Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The sunlight filtered through the frosted glass and dimly entered the room. The room was neither too cold nor too hot. Alpha was lying quietly on the sofa.

The high fever had gone away, her forehead was still wrapped with a bandage, and her body had regained some strength. It was just past 3 o'clock.

3 o'clock is when the sun is hottest, but the roof of the General Affairs Department uses an intelligent photoelectric coating, which can automatically adjust the amount of light absorbed, allowing part of the light to penetrate into the house and adjust the indoor temperature.

The General Affairs Section is warm all year round, even at night. The temperature is not too low and the temperature during the day is not too high.

Latis and the others have followed Locke down below to deal with the many issues arising from this incident. Alpha plans to rest until 7pm and then go to the Congress Hall.

At this moment, Alpha was still thinking about the previous battle with lingering fear. He had obviously won, but as Quasimodo continued to strengthen his alienated cells, he could only let go and hand it over to Jean.

Alpha doesn't feel that he has lost. Just like what Gene said, things are like this in many cases. He clearly feels that he has not lost, but the final result is different.

Alpha smiled bitterly and shook his head. At this time, the door to the room was opened, and a burst of laughter came.

"Lord Alpha!"

Yin Xianglin looked at Alpha who was sitting on the sofa with some surprise. Alpha took a look. Next to him was Freya's daughter Michelle. Alpha had heard something about this child. Michelle looked at him and Alpha smiled. He looked over.

Michelle walked straight in front of Alpha, looked at Alpha with a cigarette in his mouth and asked.

"Master Alpha, my mother said that I should follow your example. Can you tell me what your example is?"

Alpha was a little surprised and said with a smile.

“You can learn something by example!”

Michelle seemed to understand and nodded, still looking at Alpha very seriously.

Yin Xianglin hurried over, pulled Michelle and said with an embarrassed smile.

"Michelle, let me take you for a walk elsewhere. Master Alpha is injured and needs to rest."

Michelle was looking at Alpha until she left the room.

Looking at the two people leaving, Alpha leaned on the sofa.

"A role model!"

3:11

Located in the eastern part of the city, this time is the most difficult time for the middle-class people in the east, as the hottest period of the day begins.

The temperature has reached 40 degrees in some places. It is located in the three school districts connected in the east. At this time, many students outside on the street choose to escape the heat in some refreshing drink shops on the street.

Many students on campus choose to escape the summer heat under the shade of some trees. There are a total of 151 higher education schools here with nearly 200,000 students.

Youthful vitality is synonymous with this place. The clean and novel streets are surrounded by shops related to youth elements. Nowadays, with the prevailing trend of elite education system in the city, higher education is no longer what it was in the past 4 or 5 years. A perfect college career.

Four years of higher education is only the foundation. There will be 10 or even 15 years of higher education in the future. Much of the education in the future can be learned while doing internships.

Creativity and technology are the main themes of education in the city. No matter what industry involves creativity and technology, it is impossible to cultivate corresponding talents in a short period of time, and the time for higher education is being lengthened.

In an increasingly competitive social environment, schools have become a fortress-like existence for many people, and the external society has shown its incomparable cruelty time and time again.

Only by preparing everything in the fortress, it is best to become an elite, so that you can have a foothold in this cruel society and be able to reach the upper class. No one wants to be a loser.

Although the definition of elites varies, in general it means possessing professional and meticulous industry skills, sufficient work ability, multi-faceted knowledge, and personal qualities, etc.

Except for a very small number of extremely smart people, it is impossible for most people to possess these abilities in a short period of time.

The elite education model in the city has been implemented many years ago. In fact, it is successful. These elites who graduated from school have become the backbone of all walks of life in a short period of time, exerting their own value. , emitting light and heat.

Under the premise that human beings have twice or even more life spans than in the past, the meaning of time becomes more fair and just. A dumber person is definitely not as good as a smart person. The former may need to spend three times or even more time than the latter. , can you join the elite ranks. Although the latter is easier, you still can't become an elite if you don't make corresponding efforts.

