Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Qun had just returned from the district office. He was leisurely holding an automatic sprinkler and watering the plants on the edge of the courtyard wall.

The more than a dozen servants at home were busy working on their own. At this time, Wu Qun's face was full of smiles. The family finally reunited last night. Nowadays, the work in the city means that all three of them are reunited. Liduo explained to his wife seriously last night and finally got her understanding.

"Master, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did anything good happen?"

A maid asked. Wu Qun shook his head and glanced at a decorative black ring around her neck. This ring was not for decoration, but it just looked that way in other people's eyes. There were other things around the ring. There are some wrinkles, a sign of slaves.

The problem of slaves has been around for a long time. It has existed since a long time ago when Wu Qun was just a rookie councilman. Slaves have appeared since the civil class was officially implemented.

Many unscrupulous businessmen will deliberately look for men and women with good looks and temperament. Most of them have difficulty finding suitable jobs after their citizen levels have dropped. They may not be too rampant at first.

But as more and more people are deported after their citizenship level reaches zero, many desperate people can only come to the upper levels to work as slaves for a year or two, while many companies in the middle and lower levels have many vacant temporary positions. , most of these people are slaves. They work in these companies in name only, but in fact they only work as slaves at the upper levels.

A slave with better quality is not cheap, starting at 5,000, and many intermediaries can get 30% or more of the slave. There are a total of 5 slaves in Wu Qun's family, and the prices are all 6,000 a month.

Most slaves will sign a one-year contract, which is the minimum requirement. As slaves who come to serve in many upper-level homes, in addition to daily work services, they also need to provide some special services to their masters. Wu Qun knows them. Many people have very perverted hobbies, but he knows about it, but he has never participated in it because he is not interested, and in his eyes, these slaves are just a group of people who cannot survive, and they have no choice but to cling to the citizen level. for it.

The slave market is a relatively large and complex underground trading network. There have been many big moves in the business department in the past few years, but the slaves insist that they come to the upper levels to work as servants through some intermediary companies in the middle and lower levels. Because no one is a fool. Once caught by the Bureau, the citizenship level and money that were finally exchanged for blood and tears will be lost.

The reason why Wu Qun bought the slaves was partly as a push and partly as a gift. After all, these slaves had good working abilities and worked hard at housework.

"Are you ready?"

Wu Qun asked, and the servants nodded. Wu Qun glanced at the pastries that had been placed in the backyard. Wu Qun was still waiting for someone. He came back early because he received a message from the person he was waiting for, so he came back early.

Looking at the five slaves at home, Wu Qun sighed. He planned to fire them after this year. After all, he didn't want to cause trouble. He had already heard that Alpha had been to District 10, which was the most rampant place for slaves in the entire city. The guys who live there are all middle-class people. They have spare money in their pockets and don't have much pursuits. Eating, drinking and having fun are what these guys like very much.

Wu Qun once persuaded this group of guys that it would be better for them to restrain themselves, but it is impossible to change the bad habits they have developed over the years. They rely on themselves as the backbone of the city, and the business department does not dare to touch them. , plus there is no evidence whatsoever.

But Wu Qun knew very well that this was just their self-comfort. Soon the Executive Branch would take action. After all, now that the Executive Branch had overwhelmed the MPs, it would be difficult for the factions of the MPs to rise in a short time. Everyone knew that the Executive Branch would With the evidence of black market transactions in their hands, it would be very simple to kill them.

At this juncture, there will be no serious internal fighting for the time being, but the two huge bills can only be passed by the executive branch, and the MPs have also shut up.

"We might as well fire them next month."

Wu Qun muttered. At this time, he had already seen some servants standing aside respectfully. After a while, Chen Qiao walked in holding a cane, wearing a gray suit that was not very conspicuous, and a round hat. .

"welcome."

Chen Qiao nodded, and immediately the servants around him dispersed. Wu Qun personally poured Chen Qiao a cup of tea.

"Old Chen, what are you so anxious about?"

"The Phoebus family."

Wu Qun had already expected that this was the reason why Chen Qiao came to him, and it was about the Phoebes family.

"They are already half dead. Is there any problem?"

Chen Qiao took a sip of tea and stared at Wu Qun. He knew very well that this guy who seemed smooth and smooth on the surface was thinking very deeply and was very cunning and cunning.

"Don't mention it if you know it, Xiao Wu."

Wu Qun smiled and shook his head helplessly.

