"Let us raise a toast together and welcome Deputy Director Raymond!"

Carlos picked up the red wine glass with a smile on his face and a cheerful and enthusiastic voice.

Ding~

Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Welcome Deputy Director Raymond."

Raymond filled the glass with wine, raised it, and said concisely: "Thank you everyone."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

His speaking and acting styles are consistent, vigorous and resolute, and he doesn't speak too many clichés.

When he was in the special training class, Su Mo liked Instructor Raymond's style very much because Instructor Raymond reminded him of his former high school principal.

I remember that at the opening ceremony, the principal's "Let me just say a few words" went on for a full hour. The person who spoke was so dizzy that he wanted to rush to the podium and seal his mouth.

Since then, "Let me say a few words" has become the most feared sentence among students.

Raymond's simple reply aroused many people's surprise. They did not expect that the new deputy director would have such a style. This was indeed strange to them who had met many leaders.

After a toast together, the dinner officially began.

Interestingly, Carlos was surrounded by people, but there were only three people around Raymond, Su Mo, Lu Fan, and Jamie. The other executives were all huddled in their seats, watching from a distance but not daring to get close.

There is no way, anyone with a brain knows clearly that next, Deputy Director Raymond and Director Carlos will definitely have an incompatible relationship. Even if Raymond has three of his students around him, and these three are outstanding, His strength is extraordinary, but after all, Director Carlos has been in charge of the shelter for more than ten years, so how can a few outsiders challenge him?

Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes...

For half an hour, no one dared to come forward to toast with Raymond privately.

This situation made the atmosphere of the banquet extremely strange. Seeing this scene, the corners of Carlos' mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Creak~

Fang Hao clenched and unclenched his palms, struggling with his eyes, but finally gritted his teeth, grabbed the wine glass in his hand, and wanted to get up.

"Old Fang!"

At this moment, a hand next to him grabbed Fang Hao's arm tightly.

Li Wucheng looked at Fang Hao, shook his head, and lowered his voice:

"do not go."

"Old Li!" Fang Hao took a deep breath and said firmly:

"I don't want to be a coward for the rest of my life."

Li Wucheng opened his mouth, and the words he wanted to persuade immediately got stuck in his throat, making it difficult to say them out.

He knew what Fang Hao meant by being a coward.

Seven years ago, not long after Fang Hao joined Shelter 11, one night, he encountered something that changed the trajectory of his life.

At that time, Fang Hao heard a woman calling for help. When he rushed there, he found a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old being assaulted by several people. He quickly shouted to stop her and revealed his identity as an executive.

However, the leader said something - "I am Sally's biological brother, Josie. If you don't want to cause trouble, get out of here."

After saying that, Qiao Xi forced the girl to leave.

Although the girl was still desperately calling for help, Fang Hao seemed to be frozen at that time and watched several people leave.

Sally, the deputy director, is something that a newcomer cannot mess with.

In this world, it is already very difficult to survive, so being violated should be nothing, right?

Fang Hao comforted himself.

But the next day, Fang Hao received the bad news that the girl who was dragged away by Qiao Xi committed suicide at home by slitting her wrists because she was not willing to be humiliated. She was only 14 years old.

After learning the news, Fang Hao collapsed instantly. He locked himself in the room without eating or drinking until three days later.

However, Fang Hao has completely changed when he comes out. He has become smooth, accidental, and voluptuous. He hangs out in romantic places and can get along with everyone.

However, only Li Wucheng, who is a good friend, knows that that incident has become a permanent thorn in Fang Hao's heart. Whenever he thinks about it, Fang Hao will have insomnia all night long.

Li Wucheng remembered how Fang Hao was drunk and crying at home on the first night after Su Mo's arrival, after Deputy Director Sally was defeated by Su Mo with one punch.

"Lao Li, you know, I dreamed about that girl again a few days ago. In the dream, she asked me with despair on her face, aren't you an executive? Why don't you save people? Why do you stand by and watch?"

"In the same situation, Lu Fan took action, Su Mo took action, and as for me, I am a coward, I am just a coward!"

"Old Li, I regret it. I really regret it. If I had half the courage of Lu Fan and Su Mo at that time, that girl would not have died. She might be married now!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!!!"

That night, Fang Hao got himself very drunk. Although he became the same as usual the next day, only Li Wucheng knew that Fang Hao's heart had changed.

"Old Li!" Fang Hao's eyes were red and his voice was choked: "I really, really don't want to be a coward anymore."

Li Wucheng took a deep breath, slowly let go of his hand, and then stood up, with a smile suddenly appearing on his face:

"Let's go, Lao Fang, I'll work with you to redeem ourselves."

As the executive officer of Shelter 11, who has never encountered darkness?

However, some people choose to use light to crush the darkness, while some people can only blend into the darkness.

He is that pitiful, hateful person who blends into the darkness and constantly excuses himself~

"Old Li!"

Fang Hao didn't expect that Li Wucheng would make the same choice as him. However, when he saw the complexity and determination in his friend's eyes, he understood instantly.

"Let's go~"

Under everyone's surprised, shocked and puzzled gaze, Fang Hao and Li Wucheng came to Raymond side by side.

"Deputy Director Raymond, we both propose a toast to you."

Fang Hao's voice was a little trembling, but to his own surprise, at this moment, he actually felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off. Dozens of gazes like blades appeared on this One moment doesn't matter anymore.

"And me, deputy director." Li Wucheng said seriously.

Raymond looked at them, a smile gradually appeared on his stern face: "Tell me your names."

"Fang Hao!"

"Li Wucheng!"

"Fang Hao, Li Wucheng." Raymond raised his glass, clinked it with their wine glasses, and said sincerely: "I will remember you."

Lei Meng knew very well how much pressure Fang Hao and Li Wucheng had to bear before they dared to stand up and step forward in this situation.

The two chose him, and he will definitely not betray their trust.

Su Mo looked at Fang Hao and Li Wucheng in front of him with a smile on his lips.

Although there are not many people, at least this is a good start~

"Director."

Li Hu came close to Carlos and winked in Raymond's direction.

Carlos glanced sideways, his expression was as usual, but his eyes were a little colder.

"Fang Hao, Li Wucheng, hum!"
