Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Giggle

2:15 am

Freya opened her eyes. At this time, the caregiver next to her had fallen asleep. Under the yellowish light, her expression looked a little sweet. She stroked her swollen belly, picked up a glass of warm water next to her, and took a sip. Feeling a little hungry.

After taking a look at the two women accompanying her, they were already asleep. Freya planned to get up and get something to eat. She just had a dream. In a pure white world, she heard a burst of children's laughter. The children inside already know how to kick her.

In recent times, the child in her belly has been kicking Freya more and more frequently, as if she can't wait to come out. The rain outside has stopped, the lights are still on the lawn, and the banquet is still going on. Continue.

Nowadays, Freya can only reduce her workload. Most of the affairs of the Medical Association are handled by some deputies she trained. Unless they encounter major problems, they will not bother Freya.

But Freya was a little uneasy at this time. She left the room quietly and soon came to a small kitchen specially prepared for her on the second floor. She was still used to making something to eat by herself. After all, she had her own taste. Clearly, Wu Qun had taught her some cooking methods.

After a while, Freya sat in the kitchen, meditating quietly, feeling a little uneasy in a certain part of her heart. Because Freya was a mother for the first time, she didn't know how to teach this child in the future.

Either be a strict mother or a gentle mother, but after thinking about it, Freya also felt that something was wrong. She once asked Violet, who came to visit her, because she was a mother of two children, but The answer she got surprised Freya.

Violet told Freya that she was not a good mother. Her eldest daughter Alpha had been brought up by Jean hand-in-hand since she was a child, and her second daughter Nia’s princess training plan also failed, so she could not give Freya any advice. .

It's just that Violet said a little, just give love to your children, but other than that, you don't need much else.

"Baby, what do you think your mother should do? What should you do if you are naughty? What should you do if you are sad? What should you do if you are angry?"

Freya started talking to herself. She was waiting for the food being cooked gently, looking at the stove with her hands on her chin, but Freya had already thought about it. Whether it was a boy or a girl, she would teach them step by step. Everything, and then send them to ordinary schools, away from the family circle. The most important thing is to cultivate the children's ability to be independent.

Freya didn't want to decide her child's future prematurely. She recalled that she had been fighting since she was a child, trying to break away from the shackles given to her by her family, but in the end she still married into the Abron family. My marriage failed. I may have achieved some success in what I wanted to pursue, but the price was a bad family life.

Freya often thinks that she really hates her husband Charles. He is a profit-seeking businessman who has inherited everything from the previous generation of the family, but this is not something he can decide, nor can he easily change.

Every time I think about the morning when Baoyan committed suicide, Charles initially agreed to go and help because the Abron family and the Su family had a very large business relationship at that time, but in the end Charles did not go.

In an instant, Freya was extremely disappointed with him and began to hate Charles. She had many times hoped that Charles could change a little bit, but after so many years, more than 20 years have passed unknowingly, and she has already She is no longer the little girl who was a bit overbearing in the past.

There was still no change in Charles, so Freya decided not to let him interfere with their children's education. Freya didn't want her children to cast a shadow on the family. Wilsey's incident is still crazy in the family circle. pass.

But Freya knows very well that many of the women in the family she knows are the same as Wilsey, but they choose to tolerate many things silently. Now many women in the family are even more envious of Alpha. What she has done Many people are still talking about everything.

At this time, at the door of the room, two female caregivers ran over with pale faces, and Charles followed behind with an angry face.

"What on earth are you doing?"

"Charles, don't blame them, they"

Charles slapped one of the women angrily, and Freya stood up. Charles was obviously drunk, and he immediately began to curse. Freya wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

"enough!"

Freya snapped, and Charles calmed down.

"Freya, the wages we paid them are not low. We promised to take care of them 24 hours a day, but they fell asleep. Your wages are gone today. If there is another time, you don't have to work."

Freya looked at Charles leaving quietly, smiled and gave a hug to a girl who was already crying.

"I'm sorry ma'am, I'm really sorry, I"

"It's okay, I won't deduct your wages!"

After Freya smiled and comforted her for a while, the two of them entered the kitchen and began to look at what Freya was cooking. Freya sat quietly aside with a solemn look on her face. She really wanted to tell Charles that indeed they should take turns. Guards, 24-hour guards, are indeed paid very high wages, but they are also human beings.

In this place, what Freya saw most were the servants who came here to work, with their heads lowered, as if they wanted to kneel down. Many people left like this, and under the protection of immunity, within the family, The attitude towards some servants is very bad.

Freya covered her mouth and felt a little nauseous. Freya felt uncomfortable thinking about these things, but Freya soon started laughing. She knew very well that Alpha would definitely change this situation, but It’s a matter of time, and most people think so.

