A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

As Miranda was contemplating her future, she saw Pan Ning's call, composed herself, and answered with a smile.

next second.

She was completely stunned.

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

"That secret law enforcement agency formed by the five major powers?"

As a professional finance graduate from the University of Pennsylvania, Miranda's connections within the federal government are not to be underestimated.

such as……

The current Secretary of the Treasury is their senior from the University of Pennsylvania.

As an outstanding graduate herself, Miranda also has this senior's contact information in her alumni directory.

Not to mention the other alumni who are working in various federal law enforcement agencies.

Information flows very quickly between finance departments, so it's quite reasonable that they knew about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s existence.

Pan Ning said directly, "Yes, it's S.H.I.E.L.D. Luke said that Sanfei Decoration is short of a financial manager. If you're interested..."

Miranda raised an eyebrow: "The financial manager of Sanfei Jewelry was arrested about seven days ago. There was even discussion about it in the baby group a few days ago."

Their alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, has a mascot, an owl named Baby.

Miranda's mind raced: "If it's a three-piece suit, I'd definitely be willing, but is the information reliable?"

S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently in a state of being like a cat in a shoebox within the federal law enforcement system.

He exists, yet he does not exist.

However, S.H.I.E.L.D. is definitely not part of the FBI system.

If she wants to go to Sanfei Orchestra, that would be considered a job change.

If she switches jobs and finds it's not her place, she can come back if she wants, given her abilities, but her rank will definitely be lowered.

It's perfectly normal for Miranda to be a little worried about this.

Pan Ning grabbed her phone and went back to the sofa to look at Lu Ke.

He had the phone on speakerphone, so Luke was able to hear what Miranda had just said.

Luke spoke directly to Miranda on the other end of the phone: "There's no need to worry about that. However, if you want to go, you need to act quickly, because this window of opportunity ends on the 10th, and today is already the 7th."

Upon hearing this, Miranda didn't hesitate at all and immediately decided, "I'll write the application right now."

After saying that.

Miranda hung up the phone immediately.

She works in finance, and being decisive and efficient is an essential professional quality.

After confirming Miranda's idea, Luke took Pan Ning's phone and dialed Alexander.

After receiving confirmation from Luke, Alexander didn't say much, just said "I understand" and hung up.

three days later.

January 10th.

Good news is coming.

Miranda Karp has officially become the new Treasurer of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the office.

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Pan Ning clinked glasses with Lu Ke, thanked him, and then looked at Lu Ke: "Miranda said she'll treat you to drinks in Los Santos once things are sorted out."

Lu Ke laughed and said, "Okay, I'll remember that."

In fact, Miranda's appointment was confirmed yesterday, but even secret agencies need to go through a process before it can be announced.

After all, who stepped down from Nick Fury's responsibilities?

At present, within S.H.I.E.L.D., even if you go to the logistics department to get a roll of toilet paper or something, you have to follow the proper procedures to report to your direct supervisor, then submit a report, and after approval, hand it over to the new director of administration. Only after the latter signs it will the logistics department carry it out.

Uh……

By the time this whole process is over, you'll either be stuck in the toilet forever, or you'll be so impatient that you'll be using your own clothes as toilet paper.

In short, S.H.I.E.L.D. is quite well-organized right now.

"correct."

Pan Ning recalled his phone conversation with his fiancée yesterday and looked at Luke: "The people who interviewed her were the Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Commander Maria Hill. In the final decision, it was Maria Hill who voted for Miranda."

Luke nodded: "I know that. Don't worry about me. Miranda can do whatever she wants."

Pan Ning meant that the first half of his sentence was unimportant; the important part was the last sentence.

Maria Hill appears to be trying to win over Miranda Karp.

This is also normal.

Miranda Karp wasn't the only one who went for an interview yesterday; there were three others.

However, the other three people all have labels attached to them to varying degrees.

Two of those three people were appointed as the finance directors of a certain branch of S.H.I.E.L.D. during Alexander's term.

The other one also bears the Nick Fury label.

and so……

Just as some members of the Security Council are wary of Maria Hill's "military background," Maria Hill, whose power is essentially equivalent to that of Nick Fury (the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.) right now, is naturally unwilling to see the finance department taken over by someone labeled "Alexander Pierce" or "Nick Fury," except for the lack of legitimacy.

This gives Miranda Karp a very clear advantage.

Maria Hill's vote for Miranda Karp was, naturally, and entirely expected.

Knowing what Miranda Karp was worried about, Luke said that, then turned to Pan Ning and said, "The matter between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Miranda was purely coincidental, something that happened incidentally. And shouldn't we be more worried about the new state director?"

It's worth noting that this new California governor was parachuted in on Christmas Eve.

What were the FBIs doing across California at that time?

Some are on holiday, others are going abroad.

obviously.

This new state director didn't come by chance; he specifically chose this time to launch a sneak attack, disregarding all martial ethics.

When a new bureau chief takes office, the proper procedure is for them to receive the news first, and then visit him as soon as possible to show their respect.

But how did this new director do it?

They launched a surprise attack, parachuting in during the holiday without a word, taking the initiative, and without any martial ethics, they hid a bomb.

When he wants to take action against someone, he'll have a natural reason.

That is, when I take office is my business, but if you don't come to visit me immediately, that's disrespectful to me, and that's your problem.

"This new director doesn't seem to have any good intentions."

Luke shook his head and looked at Pan Ning: "Luckily you were in Sacramento at the time. What's your background? Any news?"

Pan Ning grabbed the documents that were lying next to him and handed them directly to Lu Ke: "Take a look."

Lu Ke took the documents and began to read them.

The new director is named Miller. There isn't much information available about him, and his resume isn't particularly impressive.

This Director Miller was born, raised, and educated in Washington, D.C., graduating from Yale. He then went directly to Quantico headquarters, starting as a senior special agent, then serving as an office agent, operations staff agent, assistant director of operations, and finally becoming the new California director.

"This resume..."

Looking at the information about Director Miller in his hand, Lu Ke immediately noticed the problem and looked at Pan Ning: "It's obvious that he came down here to stir up some trouble so that he can go back to headquarters."

According to the information on Director Miller, this guy's career path followed the headquarters route.

Since graduating, he has never considered doing any entry-level work. His career path clearly indicates that he wants to become the director of the FBI.

This time, it's clear they're planning something big, and then they can return to Quantico after they've done it.

Pan Ning nodded in agreement: "If he didn't intend to cause trouble, he wouldn't have suddenly appeared on Christmas Eve. But the key question is, what kind of trouble does he intend to cause, and who does he intend to cause trouble for?"

Lu Ke noticed Pan Ning's expression.

"Do you think he's planning to target us?"

"I do not know."

Pan Ning frowned and looked at Lu Ke with a serious expression: "But, so many days have passed, and those who should have doubts have started to have them."

He was referring to Horton Lewis.

Horton Lewis died last year, and the official cause of death was a plane crash, but those in the know understand the real cause of death.

Moreover, so much time has passed, it's time to identify potential suspects.

no doubt.

Having received Horton Lewis's last mission instructions before his departure, he and Luke were undoubtedly the prime suspects.

Although there is no evidence that Luke and Penning were in Sacramento on the day Horton Lewis died.

But the law is all about evidence.

Capital only talks about possibilities.

Lu Ke thought for a moment, smiled, and said to Pan Ning, "Is this new director planning to come with ill intentions, or is he planning to come with ill intentions? We'll find out when we go tomorrow."

Pan Ning: "..."
