A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

the next day.

January 6th.

After packing their luggage, Luke, Rachel, and Lorna left the Alps, boarded a plane, and returned to loyal Los Santos.

It was already 9 p.m. when the three of them walked out of the airport. By the time they got home, it was already around 10:30 p.m., and after a quick tidy-up, it was almost midnight.

Rachel looked at the living room, which was getting messier the more she tidied up, and then at Lorna, who was exhausted. She made a quick decision and said to leave it for now, go to sleep, and tidy it up tomorrow.

Lorna nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The morning of the 7th.

Luke sat at the dining table, finished his breakfast, got up, kissed Rachel who had gotten up early to continue packing the various gifts she had brought back from Switzerland, and then prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Rachel stopped Luke in time. Looking at the gifts lined up on the sofa, she went over, looked around a bit, found four boxes, and handed them to Luke: "These two boxes are for Earl and Debbie, this one is for Jack, and this last one is for Penning. Don't get them mixed up."

Luke took the gift and smiled at Rachel: "Darling, how could I live without you?"

Since Rachel came into his life, his social work workload has been reduced by 99%.

Now, Rachel has even made arrangements for his post-holiday gifts.

Who gets what kind of gift, and what level of quality?

Rachel Menqing.

Lorna was also learning from the side, after all, this kind of knowledge could not be learned from school textbooks at all.

In response to Luke's lament, Rachel offered a solution.

“Then don’t lose me, Mr. Luke Dane.”

"I promise."

Luke kissed Rachel again, said something very seriously, then, carrying two boxes of gifts in each hand, turned and walked towards the garage.

Not long after.

The Audi A8's engine roared to life.

Rachel watched the black shadow flash past the window, smiled, and waved to Lorna, "Alright, let's continue."

Luke drove his Audi A8 back to the Federal Building without any hindrance.

Having received Luke's schedule and knowing that Luke would be returning to the station today, Earl, who had been waiting there since early morning, greeted him with a smile: "Director."

Luke took the gift out of the trunk and handed it to Earl: "Happy Holidays."

Earl took the gift, opened it, glanced at it, and showed a surprised expression. He then looked up and said thank you, trailing Luke by half a step as he walked towards the elevator: "Director, how was the scenery in the Alps?"

Luke spoke frankly: "I've been watching Rachel and Lorna wrestle all day."

Unfortunately, neither of these two women planned to hire a coach, and they both claimed they could do it themselves.

The results of it.

Let's say that.

During those few days in the Alps, Luke was exhausted every night and didn't enjoy the pleasure of the male-on-bottom position at all.

The answer is Rachel's butt hurts.

"By the way, are Jack and Debbie there?"

"The two of them went to find Natasha."

"Ok?"

Luke raised an eyebrow and looked at Earl: "I remember their second date was on Christmas. They've already used up their third date so quickly?"

Earl laughed and said, "This time doesn't count. They found Natasha using federal satellites, so they plan to just go there and bump into her."

Luke opened his mouth: "Using federal satellites to help them pick up girls, I don't know whether to praise them for being smart or what else."

However, he still didn't pay much attention to it.

In the end, whether Jack or Debbie subdued Natasha, Luke was the ultimate winner.

After all, both Jack and Debbie were his most loyal underlings.

"This is Debbie's gift, and this is Jack's. We'll give them to them when they get back."

"Ok."

"Pan Ning is in his office, right?"

"Here I am."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go find Pan Ning."

"Ok."

Luke said goodbye to Earl, stepped out of the elevator, and headed straight for Pan Ning's office with the gifts in his hands.

Pan Ning was playing mini-golf on the large balcony of his office.

Luke placed the gift on the sofa and laughed, "Are you itching to play, or just bored? Let's ask Jack to play a game of ball tomorrow."

Pan Ning putted the ball into the hole, finished his stroke, and walked in from the balcony: "Great, I'm fine. So, how was the Alps?"

Luke repeated the answer he had just given Earl, handed the poured bourbon to Pan Ning, and got straight to the point: "How's Miranda doing? Is she planning to continue working there, or is she preparing to apply for a transfer?"

Pan Ning shrugged: "New director, new finance director, that's the rule. Only those who have no choice will stay. She plans to apply for a transfer."

Luke nodded.

Pretty much what he thought.

Lu Ke took a sip of his drink and got straight to the point.

"I have a position that needs a finance manager."

"where."

"S.H.I.E.L.D."

"..."

Pan Ning paused slightly and looked at Lu Ke.

"S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Correct!"

Luke said bluntly, "Why don't you ask Miranda and see if she's interested? The financial director of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters has been dismissed, and we are in dire need of a new financial director with excellent professional skills and abilities in all aspects."

Pan Ning frowned: "If Miranda could go to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, she would definitely agree, after all, it would be a promotion, but is it appropriate?"

Luke shrugged.

"There's nothing inappropriate about this."

"You and Alexander weren't..."

Pan Ning raised an eyebrow at Lu Ke as she said this: "You know, your performance is over?"

Luke shook his head: "Not yet, but this has nothing to do with Miranda going to S.H.I.E.L.D."

The three members of S.H.I.E.L.D. are missing a financial manager.

Coincidentally, Miranda had the idea of ​​applying for a transfer because of the arrival of the new state director. It was quite normal for her to be noticed by S.H.I.E.L.D. due to the richness and professionalism of her resume.

Moreover, as Alexander said, the current financial director of Sanfei is a hot potato for some forces that originally had designs on them.

Capable people don't want to take on this difficult task at this time.

Even those who lack the ability, even if they wanted to touch it, wouldn't have the opportunity.

Miranda just happened to catch this window of opportunity. If she competes now, she's almost guaranteed to win. If she misses this window, she'll probably never have another chance like this.

What Pan Ning didn't know was the relationship between Alexander and Hydra.

But he knew about Alexander and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Lu Ke leaned back on the sofa and looked at Pan Ning: "Why don't you call Miranda? You'd better decide quickly, this opportunity closes on the 10th."

Pan Ning nodded and got up to walk towards his desk.

"I'll make the call now."

"..."

Chapter 245 The New Director with Unfriendly Intentions (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe!!)

While Pan Ning was calling his fiancée, Miranda was in her Sacramento apartment contemplating her next move.

She could actually have stayed at the state bureau.

But this choice is a choice without a choice.

Miranda graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, which is ranked number one in the federal academic rankings; she had a choice.

For her, the best option was to take this opportunity to request a transfer and return directly to Quantico's headquarters.

She is not a loser in the power struggle, so the new director will surely support her after she makes this request.

but……

After returning to Kuantike, although my rank will not change, my professional title will definitely be lower than when I was in the state bureau.

Even though a new director’s confidant has been parachuted in as the finance director, the state director has still reserved the title of deputy finance director for her.

If he went to Quantico, he wouldn't even get the title of a minor manager, let alone the position of deputy finance director.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

The same applies to work.

No one who becomes a leader would want to go back to being a lowly soldier who can only obey orders.

This is not.