2:37 am

In the Angus family's mansion, the lights were bright, and Avano was still talking hard about the construction project that would officially start in 7 days, and what everyone needs to be responsible for and what needs to be paid attention to.

The banquet has just ended, and everyone in the Angus family is full of hope for this underground construction project.

"Stand still Niya!"

Violet looked at Nia quietly in the bedroom, she smiled and lowered her head.

"School will start in a few days. Didn't you already say that you have finished your homework?"

Nia immediately defended.

"Mom, don't worry, there are still six or seven days left, I can definitely finish it."

In an instant, a lot of boys' names floated through Niya's mind. Although it was a little painful and she had to write it by herself, as long as everyone helped, Niya could finish the homework in three days at most.

Violet looked at the homework on Niya's light and shadow phone without touching a word. In the past six months, the entire family has been so busy that eating and sleeping have become a luxury, but Niya still refused to give Violet any trouble. , after the incident with Alpha last year, Niya was quiet for more than a month, but she soon returned to her old ways.

She made trouble in the entire upper-class circle. She said she was going to hang out with her classmates every day, but in fact she brought a bunch of people to mess around, not just her classmates in the school, but also students from other schools.

"Come here Niya."

Niya blinked, and immediately ran over like a coquettish girl, hugging her mother, and Violet smiled helplessly.

"Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight."

Violet pushed Nia away.

"Niya, go to bed quickly. Your cousin Laura is getting married tomorrow. I have to arrange the ceremony tomorrow. At this critical moment, can you not cause trouble to mom? Your sister will be back in a minute. Not coming."

Niya said with a delighted smile.

"Can I go see my sister?"

"No, you have to do your homework quickly starting tomorrow."

Looking at her mother leaving, Niya had a trace of loss in her eyes. She lay flat on the bed and looked at the lights outside the window.

"That guy Da Biao hasn't come to see me for a long time. It really pisses me off."

In the past few years, Niya often asked her sister Alpha to take her to play with Xiong Dabiao. Xiong Dabiao would take Niya around the streets and introduce some things to Niya.

The same goes for Li Ang recently. He has been promoted to Class A and often no longer makes trouble with Niya. Instead, he studies seriously. Niya had a big quarrel with him before, but Li Ang didn't say anything.

However, Niya recently heard rumors that Li Ang wanted to complete his basic studies quickly, then graduate from school, leave and return home, and Niya finally understood the reason.

Niya also thought about what she wanted to do in the future, but she had a headache just thinking about these things. However, Niya thought about entering the management and becoming a handsome manager like her sister Alpha. However, Niya soon started working with her father Avano. After expressing his thoughts, Avano told Niya a lot of things.

Niya gave up such thoughts in an instant. She also deliberately found a book of laws. As soon as she saw the explanatory text on the first page, she immediately lost her desire. She read some economic books, but Niya Ya can do some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but those things give me a headache just looking at them.

Later, I heard that fighting can be regarded as an introductory course. Niya felt confident because it was the only part she was good at. As a result, her father also told Niya some things about her sister Alpha in school, and Niya was gone in an instant. Confidence.

It is impossible to enter management. Niya knows very well that it is impossible in this life. After all, she cannot climb the two mountains of economic law.

"No, do you really want to marry that boy Chen Jie?"

Niya rolled up from the bed, scratched her head, and then lay down again. She was a little confused about what she would do in the future. Many classmates in the school had said what they would do in the future, and Li Ang also said that he would take over from his father. As a winery owner, Chen Jie also said that he would learn how to do business from his uncle Chen Qiao.

Even Ji Mo, who usually doesn't talk much, has said that he wants to enter the management and change the city.

Niya burst out laughing at that time, because she was definitely going to inherit the family business at the end of the season.

The more she thought about Niya, the more her head hurt. At this time, a breeze came in from the window. As soon as Niya looked over, she saw Jean sitting at the window.

"Handsome Uncle Gene, why are you here?"

Niya ran over with some joy, and Gene said with a smile.

"I came here tonight to talk to your parents about something. Your mother is worried about you."

Niya curled her lips and ran over with a smile. She knew that the man in front of her who was so handsome that all women couldn't help but want to take a second look was her sister's teacher, and he was the one who held her sister's hand. Taught from childhood to adulthood.

"Uncle Gene, can you teach me too!"

Gene tilted his head, folded his hands, and sat comfortably on the window edge.

"What do you want to learn?"

"Teach me how to fight!"

Gene smiled and shook his head.

"no!"

Niya scratched her head.

"Then how do I get into management? My dad told me a lot of things, and my mom took it as a joke, and so did other guys. I know I didn't do well in school, but that's not my fault. I just didn't like it by nature. Those things are so boring.”

Niya climbed to the window edge angrily and sat on Gene's lap.

"Teach me, Uncle Gene."

