Finally Caught the Leeks

When the two sisters approached, Leon did not rise to greet them.

He remained seated in his chair, flashing his signature smile as he spoke:

"Ladies, if you've come to see me, I take it you've made your decision."

Andrea, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, glanced at her sister Amy before speaking first:

"Mr. Castor, we haven't decided yet, but we wanted to get some information upfront. If we join Umbrella Corporation, which department would we be assigned to, and what level of treatment would we receive?"

Not bad—two beautiful rookies to work with. Surviving together would be a lot more pleasant to the eye.

Leon kept his expression neutral, pretending not to recognize them, and said with a smile:

"Sorry, ladies, but I don't yet know your professions or names, so I can't make a judgment. Could you introduce yourselves?"

Andrea nodded, meeting Leon's eyes, and said: "My name is Andrea Magriff. I graduated from the University of Chicago Law School and am the lead attorney at Magriff Law Firm in Atlanta, with ten years of experience as a trial lawyer."

A lawyer—not bad, but in this apocalypse, the value of a desk job was cut at least in half.

Leon nodded. He could hear the faint pride in Andrea's tone. In the U.S., lawyers fell into two categories: trial lawyers who defended criminals in court, skilled in social interaction and eloquence, and transactional lawyers who specialized in legal statutes and handled various legal disputes.

Regardless, lawyers were absolute elites in America—only the smartest and most diligent could earn their credentials.

"Ms. Andrea, based on your qualifications, I have two options for you. The first is to join as administrative staff, handling internal affairs for Umbrella Corporation under the Logistics Department, starting at E-level. The second is to join as a recruitment officer, bringing in new employees for Umbrella Corporation, also under the Logistics Department, starting at D-level."

Leon smiled, adding with a hint of teasing: "Of course, you could also choose a third option—join the Security Department and become a glorious female Warrior, starting at E-level."

Then he turned to Amy and said with a smile:

"Your turn, Ms."

Amy glanced at her sister, let out a soft breath, and said: "I am Amy Magriff, a student at the University of Chicago School of Economics, in my junior year."

After saying that, Amy tilted her head, thought for a moment, then lowered it a bit dejectedly and added: "That's it. Nothing else."

Leon kept his expression unchanged, laughing inwardly, and said politely to the girl:

"Miss Amy, I also have two options for you. The first is to join the Logistics Department as administrative staff, starting at E-level. The second is to join the Logistics Department as my assistant, responsible for managing our supplies and assisting me with oversight, starting at D-level."

Hearing this, Andrea gave Leon a thoughtful look, then glanced at her sister, saying nothing.

The girl Amy's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked into Leon's deep, dark green eyes and asked softly:

"Mr. Castor, why did you choose me as your assistant?"

Leon smiled faintly, adopting a businesslike tone: "Right now, Umbrella Corporation is in its startup phase, and every position is severely understaffed. As a manager, I don't have the time to handle supplies personally."

"Miss Amy, the fact that you got into the University of Chicago School of Economics proves you're a smart, diligent, and detail-oriented girl with a strong talent for management and numbers. For now, you're the most suitable person I've seen for this role."

With that, Leon winked.

"Of course, you're also very beautiful. Working alongside you would give me more motivation."

Having teased the beauty, Leon was in a good mood. The three chatted for a while longer, and Angelina and Amy finally reached an agreement to join Leon's company.

"Mr. Castor, I've decided to join the Logistics Department as a recruitment officer to bring more talent into the company." Andrea's posture was upright, a confident smile on her face. She had faith in her eloquence, and being able to do what she excelled at lifted her spirits.

"Mr. Castor, I've also decided to join the Logistics Department as your assistant." The little beauty Amy opened her mouth, wanting to say a few words to show her loyalty, but her lack of experience left her tongue-tied.

Finally, she squeezed out a quiet sentence.

"I'll do my best to manage the supplies."

Leon smiled and nodded at both of them, acknowledging their loyalty.

He stood up, pulled two more chairs from the back of the camouflage truck, and handed them to the women.

"Since we're family now, let's have lunch together."

"You've been trapped here for days—haven't had food like this in a while, right?"

"This is a meal I cooked myself."

"Don't be shy. Dig in."

The two women nodded, picked up their knives and forks, and began eating ravenously. Americans never bothered with false politeness, and they'd been eyeing the food on the table hungrily.

For the past month, they'd been hiding and scavenging, never once having a proper meal. Eating well today secretly delighted them.

The three chatted as they ate, and time flew by.

After the meal, the two sisters wasted no time. They immediately returned to Quarry Camp to pack their belongings and drove their car over to Leon's place.

Since they were now his rookies, and following the principle of making good use of labor, just after noon, Leon had the little beauty Amy clean up the dishes and organize the supplies in the truck's cargo bed. He himself grabbed a stack of blank paper and walked over to Angelina.

"Andrea, time to get to work."

"A recruitment officer also handles personnel assignments on the side. Your first task is to help me set up employee files."

He handed the paper to Andrea.

"Draw up a file template now—age, height, gender, specialties, work history. The more detailed, the better."

"This includes both you and your sister—every employee must have a file created."

"Also, take some time now to think about drafting a labor contract for our Umbrella Corporation. In the future, we'll sign formal contracts with every employee."

Andrea reached out and took the blank paper, staring at Leon for over ten seconds before offering a smile and nodding in response:

"Yes, Boss."

Hmph, a cog should know its place. I'm just building your skills—it's for your own good.

Leon nodded without a shred of guilt, planning to find a spot for an afternoon nap.

"Let me know when more candidates show up for interviews."
