Start the era of black technology

United States, Space Agency

At the beginning of a new day, the employees began to work normally. On the second basement level, in the Confidential Archives Management Office, Old Charlie is already sixty years old this year, and he can retire completely in a few months.

According to the agreement, you will get a large pension, enough to maintain financial freedom, you can walk around and spend the rest of your life smartly.

Today, I was in a very good mood. I came to the desk where I was on duty, cleaned it up, and it was neat and tidy. This desk has been with me for more than 20 years in the National Space Agency, and I have already had feelings.

Sit down and slowly compensate for the coffee that I bought at a high price. Anyway, I am about to retire. It is normal to enjoy it in advance. As for the integration of coffee, a staff member from the Human Resources Department is here.

"Hello Charlie, the coffee tastes very strong," the staff member said with a smile.

"Not bad, I will retire in a few months, and I should treat myself better" Old Charlie said with a smile, and this one also smiled.

"I'm Tim Hagen from the Personnel Department" Tim Hagen introduced himself and shook hands with Old Charlie.

"What files are needed?" Old Harry asked politely.

"NO, Harry, I'm not here to find the archives, I'm here to find you, I need to talk to you about retirement," Tim Hagen looked at Charlie and said.

Tim Hagen was also very helpless in his heart. There was no other way. The superiors overwhelmed the matter and could only handle the matter by himself.

After handling Charlie's affairs, his reputation would be ruined, but if he didn't handle it, his job would be difficult to preserve, he still had loans to repay, and he would go bankrupt if he lost his job.

Old Charlie was shocked, looking at Tim Hagen's face, with a bad feeling in his heart, and asked "what's the matter".

"Charlie, I am here on behalf of the General Administration. You will retire in five months, but your contract with the company will end in one and a half months."

"I want to ask you, will you renew until you retire?" Tim Hagen asked, looking at Old Charlie.

"Just talk about it, when I am my age, there is no need to circumscribe." Old Charlie looked at Tim Hagen directly.

Tim Hagen hesitated, the expression on his face became firm, "Charlie, the General Administration can renew your contract, but your salary will be paid at 30%."

"If you do not agree to this condition, you are not renewing the contract."

"You are not afraid that I will go to the labor department to sue you. I think the big guys in the General Administration are not willing to carry this scandal on their backs," Charlie said rudely.

Charlie didn't give it in vain. I've seen this kind of thing more than once. It usually happened to a colleague. I didn't expect it to happen to him.

I was very angry. Those people were treated this way because they had only joined the space agency for a few years, and they had been working for 28 years.

Tim Hagen understood the anger of Old Charlie, and this was the fundamental reason why his superiors were unwilling to come over and do this, and pressed himself.

In the United States, if you don’t renew your contract with an elderly person who has been working for decades and is about to retire, you are challenging the moral bottom line of the public, and it will definitely arouse the sympathy of the media and verbal criticism.

The personnel commissioner handling this matter is definitely an existence that hates ghosts, and the reputation is stinky throughout the unit. Tim Hagen knows the consequences and is unwilling to take over this matter.

But who made Tim Hagen a newcomer, he was just two months into the job, and he was a qualified backer.

Moreover, the 70% of the old Charlie's salary and benefits are not really left. Instead, they entered the unit's small vault according to the unspoken rules and will be converted to internal benefits.

It is reasonable and legal. You can't fault anyone. As for how to use the welfare fund, it depends on what the leader means. Even if the leader uses the money to raise the secret, you can't help it.

Leaders eat meat, are responsible for managing the welfare fund and drinking soup, and everyone tacitly makes money for themselves. This is an unspoken rule that many people know.

"Charlie, we settled this matter calmly. Think about your pension, medical bills, etc., these add up to a lot of money."

"Now the unit has to pay you up to five thousand U.S. dollars a month for various insurance expenses, and at the same time, it also bears your monthly salary of seven thousand U.S. dollars and a subsidy of more than two thousand U.S. dollars."

"If you promise to halve expenses and benefits in the past few months, you can get a full pension smoothly"

"Not renewing the contract at the expiration date does not violate any law. At most, I, a little man, lost his job. It is not good for us."

"If I had a choice, I would definitely not come to you to talk about this. Whoever let me fucking only took a job for two months, this dirty thing fell on my head" Tim Hagen looked at Charlie Directly burst into foul language.

Old Charlie was very angry. If he didn't have a job, he would have to pay for the insurance cost of more than five thousand dollars, and he had to pay for more than three months as four months.