"It's easy to get into management, as long as you have talent, what do you think your talent is!"

Niya raised her fist and raised it in front of Gene.

"I will beat anyone who disobeys you!"

"It's really a simple and crude way, miss."

Niya snorted, raised her head and said.

"It's better to be simple. Why make it so complicated? I see that my sister is always talking about a lot of complicated things to many of her classmates."

Niya hummed, and suddenly Niya was startled. Light blue particles dragged her and put her back on the bed.

"It's time for bed, miss!"

Niya pouted.

"Let me tell you a story, Nia."

Niya sat up with interest for a moment, but Jean pushed her back to the bed.

"In the past, Locke was not good at studying, and he didn't like it. What he liked most was eating."

With a puff, Niya laughed and nodded.

"Yes, Fat Uncle really likes to eat and is very good at eating. The food he has is the best."

"Once, when we were constructing a facility, there was a problem with the handover on the construction site. As a result, the food that was originally scheduled to be delivered was not delivered during the meal."

Nia blinked.

"That won't make you very hungry. If I play for a while, I will be hungry soon."

Gene nodded.

"At that time, Locke was working with his parents at the construction site. When the meal time came, the workers who had not eaten started to make a fuss. The manager of the construction site did not know what to do and tried his best to explain the reason, but the workers They didn’t listen at all, because during that time, the people managing the construction site did not control the amount of food, and everyone had been hungry for many days.”

Niya listened carefully to Jean's story.

"Locke was still very young at that time. When everyone was making a fuss, he ran to another construction site and offered them double the price to buy some food and asked them to send it over, and he could pay immediately."

"and after!"

Gene said with a smile.

"Later, the workers were able to eat, but Locke and his family were fired by the people who managed the construction site, so they were not able to eat."

Nia's eyes widened.

"This is unbelievable. Fat uncle obviously made everyone eat, but that person is too hateful."

Gene smiled and nodded.

"I was the manager at that time!"

Niya stood up even more shocked.

"Why should Uncle Fatty and his family be fired?"

Gene stood up.

"It's time for bed, miss!"

Niya looked at Jean angrily.

"Finish the story, Uncle Gene, why did you fire Uncle Fatty and his family?"

Gene walked to the window.

"Because this is not what he should do at that age, but he did it. This is his talent."

Nia's eyes widened.

"So it seems that I also have talent. I have a lot of followers. I didn't force them, although it was a little bit at first."

Gene smiled and nodded.

"Everyone has their own talents, Niya. Since then, Locke has been helping me manage some construction sites. He has connected everything very well. This is his talent. In terms of knowledge, he cannot compare with your sister, but But he has talents in other areas, do you understand Niya, it’s a matter of having a full meal and being hungry.”

Niya looked at Jean in confusion, not knowing what Jean was talking about, but Jean had already left. Just as she was about to get up, she was hit by a light blue particle on her head, and the windows and curtains were closed. .

Below Niya's bedroom, Avano sighed helplessly.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jean."

Looking at Nia who finally fell asleep peacefully, Avano blamed himself a little. He knew very well that he had been busy with research over the years and had become a little comfortable with Nia. Now that his daughter is so noisy, this is his responsibility as a father.

"Everyone has things they can and cannot do, Avano, that child always wants to show himself, not as the princess of the Angus family, nor as the sister of Alpha, although I know there are some words that cannot be So, after all, she will be the heir to your Angus family in the future."

Avano nodded.

"If one day she really wants to join management like her sister, maybe we should."

"If there really comes a day when that child wants to enter the management, I will personally check it. No matter when, it is never too late. The key is whether you can put in the effort!"

Jean glanced back at Violet, who was walking over. The couple looked at Jean in surprise.

"There are many things that a 10-year-old child cannot bear. That girl is very resilient. It's never too late, Violet, Avano!"

Violet nodded.

"Perhaps, we were too eager to make that child become a different person from her sister Alpha, so we created something. Thank you, Mr. Jean."

Gene smiled, turned around and walked quickly.

"I have already told you the specific things. It depends on what you do next, whether it is the construction of the city or the education of Niya."

Soon Jean left the Angus family's mansion, and he soon entered the territory of the Abron family directly.

dong dong dong

Freya, who had just eaten, saw the window being knocked. She subconsciously opened a corner of the curtain and smiled in surprise.

"You guys go out first, I have guests."

After the two caregivers left, Freya opened the curtains. Jean sat on the window edge, raising his hands. A comfortable chair was moved over. Freya looked back and sat down. The light blue Particles were floating in the air, and the cold wind that had just flowed in suddenly stopped.

Freya's face turned solemn for a moment, looking a little depressed.

"Mr. Jean, I lost the coin you gave me. It is a very important thing."

Gene smiled and shook his head.

