Chapter 670 - 644: Troubles
Who proposes the problem resolves it, let Panetta have a headache over it.
But right now, Panetta, who had changed his mind, couldn’t be bothered about how to arrange things for Gao Yi, after all, this matter wasn’t urgent.
"You go meet up with your people, I’ll arrange for someone to get you out a bit later. Be careful during this time, don’t wander around until things stabilize, we’ll talk more once the situation is stable."
At this point, Panetta wasn’t using a commanding tone with Gao Yi. He adjusted his mindset swiftly and no longer intended to bring Gao Yi under his leadership but saw him as a collaborator, certainly equal, with less status and experience.
So strictly speaking, what Panetta said here should be a suggestion.
Gao Yi nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll go back and organize the list. Those who have meritorious service indeed deserve a reward."
"How about Joelson?"
Just now, just a moment ago, Panetta talked about promoting Joelson, wanted to make him deputy director, but now he’s asking how Joelson is.
The reason is simple, just a moment ago, Panetta wanted to use Joelson to check Gao Yi, elevate his status, give him real power, make him a strong figure in the CIA, at least have the strength to handle Gao Yi.
But now, Panetta sees Gao Yi as someone who can be entrusted with things after his time, so Joelson shouldn’t pose any threat to Gao Yi.
At least within the small group led by Panetta, there can’t be someone who fully suppresses Gao Yi.
