Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

1am.

After Le Xiao finished the test questions, she looked at Michelle with some anxiety. After a while, the results came out, and Le Xiao laughed happily.

30.8 points.

"Very good."

As soon as Le Xiao finished speaking, she saw Michelle looking over. She lowered her head in embarrassment, and Michelle nodded.

"Go back and rest and continue tomorrow."

Le Xiao hummed, and she left the office easily. Today is already February 5th. In the past few days, Le Xiao feels that her brain has become more enlightened. She relies on other secretaries to teach Le Xiao twice a day. Le Xiao feels I am really progressing very quickly. If I keep going like this, I will definitely be able to pass the exam next month.

Michelle was looking at Le Xiao's test questions at this time, and then began to sort out her wrong questions and made a document, which would be sent to the secretaries who came to teach the next day. Carry out corresponding teaching.

At first, Michelle wanted to try out which secretary could teach Le Xiao well, so she assigned one secretary to teach Le Xiao. However, over the past few days, Michelle found that the results of teaching with 12 secretaries were very rapid.

Michelle also asked some secretaries about their situation. Although they teach in different methods, they teach the same things, so that Le Xiao's brain can start to learn to think.

Such different angles and different methods of teaching have made Le Xiao grow up very quickly. Now Michelle is relieved. At the beginning, Le Xiao's problems made the senior management of the entire business department extremely annoyed.

Because starting next month, Le Xiao's examination process will be broadcast live. The advantage of this is that more people in the city will know and see the situation of the business examination, thereby dispelling some rumors.

It looks good now. The test scores have improved in just a few days, which shows that this method is suitable for Lexiao.

Michelle walked out of the office after finishing tidying up. She was going to take a rest. At this time, Michelle saw that the lights were still on in Locke's private rest area, so she walked over.

As soon as he entered, he smelled an aroma. Locke was eating barbecue and drinking wine. When he saw Michelle, he stood up and said.

"Would you like some? I'll ask them to make some later."

Michelle shook her head.

"Your Excellency, Manager, please pay attention to your eating habits. It's already 1:23 in the morning."

After Michelle finished speaking, she bowed and turned to leave, but Locke stopped her.

"Can you have a drink with me Michelle? I have something I want to talk to you about."

Michelle nodded and sat over. She probably knew what Locke wanted to talk about.

"Let's have a drink."

Michelle did not refuse, Locke asked the kitchen below to bring some food and drinks, and then sighed and said.

"Times have changed now, Michelle."

Michelle nodded, and Locke smiled helplessly after taking a sip.

"Hoke, Ye Chunwang and I are from the same era. Although I am only more than ten years younger than them, I am already over a hundred years old."

Michelle said.

"Manager, you are not old at all."

Locke just smiled, took a sip and said.

"Times have changed. What I can do now is very little. Many times, you are still dealing with Michelle for important tasks."

Michelle shook her head.

"General manager, please don't say that. Everything you have done over the years has been seen by everyone. The current General Affairs Department."

Locke smiled.

"What I mean is that I'm not leaving now, but I need you to find a suitable person who can take your place as soon as possible."

Michelle hummed. Originally, the best candidate was Wu Lei, but now he has gone to Section 13. Wu Lei is outstanding in every aspect and has no problems in terms of popularity or work.

Among the remaining 29 secretaries in the General Affairs Section, Michelle thought about it and found that none of them were suitable, both in terms of qualifications and abilities.

This is true in any era. If a person wants the people below to obey orders, seniority is a must. If there is no seniority, some senior people may not accept it.

Both qualifications and abilities must be met, which is the current promotion standard for the 12 professional departments, and the 13th department is an exception.

A whole must be organized from top to bottom in order to be neat. Anyone in the power industry knows this.

Many of the members of the administrative department of the previous era have basically retired and are gradually changing to Michelle's era. The secretaries are all from the same era as Michelle.

"Choose from the secretaries of the 12 departments."

