Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

January 1, 2220, just after 0:00

"Look it's fun over there, let's go over there!"

Several children shuttled through the crowded streets and looked at the colorful hot wheels flying towards the ground from the distance. They gradually expanded in the night sky, and the colors gradually changed from light to dark. The rotating fire rings also It expands little by little and then disappears.

In front of me is the clock tower square located at the headquarters of the 1st City Management Section on the middle floor. Accompanied by the heavy ringing of the big clock, dazzling groups of light suddenly rose around the square. The street lights went out in an instant. After a short period of darkness, At that moment, smooth and radiant light exploded in the air one after another, forming various shapes, including geometry, objects, animals and plants, etc.

People in the square were roaring excitedly, and the carnival night officially began.

A large number of people held up the beer in their hands, and the hops overflowed instantly. When the lid was opened, the beer spurted out. People were jumping, shouting, and celebrating this special New Year in the square.

Since the group of councilors was formed last year, after the first city meeting, the city has changed dramatically.

A new round of technological opening has allowed all walks of life in the city to bloom. Nowadays, the fireworks that can change into various shapes in the air are not real fireworks, but another extension based on the materialization technology of light and shadow. A technology called phantom.

This technology can use type III mimics to create luminous particles one by one. These particles can be freely transformed into the desired form at will. Finally, the particles will return to the ground and be recycled into some particle recycling ports on the ground. It is a relatively reliable semi-permanent consumable for fun. Even if it is inhaled by the human body, it can be easily excreted.

There are quite a lot of open technologies in industry. Many people can’t even believe their eyes because they never imagined that there would be so many new technologies in the city.

What makes most people satisfied is the current economic situation, and the lives of many people have become better.

Although overall wages have declined, prices have become more and more stable, and the quality of items is also very good.

The wages of workers have also begun to drop a lot, but they are much better than in the past when they could only work for a few months a year. With the push of parliamentarians, some factories can only sign contracts with workers of at least 1 year labor contract.

In fact, the money you get from working for a year is much better than working for a few months with a high salary. Nowadays, the average salary of workers is 1,500 to 2,000, which can already make most people live a good life.

In the past, the supply channels and lines in many supply chains were extremely chaotic, and there were even some cases of suppression. But now, with the active rectification of legislators and administrative departments, the entire supply chain is relatively formal. Except for the upper levels, Prices for the middle class and the bottom class are closer than ever.

The shops in the upper-level area mainly focus on high-end goods and high-level services, and are still the most economical areas.

Three subway lines have been opened in the south, covering 10 districts in the south. Commuting is now very convenient. Many people have directly disposed of their cars for cheap or put them directly on the back streets. Everyone has gradually become accustomed to this extremely convenient transportation. Way.

Even many people in the middle class would go to the bottom floor for entertainment at night. Today's public security is very good, and people from the administrative department can be seen patrolling the streets even in the early morning.

Everything before us was met with criticism a few months ago, but councilors lobby in different places in the district every day to appease people's emotions.

The economy is getting better again, but this is at the expense of most of the dividends in the region. Although some people are not optimistic, they have to admit that water and electricity subsidies are much less than in the past, and medical subsidies have not changed much. , but it has actually been reduced a lot because the price of drugs has been very stable.

Most of the tax revenue is used for economic construction in the region, and in order to enable each district to develop, councilors have carried out various industrial allocations within the region and achieved great results.

The dazzling light began to disappear, the lights in the square came on again, and the exciting music was instantly remembered.

At this time, in the distant sky, a semi-spherical machine floated over. A dressed-up Mansha stood on a floating machine and began to sing. Everyone watched in silence for a short time. The moment the song came to mind, cheers sounded like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Most of the people who come here want to pray, but they didn't expect that a top singer like Mansha would come here tonight.

Soon, with Mansha's slightly low but magical singing voice, more and more people from all directions gathered, and CBV's special carnival channel also started live broadcast.

