Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Hu Youran was sitting quietly in the living room. Her daughter and son-in-law were guarding her granddaughter Hu Xue. At this time, Hu Youran's face was a little heavy, but she was happy in her heart.

Hu Youran had no idea that Le Xiao would reveal the truth. From Hu Xue's intermittent answers, Hu Youran basically understood what happened during the entire incident.

Le Xiao's sudden truth announcement was definitely not the intention of the acting department. Hu Youran can be sure of this, because he has to go on the live broadcast from 7 to 8 o'clock tonight, and the content he said is still the same as in the past, so as to let as many people as possible People feel at ease.

Just now, Hu Youran made a phone call to the director, asking if he still wanted to follow the instructions given to him in the morning. However, the other director sighed and told him to control himself and not make wild claims.

Hu Youran felt confident. He naturally knew what to do and what to say, but after thinking a lot, he still felt that he had to be more prudent and expand this tiny flame in line with the truth announced by Le Xiao.

As he expected, the market for the middle and upper class has risen to its peak within the controllable range given by the business department. Moreover, all merchants have risen to the peak in one fell swoop. In principle, the price increase cannot exceed the normal market. 10% of the price, and must be based on the actual situation of each district.

In the highest district, the price of most commodities has increased by 8%. The more expensive the items, the more they have increased. But this is enough to affect the lives of some ordinary people in the middle and upper classes.

However, Hu Youran's sudden change of heart led to a buying frenzy, causing many people to lose a few hundred yuan, and even thousands to tens of thousands.

Over the years, merchants will never let go of any price increase. This kind of thing has happened countless times.

But Hu Youran discovered that the food supply and the supply of most commodities this morning had not decreased, but were still maintained at normal levels, and most of the resources had begun to quietly go to the bottom.

Therefore, Hu Youran concluded that the food association, which is closely related to life, must have some big problem. Big businessmen will hoard supplies. This is to cope with the market and make a profit when the market goes up, supply is insufficient, and prices rise. When market prices are low, shipments are reduced.

Hu Youran didn't dare to think about what happened next, because from her granddaughter's mouth, she learned about the tragic situation of seeing some sick people in the barrier area. Hu Youran immediately understood that among the food distributed last time in the barrier area, there was a batch of poisonous food. He was not dealt with by Blue Sky Company, but was secretly taken out by some middle- and lower-level businessmen.

The harm is caused by ignorance, layers of deception, fermentation and finally fusion.

"It's still not too late, as long as we can do it as we always do this time."

Hu Youran also plans to take the whole family to walk around and play around after finishing this show. The most important thing is the condition of his granddaughter Hu Xue.

Le Xiao blushed, holding the water bottle, and filling it up with Leona and Ivy who were dealing with things. Then she looked around and saw that everyone's water glasses in the conference room were full and everyone was silent. With.

The secretaries were also busy. Le Xiao felt a little ashamed, and her cheeks were still burning.

Economic problems are not the problem, and so are the handling of various protest documents in the city. No matter how they are dealt with, it is a big trouble. She can only look at it blankly. Some permission documents are the same. Le Xiao glances at them and instantly feels Head knotted.

"Go get us some desserts. I want the best one from the one in District 1."

Locke said and looked at Le Xiao angrily. Le Xiao nodded immediately and counted the people in the room. There were 12 section chiefs and 12 secretaries, plus Deguna and Michelle, a total of 29 people. Add yourself 30.

One cake per person, such a big pile, something strange appeared in Le Xiao's mind.

She was carrying the cake on the street, and it was still very difficult, but Le Xiao immediately shook her head.

"I'll write down what you guys want to eat, and I'll buy it right away."

"I want a matcha-flavored layer cake, at least 32 inches."

Niya started talking first and immediately licked her mouth excitedly. Leona also started talking excitedly for a while, and Ivy next to her was also moved, because Locke said that the taste of Lifu Cake Shop is the best in the city. Absolutely, it’s good to buy it.

Le Xiao carefully recorded on the light and shadow screen. When it came to Deguna, she stared at Le Xiao.

"Whatever it is, bring me a large size. If you can't buy it, don't come back."

Seeing everyone's expectations, Le Xiao naturally knew about Li Fu Cake Shop. Although she had heard how delicious the cakes in that cake shop were, she had never eaten them before and she had long wanted to eat them.

