Chapter 136 The tough new director!
Hearing the new director asking him to call her Roy, Dai Lin, who was facing away from Colin, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the new director who was looking at him: "Director, do you want me to call you Roy?"

"Yes, isn't my English standard?" The newcomer looked at the former director's secretary who was standing at the door of the office with cold eyes.

"Yes, Chief, I'll go right away."

Dai Lin stepped back and when she crossed the door line, she gently closed the office door, turned around, covered her chest with her hands and took a deep breath. She was obviously frightened by the new director's cold look and voice.

This immediately reminded her of Gordon. When Gordon was in office, he had never been so mean to her. When she thought that she would go to logistics tomorrow, Dai Lin felt happy in her heart. This kind of superior was very difficult to serve.

However, when she remembered that the first person the ferocious new director wanted to meet in the office on his first day in office was Roy, she couldn't help but worry about Roy.

At the same time, she was also wondering why Roy was summoned first. There were many captains ahead of Roy, and there were also many vice-captains. Why...

With a head full of doubts, Dai Lin came to the office lobby and looked at Roy's workstation, but did not see Roy. He scanned the lobby and finally saw Roy's back in front of Jonathan's workstation.

At this moment, Roy was chatting with Jonathan, and there were many members of Team B around him, including the captain Richard.

"Roy, the new director doesn't look friendly. I haven't seen him smile since I saw him. That cold expression gives me the feeling that he will be very difficult to get along with." Mia said.

"Mia is right. When Gordon is around, he always has a smile on his face. He makes people feel close and friendly, and he doesn't seem to be arrogant. I suddenly miss Gordon a little bit, and I don't know how he is doing now." Richard said from the side.

Roy was listening to everyone talking about the new director and didn't interrupt.

Jonathan said, "Generally speaking, in my experience, the first thing a new director does when he takes office is to make personnel adjustments. I, the captain of Team C, have been away for some time and just took charge of Team C's work today. When the new director arrives, I feel like I will be the first person to be moved."

Roy patted Jonathan on the shoulder: "And me."

The two smiled at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Just then, Mia saw Dai Lin walking towards them, so she used her eyes to remind Roy.

Roy turned around and saw Dai Lin walking towards him.

Jonathan and Richard turned their eyes to Dai Lin at the same time.

Coming in front of Roy, Dai Lin said:
"Roy, Chief Colin is calling you."

"Call me?" Roy looked surprised and pointed at himself, then turned to look at Jonathan, Mia, Richard and others.

"Yes, I called you by name and asked you to go see him."

Hearing this, not only Roy was puzzled, but everyone at the scene, including Jonathan, looked surprised.

"The new chief just finished a meeting with the deputy chiefs. If I want to meet the captains of the patrol teams when I return to the office, shouldn't I start with Captain Lampard of Team A? Why would I be called a deputy captain first?" Roy turned from surprise to confusion.

Dai Lin spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

Richard said, "As far as I know, Director Colin was previously the director of the Special Operations Bureau. Maybe he has heard about Roy's achievements there. Don't forget that the Special Operations Bureau's emergency action team was directly involved in the last warehouse raid on the motorcycle gang and drug dealers."

Mia nodded slightly: "Then he must have heard of Roy. That's not surprising. Didn't Captain Pierre come to the police station some time ago?"

Jonathan looked at Roy and said, "It should be fine. He probably just wants to talk to you. After all, you are a star patrolman."

Dai Lin said at the side: "I have been transferred from the position of secretary to the director. Maybe it is because Roy was promoted by Gordon, and the new director..."

Dai Lin hesitated to speak. After all, this was a public place with many people around and everyone could hear it. It would be bad if the new director heard about it.

"I'll go take a look first!"

After he finished speaking, Roy turned and walked towards the director's office.

Dai Lin followed closely and caught up with Roy. She pulled him to the corridor, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered, "This new director is very fierce. He looks expressionless when he looks at everyone. It's easy to tell that he's not easy to get along with. He's completely different from Gordon. You have to be mentally prepared."

Roy nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."

Following Dai Lin to the director's office, Roy looked at the door in front of him and felt some emotion in his heart. When Gordon was there, he had had secret talks with Gordon in there countless times, and every time he finished his work, he almost always collected the money here.

But now, everything has changed. The office has a new owner, and he doesn't know what kind of person the new director is.

dong dong dong-

Roy knocked on the office door.

"Come in!"

Roy opened the office door and walked in.

"sit!"

Roy sat down opposite Director Colin:
"Director, you called me..."

Colin, with a stern face, did not speak. Instead, he took out a box of Camel cigarettes from his pocket and put it on the table. Looking at the cigarette box, Colin said:
"I used to like Marlboro very much. I smoked Marlboro for 20 years, but recently I suddenly felt that Camel is better than Marlboro."

