Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The afternoon sun was a bit strong. Osman had just had his meal. He was walking on the city wall facing the fortress area from the eastern guard station. This was the last area where the sunlight reached. The middle section of the bridge in front of him was the largest covered area by the rays of the artificial sun. At this time, there were some trucks on the bridge transporting workers returning from the construction site.

The door has been opened, and people from Section 12 are preparing to inspect the returning workers and terminate their contracts directly. Osman knew just when Natasha came over that it was the old man Ye Chunwang who asked these workers to come back.

At this time, the first truck approached. Groups of workers got off the truck, carrying their own reclamation equipment, preparing to terminate the contract directly with the people in Section 12, and also received a three-month salary of 1,500 yuan. After excluding the 3% tax, there is still 1,455 yuan, which is satisfactory to many people.

However, there was a commotion below. Osman brought up a light and shadow screen, and a worker angrily threw the contents of his bag on the ground.

"Why?"

"Sir, since you have terminated the contract, you will no longer be a free equipment user in the Pioneer Plan. Therefore, based on the use and wear and tear of your equipment, your equipment fee of 228 yuan will be deducted. Is there any problem?"

This somewhat angry worker looked at the members of Section 12 in front of him, as well as many people from Section 3 next to him. He took the money from this section member angrily and walked into the Eastern Guard Station. At this time He just wanted to go to the bar for a drink quickly. On the streets inside the Eastern Guard Station, some restaurant and tavern owners were already standing in front of the stores with their people, ready to attract customers into the stores at any time.

The man didn't think much and ran directly to the door of a pub. He took a look at the price of beer, which was 50 cents a cup. He immediately rushed in and asked the boss to get him a beer and some delicious food first.

There are constant disputes between workers and Section 12 due to equipment damage or wear and tear. Although most people feel that this is a disguised deduction of money, they have breached the contract first and only bargained for a few words before taking the money and leaving. The guard station became lively. At this point, most of the people from Section 3 were resting in the dormitory, while some were maintaining order nearby.

More and more people are flocking to restaurants, bars and pubs. The past three months have been too painful for most people. Many people have gathered together to have fun. 1,500 yuan is for the consumption of the bottom class. It is already a very large amount of money.

Osman sat helplessly on the ground and watched the trucks parked on the bridge. Most of the workers were still waiting anxiously. There were more workers coming back this time. Osman originally thought that not so many people would come back, but Now it seems that at least three to four thousand people have returned.

People are creatures that give up easily. Osman smiled helplessly. There would definitely be a riot in the city because of the return of so many workers.

Didi didi

Osman answered the phone.

"Why let them in?"

Osman looked at Zijuan and Ling Hong on the screen who seemed to be eating in a restaurant, and he scratched his head.

"Honey, you are on vacation now, this matter"

"Send all these workers back."

Zijuan stared at Osman slightly angrily, and Osman didn't know how to explain it. At this time, on another light and shadow screen, on the road at the main entrance of the Eastern Guard Station, media vehicles had already driven over. A large number of reporters came directly from When we got off the car, everyone wanted to report the incident immediately. At this time, Osman burst into laughter without tears.

"Wife, you all eat slowly first. The reporter is here. I can handle it."

As Osman hung up the phone, at the gate of the Eastern Security Station, a council officer came with people and directly blocked the gate. The reporters did not come in. They just continued to shoot outside and started reporting. After getting up, Osman saw the eye-catching title as soon as he opened the news page.

The Pioneer Plan seems to have failed!

Osman knew very well that what happened next would definitely set off a new round of storm in the city, and what exactly he was doing in the barrier area would soon be spread.

After contacting them one by one, Osman directly ordered them not to block the door. As long as the reporters came in quietly and did not cause any disturbance, they were required to undergo strict full-body inspection when entering the eastern guard station.

Soon a testing machine was delivered to the door, and reporters began to line up consciously, waiting for the test before entering the city.