Although some people have been criticizing this model of gradual elitism in higher education over the years, in fact most people are enjoying the light and heat of the talents born under this education model.

Some people understand this as the fundamental jealousy of human beings, because you can never imagine what a painful blow it is when someone who is better than you has to work harder than you.

The cost of higher education has also become higher and higher in recent years. People who have reached retirement age in most industries will be poached by schools at high prices to provide elite teaching in the corresponding industries.

Some people have said that this kind of education is too deformed, but there are not enough arguments and arguments to support it. Elites are indeed driving social development, driving all walks of life, and making achievements in every field.

In this material world, grades determine everything. Even if some people still criticize this kind of education, it does not help.

In the entire student area, there is a relatively special girls' school, Shengde Girls' College located in District 40. This school has been established for more than ten years but has achieved amazing results. It is currently the best girls' school in the city.

The white and well-proportioned Changxing main teaching building has spires of different heights. At first glance, it looks like fingers of different lengths. There are regular lawns on both sides. There are rows of 5-story buildings on both sides of the main teaching building. There are training grounds and gardens at the rear of the house.

This year, Seungde Women's College finally completed its full construction, and many people want to send their daughters here.

The selection of Seungdeok Women's College is completely different from other schools. It only selects from some basic schools that are directly related to Seungdeok. The selection criteria only account for 30% of the results, and the remaining 70% is within the school. The principal will personally select students based on their performance, desire to learn, and trial education.

The popularity of Shengde began with a group of graduates 5 years ago. These women who have entered all walks of life and exerted their light and warmth have enhanced the reputation of Shengde. Over the years, with the batch after batch of graduates, After the graduates of Shengde made great achievements in society, many people were surprised to find that many students who graduated from Shengde generally had poor performance in the basic education stage.

Although there are elites among these students, the proportion is not high, and there are more children from ordinary families. This is incredible to many people, and the most important thing is that the tuition fees of Seungde Women's College are different from those of similar higher education schools. In comparison, tuition fees are very low.

At this time, on the crisp lawn, many girls wearing sun hats and sun protection clothing were taking care of everything on the lawn.

Huite quietly looked at some documents sent from more than 30 basic education schools, and looked at the lists of students who will enroll next year. Some of them are from the upper-level Junjie School, and they are all very outstanding ones. girl.

Nowadays, the school is heavily in debt. In order to improve the school's facilities, before Section 7 blocked the borrowing channel, Whit and his former classmate Brandon borrowed more than 30 million to finally build the school.

During this period of time, businessmen and some family members kept coming over. At first, Huite met him, but then he saw no one. They all wanted to let their daughters enter this school, and the reward was naturally money. This is intolerable to Whit, where every student is self-selected.

Whitt will never allow such a thing to happen. Fortunately, now relying on some donations from graduates who have made achievements in society, the school can still sustain itself. All the teachers here are passionate about education. Like-minded people.

Chris also advised Whit to raise part of the tuition fee, so that at least the school would be less stressed, but Whit didn't do that. The tuition and miscellaneous expenses for each year were less than 5,000 yuan, which was indeed too little. .

It's just that Whit buys food directly from the Agriculture Department at the most basic food price every time, so the students eat well.

In the past, Whitt did not want to rely on this relationship. The 12 people in charge in the core were all his classmates. Only a few people knew about this relationship.

But after talking to Locke one time, Whitt let go of her prejudices.

"Either you die holding on to your prejudices, or you give up your prejudices and live!"

Whit still clearly remembers what Locke said at that time, so now all the facilities of Shengde Women's College are obtained at the lowest price. Even some medical drugs and equipment are purchased directly from Section 4, and some experiments The tools were obtained from Section 10 at a low price.

Noah also personally led people here to guide some teachers for a period of time, and many equipments were installed by Noah.

