Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Chapter 1304 Focused Gaze (Part 2)

The steaming soy milk and fried dough sticks were freshly baked, and the aroma spread throughout the restaurant. A clerk struggled to lift a bucket of soy milk and a box of fried dough sticks to the dining room on the third floor. More than a dozen tables were all filled with people, and everyone was sitting there. There were more than 50 men and women wearing parliamentary uniforms, all looking out the window at the subway station diagonally opposite. At this time, a large number of reporters who were allowed to interview had passed through the human wall built by the administrative department and went to the Angus couple. around.

Lin Min was among them. She held her hands and stared sharply, as if she had something on her mind. She had had a debate with Le Xiao in the Congress Hall before, and at that time she discovered that this girl was completely different from other high-ranking people in the executive branch. Different, more like an ignorant little girl that can be seen everywhere on the street.

A somewhat bitter smile appeared at the corner of Lin Min's mouth. In the 60 lower-level districts, there are 600 members, two-thirds of them are members of the middle and upper classes, and belong to different factions.

The MPs gathered in the house now are all non-factional MPs, and Lin Min is even more so. She was originally the district council representative of District 113, but after the joint riots in 113 and 114, Lin Min had nothing. Fortunately, A member of District 108's term expired. In desperation, she turned to a former friend, middle-level member Elena, for help.

In the end, Elena's faction accepted her, and soon Lin Min went to District 109 to succeed her, but she could only follow orders. During the last hearing in the Congress Hall, she was the first to be thrown out. The people behind wanted to see Le Xiao's attitude, or to test Xingke's attitude.

Although there were some bumps in the matter last time, it was still completed, and Elena was satisfied. After this incident, Lin Min rarely participated in gatherings of members of their faction because she felt uncomfortable.

The reason why she took the path of becoming a parliamentarian is because Lin Min was also born in a slum. She has witnessed countless turmoils at the bottom. She really wants to change the situation at the bottom, but the reality is helpless and desperate. She had tried countless times, shouted and fought for everything in the neighborhood, but she had no strength.

Lin Min glanced around and found that many of the council members in the room hoped to use Le Xiao to come here, have a good relationship with her, and get something from Le Xiao. These council members came from many districts at the bottom, and they were all from the bottom. Factional MPs are usually the mouthpiece of factional MPs or a tool for certain periods of time, or more like a vote in Congress. They receive some financial help from factional MPs, and most people rely on this money to survive. Members' votes.

Once the general election begins, these people will provide some benefits to some people in the area, and they will naturally vote for these people.

Lin Min also spent such days. She once wanted to recruit some like-minded friends to realize reforms in the region, but she gave up many years ago, but now Lin Min's heart is hot.

"Hello Miss Lin Min!"

Conveniently, a young man with a square face, Fei Xin, who was a first-time member of Parliament, had greeted Le Xiao in the Congress Hall before and talked about some things like the low-level environment. After that, he went to where Le Xiao lived to wait. It's been many days and I haven't seen Le Xiao.

"Can I sit next to you?"

Fei Xin was holding two bowls of soy milk, a plate of fried dough sticks, and a box of sugar. Lin Min nodded. After sitting down, Fei Xin looked at the light and shadow screen, where Mr. and Mrs. Angus were answering reporters' questions.

"The reason why our husband and wife came here is to congratulate Secretary Le Xiao on returning to her hometown to implement a congressional bill. This is also the first time she has implemented a bill. Our family has also said before that we are willing to support the barrier zone in the hands of Secretary Le Xiao. The establishment of the agricultural experimental base, we came here today hoping to discuss this issue with Secretary Le Xiao when she is free."

"Miss Violet, there are rumors that the Angus family will invest in the bottom class to a certain extent. Is it true or false?"

Violet smiled and shook her head.

“Our family doesn’t want to make a large investment for the bottom floor.”

At this time, there was a commotion behind him. A man with a cigar in his mouth, a white suit, a bloated figure, a slicked back hair, a dragon-shaped earring hanging on his left ear, a big nose, a full forehead and a high hairline walked up. , followed by many formally dressed people.

"Hey, isn't this Avano? What a coincidence."

The man glanced at Avano as soon as he came up, but did not dare to look at Violet.

