Chapter 45: William's Night
William sat on the ground, waiting for the progress bar to finish, and kept saying: Hurry up, hurry up!
I feel anxious like never before. Even when I was young and working for the first time, I was not as nervous as I am today.
Why?
People or things?
After the progress bar reached halfway, William's mood miraculously calmed down again.
He turned his head and looked out the window. Through the tall buildings on the road, he saw the lively crowds in the central square and the lights that gradually illuminated the dark night.
It seems that there is something wrong with my spirit. The microcomputer in my hand is no longer heavy. The act of breathing seems to be out of the control of the body. The soul is out of the body, peering into the essence through the body.
What about umbrella companies?
Umbrella companies in the past were no different from any other capital enterprise, but today's umbrella companies have become less bad due to the arbitrary actions of their current leaders.
Employees who used to only fish and complain are now full of smiles. Those employees who were clamoring to resign suddenly feel proud of their status as employees of the umbrella company.
Citizens are no longer prejudiced against umbrella companies. Instead, they like umbrella companies more and more and like the changes that umbrellas have brought to them.
No matter where you look at it, what Umbrella Company is doing now is changing in a good direction.
So what's the point of him doing this?
Colored lights carry the beauty of life and the happiness of citizens, but what I am doing seems to be destroying such happiness.
If Umbrella Company fails in the end, Janice may not see such a prosperous age...
Why do I think of her?
William suddenly woke up and shook his head, but he couldn't get rid of the thoughts that disturbed his mind.
"William?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out his name.
William was startled and immediately turned his head to see Janice, who was wearing a dress under the yellow light and staring at him with doubtful eyes.
When did she come?!
Janice originally saw William unexpectedly in the square, thinking that he had changed his mind and wanted to find him.
As a result, no one caught up with him, but followed him all the way to the company and saw a scene like this.
Janice's eyes swept over the microcomputer in William's hand and saw the data storage and the cable connected to the office host. She did not think in any bad direction, but just said doubtfully: "I just saw you in the square.
I thought you were here for an appointment...what are you doing now?"
"I'm dealing with some work matters and repairing this computer." After the initial panic, William used his excellent professionalism to make up an excuse in an attempt to get through.
Janice was an ordinary woman who didn't understand electronic components, so she easily believed William's words.
However, things did not develop in William's good direction. Seven or eight big men wearing suits and headphones on their ears suddenly rushed in from the door of the purchasing department's office area, holding Taser guns in their hands, and quickly surrounded the two people.
"Hands up!"
"Put your hands where we can see them, now!"
"Stand up!"
Several deafening roars shocked Janice. She looked confused, but she still raised her hands instinctively and subconsciously looked at William, only to see a thick bitter smile on the latter's face.
William threw down the microcomputer and raised his hands in surrender as required. He was discovered, and sure enough, he still couldn't bypass the Umbrella Company's security system.
The ones who came to capture the commercial espionage were several of Duncan's old acquaintances, including Rob, Buck, Kevin, and Snow, who traveled with him to the Marvel world, plus two clone security guards.
They knew a lot of things, and after leaving the security forces, they entered the umbrella's exclusive intelligence department, which was responsible for spy investigation and arrest.
Today was their first operation. They successfully arrested a big fish that had been lurking for five years. This made them all very excited. They tied William's hands behind his back in just three strokes. They also searched his body and only found his mobile phone.
and wallet.
Janice, who was holding her hands up next to her, was ignored. After discovering this, she almost put down her hands.
Seeing that William was arrested, she said anxiously: "Wait a minute, why are you arresting him? He is just helping to repair the computer... right?"
In order not to damage the image that Protective Umbrella had finally built, Kevin explained to the anxious Janice: "He is a commercial spy. We have absolute evidence and will now arrest him and hand him over to the police. If there are any problems, we will follow up
You can read the internal forum announcement. If you are not worried, I have recording evidence here!"
When she heard that William, whom she liked, was actually a commercial spy, Janice's head went blank with a bang, and she stared blankly at William, whose hands were tied behind his back.
Seeing Janice's dull eyes, the latter felt much better and nodded silently.
The moment he became a commercial espionage, he was already prepared to be discovered and go to jail. Even if he went to jail, as long as he had money, he could live a good life, so he was not very afraid.
But now, facing Janice's increasingly disappointed eyes, William's heart became less peaceful than he imagined.
“I didn’t expect that the company’s first exposed commercial espionage would be Mr. William, who has been working in the company for five years!”
A young voice came from the purchasing department.
Everyone turned around and couldn't help but be stunned.
The visitor had officially received the news and happened to come downstairs from the president's office to watch the excitement of Duncan.
His arrival straightened the backs of Buck and others, and also made Janice temporarily forget the shock that William was a commercial spy.
"Relax, today is a special day."
Duncan stepped into the office area of the purchasing department, patted Buck and others on the shoulders, smiled and nodded to Janice, and finally looked at William, who had his hands tied behind his back, as if he had defeated a rooster.
"Although the information you want to steal is not too important, this behavior is still illegal, so you still need to go to jail and reflect... However, thank you for the five years you have devoted to Umbrella Company!"
Hearing this, William lowered his head. Thinking of his current protective umbrella and Janice beside him, he couldn't help but begin to regret it.
I regret that I should not have continued the mission.
Obviously as long as he stays in the umbrella company, he can work until retirement without any burden.
Obviously, as long as he doesn't do this, he can stay with Janice with peace of mind and live peacefully.
There were so many reasons, but he didn't realize until he regretted that money is no longer that important!
Janice's eyes were red, and her original idea of interceding for William disappeared, and she said softly: "William, please reflect in prison."
William raised his head and looked at Janice.
Seeing the scene where the two fell in love, Duncan clapped his hands, interrupted their eye contact, and said with a smile: "It's not a bad night to go to jail. Let's go and watch the opening ceremony together."