Nowadays, no vehicles can go to the barrier area through the guard station. The garbage generated in some places where construction has not been completed will be processed by the garbage disposal company and turned into a mixture of liquid and solid, which will be poured directly into the barrier area. In the ravine.

This is also a helpless move. In recent years, a large number of garbage disposal companies have provided a lot of assistance to criminals operating in the barrier area. Some companies have been detected, as well as some insiders of Section 3.

The current situation of the 3rd Department is relatively stable, but its reputation in the city is still the same. Many people even mock the 3rd Department because they think it is the most useless among the 13 departments.

The reputation of Section 3 has plummeted, because it requires huge expenditures every year, and it does not play a very obvious role. The voice of cutting off the personnel of Section 3 is getting stronger and stronger. Osman is very powerless in the face of all this. Now, Section 3 There are still less than 50,000 members in the Department. Compared with the 5th Department, there are only more than 10,000 people. Now the number of the 5th Department has exceeded 30,000.

Osman has recently been selecting personnel who can operate in the barrier zone for a long time. There are very few people who have signed up. Even with generous promotions and salary packages, most of them are rejected and rejected. There is also widespread rumors within the entire 3rd Division. In the past, when the march in the barrier area failed, many people in the 3rd class had a certain aversion to going to the barrier area.

This matter started at the end of December last year, but now there are very few workers who are willing to go to the barrier zone. Even if there are those who are willing to sign up, their physical fitness and ability are not qualified to work as barrier zone monitors.

It is necessary to track criminals in that dark, hard, and cold place for a long time. Not many people can do this kind of work.

At this time, reporters had already come in and were busy interviewing the workers who had entered the tavern. Osman planned to go down and take a look. He quickly took the elevator to the bottom floor. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, several team captains stood in a row. Platoon salutes.

"Bring some people here."

Osman said and walked out with his hands behind his back, and soon came to the outside of the pub. As soon as he came over, he saw a red-faced worker who seemed to be drunk.

"It's simply a lie. They're trying to trick us into going to that kind of place to do experiments."

"Yeah, it's impossible to grow anything."

As dissatisfaction came one after another, reporters were interviewing these workers and learning about their daily work and life in the barrier zone.

Osman didn't intend to stop anything, because he heard Clark vaguely mention this matter when he was drinking. It was indeed very bad. Now there is no ability to revive the barrier area, but why did this plan start? Osman seemed to have thought about it, but many things could only be stored in his heart and could not be spoken out at all.

Osman was walking leisurely on the street. At this time, there was a lot of noise on the street. A large number of reporters entered the pub to conduct interviews, but everything was in order. Osman had already received the call from the workers' residence. The telephone number of the director at the construction site.

"What Old Man Ye did is the right thing."

This was Osman's first reaction after hearing what happened. Even though the matter had already been fermented, the actions of the 12th Section this time should not cause everyone to unanimously point the finger at the Xingke Section.

"Perhaps this is the only way to satisfy people."

The workers did not uniformly say that the business department deceived them. Some workers also talked about getting along with some members of the business department in the barrier area and how they helped.

Journalists now no longer dare to randomly write random reports to gain attention. Once the reports are inconsistent with the facts, they can easily be arrested.

At this time, CBV was broadcasting a special program, and the old pair of economist Hu Youran and sociologist Duke began to leave the country again.

Osman smiled, looking at the relaxed but slightly serious expressions of the two people, and probably knew what was going on.

1:03 pm

There was a rumbling sound of machinery, and Latis stood quietly in a work shed, looking at the current construction drawings of the new prison. More than 40 meters have been excavated underground, all of which were excavated by manpower and some machinery.

"It's already the fastest speed, Lord Latis."

A construction engineer from the company on site said, and Latis nodded.

"Continue digging first and follow the construction drawings I gave you."

The engineer next to him nodded. Latis took out a cigarette and lit it before walking out. In front of him was a pit that was still expanding. There were a large number of elevators on the edge, which were constantly carrying some stone materials. , every place in the pit is guarded by people from Section 11, supervising the work of these heavy-duty prisoners.

