693: Agent Competition

"Then what do you want to do?" Li Si was still just a child and hadn't anticipated the potential for intrigue and scheming here; his thoughts were very simple.

"Don't mind him. You tell me, what do you want to do?" Su Yue stopped Li Si. How could he let this child who had come for him be bullied?

"Director, what is this?" As soon as Su Yue spoke, that person's arrogance weakened.

"He became a top Hacker without doing anything. What about you? What have you done? You still have the nerve to say you've been offended? Well, if that's the case, I don't mind finding a few more people and offending you more!"

"What? So sensitive? If you're so sensitive, don't work in this line of work, understand?"

Su Yue sternly reprimanded them. Li Si watched from the side, his blood boiling, thinking, "It's truly worth it to follow the Director!"

"Also, haven't you always said that the Central Intelligence Agency is understaffed? Very well, I announce that Li Si is the Deputy Director." As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, Li Si jumped up happily.

"No way, Director, you should have told me earlier that following you had this kind of benefit! How many people would be chasing you, wanting to work with you?" Li Si wasn't afraid of Su Yue at all, interacting with him like a friend, patting his friend's shoulder when he was happy.

"No, Director, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" The person who had just shut up, hearing Su Yue announce this news, also couldn't sit still.

"What? Are you questioning my decision now?" Su Yue looked at the speaker with a cold face.

"Of course I wouldn't dare, but I think..." He had originally intended to question it, but Su Yue's words immediately deflated his arrogance.

"You might not have figured out the situation yet. I highly doubt if there's a problem with your intelligence. Let me reiterate here again, I! Su Yue, am the current Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. I came here to issue orders, not to do the work!"

"You'd better figure out the current situation! Don't keep being unclear about the situation yourself, and then don't blame me when you lose your job." Su Yue said with a cold smile.

"Yes, Director!" Su Yue looked at this group of people with cold eyes.

"Let's go, you come with me first!" Su Yue led Li Si towards the Director's area.

It seemed he hadn't made the wrong move with this step! Su Yue turned his back to the surveillance and Li Si, a smile appearing on his face.

"Director, what exactly are we supposed to do now? I'm an official now, isn't it nonsense not knowing what to do?" Li Si asked.

Su Yue looked back at Li Si and said, "You were the one who said you didn't want to do anything just now, and now you're the one saying you want to do something! What exactly do you want to do!"

"Ah, Director, don't be angry. I... I, I don't want to make you angry!" Li Si's originally happy voice suddenly became unenthusiastic.

"Alright, why would I be angry? But seriously, what do you want to do?" Su Yue didn't want this kid to waste his talent.

"What can I do now? I really don't know anything except playing on the computer!" Su Yue nodded after hearing Li Si's words. "Not bad, you have some self-awareness. Alright, just focus on playing on your computer."

Ethan watched helplessly as Su Yue walked into the Director's office, and he slumped down on a chair in the agent group office, feeling defeated.

Now it was really bad. This move was completely useless against Urban and his group, and his current situation in the Central Intelligence Agency was the most embarrassing.

However, it was fortunate that Ethan held leverage over most people in the Central Intelligence Agency. This was why they were willing to speak up for Ethan despite the high risk, and it was also the reason why Ethan had gained control over such a large group in the Central Intelligence Agency in such a short time.

But he had clashed with Su Yue before, and this time Su Yue had become his leader. Even when Ethan was holding a gun to Su Yue's head back then, he never imagined that one day Su Yue would be formally accepted.

He also never expected that the status he had always been proud of would be so utterly devalued by Su Yue, and that he and Li Si couldn't even refute it.

But... he really couldn't accept being compared to Li Si. From James to the current Deng Liduō, Ethan had always believed that he was the one in the agent group who hadn't been eliminated.

He once thought that as long as Deng Liduō was fine, the possibility of him reaching the position of Director was at least over half, if not seventy percent.

As a result, not only had Su Yue become his superior, but was his current situation one where he had been abandoned by Deng Liduō?

Ethan wandered alone, feeling lost and helpless about his situation. Now, he could only try to perform better in front of Su Yue to gain favor. Since Deng Liduō announced that Su Yue was taking over this position, Ethan felt like he had been abandoned.

