Chapter 747 - Chapter 744: Probably an Acquaintance

"What kind of job is this? Go to a crowded place to be a guard?" Looking at the brief task description sent by the other party, Renault frowned.

"Well, there's no other way, it's a job." MDR shrugged her shoulders and pointed to the commission payment. "But they pay a lot! Look! Look at this price! It can catch up with the earnings from the last vegetable sale!"

"Tsk, being a guard isn't as leasure as selling vegetables. Once the goods are delivered and the money is received, the deal is settled, and it's much easier to just leave."

To be honest, Renault now looks down on these commissions. After all, you can easily make money by selling vegetables, so why bother with these thankless and hard-earned commissions?

What's more, this kind of high-priced guard commission, especially when it involves protecting the lives and safety of others, isn't easy for dolls as action personnel.

The main location seems to be a famous luxury hotel. It seems the military is going to hold a press conference there, followed by a banquet or something.

Of course, the specific place and time aren't mentioned. These details may only be known after Renault discusses them with the other party.

The premise is that Renault accepts the commission.

But since the other party has already provided the general details of the commission, if you want to investigate, you can definitely find out.

After all, it's a public event like a press conference. How can you not find it?

"Uh? The military is going to cooperate with Griffin to conduct exercises? Do they need to hold a press conference just for this?" MDR asked, looking at the various news reports. She scratched her head in surprise.

She couldn't figure it out anyway. What's the point of holding a press conference for such a small matter? If they really want to do it, why not start with Sangvis Ferri first?

Isn't it okay to hold a press conference after the matter is done? Anyway, most of the areas occupied by Sangvis Ferri are contaminated zones. There are no people in those places. Even if the military does something, no ordinary people will see it.

Of course, the reason is definitely not as simple as MDR thought, but this is not a problem she needs to think about.

"Then... commander, do you want to accept this commission?" MDR scratched her head. Although this commission looks a bit strange, especially the high price offered by the other party, it always feels like a bit of a loss if you don't take it up.

"Leave it alone for now. If they are anxious, they will call me."

MDR was stunned, then shrugged helplessly. Other security contractors actively contact customers, but you have to wait for customers to call and ask.

You can't do business like this for long...

But to be honest, Renault is actually a little confused about what Cyber Media is planning.

Because it was a press conference held by the military, and the content was about joint exercises with Griffin, the security of the venue would most likely be handled by Griffin.

Since Griffin's tactical dolls were already responsible for security, why did these guys from Cyber Media seek them out separately?

He couldn't figure out the reason. If the other party really just found a security contractor at random, then Renault didn't need to rush over and make trouble for himself.

If the other party really had to use Renault for some reason, then he would consider whether to take this order.

For a task like escorting, it would be better if both parties could reach a certain consensus. Otherwise, if the employer was daydreaming all day, what was the need for an escort?

But it was obvious that Cyber Media really attached great importance to this press conference. MDR had just about to leave the workshop when Renault's cell phone rang in his pocket.

MDR immediately became alert when she heard the ringing of his cell phone. She rushed to the clothes rack, snatched the work from Scarecrow, took out the cell phone from her pocket, and handed it to Renault.

"This is Renault. Who is this?" Renault raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Long time no see! Boss Renault! I am Geralt!"

"Huh? Who is that?" MDR beside her tilted her head, wondering where she had heard the name Geralt before.

"It's the guy from Universal Anything. He seemed to be the director of a branch before. I don't know what he is doing now."

Scarecrow didn't forget. After all, Geralt was a guy who brought money. The most important thing was that he also sent Renault a very useful navigation permit.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Renault scratched his eyebrows in surprise and asked Geralt. He thought the person who called would be someone from Cyber Media, but he didn't expect it to be Geralt.

"Of course, but has Boss Renault received the commission? If I remember correctly, it should have been sent."

"The commission from Cyber Media? Did you switch to that place?"

"No, no, no, how could that be? It's just a commission from a friend. They want you to help protect their media staff."

"This kind of thing can be done by any security company, right? And the security of that press conference is handled by Griffin. There is no reason for me to go to someone else's place and cause trouble for them, right?"

"Ahem, sorry, actually it's like this. Cyber Media has a cooperative TV station, but their interviewers didn't have time to catch the plane to the press conference venue, and recently, the plane going in that direction has already been delayed, so..."

"Oh, that's easy. It's just picking someone up. It's not difficult. Wherever you are, I'll go directly..."

"Wait! Wait! Mr. Renault, the main problem is not this. Picking someone up is really just a matter of convenience. Although the Cyber Media staff can't make it there without you, the more important reason is that Cyber Media is worried that the military will attack them during the exercise."

"Huh? Wait? You said exercise? Isn't the commission to protect Cyber Media's interviewers during the press conference?"

Renault took the tablet back from MDR with some surprise and reconfirmed the commission form. It was indeed written that he was responsible for ensuring the personal safety of Cyber Media employees during the press conference.

"Well, this, in fact, the joint exercise between the military and Griffin is also considered a part of the press conference..."

Well, if it is counted strictly, after all, showing people the combat capabilities of the new generation of tactical dolls is the purpose of this press conference.

"In other words, we have to go to the press conference and participate in the subsequent exercises?"

Is this possible? Would the military allow security contractors other than Griffin to be present at the exercise site?

It was impossible.