Latis looked at the place in the distance quietly. The situation here was indeed very cruel. The labor force of the heavy-duty criminals was squeezed to the maximum extent. They were digging and moving day and night. Many heavy-duty criminals' bodies were in varying degrees. Some of them suffered from strain and illness, but before these injuries healed, it was just a temporary delay, and then it would be their turn again. If this cycle continued, many heavy-duty prisoners were already miserable, and even some light-duty prisoners could only come here to participate.

Latis was a little shocked by what happened to the two reporters in the prison before, but C was too hasty when he came to deal with it. Now that the two reporters have been imprisoned for 2 years, Latis is very worried. Clearly, all the problems in this place are clearer than anyone else.

"What can I do if I just know it!"

Latis smiled helplessly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at the miserable prisoners below. Latis wanted to rely on the new prison to build the prison into a place where the prisoners could have some freedom inside the prison. Some spaces have even been built into a place where prisoners can rehabilitate themselves.

The new cells are all single rooms, and all single rooms are equipped with light and shadow equipment. A room of 5 to 6 square meters is enough for all prisoners to eat, drink and relieve themselves. There is no need for a ventilation area, and the only place where prisoners can go out is to farm. Work at the base.

It's just that it's impossible to build this prison in a short time. Funding is a huge problem. Now Section 11 is still helping the Angus family, and a lot of the black gold in the prison has gone into the Angus family. In the account, this was allowed by Congress behind the scenes. As long as the construction is completed and the Angus family makes a stable profit, the money can be returned to the prison.

Now the only thing to do is to lay a solid foundation for the new prison, and to dig an evacuation tunnel as Gene had imagined. The underground construction is particularly difficult. This evacuation tunnel requires more than 100 entrances, which can be opened in the shortest time. , allowing hundreds of people to enter the tunnel to take refuge, Latis also thought about it. The construction of such a tunnel can only rely on the prisoners digging day and night.

Many things in the prisons are very old. Up to 70% of the cells in the four prisons are old. The cold and damp conditions characterize the prisons today. Just cleaning the cells is a huge expense. Basically, one cell The cells are cleaned once a month to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. The stench is a true reflection of prison cells today.

Fights between some factions within the prison that occur every day are also normal. Although Section 11 deals with these things every day, there are still many things happening. Working in such a smelly and boring prison is not a good choice for Section 11. It is a great test for every member of the department.

Many ugly incidents in Section 11 are happening every day in the prison. Many grassroots officers are trying every means to squeeze material out of the prisoners. Latis is indifferent to these things. It’s not because he doesn’t know, but because of this. is an inevitable result.

Only when a new prison is built can these phenomena be eliminated to a great extent. Most of the prison's facility fees and wages are squeezed from the prisoners, although Congress now allocates a sum of money every month. , but this money is not even enough to pay the salaries of the department members.

Latis is feeling more and more exhausted, and everything now is not what Latis wants to see.

"Lord Latis, a new prisoner has been imprisoned. Do you want to come back and review it?"

A call came over, and Latis nodded after thinking for a while.

"Prepare the information and ask the prisoners to line up outside the section chief's office in accordance with the prison rules."

This is the norm every day. Latis will personally review the information of each prisoner and the price of the cell that each prisoner can accept. Those prisoners who cannot pay can only live in a crowded, damp, and stinky 16-person room.

Soon Latis returned to the prison. She quickly returned to the section chief's office. At the door were 18 people, both men and women, who were in prison today.

After Latis glanced around the prisoners, he returned to the office and began to call in the richest prisoner. He paid 50,000 yuan a year for a single cell.

Soon after checking the information and the money paid by the prisoner, Latis asked someone to take the prisoner to the cell. The whole process was quick, and it was the turn of the last six people.

"Sir, I have a certain degree of physical illness and I can't stand the cold environment. Can you let me live in a cell on the upper floor?"

asked a sickly prisoner in prison for a robbery, Latis put his chin in his hands.

"Can you afford to pay for a room for 4 people? It only costs 2,400 a year, and it also provides a certain level of high-quality food."