"It's true that that thing may be very important to me, but maybe I'll find it one day!"

Freya was lying at the window with her chin in her hands.

"I heard Mr. Tang Rao mention it before. That must be your lover's relic, Mr. Jean!"

Gene smiled and nodded.

"I'm really envious of that lady named Ellie!"

Gene laughed.

"By the way, Mr. Jean, you're here today. What's the matter?"

Gene shook his head.

"I just came to see your Freya, you will become a mother in October this year."

Freya felt a little sad for a moment and began to talk about the uneasiness in her heart and her desire to develop this child in the direction she expected.

"Isn't it a bit too selfish, Mr. Jean? Maybe for this child, as a mother, I am."

"It is normal for parents to impose their own wishes on their children. Many parents cannot avoid subtly adding their own expectations to their children. I do the same, but I will completely Let go."

Freya was a little surprised, but soon laughed.

"Mr. Jean, I think you still have time to talk to Alpha. I heard Mrs. Angus tell me that in the past few years, you have never been to Alpha, and she has never been to you. Since that year after the bombing."

Gene nodded.

"Indeed, she may have a little resentment towards me. After all, in her opinion, I should do something or say something for her."

"why not?"

Gene shook his head.

"This may have something to do with my past. My parents were the same way. They left when I was 14 years old without saying anything. For many years after that, I was alone."

Freya was a little shocked, and Gene shook his head again.

"I was young too, Freya. I know very well that young people are desperately trying to find something to quickly prove their feelings. Encouragement or teaching at this time is not a good thing in my opinion, because you Everything you do and everything around you will be like a mirror, reflecting your true appearance. These things cannot be replaced by encouragement or lessons. If you want to see clearly what kind of person you are, first look Just look at everything around you and you will know it.”

Freya's eyes widened, and she immediately pursed her lips and nodded with a smile. She herself was once full of confusion and unknown during that street speech. She also hoped for countless times that someone could help her and guide her. Escape the predicament by yourself. Many times, even if you smile every day and take care of everything about yourself, you still can't get out of the predicament.

But in the years that followed, Freya gradually understood that this dilemma was a true reflection of herself, and that the dilemma most of the time did not come from her surroundings, but was caused by herself.

Later, Freya gradually understood that the more you want to chase something, the fate will often not be what you want, and will only ruthlessly defeat you again and again. When your fighting spirit is wiped out, you will only When you leave this predicament, you won't even notice everything around you. The key to getting out of the predicament is obviously in your hands, but you can't see it. This is very scary.

Today's Alpha no longer needs any words of encouragement or harsh reprimands. Everything she has done perfectly reflects that she has not fallen into trouble because of one or two so-called failures.

"Freya, I'll be here tonight. You have a good rest. I will come over when the child is born!"

Freya smiled and nodded. Jean turned and left the window. Freya raised her head slightly. Personal dilemmas create social dilemmas, and social dilemmas will lead to the dilemmas of the entire era. Too many Many people cannot extricate themselves from their own predicaments because many people have ignored the meaning of the predicament itself.

3 o'clock in the morning

Eddie quietly raised the cup and drank a drink with Ran Zhi.

"I wish our cooperation as smooth as ever, Mr. Ran Zhi, but maybe I should call you a wise man!"

Ran Zhi smiled and nodded. The construction of facilities at the barrier has been completed very smoothly. Ran Zhi has opened up a large field of sunlight in the cave for planting using solar lights, and has successfully harvested it.

All plans were being carried out quietly, and Ran Zhi never questioned all of this and why he was doing it.

"Please pay more attention to the situation outside the barrier, wise man."

Ran Zhi hummed.

"Mr. Eddie, where is your plan? Is it going well?"

Eddie nodded, walked to the window, and looked at the lights in the distance quietly. In a few days, his family would formally connect with the Angus family, and the two big families in the city would begin formal cooperation. The construction of cities.

"I'll leave first."

Ran Zhi said and put down his wine glass. He walked over slowly. Two men in black helped him open the door. As soon as he went out, Ran Zhi saw his daughter Ran Yu who looked haggard.

"dad!"

"What's wrong, Xiao Yu?"

Ran Yu looked at her father at a loss. She didn't know what to say, because her father had completely changed. He was completely different from before. He became very strange and a little scary in her eyes.

"Go to bed early and remember to take good care of your children."

Ran Yu hummed and watched her father walk step by step. She had looked for her father many times, hoping to have a good talk with him, but it all seemed to be in vain. Her father seemed to have gone somewhere, dark and endless. The land of light can never come back.

"What happened!"

Ran Yu thought for a while and ran over quickly, grabbing Ran Zhi's hand.

"Dad, can you talk to me?"

Ran Zhi turned around, smiled and nodded.

"Of course, daughter!"
