Jiang Yan sent teammates away from the dormitory building one after another. The gifts he received slowly filled his pockets: there were wristbands from Ai Luo and emergency kits from Ai'er. They both entered the field of dispatched operators.
The first task of the team was to assist Ursus officials in a mutual transport mission and to catch the early morning flight.
Nate gave him an emergency medicine syringe that he and Hank designed together, which contained several first-aid medicines and was lightweight and portable. He chose to go to the Originium mining area: there was a long-term security mission for Black Steel there, and there were many medical needs.
Jessica gave Jiang Yan an entry photo - the camera she brought was used for this. In the photo, she was a little nervous in formal operator uniform, but she was smiling happily, and there seemed to be a complicated meaning hanging from the corner of her eyes.
Tears decided to join the new operator training team and help those juniors who have not yet become familiar with the environment but have been recruited to run in and train themselves. She needs to go to the Columbia headquarters.
Hank decided to go back to his master first - he decided to hone himself in the Yan Kingdom first. Before he left, he put his arm around Jiang Yan's shoulders and hesitated to speak.
"Jiang Yan, regarding your mobile phone..." He was not willing to give in in his field of expertise, but this problem was indeed not something he could solve. "I guess I can't solve it for the time being. But since it is related to your life experience
You still have to carry something with you, maybe it will come in handy one day? It’s like that in the comics.”
"As a substitute, I designed a mobile phone for you - shipped from my home. The address is City A base. If you can receive it before you leave, just collect it. If you can't receive it, I will forward it to you.
."
Hank waved his hands and left the dormitory building - he had too many equipment manufacturing tools, and he had entrusted professionals to pack them and send them away early.
Jiang Yan, who returned to the base too late, had not received any notification about future arrangements. Watching people go to the empty dormitory, he returned to the room alone and packed a small bag that could be used at any time: he did not forget to pack that

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yan received a notice asking him to go to the BOSS office in the main building. Taking items he might need, he got up and went to Walton's office. After knocking on the door and getting a response, Jiang Yan entered.
office.
"BOSS." Jiang Yan stood cautiously by the door. Walton hummed in response, and then pointed to the chair in front of his desk. Jiang Yan sat upright and waited for the ramen shop owner to speak. Unexpectedly, the boss spoke for the first time.
In one sentence:
"Did you really think I was just a ramen shop?"
Jiang Yan wiped the non-existent cold sweat and said, "I also knew that you were an operator, but I didn't expect that those were your part-time jobs."
"Those are my duties." Walton pouted, "Why are you so nervous? Even if you illegally invaded Franka's dormitory last night, I'm not a policeman and I won't do anything to you." Listen.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan was shocked: "You know-"
"I not only know that you invaded Franka's dormitory, but I also know that you originally planned to invade Razer's dormitory. I even know exactly what you want to steal." Walton waved his hand, "Just like you
With Hank's help, I also have experts here. But those are not important, I just want to know one thing."
Walton put his hands on the table, looked directly at Jiang Yan, and asked, "Did you succeed in the end?"
"...This," Jiang Yan asked doubtfully, "shouldn't you know this?"
"She refused to tell me - quick, did you succeed in the end?"
"...I took a pair of stockings."
"Oh." Walton raised an eyebrow, with a lewd smile on his face that all men know, "I didn't expect that your kid actually has such interest!" Suddenly, Walton placed the old-fashioned teapot on the table.
The phone vibrated violently as if in protest. Walton comforted the phone, "Okay, okay, I don't mean anything else, I just want him not to be too nervous." After that, he smiled apologetically at Jiang Yan again,
"This is my wife. She is always very jealous."
"Uh..." This was really hard to understand for Jiang Yan, "Can it be understood that your wife is the expert who cracked Hank's system? She is also monitoring here now?"
Walton nodded, "You can understand it that way. Okay, I've finished asking you, and now it's your turn to ask me a question. Just ask, what do you want to know?"
Jiang Yan observed Walton carefully, and for a long time, he asked in confusion, "BOSS, how old are you this year?" To be honest, Walton's appearance looked like a young man of about the same age as him.
But how can such a young man own such a huge company like Black Steel? Walton touched his chin and pondered for a while. "Let me do the math...if I just count my age, I should be about the same age as your parents."
, of course, it may be older, so you may have to call me grandpa."
This answer made Jiang Yan more and more confused, "Then what's wrong with your face-" "Hey, eh," Walton raised his hand to interrupt his question. "That's another question."
"...Oh, okay." Jiang Yan had no choice but to put aside his curiosity, "What did you come to me for?"
"Yes, there are some things that I need to ask you personally in more detail." Walton took out a form from the drawer, "You told Franka that you wanted to be a resident operator, right?"
"Well, I did say that."
"So, Jiang Yan, this is purely a personal question of mine, what kind of life do you want?"
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, "Sorry, what did you just say?"
"Let me ask, what kind of life do you want?" Walton tapped the pen on the table. "Whatever you want to understand, boss to employee, elder to junior, or friends. As long as you answer seriously.
good."
Jiang Yan pondered for a while and then replied, "Maybe a life that is too exciting is not suitable for me. I want a stable life more."
"Really - what are your goals next? Career planning and so on."
"Finish enough work to repay the favor, and then, uh, leave Black Steel and find a new job." After saying that, Jiang Shao scratched his head in embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Walton was not angry after hearing this, but was instead amused.
He laughed. "Really? My *Victoria swears*, it seems you weren't kidding me."
The laughter disappeared, and Walton wiped away the tears from laughter, "Okay, I already understand. You do... forget it, just pretend I didn't say it. Although it is difficult to do, Ajman——Jiang Shao
, I don’t plan to change my decision.” After that, he took out a necklace with rings hanging from the drawer. “Here, here is this for you, remember to bring it with you, this is what I will arrange for you next.
related to the mission.”
Have a mission? Jiang Yan sat up straight. It seemed that this time was not just a casual chat. "There was a cruise ship at the pier in the neighboring city of city A that was supposed to arrive this morning, but communication was lost just before sunrise. After preliminary investigation,
The ship may have encountered an accident in the early hours of the morning - your mission is to go to the coast for search, rescue and investigation. As for how to further follow up and when to terminate the mission, it depends on your decision. Do you have any questions?
member?"
"Yes, what is the name of this ship?"
"——Titanic."
Good guy, if there was water in Jiang Yan's mouth, he would definitely spit it out right now. This name sounds like a sinking sound. He suppressed the desire to complain and continued to ask: "Is there anyone in the local area who can take on the task with me? Commission it.
Who is Fang?"
"I am the client, and I have named you to carry out the task. There is no other organization for this task except you."
"Ah, what on earth is this..."
"Jiang Yan." Walton looked into his eyes and said slowly, "I can only tell you that this task is related to you. If you want to find someone to complete it, there will be no other person besides you.
Choose. Moreover, this task is very important to you, and perhaps to the people around you..."
"Did I make myself clear enough?"
"...Yes, BOSS."
"Go to the equipment department to get what you need - set off immediately."