The prisoner shook his head.

"Sir, can I owe this money first? I can pay it after I am released from prison or from the income on the farm. I..."

"Take them down."

Several clerks immediately walked in and took the prisoners away without any explanation. The prisoner was still saying that he could pay later.

"Then just wait until you have the income from labor before paying. Credit is not allowed here!"

Latis has said the same thing so many times that he can't remember, because there have been some credit cases in the past. Some prisoners kept saying that they would pay, but those short-term prisoners did not fulfill their promises after they were released from prison.

Latis leaned over tiredly, lit a cigarette, and thought carefully about why he came to the prison department and became the section chief of Section 11. Latis couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I don't remember the reason anymore!"

Although Latis said he didn't remember it, he knew very well that after the gods customized the plan of the Business Department at that time, no one among the section chiefs of Section 11 was willing to take the job. After that, Alpha said that he was very suitable, and indeed he was very suitable. , Latis smiled bitterly, this may be the real reason why he was willing to come over. Latis has felt that he is different from other women since a long time ago.

Over the years, the reason why he helped Angus's family was not only because he used to go to Angus's house to celebrate the New Year, but the biggest reason was Alpha. Latis felt hot, took out his phone and pressed the 0005 number.

"What, is there a problem in the prison?"

"Would you like to have dinner together tonight? It's my turn to take a vacation."

There was a bitter laugh from the other end of the phone.

"I have a lot of things to do here. There are too many people taking the business exam this year."

"I'll come right over to you and we'll have a drink, in your office."

Alpha nodded in agreement. Latis smiled and hung up the phone. There was a trace of pain in his heart, but soon Latis stood up with a smile and began to arrange the work for the meeting. He could chat with Alpha every time he had a meal. A lot of things, this is the most relaxed Latis has been in recent years.

2:09 p.m.

"I can't wait any longer. I have to give a televised speech first."

In just one hour, public opinion began to ferment. This pioneer plan was criticized, and reporters also announced the number of terminated workers through on-site surveys. 4,013 people and 12 subjects had terminated their contracts. As well as a large number of details in the process of the barrier zone land recovery plan, now voices have begun to rise, and everyone is questioning the authenticity of this plan.

"Didn't Xiaoye say that he would deliver a televised speech in person? Can't we wait any longer?"

Gene asked. Locke stood up from his desk and walked to the sofa area. After sitting down, he took the wine bottle in Gene's hand and took a sip. He felt as if he was being pricked by small needles around his head. And now I still have a neurotic stomach disease that occurs when I am emotionally excited, and my stomach has begun to hurt vaguely. There is currently no specific medicine for this disease, and it can only be treated with some drugs to relieve labor pains.

"Take it easy."

Gene said and Locke sighed.

"What is that boy Clark doing? Even if you really can't come up with a plan, why don't you start construction in such a hurry? You can tell me."

A report on the real situation has been submitted a long time ago. After three months of success, the success rate of the land recovery plan is almost zero. This is simply unimaginable. Locke originally thought that with a 30% success rate, at least it would be about the same. Plant something first.

"How is your investigation going? The second trial is about to begin."

Locke was a little relieved at this time. He kept muttering in his mind that it was none of my business. After adding the effect of alcohol, his stomach relaxed a little.

"We haven't found anything yet. We just found some witnesses, but we still can't find any evidence."

Locke sighed helplessly.

"I've heard everything about Jean. If you really can't participate in any directional issues in the city, I really can't imagine it."

Gene said with a smile.

"I'll do everything I can."

"Isn't it a little too much?"

Locke said, thinking carefully about some of the things that Jean has done now. He broke into some gambling establishments and arrested them directly. The result was a storm in the city. Because he is the section chief, he can issue his own investigation order at any time. What Jean is doing now It was a bit of a headache, but most of what he dealt with were things that went unnoticed and were hidden underground.

