Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

10 am

Le Xiao had not recovered yet after walking out of Section 10. She was still sniffing. Jean left without saying anything else. Le Xiao actually really wanted Jean to teach her something. Such a scene was in her mind. I have thought about it countless times, but it has never happened.

That kind of step-by-step teaching became Le Xiao's fantasy at this moment. She heard about Jean from Alpha's mouth. Jean was going out to look for resources. Although Le Xiao just knew about this, she also knew that it was very important. of.

After all, if you want to let the barrier area bathe in the sun, it will indeed consume a lot of resources. Alpha looked at the people who were talking about it. She had already told her classmates that everyone would have a good gathering tonight. It would be the first time in so many years. A class reunion.

Although Le Xiao understood, he still felt uncomfortable. Alpha stared blankly at Su Li who came over, and she hugged her. Alpha was a little repelled, but he still smiled.

"Congratulations on coming out Alpha."

Su Li's voice was small, but it contained sincerity. Alpha hummed and said thank you, and Su Li hugged Lexiao again.

"this and that"

"Stop this and that. Didn't you just promise to help me?"

Le Xiao nodded.

"What exactly is it? Reveal a little bit."

Alpha looked at Le Xiao in confusion, with tears still hanging on his face, but he clearly cheered up, and there was no trace of the fact that he had just cried a lot.

This girl is a fish!

Alpha looked at his sister Nia who was walking over.

"You bastard, you fought with me that day and you actually gave way to me."

Alpha smiled slightly awkwardly, Nia slapped her on the back, and Alpha grinned slightly.

"Sister, you're going to have a headache from now on."

Niya said, looking at Le Xiao who was being pulled away by Gu Ningning, Alpha smiled slightly.

"It looks like this."

Le Xiao looked suspiciously at Su Li next to her who claimed to be her aunt. She still didn't believe it because her mother never mentioned it at all.

"I'm really your aunt. If you don't believe me, you can do a DNA test later to see if we are related."

Le Xiao laughed awkwardly. A group of people were going down the stairs and would soon reach the General Affairs Department. But at this time Le Xiao felt surprised because a temporary stage had been set up in the square. The stage was not high but the crowds were crowded. Many businessmen and reporters from the city came over.

"Can you tell me, what is so grand about it?"

Le Xiao got closer and saw many people from the Su family. She could now more or less identify the family and ordinary businessmen from the family emblem. Such a big battle was definitely not an ordinary trivial matter. Le Xiao felt an invisible force. Pressed, she looked carefully at Su Li who was smiling.

"This shouldn't be troublesome."

Su Li nodded.

"No trouble."

Although Su Li said this, Le Xiao still felt that things were not simple.

Finally coming to the edge of the stage, people from the Su family also gathered around, staring at Le Xiao, and then bowed slightly, and Le Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"No need, no need."

"Le Xiao, you go and have a rest first, and come over at 10:30."

Le Xiao hummed and ran awkwardly. As soon as he entered the general affairs department hall, Chloe came over and grabbed Le Xiao.

"Can you lend me some money for now?"

Le Xiao laughed helplessly. She was penniless now. Although she still carried a small vault with her, she recalled how she was scolded by Michelle last night and felt that the pressure had increased again.

I must hold back, I have just taken over such an important responsibility.

Le Xiao thought to herself that she must never use half a penny in the treasury. She glanced at the General Affairs Department. This place was the guarantee that she would not starve. She just had to come here every day to get food. Anyway, if she didn't eat, she would get nothing.

"Come here."

Zi Yuer grabbed Chloe and looked at Le Xiao pitifully. Le Xiao didn't understand why Chloe was so short of money. After all, she was a member of the family, and Ivy was the chief of Section 9. Auntie, how could you borrow money from yourself?

Besides, although Chloe has just taken up the job at the same time as herself, she heard that she is the best student in the entire field of college. That college has a salary since she entered the school. She joined when she was more than ten years old, and now at least she has a salary. Millions of dollars in salary.

"You are so rich, how can you be short of money?"

Gu Ningning came over, pulled Le Xiao and whispered.

"Lele, you'd better not have anything to do with that girl. That girl's family is a bit deformed."

Le Xiao couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't dare to ask further. She really wanted to take a rest now, and then she and Gu Ningning went to the rest hall on the second floor.

Su Li was still discussing some matters for the meeting with several core members of the family. Everyone seemed very happy, because with the replacement of the clan leader, many cooperations could implement the force majeure clause, so they were justified. Terminate some low-profit cooperation directly with evidence.

"Grandma, it's impossible for her to handle some of the Su family's affairs anyway. Next we should..."

"I'm not kidding you. Your aunt who is younger than you will have the final say in the Su family from now on."

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, many people in the younger group of the Su family laughed awkwardly. Le Xiao was now their aunt, and Su Li never joked.

"How do you like it? Anyway, now that I am retiring, the Su family will be handed over to you from now on. I hope that all of you, under the leadership of the trusted patriarch, will make the Su family as glorious as ever."

Su Ying walked over and took Su Li's hand. Except for the Su family, most people were guessing who the new patriarch would be. Soon the reporters reported on it and locked the Su family's heir to the young Su family. On the first generation, live interviews started directly.

With initial reports starting in the morning, this incident has now turned into a hot event in the city.

Many people are watching the live broadcast. The changes in the Su family have made many people feel the crisis, especially businessmen, but some people have sensed business opportunities. It depends on who will succeed the Su family.

Locke and Michelle returned to Locke's private rest area on the fifth floor of the General Affairs Department. Locke looked at Michelle with a smile. Michelle came in and sat in front of Locke.

"Oh, Michelle, look, Gene has already retired, and I'm almost there too."