"It is true that it is not an accident that the three secretaries of the business department went to the Phoebes family's resort hotel for vacation this time, but they should not have any impact on you!"

Chen Qiao shook his head.

"If they are used by the Executive Branch, what should we do?"

Wu Qun immediately understood what Chen Qiao meant. Chen Qiao Group also has many private lift companies. Now they provide many private lifts in the city, and the two giant motion lifts and The cost of a car is worlds apart.

"Old Chen, sometimes it's better to give the other party a way to survive. After all, everyone has difficulties."

"We have submitted the transaction intention documents for batch lifts to the 6, 7, and 8 departments as early as possible, and the business department has already taken a strong breath. Are we expected to remain silent?"

Wu Qun took a biscuit, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Ask Xiao Wu knowingly."

Wu Qun nodded, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"You want me to ask the guys in District 19 to do something, is that right?"

Chen Qiao nodded, then showed a sinister smile.

"The Phoebes family has racked up a lot of debt over the years. Their hotel estate seems to be very profitable, but in fact it has a lot of debt from the district. It's a simple question. The debt of District 19 is cleared."

"It's really a vicious approach. This is tantamount to the immediate destruction of their family."

boom

Chen Qiao slammed the tea cup on the table.

"Don't be so angry, Old Chen. How old are you?"

"There is no need to be polite to a family that is behind the times, right?"

Wu Qun picked up a biscuit, bit it into pieces again, and then picked up the phone.

"I know, it's true. If they still can't pay, they can use the manor's facilities to sell off the money."

Chen Qiao nodded.

"It's up to you, Xiao Wu. After all, at this juncture, if we back down, they can't do whatever they want!"

Wu Qun hummed and pressed the phone.

"Brother, do you think my little sister can succeed?"

Collison sat comfortably in a room at Hotel No. 7, yawning and looking at the lively neighborhood outside the window. Ronnie sighed.

"I hope it will work, but those three secretaries are all weirdos, but the two section chiefs are also in our hotel, which is really a surprise."

The two brothers became restless. The family's business was in dire straits and would soon go bankrupt. Participating in these two bills was their last choice. Over the years, their family's debts had increased. More and more.

"I really don't understand what grandpa is thinking. I think he is an old fool."

Collison said and Ronnie sighed.

"Grandpa thought he could make a comeback, so he naturally continued to invest money in cars."

"Let me be honest with you, brother, do you know how much our family owes?"

Ronnie looked at his brother suspiciously.

"I remember when we set up the account last year, it should be a little over 800 million."

Ronnie shook his head.

"At least 2 billion. A long time ago, our parents went out to invest with some spare money at home, but it turned out to be in vain. They invested in liquid food that was said to be a guaranteed profit. As a result, we did not receive food residues at all, and the output was naturally small. It was unable to compete with the Sanlian Company at the time, and its market launch targeting the middle and lower classes also completely failed. At that time, it owed more than 800 million."

Ronnie stood up in shock and walked quickly to Collison who was lying on the bed.

"How did you know?"

"In June, you were supposed to be helping your parents, but you were not here. When I was playing in the hotel, I saw my little sister crying that day. She and her grandfather went to the district office that day, and when they went there, Okay, I cried when I came back, so I asked, and my little sister got excited and said, we owe the councilors more than 1 billion, and Section 7 cannot borrow money, so we can only borrow money from the district authority."

Ronnie grabbed Collison.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Is it useful to say so? Brother."

Ronnie's face became serious. I'm afraid the interest rate on borrowing money from the congressmen was not high. Although their family's territory occupies half of District 19, District 19 is completely a resort area with a high number of tourists, but they can come to their manor. Almost all those who take vacation are rich people, and ordinary people will not come.

Every year, most of the tax revenue in the region is used to build regional resorts. What Ronnie couldn't imagine was that Ronnie actually borrowed money from the congressman.

"When did it start?"

Ronnie asked and Collison shook his head.

"Why don't you ask Grandpa later? I can't understand Grandpa's desire to win over the secretary. Brother, you can come with me later. No matter what, we should hang around those three weird women more. It’s better, you have to seize the opportunity.”

At this time, Locke was at the door of the northwest warehouse, holding up the phone tremblingly. Jean and Ran Zai had just left for a while.

"What do you mean, Councilor Zhou Ming!"

"Mr. Locke, there's nothing I can do about it. Your debt has exceeded three times the annual tax. I will come over in person later."