This requires a cost of more than 20,000 U.S. dollars. Moreover, your personal retirement procedures are complicated, not to mention the delay, and you also need to hire a lawyer. All kinds of expenses add up to at least 50,000 U.S. dollars in expenses.

The two of them stopped talking, and the atmosphere was very heavy. After a while, Old Charlie's expression became firm, looking at Tim Hagen.

"Okay, I promise. Come on with your contract and I'll sign it" Old Charlie said this sentence very readily.

Tim Hagen was stunned. He really didn't expect to be so happy. The original plan was to force Lao Cha to get a haircut and hit himself directly, so that he could not prosecute Old Charlie in exchange for Old Charlie's signature.

Unexpectedly, Old Charlie agreed directly. Tim Hagen responded quickly and took out the relevant contract directly from the briefcase next to him and completed the formalities with Old Charlie.

Before leaving, he turned to look at Old Charlie, bowed deeply, and then turned to the elevator and left.

Old Charlie had a dark face all day today and did not go to the cafeteria for lunch. He drove home straight after get off work in the afternoon and had a big meal when he got home.

Without scruples, even the food the doctor forbidden to eat was also eaten, and the drunk went directly to bed.

The next day, I got up, took a shower and changed my clothes, went to my study and took out a small cube from the drawer, made of ivory.

This is a small camera that can evade various known electronic inspections. It must go through strict security checks when working at the NASA and commuting.

This kind of small camera made of ivory will not be detected at all. The value is very high, more than two hundred thousand US dollars per unit. The average person cannot buy this product at all.

The expression on his face was struggling for a while, and finally, the expression on his face became firm, and when he picked it up, he put it directly into his bag, and left home with the bag and drove to work.

Passed various inspections smoothly, went to the locker room to change clothes, put the small camera in his pocket, made a cup of coffee, and sat down at his desk.

Soon, someone came to look for the files with the formalities. Old Charlie completed the formalities and asked the man to wait, enter the archives room and start to retrieve the files.

As a veteran who has worked for twenty-eight years, it only takes less than one minute to find the file accurately, but this time, it took Old Charlie four minutes to bring the file out and hand it to the person who came.

In the extra four minutes, Old Charlie took photos of some files. In order not to arouse people's suspicion, I didn't take many shots each time, so I took my time.

Days passed, and it took a whole month for Old Charlie to finish taking pictures. After returning home, he began to organize the information.

Specially use a newly purchased laptop to organize, without any network connection, organize the content of the photos into a file after finishing.

After saving it, I disassembled the laptop directly, and then cleaned up some pieces of the laptop every day, which were all pulled away by the garbage truck.

Only the computer's hard drive was left. After it was saved, Old Charlie began to carry out his second plan.

I took a cold shower and made myself sick. I took sick leave. Anyway, the insurance company is responsible for the cost of medical treatment, so I don’t worry at all.

After intermittently for about a month, I took the hospital certificate and went to the Human Resources Department of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to handle early retirement. According to the law, near-retirees who are sick and unable to work can apply for retirement in advance within a certain period of time.

This time, Old Charlie's attitude was very firm. He was sick and old, and he didn't know if he could pass the test. He had to retire, even if it caused a partial reduction in his pension, it was acceptable.

People in the personnel department kept persuading that old Charlie was gone, and the newcomer had to pay full salary and benefits. Unfortunately, this time old Charlie did not give in.

The day after the Ministry of Personnel turned his resignation, Old Charlie found a lawyer to handle the matter. This time, the Space Agency had no choice but to go through the retirement procedures for Old Charlie in accordance with the regulations.

In just one week, the pension belonging to Old Charlie was paid, but the pension was reduced by 8%.

Old Charlie sneered. The unit that he has worked for for twenty-eight years treats himself that way. Don't blame me for being unrighteous.

Soon, in just three days, Old Charlie sold all his real estate. The external excuse was to go to the nursing home for recuperation, and his health was no longer good.

No one doubted, so all the procedures were smoothly completed. After the money arrived, Old Charlie left the United States, went straight to Mexico, and then changed his identity to Brazil.

In Brazil, I changed my status and went to Argentina. In Argentina, I once again spent money to go to Africa. Finally, I spent money in Africa and returned to Portugal.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Pingan's mission of 50 million euros to acquire manned space data on the dark web was accepted. The dark web account used was an account in the United States.