Avano walked over and shook hands with the man enthusiastically. Many people behind him greeted Avano one after another. All of them had different camera patterns on their right arms. They were from the Film Association. Most of them came over. They are all the bosses and directors of the film company. The man headed by him is the chairman of Jiang Shi Film Group. Jiang Hao is the head of the Jiang family, the eight largest families in the city. He and Avano are classmates and friends, but they are basically very close. Time has not spoken.

Violet stared at Jiang Hao coldly, walked over, grabbed Avano, and planned to leave. Jiang Hao nodded hurriedly and bowed with a smile. Violet turned around and walked away. Some reporters followed, and some Reporters began to surround Jiang Hao, and the crowd began to separate.

Many people also appeared, including celebrities from the upper echelons, including some celebrities. Jiang Hao was still talking in front of the camera.

"The main reason we came here this time is to talk about the cinema construction proposal while Mr. Le Xiao is free. After all, she is a busy person and has no time to talk about these things recently."

"Mr. Jiang Hao, there are rumors that you are planning to make some small-budget movies, but these movies are too big."

Jiang Hao immediately looked unhappy and glared at the reporter who asked the question, and he began to curse in his heart.

What kind of guy doesn't care about life and death? Dare to let the news out!

"Okay, we plan to go to the reserved place in advance. Sorry."

After saying that, Jiang Hao led the people and walked quickly.

Lin Min and Fei Xin, who were sitting on the third floor of the restaurant opposite, watched quietly as people continued to pour out of the subway station.

"Wow, I have a terrible headache, but it's okay. It tastes so good. I want to eat soy milk!"

With a burst of exclamations, a beautiful and cute girl in a light blue skirt emerged from the subway station, followed by Wu Qun and Xingyuan. For a moment, the crowd began to commotion again, and some reporters were about to move closer. , the three directors of Section 1 immediately rejected their request for an interview.

Many people were confused because they had never seen this little girl before. One of the people around this little girl was the leader of the parliamentarian faction, the other was the famous writer Xing Yuan, and there was also a director guard from Section 1. It was very strange. Another puzzling combination.

"I didn't expect Wu Qun to come too."

Fei Xin said and Lin Min nodded.

"Your term is about to end in two or two months. Do you plan to give it a last try?"

Lin Min said with a smile, and Fei Xin hummed.

"Although I only had a few conversations with Secretary Le Xiao, I always felt that I could talk to her about the underlying environment."

It was already past 7 o'clock, and the sun's rays had only now spread to the ground floor, and the street lights on the street began to go out one by one.

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs, and the little girl entered the store. The entire District 118 began to become more and more lively with people constantly pouring out of the subway station.

"It's finished, I overslept."

After Le Xiao finished washing up in Michelle's office, she opened the light and shadow screen in a panic. It was almost time and she still had to put on makeup.

"Forget it, don't read it. You can say whatever you want. After all, you should know District 118 very well."

Michelle said, and Le Xiao's face immediately relaxed.

"Of course, Mr. Secretary-General, I grew up there, and"

Alpha dragged Le Xiao out of the office. Michelle frowned slightly. The makeup artist was already waiting at the door. Le Xiao was immediately taken to a room that had been prepared nearby and sat on a chair. She started to put on makeup, and she felt a little complicated at this time.

I'm just going home, is there any need for this?

Alpha watched the news quietly. The way she looked at Le Xiao, she probably didn't know that District 118 was as popular as the end of the year festival. All kinds of people flocked to District 118, and things became more complicated. .

There are still many people who want to enter Area 118, but Section 3 has blocked the access road dozens of minutes ago. Now there are more than 300,000 people in Area 118.

Alpha pressed her forehead with one hand. After seeing her parents and people from the film company passing by, she looked at Lexiao again.

Lexiao would have to go to the mutant examination site to serve as an examiner the day after tomorrow. Michelle originally planned to tell Le Xiao something in person tomorrow, but it seemed that time might not allow it. Michelle asked Alpha to watch the entire process directly, Find time to tell Le Xiao and go directly to the mutant examination site the day after tomorrow.

"That's all it can do now."

Alpha felt a little tired and inexplicably tired. At this time, Michelle came out and handed over a bottle of energy supplement.

"Drink a little and you'll feel better."

After Alpha said thank you, Michelle walked quickly to Locke's office.

Alpha unscrewed the bottle and drank the whole bottle quickly. The taste was a bit complicated, but not bad. She smiled and looked at Michelle who roughly opened the door to Locke's office.

"Your Excellency, Manager, can you please get up?"