There are also arrests of some wanted criminals. In short, what Jean is doing now is basically the same as the name of the Miscellaneous Affairs Section of Section 13 that was originally announced to the public. They are all doing miscellaneous errands for various subjects. After many tasks, Ji En Endu directly put the responsibility of changing the incident handler to the staff who mobilized the incident, which was equivalent to giving credit to these staff, and most of the staff happily accepted it.

Gene would also drink and chat with some ordinary staff in the area from time to time. Locke didn't know what was wrong with Gene. He used to always focus on big things, but now he spends most of his time dealing with small things. Previous cases Full power has been given to Mo Xiaolan, and Gene will not participate in the process.

"Jean, it's not what I said to you. Please restrain yourself. Look, the damage repair costs in some places last month were as high as 110,000."

“Shouldn’t our 13th subject have funds?”

Gene said with a smile, Locke rolled his eyes at Gene.

"What kind of funds do you need? What else did you say? You have 13 subjects. You are the only one in your 13 subjects. Do you really not want to equip you with a secretary? Do you need more capable people?"

"Then I push these capable people up, right?"

Locke nodded.

"I think you are very suitable for cultivating talents."

Gene smiled and shook his head.

"You should be aware of many problems at this stage, Xiaopang. Students trained under elite education are contributing to this city, but many things have begun to go wrong. Maybe they will fail, maybe they won't."

Gene said, Locke also knows what the current situation is in the business department. He no longer knows how to deal with it, sometimes.

"We can only do it step by step. I think it will get better in a few years."

At this time, the door to the room was pushed open, and Yin Xianglin walked in angrily.

"What's wrong Xiang Rin?"

Locke asked, and Yin Xianglin directly called up a report on 12 subjects.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be announced earlier? Why do you want to announce it now when something goes wrong?"

Yin Xianglin was a little excited as he spoke. Locke didn't know how to explain it. He was not used to this kind of thing in his daily life, so this kind of thing was basically handled by Locke alone. Most people in the city and in various subjects were normal. Yin Xianglin handles the handover.

"Hey, okay Xianglin, let's sit down and have a cup of tea first."

Locke walked over with a smile and pulled Yin Xianglin over, who was holding his hands angrily.

"I've had enough, I."

After Yin Xianglin saw Jean's expression, he did not continue speaking, but sat next to Jean angrily.

"Lord Jean, what should we do? Every day there is either this problem or that problem."

"As long as people still exist, problems will continue to arise, because no matter what kind of approach, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. Okay, Xianglin, it's almost time for me to leave."

After saying that, Jean stood up and walked slowly to the window. At this time, Yin Xianglin quickly ran over and grabbed Jean's sleeve.

"Director, can I go out with Sir Jean for a little while? The work at hand is over."

"I'll give you half an hour."

Yin Xianglin jumped down after Jean, and the two strolled across the square of the General Affairs Department. They met many department staff along the way, and then the two of them entered the store opposite.

"Oh, Master Jean, here we go again."

Zhang Wang came over with a smile. After the two of them arrived at the window, Yin Xianglin looked at the pedestrians passing by the window glumly.

"Lord Jean, one day there will be big problems in this city."

"perhaps!"

Jean only replied with two words. The slightest question may attract the attention of the whole city, which means that people in the city are under great pressure now.

"I really can't stand it anymore. I have to do a lot of things against my will every day."

Yin Xianglin was troubled, but Jean did not answer at this time, but quietly looked at the vehicles coming and going on the street outside. Most of the vehicles had only one place to go here, the General Affairs Department.

People who come here every day include family members and some businessmen, including congressmen. However, Jean saw a familiar figure at this time. As soon as Freya got out of the car, she was surrounded by reporters.

"There's always a way to fix it."

As Jean said, Yin Xianglin lay on the table and teased the hair hanging on the table.

"You always say that about Lord Jean."

"That's good, Xiang Lin. If one day, I'm really helpless, I'll just find an ordinary person who I like and make him a supervisor. What do you think?"

Yin Xianglin's eyes widened.

"Stop it, Lord Jean, you can't make such a joke."