Duan Kong also gave the school a lot of conveniences. This feeling of cheating always lingered in Huit's heart. He just watched the students here do what they like after they walked out of the school one by one. , and both have achieved good results, Whit is relieved.

The only criterion for Whit's selection of students is kindness and virtue.

Looking at the list of more than 100 people from Junjie Academy, Huite discovered the names of some children from big families. Recently, people from these families often sent people over. As soon as Huite stepped out of the school, these people would come over to try to please him.

So Whit has not been on the streets for many days recently, and she can only avoid contact with these people as much as possible.

A touch of light blue particles floated out from Whit's fingertips, and she turned her head back in surprise. Immediately, Whit sighed helplessly and stood up with a smile.

When the window was opened, a touch of light blue particles floated in, accompanied by a smell of tobacco.

"Good afternoon, beautiful lady who is still working hard!"

"Come on, principal, don't you know how to go through the main entrance?"

Jean jumped in from the window, and after landing, he casually glanced at the small, but bright and tidy room.

"Why are you free to come here? Such a big thing happened today, as well as today's city meeting. Principal, aren't you going to attend?"

Gene shook his head and sat on the sofa. Whit walked to the wall, adjusted the light and shadow kettle, set the temperature for making tea, and took out a carved blue cup.

"are you available today?"

Whit was a little surprised and nodded.

"Principal, of course I have to be free when you are here."

"That's good, I will continue to guide you until you fully master this power."

Whit hummed, curled his lips, held a glass of water, and placed it respectfully in front of Gene.

"Where's Alpha?"

Gene shook his head.

"I can't guide her in the way she awakens the divine power to fight. Tang Rao and Deguna will give her good guidance."

"Why!"

Whit let out a long sigh.

"Although I am referring to this matter, it is not. Principal, you are always like this, can't you?"

"You have grown up!"

Whit walked behind Gene, put his hands gently on Gene's shoulders, put his cheek close to him, and said with a smile.

"No matter how old we are, there is still a child inside us!"

Gene smiled and nodded.

"I want to eat your risotto for dinner!"

Whit nodded.

"Is it really okay not to go to the city meeting? You should show your face anyway."

Gene shook his head.

"Many of the students you taught are quite good."

"That's of course. I'm not like the genius teaching you used to do, principal. There's only one thing I can teach students. Find something you like to do. It's very simple, isn't it?"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Gene came here more than a year ago to instruct Whit on how to use the power of the blue god. When Whit was chatting with Alpha, he told her that Alpha also seemed quite dissatisfied. Yes, this kind of distant feeling should not be what this pair of master and disciple should have.

Whit has seen everything Alpha has done since he was little. Basically, Gene would go directly to teach Alpha every day when he was free. Starting from dressing and eating, he taught Alpha many things step by step.

At that time, the city was under construction of the ring road, and the Angus couple were very busy. They were quite relieved to leave their daughter to Jean for training.

However, after Alpha grew up, Gene began to distance himself from his relationship with Alpha. It was no longer the relationship that he used to have in the past when he would carry Alpha around on his back around the city.

Whit also knows what Jean wants to do. Alpha is the best disciple Jean has trained, better than all the disciples Jean has trained in the past.

"I don't think there's any need to be so nervous, principal. Sometimes all it takes is one sentence. Isn't that okay?"

Gene smiled and stood up.

"Can you show me around the school?"

Whit squinted at Jean.

"If you go out, the little girls below will definitely come over in a swarm, but that's fine, I also plan to open a business major. After all, I owe you a lot. As long as there are willing students, I will follow your instructions without reservation. Cultivated by elite teaching in the field of business.”

3:41 pm

Located on the north side of Central Park in the Congress Hall, a large number of celebrities gathered here. Most of them were well-known people in society and well-known people from all walks of life. They were all invited to attend this city meeting. .

Hu Youran and Duke arranged a small room by themselves, and they were drinking. The wine here tasted quite good, and the food was also delicious.

Both of them were a little drunk at this time, and Duke sighed helplessly.