Michelle was in a bit of a dilemma. These secretaries were all relatively good in terms of ability and qualifications, but the selection was a huge problem.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Locke asked, Michelle said.

"Zi Yu'er, the secretary of Section 1, is still a little too rigid when it comes to handling problems, and some of the questions are quite forceful. She is a typical type of person who offends people."

Locke nodded, and Michelle continued.

"Although Lillian, the secretary of Section 2, is very capable, she is not suitable because she is in a system like Section 2. As for Xima, the secretary of Section 3, it is impossible to move. The same goes for Gu Ningning, the secretary of Section 4. , she is an indispensable presence in the medical system. Qin Dong, the secretary of Section 5, is also a good helper for Niya. Niya is too strong, and Qin Dong does a lot of behind-the-scenes work."

Locke laughed helplessly and said.

"It's true. These secretaries have been working for a long time. If they are replaced rashly, there will be problems overall."

Michelle said with a hum.

"You can't change the secretary voice of Section 6. If you change Section 6, it will collapse. Leona is too loose. Although she is very capable, as the section chief, she basically leaves everything to her except big things. Yincai. The same goes for Ye Jiao in Section 7. The Economics Section is the result of the joint efforts of Li Ang and Ye Jiao, and it will not work without either of them."

Locke held up his wine glass and the two of them took a sip. Then Locke sighed and Michelle continued.

"The same goes for Letty in Section 8. She and Heathcote can't move. Chloe, the secretary in Section 9, is too junior. She and her aunt Ivy have just entered the practice section. The 9th Business Section Basically, it is the hub for people from the merchant family to call each other, and both of them are members of the family. So they cannot be changed."

Locke said with a hum.

"Then there are only subjects 11 and 12 left. Larry in subject 12 cannot be replaced. As for Zhou Xuan in subject 11, what do you think?"

Michelle thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"The same goes for her. She has been in the prison system for too long, and Jewell is about to get married. All matters in the prison, big and small, must be handled by Zhou Xuan."

Locke smiled bitterly.

"I came here tonight to give you some advice."

Michelle looked solemn, Locke said with a smile.

"If one person comes up, the current affairs department will be better."

Michelle looked at Locke in confusion. She thought of who it was, but this matter was very risky.

"It must be Miss Alpha."

Michelle said, Locke nodded.

"It is indeed a pity that she had 50 years of blank time. She is the most capable person in many aspects. Michelle, you may not be able to catch up with her in this regard."

Michelle nodded.

"Indeed, in those years when the entire system of the practice department was in chaos, many things were promoted by Alfa. The overall tone of the current practice department was also laid down by Miss Alpha. Including the internal management regulations of the practice department, it was also Alpha. The lady created it with her own hands. She laid a solid foundation for the entire practice."

Locke smiled.

"The true princess of this Brilliant City should sit in my position. To be honest, Michelle, I haven't accomplished anything in these years."

Michelle understood what Locke meant, she said.

"If it's Miss Alfa, both her qualifications and work ability are enough to hold the position of general manager."

Locke said with a hum.

"So it's actually good for me to step down from this position. If she can come up, the current administrative department as a whole will be much better. And the section chiefs will obey her decision. The administrative department can tighten up. It's just that For you, some"

Michelle shook her head.

"I don't care about these stewards. Miss Alfa has been my role model since childhood. What do the gods say?"

Locke nodded.

"Actually, I discussed this issue with several gods when Alpha came out a long time ago. They also felt that Alpha was very suitable, but the time was not right."

Michelle nodded.

"I'll go talk to Miss Alfa tomorrow."

Locke smiled and took a sip of wine. Only Alpha was suitable for the position of general manager. Locke had discussed this issue with Alpha many times in the past.

But at that time, Section 5 was in chaos, and there were a lot of crime problems in the city. Many things needed Section 5 to deal with. Alpha couldn't do without Section 5, and this matter has been dragged on until the problem of the Hillman family. By the time it was completely exposed, it was already too late.

"You really don't feel uncomfortable? Michelle, please tell me honestly."

