Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Let mom take a good look."

Violet saw that all ten of her daughter's fingers were scratched, and what happened at her home in the afternoon made her extremely angry. Mo Xiao and her mother Mo Yingying stood by and smiled.

"It really pisses me off. That Eddie, I really don't know what's going on with the Hillman family. It's always been like this."

"Forget it, Violet, it's not a big deal. Many children are looking forward to tonight's dinner."

As Mo Yingying spoke, she saw several children in uniforms passing by the door. When they saw someone in the room, they bowed politely to say hello.

"Little lazy boy, come out and play with us."

"My name is Mo Xiao, I'm not going."

Mo Xiao pouted, and then Mo Yingying went to close the door of the room.

"Alfa, Mo Xiao, the classmates in your school pay great attention to etiquette. I always think it's great!"

"Mom, you don't know, if you are not polite, you will be beaten up by Fat Brother."

Alpha laughed, but when he saw his mother looking at his hands that had begun to swell with distress, Alpha said many times that he did not need a doctor, such a minor injury would be healed after a sleep.

"Mom, it's okay. Don't look away. I want to go out and play with my classmates."

Alpha said, walked over, grabbed Mo Xiao and walked outside.

There was always worry in Violet's eyes, and she always felt that although her daughter was in good condition now, it would not be a good thing for a girl if this continued in the long run.

"Don't worry, Mo Xiao is with her and Violet."

On the lawn, students from many schools were helping. Locke was directing the students with his hands on his hips. Many girls were placing dishes and chopsticks. Locke looked at the students' happy faces. The unpleasantness that happened this afternoon was also revealed. It was all gone, but the three guys hadn't come back yet. This was what Locke was worried about.

"Okay Whit, don't be angry, there's nothing to be angry about."

Locke walked to Whit's side. She was still sulking. Although the boy King Xue had talked a lot with Whit just now, the boy usually had a vicious mouth, which seemed to have the opposite effect.

"Fat brother, tell me, this kind of thing is not necessary at all. When I see naughty children, I will take the initiative to stop them. The reason why children are children is because they often do things without considering the consequences, and ah."

"Okay, okay, come here and take the girls to play in the sea of ​​flowers for a while, and then come back when the sun goes down."

At this time, a boy came over and Locke took a look.

"What's wrong Heathcote?"

"Fat brother, can I ask you something?"

Locke sighed, and after a while the two of them came to a quiet place next to the residence.

"Tell me, what's the matter with your kid?"

"Do you think the law can solve the problem just now?"

Locke glanced at this boy from a family of lawyers and laughed.

"If we can solve it, we won't need managers."

In an underground facility located behind the Angus family's main mansion, Avano's eyes widened in surprise.

"Is there really such a thing?"

"Noah, how can you tell others such a thing."

Noah stood up angrily. He was using instruments on the electromagnetic orbit to measure the density of the orbital metal.

"What does it matter? Strictly speaking, he is not an outsider, he is Alpha's father."

As soon as Alpha was mentioned, Noah became quiet and continued to measure.

Avano continued to take Noah to look at the construction drawings of the city's underground transportation network.

"Mr. Avano, I don't know much about construction, but let me remind you that even if the problem of electromagnetic effects is solved, the most critical point is the dispatching of trains, which cannot be completed correctly by human power. , and if AI is used, if there is even the slightest cyber attack, the entire city's transportation network will be in trouble. Didn't you see what happened to the Huosen family recently?"

Avano hummed, thinking that Noah was right.

"Okay, let's go up there first, and then come down and continue after eating."

Noah shook his head.

"I won't go. I still want to see what's here. Those broken machines, just let me help you fix them."

At this time, Noah put down the instrument, dragged Noah and started walking.

“It’s a pretty uniform, but it just makes people feel uncomfortable.”

"Earning."

Freya accepted Wu Qun's words, and the two stepped onto the lawn of Angus' house side by side, watching the young children busy at work.

Looking at the black uniforms worn by these children, they are very three-dimensional, with sharp edges and corners, and very graceful lines. It seems that they have been designed and polished for a long time.

"Freya, I'm going to say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Angus first."