Roy: "???"

Colin took out two Camels from the cigarette box and handed one to Roy. Roy took the cigarette from Chief Colin with some surprise.

Just when Roy was confused and didn't understand what the other party meant, Director Colin suddenly stood up from his office chair, walked around the desk, came to Roy, took out a lighter from his pocket, bent down and respectfully lit it...

Roy: "???"

What’s going on? What does Chief Colin mean by this?
This scene made Roy a little confused.

Standing up slowly, Roy looked with surprise at Director Colin, who was smiling, bending over, and holding a lighter in both hands.

"What are you doing?"

Roy, who was a little confused, put the Camel cigarette in his hand into his mouth, and Director Colin came forward to light it for Roy.

The next second, Director Colin asked:
"Can I have one too?"

Roy: "???"

"up to you……"

Hearing the other party's agreement, Director Colin quickly put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and took a long puff.

Director Colin was about to speak when he turned to look at the window, quickly walked to the window, closed it, drew the curtains, walked quickly to the office door, opened the door and looked outside.

Seeing Dai Lin sitting in her office, Director Colin said coldly, "Go do something else first. I'll call you back later."

Dai Lin nodded: "Yes, Chief!"

As he left, Dai Lin looked back at the director's office from time to time, wondering what the new director was going to do? Why was he so sneaky?
boom--

The office door was closed and locked...

Roy: "???"

Director Colin walked quickly to the sofa next to Roy and sat down gently. As soon as he sat down, he pushed the ashtray in front of Roy. Roy was a little confused and didn't know what the new director was doing.

Cough cough--

After coughing twice, Director Colin gave Roy a flattering smile: "You...you are an agent..."

Roy suddenly had an idea in his mind.

His words...

Could it be that……

Roy stared into Colin's eyes and said nothing.

Colin smiled and nodded, "I know you are an internal agent. I...I was sent by Ms. Irina to assist you in your work..."

Roy: "..."

What the hell!

Roy cursed in Chinese in his mind.

Nima!

Roy never expected that the old black director in front of him was actually sent by Irina. Could it be that he was also an agent of the organization?

But, it doesn’t look like…

Roy knew that he was currently the lowest-level field agent in the organization, with a confidentiality level of 1. Yet he was so polite to me, obviously acting like a bootlicker. What was going on?

Although he was thinking about the problem in his mind, there was no abnormal expression on Roy's face. After a moment, Roy nodded slightly.

Seeing that Roy didn't say anything, Colin flattered him, "It's like this. The organization has been observing me for several years, but... but they have never recruited me. I have also worked hard for the organization over the years and done a lot of things. Ms. Irina said... she said that you are the one in charge of observing me, and asked me to cooperate with you and perform well in front of you. Only after you approve of my observation will the organization officially recruit me."

Roy: "..."

Colin continued flatteringly, "I was transferred to the Brooklyn Police Department this time to facilitate your observation. I hope... I hope..."

Wow, the strength of the organization once again shocked Roy. First, the people from the Inspectorate came to Gordon's office to get evidence, and then they directly sent a director-level target to cooperate with the work. Roy was completely impressed...

What I was thinking was that this was just within the NYPD. If things went wrong, there might be people in the organization within the FBI, IRS, ATF (Agency of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), and even the CIA.

Roy nodded seriously, "Well, as long as you cooperate with my work, I will give you an observation approval."

What is observation recognition?

Roy doesn't know...

"Okay, okay, thank you so much!" Colin quickly put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Roy.

Roy held out one hand and shook Colin's hands.

Colin asked cautiously, "You are an agent of the organization. Can I ask your code name? If not, I take back my question."

Roy thought: I don’t even have a code name…

After a slight hesitation, Roy said: "Codename 404..."

"Ah! Okay, okay, I remember it, I remember it!"

Just then, Roy's cell phone rang.

I took it out and saw that the caller was Irina.

Press the answer button and the call is connected.

Irina's queenly voice came from the receiver:

"How is it? Is the new director using it smoothly?"

Roy held up his phone, glanced at Colin, who was smiling, and said into the receiver: "Well, sure..."

"That's good. He is a candidate for observation. I told him that the organization will only send him a recruitment letter with your approval. Colin is a good person and can do the job. You can rest assured to use him. That's it for now."

"OK!"

Irina hung up the phone directly.

Outside the office...

Away from the office, Dai Lin paced back and forth in the corridor. Roy had been in there for half an hour, and she was a little worried.

Suddenly, Dai Lin heard the sound of the director's office door opening.

Roy came out of the office.

Dai Lin came forward and asked, "Is everything alright?"

Roy smiled and said, "What can I do? Director Colin wants you to go to his office."

"Oh well……"

After watching Roy's departing back, Dai Lin came to the director's office, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.

"Come!"

Colin's voice came from the office.