Locke groaned and climbed up with difficulty, and walked out of the light and shadow compartment first. His wife was still asleep, so he wore red and blue spotted pajamas and sat beside the sofa with a painful expression.

"It will feel better if you drink it."

Snapped

Michelle put down a bottle of energy supplements, and Locke drank it with a miserable look on his face.

"Go and sleep until 10 o'clock, Michelle. I will complete the next work well."

Michelle shook her head.

"District 79 has sent a large amount of information to the General Affairs Department and needs us to review it."

Locke woke up and stood up with sharp eyes.

"How many people are there, District 118?"

"It has exceeded 300,000, and the viewing range has almost covered the entire city."

Locke sighed.

"That's good. I just hope that little girl can bear it."

"It's no longer up to her whether she wants it or not!"

"Except for the three-day New Year's Eve celebration at the end of the year, the city has not had such a sensation for many years."

Tang Rao let out a long puff of smoke. Witte and Li Chu nodded, and the three of them walked on a winding path. They planned to accompany Tang Rao to pay homage today.

Tang Rao's expression looked a little bitter, and the three of them were watching the live broadcast in Area 118.

"Everyone's eyes are drawn to it. Isn't this great? What happened last night is no longer worth mentioning."

Tang Rao chuckled.

"Why didn't that bastard Jean go?"

Werther shook his head.

"That idiot should be sunning himself on top of some building right now."

"I have already told the section chiefs to briefly explain what happened in Area 79 last night as soon as possible. However, that guy Le Wen has appeared recently. Do you want to capture him first? After all, he should already have a lot of good things in his hands. The result is right, otherwise he would not dare to appear so blatantly."

As Li Chu said this, both Tang Rao and Werther stopped and looked at him.

"You guy, at least wait until Jean leaves. Besides, his daughter is now the secretary of Section 13. Sooner or later he will hand it over voluntarily. After all, which father in the world is unwilling to support his daughter's work?"

Witte said and Li Chu nodded.

"That's right, it depends on when he and his daughter will recognize each other. I will first ask King Xue to formulate a countermeasure in case the father and daughter recognize each other one day. After all, that stupid girl's father is a criminal, so he must be punished. Only if his identity as a criminal is cleared."

Tang Rao laughed and walked quickly.

"Do you really think it's laundry detergent? Just wash it. How much harm those reformers who rioted from Bincai Company caused to the city back then have been completely exposed to the public. This matter will temporarily let King Xue know I'll feel more at ease if the boy handles it."

Located on the top floor of No. 1 Phoebes Resort Hotel Manor, Gene sat comfortably on the roof, holding a cigarette in one hand and pressing it on his left knee, looking northwest at the rooftop entrance behind him. Chu Ranzai walked up yawning.

"Are you really not going to go? Mr. Jean, that's..."

"Can you tell me why you helped Le Wen back then?"

Ran Zai scratched his head and sat over.

"Good people are rewarded, Mr. Jean. I often think about this question. What would have been the consequences if I had chosen to turn a blind eye?"

"Lewen is probably dead or controlled by the rioters, or he may still be in an underground prison."

Ran Zai hummed.

"Do you remember that after my grandfather was arrested, I used to hide from you on the street for a while?"

Gene nodded.

"Why run away?"

Ran Zai asked with an evil smile.

"Why can't you run away?"

"Have you found a way out?"

Ran Zai nodded.

"I remember it was a bit cold that day. I was cold and hungry. I had been hungry for a long time. I was thinking that it would be better to end this meaningless life as soon as possible. After all, no one passed by on the street stopped. , after all, this world is like this, but maybe it was my survival instinct that made me not want to find a place to die silently. I only remember that the uncle put down a can of liquid food at that time, and said that the only thing that could help me was this meal. , if I feel full and strong, I will go to the nearby orphanage, the director there is nice."

Gene laughed and blew out a puff of smoke.

"Is it really just because of this?"

"Mr. Jean, many things in this world are so careless. If you have been immersed in darkness for too long, as long as there is a glimmer of light, no matter who you are, you will want to catch it. Isn't that the same for you!"

Gene stood up, and a gust of breeze blew violently on his face. He raised his head slightly, and the golden sunlight hit the side of his face.

“Would you like some seafood for breakfast?”

"No! It's better to eat liquid food."

Ran Zai said as he took out two cans of liquid food from his pocket and threw them to Jean. After Jean caught them, the two opened the cans and started eating.