Charles said that he originally wanted to attend the meeting, but in the end he listened to Freya and came to Angus' house.

Wu Qun and Freya walked casually among some students. Looking at these students, they found that many of them were meticulous in doing things, very serious, and had strong hands-on ability. Walking among these students, the two They all felt an invisible pressure.

"If these guys become managers, we should have good opponents."

Wu Qun said, and as soon as he looked towards the mansion, his eyes widened and he started running excitedly. Freya didn't quite understand, but soon he saw a familiar person, Nuo Ya, that talented boy who disappeared just one year after entering school, unexpectedly appeared here.

"If you want to see Alpha, just say so."

Noah said with a smile. Noah seemed a little embarrassed. He dragged Noah and planned to enter the mansion, but at this time he heard a shout.

"You are Noah, I am Wu Qun, do you remember?"

The two stopped and watched two people older than themselves, a man and a woman, coming over. Noah stared directly at Freya.

"so beautiful."

Only then did Noah see Wu Qun, and after thinking for a while, he said.

"It's Lao Wu, why are you here? Hello Freya, long time no see."

Freya was also very surprised. Noah, who had disappeared for a year, actually appeared here, and he was wearing this uniform. Everything in front of them immediately understood what they were seeing, and they thought of the lift.

"They are classmates who studied in the same place before."

After Noah greeted the two of them respectively, he saw Alpha and Mo Xiao coming out and immediately approached them.

"It's been almost 7 years, Noah. During this time, I have been looking for you, but I haven't found you."

"Of course you can't find me. I am the first batch of people to enter the Academy of God. Old Wu, Freya, what have you been doing recently!"

Freya pursed her lips and smiled and shook her head, and Wu Qun sat next to Noah.

"Thank you, I've had a good few years."

Noah stood up and looked at the two smiling people on the steps with his hands in his pockets. He was a little surprised, or really surprised, because there were people who were worried about his safety. This was something Noah had never seen before. Unexpected.

Now Noah finally understood that when the woman C left school this morning, she told him that she was strictly prohibited from telling anyone how she got here.

"Thank you very much!"

Wu Qun shook his head.

"I just think you are very interesting, so I wanted to know where you went. I didn't expect that it took me so long to find you, but you turned out to be here."

Freya put her chin in her hands and smiled.

"It is true that you are very smart, and you are always arrogant. In other words, in front of you, there is only the end point you want to pursue, and this end point is very clear, so clear that you must chase it. What is your end point? ?”

Noah held up a finger and shook it.

"It's not the end, but the end of science. What exactly is it? What do you think?"

Wu Qun and Freya both shook their heads.

"It's a pity that we are not as smart as you Noah. You have to find this problem by yourself, but it is really surprising that we may become opponents in the future."

Wu Qun said, Noah smiled and nodded.

"That's for sure. Keep up the good work, I'm going back to the underground research room."

"Aren't you tired? You are still the same as before."

Freya was a little surprised. Although it was only a short year, she would meet this maverick guy from time to time. Under Wu Qun's introduction, she also got to know this guy. She felt that this guy was really arrogant, but he was not. Arrogant in the true sense, what Freya saw in Noah was innocence. He was like a man who always held on to his favorite toy and would always happily talk to the people around him with this toy. The advantages of this toy are the same for children.

Noah paused and shook his head.

"If I'm tired, it's not necessarily that I'm dead. The road ahead is long, and we may not see each other again in a short time."

The wind was blowing gently, the sea of ​​flowers was shaking slightly, and petals were flying in the air.

Noah put his hands in his pockets and walked quietly with Alpha on the path in the back garden of the Angus family. There were many classmates in the distance, but no one came to disturb them.

"Does it hurt?"

Alpha shook his head, stared sideways at Noah next to him, smiled and slapped him on the back.

"Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?"

Noah squinted at Alpha's hands.

"After I go back, I will work hard and hone my strength seriously."

"Transgender?"

Alpha asked naughtily. In her eyes, this big boy was warm-hearted and easy to chat with. They had many topics in common, but the people next to him were immersed in work most of the time, even if During this year, they were unable to enter the school building, but Noah would always find Noah and the two of them together, staying in the dormitory every day, doing something.