"Lao Hu, what you were worried about has happened."

Hu Youran hummed. Hu Youran had said in the past that the era of high wages was just an explosion of the demographic dividend accumulated in the past. Sure enough, although there was a depression in all walks of life after Angus Construction stopped, construction has begun again. .

“This construction is different from previous ones. There are too many things that need to be dealt with. And with the Angus family’s current financial capacity and the impact they suffered after the last construction was completely suspended, the construction process this time is much better than the last time. It’s tougher.”

Hu Youran has continuously elaborated on some simple and clear economic issues over the years. These things can be understood by ordinary people, but Hu Youran's remarks time and time again have finally come true, so now he is very popular, and Hu Youran He also tried to make as few inflammatory speeches as possible, because he knew that doing so would be harmful to the city but not beneficial.

The two often join forces on some programs, but recently they rarely participate in economic programs. Instead, they participate in some entertainment programs, but Hu Youran is a little disgusted.

At this critical moment of the city's crisis, there are still some good people who are instigating some facts in order to earn traffic and win attention. This kind of thing is what Hu Youran hates the most.

Especially in recent years, many news media have made one-sided criticisms of the structure of the lower class of society, often citing poverty as causing such-and-such to attract traffic.

The lower class had no right to speak. In the past years, but now it is different. The lower class councilors can help the lower class people to speak out. However, after Hu Youran had a little discussion with some of the congressmen, he always felt that they did not represent the bottom class. , but the degree of construction in the area.

"I wonder if I can apply for the right to speak."

Hu Youran sighed sadly, Duke smiled and nodded.

"I think it's better to forget it, Old Hu. One more thing is worse than one less thing. We can just be spectators. Many things can't be changed if we want to."

Hu Youran and the others still don't know what the specific topic of this meeting is. They can only check the specific things before a topic starts.

There was a knock on the door of the room. Hu Youran got up and walked over. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xingyuan standing at the door.

"Mr. Xingyuan, may I ask?"

Xingyuan bowed politely and explained his intention.

"I heard that you two have also applied for the right to speak. I have one thing to ask you. If you two have the opportunity to speak in the next few days, can you help me explain a question."

Hu Youran was a little surprised, but he still has a good impression of this writer Hu Youran, because his works confront a lot of things directly, without any avoidance, and present the bloody facts in the form of stories, which has achieved very high praise. Achievement.

"Say it!"

“Institutionalized Problems.”

The cheerful expression on Duke's face froze for a moment, and he sighed.

"It's really best not to raise this kind of question. Young people, this kind of irritating approach will be annoying."

Xingyuan shook his head.

"If no one is willing to take on this social problem"

"I understand, Mr. Xingyuan, if I speak in front of you, I will raise this question. After explaining the problem, I will throw the question to you. Please prepare your words and answers."

Xingyuan bowed solemnly again.

"grateful!"

After saying goodbye to Hu Youran, Xingyuan planned to go to the next place, but at this time Mansha pulled him back. Xingyuan had already told many people about this issue, and encountered many cynicisms, and many people did not I am willing to raise this issue because it may affect the executive branch and the group of parliamentarians.

"Is it useful for you to do these things?"

"It will be somewhat useful. Since we need to stratify, institutionalize, and start to solidify everything, then we must take into account the demands of the corresponding classes, what they need, what they expect, instead of treating everyone equally, let everyone come It’s not right to adapt to these times, so I want to speak out.”

Mansha smiled easily. She just liked this about Xingyuan. He was naive but very cute. In such a lifeless environment, she could get some spiritual comfort from him.

"There is also a person who thinks the same as me, Mansha!"

Xingyuan said and looked at Peristan, who was ignored with a look of disgust. He walked over after seeing Xingyuan.

"Mr. Xingyuan, you should know about Hydra's case. I hope you can give me some support when I speak out."

Mansha looked at the cartoonist in front of her, sighed helplessly, took out a cigarette and lit it before laughing contemptuously.