The entire area instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy, and everyone was rejoicing and praying that such good days could continue as always.

At this time, there was a large orphanage in an area on the middle floor. All the children were wearing various clothes, and there were many people nearby. Everyone was watching the children performing on the stage.

Liu Ting stood comfortably in the director's room, looking at everything in the orphanage. She recalled that May 2 last year was the most painful day for her, and she finally got through it.

Liu Ting almost collapsed as soon as the city meeting's allocation of tax issues came out. Taxation did not take into account the issue of marginalization at all.

But then the business department gave Liu Ting’s store the right to be tax-free for 6 months every year, which meant that Liu Ting could choose to be tax-free during the best months. The district councilors also got a lot of good supply channels for themselves. Let your business prosper, and every month, the councilors will pay 1,000 yuan from their own pockets to the orphanage.

Liu Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and then Section 5 Chief Alpha also issued a modification to the public security management and disciplinary regulations. Instead of working on a farm for a year, you can choose to take care of some helpless people, or help in an orphanage. In addition, the helpers will also receive a salary, which will be paid by the region, and will eventually be given to the recipients.

Most minor criminals who violate the Public Security Law will be punished with such unconditional and unpaid punishment, but many people are still happy to do it in the city without having to go to the Agriculture Department.

Not far from this orphanage is a nursing home. It almost closed down due to poor management before, but fortunately, there is now a penalty system for helping out workers.

People who are being punished often come to such places to help. A huge figure is constantly shuttling in the corridor, carrying hot glutinous rice balls in his hand, and delivering them to the rooms of some elderly people.

"Dabiao, move quickly."

Olivia, who was wearing an apron in the yard, and Eric, who was having a meeting with some of his subordinates, looked extremely tired. Among them, only Xiong Dabiao was here for labor and punishment, while Olivia and Eric Rick and the others came here voluntarily.

"What's the rush?"

Xiong Dabiao jumped directly from the window of an old man on the second floor and landed with a bang. Everyone glanced at the floor.

"Look, when I fall now, I can already control my strength very well. It's no problem at all. Hurry up."

The entire nursing home is very busy. Today, many doctors who organized themselves came here to treat some elderly people. Most of the people living in such nursing homes are childless and homeless people. .

The penalties for crimes of less than one year in Section 5 also include more details on punishment methods, such as helping to clear street garbage, helping at some construction sites, delivering things to some social welfare facilities, etc.

Many people are very supportive of many of the policies introduced by Alpha this year, which is completely opposite to the usual high-pressure approach of the executive branch.

The Agricultural Section is now no longer overcrowded, and the labor force of the large number of criminals held in the prison has been utilized to the maximum extent.

This year is a happy year for many people, and there are two people who have created this situation, Alpha Angus and Freya Eberon.

Everyone is talking about the several TV debates between the two. Both of them are women, but they have done a lot of things that ordinary people can't imagine and really changed the city.

Nowadays, everyone's name for Freya has also changed. For this woman who has been secretly supporting the city's medical care all year round, many people are willing to call her queen.

Because no matter in any place, everyone sees the beautiful and powerful Freya with her head held high. Even at the banquet between the parliamentary factions, Freya is still the one who holds her head high.

With Freya's promotion, the business department finally opened some small and medium-sized family medical workshops, and the price of medicines in the city dropped a lot as a result.

At this time, many people switched to the CBV news channel for TV news.

Freya, who was dressed in pure white and elegant clothes, was holding her daughter in front of a shop on First Street in District 1. Behind Freya, many people gathered around, as if to see the Queen off.

A large number of reporters gathered at the door of the store. The reporters all hoped that Freya could say something. Freya looked at the camera with a smile.

"I wish you all a Happy New Year!"

Freya smiled and took her daughter and planned to leave, but the reporters refused to give up. Michelle looked at everything in front of her in surprise, because every time she travels with her mother, she always encounters such a thing, and it has become more and more recent. more.