"I'm really sorry Alpha, I couldn't help, I'm underground with your father"

Alpha stopped, shook her head, then took off her hair tie, and her long hair fell down. She pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Noah who was a head taller than her.

"Let's work hard together when we get back, and I'll teach you!"

Noah looked at Alpha with some surprise, and unconsciously put his hand on Alpha's shoulder.

"Should you say something to me, Noah? If you don't say anything, I will go back. I am not an easy girl."

Noah was startled and turned his head.

"I like you Alpha, really, maybe from the first time I saw you, maybe later, maybe now, but..."

Alpha smiled happily, grabbed Noah's hand, and started running.

"What about the future?"

"As always, even in the future, it will be the same!"

Dusk is approaching on the cheerful street. It is located in the center of District 1, close to the entrance of the mountain. The flow of people in the entire street began to leave under the evacuation of the administrators. A car parked here and went up. On a spacious platform, in a newly built house, businessmen, managers, family members and some celebrities began to enter the house one after another.

Hu Youran and Duke were among them. They looked at the people from the eight major families. Except for Angus and his wife, they did not come out. The patriarchs of other families came with most of the family members. Many businessmen gathered together to discuss something. .

A man with a red nose was snoring, disheveled, and looked very drunk. Next to him was a spirited man, looking at the man leaning against the rock wall with some dissatisfaction.

"Lourdes, wake up, the meeting is about to begin."

Baochun stood aside. In just a few thoughts, her figure became much rounder. In this year, because her sister refused to forgive herself, everyone in the family treated her as an outsider. She was very painful and began to overeat.

"Qian Jiazhen, what do you think the gods are going to say?"

Ludd got up, and several administrators came over, hoping that they would enter as soon as possible.

The sand and gravel in this huge square have been polished. After a while, a building will be built here. It was commissioned by the gods, but no one knows what it will be used for.

The meeting place was buzzing with people, and a large number of people were discussing what the gods planned to do. After all, the current economic situation in the city was really bad.

"Maybe it's something we didn't expect."

A large number of lawyers from the Bar Association looked solemnly at the gods on the stage who were preparing in front of several computers.

Gene had a cigarette in his mouth and looked at a law that was about to be promulgated, the antitrust law, on the computer screen.

A total of 567 family members, 1,034 businessmen, 198 celebrities, and 309 managers were invited.

At this time, everyone noticed that there was a panel embedded in the table in front of their designated seats. It seemed that the gods were about to promulgate something extremely important, and this panel was for them to vote.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet."

Along with Tang Rao's voice, the door slowly closed. At this time, the last red light disappeared outside the house, and the entire hall fell into a brief darkness. When the lights came on again, the seven gods were already standing in a row, sitting in a row. On the seven seats on the stage.

"What's going on? What does it mean?"

Eddie suddenly roared hysterically and stood up. For a moment, along with Eddie's roar, voices of dissatisfaction were heard everywhere, but only a small part. Most of the businessmen showed smiles and looked seriously at the panel in front of them. A new law emerged, the Anti-Monopoly Law.

"Eddie, sit down."

Deguna said, Eddie punched the screen angrily, causing the screen to crack, and Gene smiled helplessly.

The moment he sat down, Eddie knew the result.

"Please read the relevant details of the Anti-Monopoly Law quietly and then vote directly."

Li Chu said, his voice gradually became quiet.

After watching for a while, many people were ready to vote. Sitting in front of everyone was the inspection team led by Hawke, who breathed a sigh of relief.

The Anti-Monopoly Law stipulates that the market share occupied by any enterprise in the industry cannot exceed 30% of the city's urban share. The excess must be returned to the market unconditionally and be taken over by other businessmen.

For a moment, the Hillman family, the Su family, the Jiang family, including the Phoebes family all had serious expressions, but Locke nodded soon after.

This law greatly restricts the right of large families to occupy the market share of an industry. According to the law, any practitioner who wants to move to the next industry to invest in the next industry after working in one industry needs at least a minimum of Only a five-year cycle will work. You cannot make food today and cars tomorrow. This is absolutely not allowed in a five-year cycle.

