Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

18:00.

The sun had just gone out, and the city fell into a brief darkness before the lights turned on. At this time, many people discovered that an announcement called "Operation Clearance" appeared on the page of the Business Department.

The current criminals in the city are required to surrender within a month, otherwise they will be severely punished once they are investigated.

Sure enough, it was the same as many people had guessed. With so many criminals surrendering, they must have known that the city was about to start a large-scale crime investigation. Alpha has launched such crime investigations many times, and each time the city was purified.

Moreover, the Alpha crime investigation is very intensive. Many cases will surface and many relevant responsible persons will be arrested. Therefore, many people surrendered before the clearing operation was announced.

Outside the headquarters of Section 7, several businessmen were relieved. They paid the fines and made up for the taxes. They only had to go to the Agriculture Section to punish them for three months. Although it was quite difficult for them, it was better than punitive fines or jail time. Much stronger.

Many people are still queuing, and some have been queuing all day. Section 7 has also issued an announcement that they will work all night long, so tonight, many people plan to stay up all night but they have to explain their problems first. clear.

Businessmen know very well that if they do not solve their own problems as soon as possible, they may lose their share of trade with Asgard. The city's economy will not change much, and if businessmen want to make a profit We must seize the opportunity of trade between the two countries.

In the face of greater interests, businessmen will certainly not risk their future for a small problem. Now is a very good opportunity for businessmen.

With so many people surrendering, they don't need to worry about encountering hostility and abuse from the people in the city. Many businessmen happily plan to meet up for a drink together, and then go to Section 12 to receive labor punishment early tomorrow morning.

The whole city is now as lively as a festival. There are people everywhere in the streets and alleys. More people are watching outside some management offices of the administrative department. Everyone wants to see the excitement.

Now there are more individual businessmen on the street. They can make some small snacks. As long as they obtain qualifications from Section 1, they can sell them on the streets at night.

This started a few days ago. Many people will make some small handmade products and some simple snacks, but they need to go to the nearby Section 1 in advance to report in advance the items for sale every day. In particular, some food must be tested.

Nowadays, the city is much freer than before, and some small vendors have begun to appear again. They only need to sell within the designated and regulated areas, and there will basically be no problems.

Small vendors also abide by the sales points in the area promulgated by Division 1 and will not go to places where shops are clustered together to sell.

Many people have discovered that various subjects have introduced something, and the entire city will undergo more drastic changes in the future.

In some programs, this clearing operation has already begun to be discussed. Many people pointed out that the reason why the administrative department did this this time was to allow the city to have a good environment before trading with Asgard. environmental and economic foundation.

And this kind of thing now is just the beginning, it will become more and more serious in the future. Many people now support the approach of the administrative department, and some congressmen have also happened at this time, because some of the taxes paid by many businessmen will go back to the local area. , and lawmakers also decided to increase subsidies for local people such as medical care and pensions.

Half a year ago, the entire city was still in a quagmire, and everything seemed about to collapse. But half a year later, the city started to get better, with many problems that had been difficult to solve for decades.

8pm.

In the living room on the fourth floor of Section 13's headquarters, Wu Lei pressed his head tiredly. The remaining eight people were waiting for others to bring food. They no longer had any energy to cook.

Everyone was very tired, and Wu Lei didn't expect Le Xiao's joke last night. After they tried it today, all subjects began to follow suit, and it caused such a big stir.

"It's really surprising. Last night we thought she was childish, but today we are shocked."

Ran Zhi said helplessly, and his grandson Ran Zai on the side pressed his forehead and laughed. It was completely unimaginable that such a thing would happen. The criminals would take the initiative to plead guilty and surrender.

Hydra sighed and said.

"Today I took the criminal to the scene. He carefully explained what happened that night. People from the 5th Forensic Division also came over and found evidence. The man didn't seem to be lying. I asked him why he didn't do anything. Said, everything will pass slowly, do you know what the man said?"

Everyone looked at Hydra in confusion, and she smiled helplessly.

"The man said that she felt that Le Xiao did the right thing, so he hoped to give himself a chance. He didn't want to continue to feel uncomfortable because of this incident."

Everyone laughed helplessly, Ran Zhi sighed.

"Times have indeed changed, and they have changed completely. That man should have a long sentence."

Hydra waved her hands helplessly and said.

"It is at least 30 years, but it is true that he did not mean it. It depends on whether some of the evidence he provides later is tenable. If it is tenable, it should be between 35 and 40 years."

Everyone talked about some of the things they were dealing with today. They had to continue studying after dinner, because they had to control their test scores, which was quite difficult.

Time is too tight. Wu Lei has asked Leng Rui to find a way to use AI to make a corresponding program so that everyone in subject 13 can practice quickly, so that his written test scores can be lower than Le Xiao's. .

Every day that passes, there is one less day. The number of people who have signed up to take the business examination this year has exceeded 50,000, which has exceeded the historical high. The highest number of applicants in the past was more than 18,000, but this number will continue to increase.

Because there are still a large number of people signing up to take the practice exam every day, many people estimate that the number of people applying for the practice exam this year will be the highest in history, and it is very likely to exceed 100,000.

This has never happened before. In fact, the manpower of the practice department is seriously insufficient. Every year, the practice department will make some promotional advertisements and announce some benefits of the practice department every year.

But it is obvious that the advertisements over the years have not had any effect, and many people are still unwilling to join the practice department, because in most people's minds, everything about the practice department is annoying to them.

