when he goes to work tomorrow, it is very likely that he will step into the office with his left foot first. thereby being removed from office.

The amber liquid slowly flowed down the wall of the glass. Benjamin Martin's thoughts were spinning. He was about to reach out to pick up the glass, but Danny Grant raised his hand to stop him.

"How can you drink foreign wine without having ice hockey?"

Danny Grant smiled, then turned around and took out two ice ball molds from the freezer layer of the car refrigerator. After he opened the ice ball molds, he placed the two crystal clear ice balls into the wine glass.

When everything was ready, Danny Grant picked up the wine glass with a smile. When Benjamin Martin saw this, he quickly picked up the wine glass in front of him with both hands, took the initiative to lower the rim of the wine glass to the lowest level, and gently touched it with the other party. The whole person looked a little flattered. The cold wine entered his throat. This was the first time Benjamin Martin tasted such expensive foreign wine. He did not dare to show any expression or make any comments, for fear of making others laugh because of his shallow knowledge.

"Director Benjamin, how old are you this year?"

Danny Grant took a sip of his wine, looked at Benjamin Martin, and asked with a smile.

Benjamin Martin heard this and responded truthfully: "Mr. Danny, I just celebrated my birthday two weeks ago and I am 45 years old this year."

"45 is really a good age." Danny Grant sighed with emotion: "I have known Director Frank for a long time. Is he 65 years old this year? Is he going to retire next year?"

"Yes."

"Director Frank, his health has not been very good in recent years, and he is currently preparing to file for retirement."

Frank Moniz, the Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department, is Benjamin Martin’s direct boss. Danny Grant is not surprised to know Chief Frank. Now that he hears the other party suddenly mention this matter, his heart The heart beat for no reason.

"Fires are ruthless. The fire department is responsible for the safety of all Los Angeles citizens. Chief Frank is indeed a good chief, but it is a pity that he is too old. As a good citizen of Los Angeles, if I were asked to choose a new fire department chief, I think there is We need to find someone who is young and capable to protect the property safety of the city’s citizens.”

When Danny Grant said this, he picked up the wine glass with a slight smile in his eyes: "Director Benjamin, I think you are a good fit. Are you interested in this position of director?"

"Mr. Danny, I'm interested, of course I'm interested."

At this moment, if Benjamin Martin still didn't understand what the other party meant, then he would be a little too stupid. He couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and then said: "But I am only 45 years old, and the deputy director of the same level as me is Director, each of them is older and more senior than me, can I compete with them?"

"Director Benjamin, your ability to become deputy director at such a young age is obvious to all. If the competition for director does not depend on ability, but only on who is older and who has more seniority, then with my Given my age, if I run for president of the United States, wouldn’t I be sure to win?”

Danny Grant raised his wine glass and said with a smile.

"Mr. Danny, with your reputation, if you run for president of the United States, I feel you have a real chance of succeeding."

Benjamin Martin smiled and complimented.

Danny Grant waved his hand: "I'm half buried in the earth. Now I just want to guard our Victor Foundation. I don't want to think about anything else. The friends of the Victor Foundation are my friends, the Victor Foundation." The enemy who knows is my enemy. I think Director Benjamin has a bright future. I wonder if Director Benjamin is willing to be a friend or an enemy of our Victor Foundation?"

"Mr. Danny, I am willing to be the Victor Foundation's most loyal friend!"

Benjamin Martin knew that the time had come to decide his future destiny. He picked up the wine glass with both hands, then lowered his head deeply and said respectfully.

Danny Grant smiled happily. He looked through the car window at Villa No. 76, where the fire had engulfed the roof and the entire house was crumbling. Then he picked up the wine glass and said to Benjamin Martin: "Drink this. After a glass of wine, Director Benjamin will ask the people below to get ready to put out the fire."

"it is good!"

Benjamin Martin responded respectfully.