Enterprises with a market share exceeding 30% must gradually reduce their market share to 30% within the next five years, with a maximum of no more than 35%.

Another law is the Commodity Sales Law, which stipulates that any commodity is only allowed to float within 30% of the regional price. Once the floating price exceeds 30%, it will be deemed to harm the business environment in the region and will be fined and suspended for rectification immediately. .

Most people are secretly happy at this time, especially businessmen. Many of them have sensed business opportunities. Once the bill is implemented, families must slowly hand over market share, and they can gain these market shares.

"This is completely wanton, gods."

Eddie couldn't bear it anymore. Now the Hillman family's medical industry accounts for at least 80% of the city's share, and mobile payment has a 100% market share. The water plant has reached more than 70%. Eddie The next step was to enter the real estate market, but these two bills made him feel that his plan to control the city's economy had come to nothing.

"The voting can begin now."

Following Witte's order, the voting rate immediately appeared on the big screen behind the seven gods, and the two bills were passed directly.

Deguna chuckled.

"Now that the law has been passed, we will not say anything more. In the next 10 years, we will slowly continue to open up some technical things. We also hope that you will continue to work hard and contribute to the development of the city. ."

Jean stood up, smiled and bowed.

"Everyone can go back. Managers, please stay. I will let the managers explain the follow-up matters to you. I hope you can have a good year this year."

"A farce, just a naked farce, haha!"

Eddie stood up from his seat. As Eddie stood up, a large number of people also left the venue. Gradually, most of the people in the venue left, and the meeting ended in just half an hour. .

Hu Youran was a little surprised, but he was satisfied in his heart. Laws should have been used to regulate the market long ago. Under such laws, the market cycle would be longer and would not be wantonly destroyed by speculators. These ten This has been the case in recent years. The originally good market was invaded by speculators, which directly destroyed the good market economy.

"Stop arguing."

Eddie said coldly, and the group of people behind him stopped talking instantly.

"There are policies from above, and there are countermeasures from below, right? Everyone, some things may not necessarily go as the gods wish. Isn't it stipulated in the law, except for city construction? Please remember this, and call everyone in the family People, there will be a family meeting tonight, and we must find a way to deal with this change."

Some businessmen immediately gathered in groups. They quietly watched Eddie and his group leave, knowing that the time had come. In the past 10 years, the Hillman family had monopolized several businesses in the city. It is an extremely important industry. Now all this situation has been broken by the law, and the pricing power is decided by the regional management officer. This is good for most businessmen.

It was clear to everyone that the city was starting to change again.

Gene quietly watched the other six people explaining things to the managers. Hawk next to him laughed bitterly.

"Today's incident still cannot be suppressed. I have tried my best to make all preparations to deal with the impact I may receive in the next few days."

"That's good. It's understandable to use this method to deter other criminal gangs who want to continue to expand. What about the three guys?"

Hawk smiled and sighed.

"I have returned to Angus's house. It is still the same as before, and my heart is not shaken at all."

Jean nodded with satisfaction.

"Hoke, the next work will be left to you. This place will be used as the General Affairs Section in the future, and above it is the Congress Hall. You need to find people as soon as possible to complete all related construction. It can be very slow, but in Before the establishment of the administrative department, it must be done well.”

Hawke squatted on the ground and sighed.

"How many more years will it take?"

"Twenty years at most. The city only needs to be stable for another 20 years and everything will be fine."

Hawke jumped off the stage and waved at Gene.

"I just hope that in 20 years, everything you said will come true, Gene. I don't mind continuing to work for another 20 years, but if the results are still the same after 20 years, don't bother me anymore. I'm tired."

"Sorry Hawk, sorry!"

Hawke walked over to the inspection team and began to explain things to them. Gene sat down and looked at the people with different expressions in front of him. He knew very well that there was still enough time, enough for them to change everything, at least It can put the city on the right track.

Jean also felt a little tired, really tired. Everyone was already exhausted when facing the problems that happened again and again in the city.

"It depends on people!"