Michelle lowered her head and was silent for a while before saying.

"Maybe a little bit. But I will always remember what my mother said when she left, this city is handed over to you, please make her better."

Locke nodded, and the two drank from their glasses.

"Let's go together tomorrow morning."

8 o'clock in the morning.

Lexiao lay tiredly on the edge of the food table. The chef smiled and served what Lexiao wanted to eat. She got up and started eating. After she finished eating, she had to go to the office above to handle things.

At this time, the elevator door opened, and Le Xiao saw Locke Jiahui and Michelle coming out. She hurriedly stood up and bowed and went to say hello. The two left the General Affairs Department, Le Xiao said doubtfully.

"Where are these two going?"

The head chef laughed.

"Master Le Xiao, the two of them had a drink last night. They must have been talking about some big issue."

The members of the General Affairs Department who were handling matters all discussed it, because the two of them rarely went out together on weekdays. If they left together, something big must have happened in the city.

As soon as they arrived on the street, the patrolling teams from Section 5 all came close to them one after another, and the two of them walked forward.

Locke had already thought clearly last night that he was indeed not suitable for this position. Many times, the section chiefs were arguing about some things, and he could only be a peacemaker, taking the middle value, and he still needed to do some work afterwards.

Although this approach has advantages, it also has disadvantages.

Locke's approach was not as resolute as Alfa's. Alfa's decisions were actually correct many times before, but in the end they were suppressed by the gods.

In fact, Locke wanted to support Alpha many times, because the huge monster of the city stood in front of him. In the end, Locke chose to be like the gods. No matter what happened to the city, it only needed to stabilize.

Soon the two arrived at the headquarters of Section 13. There were still many people queuing up at the door.

The reporters are all covering it. The popularity of Section 13 is still very high. People like to see the news about Section 13 very much.

At this time, reporters gathered around. Michelle refused the reporters' interview, and the two walked into the lobby on the first floor of Department 13.

This was the first time for the two of them to come here. They looked at it as soon as they entered. They couldn't imagine that it was renovated in more than a day.

Both Ran Zai and Ran Zhi were a little strange. These two people suddenly came to Section 13. Then Ran Zai hurried over and bowed, and the others also stood up and bowed, although this was a bit unaccustomed to many of them.

"Master Manager, Secretary-General, why are you here so suddenly?"

Michelle asked.

"Where's Alpha?"

Ran Zhi frowned, and immediately thought of what was going on, he said with a smile.

"She went out to do something."

Ran Zai looked at his grandfather with some suspicion. It was clear that Alfa was dealing with things with Wu Lei upstairs, how could Ran Zhi tell him?

Suddenly Ran Zai figured it out and said with a smile.

"It is true that Miss Alfa went out early in the morning."

Locke glanced at the faces of the others, patted Ran Zhi on the shoulder and said.

"You're still the same as before, old slippery man."

After speaking, Locke and Michelle went directly to the second floor.

Everyone around them became confused. After Ran Zai and Ran Zhi looked at each other, they all felt helpless.

Both of them guessed what these two people were doing here. They wanted Alfa to take the position of general manager. This was the only possibility for them to come here.

Thanks to Alfa in the past few days, many documents in Section 13 have been processed very quickly. Everyone is amazed at Alfa's proficiency in everything, whether it is processing documents or handling cases.

But if Alfa leaves, they will lose a powerful helper, so Ran Zhicai said this in advance, he just wanted to talk to Alfa.

At this time, in the office on the second floor, Wu Lei and Alfa were processing some documents. Locke knocked on the door before they got up.

Wu Lei was a little surprised and hurried over and said.

"General manager, secretary-general, have you two come here with any big problem?"

Locke looked at Alfa with a smile and then said.

"You go ahead and deal with it. President, I want to talk to you."

Wu Lei looked solemn. He glanced at Locke and then Michelle, feeling that something was wrong.

Alpha sighed, nodded and said.

"Let's go to Le Xiao's house to talk."
