Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Le Xiao sat limply on the dirt. It was still more than ten minutes before 6 o'clock. Dusk had arrived. Everyone else had completed today's tasks. Many people had exceeded their quota, but Le Xiao had not even completed half of it. Only 4 boxes were moved.

I had heard about the cruelty of heavy physical labor here from reports before, but only after I actually did it did I realize that I couldn't move my hands and feet at all, my knees were worn out, and the ten fingers on both hands seemed to be about to break, but they no longer felt anything. , there is no strength at all in the legs.

All the bones in the body seemed to be falling apart. According to regulations, if the daily workload cannot be completed for a long time, more than three times, wages will be deducted. Le Xiao remembered that some people had worked here for a month and had their wages deducted. Most of it.

Thinking that this was decided by the Business Department, Le Xiao smiled helplessly.

"Let them do it and see."

But now is not the time to let go. Time is passing by. It doesn’t matter if there is no dinner. Le Xiao just wants to go home and lie on the soft bed. But Le Xiao can’t stand up. She has been sitting for half an hour. .

Didi didi

At 6 o'clock sharp, the other women sighed that it was finally time. They walked out tired but a little excited, planning to eat.

"Thanks."

Le Xiao helped the woman who had just taken her potatoes up.

"It's not too late to go to the business department tomorrow. It's much better to just lie down and make money."

Le Xiao smiled bitterly and pursed her lips. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't.

At this moment, Le Xiao finally realized that many people could no longer get up and kept falling towards the bottom. Eventually, their citizen levels were cleared and they were expelled from the city and headed to the dark and cold barrier area.

"I'm sorry, you drive over here to pick up the people here and take them to the dormitory."

The member of Section 12 at the door sighed helplessly, but Le Xiao still insisted on going home.

"Sorry, sorry."

Sitting in the car, the cool evening breeze blew against her face. Le Xiao was greasy and felt a little happy, but she was a little sad inside.

"Little sister, this is the first time I've seen a little girl like you come to a place like this. Is there anyone at home? Or is there anything you need to take care of?"

Le Xiao pursed her lips and shook her head without crying.

"Uncle, I just fell down temporarily. It's okay. If you get some sleep, I should be able to get used to it tomorrow."

The member of Section 12 who was driving sighed helplessly.

"Very good, little girl. It would be great if my daughter was half as good as you. I will take you to sow seeds tomorrow. It will be a little more relaxed."

Le Xiao hummed and said thank you, and the middle-aged clerk in front of him smiled helplessly.

"By the way, little girl, it's better to eat less liquid food. It's really not good to eat too much."

Le Xiao looked at it doubtfully, but soon laughed.

"It's okay, uncle. My physical fitness is still very good. I'm just a little uncomfortable today because I've never done it before and no one has taught me. But I learned it today. In a few days, I'll get used to it and dig potatoes."

The car stopped at the bottom of a slope. There was a lot of commotion above. The trading station was very busy at this time.

"How about I drive a little further and take you up."

Le Xiao shook her head, staggered out of the car, said thank you again, and the car slowly left. The sun was about to set. At this time, there was another scene on the grain base. It was very beautiful, and the fields were dyed. With the afterglow of the sun, large areas of golden red, everything in front of you is like a scroll.

Le Xiao trembled and moved her steps. As she adapted to walking little by little, her whole body began to feel severe pain.

Le Xiao almost moved uphill little by little, but before taking two steps, she sat down sideways, tears overflowing from her eyes.

"It hurts, my waist is about to break."

There was a faint sound of footsteps behind her. Le Xiao just turned around and her eyes widened. Gene casually lifted his uniform, unbuttoned his shirt, and walked slowly towards the wind with a cigarette in his mouth. Wearing a gentle smile.

"What's wrong, young lady, do you need help?"

Gene hunched over and stretched out a hand, Le Xiao pulled him to his feet with difficulty, and immediately pressed his waist with a grin on his face.

But Lexiao turned around immediately, feeling a little bitter in her heart. She didn't want Jean to see her like this, covered in mud, looking like a kitten that was about to starve to death on the roadside.

There was a shaking, and Lexiao screamed, and the pain immediately made her scream out. Jean directly put the uniform on her and forcibly carried her up.

"Jean, me."

Xiao was so happy that she calmed down, rubbed Jean's shoulder, and wiped away her tears.

At this time, Jean smiled helplessly. He had just finished working and came over to see Le Xiao. He was a little unsure at first, but when he got closer, he realized that it was really Le Xiao. Jean felt a little happy. After all, he was still alive. What a chance encounter.

"As I said before, jobs with a monthly salary of 2,000 are still valid. If you want, you can go back to work after taking a few days off."

Lexiao tilted her head, feeling a surge of warmth, but somewhere in her heart she was still resisting.

"It's not good to be too pushy. You're obviously a girl. This job can always be reserved for you. You can call me anytime if you want."

A sense of sadness emerged from the bottom of my heart, but soon it became a bit mixed. Everything that happened after talking to Jean was in my mind. As expected, women just can't resist such a man.

Le Xiao pouted.

"What exactly is that?"

"Promise first."

Gene said with a smirk, Lexiao turned her head to the other side.

"Reveal a little."

Jean stopped talking, and many people on the street looked over with some confusion, because Le Xiao was wearing the uniform of Section 13.

"I understand, Mr. Jean, please give me a job."

For a moment, Jean stopped, then tilted his head, and their eyes met for a moment. Le Xiao pouted, looking at Jean's serious look, but Jean immediately started laughing.

"What are you doing? Why are you so annoying?"

After Gene turned around, his expression became a little serious again.

"Department 13 is currently short of a secretary, Miss Le Xiao. I now officially appoint you as the secretary of Department 13."

Le Xiao raised her head and was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. Her brain went blank for a moment. After a while, her brain circuits were finally connected.

"wait wait wait."

"Now that you've agreed, don't go back on it."

Le Xiao nodded slightly, but she was still in shock, because she knew very well that as a secretary, and also the secretary of the section chief, she began to feel abnormal pressure all over her body in an instant, because the secretary of the section chief was acting as an executive officer. Li is second only to the section chief, equivalent to the attendant next to the throne.