Michelle's expression changed slightly, but she said quickly.

"Your Excellency, Chief Manager, I think you are still very young, and the General Affairs Department needs you."

Locke didn't expect Michelle to say such words, which surprised him.

"I didn't expect you to say that."

Michelle stood up and bowed slightly and said.

"Your Excellency, Manager, there are many things that I have been able to accomplish because of your teachings. Thank you."

Locke was a little surprised now. She didn't know what happened to Michelle today, but looking at Michelle's look, she probably wanted to talk to her about something. Locke stood up, and Michelle turned around and said hurriedly.

"I'm here, butler, just sit down."

"Well, Michelle, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Locke looked at Michelle and noticed the suspicion on her face.

After a while, accompanied by the smell of tea, Michelle came over with two glasses of water. After sitting down, she seemed to hesitate.

"Tell me Michelle."

The section chiefs were all talking about something in the section chief conference room next door. Locke did not go there. The conversation should be about the announcement of the successor of the Su family.

"I won't tell others, Michelle, I'm very strict with my mouth."

"I understand, Mr. Manager, this matter is actually about Mr. Jean."

Locke put away his relaxed smile and became serious.

"General Manager, I think that the city has become like this, maybe it has something to do with Sir Jean himself."

Locke did not agree but did not deny it. Indeed, he also realized that the city's current situation had a lot to do with Jean's actions, but at the same time it was inevitable.

"The two may overlap, that's why you feel this way."

Michelle nodded.

"For so many years, Lord Jean has been committed to making the city brighter, but he himself has always been rational. Such rationality has created that Lord Jean will definitely take action on some key things, maybe it was just what happened at that time It will indeed cause very serious problems in the end, but rather than hiding it, sometimes it may be better to let things explode."

Locke smiled and said.

"You must have been influenced by that girl Le Xiao."

Michelle didn't deny it.

"The fact is that Secretary Le Xiao has indeed done some things that we cannot do, and has also touched some places that we cannot touch."

Locke took a sip of water and said.

"You are right to think so, Michelle. No one can meet the future. Gene's approach has not changed from the beginning to now, although I don't know what his intention is to push this ordinary girl up. There have been times, but this time, he went against his own reason for the first time."

After Locke finished speaking, he sighed and stood up.

"This was impossible in the past and has never happened, especially in the case of Alpha. I was on the scene from beginning to end and could do nothing, say nothing, not even for Alpha. I didn’t say anything to excuse myself.”

Michelle nodded slightly. The day after that incident happened, Michelle still clearly remembered that she had just heard about it, came out of school, ran straight back to First Avenue, and then ran to Outside the Hillman family's manor, they looked at the Hillman family that had been reduced to ruins.

Michelle could not imagine it at the time. In her impression, it was impossible for Alpha to do such a thing, but such a bloody fact was before her eyes.

"Jean didn't hesitate at that time. After treating Alpha, he threw her directly into prison. Obviously everyone present and those who knew the crimes of the Hillman family felt that Alpha was not wrong, but she went overboard. The bottom line of the city has been exceeded, and the past has been exceeded in the face of the newly established legal system."

Michelle knew very well that in the past half century, Alpha's time had probably stayed on that night, and she could do nothing. All the things she wanted to give everything for in the past disappeared on that night.

Now the time that Alpha stopped has moved again, but things have changed. Michelle knows very well that Alpha will not interfere with Lexiao's actions. Many of the things Alpha wanted to do in the past were eventually curbed.

Times did not allow her to do this, and Alpha could only go on helpless again and again, but this helplessness finally broke out because of the problems of the Hillman family.

"Although it's a bit rude to say this, I think Lord Jean's retirement is a good thing. He will always affect others unknowingly, and this kind of influence is good."

Locke sighed.

"But such an impact is sometimes bad, so this time, although I feel a little regretful, it is our time."

Locke looked at Michelle blankly, but he didn't expect that she could see much more clearly than he did. Then Locke stood up and looked at the time. It was almost 10:30, and the Su family's press conference was about to be held.

Nowadays, all press conferences of large companies and families are held in the General Affairs Department. Because rioters in the city are likely to take advantage of the press conference to do something, the General Affairs Department is relatively safe.

The two got up and left the lounge. When they went out, they saw a bunch of section chiefs. Michelle walked over and bowed slightly. Locke looked at her back and couldn't help but think of Freya. He smiled helplessly and saw Holding his broad palm.

"It's your time!"

Locke laughed. He knew very well that his era was over. The reason why he had to stay in the General Affairs Department was just because no matter how capable Michelle was, she still couldn't finish some things by herself. When Michelle After his son finds his successor, Locke will leave as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Michelle can't find anyone who can become the secretary-general. At first, Wu Qun felt that Wu Qun's son Wu Lei was qualified. His work ability and interpersonal relationships were the best in the entire General Affairs Department. The best, but Michelle shook her head. She said that Wu Lei had a fatal flaw.

From a long time ago, Locke had felt that Michelle was too mature and knew everything at a young age. Her heart was hot, but she was wrapped in a cold exterior, making it difficult to see.

When he secretly helped Niya pass through, Locke could tell that this girl was not unkind. Looking at what Michelle and Niya were talking about, the two of them still looked out of tune as before.

But Locke knows better than anyone else that Michelle will be extremely strict with the people she approves of.

"It doesn't matter, Michelle, we just want to have a drink today."

"Please go back to work, Chief Niya. A big event like today is bound to cause some problems, so I hope that all the section chiefs can stick to their positions."

Michelle said as she glanced at Leona, who was already about to leave early, and she smiled awkwardly.

"We will definitely stick to our posts, don't worry, Michelle."