Even if you can’t carry it, you can ask the store clerk to bring it to you!

After recording, Le Xiao walked out with a smile. The room fell into silence for a while. Michelle glanced at the door worriedly.

Le Xiao walked out of the General Affairs Department and could only stop and stop. Facing the clerk who greeted him, he smiled and nodded.

At this moment, I could see at a glance that the street opposite the General Affairs Department was still lively. It was just 2 o'clock, and the mutant examination had started again. Many people looked at it, but Le Xiao was uneasy walking on the street because there were always 5 people patrolling. Department personnel came to salute, but many people on the street always looked at me.

Le Xiao directly opened the map and entered an alley. After a while, he found Li Fu Cake Shop. The street was a bit deserted, but Le Xiao saw at a glance that there were dozens of people waiting.

Thinking that everyone was looking forward to their cake, Le Xiao walked over quickly.

"Boss, bring me 30 cakes, as shown above."

As soon as Le Xiao finished speaking, the crowd that was still talking fell silent. Le Xiao was stunned as he held up his mobile phone. The man in front of him had some colorful spots on his face and on his white clothes.

"Aren't you Mitchell?"

Le Xiao looked at it in surprise. Michelle's brother, Mitchell, was actually in the cake shop. He seemed to be a clerk.

"You brat, move quickly, be careful, serious, and patient. How many times have I told you, are you deaf?"

Li Fu's roar came from the back of the store, and Mitchell smiled awkwardly.

"You shouldn't be able to wait today. We won't do it after we finish this."

Mitchell said as he took a piece of leftover food and handed it over. Lexiao opened her mouth and immediately after eating, her eyes widened in surprise.

“It’s delicious!”

Le Xiao looked at the cakes being bought one by one with greedy eyes. At this time, several people walked up to Le Xiao nervously, holding the cakes.

"Master Le Xiao, why don't I give it to you."

Le Xiao shook her head hurriedly, but immediately someone next to her said something.

"If our boss knew, he would definitely be very happy."

"No, no, no."

Le Xiao still refused the person who wanted to give her a cake. The queue was getting smaller and smaller. There were less than seven or eight people left. Le Xiao was still leaning on the door of the store, thinking about how to convince the boss to make it for her. Thirty or forty.

Looking at Mitchell who was busy packing, Le Xiao felt incredible.

"I said, why are you working here? You are obviously a rich man."

Mitchell laughed, looked at Lexiao and shook his head.

"Aren't you the same? Are you happy working as a secretary?"

Le Xiao held her chin in her hand, but when she noticed someone watching next to her, she also smiled awkwardly.

"not bad!"

"Didn't you get scolded today?"

Mitchell asked in a low voice, Le Xiao became embarrassed, snorted coldly, folded her hands and ignored Mitchell.

A piece of leftover material was quietly placed in front of Lexiao's nose. She opened her mouth and bit it. Mitchell was startled.

"Are you going to eat my fingers off?"

At this time, the last box of cakes was also packed and taken away, and Li Fu finally walked out.

"Boss, I want 40 cakes!"

Public funds are used to buy food!

Lexiao's nose was itchy and she wanted to laugh. She felt very happy. She took out 30 of the 40 cakes and kept 10 for herself. She could eat them for 10 days. She was very happy just thinking about it.

"No business today."

Le Xiao's eyes widened and she immediately lay down on the counter.

"Boss, please be accommodating. How about I pay you a little more? Can you give me an extra 50 cents for a cake?"

Mitchell burst out laughing, Li Fu frowned slightly and stared at Lexiao sideways.

"Don't say I won't do it for 5 cents, 100, 1,000, or 10,000. If you say I won't do it, I won't do it."

With Le Xiao's open mouth, the store door closed. She sat helplessly at the door of the store, remembering Deguna's words not to go back if she couldn't buy it.

At this time, Mitchell walked out of the alley next to him, still wearing clothes, and Li Fu was also there.

"What's wrong with it? If you don't sell it, you won't sell it. Everyone says your cake is delicious, so I came to buy it."

Li Fu snorted coldly, ignored Le Xiao and walked away. Le Xiao stood up in anger and didn't know what to say.

"Boss, I think I'm ready to start training. How about I do it for her?"

"up to you!"

As she said this, Le Xiao became excited for a moment, but when she thought that it was Mitchell who did it, she felt like she was finished.