At this time, many people from Section 5 went directly over and quickly evacuated the reporters. A team leader came over with a smile and bowed slightly and asked.

"Do you need us to escort you back, Senator Freya?"

Freya smiled and nodded, took her daughter into the management car, and left quickly.

As soon as she got in the car, Freya leaned back with a tired expression. She just came out to have a meal with her daughter. At this time, several cars with bodyguards behind her also started. This was a personal car prepared by her husband Charles for Freya. Bodyguard team.

Freya was a little uncomfortable with such days, but she knew it when she stepped into the Congress Hall. Freya glanced at her belly and looked at Michelle next to her with a slight smile.

"Michelle, do you think he is a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Michelle shook her head.

This pregnancy was really unexpected, but Freya was very happy. This was her second child, and he also hoped to raise her well. Looking at her daughter again, Freya recalled what Charles had said before. , there is no need to put such a heavy burden on Michelle.

Her husband Charles is also reluctant to let his daughter take the same path as him and enter the world of power, because the situation here will be catastrophic if you are not careful.

All of this now is due to the fact that during this period of time at CBV, she frequently put herself on camera, and even brought Alpha with her. In order to establish the image of the congressmen, Freya also knew that it was a necessary means. With the help of King Xue, In the end Freya could only be pushed to the front.

No matter where she goes, Freya will take Michelle with her. This child has completely adapted from being uncomfortable at the beginning.

Tomorrow is a new round of city meetings. City meetings will only be held when the number of submitted proposals reaches a certain level or when major problems occur. The city meeting is held at the beginning of every month, with a maximum of three days.

There are still too many things to deal with. The most thorny issue today is still the problem of Angus Construction. In the past eight months, Angus Construction has only started construction for a little more than three months. The rest of the time, construction has been at a low level. stagnant state.

Didi didi

"Sister Freya, do you want to come to my house for a drink?"

Alpha's voice sounded, and Freya smiled and hummed. Alpha actually returned to her home on New Year's Eve, which surprised Freya.

At this time, on the other side of the phone, Alpha glanced at his younger sister Niya, who was sitting opposite him on the sofa with a solemn face, hands on her legs, and an angry look on her face. Her parents were on Niya's left and right sides.

"I dont go!"

Niya still uttered three words sonorously and forcefully. Her parents had been persuading her all night. Now the Angus family no longer holds any banquets because every penny is extremely precious.

Alpha smiled helplessly and had already made an agreement with Whit. As long as Niya passed the high school exam, she could go to Shengde Women's College.

All of Niya's classmates have passed the exams, and now Niya is gone. However, in just eight months, Niya actually passed the exams for elementary school and junior high school. This shocked everyone in the family. After learning the reason, Alpha realized that it was the result of two girls in Niya's dormitory who worked day and night to give her extra lessons.

Alpha didn't say a word about Niya's academic problems, but of course Niya knew about her sister's relationship with Whit, the principal of Shengde Women's College. Niya just wasn't happy with this, and everything was arranged by her parents and sister.

If the family's marriage had not been included in the control of the marriage law, Niya would have married Jewell, and Niya had had enough.

"That's it, I'm going to go out and play."

After saying that, Niya stood up, turned around very quickly and jumped over the sofa. Just as she was about to run to the window, she saw a touch of cyan particles floating by.

Alpha held the wine glass and raised a finger with a smile.

"Where do you want to go?"

"You can't control it."

Nowadays, fat beating can no longer solve any problems. Niya is already 14 years old.

"Come and sit down Niya."

Alpha directly lifted Nia back and made her sit on the sofa before stopping to use telekinesis.

"So is there a school you want to go to?"

Niya shook her head happily and looked at her sister. The relationship with her sister has not been very good in recent years. Her sister is busy with work and does not care about her at all. Niya also understands more and more what she has suffered over the years. The cold eyes are all due to my sister being too good.

Alpha took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but finally put it away. She turned around and walked to the window, leaning against the window before lighting it.