"When will your secretary come back? Just finish the work report quickly and have her sign it."

Hydera asked, Wu Lei shook his head.

"It seems that she will lead a more important meeting tonight, and the whole family will go."

Everyone was surprised as to why Le Xiao was allowed to go to such an important meeting.

Ran Zai asked.

"Is it really okay that you're not there?"

Wu Lei laughed.

"It doesn't matter now, I'm so tired that I don't want to move anymore."

At this time, the doorbell rang, Wu Lei turned on the light and shadow screen, opened the door, and Michelle went upstairs carrying some food. He looked very happy.

Michelle said after coming up.

"You don't need my help in the investigation now. There have been so many changes in such a short period of time."

8:22 p.m.

Le Xiao pressed her stomach with some discomfort. She had eaten too fast and was full. Now people from the family had come in one after another. Le Xiao saw that many people had serious expressions on their faces. She probably thought about what was going on.

Le Xiao looked at the documents that Michelle had prepared for her. Except for the staff of the General Affairs Department, there were no senior executives in the entire hall. Le Xiao seemed a little nervous, because every time such a meeting had been held, there would be senior executives accompanying her. she.

Although Le Xiao knew what needed to be conveyed to her family, there were some things that Le Xiao felt were not very good to say.

"There is only one purpose for calling everyone here today. The city will carry out a new round of reforms, that is, for the family. There may be more specific rectification measures in the future. Today I am here to explain some issues."

As soon as Le Xiao finished speaking, Chen Qiao laughed and said.

"If you have anything to say, just tell Secretary Le Xiao. We are also very confused about the recent situation. I think it would be better if we talk about some things directly."

After Chen Qiao finished speaking, many clan leaders nodded. Many of them wanted Le Xiao to explain the situation directly.

Le Xiao took a look at the manuscript, thought about it and said.

"Then I'll just say it directly."

Lexiao coughed after thinking for a while, scratched her head and said.

"That's right. Regarding business, some of your privileges need to be taken back. As for land, some planting land needs to be taken back."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the family were dumbfounded for a while. They did not expect that this day would come so quickly, because the family has privileges in management, can avoid some inspections, and has enough business skills. With the right to speak, 9ke’s market pricing often requires the participation of family members.

Soon there was chaos under the stage, and many people felt unhappy. The patriarchs of several big families in the front row chose to remain silent. They all knew that now they were facing Alpha instead of Locke. In the past, Alpha was It advocates directly reducing some of the family's privileges.

If another family comes forward in this matter, they will definitely be investigated from the beginning to the end by Alpha. After Chen Qiao's grandson had problems before, Chen Qiao also used the family's privileges to alleviate some of Chen Qiao's crimes.

Le Xiao listened to a lot of people talking, and she couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up and patted the table and said.

"You have all made a lot of money, and you always talk about the past, but have you ever thought about giving back to the city? You have received huge benefits from the city and obtained so many privileges. What about those people like you? They have been struggling in pain for so many years. Now they are only reducing your privileges, and nothing else has changed. You can still live a good life now. There are many companies that were squeezed into bankruptcy by you in the past, and those individual businessmen There is no room for survival. You are doing things that are wrong and walking on the edge of the law. These things are no longer a day or two. Or are you really not planning to do anything for this city? Go to the bottom and take a look. Look at those businessmen, many of them are voluntarily doing something for this already devastated city. And you? With your legs crossed, when the city was in crisis several times, you not only didn’t think about how to help this city. This city that has nurtured you is still thinking about how to make money from it and how to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Le Xiao's cheeks turned red with anger. She looked at the people in these families angrily. Many of them seemed unwilling to have their privileges reduced at all.

"Every time the city wants to develop in a positive direction, you jump out and block this and that. The same is true for the agricultural base in the barrier area this time. What do you want to do? Build it so that more people can have food and clothing, so that more people can have food and clothing. Can’t you live a good life? You selfish bastards.”

Le Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and started to curse. The whole hall was silent. Le Xiao also realized that what she said was a bit too much, she said hurriedly.

"What I just said is not to accuse you, but what do you rely on to stand on the First Avenue? They are all those who are willing to become the cornerstone of the city, those ordinary people who work hard in suffering every day, they are This city is supported, not you who drink tea every day and enjoy life. If there were no people in the agricultural department who work hard to plant every day, you would have starved to death. How much more do you want to ride on the heads of these people? Year? It’s been a century, it’s time to be content.”

After Le Xiao finished speaking, he glanced at it, then gritted his teeth.

"I have finished what I want to say tonight. Please think carefully about it when you go back. If you are still like this in the future, I promise that I will personally arrest every one of you who still wants to ride on those people."

Le Xiao left angrily. At this time, the patriarchs of the entire family did not break out into commotion, but were whispering. Chen Qiao closed his eyes and said.

"The era of our family is completely over. I can be sure of this. Anyone who wants to do something will be crushed to pieces."

The patriarchs of other big families all nodded. Le Xiao had clearly conveyed the intention of the executive department. The current general manager was Alpha.

"Just wait, we will just follow what they say."

Wang Degui smiled and said, he stood up helplessly. At this time, many members of the family stood up one after another. They knew that in the future, the city would not allow them to unite and threaten the city to compromise like they did in the past, because now The administrative department will not compromise, they will definitely get to the bottom of it.

Many family members left the venue dejectedly. An era belonging to the family was about to disappear. In the future, families would need to compete with ordinary businessmen and advance and retreat together.