"Don't look down on me. I have been working here for almost a year. Also, the reason why the boss is not in a good temper today is because today is the anniversary of his wife's death."

"That's true! Anyway, please say sorry to him on my behalf."

A few minutes later, Lexiao looked at the kitchen and saw a large ball of dough on a cutting board. Mitchell walked over and kneaded it vigorously.

"There are still a lot of fermented noodles. Let alone 40, we can make 100."

There are more than 20 ovens used for making cakes all around.

"It just takes some time. It may not be done until 3 o'clock. Seeing as you are in such a hurry, are you your boss?"

"It's for 12 section chiefs, 12 secretaries, 4 former section chiefs, your sister, and me."

Mitchell was a little shocked that the section chief's secretaries were actually gathered in the General Affairs Section, and Le Xiao suddenly seemed to remember something.

"I almost forgot, there is also the steward."

Thinking of Locke Jiahui's angry face, Le Xiao felt something was wrong. She always felt that she owed him a lot. This was also true. While serving tea and pouring water, Le Xiao thought about something. What she did today was solid. She slapped Locke in the face. Although she had apologized repeatedly, Locke still looked unhappy.

"let me help you."

Le Xiao said, looked around, and took off his uniform. Now every time he takes off his uniform, Le Xiao always feels a chill on his back.

Lexiao was helping Mitchell cut cheese, but Mitchell came over immediately.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing the irregular pieces of cheese cut out by Lexiao, as well as the butter and a lot of seasonings next to it, making it a mess, Mitchell, who was kneading the dough, couldn't stand it.

"Thanks to you for being a woman, my eldest sister makes the most delicious food."

Le Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"I used to eat liquid food all the time, and I didn't know how to cook!"

Le Xiao recalled in her mind that the things she had made in elementary school were a big, dark pot. As a result, her mother and her cousin's family who came to the house that day didn't even eat a single bite of food. Le Xiao ate for three days before eating her own food. Finish eating what you made.

"Forget it, you use telekinesis so well, help me knead the dough, just make it even."

Le Xiao blushed and looked at Mitchell who looked expectant. At this time, the door to the room was opened, and Li Fu came back holding a pot of flowers and looked at him the same way.

"Why are you doing this? I can't stand it anymore."

After Li Fu placed the flowers, he asked Mitchell to continue kneading the dough, and took a kitchen knife to directly cut the ingredients needed for the cake.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't know I was your wife just now."

“Who is going to give the cake?”

"The general manager of the general affairs department, the secretary-general, the section chiefs and secretaries of the 12 departments, four former section chiefs, and... And me!"

Li Fu laughed slightly and shook his head helplessly.

"Just wait, I'll make it for you."

Le Xiao happily thanked her again and again. Li Fu worked quickly, and his scarred hands were handling each material very carefully and softly. Le Xiao had already turned on the light and shadow screen.

"By the way, there are 31 people, why do you want 40 cakes?"

Le Xiao swallowed and smiled.

"secret!"

"Isn't it because you want to keep it for yourself?"

Le Xiao immediately retorted.

"Nowhere."

Both Mitchell and Li Fu looked at Le Xiao, her little thoughts were shattered at the first glance.

"By the way, Secretary, can I ask you a question?"

Le Xiao nodded.

"What kind of considerations are you going for when you announce the truth today? After all."

"Is there anything wrong with publishing the truth? Besides, I have been scolded several times, and now my head hurts."

Li Fu was a little surprised, and Mitchell turned his head.

"Why did you tell us such a thing? Does it mean that the section chiefs didn't know and you announced it privately?"

Le Xiao nodded and immediately covered her mouth.

"What about my eldest sister!"

"The secretary-general helped me."

Mitchell looked at Le Xiao in shock. For a moment, the image of the eldest sister appeared in his mind. That strict person would do such a thing. Mitchell didn't believe it.

Li Fu laughed loudly and had already put some carefully carved cakes into the oven.

After seeing that the two of them had basically finished their work, Mitchell and Li Fu took some time off, and Le Xiao gave them water.

"Phalaenopsis, the purple one is quite beautiful."

Le Xiao looked at the pot of flowers in the corner, and suddenly remembered that she had wanted a pot of flowers so much before, but now she had money.

Public funds are used to buy flowers!