The reason why Niya was sent to Shengde Women's College was because it was a girls' school and there were only female voices around. Niya's bad temper should be subtly improved.

And Alpha knows that Whit is very good at teaching, no matter what kind of student he is, so the best thing for Nia now is to send her to Shengde Women's College, which can essentially change Nia's too masculine attitude character.

"I just won't go anyway!"

Violet stretched out her hand to twist Niya's mouth. She gritted her teeth and turned her head. She saw her smiling father. Niya immediately glared at him and made a face at him. Avano smiled helplessly. Then he sat next to Niya and hugged her.

"You can't change this mantra. Wife, you've been saying this since you were a child and you beat her up."

Violet sighed. At this time, Niya looked at her sister Alpha angrily. She always felt that she was dissatisfied with her. She had always been like this towards her sister.

"Niya, you can go out and play if you want, if you can touch me once!"

Alpha smiled and blew out a puff of smoke. After Niya stood up excitedly, she rushed over and hit him with her fists raised.

bang bang

Alpha raised a finger and easily flicked Niya's fist away. Niya grinned slightly, a little surprised that her sister's finger was harder than iron and the knuckles were a bit thick.

"Sister, let's go outside."

Niya had long wanted to try it with her sister, and she jumped on her excitedly as soon as she went out. However, no matter how hard Niya waved her fists, her fists were easily bounced away by Alpha's fingers, and Alpha remained motionless and only stretched out his left hand.

"The momentum is good!"

Looking at her sister's appearance, Alpha smiled and her expression became a little more serious, because she found that her sister's body was really flexible and her movements were very smooth and not stiff at all.

Alpha also remembered what Rose had said, and it seemed to be true.

Niya really wanted to fight her sister, but her sister would never be serious with her, but this time it was different. Niya saw her sister's serious expression, waving her fists vigorously, and constantly changing the direction of attack.

Alpha fell into deep thought. She was thinking about the direction of Niya's education. However, after seeing her parents by the window, this idea was extinguished by herself. The best destination for this child should be in the business department. Niya has a personality completely different from her own. Different personalities are always carefree, but sometimes rough and subtle. This kind of flexible personality and tenacious tenacity is something Alpha knows very well.

"Have the opportunity."

When Alpha was stunned, Niya suddenly pretended to punch, but suddenly stopped it, bypassing Alpha's fingers, rushed in front of Alpha, jumped up and struck with her right fist.

The fist grazed the hanging hair on Alpha's right cheek diagonally, without touching Alpha. After landing, Niya turned around with a smile.

"I rubbed you, sister, can I go out to play?"

Alpha sighed helplessly. The ability to seize opportunities in battle was also innate. Although Alpha had already seen the future in his mind in advance, he was still deliberately brushed by Niya's hair.

"You can't play it too late."

Niya turned around and ran away with a smile.

"Where are you going?"

"Su Li's house."

The Angus couple were a little surprised, and Alpha was even more surprised, because the three of them couldn't imagine how Niya could have such a good relationship with Su Li.

Seeing Niya climbing out of the guardrail with ease, Alpha smiled helplessly.

Niya ran to the street excitedly. At this time, some drunk family members on the street began to avoid Niya after seeing Niya, because the destructive power of this little devil from the Angus family was now stronger. .

Angus's house was not far from Su's house, less than 1 kilometer away. Nia ran there within a few minutes, but at this time Nia was a little surprised to see Su Li talking and laughing with Gene next to her.

"Uncle Jean, why are you here? It's been a long time."

Su Li looked at Nia with a smile.

"Have you prepared Su Li's things? I have been educated by the three at home tonight, and I am starving to death."

Su Li made an OK gesture, and Gene just smiled and when he passed by Niya, he put a hand on her head and stroked it gently.

"I really hope to see you grow up in the future, but everyone will probably have a headache!"

Gene said, Niya stuck out her tongue at Gene, made a face, and suddenly punched forward.

boom

Jean held Nia's fist.