Su Yue didn't pay attention to what Ethan was doing. He only knew that next, he had to fully grasp the situation of the Central Intelligence Agency. However, due to Ethan's presence, his actions could only rely on the equipment he had previously set up in the Central Intelligence Agency.

"Director, what should I do now?" Li Si walked out of the Deputy Director's office and came over to Su Yue to ask.

"Are you truly serious about doing a good job?" Su Yue knew that it was fine to act alone before, but now that he was in the Central Intelligence Agency, fighting alone was clearly not feasible.

Li Si, who had come with him, although simple, was skilled and definitely surpassed the other members of the Central Intelligence Agency in some aspects.

Thinking of this, Su Yue suddenly remembered the Team Leader of Group 4 whom he had paid attention to before. This person might also be worth using, and perhaps could play a significant role.

"Director, you're not still doubting me, are you! I really want to work with you, and I don't want to embarrass you!" Li Si felt a little uncomfortable looking at Su Yue's suspicious eyes.

"If you plan to do a good job, why would I doubt you?" Su Yue didn't understand what Li Si meant by this.

"Because I'm a Hacker. This identity isn't very honorable!" Li Si lowered his head, not daring to look Su Yue in the eyes.

"Why is this identity not honorable? A Hacker refers to someone with high achievements in computing, and the name Hacker itself represents self-taught talent. Doesn't this just show that you have high intelligence?"

"Besides, I've looked into you. You haven't done anything harmful, so why would I doubt you? Do you really have other motives for approaching me?" Su Yue deliberately looked at Li Si in a probing manner.

"Of course that's impossible! I... I will always follow you, Director!" Li Si felt the weight lift from his heart when he heard Su Yue's words. Although many people admired the profession of Hacker online, in real life, many people held malicious views towards Hackers.

"Then that's fine. Now I'll give you a task, and this is your solo task!" Su Yue handed over all the equipment he had previously set up in the Central Intelligence Agency to Li Si.

Su Yue had always firmly believed in "employing without doubt, doubting without employing." Since he had decided to work together, there was no need to hide anything.

"No way! Director, the information on this equipment is from half a year ago. Have you been watching this place for a long time?" Li Si looked at Su Yue in disbelief. Su Yue nodded and replied, "Not exactly, but there are indeed some things."

Seeing that Su Yue didn't say more, Li Si didn't ask further.

Li Si had some understanding of Su Yue's identity, which was even less presentable than his own. Thinking of this, Li Si suddenly paused for a moment. Had he unintentionally poked the Director's sore spot just now?

The key point was that the person whose identity was even less presentable was comforting him, whose identity was only slightly less presentable.

"What are you spacing out for? Pull up the surveillance in a few corners for me." Since he was here, he couldn't just stay idle. He had agreed to this job at that time precisely to take the initiative.

"Okay, Director, just a moment!" After assigning Li Si the task, Su Yue went to the Officer Si group. There was someone there he was quite interested in.

"Good day, Director!"

"Good day, Director!"

"Good day, Director!"

Wherever Su Yue went, everyone bowed their heads and greeted him. It wasn't just because of the shock of the first meeting, but also because they had truly researched Su Yue's glorious deeds.

Only then did they realize that the person in front of them was someone whom the whole world couldn't catch!

How could they dare to act rashly? If they provoked the Director, they might end up even worse than the Team Leader of Group 1.

"Explain your current group assignments to me." Although Su Yue had stayed here for a long time last time, he hadn't paid much attention to the people here. But now it was different, he had to understand them.

"Good day, Director, I am the Deputy Team Leader of Group 1! Our group has a total of 15 people! There are 4 reserve Officer Sis! I am A02 in the team!"

"Good day, Director, I am the Team Leader of Group 2. Our group has a total of 15 people! There are no reserve Officer Sis, I am B01 in the team!"

"Good day, Director, I am the Team Leader of Group 3. Our group has a total of 12 people, there are 5 reserve Officer Sis, I am C01 in the team."

After listening to their self-introductions, Su Yue's mind recalled each person's position and corresponding team. The Central Intelligence Agency organization was neither big nor small. But the most important were the agent group and the Officer Si group, these two groups had complete dominance.

Although the agent group was not large in number, they completely suppressed the Officer Si group in terms of ability and insight.