Le Xiao immediately thought of Tang Rao. She had such a good relationship with Jean. If you go to her store to buy it, you will definitely get a discount, preferably a 15% discount.

"Evil thoughts have escaped."

Mitchell reminded, Le Xiao shook her head hurriedly.

"No ah?"

"My wife used to like it very much, but unfortunately, she died very young."

Lexiao put away her smile.

"Then your wife must be very beautiful!"

Li Fu shook his head.

"In my eyes she is very beautiful, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is fat and has a bad temper."

Mitchell laughed, Lexiao also smiled, and a faint smile appeared on Li Fu's face.

"She died of a poisoning accident."

Le Xiao looked at Li Fu in surprise, and Mitchell immediately explained.

"In the past, there was an extremely serious water pollution incident in the city that resulted in the death of many people on the ground floor from heavy metal poisoning."

Lexiao swallowed.

"If the truth had been announced two months earlier, maybe my wife could have been saved, but the truth came too late. She missed the best opportunity for treatment, and I became paralyzed."

Li Fu said and lifted his left leg mechanically. He smiled bitterly. Le Xiao felt a little sad for a moment, and she nodded.

At this time Li Fu stood up and continued to work, with Mitchell also helping.

"The truth is sometimes cruel, but if people did not have the truth, then this world would not exist. You have done a good job, better than many powerful people I have seen."

"I will work hard."

Li Fu hummed.

"If you have time tomorrow, accompany me back to the ground floor to see Mitchell."

Mitchell smiled and nodded.

"Oh, let's not talk anymore, let's do it quickly, let them all have a taste of our craftsmanship, you kid, be careful. If I die, this skill will be handed over to you kid, but your kid's family has money."

"I won't go back. I like running in the city under the sun. I like the feeling of being on the streets. It's quite comfortable. There's nothing wrong with working part-time. I can slowly save some money, buy a house, and find an ordinary person I like to get married. , just live this life happily."

Le Xiao stood up in surprise.

"I think so too, I hope I can retire soon!"

Li Fu burst out laughing.

"You are so trouble-making that you want to retire? I don't think it's possible."

At around 3 o'clock, Le Xiao was carrying cakes in both hands, and Mitchell was carrying a pile of cakes, and followed Le Xiao into the General Affairs Department.

At this time, Mitchell wanted to laugh, but he still held it back. He finally understood the reason why the eldest sister had been secretly sad during this period. Such a living treasure would really torture the people in the business department to death. When Le Xiao told him When his identity, education, mutant status, etc. were all fake, Mitchell almost fell to the ground.

But now it seems that the little girl promoted by Jean, whom the eldest sister respects very much, is correct and very bright. No matter from which angle you look at it, the little girl in front of you is right.

Mitchell has seen many powerful people, but never one like Le Xiao.

Mitchell successfully followed Le Xiao to the door of the solemn General Affairs Section Chief's conference room. Although some people wanted to stop him along the way, they didn't ask any questions when they thought of the relationship between them.

The door opened little by little, and Mitchell felt a heavy sense of oppression. In front of him was the peak of power in Brilliant City. Such an atmosphere made him feel breathless. Everyone sitting inside was... The person standing at the top of the Brilliant City.

"I bought it, everyone can eat it, it's freshly baked."

As soon as Le Xiao opened his mouth, the chilling air in the air disappeared, and everything returned to normal.

"Did you really buy it?"

Niya looked at Lexiao in surprise, while Deguna frowned.

"Why would you bring outsiders in?"

Le Xiao froze on the spot, and Michelle walked over directly, helped her brother Mitchell take down the boxes of cakes, then walked out, turned around and closed the door respectfully.

"This working environment is a bit scary, sister!"

"Don't you have any brains? How could you follow her up here?"

Mitchell smiled, put his arm around Michelle's shoulders, and leaned his head towards her.

"Sister, don't think about it, can she handle it?"

Michelle's face was solemn, and Mitchell started running.

"Sister, if you have time, you can come to me for dinner at any time!"

Michelle leaned helplessly against the door, folding her hands.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you hear me? Also, if you want me to treat you to dinner, just ask."

Mitchell stopped and smiled mischievously.

"Sister, I think you feel a little more relaxed. Let's go home together when we have time."

Maybe, it's because of that little girl that everyone has changed!