"The strength is not bad, but your preconceptions are too strong. Alpha's fighting mode is not suitable for you. The fighting method that suits you should be explosive power!"

Jean said, and Niya looked at Jean who was waving to her and running quickly towards the opposite family.

"Really, it's like this every time. It would be nice to teach me."

Niya curled her lips, and Su Li came out and put her arm around Niya's shoulders.

"It's thirty years too early for you to fight Mr. Jean. Even your sister is no match for him."

Niya pouted, Su Li's words were correct. Niya once asked her sister if she could beat Jean, but Alpha just shook his head every time.

Su Li understood it, she saw it clearly, because Niya had grown up watching Alpha, and would naturally imitate some of Alpha's movements.

Su Li held Niya's shoulders and walked into the family lawn. At this time, many people at the banquet looked at it strangely, because everyone did not know why Su Li had such a good relationship with Niya, and the age gap between the two was also small. Very big.

"What, you don't want to go?"

"How could I go to a girls' college like Shengde? It's a school run by my sister's classmate, and it's a girls' school."

Su Li sighed.

"That school has trained batch after batch of talents in recent years, regardless of whether they are smart or not."

Niya snorted coldly.

"I just don't like it. I'm not going anyway. How about you help me intercede with Su Li."

"No need to discuss."

Su Li decisively rejected Nia's proposal and took Nia to a small round table. Soon the butler turned around to arrange the dishes Su Li had just asked the chef to cook.

"How about taking the business exam?"

Niya lay on the table.

"What a crap test, I even failed the high school exam more than 30 times."

Su Li burst out laughing. Although the written test scores are not an absolute requirement for recruitment in the business department, they are also an important part and cannot be omitted.

The efficiency of the practice department has been very high over the years. This is due to the fact that only smart people can enter the practice department. They not only need a good brain but also a good body.

"But actually, the business department seems pretty good. If I want to go, I'll go to the 3rd department."

"What a surprise. I don't think it would be better for you to go to Section 5?"

Niya immediately pouted.

"I won't go. My sister is the section chief. What will everyone think of me then? Anyway, I'm suitable for moving bricks on the construction site. It might be better."

Su Li laughed and patted Niya on the back.

"Don't you have a few friends who work on construction sites all year round? Do you really want to experience it with them?"

"I'm serious Sully."

Su Li hummed, and at this time the food was brought up, and Niya immediately started eating in a good mood.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious. Our family is poor now and can't afford a banquet. It's been a long time since we've eaten something so delicious."

"Eat slowly."

Su Li looked at Niya who was devouring her food, and recalled what she had just discussed with Jean. The next plan of the business department was about to begin, to cut off the family's immunity.

Su Li didn't care, but most people in the family disagreed, but Su Li also knew that as long as she opened her mouth and didn't care whether they agreed or not, the Su family had the final say.

Looking at Niya Suli, she also understood that the Angus family should also agree. The other six big families would definitely not agree, and the slightly lower Abelon family where Freya belongs would also agree.

However, Su Li is still a little worried. Niya is now in adolescence, and her rebellious mood may become more and more serious. She will come over, and it is such a New Year, which means that she is quite uncomfortable.

"Niya, how about you just pretend that you are lying to yourself? Even though you don't like it, you still go to Shengde. I will come over to play with you from time to time and treat you to dinner."

Niya waved her hands.

"I won't go, Su Li. I've already thought about it. I'll just run away when the day comes."

Su Li laughed awkwardly.

"Can you run away?"

Niya put her hands on her forehead.

"Teach me how to escape. You have such a good mind."

Su Li picked up the wine on the table and took a sip. Niya took it and drank it down.

"It tastes weird, a little bitter, and extremely spicy."

Niya stuck out her tongue, and Su Li clapped her hands.

"Call the doctor quickly."

snap

Niya turned her head, smiled and fell on the table with her eyes wide open.