This was a long-standing tradition of the Central Intelligence Agency.

The composition of the Central Intelligence Agency was not complicated, divided into the Case Investigation Group (i.e., the agent group), the Officer Si group, the Logistics Group (mainly responsible for cleaning and catering), and the Secretariat Group (whose members were often connected to the high-level and the Federal Court). They were collectively known as the three pillars of the United States.

The Logistics Group and the Secretariat Group had a moderate level of recognition for the Director and were relatively adaptable. For them, it was just a change of service object. But for the Officer Si group and the agent group, the situation was clearly different.

Their methods of operation and action plans would change. They were different from ordinary Police Officer stations; only the best could become members of the Central Intelligence Agency. However, due to the current disorganization of the agency, the originally most efficient Central Intelligence Agency gradually saw its reputation decline.

Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "The agent group is currently short of people. So we need to quickly improve the composition of the agent group. My idea is to select from the Officer Si group. As long as they are excellent, they can enter the agent group, regardless of whether they are reserve Officer Sis or Team Leaders or members, the opportunities are the same."

"Who can stand out first depends entirely on themselves."

After talking with them, Su Yue decided to hold the Special Agent competition next Wednesday. Many people signed up, and many Officer Sis actively participated. There were even rumors that members of the Secretariat Group had also signed up.

The purpose of Su Yue holding this competition was nothing more than to cultivate his own personnel, so that they could play a role in the Central Intelligence Agency and prepare for his offensive.

"Director, the surveillance is all done, and I've organized the data. Should I send it to you now?" Li Si saw Su Yue return and rushed over to report, hoping to gain more attention from Su Yue.

"So fast? Not bad, send it to me!" Su Yue returned to his office and began to check the surveillance content.

Things were progressing so smoothly that Su Yue couldn't help but suspect if there was a conspiracy hidden within.

He had expected Ethan to jump out and cause trouble, but Ethan had not appeared at all, which made Su Yue even more vigilant.

Just as Su Yue was checking the surveillance in the office, Li Si handed him the organized data.

"Why did you want me to sign up for the competition?" asked the Deputy Team Leader of Group 1.

"I am a special agent now. You can ignore this identity, but you cannot change it. I am confident that even you cannot compare to me!" Ethan said proudly.

"You still haven't said why! Why did you want me to participate in this competition?"

"If you insist on me telling you the reason, it's not that there isn't one. But shouldn't you ask yourself first? You definitely want to participate in this competition, but you should also know that your current ability is not as good as mine."

"I can help you, and you have to help me after you get in. We'll help each other!" Ethan said seriously to the Deputy Team Leader of Group 1.

"You should give me the video data you used to threaten me before, right?" The Deputy Team Leader of Group 1's eyes flickered.

Su Yue stared at them, wanting to know what the transaction video they were talking about was.

"Are you threatening me now?" Ethan's face changed dramatically when he heard the Deputy Team Leader's words. The originally friendly negotiation instantly turned into a fierce threat.

"What? You're not going to give it to me? Are you going to keep threatening me? If you keep not giving it to me, then I don't plan to cooperate with you!" The Deputy Team Leader of Group 1 did not back down.

Su Yue watched the interaction between the two on the screen and understood. His previous guess was indeed correct. Ethan was indeed using other leverage to threaten them.

But now that Su Yue had appeared, for Ethan and them, Su Yue was a variable.

And for Su Yue, they were just marginal pieces on the chessboard. Next Wednesday, let's see what they are capable of.

After finishing the day's work, Su Yue didn't go home. Instead, he wanted to see that familiar face to confirm if it was the person he was thinking of.

"Ding-a-ling!" Su Yue rang the doorbell.

"Who is it?" Zheng Ziye's voice came.

"It's me, Su Yue! Uncle!" Su Yue greeted politely.

"Ah? Come in quickly!" Zheng Ziye quickly opened the door and saw Su Yue wearing casual clothes. "Didn't you go to take office today? Why are you here?" Zheng Ziye looked at Su Yue in confusion.

"Yes, I wanted to come and find someone." Su Yue said with a smile, sitting on the sofa to Zheng Ziye.

"Looking for my daughter Sweetie, right? I already know?" Zheng Ziye looked at Su Yue teasingly.