"This is already a mark-like incident, Mr. Perstein. Indeed, we can give you some support, but..."

"The same goes for me, Mr. Perestan. I don't think Hydera is a criminal. He has been imprisoned for 15 years. I heard that you continue to speak out for him."

Peristan stretched out a hand, and Xingyuan took it.

"I don't care what kind of trouble you cause."

Mansha knew very well that this case had become a paradox and had no solution. She heard a familiar squad leader say that the criminal in this case, Hydera, would receive preferential treatment from the administrative department after he was released from prison. This was a bit of a treat for Hydera. Compensation, as well as the characterization of this case, has been the characterization of malfeasance from the beginning, and it is impossible to change the outcome after the trial.

Once the result is changed, the legal impact on Brilliant City will be huge, and neither the administrative department nor the council members will want to change the result.

The only way to do this is to constantly improve the system and laws, which is what the legal association’s executive branch is currently promoting.

At this time, Mansha saw Jielin who was chatting and laughing with several men. She looked at Jielin with a somewhat sad expression and wanted to pass by, but she could not move even half a step.

But what surprised Mansha was that Jielin seemed to have become more cheerful recently, always with a smile on her face. She had previously learned through Xingyuan that Jielin was in a very bad mental state, and it turned out that she had inherited it. Mr. De's mental illness.

Mansha didn't know how to tell Jie Lin that this relationship that had already formed a rift could not be repaired at all, but she just wanted to sincerely say sorry to Jie Lin, and that the worsening of Mr. Reed's illness had also passed with her. The use of Mr. Reed's and Jaylyn's music has been done without permission.

At this time, some people from the entertainment industry came over. What worried everyone most this time was the problems that people in the entertainment industry had with their families in the past. It was not just simple illegal body trading, but also drug abuse, money laundering, etc. A series of questions.

After the incident broke out last year, it was reported that the Acting Department wanted to use strict laws to control the chaos in the entertainment industry. Many people in the entertainment industry felt the crisis. Once the laws for entertainers were promulgated, it would have a negative impact on the entire entertainment industry. It's devastating.

The entertainment industry will no longer be easy. No one can imagine that this form of artistic expression, film and television, is bound by laws. In some shooting and other issues, you still need to think about whether it will violate the laws. It is difficult to achieve results if you are timid. Come.

Once controlled by the law, the entertainment industry will lose its freedom. Most people have discussed this with Beckinsale. Beckinsale also said that he will not let this law pass and will only strengthen regulations and rules. detailed rules to allow people in the entertainment industry to have a more correct code of conduct.

Mansha also knows very well that among many famous people, few have the opportunity like Xingyuan. Beckinsale and Lanny can spare no effort to help Xingyuan, which is very rare.

Most people who become famous can only rely on capital to promote them. Even if they are strong, they still need capital. Without the promotion of capital, it is extremely difficult to shine.

How to obtain these capitals is a required course for everyone who enters the entertainment industry.

There is a saying circulating in this circle that as much fame as you can bear, you must bear as much stigma.

In Mansha's view, this sentence applies to every circle. There are very few real geniuses. Mansha also knows that she is not a genius. She now has a team under her, and she is responsible for the high-quality parts of this team. It is very common to spread the word through your singing voice, gain fame for yourself, and get financial rewards from the people in your team.

Talented people are not necessarily famous, and famous people are not necessarily talented. Only a very small number of true geniuses can achieve both.

Therefore, in Mansha's view, talent and fame do not come from the same person, and the combination of the two is quite reasonable, because this is the material world.

Looking at Xingyuan, who was still discussing passionately with Peristan in front of her, Mansha smiled helplessly. Xingyuan and Peristan were both very talented geniuses, and had the good luck given by God, so they finally stood. Come up.

Mansha quietly looked at the dazzling light shining in Central Park, feeling that there was too much light here.

"Everything here is the most beautiful in the entire city, but it may also be the cruelest at the same time!"
